NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 — Organization and Business Operations

CM Life Sciences II Inc. (the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated as a Delaware corporation on December 15, 2020. The Company was 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 (“Business Combination”).

As of June 30, 2021, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity through June 30, 2021 relates to the Company’s formation and the Initial Public Offering (“IPO”) which is described below, and identifying a target company for a Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of a Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company generates non-operating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the IPO.

The registration statement for the Company’s IPO was declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 22, 2021 (the “Effective Date”). On February 25, 2021, the Company consummated the IPO of 27,600,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the shares of Class A common stock included in the Units sold, the “Public Shares”), including 3,600,000 Units issued pursuant to the full exercise of the underwriter’s over-allotment option, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $276,000,000, which is discussed in Note 3. Each Unit consists of one share of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class A Common Stock”), and one-fifth of one redeemable warrant to purchase one share of Class A Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per whole share.

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company consummated the sale of 5,013,333 private placement warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”), at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant, in a private placement (the “Private Placement”) to the Company’s Sponsor, CMLS Holdings II LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”) and the Company’s independent directors, generating gross proceeds of $7,520,000, which is discussed in Note 4.

Transaction costs of the IPO amounted to $15,675,247 consisting of $5,520,000 of underwriting discount, $9,660,000 of deferred underwriting discount, and $495,247 of other offering costs.

Following the closing of the IPO on February 25, 2021, $276,000,000 ($10.00 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the IPO, including the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, was deposited in a trust account (“Trust Account”) located in the United States with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee, and will be invested only in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in 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. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to the Company to pay taxes, if any, the proceeds from the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants will not be released from the Trust Account until the earliest of (i) the completion of initial Business Combination, (ii) the redemption of the Company’s Public Shares if the Company does not complete an initial Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the IPO or during any Extension Period, subject to applicable law, or (iii) the redemption of the Company’s Public Shares properly submitted in connection with a stockholder vote to amend its amended and restated certificate of incorporation to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of its Public Shares if the Company has not consummated an initial Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the IPO or during any Extension Period or with respect to any other material provisions relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity. The proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could become subject to the claims of the Company’s creditors, if any, which could have priority over the claims of the Company’s public stockholders.

The Company will have 24 months from the closing of the IPO to complete the initial Business Combination (the “Combination Period”) or during any extended period of time that it may have to consummate an initial Business Combination as a result of an amendment to its amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the “Extension Period”). However, if the Company is unable to complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period or during any Extension 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 (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 Company’s 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.

The Sponsor and the Company’s officers and directors have agreed to (i) waive their redemption rights with respect to any founder shares and Public Shares they hold in connection with the completion of the initial Business Combination, (ii) waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares (as defined below) and Public Shares in connection with a stockholder vote to approve an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, (iii) waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Founder Shares they hold if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period or during any Extension Period, although they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Public Shares they hold if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination within such time period, and (iv) vote any Founder Shares held by them and any Public Shares purchased during or after the IPO (including in open market and privately-negotiated transactions) in favor of the initial Business Combination.

The Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company will enter into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or other similar agreement or Business Combination agreement, 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 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 prospective target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the Trust Account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) nor will it apply to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriter of the IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. However, the Company has not asked the Sponsor to reserve for such indemnification obligations, nor has the Company independently verified whether the Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and the Company believes that the Sponsor’s only assets are securities of the Company. Therefore, the Company cannot assure that the Sponsor would be able to satisfy those obligations. None of the Company’s officers or directors will indemnify the Company for claims by third parties including, without limitation, claims by vendors and prospective target businesses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2021, the Company had approximately $0.7 million in its operating bank account, and working capital of approximately $0.7 million.

The Company’s liquidity needs up to February 25, 2021 had been satisfied through a capital contribution from the Sponsor of $25,000 (see Note 5) for the Founder Shares and access to a loan under an unsecured promissory note from the Sponsor of $300,000 (see Note 5). Subsequent to the consummation of the IPO, the Company’s liquidity needs have been satisfied through the net proceeds from the consummation of the Private Placement not held in the Trust Account. In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, our Sponsor or an affiliate of our Sponsor, or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, provide us working capital loans. As of June 30, 2021, there were no amounts outstanding under any working capital loan.

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, we will be using these funds held outside of the Trust Account 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.

Agreement and Plan of Merger

On March 28, 2021, the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, S-Craft Merger Sub, Inc. (“Merger Sub”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, as amended by Amendment No. 1 and Amendment No. 2 thereto, dated as of May 12, 2021 and July 15, 2021, respectively (the “Merger Agreement”), with SomaLogic, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“SomaLogic”). Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Company will acquire SomaLogic through the merger of Merger Sub with and into SomaLogic, with SomaLogic surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”). Upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (“SomaLogic Business Combination”), the Company will change its name to SomaLogic, Inc. The SomaLogic Business Combination was approved by the boards of directors of each of the Company and SomaLogic. The SomaLogic Business Combination is expected to close in the third quarter of 2021, following the receipt of the required approval by the stockholders of each of SomaLogic and of the Company and the satisfaction of certain other customary closing conditions.

Under the Merger Agreement, the Company has agreed to acquire all of the outstanding equity interests of SomaLogic for at least $1.25 billion in aggregate consideration consisting of 125,000,000 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock (assuming no cash elections will be made by SomaLogic stockholders) and up to an additional 5,000,000 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock pursuant to the Earn-Out Shares (as defined below). Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (“Effective Time”), and as further described in this proxy statement/prospectus, (i) each share of SomaLogic common stock and SomaLogic preferred stock held in SomaLogic’s treasury or owned by the Company, Merger Sub or SomaLogic immediately prior to the Effective Time (each an “Excluded Share”), will be cancelled and no consideration will be paid or payable with respect thereto and (ii) each share of SomaLogic stock, other than Excluded Shares and Dissenting Shares (as defined in the Merger Agreement), that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be cancelled and automatically deemed for all purposes to represent the right to receive a portion of the total consideration, with each SomaLogic’s stockholder (as applicable) being entitled to receive (the consideration in clauses (a) through (c), the “Merger Consideration”):

	(a)	if such stockholder has made a cash election, as set forth and in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, such stockholder shall receive a portion of the specified aggregate amount of cash consideration payable under the terms of the Merger Agreement (such aggregate amount not to exceed $50,000,000) and pursuant to the terms of such stockholder’s cash election;
	(b)	a number of shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company equal to the quotient of: (i) (A) the product of (x) such stockholder’s total shares of SomaLogic stock (with the SomaLogic common stock and preferred stock (determined on an as-converted basis) included as a single class) multiplied by (y) the per share amount calculated in accordance with the Merger Agreement minus (B) the amount of cash payable to such stockholder pursuant to its cash election, if any, divided by (ii) $10.00; and
	(c)	such stockholder’s earn-out pro rata share of any Earn-Out Shares (as defined below) to which such stockholder is entitled pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement.

The exchange ratio is currently expected to be 0.8426 shares of Class A Common Stock per share of SomaLogic’s Class B common stock, after giving effect to the conversion of each share of SomaLogic preferred stock into two shares of SomaLogic Class B common stock.

Following the closing of the SomaLogic Business Combination, and as additional consideration for the Merger and the other transactions, if at any time between the 13-month anniversary of the closing and the 24-month anniversary of the closing (inclusive of the first and last day of such period, the “Earn-Out Period”), the volume-weighted average closing sale price of a share of the Company’s Class A Common Stock as reported on Nasdaq for a period of at least 20 out of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the trading day immediately prior to the date of determination is greater than or equal to $20.00 (“Triggering Event”), then we will deliver or cause to be delivered to each applicable SomaLogic stockholder in accordance with such stockholder’s respective earn-out pro rata share (other than holders of Dissenting Shares, as defined in the Merger Agreement), and each employee or individual service provider of SomaLogic, in each case whom the board of directors of SomaLogic designates as an Earn-Out Service Provider prior to the Closing and who enters into an earn-out award agreement (such employee or individual service provider, an “Earn-Out Service Provider”) (in accordance with its respective earn-out pro rata share and, in the case of the Earn-Out Service Providers, in accordance with the terms of the applicable earn-out award agreement), 5,000,000 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock (which shall be equitably adjusted for stock splits, reverse stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations, reclassifications, combination, exchange of shares or other like change or transaction with respect to the Company’s Class A Common Stock occurring on or after the Closing) (“Earn-Out Shares”), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement and the other transaction agreements and, in the case of the Earn-Out Service Providers, subject to the additional requirements set forth in the Merger Agreement and the applicable earn-out award agreement.

The SomaLogic Business Combination will have no effect on the Class A Common Stock that is issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, which will continue to remain outstanding. The shares of Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 of the Company (“Class B Common Stock”) held by the Company’s Initial Stockholders and referred to as the Founder Shares will automatically convert into Class A Common Stock concurrently with or immediately following the consummation of the SomaLogic Business Combination on a one-for-one basis.

Upon the Closing, the former SomaLogic stockholders are expected to hold, in the aggregate, approximately 61.7% of the outstanding shares of the post-combination company (assuming no cash elections will be made by SomaLogic stockholders).

In connection with the SomaLogic Business Combination, the Company entered into subscription agreements, each dated as of March 28, 2021 (“Subscription Agreements”), with certain institutional investors (collectively, “PIPE Investors”), including certain stockholders of SomaLogic and certain affiliates of CMLS Holdings II LLC (the “Sponsor”), pursuant to which, among other things, the Company agreed to issue and sell to the PIPE Investors, in private placements to close immediately prior to the Closing, an aggregate of 37,500,000 shares of Class A Common Stock at $10.00 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $375,000,000 (“PIPE Investment”).

The Merger Agreement allows the parties to terminate the Merger Agreement if certain customary conditions described in the Merger Agreement are not satisfied, including, without limitation, each party’s right to terminate, subject to certain limited exceptions, if the SomaLogic Business Combination is not consummated by December 31, 2021. If the Merger Agreement is validly terminated, none of the parties to the Merger Agreement will have any liability or any further obligation under the Merger Agreement other than customary confidentiality obligations, except in the case of a willful and intentional breach of the Merger Agreement or intentional fraud in the making of the representations and warranties in the Merger Agreement.

Risks and Uncertainties

Management is continuing to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that it could have a negative effect on the Company’s financial position, results of its operations and/or search for a target company, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of these financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart our Business Startups Act of 2012, (the “JOBS Act”), and it 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, 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 a 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 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 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 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 expenses during the reporting period. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

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. One of the more significant accounting estimates included in these financial statements is the determination of the fair value of the warrant liability. Such estimates may be subject to change as more current information becomes available and accordingly the actual results could differ significantly 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 did not have any cash equivalents as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

Marketable Securities Held in Trust Account

At June 30, 2021, the assets held in the Trust Account were held in money market funds which only invest in U.S. government treasury obligations. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company did not withdraw any of the interest income from the Trust Account to pay its tax obligations.

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 coverage 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.

Warrant Liabilities

The Company evaluated the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants (collectively, “Warrants”, which are discussed in Note 2, Note 4, Note 5, and Note 9) in accordance with ASC 815-40, “Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity”, and concluded that a provision in the Warrant Agreement related to certain tender or exchange offers precludes the Warrants from being accounted for as components of equity. As the Warrants meet the definition of a derivative as contemplated in ASC 815, the Warrants are recorded as derivative liabilities on the Condensed Balance Sheet and measured at fair value at inception (on the date of the IPO) and at each reporting date in accordance with ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurement”, with changes in fair value recognized in the Condensed Statement of Operations in the period of change.

Offering Costs Associated with the IPO

The Company complies with the requirements of the ASC 340-10-S99-1. Offering costs consisted of legal, accounting, underwriting fees and other costs incurred through the IPO that were directly related to the IPO. Offering costs are allocated to the separable financial instruments issued in the IPO based on a relative fair value basis, compared to total proceeds received. Offering costs associated with warrant liabilities are expensed as incurred, presented as non-operating expenses in the statement of operations in the amount of $504,743 for the six months ended June 30, 2021. Offering costs associated with the Class A Common Stock were charged to stockholders’ equity upon the completion of the IPO.

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.” Class A Common Stock subject to mandatory redemption (if any) is classified as liability instruments and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable shares of Class A Common Stock (including Class A Common Stock that features 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, Class A Common Stock is classified as stockholders’ equity. The Company’s shares of Class A Common Stock feature 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, 20,369,028 shares of Class A Common Stock subject to possible redemption were presented as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ equity section of the Company’s unaudited condensed balance sheet.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740 Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and tax credit carry forwards. ASC 740 additionally requires a valuation allowance to be established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized. The deferred tax assets were deemed to be de minimis as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

ASC 740 also clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position 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. ASC 740 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim period, disclosure and transition.

The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of 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 has identified the United States as its only “major” tax jurisdiction. The Company is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception. These potential examinations may include questioning the timing and amount of deductions, the nexus of income among various tax jurisdictions and compliance with federal and state tax laws. The Company’s management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months. The provision for income taxes was deemed to be de minimis for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.

Net Loss Per Common Share

Net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. The Company has not considered the effect of the warrants sold in the IPO and Private Placement to purchase an aggregate of 10,533,333 shares of Class A Common Stock in the calculation of diluted loss per common stock, since they are not yet exercisable.

Reconciliation of Net Loss per Common share

The Company’s condensed statement of operations includes a presentation of loss per share for common stock subject to redemption in a manner similar to the two-class method of income (loss) per share. Accordingly, basic and diluted income per common share of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock is calculated as follows:

	Three Months Ended June 30, 2021			Six Months Ended June 30, 2021
Redeemable Class A common stock:
Interest income earned on investments held in the Trust Account	$	6,882		$	9,453
Less: Interest income available to the Company for taxes		(6,882	)		(9,453	)
Adjusted net income	$	—		$	—

Weighted average shares outstanding of Class A common stock		27,600,000			27,600,000
Basic and diluted net income per share, Class A common stock	$	(0.00	)	$	(0.00	)

Non-redeemable Class B common stock:
Net Loss	$	(16,864,623	)	$	(43,275,879	)
Less: Income attributable to Class A common stock		—			—
Adjusted net loss	$	(16,864,623	)	$	(43,275,879	)

Weighted average shares outstanding of Class B common stock		6,900,000			6,626,519
Basic and diluted net loss per share, Class B common stock	$	(2.44	)	$	(6.53	)

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company follows the guidance in ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurement,” for its financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at each reporting period, and non-financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at least annually.

The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities reflects management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities:

Level 1 —	Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Valuation adjustments and block discounts are not being applied. Since valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market, valuation of these securities does not entail a significant degree of judgment.

Level 2 —	Valuations based on (i) quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities, (ii) quoted prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar assets, (iii) inputs other than quoted prices for the assets or liabilities, or (iv) inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by market through correlation or other means.

Level 3 —	Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.

See Note 8 for additional information on assets and liabilities measured at fair value.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 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 (“ASU 2020-06”), 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 scope exception, and it simplifies the diluted earnings per share calculation in certain areas. ASU 2020-06 is effective January 1, 2022 and should be applied on a full or modified retrospective basis, with early adoption permitted beginning on January 1, 2021. The Company is currently assessing the impact, if any, that ASU 2020-06 would have on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

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

Note 3 — Initial Public Offering

Public Units

On February 25, 2021, the Company sold 27,600,000 Units, at a purchase price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $276,000,000. Each Unit consists of one share of Class A Common Stock, and one-fifth of one redeemable warrant to purchase one share of Class A Common Stock (the “Public Warrants”).

Public Warrants

Each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of the Company’s Class A Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as discussed herein. In addition, if (x) the Company issues additional shares of 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 Class A Common Stock (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 sponsor or its affiliates, without taking into account any founder shares held by the sponsor or its affiliates, 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 common stock during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which the Company consummates the 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, the $18.00 per share redemption trigger price described adjacent to “Redemption of warrants when the price per share of Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds $18.00” will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 180% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, and the $10.00 per share redemption trigger price described adjacent to the caption “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 the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price.

The warrants will become exercisable on the later of 12 months from the closing of the IPO or 30 days after the completion of its initial Business Combination, and will expire five years after the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination, at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

The Company has agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than fifteen (15) business days after the closing of the initial Business Combination, it will use its best efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement for the registration, under the Securities Act, of the Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants. The Company will use its best efforts to cause the same to become effective and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement, and a current prospectus relating thereto, until the expiration of the warrants in accordance with the provisions of the warrant agreement. If a registration statement covering the Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective by the sixtieth (60^th) 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. Notwithstanding the above, if the Company’s Class A Common Stock are at the time of any exercise of a warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that they satisfy 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 elect, it will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, and in the event the Company does not so elect, it will use its best efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue-sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available.

Redemptions of warrants when the price per share of Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds $18.00.

Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding 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 to each warrant holder; and

	●	if, and only if, the closing price of the Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending three business days before the Company sends to the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.

Redemptions 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:

	●	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, based on the redemption date and the “fair market value” of our Class A Common Stock (as defined below) except as otherwise described below;

	●	if, and only if, the closing price equals or exceeds $10.00 per share (as adjusted) for any 20 trading days within the 30-trading day period ending three trading days before the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders; and

●

if the closing price of the Class A Common Stock for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending three trading days before the Company sends notice of redemption to the warrant holders is less than $18.00 per share (as adjusted), the Private Placement Warrants must also be concurrently called for redemption on the same terms as the outstanding public warrants, as described above.

The “fair market value” of the Company’s Class A Common Stock shall mean the volume weighted average price of the Company’s Class A Common Stock during the 10 trading days immediately following the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of warrants. This redemption feature differs from the typical warrant redemption features used in other blank check offerings. The Company will provide its warrant holders with the final fair market value no later than one business day after the 10-trading day 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 Class A Common Stock per warrant (subject to adjustment).

Note 4 — Private Placement Warrants

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Sponsor and the Company’s independent directors purchased an aggregate of 5,013,333 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.50 per warrant, for an aggregate purchase price of $7,520,000. The Sponsor has purchased 4,346,669 warrants, and each of Mr. Conroy, Mr. Cox, Dr. Kelly and Dr. Quake (and/or one or more entities controlled by them) purchased 166,666 warrants.

The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the warrants sold in the IPO except that the Private Placement Warrants, so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees, (i) will not be redeemable by the Company (except as described herein), (ii) may not (including the Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of these warrants), subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferred, assigned or sold by the holders until 30 days after the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination, (iii) may be exercised by the holders on a cashless basis and (iv) will be entitled to certain registration rights.

If the Private Placement Warrants are held by holders other than the sponsor or its permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by the holders on the same basis as the warrants included in the units sold in the IPO

Note 5 — Related Party Transactions

Founder Shares

On December 17, 2020, the Sponsor paid $25,000, or approximately $0.004 per share, to cover certain offering costs in consideration for 5,750,000 shares (the “Founder Shares”) of Class B Common Stock. In January and February 2021, the Sponsor transferred 25,000 Founder Shares to each of Mr. Conroy, Mr. Cox, Dr. Kelly and Dr. Quake. On February 22, 2021, the Company effected a 1:1.2 stock split of the Class B Common Stock, resulting in our sponsor holding an aggregate of 6,800,000 Founder Shares and there being an aggregate of 6,900,000 Founder Shares outstanding (see Note 7), including up to 900,000 Founder Shares which were subject to forfeiture by the Sponsor depending on the extent to which the underwriter’s over-allotment option was exercised. As a result of the underwriter’s election to fully exercise their over-allotment option on February 25, 2021, none of the Founder Shares were forfeited.

The initial stockholders have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of: (A) one year after the completion of the initial Business Combination and (B) 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 Company’s stockholders having the right to exchange their Class A Common Stock for cash, securities or other property; except to certain permitted transferees (the “lock-up”). Any permitted transferees will be subject to the same restrictions and other agreements of our initial stockholders with respect to any Founder Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (i) the closing price of the Company’s 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 (2) if the Company consummates a transaction after the initial Business Combination which results in the stockholders having the right to exchange their shares for cash, securities or other property, the Founder Shares will be released from the lock-up.

On March 28, 2021, the Sponsor entered into a Sponsor Forfeiture Agreement (the “Forfeiture Agreement”) with SomaLogic and the Company, whereby Sponsor has agreed, subject to certain limitations and in accordance with the terms of the Forfeiture Agreement, to forfeit up to 33% of its shares of Class B Common Stock of the Company, such actual amount tied to actual exercise of redemption rights by the Company stockholders in connection with the Business Combination, as more fully described in the Forfeiture Agreement.

Promissory Note — Related Party

On December 17, 2020, the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company up to $300,000 to be used for a portion of the expenses of the IPO. This loan was non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of March 31, 2021 or the completion of the IPO. No amounts were ever borrowed under the promissory note.

Related Party Loans

In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended 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 the initial Business Combination, the Company would repay the Working Capital Loans. In the event that the initial Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans but no proceeds from the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. Up to $1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.50 per warrant at the option of the lender. Such 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.

Note 6 — Commitments and Contingencies

Forward Purchase Agreements

On February 22, 2021, the Company entered into separate forward purchase agreements with affiliates of the Sponsor, Casdin Capital, LLC (“Casdin”) and Corvex Management LP (“Corvex”), in their capacities as investment advisors on behalf of one or more investment funds, clients or accounts managed by each of Casdin and Corvex, respectively (collectively, their “Clients”), pursuant to which, subject to the conditions described below, they will cause the Clients to purchase from the Company up to an aggregate amount of 7,500,000 shares of Class A Common Stock, or the forward purchase shares, for $10.00 per forward purchase share, or an aggregate amount of up to $75,000,000, in a private placement that will close concurrently with the closing of a Business Combination. The amount of forward purchase shares sold pursuant to the forward purchase agreements will be determined in the Company’s discretion based on the Company’s need for additional capital to consummate a Business Combination. Under each forward purchase agreement, the Company is required to approach Casdin and Corvex if it proposes to raise additional capital by issuing any equity, or securities convertible into, exchangeable or exercisable for equity securities in connection with a Business Combination. The respective obligations of Casdin and Corvex to purchase forward purchase shares will, among other things, be conditioned on the Company completing a Business Combination with a company engaged in a business that is within the investment objectives of the Clients purchasing forward purchase shares and on the Business Combination (including the target assets or business, and the terms of the Business Combination) being reasonably acceptable to such Clients as determined by Casdin or Corvex, as relevant, as investment advisors on behalf of such Clients. Each of Casdin and Corvex will have the right to transfer a portion of its purchase obligation under the forward purchase agreement to third parties, subject to compliance with applicable securities laws. To the extent that the Company obtains alternative financing to fund the initial Business Combination and the Clients participate in such financing, the aggregate commitment under the forward purchase agreement will be reduced by the amount of such alternative financing.

Registration Rights

The holders of the (i) Founder Shares, which were issued in a private placement prior to the closing of the IPO, (ii) Private Placement Warrants which will be issued in a private placement simultaneously with the closing of the IPO and the shares of Class A Common Stock underlying such Private Placement Warrants and (iii) Private Placement Warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans and (iv) any Forward Purchase Shares that are issued in a private placement simultaneously with the closing of the initial Business Combination, will have registration rights to require the Company to register a sale of any of its securities held by them 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 registers such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the Company’s 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 underwriter had a 45-day option from the date of the IPO to purchase up to an aggregate of 3,600,000 additional Units at the public offering price less the underwriting commissions to cover over-allotments, if any. On February 25, 2021, the underwriter fully exercised the over-allotment option to purchase 3,600,000 Units, and was paid an underwriting discount in aggregate of $5,520,000.

Additionally, the underwriter is entitled to a deferred underwriting fee of 3.5% of the gross proceeds of the IPO or $9,660,000 in the aggregate. The deferred fee will be payable to the underwriter from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completes an initial Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

Note 7 — Stockholders’ Equity

Preference Shares — The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.0001 and with such designations, voting and other rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Company’s board of directors. At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there were no shares of preferred stock issued or outstanding.

Class A Common stock — The Company is authorized to issue a total of 380,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock at par value of $0.0001 each. At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there were 7,230,972 and 0 shares issued and outstanding, excluding 20,369,028 and 0 shares subject to possible redemption, respectively.

Class B Common stock — The Company is authorized to issue 20,000,000 shares of Class B Common Stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there were 6,900,000 shares issued and outstanding. Holders of Class A Common Stock and holders of Class B Common Stock will vote together as a single class on all matters submitted to a vote of the Company’s stockholders except as required by law. Unless specified in the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, or as required by applicable provisions of the DGCL or applicable stock exchange rules, the affirmative vote of a majority of the Company’s shares of common stock that are voted is required to approve any such matter voted on by its stockholders.

The shares of Class B Common Stock will automatically convert into Class A Common Stock concurrently with or immediately following the consummation of the initial Business Combination 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 provided herein. In the case that additional shares of Class A Common Stock or equity-linked securities are issued or deemed issued in connection with the initial Business Combination, the number of shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of all Founder Shares will equal, in the aggregate, on an as-converted basis, 20% of the total number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding after such conversion (after giving effect to any redemptions of shares of Class A Common Stock by public stockholders), including the total number of shares of Class A Common Stock issued, or deemed issued or issuable upon conversion or exercise of any equity-linked securities or rights issued or deemed issued, by the Company in connection with or in relation to the consummation of the initial Business Combination (including any Forward Purchase Shares), excluding any shares of Class A Common Stock or equity-linked securities or rights exercisable for or convertible into shares of Class A Common Stock issued, or to be issued, to any seller in the initial Business Combination and any Private Placement Warrants issued to the Sponsor, officers or directors upon conversion of Working Capital Loans; provided that such conversion of Founder Shares will never occur on a less than one-for-one basis.

Note 8 — Fair Value Measurements

The following table presents information about the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30, 2021, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value:

	June 30,		Quoted Prices In Active Markets		Significant Other Observable Inputs		Significant Other Unobservable Inputs
	2021		(Level 1)		(Level 2)		(Level 3)
Assets:
U.S. Money Market held in Trust Account	$	276,009,453	$	276,009,453	$	—	$	—
Liabilities:
Public Warrant Liability	$	29,833,667	$	29,833,667	$	—	$	—
Private Placement Warrant Liability		28,498,177		—		—		28,498,177
	$	58,331,844	$	29,833,667	$	—	$	28,498,177

The Warrants are accounted for as liabilities in accordance with ASC 815-40 and are presented within warrant liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The warrant liabilities are measured at fair value at inception and on a recurring basis, with changes in fair value presented within change in fair value of warrant liabilities in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

The Company established the initial fair value for the Warrants on February 25, 2021, the date of the Company’s IPO, using a Monte Carlo simulation model for the Private Placement Warrants and the Public Warrants. As of June 30, 2021, the fair value for the Private Warrants was estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model, and the fair value of the Public Warrants by reference to the quoted market price. The Public and Private Warrants were classified as Level 3 at the initial measurement date, and the Private Warrants were classified as Level 3 as of June 30, 2021 due to the use of unobservable inputs. For the period ending June 30, 2021, the Public Warrants were reclassified from a Level 3 to a Level 1 classification due to use of the observed trading price of the separated Public Warrants.

The following table presents the changes Level 3 liabilities for the six months period ended June 30, 2021:

Fair Value at January 1, 2021	$	—
Initial fair value of public and private warrants		25,681,866
Change in fair value of public and private warrants		32,649,978
Transfer of public warrants to Level 1		(29,833,667	)
Fair Value at June 30, 2021	$	28,498,177

The key inputs into the Monte Carlo simulation as of June 30, 2021 were as follows:

Inputs	June 30, 2021

Risk-free interest rate		0.90	%
Expected term (years)		5.17
Expected volatility		50.3	%
Stock price	$	12.26
Expected dividend yield		0	%

Note 9 — Subsequent Events

The Company evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date up to the date that the unaudited condensed financial statements were issued. Based upon this review, other than contained herein, the Company did not identify any subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the unaudited condensed financial statements.

Overview

We are a blank check company incorporated on December 15, 2020 as a Delaware corporation and formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more target businesses (the “Business Combination”). Our sponsor is CMLS Holdings II LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”). We intend to effectuate our Business Combination using cash from the proceeds of our initial public offering (“IPO”), the sale of the Private Placement Warrants (as defined below) that occurred simultaneously with the completion of our IPO and the sale of the forward purchase shares, shares issued to the owners of the target, debt issued to bank or other lenders or the owners of the target, or a combination of the foregoing. We expect to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our acquisition plans. We cannot assure you that our plans to complete a Business Combination will be successful.

The registration statement for our IPO was declared effective on February 22, 2021. On February 25, 2021, we consummated our IPO of 27,600,000 units (including 3,600,000 units issued to the underwriter pursuant to the exercise in full of the over-allotment option granted to the underwriter) (“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 $276.0 million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $15.7 million, inclusive of $9.7 million in deferred underwriting commissions.

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, we consummated the private placement (“Private Placement”) of 5,013,333 warrants at a price of $1.50 per warrant (“Private Placement Warrants” and, together with the warrants included in the Units, the “Warrants”) to the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of approximately $7.5 million.

Upon the closing of the IPO and the Private Placement on February 25, 2021, $276.0 million ($10.00 per Unit) of the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the IPO 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 invested only in U.S. “government securities,” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (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.

If we have not completed a Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the IPO, 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, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to our obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

Results of Operations

For the six months ended June 30, 2021, we had a net loss of approximately $43.3 million, which included a loss from operations of $0.9 million, offering cost expense allocated to warrants of $0.5 million, and a loss from the change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $41.9 million.

For the three months ended June 30, 2021, we had a net loss of approximately $16.9 million, which included a loss from operations of $0.8 million and a loss from the change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $16.1 million.

Our business activities from inception to June 30, 2021 consisted primarily of our formation and completing our IPO, and since the offering, our activity has been limited to identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition targets for a Business Combination.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2021, we had approximately $0.7 million in its operating bank account, and working capital of approximately $0.7 million.

Our liquidity needs up to February 25, 2021 had been satisfied through a capital contribution from the Sponsor of $25,000 for the founder shares and access to a loan under an unsecured promissory note from the Sponsor of $300,000. Subsequent to the consummation of the IPO, the Company’s liquidity needs have been satisfied through the net proceeds from the consummation of the Private Placement not held in the Trust Account. In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, our Sponsor or an affiliate of our Sponsor, or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, provide us working capital loans. As of June 30, 2021, there were no amounts outstanding under any working capital loan.

Contractual Obligations

We do not have any long-term debt obligations, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations, purchase obligations or long-term liabilities.

Critical Accounting Policies

This management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our unaudited condensed financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these unaudited condensed financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in our unaudited condensed financial statements. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to fair value of financial instruments and accrued expenses. We base our estimates on historical experience, known trends and events and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Except as set forth below, there have been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies as discussed in the Final Prospectus.

Warrants Liability

We evaluated the Warrants in accordance with ASC 815-40, “Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity”, and concluded that a provision in the Warrant Agreement related to certain tender or exchange offers as well as provisions that provided for potential changes to the settlement amounts dependent upon the characteristics of the holder of the warrant, precludes the Warrants from being accounted for as components of equity. As the Warrants meet the definition of a derivative as contemplated in ASC 815 and are not eligible for an exception from derivative accounting, the Warrants are recorded as derivative liabilities on the Balance Sheet and measured at fair value at inception (on the date of the IPO) and at each reporting date in accordance with ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurement”, with changes in fair value recognized in the Statement of Operations in the period of change.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Our management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying unaudited condensed 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.

ITEM 3.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

As of June 30, 2021, we were not subject to any market or interest rate risk. The net proceeds received into the Trust Account, have been invested in U.S. government treasury bills, notes or bonds with a maturity of 185 days or less or in certain money market funds that invest solely in US treasuries. Due to the short-term nature of these investments, we believe there will be no associated material exposure to interest rate risk.

ITEM 4.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2021. Based upon their evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, solely due to the Company’s reclassification of the Warrants as derivative liabilities measured at fair value (as described more fully in “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations— Critical Accounting Policies — Warrants Liability” above), our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2021.

We do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all instances of fraud. Disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Further, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all disclosure controls and procedures, no evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures can provide absolute assurance that we have detected all our control deficiencies and instances of fraud, if any. The design of disclosure controls and procedures also is based partly on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During the most recently completed fiscal quarter, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. In light of the reclassification, we plan to enhance our processes to identify and appropriately apply applicable accounting requirements to better evaluate and understand the nuances of the complex accounting standards that apply to our financial statements. Our plans at this time include providing enhanced access to accounting literature, research materials and documents and increased communication among our personnel and third-party professionals with whom we consult regarding complex accounting applications. The elements of our remediation plan can only be accomplished over time, and we can offer no assurance that these initiatives will ultimately have the intended effects.

ITEM 1A.

RISK FACTORS.

Factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in this Quarterly Report are any of the risks described in the Final Prospectus. Any of these factors could result in a significant or material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. Additional risk factors not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business or results of operations. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, other than as described below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in the Final Prospectus, except we may disclose changes to such factors or disclose additional factors from time to time in our future filings with the SEC.

Our warrants are accounted for as liabilities and the changes in value of our warrants could have a material effect on our financial results.

On April 12, 2021, the Acting Director of the Division of Corporation Finance and Acting Chief Accountant of the SEC together issued a statement regarding the accounting and reporting considerations for warrants issued by special purpose acquisition companies entitled “Staff Statement on Accounting and Reporting Considerations for Warrants Issued by Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (“SPACs”)” (the “SEC Statement”). Specifically, the SEC Statement expressed the view that certain terms and conditions common to warrants issued in connection with the initial public offerings of special purpose acquisition companies may require such warrants to be classified as liabilities on a balance sheet rather than as equity. As a result of the SEC Statement and in light of evolving views as to certain provisions commonly included in warrants issued by special purpose acquisition companies, we, in consultation with our independent registered public accounting firm and our audit committee, and determined to revise our prior position and reclassify the Warrants as derivative liabilities measured at fair value, with changes in fair value each period reported in earnings.

As a result, included on our balance sheet as of June 30, 2021 contained elsewhere in this Quarterly Report are derivative liabilities related to our warrants. Accounting Standards Codification 815, Derivatives and Hedging, provides for the remeasurement of the fair value of such derivatives at each balance sheet date, with a resulting non-cash gain or loss related to the change in the fair value being recognized in earnings in the statement of operations. As a result of the recurring fair value measurement, our Financial Statements and results of operations may fluctuate quarterly, based on factors, which are outside of our control. Due to the recurring fair value measurement, we expect that we will recognize non-cash gains or losses on our warrants each reporting period and that the amount of such gains or losses could be material.

We have identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as of February 25, 2021. If we are unable to develop and maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results in a timely manner, which may adversely affect investor confidence in us and materially and adversely affect our business and operating results.

Following the issuance of the SEC Statement on April 12, 2021, after consultation with our independent registered public accounting firm, our management and our audit committee re-evaluated our accounting for our Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants issued in connection with the IPO and concluded that, in light of the SEC Statement, it was appropriate to revise our prior position on accounting for warrants as equity instruments to instead classify warrants as liabilities measured at fair value, with subsequent fair value remeasurement. (the “Reclassification”). See “—Our warrants are accounted for as liabilities and the changes in value of our warrants could have a material effect on our financial results.” As part of such process, we identified a material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis.

Effective internal controls are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and prevent fraud. We continue to evaluate steps to remediate the material weakness. These remediation measures may be time consuming and costly and there is no assurance that these initiatives will ultimately have the intended effects.

If we identify any new material weaknesses in the future, any such newly identified material weakness could limit our ability to prevent or detect a misstatement of our accounts or disclosures that could result in a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements. In such case, we may be unable to maintain compliance with securities law requirements regarding timely filing of periodic reports in addition to applicable stock exchange listing requirements, investors may lose confidence in our financial reporting and our stock price may decline as a result. We cannot assure you that the measures we have taken to date, or any measures we may take in the future, will be sufficient to avoid potential future material weaknesses.

We, and following the Business Combination, the post-Business Combination company, may face litigation and other risks as a result of the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting.

Following the issuance of the SEC Statement, after consultation with our independent registered public accounting firm, our management and our audit committee concluded that it was appropriate to revise our prior position on accounting for warrants as equity instruments to instead classify warrants as liabilities measured at fair value, with subsequent fair value remeasurement. See section entitled “—Ourwarrants are accounted for as liabilities and the changes in value of our warrants could have a material effect on our financial results.” As part of the Reclassification, we identified a material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting.

As a result of such material weakness, the Reclassification, and other matters raised or that may in the future be raised by the SEC, we face potential for litigation or other disputes which may include, among others, claims invoking the federal and state securities laws, contractual claims or other claims arising from the Reclassification and material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, we have no knowledge of any such litigation or dispute. However, we can provide no assurance that such litigation or dispute will not arise in the future. Any such litigation or dispute, whether successful or not, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition or our ability to complete a Business Combination.

ITEM 2.

UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS.

On February 25, 2021, we consummated our IPO of 27,600,000 Units, inclusive of underwriter’s election to fully exercise the over-allotment option for an additional 3,600,000 Units. The Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit, generating total gross proceeds of $276,000,000. Jefferies LLC acted as the book running manager of the offering. The securities sold in the offering were registered under the Securities Act on a registration statement on Form S-1 (No. 333-252626 and 333-253379). The SEC declared the registration statement effective on February 22, 2021.

Simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO and the full exercise of the over-allotment option, we consummated a private placement of 5,013,333 Private Placement Warrants to our Sponsor at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant, generating total proceeds of $7,520,000. Such securities were issued pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

The Private Placement Warrants are the same as the warrants underlying the Units sold in the IPO, except that Private Placement Warrants are not transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions. Additionally, the Private Placement Warrants are exercisable on a cashless basis and are non-redeemable so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees.

Of the gross proceeds received from the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, $276,000,000 was placed in the Trust Account.

We paid a total of $5,520,000 underwriting discounts and commissions and $495,247 for other costs and expenses related to the IPO. In addition, the underwriter agreed to defer $9,660,000 in underwriting discounts and commissions.

For a description of the use of the proceeds generated in our IPO, see Part I, Item 2 of this Quarterly Report.
