The units are expected to be listed for trading on The Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) under the ticker symbol “HLAHU” beginning January 13, 2021. Each unit consists of one share of the Company’s Class A common stock and one-third of one redeemable warrant.

The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. Although the Company’s efforts to identify a prospective business combination opportunity will not be limited to a particular industry, it intends to identify and consummate an initial business combination that it believes will generate attractive long-term returns for its shareholders. The Company intends to avoid companies in highly cyclical sectors such as upstream and midstream energy, commodities or real estate.

J.P. Morgan and Morgan Stanley are acting as joint book-running managers. The Company has granted the underwriters a 45-day option to purchase up to 3,600,000 additional units at the initial public offering price to cover over-allotments, if any.
