Note 7 — Fair Value Measurements

The following tables present information about the Company’s financial assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 by level within the fair value hierarchy:

September 30, 2020


Description	Quoted Prices in Active Markets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Other Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)

December 31, 2019


Description	Quoted Prices in Active Markets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Other Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)
Assets:
Investments held in Trust Account	$	292,054,158	$	—	$	—

Liabilities:
Warrants	$	—	$	18,817,500	$	—

The Company has determined that the Warrants are subject to treatment as a liability. As the transfer of the Private Placement Warrants to anyone other than the purchasers or their permitted transferees would result in the Private Placement Warrants having substantially the same terms as the Public Warrants issued in the Offering. The Company has determined that the fair value of each Warrant issued as part of the Private Placement Warrants is the same as that of a Warrant issued in the Offering, with an insignificant adjustment for short-term marketability restrictions. Accordingly, the Warrants are classified as Level 2 financial instruments.
