Each unit consists of one share of Class A common stock and one-half of one redeemable warrant, with each whole warrant exercisable to purchase one share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share.

Argus' business purpose is to effect a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses.

Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and Morgan Stanley are acting as the joint book running managers for the offering. Argus has granted the underwriters a 45-day option to purchase up to 3,975,000 units at the initial public offering price to cover over-allotments, if any.
