The following table presents information about the Company’s financial assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2020 by level within the fair value hierarchy:

December 31, 2020

Transfers to/from Levels 1, 2, and 3 are recognized at the end of the reporting period. The Company transferred the public warrants from Level 3 to Level 1 during the year ended December 31, 2021. There were no transfers between levels for the period from August 6, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2020.

The fair value of the Public Warrants issued in connection with the Public Offering and Private Placement Warrants were initially measured at fair value using a Monte Carlo simulation model and subsequently, the fair value of the Private Placement Warrants have been estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model each measurement date. The fair value of Public Warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering have been measured based on the listed market price of such warrants, a Level 1 measurement, since January 25, 2021. For the year ended December 31, 2021 and the period ended December 31, 2020, the Company recognized a charge to the statement of operations resulting from a change in the fair value of liabilities of approximately $12.2 million and $(3.5) million presented as change in fair value of derivative warrant liabilities on the accompanying statement of operations.

The estimated fair value of the Private Placement Warrants, and the Public Warrants prior to being separately listed and traded, was determined using Level 3 inputs. Inherent in a Monte Carlo simulation are assumptions related to expected stock-price volatility, expected life, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. The Company continues to use a Monte Carlo simulation to value the Private Placement Warrants. The Company estimates the volatility of its Class A common stock based on historical volatility of select peer companies that matches the expected remaining life of the warrants. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury zero-coupon yield curve on the grant date for a maturity similar to the expected remaining life of the warrants. The expected life of the warrants is assumed to be equivalent to their remaining contractual term. The dividend rate is based on the historical rate, which the Company anticipates remaining at zero.

The following table provides quantitative information regarding Level 3 fair value measurements inputs at their measurement dates:

The change in the fair value of the Level 3 derivative warrant liabilities from inception through the year ended December 31, 2021 is summarized as follows:
