Note 1—Description
of Organization, Business Operations and Basis of Presentation
GO Acquisition Corp.
(the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated in Delaware on June 12, 2020, for the purpose of effecting a merger,
capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses
(the “Business Combination”). Although the Company may pursue targets in any industry, the Company intends to focus its efforts
on travel-related and travel-adjacent businesses with either all or a substantial portion of their activities in North America or Europe.
The Company is an emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with emerging growth companies.
The Company has neither engaged in any operations nor generated revenue to date. The Company is an “emerging growth company,”
as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart
our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”).
As of June 30, 2021,
the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from June 12, 2020 (inception) through June 30, 2021 relates
to the Company’s formation, the initial public offering (“Initial Public Offering”) described below, and, since the
Initial Public Offering, the search for a potential target business. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after
the completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of interest
income on cash and cash equivalents from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering. The Company has selected December 31 as
its fiscal year end.
The Company’s sponsor
is GO Acquisition Founder LLC, a Delaware corporation (the “Sponsor”). The registration statement for the Company’s
Initial Public Offering was declared effective on August 4, 2020. On August 7, 2020, the Company consummated its Initial Public Offering
of 50,000,000 units (the “Units”) at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $500.0 million, and incurring offering
costs of approximately $28.1 million, inclusive of $17.5 million in deferred underwriting commissions (Note 5). The Company granted the
underwriters in the IPO (the “Underwriters”) a 45-day option to purchase up to 7,500,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments,
if any. The Underwriters exercised the over-allotment option in full on September 21, 2020 and purchased an additional 7,500,000 Units
(the “Over-Allotment Units”), generating gross proceeds of $75.0 million (the “Over-Allotment”), and incurred
additional offering costs of approximately $4.1 million in underwriting fees (inclusive of approximately $2.6 million in deferred underwriting
fees).
Simultaneously with the
closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the private placement (“Private Placement”) of 8,000,000 warrants
(each, a “Private Placement Warrant” and collectively, the “Private Placement Warrants”) at a price of $1.50 per
Private Placement Warrant to the Sponsor, generating proceeds of $12.0 million. Simultaneously with the closing of the Over-Allotment
Units, on September 21, 2020, the Company consummated the second closing of the Private Placement, resulting in the purchase of an aggregate
of an additional 1,000,000 Private Placement Warrants by the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $1.5 million (Note 4).
Upon the closing of the
Initial Public Offering, the Over-Allotment and the Private Placement, $575.0 million ($10.00 per Unit) of the net proceeds of the sale
of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and of the Private Placement Warrants in the Private Placement were placed in a trust account
(“Trust Account”) located in the United States at JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company
acting as trustee, and invested only in U.S. “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment
Company Act having a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under
the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations, as determined by the Company, until the earlier
of: (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account as described below.
The Company’s management
has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private
Placement Warrants, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business
Combination. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to complete a Business Combination successfully. The Company must complete
one or more initial Business Combinations having an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the net assets held in the Trust Account
(excluding the amount of the deferred underwriting discounts held in trust) at the time of the agreement to enter into the initial Business
Combination. However, the Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-business combination company owns or acquires
50% or more of the voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to
be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”).

CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Company will provide
the holders of the Company’s outstanding shares of Class A common stock (the “Public Stockholders”), par value $0.0001
per share, sold in the Initial Public Offering (the “Public Shares”) with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their
Public Shares upon the completion of a Business Combination either (i) in connection with a stockholder meeting called to approve the
Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek stockholder approval of a Business
Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion. The Public Stockholders will be entitled
to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then held in the Trust Account (initially anticipated to be $10.00
per Public Share). The per-share amount to be distributed to Public Stockholders who redeem their Public Shares will not be reduced by
the deferred underwriting commissions the Company will pay to the underwriters (as discussed in Note 5). These Public Shares were recorded
at a redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering in accordance with the Financial
Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing
Liabilities from Equity.”
If the Company seeks
stockholder approval of a Business Combination, it will consummate the Business Combination only if a majority of the shares voted are
voted in favor of the Business Combination. The Company will not redeem the Public Shares in an amount that would cause its net tangible
assets to be less than $5,000,001. If a stockholder vote is not required by law and the Company does not decide to hold a stockholder
vote for business or other reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Amended
and Restated Certificate of Incorporation”), conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination. If, however,
stockholder approval of the transaction is required by law, or the Company decides to obtain stockholder approval for business or legal
reasons, the Company will offer to redeem shares in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules and not pursuant
to the tender offer rules. Additionally, each public stockholder may elect to redeem such stockholder’s Public Shares irrespective
of whether such stockholder votes for or against the proposed transaction. If the Company seeks stockholder approval in connection with
a Business Combination, the Sponsor and the Company’s officers and directors have agreed to vote any Founder Shares (as defined
below in Note 4) owned by them and any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering in favor of a Business Combination.
In addition, the Sponsor and the Company’s officers and directors have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to any
Founder Shares and Public Shares owned by them in connection with the completion of a Business Combination.
The Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation provides that a Public Stockholder, together with any affiliate of such stockholder or any other person with
whom such stockholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), will be restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate
of 15% or more of the Public Shares, without the prior consent of the Company.
The Sponsor and the Company’s
officers and directors have agreed not to propose an amendment to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to modify the
substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of the Public Shares if the Company does not complete a Business
Combination within the Combination Period (as defined below) or with respect to any other material provisions relating to stockholders’
rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity, unless the Company provides the Public Stockholders with the opportunity to redeem
their Public Shares in conjunction with any such amendment.
If the Company is unable
to complete a Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering, or August 7, 2022 (as may be extended
by approval of the Company’s stockholders, the “Combination Period”), the Company will (i) cease all operations except
for the purpose of winding up; (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the Public
Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account including interest earned
on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its taxes, if any (less up to $100,000 of interest
to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of the then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish
Public Stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject
to applicable law; and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining stockholders
and the Company’s board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case, to the Company’s obligations under Delaware
law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED
CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Sponsor and the Company’s
officers and directors have agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to the Founder
Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if the Sponsor or the Company’s
officers or directors acquire Public Shares after the Initial Public Offering, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from
the Trust Account with respect to such Public Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period.
The underwriters have agreed to waive their rights to the deferred underwriting commission held in the Trust Account in the event the
Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and, in such event, such amounts will be included with
the other funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the Public Shares. In the event of such distribution,
it is possible that the per share value of the residual assets remaining available for distribution (including Trust Account assets) will
be only $10.00. In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed to be liable to the Company if and to
the extent any claims by a third party (except for the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm) for services rendered
or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has entered into a letter of intent, confidentiality
or other similar agreement or business combination agreement (a “Target”), reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account
to below the lesser of (i) $10.00 per Public Share and (ii) the actual amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date
of the liquidation of the Trust Account, if less than $10.00 per Public Share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, less
taxes payable, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or Target that executed a waiver of any and
all rights to the monies held in the Trust Account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) not will it apply to any claims under the
Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Company will seek to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor
will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers, prospective
target businesses or other entities with which the Company does business, execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title,
interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited
condensed financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Accordingly,
they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP. In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed financial
statements reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair statement of the balances and
results for the period presented. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of
the results that may be expected through December 31, 2021.
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Form 10-K/A filed by
the Company with the SEC on May 25, 2021.
Emerging Growth
Company
As an emerging growth
company, the Company may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public
companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the independent registered
public accounting firm attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive
compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote
on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.
GO ACQUISITION CORP.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED
CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Further, Section 102(b)(1)
of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until
private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class
of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS
Act provides that an emerging growth company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that
apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such an election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such
extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or
private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt
the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company that is
neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company that has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult
or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.
Going Concern
Consideration
At June 30, 2021, the
Company had cash of approximately $966,000 and working capital of approximately $692,000.
The Company’s liquidity
needs since inception had been satisfied through the cash receipt of $25,000 from the Sponsor to purchase the Founder Shares and a loan
of $200,000 pursuant to the Note issued to the Sponsor (Note 4). Subsequent to Initial Public Offering, the Company’s liquidity
needs had been satisfied with the net proceeds from the consummation of the Private Placement not held in the Trust Account. The Note
remains unpaid as of December 31, 2020 and is due on demand. In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business
Combination, the Sponsor may, but is not obligated to, provide the Company Working Capital Loans (see Note 4). As of June 30, 2021 and
December 31, 2020, there were no Working Capital Loans outstanding.
In connection with the
Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15,
“Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” management has determined that
the mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going
concern. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after
August 7, 2022.
Note 2—Summary
of Significant Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial
statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues
and expenses during the reporting period. Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably
possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements,
which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers
all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company had no
cash equivalents as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.
Investments Held
in the Trust Account
The Company’s portfolio
of investments is comprised solely of U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company
Act, with a maturity of 185 days or less, or investments in money market funds that invest in U.S. government securities, or a combination
thereof. The Company’s investments held in the Trust Account are classified as trading securities. Trading securities are presented
on the balance sheet at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value of these
securities is included in net gain on investments held in the Trust Account in the accompanying unaudited condensed statement of operations.
The estimated fair values of investments held in the Trust Account are determined using available market information.

Concentration of
Credit Risk
Financial instruments
that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution, which, at times,
may exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Corporation coverage limit of $250,000. The Company has not experienced losses on these accounts
and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts.
Fair Value of Financial
Instruments
Fair value is defined
as the price that would be received for sale of an asset or paid for transfer of a liability, in an orderly transaction between market
participants at the measurement date. U.S. GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring
fair value.
The hierarchy gives the
highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest
priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). These tiers include:
|
●
|
Level 1, defined as observable
inputs such as quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets;
|
|
●
|
Level 2, defined as inputs other
than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments
in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and
|
|
●
|
Level 3, defined as unobservable
inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived
from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.
|
In some circumstances,
the inputs used to measure fair value might be categorized within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In those instances, the
fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant
to the fair value measurement.
As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the
carrying values of cash, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, accrued expenses, franchise tax payable, income tax payable and note payable
– related party approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of the instruments. The Company’s investments held
in Trust Account are comprised of investments in U.S. Treasury securities with an original maturity of 185 days or less or investments
in a money market funds that comprise only U.S. treasury securities and are recognized at fair value. The fair value of investments held
in Trust Account is determined using quoted prices in active markets.
Offering Costs Associated with the Initial
Public Offering
Offering costs consisted
of legal, accounting, underwriting fees and other costs incurred that were directly related to the Initial Public Offering. Offering costs
are allocated to the separable financial instruments issued in the Initial Public Offering based on a relative fair value basis, compared
to total proceeds received. Offering costs associated with derivative warrant liabilities are expensed as incurred, presented as non-operating
expenses in the statement of operations. Offering costs associated with the Public Shares were charged to stockholders’ equity upon
the completion of the Initial Public Offering.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED
CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Derivative warrant
liabilities
The Company does not
use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. The Company evaluates all of its financial
instruments, including issued stock purchase warrants, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify
as embedded derivatives, pursuant to ASC 480 and ASC 815-15. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments
should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period.
The 19,166,667 warrants
issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering (the “Public Warrants”) and the 9,000,000 Private Placement Warrants
are recognized as derivative liabilities in accordance with ASC 815-40. Accordingly, the Company recognizes the warrant instruments as
liabilities at fair value and adjusts the instruments to fair value at each reporting period. The liabilities are subject to re-measurement
at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in the Company’s statement of operations.
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 subsequently been measured based on the listed market price of such warrants.
Class A Common
Stock Subject to Possible Redemption
The Company accounts for its Class A common stock
subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.”
Shares of Class A common stock subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as liability instruments and are measured at fair
value. Shares of conditionally redeemable Class A common stock (including Class A common stock that feature redemption rights that are
either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s
control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, shares of Class A common stock are classified as stockholders’
equity. The Company’s Class A common stock features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s
control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, 51,991,010 and
50,862,592 shares of Class A common stock subject to possible redemption are presented as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’
equity section of the Company’s balance sheet.
Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share
The Company’s condensed statements of operations
include a presentation of net income (loss) per share for Class A common stock subject to possible redemption in a manner similar to the
two-class method of net income (loss) per common stock. Net income (loss) per common stock, basic and diluted, for Class A common stock
is calculated by dividing the interest income earned on the Trust Account, less interest available to be withdrawn for the payment of
taxes, by the weighted average number of Class A common stock outstanding for the periods. Net income (loss) per common stock, basic and
diluted, for Class B common stock is calculated by dividing the net income (loss), adjusted for income attributable to Class A common
stock, by the weighted average number of Class B common stock outstanding for the periods. Class B common stock include the Founder Shares
as these common stocks do not have any redemption features and do not participate in the income earned on the Trust Account.
The Company has not considered the effect of the
warrants sold in the Public Offering (including the consummation of the over-allotment) and Private Placement Warrants to purchase 28,166,667
shares of the Company’s Class A common stock in the calculation of diluted income (loss) per share, since the exercise of the warrants
and the conversion of the rights into shares of common stock is contingent upon the occurrence of future events.

Income Taxes
The Company complies
with the accounting and reporting requirements of Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standard Codification, or FASB ASC,
740, “Income Taxes,” which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial
statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to
be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period
that included the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected
to be realized. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, a full valuation allowance was recorded of approximately $55,000 and $44,000,
respectively.
There were no unrecognized
tax benefits as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. No amounts were accrued for the payment of interest and penalties at June 30,
2021 and December 31, 2020. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals
or material deviation from its position. The Company is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception.
FASB ASC 740 prescribes
a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or
expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained
upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as
income tax expense.
Recent Adopted
Accounting Standards
In August 2020, the FASB
issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts
in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity,
which simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current GAAP. The ASU also
removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity-linked contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception and
it also simplifies the diluted earnings per share calculation in certain areas. The Company early adopted the ASU on January 1, 2021.
Adoption of the ASU did not impact the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

The Company’s management
does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards updates, if currently adopted, would have
a material effect on the accompanying financial statement.
Note 3—Initial
Public Offering
On August 7, 2020, the
Company consummated its Initial Public Offering of 50,000,000 Units at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $500.0 million. The
underwriters exercised the over-allotment option in full and on September 21, 2020 purchased an additional 7,500,000 Over-Allotment Units,
generating additional gross proceeds of $75.0 million. The Company incurred offering costs of approximately $32.2 million, including approximately
$20.1 million in deferred underwriting commissions.
Each Unit consisted of
one share of Class A common stock and one-third of one redeemable warrant (each, a “Public Warrant”). Each whole Public Warrant
entitles the holder to purchase one share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment (see Note 6).
Note 4—Related
Party Transactions
Founder Shares
In June 2020, the Sponsor
purchased 14,375,000 shares of the Company’s Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Founder Shares”),
for an aggregate price of $25,000. In July 2020, the Sponsor transferred 25,000 Founder Shares to each of the Company’s independent
directors at their original purchase price.
The holders of the Founder
Shares (the “Initial Stockholders”) agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of the Founder
Shares until the earlier to occur of: (a) one year after the completion of the initial Business Combination and (b) upon completion of
the initial Business Combination, (x) if the last reported sale price of the Class A common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as
adjusted for stock splits, stock capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any
30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the initial Business Combination or (y) the date on which the Company completes
a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange or other similar transaction after the initial Business Combination that results in all
of the stockholders having the right to exchange their Class A common stock for cash, securities or other property.
Private Placement
Warrants
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial
Public Offering and the Over-Allotment, on August 7, 2020 and September 21, 2020, respectively, the Company consummated the Private Placement
of 9,000,000 Private Placement Warrants in the aggregate at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant to the Sponsor, generating
proceeds of $13.5 million.
Each whole Private Placement Warrant is exercisable
for one whole share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement
Warrants to the Sponsor was added to the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account. If the Company does not
complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless. The Private Placement
Warrants will be non-redeemable for cash and exercisable on a cashless basis so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted
transferees.
The Sponsor and the Company’s officers and
directors agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Private Placement Warrants until 30 days
after the completion of the initial Business Combination.

Related Party Loans
On June 22, 2020, the Sponsor agreed to loan the
Company an aggregate of up to $300,000 to cover expenses related to the Initial Public Offering pursuant to a promissory note (the “Note”).
This loan was non-interest bearing and payable upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31,
2020, the balance of the loan was $200,000, and the Note is due on demand. This facility is no longer available to be withdrawn.
In addition, in order to finance transaction costs
in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company’s officers and
directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). If the Company
completes a Business Combination, the Company would repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released
to the Company. Otherwise, the Working Capital Loans would be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. In the event that
a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital
Loans but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. Except for the foregoing, the terms
of such Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. The Working
Capital Loans would either be repaid upon consummation of a Business Combination or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $1.5 million
of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into warrants of the post Business Combination entity at a price of $1.50 per warrant.
The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had no borrowings
under the Working Capital Loans.
The Sponsor, officers and directors, or any of
their respective affiliates will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on the Company’s
behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable Business Combinations. The Company’s
audit committee will review on a quarterly basis all payments that were made to the Sponsor, officers or directors, or their affiliates.
Note 5—Commitments
& Contingencies
Registration Rights
The holders of Founder Shares, Private Placement
Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans, if any (and any shares of Class A common stock issuable
upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans and upon
conversion of the Founder Shares), are entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement. The holders of these
securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company register such securities. In addition,
the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the
completion of the initial Business Combination. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such
registration statements.
Underwriting Agreement
The Company granted the underwriters a 45-day
option from the final prospectus relating to the Initial Public Offering to purchase up to 7,500,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments,
if any, at the Initial Public Offering price less the underwriting discounts and commissions. The underwriters fully exercised their over-allotment
option on September 21, 2020.
The underwriters were entitled to an underwriting
discount of $0.20 per Unit, or $11.5 million in the aggregate, paid upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering and Over-Allotment.
In addition, the underwriters will be entitled to a deferred fee of $0.35 per Unit, or $20.1 million in the aggregate. The deferred fee
will become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completes a Business
Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

Note 6—Derivative
Warrant Liabilities
As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the
Company had 19,166,667 and 9,000,000 Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants, respectively, outstanding.
Public Warrants may only be exercised for a whole
number of shares. No fractional Public Warrants will be issued upon separation of the Units and only whole Public Warrants will trade.
The Public Warrants will become exercisable on the later of (a) 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination or (b) 12 months
from the closing of the Initial Public Offering; provided in each case that the Company has an effective registration statement under
the Securities Act covering the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants and a current prospectus
relating to them is available (or the Company permits holders to exercise their Public Warrants on a cashless basis and such cashless
exercise is exempt from registration under the Securities Act). The Company has agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later
than 20 business days after the closing of the initial Business Combination, it will use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with
the SEC and have an effective registration statement covering the shares of the Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants
and to maintain a current prospectus relating to those shares of the Class A common stock until the warrants expire or are redeemed. If
a registration statement covering the shares of the Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective by the
60th business day after the closing of the initial Business Combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective
registration statement and during any period when the Company will have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise
warrants on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act or another exemption.
The warrants have an exercise price of $11.50
per share, subject to adjustments, and will expire five years after the completion of a Business Combination or earlier upon redemption
or liquidation. In addition, if (x) the Company issues additional shares of the Class A common stock or equity-linked securities for capital
raising purposes in connection with the closing of the initial Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less
than $9.20 per share of the Class A common stock (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by the
board of directors and, in the case of any such issuance to the Sponsor or its affiliates, without taking into account any Founder Shares
held by the Initial Stockholders or such affiliates, as applicable, prior to such issuance) (the “Newly Issued Price”), (y)
the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent more than 60% of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available
for the funding of the initial Business Combination on the date of the completion of the initial Business Combination (net of redemptions),
and (z) the volume-weighted average trading price of the Class A common stock during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading
day prior to the day on which the Company completes its initial Business Combination (such price, the “Market Value”) is below
$9.20 per share, the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the higher of the Market
Value and the Newly Issued Price, and the $10.00 and $18.00 per share redemption trigger prices described below under “Redemption
of warrants when the price per share of Class A common stock equals or exceeds $18.00” and “Redemption of warrants when the
price per share of Class A common stock equals or exceeds $10.00” will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 100% and
180% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, respectively.
The Private Placement Warrants are identical to
the Public Warrants, except that the Private Placement Warrants and the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Private
Placement Warrants will not be transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination, subject
to certain limited exceptions. Additionally, the Private Placement Warrants will be non-redeemable so long as they are held by the Sponsor
or its permitted transferees. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by someone other than the Sponsor or its permitted transferees,
the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants.

Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company
may redeem the outstanding warrants for cash (except as described herein with respect to the Private Placement Warrants):
|
●
|
in whole and not in part;
|
|
●
|
at a price of $0.01 per warrant;

if, and only if, the last reported
sale price of the Class A common stock for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to
the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders (the “Reference Value”) equals or exceeds
$18.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like).

Redemption of warrants when the price per share
of Class A common stock equals or exceeds $10.00:
Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company
may redeem the outstanding warrants (except as described herein with respect to the Private Placement Warrants):
|
●
|
in whole and not in part;
|
|
●
|
at $0.10 per warrant upon a minimum
of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption, provided that holders will be able to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis
prior to redemption and receive that number of shares determined by reference to an agreed table based on the redemption date and the
“fair market value” of the Class A common stock;
|
|
●
|
if, and only if, the Reference
Value equals or exceeds $10.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, rights issuances, subdivisions, reorganizations,
recapitalizations and the like); and
|
|
●
|
if the Reference Value is less
than $18.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, rights issuances, subdivisions, reorganizations, recapitalizations
and the like), the Private Placement Warrants must also concurrently be called for redemption on the same terms as the outstanding Public
Warrants, as described above.
|
The “fair market value” of the Class
A common stock shall mean the volume-weighted average price of the Class A common stock for the ten trading days immediately following
the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of warrants. The Company will provide its warrant holders with the final
fair market value no later than one business day after the 10-day trading period described above ends. In no event will the warrants be
exercisable in connection with this redemption feature for more than 0.361 shares of the Class A common stock per warrant (subject to
adjustment).
If the Company calls the Public Warrants for redemption,
management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise the Public Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis,”
as described in the warrant agreement.
In no event will the Company be required to net
cash settle any warrant. If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and the Company liquidates
the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of warrants will not receive any of such funds with respect to their warrants, nor will they
receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with the respect to such warrants. Accordingly,
the warrants may expire worthless.

Transfers to/from Levels
1, 2, and 3 are recognized at the beginning of the reporting period. There was no transfer between levels during the six months ended
June 30, 2021.
Level 1 assets and liabilities
include investments in mutual funds invested in government securities and Public Warrants. The Company uses inputs such as actual trade
data, benchmark yields, quoted market prices from dealers or brokers, and other similar sources to determine the fair value of its investments.
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 at 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 September
2020. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recognized a gain to the statement of operations resulting from a decrease
in the fair value of liabilities of $11.6 million presented as change in fair value of derivative warrant liabilities on the
accompanying unaudited condensed statement of operations.
The estimated fair value
of the Private Placement Warrants are 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 estimates the volatility of its
common stock warrants based on implied volatility from the Company’s traded warrants and from historical volatility of select peer
company’s common stock 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.
