BOWX ACQUISITION CORP.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1—Description of Organization and

Business Operations

Organization and General

BowX Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated as a Delaware corporation on May 19, 2020. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or other similar business combination (“Business Combination”) with one or more operating businesses or entities that it has not yet selected. The Company is not limited to a particular industry or sector for purposes of consummating a Business Combination. 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 May 19, 2020 (inception) through June 30, 2021 had been related to the Company’s formation and the initial public offering (“Initial Public Offering”) described below, and since the offering, the search for a prospective Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenue until after the completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company generates

non-operating

income in the form of interest income on investments held in the Trust Account (as defined below).

Sponsor and Financing

The Company’s sponsor is BowX Sponsor, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company of which Vivek Ranadivé, the Company’s Chairman of the Board and

Co-Chief

Executive Officer, and Murray Rode, the Company’s

Co-Chief

Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, are the managing members (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 42,000,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the Class A common stock included in the Units being offered, the “Public Shares”) at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $420.0 million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $23.6 million, inclusive of $14.7 million in deferred underwriting commissions (Note 5). On August 10, 2020, the underwriter exercised the over-allotment option to purchase an additional of 6,300,000 Units at the Initial Public Offering price at $10.00 per Unit and the Company consummated the sale of such Units on August 13, 2020, generating additional gross proceeds of $63.0 million, and incurring additional offering costs of approximately $3.5 million, inclusive of approximately $2.2 million in deferred underwriting commissions.

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the private placement (“Private Placement”) of 6,933,333 warrants (each, a “Private Placement Warrant” and collectively, the “Private Placement Warrants”) at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant in a private placement to certain of the Company’s initial stockholders and certain funds and accounts managed by subsidiaries of BlackRock, Inc (the “Private Placement Warrants Purchasers”), generating gross proceeds of $10.4 million (Note 4), and incurring offering costs of approximately $8,000. In connection with the consummation of the sale of additional Units pursuant to the underwriter’s over-allotment option on August 13, 2020, the Company sold an additional 840,000 Private Placement Warrants to the Private Placement Warrants Purchasers, generating additional gross proceeds of approximately $1.3 million.

Trust Account

Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement (including the exercise of the over-allotment option), $483.0 million ($10.00 per Unit) of the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and Private Placement Warrants in the Private Placement were placed in a trust account (“Trust Account”) located in the United States with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee, and held as cash or invested only in 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 in money market funds meeting certain conditions 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.

Pursuant to stock exchange listing rules, the Company must complete an initial Business Combination with one or more target businesses that together have an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the assets held in the Trust Account (excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on the income earned on the Trust Account) 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-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target business 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”).

Table of Contents

BOWX ACQUISITION CORP.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that, other than the withdrawal of interest earned on the funds that may be released to the Company to pay taxes, none of the funds held in Trust Account will be released until the earliest of: (i) the completion of the Business Combination; (ii) the redemption of any of Public Shares to its holders (the “Public Stockholders”) properly tendered in connection with a stockholder vote to amend certain provisions of the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation prior to an initial Business Combination and (iii) the redemption of 100% of the Public Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period (as defined below).

Initial Business Combination

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering, although substantially all of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering are intended to be generally applied toward completing a Business Combination. Furthermore, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully complete a Business Combination.

In connection with the proposed transaction with WeWork described below, the Company will seek stockholder approval of the Business Combination at a meeting called for such purpose in connection with which Public Stockholders may seek to redeem their Public Shares, regardless of whether they vote for or against the Business Combination or do not vote at all, for cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the initial Business Combination, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its taxes. The Company will complete its Business Combination only if a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination. However, in no event will the Company redeem its Public Shares in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets to be less

than $5,000,001 either immediately prior to or upon consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination. In such case, the Company would not proceed with the redemption of its Public Shares and the related Business Combination, and instead may search for an alternate Business Combination.

stockholder will have the right to redeem such holder’s Public Shares for an amount in cash equal to such holder’s pro rata share of the aggregate amount on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the initial Business Combination, including interest not previously released to the Company to pay its franchise and income taxes. As a result, such common stock has been recorded at redemption amount and classified as temporary equity, in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”), Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” The amount in the Trust Account was initially $10.00 per Public Share.

The Company has 24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering, or August 7, 2022, to complete its initial Business Combination (the “Combination Period”). If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within this period of time (and stockholders do not approve an amendment to the amended and restated certificate of incorporation to extend this date), it 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 (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Public Stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any); 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, dissolve and liquidate, subject in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) to the Company’s obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. The Company’s Sponsor and the other holders of the Founder Shares (as defined below), excluding funds and accounts managed by subsidiaries of BlackRock, Inc (the “initial stockholders”), have entered into agreements with the Company, pursuant to which they have waived their rights to participate in any redemption with respect to their Founder Shares in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the required time period; provided, however, if the initial stockholders or any of the Company’s officers, directors or affiliates acquire Public Shares in or after the Initial Public Offering, they will be entitled to a pro rata share of the Trust Account upon the Company’s redemption or liquidation in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the required time period. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value in the Trust Account will be less than the price per Unit sold in the Initial Public Offering.

Proposed Business Combination

On March 25, 2021, the Company, BowX Merger Subsidiary Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”) and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and WeWork Inc., a Delaware corporation (“WeWork”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other transactions, on the terms and conditions set forth therein, Merger Sub is to merge with and into WeWork (the “First Merger”), with WeWork surviving the First Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (WeWork, in its capacity as the surviving corporation of the First Merger, is sometimes referred to as the “Surviving Corporation”); and as promptly as practicable and as part of the same overall transaction as the First Merger, such Surviving Corporation will be merged with and into BowX Merger Subsidiary II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Merger Sub II”) and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Second Merger” and, together with the First Merger, the “Mergers” and, collectively with the other transactions described in the Merger Agreement, the “Business Combination”), with Merger Sub II being the surviving entity of the Second Merger (Merger Sub II, in its capacity as the surviving entity of the Second Merger, is sometimes referred to herein as the “Surviving Entity”). In connection with the Closing (as defined herein), BowX intends to change its name to WeWork Inc. (such post-Closing entity, “New WeWork”).

As a result of and upon the Closing, among other things, all outstanding shares of WeWork capital stock as of the First Merger (other than shares of WeWork Class C common stock, treasury shares, the dissenting shares and shares of WeWork capital stock reserved in respect of WeWork awards) will be cancelled in exchange for the right to receive an aggregate of 655,300,000 shares of New WeWork Class A common stock (at a deemed value of $10.00 per share) representing a

pre-transaction

equity value of WeWork of approximately $7.9 billion (the “Aggregate Merger Consideration”). An additional 80,000,000 shares of New WeWork Class A common stock will be purchased (at a price of $10.00 per share) at the Closing by certain third-party investors (collectively, the “PIPE Investors”), for a total aggregate purchase price of $800,000,000 (the “PIPE Investment”). The proceeds of the PIPE Investment, together with the amounts remaining in the Company’s trust account will be retained by New WeWork following the Closing.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates, among other things, the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As of June 30, 2021, the Company had approximately $506,000 of cash in its operating account and approximately $2.9 million of working capital deficit.

Through June 30, 2021, the Company’s liquidity needs were satisfied through a payment of $25,000 from the Company’s Chairman and

Co-Chief

Executive Officer to cover for certain offering costs in exchange for the issuance of the Founder Shares, the loan under the Note of approximately $110,000 (see Note 4) to the Company to cover for offering costs in connection with the Initial Public Offering. Subsequent to the consummation of the Initial Public Offering on August 7, 2020

, the liquidity needs have been satisfied through the remaining balance of the Note and advancement of funds of approximately $

45,000

from a related party, for total outstanding balance of Note and advances of approximately $

195,000

, and the net proceeds from the consummation of the Private Placement not held in the Trust Account. The Company fully repaid the Note and advances on August 7, 2020. In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Company’s officers, directors and initial stockholders may, but are not obligated to, provide the Company Working Capital Loans (see Note 4). To date, there were no amounts outstanding under any Working Capital Loans.

Based on the foregoing, management believes that the Company will have sufficient working capital and borrowing capacity to meet its needs through the earlier of the consummation of a Business Combination or one year from this filing. Over this time period, the Company will be using these funds for paying existing accounts payable, identifying and evaluating prospective initial Business Combination candidates, performing due diligence on prospective target businesses, paying for travel expenditures, selecting the target business to merge with or acquire, and structuring, negotiating and consummating the Business Combination.

The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company include its wholly-owned subsidiary in connection with the planned merger. All inter-company accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

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 auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, 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.

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 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated 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 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. 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. There were no cash equivalents at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution which, at times, may exceed the Federal depository insurance coverage of $250,000, and investments held in Trust Account. The Company has not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts. The Company’s investments held in the Trust Account is 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 money market funds.

Investments Held in the Trust Account

The Company’s portfolio of investments held in the Trust Account is comprised 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 and generally have a readily determinable fair value, or a combination thereof. When the Company’s investments held in the Trust Account are comprised of U.S. government securities, the investments are classified as trading securities. When the Company’s investments held in the Trust Account are comprised of money market funds, the investments are recognized at fair value. Trading securities and investments in money market funds are presented on the balance sheets at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value of these securities are included in net gain from investments held in Trust Account in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. The estimated fair values of investments held in the Trust Account are determined using available market information.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities which qualify as financial instruments under the FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements,” approximate the carrying amounts represented in the condensed balance sheets.

Fair Value Measurement

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. 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 consist of:

•

Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) 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.

Offering Costs Associated with Initial Public Offering

Offering costs consisted of legal, accounting, underwriting fees and other costs incurred through the Initial Public Offering 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 warrant liabilities were expensed as incurred, presented as

non-operating

expenses in the condensed statements of operations. Offering costs associated with the Class A common stock and Public Warrants were charged to stockholders’ equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering. The Company classifies deferred underwriting commissions as

non-current

liabilities as their liquidation is not reasonably expected to require the use of current assets or require the creation of current liabilities.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED 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 shares purchase warrants, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives, pursuant to ASC 480 and ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”). 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 Company accounts for its warrants issued in connection with the Private Placement as derivative warrant liabilities in accordance with ASC 815. 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 unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. The fair value of warrants issued by the Company in connection with the Private Placement has been estimated by reference to the Public Warrant trading prices at each measurement date after the units split. The determination of the fair value of the warrant liability may be subject to change as more current information becomes available and accordingly the actual results could differ significantly. Derivative warrant liabilities are classified as

non-current

liabilities as their liquidation is not reasonably expected to require the use of current assets or require the creation of current liabilities.

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, 43,231,098 and 44,911,184 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 unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Net Income (Loss) per Share of Common Stock

The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations include a presentation of income (loss) per share of Class A common stock subject to redemption in a manner similar to the

two-class

method of income (loss) per share. Net income per share of Class A common stock, basic and diluted, is calculated by dividing the investment income earned on the Trust Account, net of applicable franchise taxes, by the weighted average number of Class A common stock outstanding for the periods. Net loss per shares of Class B common stock, basic and diluted, is calculated by dividing the net loss, less income attributable to Class A common stock, by the weighted average number of Class B common stock outstanding for the periods.

The calculation of diluted net income (loss) per share of common stock does not consider the effect of the warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering and Private Placement since the inclusion of such warrants would be anti-dilutive.

The following table reflects the calculation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share of common stock:

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.

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 Accounting Pronouncements

The Company’s management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Note 3—Initial Public Offering

Public Units

In August 2020, the Company sold 48,300,000 Units, including 6,300,000 over-allotment Units at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $483.0 million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $27.1 million, inclusive of $16.9 million in deferred underwriting commissions. Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement Warrants in the Private Placement (including the exercise of the over-allotment option), $483.0 million ($10.00 per Unit) of the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement were placed in the Trust Account.

Each Unit consists of one of the Company’s shares of Class A common stock, $0.0001 par value, and

one-third

of one redeemable warrant (the “Public Warrants” and, collectively with the Private Placement Warrants, the “Warrants”). Each whole Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share. The exercise price and number of shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a stock dividend, or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation.

Note 4—Related Party Transitions

Founder Shares

On May 26, 2020, the Company’s Chairman and

Co-Chief

Executive Officer paid for certain offering costs for an aggregate price of $25,000 in exchange for issuance of 10,062,500 shares of Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Founder Shares”). In July 2020, the Company’s Chairman and

Co-Chief

Executive Officer transferred certain Founder Shares to the Company’s directors and officers as well as to certain third parties. On August 4, 2020, the Company effected a stock dividend of 0.2 shares of Class B common stock for each share of Class B common stock outstanding, resulting in an aggregate of 12,075,000 Founder Shares outstanding. All shares and associated amounts have been retroactively restated to reflect the share dividend. Of the 12,075,000 Founder Shares, up to 1,575,000 Founder Shares are subject to forfeiture to the extent that the over-allotment option is not exercised in full by the underwriter so that the Founder Shares will represent 20.0% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares after the Initial Public Offering. The underwriter fully exercised the over-allotment option on August 10, 2020 and the Company consummated the sale of such Units on August 13, 2020; thus, these 1,575,000 Founder Shares were no longer subject to forfeiture.

The initial stockholders have 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) subsequent to 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 dividends, 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, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of the Company’s stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property.

Private Placement Warrants

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Private Placement Warrants Purchasers purchased an aggregate of 6,933,333 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrants, generating gross proceeds of $10.4 million in the Private Placement, and incurring offering costs of approximately $8,000. In connection with the sale of Units pursuant to the over-allotment option on August 13, 2020, the Company sold an additional 840,000 Private Placement Warrants to the Private Placement Warrants Purchasers, generating additional gross proceeds of approximately $1.3 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, subject to adjustment. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants was added to the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering to be 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 (subject to certain exceptions) and exercisable on a cashless basis so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees.

The Private Placement Warrants (and the 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 the initial Business Combination (subject to certain exceptions).

Related Party Loans

On May 26, 2020, the Company’s Chairman and

Co-Chief

Executive Officer agreed to loan the Company up to an aggregate of $150,000 pursuant to an unsecured promissory note (the “Note”) to cover expenses related to the Initial Public Offering. This loan was payable without interest upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering. The Company borrowed approximately $150,000 under the Note and received additional advances of approximately $45,000 advancement of funds from such officer, for a total outstanding loan of approximately $195,000. The Company fully repaid the Note and the advances to such officer on August 7, 2020.

Working Capital Loans

In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial Business Combination, the initial stockholders, officers and directors and their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (the “Working Capital Loans”). 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 at the option of the lender. Such warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. Except for the foregoing, the terms of such loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans to date. To date, the Company had no borrowings under the Working Capital Loans.

Note 5—Commitments and Contingencies

Registration Rights

The initial stockholders and holders of the Private Placement Warrants are entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement. The initial stockholders and holders of the Private Placement Warrants will be entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form registration demands, that the Company register such securities for sale under the Securities Act. In addition, these holders will have “piggy-back” registration rights to include their securities in other registration statements filed by the Company. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Underwriting Agreement

Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, as described in Note 3, $0.35 per unit, or $16.9 million in the aggregate, including the over-allotment fees, will be payable to the underwriter for deferred underwriting commissions. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriter 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—Warrants

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 and (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 issuance of the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants and a current prospectus relating to them is available and such shares are registered, qualified or exempt from registration under the securities, or blue sky, laws of the state of residence of the holder (or the Company permits holders to exercise their Public Warrants on a cashless basis under certain circumstances). The Company has agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15 business days after the closing of the initial Business Combination, the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to file, and within 60 business days following the initial Business Combination to have declared effective, a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the issuance of the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement and a current prospectus relating to those shares of Class A common stock until the Warrants expire or are redeemed; provided that, if the Class A common stock is at the time of any exercise of a Warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that it satisfies the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, the Company may, at its option, require holders of Public Warrants who exercise their Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event the Company so elects, it will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, but it will be required to use its best efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available.

The Warrants will have an exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment, 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 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 (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, rights issuances, subdivisions, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by the Company’s board of directors, and in the case of any such issuance to the Company’s initial stockholders, officers, directors or their affiliates, without taking into account any Founder Shares held by them 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 consummation of the initial Business Combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of the Company’s shares of Class A common stock during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which the Company consummates its initial Business Combination (such price, the “Market Value”) is below $9.20 per share, the exercise price of each Warrant will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) such that the effective exercise price per full share will be equal to 115% of the higher of (i) the Market Value and (ii) the Newly Issued Price, and the $18.00

per-share

redemption trigger price described below will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to

180

% of the higher of (i) the Market Value and (ii) the Newly Issued Price.

The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants, except that (1) 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, (2) the Private Placement Warrants will be

non-redeemable

(subject to certain exceptions) and exercisable on a cashless basis so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees and (3) the initial purchasers and their permitted transferees will also have certain registration rights related to the private placement warrants (including the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by someone other than the initial purchasers or their 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 (except for the Private Placement Warrants):

•

in whole and not in part;

•

at a price of $0.01 per Warrant;

•

upon a minimum of

30 days

’ prior written notice of redemption; and

•

if, and only if, the last reported sale price of the Class A common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within a

30-trading

day period commencing once the Warrants become exercisable and ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the Warrant holders.

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.

Commencing ninety days after the Warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding 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 of Class A common stock to be determined by reference to an agreed table based on the redemption date and the “fair market value” of the Company’s Class A common stock;

•

if, and only if, the last reported sale price of the Company’s Class A common stock equals or exceeds $10.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) on the trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the Warrant holders;

•

if, and only if, the Private Placement Warrants are also concurrently called for redemption on the same terms as the outstanding Public Warrants, as described above; and

•

if, and only if, there is an effective registration statement covering the issuance of the shares of Class A common stock (or a security other than the Class A common stock into which the Class A common stock has been converted or exchanged for in the event the Company is not the surviving company in the initial Business Combination) issuable upon exercise of the Warrants and a current prospectus relating thereto available throughout the

30-day

period after written notice of redemption is given.

The “fair market value” of the Class A common stock for this purpose shall mean the average last reported sale price of the Class A common stock for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of Warrants.

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.

The Public Warrants are accounted for as equity and the Private Placement warrants are accounted for as liabilities on the balance sheet.

At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there were 48,300,000 shares of Class A common stock issued or outstanding. Of the outstanding shares of Class A common stock, 43,231,098 and 44,911,184 were subject to possible redemption at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, and therefore classified outside of permanent equity.

Class

B Common Stock

—The Company is authorized to issue 12,500,000 shares of Class B common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Holders of the Company’s Class B common stock are entitled to one vote for each share. On August 4, 2020, the Company effected a stock dividend of 0.2 shares of Class B common stock for each share of Class B common stock outstanding. All shares and associated amounts have been retroactively restated to reflect the share dividend including up to 1,575,000 which were subject to forfeiture to the Company to the extent that the underwriter’s over-allotment option is not exercised in full or in part, so that the shares of Class B common stock will represent 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock after the Initial Public Offering. Accordingly, as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, 12,075,000 shares of Class B common stock wer

issued and outstanding.

The shares of Class B common stock will automatically convert into shares of Class A common stock at the time of the initial Business Combination, or earlier at the option of the holder, on a

one-for-one

basis (subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like, and subject to further adjustment as described herein). In the case that additional shares of Class A common stock, or equity-linked securities, are issued or deemed issued in excess of the amounts issued in the Initial Public Offering and related to the closing of the initial Business Combination (including pursuant to a specified future issuance), the ratio at which shares of Class B common stock shall convert into shares of Class A common stock will be adjusted (unless the holders of a majority of the then-outstanding shares of Class B common stock agree to waive such adjustment with respect to any such issuance or deemed issuance, including pursuant to a specified future issuance) so that the number of shares of Class A common stock issuable upon conversion of all shares of Class B common stock will equal, in the aggregate, on an

as-converted

basis, 20% of the sum of the total number of all shares of common stock outstanding upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering plus all shares of Class A common stock and equity-linked securities issued or deemed issued in connection with our initial Business Combination (excluding any shares or equity-linked securities issued or issuable to any seller in the initial Business Combination).

Overview

We are a blank check company incorporated as a Delaware corporation on May 19, 2020. We were formed 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”). We are not limited to a particular industry or sector for purposes of consummating a Business Combination. We are an emerging growth company and, as such, we are subject to all of the risks associated with emerging growth companies.

Our sponsor is BowX Sponsor, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company of which Vivek Ranadivé, the Company’s Chairman and

Co-Chief

Executive Officer, and Murray Rode, our

Co-Chief

Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, are the managing members (the “Sponsor”). The registration statement for the initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering”) was declared effective on August 4, 2020. On August 7, 2020, we consummated our Initial Public Offering of 42,000,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the Class A common stock included in the Units being offered, the “Public Shares”) at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $420.0 million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $23.7 million, inclusive of $14.7 million in deferred underwriting commissions. On August 10, 2020, the underwriter exercised the over-allotment option to purchase an additional of 6,300,000 Units at the Initial Public Offering price at $10.00 per Unit and we consummated the sale of such Units on August 13, 2020, generating additional gross proceeds of $63.0 million, and incurring additional offering costs of approximately $3.5 million, inclusive of approximately $2.2 million in deferred underwriting commissions.

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the private placement (“Private Placement”) of 6,933,333 warrants (each, a “Private Placement Warrant” and collectively, the “Private Placement Warrants”) at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant in a private placement to certain of the initial stockholders and certain funds and accounts managed by subsidiaries of BlackRock, Inc (the “Private Placement Warrants Purchasers”), generating gross proceeds of $10.4 million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $8,000. In connection with the consummation of the sale of additional Units pursuant to the underwriter’s over-allotment option on August 13, 2020, we sold an additional 840,000 Private Placement Warrants to the Private Placement Warrants Purchasers, generating additional gross proceeds of approximately $1.3 million.

Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement(including the exercise of the over-allotment) $483.0 million ($10.00 per Unit) of the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement were placed in a trust account (“Trust Account”) located in the United States with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee, and held as cash or invested only in 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 in money market funds meeting certain conditions under the Investment Company Act, which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations, as determined by us, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account as described below.

We only have 24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering, or August 7, 2022, to complete our initial Business Combination (the “Combination Period”). If we do not complete a Business Combination within this period of time (and stockholders do not approve an amendment to the amended and restated certificate of incorporation to extend this date), we 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 us to pay its taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Public Stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any); and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining stockholders and our board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) to our obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. Our Sponsor and the other holders of the Founder Shares (as defined below), excluding funds and accounts managed by subsidiaries of BlackRock, Inc (the “initial stockholders”), have entered into agreements with us, pursuant to which they have waived their rights to participate in any redemption with respect to their Founder Shares in the event we do not complete a Business Combination within the required time period; provided, however, if the initial stockholders or any of our officers, directors or affiliates acquire Public Shares in or after the Initial Public Offering, they will be entitled to a pro rata share of the Trust Account upon our redemption or liquidation in the event we do not complete a Business Combination within the required time period. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value in the Trust Account will be less than the Initial Public Offering price per Unit in the Initial Public Offering.

Proposed Business Combination

On March 25, 2021, we, BowX Merger Subsidiary Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”) and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and WeWork Inc., a Delaware corporation (“WeWork”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other transactions, on the terms and conditions set forth therein, Merger Sub is to merge with and into WeWork (the “First Merger”), with WeWork surviving the First Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of us (WeWork, in its capacity as the surviving corporation of the First Merger, is sometimes referred to as the “Surviving Corporation”); and as promptly as practicable and as part of the same overall transaction as the First Merger, such Surviving Corporation will be merged with and into BowX Merger Subsidiary II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Merger Sub II”) and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of us (the “Second Merger” and, together with the First Merger, the “Mergers” and, collectively with the other transactions described in the Merger Agreement, the “Business Combination”), with Merger Sub II being the surviving entity of the Second Merger (Merger Sub II, in its capacity as the surviving entity of the Second Merger, is sometimes referred to herein as the “Surviving Entity”). In connection with the Closing (as defined herein), BowX intends to change its name to WeWork Inc. (such post-Closing entity, “New WeWork”).

As a result of and upon the Closing, among other things, all outstanding shares of WeWork capital stock of the First Merger (other than shares of WeWork Class C common stock, treasury shares, the dissenting shares and shares of WeWork capital stock reserved in respect of WeWork awards) will be cancelled in exchange for the right to receive an aggregate of 655,300,000 shares of New WeWork Class A common stock (at a deemed value of $10.00 per share) representing a

filed with the SEC on May 14, 2021, June 29, 2021 and July 21, 2021, for additional information.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2021, we had approximately $506,000 in cash and working capital deficit of approximately $2.9 million.

Through June 30, 2021 our liquidity needs were satisfied through a payment of $25,000 from the Company’s Chairman and

Co-Chief

Executive Officer to cover for certain offering costs in exchange for the issuance of the Founder Shares, and the loan under the Note of approximately $150,000 to us to cover for offering costs in connection with the Initial Public Offering. Subsequent to the consummation of the Initial Public Offering on August 7, 2020, the liquidity needs have been satisfied through the net proceeds from the consummation of the Private Placement not held in the Trust Account. We fully repaid the Note on August 7, 2020. In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, our officers, directors and initial stockholders may, but are not obligated to, provide us Working Capital Loans. To date, there were no amounts outstanding under any Working Capital Loans.

Based on the foregoing, management believes that we will have sufficient working capital and borrowing capacity to meet its needs through the earlier of the consummation of a Business Combination or one year from this filing. Over this time period, we will be using these funds for paying existing accounts payable, identifying and evaluating prospective initial Business Combination candidates, performing due diligence on prospective target businesses, paying for travel expenditures, selecting the target business to merge with or acquire, and structuring, negotiating and consummating the Business Combination.

Management continues to evaluate the impact of the

COVID-19

Results of Operations

Our entire activity since inception through June 30, 2021 was in preparation for our formation, the Initial Public Offering, and, since the closing of our Initial Public Offering, a search for business combination candidates. We will not be generating any operating revenues until the closing and completion of our initial Business Combination.

For the three months ended June 30, 2021, we had net loss of approximately $11.2 million, which consisted of approximately $1.8 million in general and administrative expenses, approximately $9.4 million in change in fair value of warrant liabilities and approximately $50,000 in franchise tax expense, partially offset by approximately $12,000 of interest income from investments held in Trust Account.

For the six months ended June 30, 2021, we had net loss of approximately $16.8 million, which consisted of approximately $4.1 million in general and administrative expenses, approximately $12.7 million in change in fair value of warrant liabilities and approximately $99,000 in franchise tax expense, partially offset by approximately $59,000 of interest income from investments held in Trust Account.

For the period from May 19, 2020 (inception) through June 30, 2020, we had a net loss of approximately $23,000, which consisted of $401 in general and administrative expenses and approximately $23,000 of franchise tax expense.

Related Party Transactions

Founder Shares

On May 26, 2020, we issued 10,062,500 shares of Class B common stock to our Company’s Chairman and

Co-Chief

Executive Officer in exchange for a payment of $25,000 for offering costs made by our Sponsor on behalf of our company (the “Founder Shares”). In July 2020, the Chairman and

Co-Chief

Executive Officer transferred certain Founder Shares to our directors and officers as well as to certain third parties. On August 4, 2020, we effected a stock dividend of 0.2 shares of Class B common stock for each share of Class B common stock outstanding, resulting in an aggregate of 12,075,000 Founder Shares outstanding. All shares and associated amounts have been retroactively restated to reflect the share dividend. On August 13, 2020, the underwriters exercised their 15% over-allotment option in full; thus, the Founder Shares were no longer subject to forfeiture.

30-trading

day period commencing at least 150 days after the initial Business Combination, or (y) the date on which we complete a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of our stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property.

Related Party Loans

On May 26, 2020, our Chairman and

Co-Chief

Executive Officer agreed to loan us up to an aggregate of $150,000 pursuant to an unsecured promissory note (the “Note”) to cover expenses related to the Initial Public Offering. This loan was payable without interest upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering. We borrowed up to the full amount of the Note and received additional advances of approximately $45,000 advancement of funds from such officer, for a total outstanding loan of approximately $195,000. We fully repaid the Note and the advances to such officer on August 7, 2020.

In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial Business Combination, the initial stockholders, officers and directors and their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required (the “Working Capital Loans”). 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 at the option of the lender. Such warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. Except for the foregoing, the terms of such loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans to date. To date, we did not have any borrowings under the Working Capital Loans.

Contractual Obligations

Registration Rights

The initial stockholders and holders of the Private Placement Warrants are entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement. The initial stockholders and holders of the Private Placement Warrants will be entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form registration demands, that we register such securities for sale under the Securities Act. In addition, these holders will have “piggy-back” registration rights to include their securities in other registration statements filed by us. We will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Underwriting Agreement

We granted the underwriter a

45-day

option to purchase up to 6,300,000 additional Units to cover any over-allotments, at the Initial Public Offering price less the underwriting discounts and commissions. On August 10, 2020, the underwriter fully exercised the over-allotment option.

The underwriter was entitled to an underwriting discount of $0.20 per unit, or $8.4 million in the aggregate, paid upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering. In addition, $0.35 per unit, or $14.7 million in the aggregate will be payable to the underwriter for deferred underwriting commissions. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriter from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that we complete a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

In connection with the consummation of the sale of Units pursuant to the over-allotment option on August 13, 2020, the underwriter received an aggregate of $1.26 million in underwriting fees and additional deferred underwriting commissions of approximately $2.2 million.

Critical Accounting Policies

Investments Held in the Trust Account

Our portfolio of investments held in the Trust Account is comprised 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 and generally have a readily determinable fair value, or a combination thereof. When the investments held in the Trust Account are comprised of U.S. government securities, the investments are classified as trading securities. When the investments held in the Trust Account are comprised of money market funds, the investments are recognized at fair value. Trading securities and investments in money market funds are presented on the balance sheets at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value of these securities are included in net gain from investments held in Trust Account in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. The estimated fair values of investments held in the Trust Account are determined using available market information.

Class A Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption

We account for our 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 our control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, shares of Class A common stock are classified as stockholders’ equity. Our Class A common stock features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of our control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, 43,231,098 and 44,911,184 shares of Class A common stock subject to possible redemption are presented as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ equity section of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Net Income (Loss) per Share of Common Stock

Our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations include a presentation of income (loss) per share of Class A common stock subject to redemption in a manner similar to the

Derivative Warrant Liabilities

We do not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. We evaluate all of its financial instruments, including issued shares purchase warrants, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives, pursuant to ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”). 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.

We account for the warrants issued in connection with the Private Placement as derivative warrant liabilities in accordance with ASC 815. Accordingly, we recognize 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 statements of operations. The fair value of warrants issued by us in connection with the Private Placement has been estimated using Public Warrant trading prices at each measurement date. The determination of the fair value of the warrant liability may be subject to change as more current information becomes available and accordingly the actual results could differ significantly. Derivative warrant liabilities are classified as

non-current

liabilities as their liquidation is not reasonably expected to require the use of current assets or require the creation of current liabilities.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Our management does not believe there are any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, that would have a material effect on our financial statements.

Off-Balance

Sheet Arrangements

As of June 30, 2021, we did not have any

off-balance

sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation

S-K.

JOBS Act

The Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”) contains provisions that, among other things, relax certain reporting requirements for qualifying public companies. We qualify as an “emerging growth company” and under the JOBS Act are allowed to comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements based on the effective date for private (not publicly traded) companies. We are electing to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards, and as a result, we may not comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for

non-emerging

growth companies. As a result, the unaudited condensed financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.

Additionally, we are in the process of evaluating the benefits of relying on the other reduced reporting requirements provided by the JOBS Act. Subject to certain conditions set forth in the JOBS Act, if, as an “emerging growth company,” we choose to rely on such exemptions we may not be required to, among other things, (i) provide an auditor’s attestation report on our system of internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404, (ii) provide all of the compensation disclosure that may be required of

non-emerging

growth public companies under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, (iii) comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the PCAOB regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (auditor discussion and analysis) and (iv) disclose certain executive compensation related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the CEO’s compensation to median employee compensation. These exemptions will apply for a period of five years following the completion of our Initial Public Offering or until we are no longer an “emerging growth company,” whichever is earlier.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule

12b-2

of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information otherwise required under this item.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2021, as such term is defined in Rules

13a-15(e)

and

15d-15(e)

under the Exchange Act. Based upon their evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules

13a-15

(e) and

15d-15

(e) under the Exchange Act) were not effective as of June 30, 2021, due solely to the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting described in “Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting” included in our Annual Report on Form 10K/A as filed with the SEC on May 12, 2021. In light of this material weakness, we performed additional analysis as deemed necessary to ensure that our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, management believes that the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10Q present fairly in all material respects our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the period presented.

Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, covered by this Quarterly Report on Form

10-Q

that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting, as the circumstances that led to the restatement of our financial statements had not yet been identified. Management has implemented remediation steps to address the material weakness and to improve our internal control over financial reporting. Specifically, we expanded and improved our review process for complex securities and related accounting standards. We plan to further improve this process by enhancing access to accounting literature, identification of third-party professionals with whom to consult regarding complex accounting applications and consideration of additional staff with the requisite experience and training to supplement existing accounting professionals.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

From time to time, the Company is involved in legal matters arising in the ordinary course of business. While management believes that such matters are currently not material, there can be no assurance that matters arising in the ordinary course of business for which the Company is, or could be, involved in litigation, will not have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition or results of operations.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

On August 7, 2020, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 42,000,000 Units. The Units sold in the Initial Public Offering were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per unit, generating total gross proceeds of $420 million. UBS Securities LLC acted as sole book-running manager. The securities in the offering were registered under the Securities Act on registration statements on Form

S-1

(Nos.

333-239941

and

333-240430).

The SEC declared the registration statements effective on August 4, 2020.

Simultaneous with the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the private placement of an aggregate of 6,933,333 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant, generating total proceed of $10.4 million. The issuance was made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

On August 10, 2020, the underwriters exercised the over-allotment option to purchase an additional of 6,300,000 Units at the Initial Public Offering price at $10.00 per Unit and we consummated the sale of such Units on August 13, 2020, generating additional gross proceeds of $63.0 million, and incurring additional offering costs of approximately $3.5 million, inclusive of an additional of approximately $2.2 million in deferred underwriting commissions.

In connection with the consummation of the sale of additional Units pursuant to the underwriter’s over-allotment option on August 13, 2020, we sold an additional 840,000 Private Placement Warrants to the Private Placement Warrants Purchasers, generating additional gross proceeds of approximately $1.3 million.

Of the gross proceeds received from the Initial Public Offering and sale of the Private Placement Warrants, including the over-allotment exercise, $483,000,000 was placed in the Trust Account.

For a description of the use of the proceeds generated in our Initial Public Offering, see Part I, Item 2 of this Form

10-Q.

As of June 30, 2021, after giving effect to our Initial Public Offering and our operations subsequent thereto, approximately $483,071,704 was held in the Trust Account, and we had approximately $506,334 of unrestricted cash available to us for our activities in connection with identifying and conducting due diligence of a suitable Business Combination, and for general corporate matters.
