The estimated fair value of the warrants is determined using Level 3 inputs. Inherent in a Monte-Carlo simulation model are assumptions related to expected stock-price volatility (pre-merger and post-merger), expected term, dividend yield and risk-free interest rate. The Company estimates the volatility of its common stock based on management’s understanding of the volatility associated with instruments of other similar entities. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury Constant Maturity similar to the expected remaining life of the warrants. The expected life of the warrants is simulated based on management assumptions regarding the timing and likelihood of completing a business combination. The dividend rate is based on the historical rate, which the Company anticipates to remain at zero. Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding warrants when the price per share of common stock equals or exceeds $18.00. The assumptions used in calculating the estimated fair values at the end of the reporting period represent the Company’s best estimate. However, inherent uncertainties are involved. If factors or assumptions change, the estimated fair values could be materially different.

The key inputs into the Monte Carlo simulation model for the warrants were as follows at initial measurement:


Input	December 11, 2020 (Initial Measurement)
Expected term (years)		5.90
Expected volatility		24.2	%
Risk-free interest rate		0.49	%
Fair value of the common stock price	$	9.34

The key inputs into the Monte Carlo simulation model for the warrants were as follows at December 31, 2020:


Input	December 31, 2020
Expected term (years)		5.85
Expected volatility		24.2	%
Risk-free interest rate		0.48	%
Fair value of the common stock price	$	9.63

The following table sets forth a summary of the changes in the fair value of the warrant liability for the period from August 12, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2020:


	Warrant Liability
Fair value as of August 12, 2020	$	—
Initial fair value of warrant liability upon issuance at IPO		30,858,552
Revaluation of warrant liability included in other expense within the statement of operations for the period from August 12, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2020		2,948,911

Fair value as of December 31, 2020	$	33,807,463
