As more fully described in Item 4 below, the securities reported on this Statement reflect the consummation of a business combination contemplated by the Merger Agreement (as defined below) and the transactions consummated in connection therewith.

A copy of the Merger Agreement, is included as Exhibit 1 hereto and is incorporated by reference herein.

The beneficial ownership information that follows is as of July 16, 2021.

(a)

Finback Evolv may be deemed to beneficially own an aggregate of 11,175,821 shares of Class A Common Stock, which constitutes approximately 7.9% of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock, calculated in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Act (based on 142,260,102 shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding as of July 16, 2021, as set forth in the Closing 8-K).

Finback Evolv OBH may be deemed to beneficially own an aggregate of 126,136 shares of Class A Common Stock, which constitutes approximately .1% of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock, calculated in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Act (based on 142,260,102 shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding as of July 16, 2021, as set forth in the Closing 8-K).

Finback Evolv II may be deemed to beneficially own an aggregate of 1,708,603 shares of Class A Common Stock, which constitutes approximately 1.2% of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock, calculated in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Act (based on 142,260,102 shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding as of July 16, 2021, as set forth in the Closing 8-K).

The number of shares of Class A Common Stock set forth in this Statement excludes an aggregate of 1,811,584 shares of Class A Common Stock (the “Earn-Out Shares”) that may be issued to the Reporting Persons pursuant to Section 2.8 of the Merger Agreement, and excludes 2,421,199 shares of Class A Common Stock that may be issued pursuant to a Class A Common Warrant issued to the Finback Evolv OBH (the “Warrant Shares”). The Earn-Out Shares will be released to the Reporting Persons, and the Warrant Shares will be released to Finback Evolv OBH, if certain conditions described more fully in the Merger Agreement are satisfied.

By virtue of the relationship described herein, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to constitute a “group” within the meaning of Rule 13d-5 under the Act.
