The information required by Items 4(a)-(c) is set forth in Rows 1 and 5 through 11 of the cover page for each Reporting Person and is incorporated herein by reference for each such Reporting Person. The beneficial ownership percentage for each Reporting Person is based on 34,253,333 of the Issuer’s common shares outstanding as of November 12, 2021.
FTAC Parnassus Sponsor, LLC (“FTAC Sponsor”) is the direct beneficial owner of 345,000 shares of the Issuer’s Class A common stock and 1,825,000 shares of the Issuer’s Class B common stock. FTAC Parnassus Advisors, LLC (“Advisors” and together with FTAC Sponsor, the “Sponsors”) is the direct beneficial owner of 7,083,333 shares of the Issuer’s Class B common stock. The shares of Class B common stock held by the Sponsors will automatically convert into shares of Class A common stock at the time of the Issuer's initial business combination on a one-for-one basis, subject to certain adjustments described in the Issuer's charter documents.
Each Sponsor is co-managed by Mr. Gilbert and Mr. Cohen.
