PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS
DATED MAY 3, 2022
LIONHEART ACQUISITION CORPORATION II
4218 NE 2nd Avenue
Miami, Florida 33137
Dear Stockholder:
On July 11, 2021, Lionheart Acquisition Corporation II, a Delaware corporation (“we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company”), entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (as it may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with its terms, the “MIPA”) by and among the Company, Lionheart II Holdings, LLC, a newly formed wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Opco”), the MSP Purchased Companies (as defined in the MIPA) (collectively, “MSP”), the members of MSP (the “Members”), and John H. Ruiz, in his capacity as the representative of the Members (the “Members’ Representative”).
Pursuant to the MIPA, the Members will sell and assign all of their membership interests in MSP to Opco in exchange for non-economic voting shares of Class V common stock, par value $0.0001, of the Company (“Class V Common Stock”) and non-voting economic Class B Units of Opco (“Class B Units,” and each pair consisting of one share of Class V Common Stock and one Class B Unit, an “Up-C Unit”) or, pursuant to notice delivered to the Company, with respect to all or a portion of the Up-C Units to be received by each such Member, one share of Class A Common Stock in lieu of each Up-C Unit (such transaction, the “Business Combination”).
Following the closing of the Business Combination (the “Closing”), the Company will be organized in an “Up-C” structure in which the business of MSP and its subsidiaries will be held directly or indirectly by Opco, and the Company will own all of the voting economic Class A Units of Opco and the Members and their designees will own all of the non-voting economic Class B Units in accordance with the terms of the first amended and restated limited liability company agreement of Opco (the “LLC Agreement”) to be entered into at the Closing. Each Up-C Unit may be exchanged for either, at the Company’s option, (a) cash or (b) one share of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001, of the Company (“Class A Common Stock”), subject to the provisions set forth in the LLC Agreement.
Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the MIPA, the aggregate consideration to be paid to the Members (or their designees) will consist of (i) 3,250,000,000 Up-C Units and (ii) rights to receive payments under the tax receivable agreement to be entered into at the Closing. Of the Up-C Units to be issued to certain Members at the Closing, 6,000,000 (the “Escrow Units”) will be deposited into an escrow account with Continental Stock Transfer and Trust Company to satisfy any indemnification claims that may be brought pursuant to the MIPA.
In connection with the Business Combination, and to provide additional consideration to holders of Class A Common Stock that do not redeem their shares of Class A Common Stock, the Company intends, subject to compliance with applicable law, to declare a dividend comprising an aggregate of approximately 1,029,000,000 newly issued warrants, each to purchase one share of Class A Common Stock for an exercise price of $11.50 per share (the “New Warrants”), conditioned upon the consummation of any redemptions by the holders of Class A Common Stock and the Closing, to the holders of record of the Class A Common Stock as of the close of business on the date of Closing (the “Closing Date”), which is expected to include the 5,750,000 shares of Class A Common Stock into which Founder Shares will convert in connection with the Business Combination, after giving effect to the waiver of the right, title and interest in, to or under, participation in any such dividend by the Members, on behalf of themselves and any of their designees. The number of New Warrants to be distributed in respect of each share of unredeemed Class A Common Stock is contingent upon, and will vary with, the aggregate number of shares of Class A Common Stock that are redeemed in connection with the Business Combination. Assuming no additional redemptions (after giving effect to the redemption of 10,946,369 shares of Class A Common Stock in connection with the Company stockholder vote to approve the amendment to the Company’s charter to extend the date by which the Company must complete an initial business combination from February 18, 2022 to August 18, 2022) (the “no redemption scenario”) and that the distribution is made, holders of Class A Common Stock who do not redeem their shares would receive at least 55 New Warrants per share of Class A Common Stock they hold, which would proportionally increase if other holders elect to redeem their shares of Class A Common Stock. Pursuant to the terms of the LLC Agreement, at least twice a month, to the extent any New Warrants have been exercised in accordance with their terms, the Company following the Business Combination is required to purchase from the MSP Principals (as defined in the LLC Agreement), proportionately, the number of Up-C Units or shares of Class A Common Stock owned by such MSP Principal equal to the aggregate amount of the exercise price received in connection with exercise of the New Warrants during an applicable period (the “Aggregate Exercise Price”) divided by the Warrant Exercise Price (as defined in the LLC Agreement) in exchange for the Aggregate Exercise Price. For more information, see the LLC Agreement attached hereto as Annex D. Pursuant to the terms of the Existing Warrant Agreement (as defined in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus), the exercise price of the Public Warrants and Private Warrants could decrease to $0.0001 after giving effect to the issuance of the New Warrants.
Following the Closing, the Company will have two classes of authorized common stock. The shares of Class A Common Stock and the shares of Class V Common Stock each will be entitled to one vote per share on matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. Holders of the Class V Common Stock will not have any of the economic rights in the Company (including rights to dividends and distributions upon liquidation) provided to holders of the Class A Common Stock. Holders of Class V Common Stock will also hold Class B Units, and will have economic rights in Opco. Following the Closing, assuming the no redemption scenario and excluding the impact of any outstanding warrants or New Warrants, John H. Ruiz, the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and founder of MSP will control approximately 65.22% of the combined voting power of the capital stock of the Company, and Frank C. Quesada, the Chief Legal Officer (“CLO”) of MSP, will control approximately 27.36% of the combined voting power of the capital stock of the Company (in each case, assuming no attributed ownership based on Messrs. Ruiz and Quesada’s investment in VRM) (See “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions” beginning on page 247). Such ownership percentages will be affected by the level of redemptions by Public Stockholders and the exercise of outstanding warrants or New Warrants. See “Summary—Ownership of the Post-Combination Company.”
In connection with the Closing, the Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (the “Class B Common Stock”), issued prior to the initial public offering of the Company, held by our sponsor, Lionheart Equities, LLC (the “Sponsor”), and certain other Company stockholders will automatically convert into shares of Class A Common Stock on a one-for-one basis. The Sponsor, Nomura, MSP, the Members and/or their respective affiliates may purchase shares of Class A Common Stock on the open market. Such purchases (“Open Market Purchases”) will be made prior to the Special Meeting and will be separate from the redemption process conducted in connection with the Business Combination. The purposes of any Open Market Purchases would be to reduce the number of shares of Class A Common Stock that may be redeemed in connection with the Business Combination, and may include a business decision to increase such purchaser’s ownership at an attractive price. The Sponsor, Nomura, MSP, the Members and/or their respective affiliates shall only make Open Market Purchases to the extent the price per Class A Common Stock so acquired is no higher than the redemption price that would be available in connection with the redemption procedures described in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus. In addition, the Sponsor, Nomura, MSP, the Members and/or their respective affiliates will waive any redemption rights with respect to any shares of Class A Common Stock purchased in Open Market Purchases and will not vote any shares of Class A Common Stock purchased in Open Market Purchases in favor of the Proposals. In addition, the Sponsor and certain members of our board of directors and/or management team have agreed to (a) vote all of their shares of Class B Common Stock and all of their shares of Class A Common Stock in favor of the Business Combination and each other proposal described in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus (collectively, the “Proposals”), (b) certain restrictions on their shares of Class A Common Stock and (c) in the case of the Sponsor, bear any transaction costs in excess of $60,000,000 that are allocable to the Company in accordance with the MIPA. However, we intend to waive such obligations of the Sponsor, our directors and/or our officers to vote their shares of common stock in favor of the Proposals in respect of any shares purchased by such purchasers in Open Market Purchases.

Additionally, in connection with the Business Combination, the Company intends, subject to compliance with applicable law, to declare a dividend comprising approximately 1,029,000,000 newly issued warrants, each to purchase one share of Class A Common Stock for an exercise price of $11.50 per share (the “New Warrants”), conditioned upon the consummation of any redemptions by the holders of Class A Common Stock and the Closing, to the holders of record of the Class A Common Stock as of the close of business on the date of Closing (the “Closing Date”), after giving effect to the waiver of the right, title and interest in, to or under, participation in any such dividend by the Members, on behalf of themselves and any of their designees. Following the Closing, the Company will have two classes of authorized common stock. The shares of Class A Common Stock and Class V Common Stock each will be entitled to one vote per share on matters submitted to a vote of stockholders.

Ruiz, the CEO and founder of MSP, and Frank C. Quesada, the CLO of MSP, will together control approximately 92.58% of the combined voting power of the capital stock of the Company (assuming no attributed ownership based on Messrs. Ruiz and Quesada’s investment in VRM) (the “Business Combination Proposal”). Such ownership percentages will be affected by the level of redemptions by Public Stockholders and the exercise of outstanding warrants or New Warrants. See “Summary—Ownership of the Post- Combination Company”;
(2)

(7)
The Adjournment Proposal—To consider and vote upon a proposal to approve the adjournment of the Special Meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, (A) to ensure that any supplement or amendment to the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus that the Board of Directors of the Company (the “LCAP Board”) has determined in good faith is required by applicable law to be disclosed to Company stockholders and for such supplement or amendment to be promptly disseminated to Company stockholders prior to the Special Meeting, (B) if, as of the time for which the Special Meeting is originally scheduled, there are insufficient shares of common stock represented (either in person or by proxy) to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct business at the Special Meeting or (C) to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies if there are insufficient votes for, or otherwise in connection with, the approval of the Business Combination Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal, the Charter Approval Proposal, the Director Election Proposal or the Incentive Plan Proposal (the “Adjournment Proposal” and, together with the Business Combination Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal, the Charter Approval Proposal, the Non-Binding Governance Proposals, the Director Election Proposal and the Equity Incentive Plan Proposal, each, a “Proposal” and collectively, the “Proposals”).
These items of business are described in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus, which we encourage you to read in its entirety before voting. Only holders of record of our common stock at the close of business on April 18, 2022 (the “Record Date”) are entitled to notice of the Special Meeting and to vote and have their votes counted at the Special Meeting and any adjournments or postponements of the Special Meeting.
Pursuant to our Existing Charter, we will provide holders of our Class A Common Stock with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares for cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount on deposit in the Trust Account, which holds the proceeds of our initial public offering, as of two business days prior to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Proposal (including interest not previously released to us to pay its taxes). For illustrative purposes, based on funds in the Trust Account of approximately $230.0 million on December 31, 2021, the estimated per share redemption price would have been approximately $10.00, excluding interest not previously released to us to pay our taxes. The Company originally had until February 18, 2022 to complete a business combination. On January 27, 2022, after approval by the Company’s stockholders of the Extension Amendment at a special meeting of the Company’s stockholders, we filed the Extension Amendment to our Existing Charter with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, to extend the date by which we must consummate an initial business combination from February 18, 2022 to August 18, 2022. In connection with the stockholder vote to approve the Extension Amendment, an aggregate of 10,946,369 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock were redeemed, and approximately $109,469,789 was withdrawn out of the Trust Account to pay for such redemption leaving approximately $120.5 million remaining in our Trust Account to consummate a business combination or to fund any additional redemptions that could be requested as more fully provided herein. In connection with the Extension (as defined in the proxy statement/prospectus accompanying this notice), the Company will deposit into the Trust Account of $0.0333 (each deposit being referred to herein as a “Deposit”) for each Public Share that was not converted in connection with the stockholder vote to approve the Extension, for each monthly period, or portion thereof, that is needed by the Company to complete the Business Combination from and after February 18, 2022 and through and including the earlier to occur of (i) consummation of the Business Combination and (ii) August 18, 2022. Alternatively, if the Company does not have the funds necessary to make the Deposit, the Sponsor has agreed that it and/or any of its affiliates or designees will contribute to the Company as a loan (each loan being referred to herein as a “Contribution”) $0.0333 for each Public Share that was not converted in connection with the stockholder vote to approve the Extension, for each monthly period, or portion thereof, that is needed by the Company to complete the Business Combination from and after February 18, 2022 and through and including the earlier to occur of (i) consummation of the Business Combination and (ii) August 18, 2022. Accordingly, if the Company takes until August 18, 2022 to complete the Business Combination, which would represent six monthly periods, the Company or the Sponsor would make Deposits or Contributions of $401,386 per month, or an aggregate of $2,408,315. Each Deposit or Contribution will be placed in the trust account within two business days prior to the beginning of the applicable monthly period (or portion thereof), other than the first Deposit or Contribution which will be made on or about the day of the effectiveness of the Extension Amendment. Accordingly, if the Company takes the full time through August 18, 2022 to complete the Business Combination, the conversion amount per share at the special meeting for such business combination or the Company’s subsequent liquidation will be approximately $10.20 per share (without taking into account any interest), in comparison to the current conversion amount of approximately $10.00 per share.
Public stockholders may elect to redeem their shares even if they vote “FOR” the Business Combination Proposal. A holder of Public Shares, together with any affiliate of such holder or any other person with whom such holder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from seeking redemption rights with respect to more than 15% of the Public Shares without our prior consent. Accordingly, all Public Shares in excess of 15% held by a Public Stockholder, together with any affiliate of such holder or any other person with whom such holder is acting in concert or as a “group,” will not be redeemed for cash without our prior consent. Each redemption of shares by Public Stockholders will decrease the amount in the Trust Account. We will not consummate the Business Combination if the redemption of shares would result in the Company’s failure to have at least $5,000,001 of net tangible assets. Lionheart Equities, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”) and our directors and officers have entered into a letter agreement with us pursuant to which they agreed to waive their redemption rights in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination with respect to any shares of common stock they may hold. Nomura Securities International, Inc. (“Nomura”), the underwriter of our IPO (as defined herein), has also agreed to waive its redemption rights with respect to the Public Shares held by it, other than Public Shares held directly or indirectly by it on behalf of a third-party client. The Sponsor, Nomura, MSP, the Members and/or their respective affiliates may purchase shares of Class A Common Stock on the open market. Such purchases (“Open Market Purchases”) will be made prior to the Special Meeting and will be separate from the redemption process conducted in connection with the Business Combination. The purposes of any Open Market Purchases would be to reduce the number of shares of Class A Common Stock that may be redeemed in connection with the Business Combination, and may include a business decision to increase such

purchaser’s ownership at an attractive price. The Sponsor, Nomura, MSP, the Members and/or their respective affiliates shall only make Open Market Purchases to the extent the price per Class A Common Stock so acquired is no higher than the redemption price that would be available in connection with the redemption procedures described in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus. In addition, the Sponsor, Nomura, MSP, the Members and/or their respective affiliates will waive any redemption rights with respect to any shares of Class A Common Stock purchased in Open Market Purchases and will not vote any shares of Class A Common Stock purchased in Open Market Purchases in favor of the Proposals. Currently, the Initial Stockholders (as defined herein) own 34.7% of our common stock, consisting of the Founder Shares and the Private Shares (each, as defined herein). Founder Shares and Private Shares will be excluded from the pro rata calculation used to determine the per-share redemption price. We have entered into a letter agreement with the Sponsor and our directors and officers, pursuant to which, among other things, each such person has agreed to vote all shares of our common stock owned by them in favor of the Proposals. However, we intend to waive such obligations of the Sponsor, our directors and/or our officers to vote their shares of common stock in favor of the Proposals in respect of any shares purchased by such purchasers in Open Market Purchases. Nomura has agreed to vote any shares of our common stock held by it in favor of the Business Combination. However, we intend to waive such obligations of Nomura to vote their shares of common stock in favor of the Proposals in respect of any shares purchased by Nomura in Open Market Purchases. In addition, Nomura has contingent fees owing to it upon the successful completion of the Business Combination consisting of (a) an M&A fee of $20 million and (b) deferred underwriting fees of approximately $4.4 million.
After careful consideration, the LCAP Board has determined that the Business Combination Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal, the Charter Approval Proposal, the Non-Binding Governance Proposals, the Director Election Proposal, the Incentive Plan Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal are fair to and in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders and unanimously recommends that you vote or give instruction to vote “FOR” the Business Combination Proposal, “FOR” the Nasdaq Proposal, “FOR” the Charter Approval Proposal, “FOR” the Non-Binding Governance Proposals, “FOR” the Director Election Proposal, “FOR” the Incentive Plan Proposal and “FOR” the Adjournment Proposal, if presented.
The approval of each of the Business Combination Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal, the Non-Binding Governance Proposals, the Incentive Plan Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal, if presented, requires the affirmative vote (in person or by proxy) of the holders of a majority of the shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock entitled to vote and actually cast thereon at the Special Meeting, voting as a single class. The approval of the Charter Approval Proposal requires the affirmative vote (in person or by proxy) of (i) the holders of a majority of the Class A Common Stock then outstanding, voting separately as a single class, (ii) the holders of a majority of the Class B Common Stock then outstanding, voting separately as a single class, and (iii) the holders of a majority of the shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock entitled to vote, voting as a single class.
The approval of the Director Election Proposal requires the affirmative vote (in person or by proxy) of the holders of a plurality of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock entitled to vote and actually cast thereon at the Special Meeting, voting as a single class.
Consummation of the Business Combination is conditioned on the approval of the Business Combination Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal, the Charter Approval Proposal, the Director Election Proposal and the Incentive Plan Proposal at the Special Meeting, subject to the terms of the MIPA. The Business Combination is not conditioned on the Non-Binding Governance Proposals or the Adjournment Proposal. If the Business Combination Proposal is not approved, the other proposals (except the Adjournment Proposal) will not be presented to the stockholders for a vote.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE BUSINESS COMBINATION
Q:
WHAT IS THE BUSINESS COMBINATION?
A:
Pursuant to the MIPA, the Members will sell and assign all of their membership interests in MSP to Opco in exchange for Up-C Units (or shares of Class A Common Stock). Following the Closing, the Company will be organized in an “Up-C” structure in which all of the business of MSP and its subsidiaries will be held directly or indirectly by Opco, and the Company will own all of the voting economic Class A Units of Opco and the Members or their designees will own all of the non-voting economic Class B Units of Opco in accordance with the terms of the LLC Agreement. Each Up-C Unit may be exchanged for either, at the Company’s option, (a) cash or (b) one share of Class A Common Stock, subject to the provisions set forth in the LLC Agreement. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the MIPA, the aggregate consideration to be paid to the Members (or their designees) will consist of (i) 3,250,000,000 Up-C Units and (ii) rights to receive payments under the tax receivable agreement to be entered into at the Closing. Of the Up-C Units to be issued to certain Members at Closing, 6,000,000 will be deposited into an escrow account with Continental Stock Transfer and Trust Company, to satisfy any indemnification claims that may be brought pursuant to the MIPA. Additionally, in connection with the Business Combination and to provide additional consideration to holders of Class A Common Stock that do not redeem their shares of Class A Common Stock, the Company intends, subject to compliance with applicable law, to declare a dividend comprising an aggregate of approximately 1,029,000,000 New Warrants, conditioned upon the consummation of any redemptions by the holders of Class A Common Stock and the Closing, to the holders of record of the Class A Common Stock as of the Closing Date, after giving effect to the waiver of the right, title and interest in, to or under, participation in any such dividend by the Members, on behalf of themselves and any of their designees. Following the Closing, the Company will have two classes of authorized common stock. The shares of Class A Common Stock and Class V Common Stock each will be entitled to one vote per share on matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. The holders of the Class V Common Stock will not have any of the economic rights (including rights to dividends and distributions upon liquidation) provided to holders of the Class A Common Stock. Following the Closing, assuming the no redemption scenario and excluding the impact on any outstanding warrants and New Warrants, John H. Ruiz, the CEO and founder of MSP, and Frank C. Quesada, the CLO of MSP, will together control approximately 92.58% of the combined voting power of the capital stock of the Company (assuming no attributed ownership based on Messrs. Ruiz and Quesada’s investment in VRM) (See “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions” beginning on page 247). Such ownership percentage will be affected by the level of redemptions by Public Stockholders and the exercise of outstanding warrants or New Warrants. See “Summary—Ownership of the Post-Combination Company.
Q:
WHY AM I RECEIVING THIS DOCUMENT?
A:
The Company is sending this proxy statement/prospectus to its stockholders to help them decide how to vote their shares of the Company’s common stock with respect to the matters to be considered at the Special Meeting. The Business Combination cannot be completed unless Company stockholders approve the Business Combination Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal, the Charter Approval Proposal, the Incentive Plan Proposal and the Director Election Proposal set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus for their approval. Information about the Special Meeting, the Business Combination and the other business to be considered by stockholders at the Special Meeting is contained in this proxy statement/prospectus. This document constitutes a proxy statement of the Company and a prospectus of the Company. It is a proxy statement because the LCAP Board is soliciting proxies from its stockholders using this proxy statement/prospectus.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

This proxy statement/prospectus and its Annexes contain important information about the proposed Business Combination and the other matters to be acted upon at the Special Meeting. Your vote is important. You are encouraged to submit your proxy as soon as possible after carefully reviewing this proxy statement/prospectus and its Annexes.
Q:
WHAT WILL MSP’S MEMBERS RECEIVE IN THE BUSINESS COMBINATION?
A:
Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the MIPA, the aggregate consideration to be paid to the Members (or their designees) will consist of (i) 3,250,000,000 Up-C Units or, pursuant to notice delivered to the Company, with respect to all or a portion of the Up-C Units to be received by each such Member, one share of Class A Common Stock in lieu of each Up-C Unit and (ii) rights to receive payments under the tax receivable agreement to be entered into at the Closing. Of the Up-C Units to be issued to certain Members at Closing, 6,000,000 will be deposited into an escrow account with Continental Stock Transfer and Trust Company to satisfy any indemnification claims that may be brought pursuant to the MIPA.
Q:
WHEN DO YOU EXPECT THE BUSINESS COMBINATION TO BE COMPLETED?
A:
It is currently anticipated that the Business Combination will be consummated promptly following the Special Meeting, which is set for May 18, 2022; however, such meeting could be adjourned, as described herein. Neither the Company nor MSP can assure you of when or if the Business Combination will be completed and it is possible that factors outside of the control of both companies could result in the Business Combination being completed at a different time or not at all. Prior to the Closing, the Company must obtain the approval of its stockholders for certain of the proposals set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus for their approval and the Company and MSP must obtain certain necessary regulatory approvals and satisfy other closing conditions. See “The Membership Interest Purchase Agreement — Conditions to the Business Combination” beginning on page 223.
Q:
WHAT HAPPENS IF THE BUSINESS COMBINATION IS NOT COMPLETED?
A:
If the Business Combination Proposal is not approved and we do not consummate a business combination by August 18, 2022, we will be required to dissolve and liquidate our Trust Account, unless we amend our current certificate of incorporation (which requires the affirmative vote of the holders of 65% of all then outstanding shares of common stock) and amend certain other agreements into which we have entered to extend the life of the Company.
Q:
HOW WILL THE COMPANY BE MANAGED AND GOVERNED FOLLOWING THE BUSINESS COMBINATION?
A:
The Company does not currently have any management-level employees other than Ophir Sternberg, our Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, Paul Rapisarda, our Chief Financial Officer, and Faquiry Diaz Cala, our Chief Operating Officer. Following the Closing, the Company’s executive officers are expected to be the current management team of MSP. See “Management of the Post-Combination Company Following the Business Combination” for more information.
Following the Closing, the Board will consist of the following seven members: John H. Ruiz, Frank C. Quesada, Ophir Sternberg, Beatriz Assapimonwait, Michael Arrigo, Thomas W. Hawkins and Roger Meltzer. In addition, following the Closing, we expect that a majority of the directors will be “independent” under applicable Nasdaq listing rules. See the section entitled “Management of the Post-Combination Company Following the Business Combination” beginning on page 178 for more information.
Q:
WHAT EQUITY STAKE WILL CURRENT STOCKHOLDERS, THE INITIAL STOCKHOLDERS, AND THE MEMBERS HOLD IN THE POST-COMBINATION COMPANY?
A:
It is anticipated that, upon completion of the Business Combination, and assuming (1) the no redemption scenario and (2) that the holders of the Company’s existing Public Warrants and Private Warrants exercise those warrants, and no New Warrants are exercised: (i) the Public Stockholders will retain approximately 0.4% of the common stock of the Post-Combination Company; (ii) the Initial Stockholders will retain approximately 0.2% of the common stock of the Post-Combination Company; and (iii) the Members (or their designees) will acquire

approximately 99.1% of the common stock of the Post-Combination Company. Such ownership percentages will be affected by the level of redemptions by Public Stockholders and the exercise of outstanding warrants or New Warrants. See “Summary—Ownership of the Post-Combination Company.
Q:
FOLLOWING THE BUSINESS COMBINATION, WILL THE COMPANY’S COMMON STOCK CONTINUE TO TRADE ON A STOCK EXCHANGE?
A:
Yes. We intend to apply to continue the listing of our publicly traded Class A Common Stock and Public Warrants on Nasdaq under the symbols “MSPR” and “LCAPW,” respectively, and apply to list the New Warrants under the symbol “MSPRW,” upon the closing of the Business Combination. If issued, the New Warrants are expected to trade promptly following their issuance. At the Closing, each Unit will separate into its components, comprising one share of Class A Common Stock and one-half of one Public Warrant. Following the Closing, we intend to change our name from “Lionheart Acquisition Corporation II” to “MSP Recovery, Inc.”
Q:
WHAT ARE THE PRINCIPAL DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE COMPANY’S CLASS A COMMON STOCK AND CLASS V COMMON STOCK?
A:
Each holder of record of Class A Common Stock and Class V Common Stock on the relevant record date will be entitled to cast one vote for each share of Class A Common Stock or Class V Common Stock, respectively. Holders of the Class V Common Stock will not have any of the economic rights (including rights to dividends and distributions upon liquidation) provided to holders of the Class A Common Stock. For more information, please see the section entitled “Description of Securities.”
Q:

Proposal No. 4B: Dual-Class Stock—To provide for a capital structure pursuant to which, subject to applicable law and the rights, if any, of the holders of any outstanding series of Preferred Stock, the holders of outstanding shares of common stock of the Company will vote together as a single class on all matters with respect to which stockholders of the Company are entitled to vote under applicable law, the Proposed Charter or the Amended and Restated Bylaws, or upon which a vote of the stockholders generally entitled to vote is otherwise duly called for by the Company; provided, however, that except as may otherwise be required by applicable law, each holder of outstanding shares of common stock of the Company will not be entitled to vote on any amendment to the Proposed Charter that relates solely to the terms of one or more outstanding series of Preferred Stock (including, without limitation, the powers (including voting powers), if any, preferences and relative, participating, optional, special or other rights, if any, and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions, if any, of such series of Preferred Stock), if the holders of such affected series are entitled, either voting separately as a single class or together as a class with the holders of any other outstanding series of Preferred Stock, to vote thereon pursuant to the Proposed Charter or the DGCL. In each such vote, the holders of Class A Common Stock and holders of Class V Common Stock will be entitled to one vote per share of Class A Common Stock or Class V Common Stock, respectively, including the election of directors and significant corporate transactions (such as a merger or other sale of the Company or its assets).
Proposal No. 4C: Removal of Directors—To provide that any director or the entire Board may be removed (i) at any time prior to the Voting Rights Threshold Date by a simple majority voting together as a single class, with or without cause, notwithstanding the classification of the Board, and (ii) at any time from and after the Voting Rights Threshold Date, solely for cause and only by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 6623% of the voting power of all of the then outstanding shares of the Corporation generally entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class.
Proposal No. 4D: Required Stockholder Vote to Amend Certain Sections of the Proposed Charter—To provide that, from and after the Voting Rights Threshold Date, in addition to any affirmative vote required by applicable law, the approval by affirmative vote of the holders of at least 6623% in voting power of the then outstanding shares of the Company generally entitled to vote is required to make any amendment to Article Seventh (Board of Directors) or Article Eighth (Written Consent of Stockholders) of the Proposed Charter.
Proposal No 4E: Required Stockholder Vote to Amend the Amended and Restated Bylaws—To provide that, in addition to any affirmative vote required by the Proposed Charter, any bylaw that is to be made, altered, amended or repealed by the stockholders of the Company shall receive, at any time (i) prior to the Voting Rights Threshold Date, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority in voting power of the then outstanding shares of the Company generally entitled to vote, voting

together as a single class, and (ii) from and after the Voting Rights Threshold Date, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 6623% in voting power of the then outstanding shares of stock of the Company generally entitled to vote, voting together as a single class.
See the section entitled “Proposal No. 4 — The Non-Binding Governance Proposals.”
A proposal to elect seven directors to serve on the Board until the first annual meeting of stockholders following the Business Combination, in the case of Class I directors, the second annual meeting of stockholders following the Business Combination, in the case of Class II directors, and the third annual meeting of stockholders following the Business Combination, in the case of Class III directors, and, in each case, until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified. See the section entitled “Proposal No. 5 — The Director Election Proposal.”
A proposal to approve and adopt the MSP Recovery, Inc. 2022 Omnibus Incentive Plan, a copy of which is attached hereto as Annex J. See the section entitled “Proposal No. 6 — The Incentive Plan Proposal.”
A proposal to approve the adjournment of the Special Meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, (A) to ensure that any supplement or amendment to the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus that the LCAP Board has determined in good faith is required by applicable law to be disclosed to Company stockholders and for such supplement or amendment to be promptly disseminated to Company stockholders prior to the Special Meeting, (B) if, as of the time for which the Special Meeting is originally scheduled, there are insufficient shares of common stock represented (either in person or by proxy) to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct business at the Special Meeting or (C) to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies if there are insufficient votes for, or otherwise in connection with, the approval of the Business Combination Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal, the Charter Approval Proposal, the Director Election Proposal or the Incentive Plan Proposal. See the section entitled “Proposal No. 7 — The Adjournment Proposal.”
The vote of stockholders is important. Stockholders are encouraged to vote as soon as possible after carefully reviewing this proxy statement/prospectus.
Q:
ARE THE PROPOSALS CONDITIONED ON ONE ANOTHER?
A:
Yes. The Closing is conditioned on the approval of each of the Business Combination Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal, the Charter Approval Proposal, the Director Election Proposal and the Incentive Plan Proposal at the Special Meeting, subject to the terms of the MIPA. If any of these proposals are not approved, we will not consummate the Business Combination. If the Business Combination Proposal is not approved, the other Proposals (except the Adjournment Proposal, as described below) will not be presented to the stockholders for a vote. The Adjournment Proposal is not conditioned on the approval of any other proposal set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus. If we do not consummate the Business Combination and fail to complete an initial business combination by August 18, 2022, we will be required to dissolve and liquidate our Trust Account by returning the then remaining funds in such account to the Public Stockholders.
Q:
WHAT IS MSP’S BUSINESS?
A:
MSP is a healthcare recovery and data analytics company. MSP has also developed software that solves many of the issues currently being experienced by doctors, hospitals as well as other healthcare practitioners as well as payers within the healthcare system. The MSP systems provide a platform for providers to identify proper payers at the time of patient encounter and to collect payment more quickly, at higher amounts. MSP’s agreements allow for MSP to monetize the claims that are processed and properly identified. MSP has also identified systemic issues relating to police reporting at the time of auto accidents and is developing software to solve these issues. This software system, using blockchain technology, will involve proper capture of data to help first responders to identify health conditions at the scene of accidents and transmit that data for improved patient care. MSP’s system will also enable individuals to access their health care data, which will be encrypted and stored and accessed through a cloud. Individuals can then choose to grant immediate data access to their healthcare practitioners, for healthcare services based on up-to-date patient medical information. MSP’s business model includes two principal lines of business: (a) claims recovery and (b) “chase to pay” services. First, through the claims recovery services, MSP acquires claims from its Assignors and utilizes its data analytics services to identify improper payments for healthcare services. After identifying improper payments, MSP then seeks to recover the amounts owed to its Assignors from those parties who, under applicable law or contract,
xii

TABLE OF CONTENTS

were primarily responsible for payment. Second, MSP has been developing the process of a real-time data analytics platform (“Chase to Pay”) to assist healthcare providers to identify the proper primary insurer at the point of care, thereby helping MSP’s clients avoid making a wrongful payment for services rendered by a provider, as well as providing more efficient healthcare services. See the section entitled “Information About MSP” beginning on page 148 for more information.
Q:
WHY IS THE COMPANY PROPOSING THE BUSINESS COMBINATION?
A:
The Company was organized to effect a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization, or other similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities.
On August 18, 2020, the Company completed its initial public offering of the Public Units raising total gross proceeds of $230.0 million. Simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO, the Company completed a private placement of the Private Units to the Sponsor and Nomura, raising total gross proceeds of $6.5 million. Since the IPO, the Company’s activity has been limited to the evaluation of business combination candidates.
Based on its due diligence investigations of MSP and the industry in which it operates, including the financial and other information provided by MSP in the course of their negotiations in connection with the MIPA, the LCAP Board has unanimously determined that the Business Combination with MSP is fair and advisable to, and in the best interests of, the Company and its stockholders. See the section entitled “The Business Combination — Recommendation of the LCAP Board and Reasons for the Business Combination.
Q:
DID THE LCAP BOARD OBTAIN A FAIRNESS OPINION IN DETERMINING WHETHER OR NOT TO PROCEED WITH THE BUSINESS COMBINATION?
A:
No. Neither the LCAP Board nor any committee thereof is required to obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking or accounting firm that the Business Combination is fair to us from a financial point of view. Neither the LCAP Board nor any committee thereof obtained a third-party valuation in connection with the Business Combination. In analyzing the Business Combination, the Company and its representatives and professional advisors conducted extensive due diligence on MSP and the financial terms set forth in the MIPA. Based on the foregoing, the LCAP Board unanimously determined that the Business Combination was fair and advisable to, and in the best interest of, the Company and its stockholders.
Q:
WHY IS THE COMPANY PROVIDING STOCKHOLDERS WITH THE OPPORTUNITY TO VOTE ON THE BUSINESS COMBINATION?
A:
We are seeking approval of the Business Combination for purposes of complying with our Existing Charter and applicable Nasdaq listing rules requiring stockholder approval of issuances of more than 20% of a listed company’s issued and outstanding common stock and voting power. In addition, pursuant to the Existing Charter, we must provide all Public Stockholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the consummation of an initial business combination (as defined in our Existing Charter), either in conjunction with a tender offer or in conjunction with a stockholder vote to approve such initial business combination. If we submit an initial business combination to the stockholders for their approval, our Existing Charter requires us to conduct a redemption offer in conjunction with the proxy solicitation (and not in conjunction with a tender offer) pursuant to the applicable SEC proxy solicitation rules.
Q:
DO MSP’S MEMBERS NEED TO APPROVE THE BUSINESS COMBINATION?
A:
Although the Closing is subject to various actions by the Members, the Members are each party to the MIPA and, as such, have already provided their approval for the Business Combination in their capacity as equityholders of the MSP Purchased Companies.
Q:
DO I HAVE REDEMPTION RIGHTS?
A:
If you are a holder of Public Shares, you have the right to demand that the Company redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the cash held in the Trust Account, which holds the proceeds of the IPO, as of two business days prior to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Proposal (including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay taxes) upon the Closing (“Redemption Rights”).
xiii

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a holder of Public Shares, together with any affiliate of such holder or any other person with whom such holder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) will be restricted from seeking redemption with respect to more than 15% of the Public Shares without our consent. Accordingly, all Public Shares in excess of 15% held by a Public Stockholder, together with any affiliate of such stockholder or any other person with whom such holder is acting in concert or as a “group,” will not be redeemed without our consent.
Under the Existing Charter, the Business Combination may be consummated only if the Company has at least $5,000,001 of net tangible assets after giving effect to all redemption requests from holders of Public Shares that properly demand redemption of their shares for cash.
Q:
WILL MY VOTE AFFECT MY ABILITY TO EXERCISE REDEMPTION RIGHTS?
A:
No. You may exercise your redemption rights whether you vote your Public Shares for or against, or whether you abstain from voting on, the Business Combination Proposal or any other Proposal described in this proxy statement/prospectus. As a result, the Business Combination Proposal can be approved by stockholders who will redeem their Public Shares and no longer remain stockholders, and the Business Combination may be consummated even though the funds available from the Trust Account and the number of Public Stockholders are substantially reduced as a result of redemptions by Public Stockholders.
The Sponsor, Nomura, MSP, the Members and/or their respective affiliates may purchase shares of Class A Common Stock on the open market. Such purchases (“Open Market Purchases”) will be made prior to the Special Meeting and will be separate from the redemption process conducted in connection with the Business Combination. The purposes of any Open Market Purchases would be to reduce the number of shares of Class A Common Stock that may be redeemed in connection with the Business Combination, and may include a business decision to increase such purchaser’s ownership at an attractive price. The Sponsor, Nomura, MSP, the Members and/or their respective affiliates shall only make Open Market Purchases to the extent the price per Class A Common Stock so acquired is no higher than the redemption price that would be available in connection with the redemption procedures described in this proxy statement/prospectus. In addition, the Sponsor, Nomura, MSP, the Members and/or their respective affiliates will waive any redemption rights with respect to any shares of Class A Common Stock purchased in Open Market Purchases and will not vote any shares of Class A Common Stock purchased in Open Market Purchases in favor of the Proposals.
Q:
HOW DO I EXERCISE MY REDEMPTION RIGHTS?
A:
In order to exercise your redemption rights, you must (i) if you hold Public Units, separate the underlying Public Shares and Public Warrants, and (ii) prior to 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on, May 16, 2022 (two business days before the Special Meeting), tender your shares physically or electronically and submit a request in writing that we redeem your Public Shares for cash to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, our transfer agent (“Transfer Agent”), at the following address:
Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company
1 State Street 30th Floor
New York, New York 10004
Attention: Mark Zimkind
Email: Mzimkind@continentalstock.com
Please check the box on the enclosed proxy card marked “Stockholder Certification” if you are not acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13d-3 of the Exchange Act) with any other stockholder with respect to shares of common stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a holder of the Public Shares, together with any affiliate of his or any other person with whom he is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13d-3 of the Exchange Act) will be restricted from exercising redemption rights with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the shares of Class A Common Stock included in the Public Units sold in our IPO. Accordingly, all Public Shares in excess of the 15% threshold beneficially owned by a Public Stockholder or group will not be redeemed for cash without our prior consent.
Stockholders seeking to exercise their redemption rights and opting to deliver physical certificates should allot sufficient time to obtain physical certificates from the Transfer Agent and time to effect delivery. It is our understanding that stockholders should generally allot at least two weeks to obtain physical certificates from the
xiv

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Transfer Agent. However, we do not have any control over this process and it may take longer than two weeks. Stockholders who hold their shares in street name will have to coordinate with their bank, broker or other nominee to have the shares certificated or delivered electronically.
Stockholders seeking to exercise their redemption rights, whether they are record holders or hold their shares in “street name” are required to either tender their certificates to our Transfer Agent prior to the date set forth in these proxy materials, or up to two business days prior to the vote on the Business Combination Proposal at the Special Meeting, or to deliver their shares to the Transfer Agent electronically using Depository Trust Company’s (“DTC”) Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian (“DWAC”) system, at such stockholder’s option. The requirement for physical or electronic delivery prior to the Special Meeting ensures that a redeeming stockholder’s election to redeem is irrevocable once the Business Combination is approved.
There is a nominal cost associated with the above-referenced tendering process and the act of certificating the shares or delivering them through the DWAC system. The Transfer Agent will typically charge a tendering broker a fee and it is in the broker’s discretion whether or not to pass this cost on to the redeeming stockholder. However, this fee would be incurred regardless of whether or not we require stockholders seeking to exercise redemption rights to tender their shares, as the need to deliver shares is a requirement to exercising redemption rights, regardless of the timing of when such delivery must be effectuated.
For a discussion of the material U.S. federal income tax considerations for holders of Public Shares with respect to the exercise of these redemption rights, see “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations” beginning on page 229.
Q:
DO I HAVE APPRAISAL RIGHTS IF I OBJECT TO THE PROPOSED BUSINESS COMBINATION?
A:
No. The Company’s stockholders do not have appraisal rights in connection with the Business Combination under the DGCL. See the section entitled “Appraisal Rights.
Q:
WHAT HAPPENS TO THE FUNDS DEPOSITED IN THE TRUST ACCOUNT AFTER CONSUMMATION OF THE BUSINESS COMBINATION?
A:
A total of $230.0 million in net proceeds of the IPO was placed in the Trust Account following the IPO. After consummation of the Business Combination, the funds in the Trust Account will be used to pay holders of the Public Shares who exercise redemption rights, to pay fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Business Combination (including aggregate fees of up to $8,050,000 as deferred underwriting commissions) and for the Post-Combination Company’s working capital and general corporate purposes. Approximately $109,469,789 was withdrawn out of the Trust Account to pay for the 10,946,269 shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock that were redeemed in connection with the Extension Amendment. We currently have approximately $120.5 million remaining in our Trust Account to consummate a business combination or to fund any additional redemptions that could be requested as more fully provided herein.
Q:
WHAT HAPPENS IF THE BUSINESS COMBINATION IS NOT CONSUMMATED?
A:
There are certain circumstances under which the MIPA may be terminated. Please see the section entitled “Proposal No. 1 — Business Combination Proposal — MIPA” for information regarding the parties’ specific termination rights.
If we do not consummate the Business Combination, we may continue to try to complete a business combination with a different target business until August 18, 2022. Unless we amend the Existing Charter (which requires the affirmative vote of the holders of 65% of all then outstanding shares of Common Stock) and amend certain other agreements into which we have entered to extend the life of the Company, if we fail to complete an initial business combination by August 18, 2022, then 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 our Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest not previously released to the Company to pay its taxes (less up to $100,000 of such net interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish our Public Stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law; and (iii) as promptly as reasonably
xv

possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining stockholders and the LCAP Board, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to our obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the residual assets remaining available for distribution (including Trust Account assets) will be less than the initial public offering price per unit in the IPO. See the section entitled “Risk Factors — Risks Related to the Company and the Business Combination.”
Holders of our Founder Shares have waived any right to any liquidation distribution with respect to such shares. In addition, if we fail to complete a business combination by August 18, 2022, there will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to our outstanding warrants, which will expire worthless.
Q:
HOW DO THE SPONSOR, AND OUR DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS INTEND TO VOTE ON THE PROPOSALS?
A:
The Sponsor and the Company’s directors and officers are entitled to vote an aggregate of 34.7% of the outstanding shares of common stock (which includes the Founder Shares and the Private Shares). The Company has entered into a letter agreement with the Sponsor and our directors and officers pursuant to which, among other things, each such person has agreed to vote all shares of our common stock owned by them in favor of the Proposals. However, we intend to waive such obligations of the Sponsor, our directors and/or our officers to vote their shares of common stock in favor of the Proposals in respect of any shares purchased by such purchasers in Open Market Purchases. Nomura, the underwriter of our IPO, has agreed to vote shares of our common stock held by it in favor of the Business Combination. However, we intend to waive such obligations of Nomura to vote their shares of common stock in favor of the Proposals in respect of any shares purchased by Nomura in Open Market Purchases. As a result, in addition to the shares of common stock held by Nomura, the Sponsor and our officers and directors, we may need only 2,826,816, or 23.5% (assuming all outstanding shares are voted), or no additional shares (assuming only the minimum number of shares representing a quorum are voted), of the Public Shares to be voted in favor of the Business Combination Proposal in order to have the Business Combination Proposal approved.
Q:
WHAT CONSTITUTES A QUORUM AT THE SPECIAL MEETING?
A:
A majority of the voting power of the common stock entitled to vote at the Special Meeting must be present, in person or represented by proxy at the Special Meeting to constitute a quorum and in order to conduct business at the Special Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted as present for the purpose of determining a quorum. Nomura, the Sponsor and our directors and officers, who collectively currently own 34.7% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock, will count towards this quorum. In the absence of a quorum, the chairman of the Special Meeting has power to adjourn the Special Meeting. As of the Record Date for the Special Meeting, 9,226,816 shares of common stock would be required to be present in person or represented by proxy to achieve a quorum.
Q:
WHAT VOTE IS REQUIRED TO APPROVE EACH PROPOSAL AT THE SPECIAL MEETING?
A:
The Business Combination Proposal: The approval of the Business Combination Proposal requires the affirmative vote (in person or by proxy) of the holders of a majority of the shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock entitled to vote and actually cast thereon at the Special Meeting, voting as a single class. Accordingly, a stockholder’s failure to submit a proxy or to vote in person at the Special Meeting, as well as an abstention from voting and a broker non-vote with regard to the Business Combination Proposal, will have no effect on the Business Combination Proposal. Company stockholders must approve the Business Combination Proposal in order for the Business Combination to occur.
The Nasdaq Proposal: The approval of the Nasdaq Proposal requires the affirmative vote (in person or by proxy) of the holders of a majority of the shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock entitled to vote and actually cast thereon at the Special Meeting, voting as a single class. Accordingly, a stockholder’s failure to submit a proxy or to vote in person at the Special Meeting, as well as an abstention from voting and a broker non-vote with regard to the Nasdaq Proposal, will have no effect on the Nasdaq Proposal. The Business Combination is conditioned on the approval of the Nasdaq Proposal, subject to the terms of the MIPA. If the Business Combination Proposal is not approved, the Nasdaq Proposal will not be presented to the stockholders for a vote.
xvi

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The Charter Approval Proposal: The approval of the Charter Approval Proposal requires the affirmative vote (in person or by proxy) of (i) the holders of a majority of the Class A Common Stock then outstanding, voting separately as a single class, (ii) the holders of a majority of the Class B Common Stock then outstanding, voting separately as a single class, and (iii) the holders of a majority of the shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock entitled to vote, voting as a single class. Accordingly, a stockholder’s failure to submit a proxy or to vote in person at the Special Meeting, as well as an abstention from voting and a broker non-vote with regard to the Charter Approval Proposal, will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” such proposal. The Business Combination is conditioned on the approval of the Charter Approval Proposal, subject to the terms of the MIPA. If the Business Combination Proposal is not approved, the Charter Approval Proposal will not be presented to the stockholders for a vote.
The Non-Binding Governance Proposals: The approval of the Non-Binding Governance Proposals requires the affirmative vote (in person or by proxy) of the holders of a majority of the shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock entitled to vote and actually cast thereon at the Special Meeting, voting as a single class. Accordingly, a stockholder’s failure to submit a proxy or to vote in person at the Special Meeting, as well as an abstention from voting and a broker non-vote with regard to the Non-Binding Governance Proposals, will have no effect on the Non-Binding Governance Proposals. The Business Combination is not conditioned on the approval of the Non-Binding Governance Proposal. If the Business Combination Proposal is not approved, the Non-Binding Governance Proposals will not be presented to the stockholders for a vote.
The Director Election Proposal: The approval of the Director Election proposal the affirmative vote (in person or by proxy) of the holders of a plurality of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock entitled to vote and actually cast thereon at the Special Meeting, voting as a single class. Stockholders may not cumulate their votes with respect to the election of directors. Accordingly, a stockholder’s failure to submit a proxy or to vote in person at the Special Meeting, as well as an abstention from voting and a broker non-vote with regard to the Director Election Proposal, will have no effect on the election of directors. The Business Combination is conditioned on the approval of the Director Election Proposal, subject to the terms of the MIPA. If the Business Combination Proposal is not approved, the Director Election Proposal will not be presented to the stockholders for a vote.
The Incentive Plan Proposal: The approval of the Incentive Plan Proposal requires the affirmative vote (in person or by proxy) of the holders of a majority of the shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock entitled to vote and actually cast thereon at the Special Meeting, voting as a single class. Accordingly, a stockholder’s failure to submit a proxy or to vote in person at the Special Meeting, as well as an abstention from voting and a broker non-vote with regard to the Incentive Plan Proposal, will have no effect on the Incentive Plan Proposal. The Business Combination is conditioned on the approval of the Incentive Plan Proposal, subject to the terms of the MIPA. If the Business Combination Proposal is not approved, the Incentive Plan Proposal will not be presented to the stockholders for a vote.
The Adjournment Proposal: The approval of the Adjournment Proposal, if presented, requires the affirmative vote (in person or by proxy) of the holders of a majority of the shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock entitled to vote and actually cast thereon at the Special Meeting, voting as a single class. Accordingly, a stockholder’s failure to submit a proxy or to vote in person at the Special Meeting, as well as an abstention from voting and a broker non-vote with regard to the Adjournment Proposal, will have no effect on the Adjournment Proposal. The Business Combination is not conditioned on the approval of the Adjournment Proposal.
The Company has entered into a letter agreement with the Sponsor and our directors and officers pursuant to which, among other things, each such person has agreed to vote all shares of our common stock owned by it, him or her in favor of the Proposals. However, we intend to waive such obligations of the Sponsor, our directors and/or our officers to vote their shares of common stock in favor of the Proposals in respect of any shares purchased by such purchasers in Open Market Purchases. Nomura, the underwriter of our IPO, has agreed to vote any shares of our common stock held by it in favor of the Business Combination. However, we intend to waive such obligations of Nomura to vote their shares of common stock in favor of the Proposals in respect of any shares purchased by Nomura in Open Market Purchases.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Q:
DO ANY OF THE COMPANY’S OFFICERS OR DIRECTORS HAVE INTERESTS IN THE BUSINESS COMBINATION THAT MAY DIFFER FROM OR BE IN ADDITION TO THE INTERESTS OF STOCKHOLDERS?
A:
The Sponsor and our directors and officers have interests in the Business Combination that are different from or in addition to (and which may conflict with) your interests. You should take these interests into account in deciding whether to approve the Proposals. These interests include:
the fact that our Initial Stockholders have agreed not to redeem any of the Founder Shares in connection with a stockholder vote to approve the proposed Business Combination;
the fact that Ophir Sternberg, Thomas W. Hawkins and Roger Meltzer will serve as directors of the Post-Combination Company;
the fact that the Sponsor paid an aggregate of $25,000 for 5,000,000 Founder Shares in January 2020 and, in February 2020, the Company declared a stock dividend of 0.15 share for each Founder Share outstanding, resulting in the Sponsor holding an aggregate of 5,750,000 Founder Shares. After giving effect to the sales or transfer of Founder Shares to Nomura and in connection with the IPO to certain insiders, the remaining 5,667,500 Founder Shares will have a significantly higher value at the time of the Business Combination, which if unrestricted and freely tradable would be valued at approximately $56,675,000 but, given the restrictions on such shares, we believe such shares have less value;
the fact that our Initial Stockholders have agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their Founder Shares if we fail to complete an initial business combination by August 18, 2022 (or such later date as may be approved by the Company’s stockholders);
the fact that our Initial Stockholders, being holders of Class A Common Stock, are eligible to receive the dividend comprised of the New Warrants to be issued upon the automatic conversion of the Founder Shares at Closing, and the fact that, because our Initial Stockholders have agreed not to redeem their shares in connection with the Business Combination, they may receive a significant number of such New Warrants, if other holders of Class A Common Stock elect to exercise their redemption rights;
the fact that the Sponsor paid an aggregate of $5,950,000 for Private Units comprised of 297,500 Private Warrants to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock and that such Private Warrants will expire worthless if a business combination is not consummated by August 18, 2022;
the continued right of the Sponsor to hold Class A Common Stock and the shares of Class A Common Stock to be issued to the Sponsor upon exercise of its Private Warrants following the Business Combination, subject to certain lock-up periods;
if the Trust Account is liquidated, including in the event we are unable to complete an initial business combination within the required time period, the Sponsor has agreed to indemnify us to ensure that the proceeds in the Trust Account are not reduced below $10.00 per Public Share, or such lesser per Public Share amount as is in the Trust Account on the liquidation date, by the claims of prospective target businesses with which we have entered into an acquisition agreement or claims of any third party (other than our independent public accountants) for services rendered or products sold to us, but only if such a vendor or target business has not executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account;
the Sponsor (including its representatives and affiliates) and the Company directors and officers, are, or may in the future become, affiliated with entities that are engaged in a similar business to the Company. For example, each of the Company’s officers may be considered an affiliate of the Sponsor, the Sponsor and our directors and officers of the Company are also affiliated with Lionheart III and Lionheart IV, all of which are blank check companies incorporated for the purpose of effecting their respective initial business combinations. In addition, Mr. Meltzer serves on the board of directors of Haymaker Acquisition Corp. III, a blank check company incorporated for the purpose of effecting a business combination. The Sponsor and the Company’s directors and officers are not prohibited from sponsoring, or otherwise becoming involved with, any other blank check companies prior to the Company completing its initial business combination. Moreover, certain of the Company’s directors and officers have time and attention requirements for certain other companies. The Company’s directors and officers also may become aware of business opportunities which may be appropriate for presentation to the Company, and the other entities to which they owe certain fiduciary or contractual duties, including Lionheart III and Lionheart IV.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Accordingly, they may have had conflicts of interest in determining to which entity a particular business opportunity should be presented. These conflicts may not be resolved in the Company’s favor and such potential business opportunities may be presented to other entities prior to their presentation to the Company, subject to applicable fiduciary duties. The Existing Charter provides that the Company renounces its interest in any corporate opportunity offered to any director or officer unless such opportunity is expressly offered to such person solely in his or her capacity as a director or officer of the Company and such opportunity is one the Company is legally and contractually permitted to undertake and would otherwise be reasonable for the Company to pursue, and to the extent the director or officer is permitted to refer that opportunity to the Company without violating another legal obligation.

Q:
WHAT DO I NEED TO DO NOW?
A:
The Company urges you to read carefully and consider the information contained in this proxy statement/prospectus, including the Annexes and the other documents referred to herein, and to consider how the Business Combination will affect you as a stockholder of the Company. Stockholders should then vote as soon as possible in accordance with the instructions provided in this proxy statement/prospectus and on the enclosed proxy card.
Q:
WHAT HAPPENS IF I SELL MY SHARES OF CLASS A COMMON STOCK BEFORE THE SPECIAL MEETING?
A:
The Record Date for the Special Meeting is earlier than the date that the Business Combination is expected to be completed. If you transfer your shares of Class A Common Stock after the Record Date, but before the Special Meeting, unless the transferee obtains from you a proxy to vote those shares, you will retain your right to vote at the Special Meeting. However, you will not be able to seek redemption of your shares of Class A Common Stock because you will no longer be able to tender them prior to the Special Meeting in accordance with the provisions described herein. If you transferred your shares of Class A Common Stock prior to the Record Date, you have no right to vote those shares at the Special Meeting or redeem those shares for a pro rata portion of the proceeds held in the Trust Account.
Q:
HOW DO I VOTE?
A:
If you are a holder of record of common stock on the Record Date, you may vote in person at the Special Meeting by attending the meeting virtually or by submitting a proxy for the Special Meeting. You may submit your proxy by completing, signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy card in the accompanying pre-addressed postage paid envelope. You may also vote by telephone or Internet by following the instructions printed on the proxy card.
If you hold your shares in “street name,” which means your shares are held of record by a broker, bank, or nominee, you should contact your broker, bank, or other nominee to ensure that votes related to the shares you
xix

beneficially own are properly counted. In this regard, you must provide the broker, bank, or nominee with instructions on how to vote your shares or, if you wish to attend the meeting and vote in person, obtain a proxy from your broker, bank, or nominee.
Q:
IF MY SHARES ARE HELD IN “STREET NAME” BY A BROKER, BANK, OR OTHER NOMINEE, WILL MY BROKER, BANK, OR OTHER NOMINEE VOTE MY SHARES FOR ME?
A:
If your shares are held in “street name” in a stock brokerage account or by a broker, bank, or other nominee, you must provide the record holder of your shares with instructions on how to vote your shares. Please follow the voting instructions provided by your broker, bank, or other nominee. Please note that you may not vote shares held in “street name” by returning a proxy card directly to the Company or by voting in person at the Special Meeting unless you provide a “legal proxy,” which you must obtain from your broker, bank, or other nominee.
Under the rules of Nasdaq, brokers who hold shares in “street name” for a beneficial owner of those shares typically have the authority to vote in their discretion on “routine” proposals when they have not received instructions from beneficial owners. However, brokers are not permitted to exercise their voting discretion with respect to the approval of matters that Nasdaq determines to be “non-routine” without specific instructions from the beneficial owner. It is expected that all proposals to be voted on at the Special Meeting are “non-routine” matters. Broker non-votes occur when a broker or nominee is not instructed by the beneficial owner of shares to vote on a particular proposal for which the broker does not have discretionary voting power.
If you are a Company stockholder holding your shares in “street name” and you do not instruct your broker, bank, or other nominee on how to vote your shares, your broker, bank, or other nominee will not vote your shares on the Business Combination Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal, the Charter Approval Proposal, the Non-Binding Governance Proposals, the Director Election Proposal, the Incentive Plan Proposal or the Adjournment Proposal. Such broker non-votes will be the equivalent of a vote “AGAINST” the Charter Approval Proposal but will have no effect on the vote count for such other proposals.
Q:
WHAT IF I ATTEND THE SPECIAL MEETING AND ABSTAIN OR DO NOT VOTE?
A:
For purposes of the Special Meeting, an abstention occurs when a stockholder attends the meeting in person and does not vote or returns a proxy with an “abstain” vote.
If you are a Company stockholder that attends the Special Meeting virtually and fails to vote on the Charter Approval Proposal, your failure to vote will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” such proposal.
If you are a Company stockholder that attends the Special Meeting virtually and fails to vote on the Business Combination Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal, the Non-Binding Governance Proposals, the Director Election Proposal, the Incentive Plan Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal, your failure to vote will have no effect on the Business Combination Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal, the Non-Binding Governance Proposals, the Director Election Proposal, the Incentive Plan Proposal or the Adjournment Proposal; however, your attendance will be counted for the purpose of establishing a quorum at the Special Meeting.
Q:
WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF I RETURN MY PROXY CARD WITHOUT INDICATING HOW TO VOTE?
A:
If you are a holder of record of common stock on the Record Date and you sign and return your proxy card without indicating how to vote on any particular Proposal, the common stock represented by your proxy will be voted “FOR” each of the Proposals presented at the Special Meeting.
Q:
MAY I CHANGE MY VOTE AFTER I HAVE MAILED MY SIGNED PROXY CARD?
A:
Yes. If you are a holder of record of common stock on the Record Date, you may change your vote at any time before your proxy is exercised by doing any one of the following:
send another proxy card with a later date;
notify the Company’s Secretary in writing before the Special Meeting that you have revoked your proxy; or
xx

TABLE OF CONTENTS

attend the Special Meeting and vote electronically by visiting and entering the control number found on your proxy card, voting instruction form or notice you previously received.
If you are a stockholder of record and you choose to send a written notice or to mail a new proxy, you must submit your notice of revocation or mail your new proxy to MacKenzie Partners, Inc., 1407 Broadway, New York, New York, 10018, and it must be received at any time before the vote is taken at the Special Meeting. Any proxy that you submitted may also be revoked by submitting a new proxy by mail, or online or by telephone, not later than 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the day prior to the Special Meeting date, or by voting online at the Special Meeting. Simply attending the Special Meeting will not revoke your proxy. If you have instructed a broker, bank, or other nominee to vote your shares of common stock, you must follow the directions you receive from your broker, bank, or other nominee in order to change or revoke your vote.
Q:
WHAT HAPPENS IF I FAIL TO TAKE ANY ACTION WITH RESPECT TO THE SPECIAL MEETING?
A:
If you fail to take any action with respect to the Special Meeting and the Business Combination is approved by stockholders and consummated, you will become a stockholder of the Post-Combination Company. Failure to take any action with respect to the Special Meeting will not affect your ability to exercise your redemption rights. If you fail to take any action with respect to the Special Meeting and the Business Combination is not approved, you will continue to be a stockholder of the Company while the Company searches for another target business with which to complete a business combination. If you fail to vote on the Charter Approval Proposal, your failure to vote will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” such proposal.
Q:
WHAT SHOULD I DO IF I RECEIVE MORE THAN ONE SET OF VOTING MATERIALS?
A:
Stockholders may receive more than one set of voting materials, including multiple copies of this proxy statement/prospectus and multiple proxy cards or voting instruction cards. For example, if you hold your shares in more than one brokerage account, you will receive a separate voting instruction card for each brokerage account in which you hold shares. If you are a holder of record and your shares are registered in more than one name, you will receive more than one proxy card. Please complete, sign, date and return each proxy card and voting instruction card that you receive in order to cast a vote with respect to all of your shares.

SUMMARY
This summary highlights selected information included in this proxy statement/prospectus and does not contain all of the information that may be important to you. You should read this entire document and its Annexes and the other documents to which we refer before you decide how to vote. Item in this summary include a page reference directing you to a more complete description of that item.
Parties to the Business Combination
The Company
The Company is a blank check company incorporated on December 20, 2019 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 businesses.
The Company’s securities are traded on Nasdaq under the ticker symbols “LCAP,” “LCAPU” and “LCAPW.” The mailing address of the Company’s principal executive office is 4218 NE 2nd Avenue, Miami, Florida 33137 and the telephone number of the Company’s principal executive office is (305) 573-3900.
Lionheart II Holdings, LLC
Lionheart II Holdings, LLC is a Delaware limited liability company which was organized on July 9, 2021 to serve as the holding company for MSP following the consummation of the Business Combination.
MSP
References to MSP throughout this proxy statement/prospectus encompasses (i) the limited liability companies being directly acquired by Opco in the Business Combination, which we also refer to as the MSP Purchased Companies, and (ii) the subsidiaries of the MSP Purchased Companies, which we refer to together with the MSP Purchased Companies as the MSP Companies. The MSP Companies together comprise the group of entities that operate the business of MSP as described in this proxy statement/prospectus.
The mailing address of MSP’s principal executive office is 2701 Le Jeune Road, Floor 10, Coral Gables, Florida 33134.
The Members
The Members are the equity holders of MSP.
The Business Combination and the MIPA (pages 187 and 215)
The terms and conditions of the Business Combination are contained in the MIPA, which is attached as Annex A to this proxy statement/prospectus. We encourage you to read the MIPA carefully, as it is the legal document that governs the Business Combination.
Pursuant to the MIPA, the Members will sell and assign all of their membership interests in MSP to Opco in exchange for Up-C Units (or shares of Class A Common Stock). Following the Closing, the Company will be organized in an “Up-C” structure in which all of the business of the MSP Companies will be held directly or indirectly by Opco, and the Company will own all of the voting economic Class A Units of Opco and the Members or their designees will own all of the non-voting economic Class B Units in accordance with the LLC Agreement.
Consideration (page 215)
Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the MIPA, the aggregate consideration to be paid to the Members (or their designees) will consist of (i) 3,250,000,000 Up-C Units (or shares of Class A Common Stock) and (ii) rights to receive payments under the tax receivable agreement to be entered into at the Closing. Of the Up-C Units to be issued to certain Members at Closing, 6,000,000 (the “Escrow Units”) will be deposited into an escrow account with Continental Stock Transfer and Trust Company to satisfy any indemnification claims that may be brought pursuant to the MIPA.
New Warrants
In connection with the Business Combination and to provide additional consideration to holders of Class A Common Stock that do not redeem their shares of Class A Common Stock, the Company intends, subject to compliance with applicable law, to declare a dividend comprising an aggregate of approximately 1,029,000,000 New
1

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Warrants conditioned upon the consummation of any redemptions by the holders of Class A Common Stock and the Closing, to the holders of record of the Class A Common Stock as of the Closing Date, after giving effect to the waiver of the right, title and interest in, to or under, participation in any such dividend by the Members, on behalf of themselves and any of their designees. The New Warrants are not typical of other similar business combination transactions. See “Risk Factors— If you elect to exercise your redemption rights with respect to your shares of Class A Common Stock, you will not receive any New Warrants.
The Company intends to establish the close of business of the anticipated Closing Date as the record date for stockholders entitled to receive their pro rata portion of the approximately 1,029,000,000 New Warrants (the “Warrant Record Date”). The Warrant Record Date is expected to be determined at least 10 days prior to the Closing Date. The Company expects that a dividend of the New Warrants will be distributed following the Closing Date to stockholders of record as of the close of business on the Warrant Record Date, and after giving effect to the waiver of the right, title and interest in, to or under, participation in any such dividend by the Members, on behalf of themselves and any of their designees.
The number of New Warrants to be distributed in respect of each share of unredeemed Class A Common Stock is contingent upon, and will vary with, the aggregate number of shares of Class A Common Stock that are redeemed in connection with the Business Combination, but will not exceed 1,029,000,000 New Warrants. Holders who choose to redeem their shares of Class A Common Stock will not receive any New Warrants. Public Stockholders who choose not to redeem their shares of Class A Common Stock will share in this fixed pool of New Warrants with other non-redeeming holders (on a pro-rata basis, based on the number of shares of Class A Common Stock held at the end of business on the Closing Date, which is expected to include the 5,750,000 shares of Class A Common Stock into which Founder Shares will convert in connection with the Business Combination). As a result, assuming the no redemption scenario and that the distribution is made, Public Stockholders who do not redeem their shares would receive at least 55 New Warrants per share of Class A Common Stock they hold, which would proportionally increase if other holders elect to redeem their shares of Class A Common Stock. We believe this structure will likely lead to a lower level of redemptions, and therefore, we will likely have more funds available for our Business Combination. Pursuant to the terms of the Existing Warrant Agreement, the exercise price of the Public Warrants and Private Warrants could decrease to $0.0001 after giving effect to the issuance of the New Warrants. Pursuant to the terms of the LLC Agreement, at least twice a month, to the extent any New Warrants have been exercised in accordance with their terms, the Post-Combination Company is required to purchase from the MSP Principals, proportionately, the number of Up-C Units or shares of Class A Common Stock owned by such MSP Principal equal to the aggregate amount of the exercise price received in connection with exercise of the New Warrants during an applicable period (the “Aggregate Exercise Price”) divided by the Warrant Exercise Price (as defined in the LLC Agreement) in exchange for the Aggregate Exercise Price. For more information, see the LLC Agreement attached hereto as Annex D.
Ownership of the Post-Combination Company
As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, there are 12,703,631 shares of Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding, and 5,750,000 shares of Class B Common Stock outstanding, each of which will be converted into one share of Class A Common Stock at the Closing.
It is anticipated that, upon completion of the Business Combination, and assuming (1) the no redemption scenario and (2) that the holders of the Company’s existing Public Warrants and Private Warrants exercise those warrants, and no New Warrants are exercised (except as described in Note (8) to the table below): (i) the Public Stockholders will retain approximately 0.4% of the common stock of the Post-Combination Company; (ii) the Initial Stockholders will retain approximately 0.2% of the common stock of the Post-Combination Company; and (iii) the Members (or their designees) will acquire approximately 99.1% of the common stock of the Post-Combination Company. However, as described below, such percentages will be affected by the level of redemptions by Public Stockholders and the exercise of outstanding warrants or New Warrants.
Upon completion of the Business Combination, the Post-Combination Company will own all of the voting economic Class A Units of Opco, and the Members or their designees will own all of the non-voting economic Class B Units of Opco in accordance with the terms of the LLC Agreement.
In addition, subject to the approval of the Incentive Plan Proposal and the authorization of the initial share reserve, the Company will have the ability to issue up to 98,736,750 shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to awards under the Incentive Plan.

Only 12,053,631 shares of Class A Common Stock are subject to redemption (after giving effect to the redemption of 10,946,369 shares of Class A Common Stock in connection with the Company stockholder vote to approve the Extension Amendment). The remaining 650,000 shares of Class A Common Stock are held by holders of Private Shares who have waived their redemption rights pursuant to applicable subscription agreements.
(2)
Class A Common Stock are economic shares and entitled to one vote per share. Class V Common Stock are non-economic and entitled to one vote per share.
(3)
Assumes that no additional shares of Class A Common Stock are redeemed (after giving effect to the redemption of 10,946,369 shares of Class A Common Stock in connection with the Company stockholder vote to approve the Extension Amendment). Refer to the section titled “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information” in this proxy statement/prospectus.
(4)
Assumes 2,700,793 additional shares of Class A Common Stock are redeemed at a redemption price of $10.00 (after giving effect to the redemption of 10,946,369 shares of Class A Common Stock in connection with the Company stockholder vote to approve the Extension Amendment), and represents a midpoint redemption scenario between the no redemption and expense adjusted maximum redemption scenarios.
(5)
As noted in (1) above, only 12,053,631 shares of Class A Common Stock are subject to redemption. This assumes that the cash available for maximum redemptions is calculated as the cash in trust less remaining transaction costs to be paid in cash of $66.5 million. This amount is divided by the estimated per share redemption price of approximately $10.00 per share to obtain the number of shares to be redeemed. Refer to section titled “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information” in this proxy statement/prospectus.
(6)
Assumes all of the 12,053,631 shares of Class A Common Stock subject to redemption (after giving effect to the redemption of 10,946,369 shares of Class A Common Stock in connection with the Company stockholder vote to approve the Extension Amendment) are redeemed a redemption price of $10.00.
(7)
Shares exclude the approximately 1,029,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock underlying the approximately 1,029,000,000 New Warrants to be issued, conditioned upon the consummation of any redemptions by the holders of Class A Common Stock and the Closing, to the holders of record of the Class A Common Stock on the Closing Date (which is expected to include the 5,750,000 shares of Class A Common Stock into which Founder Shares will convert in connection with the Business Combination), after giving effect to the waiver of the right, title and interest in, to or under, participation in any such dividend by the Members, on behalf of themselves and any of their designees. See (9) below.
(8)
Pursuant to the terms of the LLC Agreement, at least twice a month, to the extent any New Warrants have been exercised in accordance with their terms, the Company following the Business Combination is required to purchase from the MSP Principals, proportionately, the number of Up-C Units or shares of Class A Common Stock owned by such MSP Principal equal to the Aggregate Exercise Price divided by the Warrant Exercise Price (as defined in the LLC Agreement) in exchange for the Aggregate Exercise Price. As a result, no additional dilution is expected from the exercise of the New Warrants. The number of New Warrants to be distributed in respect of each share of unredeemed Class A Common Stock is

contingent upon, and will vary with, the aggregate number of shares of Class A Common Stock that are redeemed in connection with the Business Combination, with approximately 1,029,000,000 New Warrants to be issued under all redemption scenarios. If the New Warrants were to be exercised and after giving effect to the obligation of the Post-Combination Company to repurchase Up-C Units or shares of Class of Common Stock from the MSP Principals pursuant to the LLC Agreement, the ownership held by holders of record of the Class A Common Stock on the Closing Date (including holders of Private Warrants and Public Warrants), after giving effect to any redemptions and the waiver of the right, title and interest in, to or under, participation in any such dividend by the Members, would be 32.3%, 32.2%, 32.2% and 32.0% assuming the no redemption, illustrative redemption, expense, adjusted maximum redemption and maximum scenarios, respectively. In addition: (i) the Public Stockholders and holders of Private Shares are expected to hold 22.0%, 20.2%, 17.8% and 3.2%, (ii) Initial Stockholders are expected to hold 9.9%, 11.6%, 14.0% and 28.5% and (iii) total MSP and unrelated parties are expected to hold 67.7%, 67.8%, 67.8% and 68.0%, in each case assuming the no redemption, illustrative redemption, expense adjusted maximum redemption and maximum scenarios, respectively.

Assuming the value of the VRM Full Return as of December 31, 2021, of $656.6 million and a per unit value of $10.00 per Up-C unit, Messrs. Ruiz and Quesada are expected may exchange their Up-C Units for shares of Class A Common Stock to be sold in satisfaction of the VRM Full Return, pursuant to the VRM Full Return Guaranty, their Up-C Units received as consideration pursuant to the MIPA. Such amount includes 65,000,000 Up-C Units to be delivered as Reserved Shares and an additional 662,091 Up-C Units to be delivered and exchanged for shares of Class A Common Stock to be sold pursuant to the VRM Full Return Guaranty. See “The Business Combination — Other Agreements — VRM Full Return Guaranty.”
(10)
Assumes 120,000,000 Up-C Units are issued to VRM as Upfront Consideration and includes an additional 20,000,000 Up-C Units to be paid in connection with the Virage Exclusivity Termination from the aggregate consideration being paid to the Members (or their designees) pursuant to the MIPA at Closing.
(11)
Assumes issuance of all shares of Class A Common Stock reserved for initial issuance under the Incentive Plan equal to 98,736,750. In addition, under the terms of the Incentive Plan, the aggregate number of shares that may be issued pursuant to awards will be subject to an annual increase on January 1 of each calendar year (commencing with January 1, 2023 and ending on and including January 1, 2031) equal to the lesser of (i) a number of shares equal to 3% of the total number of shares actually issued and outstanding on the last day of the preceding fiscal year or (ii) a number of shares as determined by the Board. Such increase in reserve may present an additional source of dilution. See “Proposal No. 6—Incentive Plan Proposal.”

The following diagram, which assumes (1) the no redemption scenario and (2) that the holders of the Company’s existing Public Warrants and Private Warrants exercise those warrants, and no New Warrants are exercised, in connection with the Business Combination, illustrates the ownership structure of the Post-Combination Company immediately following the Business Combination:

(1)
The Members (or their designees) will hold all of the Class B Units of Opco.
(2)
The Members (or their designees) will hold all of the shares of the Class V Common Stock of the Post-Combination Company, which are voting, non-economic shares. The shares of Class V Common Stock, together with their accompanying Class B Units of Opco, are convertible on a one-for-one basis into shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock (or cash, at the Post-Combination Company’s option), in accordance with the terms of the LLC Agreement.
(3)
The Initial Stockholders will hold 5,750,000 of the shares of Class A Common Stock of the Post-Combination Company. This amount will be affected by the exercise of outstanding warrants or New Warrants. See “Summary—Ownership of the Post-Combination Company.
(4)
The Public Stockholders and holders of Private Shares will hold 12,703,631 of the shares of Class A Common Stock of the Post-Combination Company. This amount will be affected by the level of redemptions by Public Stockholders and the exercise of outstanding warrants or New Warrants. See “Summary—Ownership of the Post-Combination Company.
(5)
The Post-Combination Company will hold all of the Class A Units of Opco.
(6)
The MSP Purchased Companies will own 50% of the membership interest in each of MAO-MSO Recovery, LLC, MAO MSO Recovery II, LLC, MAO-MSO Recovery LLC, Series FHCP and MAO-MSO Recovery II LLC, Series PMPI.
Recommendation of the LCAP Board (page 96)
The LCAP Board has unanimously determined that the Business Combination, on the terms and conditions set forth in the MIPA, is fair and advisable to, and in the best interests of, the Company and its stockholders and has directed that the Proposals set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus be submitted to its stockholders for approval

at the Special Meeting on the date and at the time and place set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus. The LCAP Board unanimously recommends that Company stockholders vote “FOR” the Business Combination Proposal, “FOR” the Nasdaq Proposal, “FOR” the Charter Approval Proposal, “FOR” the Non-Binding Governance Proposals, “FOR” the Director Election Proposal, “FOR” the Incentive Plan Proposal and “FOR” the Adjournment Proposal, if presented. See “The Business Combination—Recommendation of the LCAP Board and Reasons for the Business Combination” beginning on page 202.
In considering the Business Combination, the LCAP Board considered a number of factors pertaining to the Business Combination as generally supporting its decision to enter into the MIPA and the transactions contemplated thereby, including, but not limited to, the following factors (not necessarily in order of relative importance):
Following a review of the financial data provided to the Company, including certain unaudited prospective financial information of MSP (including, where applicable, the assumptions underlying such unaudited prospective financial information) and the Company’s due diligence review of MSP’s business, the LCAP Board determined that the consideration to be paid to the Members was reasonable in light of such data and financial information.
The Company’s management and advisors conducted due diligence examinations of MSP, including: commercial, financial, legal and regulatory due diligence, and extensive discussions with MSP’s management and the Company’s management and legal advisors concerning such due diligence examinations of MSP.
MSP’s business is based in a serviceable market that has a long-standing history of improper claim reimbursement concerns, and that the LCAP Board considers attractive, and which, following a review of industry trends and other industry factors (including, among other things, historic and projected market growth), the LCAP Board believes has continued growth potential in future periods.
Defensive, niche business model, coupled with a first mover advantage has led to MSP identifying more than $15 billion of Paid Value of Potentially Recoverable Claims, as of the date of the MIPA, that could be recoverable in the near future.
The Members (or their designees) will control approximately 99.1% of the Post-Combination Company, assuming (1) the no redemption scenario, (2) that the holders of the Company’s existing Public Warrants and Private Warrants exercise those warrants, and no New Warrants are exercised and (3) no attributed ownership based on Messrs. Ruiz and Quesada’s investment in VRM (See “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions” beginning on page 247). Such ownership percentage will be affected by the level of redemptions by Public Stockholders and the exercise of outstanding warrants or New Warrants. See “Summary—Ownership of the Post-Combination Company.” The LCAP Board believes that the Members continuing to own a substantial percentage of the Post-Combination Company on a pro forma basis reflects such equityholders’ belief in and commitment to the continued growth prospects of MSP going forward.
The agreement by Messrs. Ruiz and Quesada to be subject to a post-Closing lockup in respect of their Up-C Units and shares of Class A Common Stock, subject to certain exceptions, and to enter into employment agreements with the Post-Combination Company, which is expected to provide important stability to the leadership and governance of MSP.
Opportunity to introduce an attractive asset class to public investors that has historically been transacted in private market settings.
Driven MSP management with diverse experience and an entrepreneurial mindset to bring this asset class to the public markets.
The terms and conditions of the MIPA and the related agreements and the transactions contemplated thereby, each party’s representations, warranties and covenants, the conditions to each party’s obligation to consummate the Business Combination and the termination provisions, as well as the strong commitment by both the Company and MSP to complete the Business Combination.
After a review of other business combination opportunities reasonably available to the Company, the LCAP Board believes that the proposed Business Combination represents the best potential business combination reasonably available to the Company taking into consideration, among other things, the timing and likelihood of accomplishing the goals of any alternatives.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

MSP’s unique social focus on supporting the long-term sustainability of Medicare and Medicaid programs relied upon by over 100 million Americans.
Proprietary data system that has proven experience aggregating, normalizing and analyzing large volumes of data to identify recoverable healthcare claims.
The LCAP Board also considered various uncertainties and risks and other potentially negative factors concerning the Business Combination, including, but not limited to, the following:
John H. Ruiz and Frank C. Quesada are key business drivers of MSP and the success of MSP remains highly dependent on their continued involvement.
The potential benefits of the Business Combination may not be fully achieved or may not be achieved within the expected timeframe.
Validity of the claim assignments, legal standing of the MSP claims, penalties and double damages provisions, and several other key legal issues remain subject to continued affirmation in the U.S. court system.
Medicare Secondary Payer Act of 1980 still remains subject to legal interpretation and potential revision.
While the MSP management has modeled the expected operating expenses, they have not previously operated at a scale indicated in the MSP management projections nor executed on the scale of growth contemplated.
The Company’s stockholders may fail to approve the proposals necessary to effect the Business Combination.
The completion of the Business Combination is conditioned on the satisfaction of certain closing conditions that are not within the Company’s control, including the receipt of certain required regulatory approvals.
The Public Stockholders will hold a minority position in the Post-Combination Company (approximately 0.4%, assuming (1) the no redemption scenario and (2) that the holders of the Company’s existing Public Warrants and Private Warrants exercise those warrants, and no New Warrants are exercised), as such, the Company’s current stockholders are unlikely to have an influence on the management of the Post-Combination Company. Such ownership percentage will be affected by the level of redemptions by Public Stockholders and the exercise of outstanding warrants or New Warrants. See “Summary—Ownership of the Post-Combination Company.
Legal due diligence review from the Company’s advisor raised concerns over internal controls and documentation related to HIPAA compliance and data protection.
Public investors often rely on a PIPE investor for third party validation of valuation. The Business Combination lacks a validating PIPE investor.
The challenges associated with preparing MSP, which is a private company, for the applicable disclosure and listing requirements to which MSP will be subject as a publicly traded company.
As of the date the LCAP Board approved the Business Combination, MSP did not have any combined or consolidated historical financial statements, and therefore the LCAP Board could not consider MSP’s historical financial results or historical and current balance sheet information in conjunction with its consideration of other financial information of MSP in making its determination. Once MSP’s audited financial statements became available, the LCAP Board reviewed the audited financial statements in conjunction with the other unaudited financial data available to it and continued to recommend the Business Combination. See “Risk Factors—The Sponsor, certain members of the LCAP Board and our officers have interests in the Business Combination that are different from or are in addition to other stockholders in recommending that stockholders vote in favor of approval of the Business Combination Proposal and approval of the other proposals described in this proxy statement.
The possibility that the SPAC market experiences volatility and disruptions, causing deal disruption.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The risks and costs to the Company if the Business Combination is not completed, including the risk of diverting management focus and resources from other business combination opportunities, which could result in the Company being unable to effect an initial business combination by August 18, 2022.
The LCAP Board did not obtain a third-party valuation or fairness opinion in connection with the Business Combination.
The fees and expenses associated with completing the Business Combination. In addition, the LCAP Board considered the fact that Nomura has contingent fees owing to it upon the successful completion of the Business Combination, consisting of (a) an M&A fee of $20 million and (b) deferred underwriting fees of approximately $4.4 million. The LCAP Board did not believe such fees would be such a conflict of interest that it should prevent Nomura from serving as financial advisor to the Company in evaluating and advising on the Business Combination.
MSP has entered into certain arrangements with VRM and its affiliates, which include preferred returns on cash distributions and potential anti-dilution protections, which may impact existing and new investors. (See “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions” beginning on page 247).
In addition to considering the factors described above, the LCAP Board also considered other factors, including, without limitation the fact that some officers and directors of the Company may have interests in the Business Combination (see “— Interests of the Company’s Directors and Executive Officers in the Business Combination” beginning on page 209) and various other risk factors associated with the business of MSP, as described in the section entitled “Risk Factors” appearing elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.
The Company’s Special Meeting of Stockholders (page 93)
The Special Meeting will be held at 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time, on May 18, 2022 in virtual format. The Special Meeting can be accessed by visiting https://www.cstproxy.com/lionheartacquisitioncorpii/sm2022, where Company stockholders will be able to listen to the meeting live and vote during the meeting. Additionally, Company stockholders have the option to listen to the Special Meeting by dialing 1-800-450-7155 (toll-free within the U.S. and Canada) or +1-857-999-9155 (outside of the U.S. and Canada, standard rates apply). The passcode for telephone access is 1627037#, but please note that Company stockholders who choose to participate telephonically cannot vote or ask questions. Please note that you will only be able to access the Special Meeting by means of remote communication. At the Special Meeting, Company stockholders will be asked to vote on the Business Combination Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal, the Charter Approval Proposal, the Non-Binding Governance Proposals, the Director Election Proposal, the Incentive Plan Proposal and, if necessary, the Adjournment Proposal.
Stockholders will be entitled to vote or direct votes to be cast at the Special Meeting if they owned shares of common stock at the close of business on April 18, 2022, the Record Date for the Special Meeting. Stockholders are entitled to one vote for each share of common stock owned at the close of business on the Record Date. If stockholders’ shares are held in “street name” or are in a margin or similar account, stockholders should contact their broker, bank, or other nominee to ensure that votes related to the shares they beneficially own are properly counted. On the Record Date, there were 18,453,631 shares of common stock outstanding, of which 12,053,631 were Public Shares, 5,750,000 were Founder Shares and 650,000 were Private Shares.
A quorum of Company stockholders is necessary to hold a valid Special Meeting. A majority of the voting power of the common stock entitled to vote at the Special Meeting must be present, in person or represented by proxy at the Special Meeting to constitute a quorum and in order to conduct business at the Special Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted as present for the purpose of determining a quorum. Nomura, the Sponsor and our directors and officers, who collectively currently own 34.7% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock, will count towards this quorum. As of the Record Date for the Special Meeting, 9,226,816 shares of common stock would be required to be present in person or represented by proxy to achieve a quorum.
The Company has entered into a letter agreement with the Sponsor and our directors and officers pursuant to which, among other things, each such person has agreed to vote all shares of our common stock owned by it, him or her in favor of the Proposals. However, we intend to waive such obligations of the Sponsor, our directors and/or our officers to vote their shares of common stock in favor of the Proposals in respect of any shares purchased by such purchasers in Open Market Purchases. Nomura, the underwriter of our IPO, has agreed to vote any shares of our common stock held by it in favor of the Business Combination. However, we intend to waive such obligations of Nomura to vote their shares of common stock in favor of the Proposals in respect of any shares purchased by Nomura

in Open Market Purchases. As a result, in addition to the shares of common stock held by Nomura, the Sponsor and our officers and directors, we may need only 2,826,816, or 23.5% (assuming all outstanding shares are voted), or no additional shares (assuming only the minimum number of shares representing a quorum are voted), of the Public Shares to be voted in favor of the Business Combination in order to have the Business Combination approved. The Proposals presented at the Special Meeting will require the following votes:
The Business Combination Proposal: The approval of the Business Combination Proposal requires the affirmative vote (in person or by proxy) of the holders of a majority of the shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock entitled to vote and actually cast thereon at the Special Meeting, voting as a single class. Accordingly, a stockholder’s failure to submit a proxy or to vote in person at the Special Meeting, as well as an abstention from voting and a broker non-vote with regard to the Business Combination Proposal, will have no effect on the Business Combination Proposal. Company stockholders must approve the Business Combination Proposal in order for the Business Combination to occur.
The Nasdaq Proposal: The approval of the Nasdaq Proposal requires the affirmative vote (in person or by proxy) of the holders of a majority of the shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock entitled to vote and actually cast thereon at the Special Meeting, voting as a single class. Accordingly, a stockholder’s failure to submit a proxy or to vote in person at the Special Meeting, as well as an abstention from voting and a broker non-vote with regard to the Nasdaq Proposal, will have no effect on the Nasdaq Proposal. The Business Combination is conditioned on the approval of the Nasdaq Proposal, subject to the terms of the MIPA. If the Business Combination Proposal is not approved, the Nasdaq Proposal will not be presented to the stockholders for a vote.
The Charter Approval Proposal: The approval of the Charter Approval Proposal requires the affirmative vote (in person or by proxy) of (i) the holders of a majority of the Class A Common Stock then outstanding, voting separately as a single class, (ii) the holders of a majority of the Class B Common Stock then outstanding, voting separately as a single class, and (iii) the holders of a majority of the shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock entitled to vote, voting as a single class. Accordingly, a stockholder’s failure to submit a proxy or to vote in person at the Special Meeting, as well as an abstention from voting and a broker non-vote with regard to the Charter Approval Proposal, will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” such proposal. The Business Combination is conditioned on the approval of the Charter Approval Proposal, subject to the terms of the MIPA. If the Business Combination Proposal is not approved, the Charter Approval Proposal will not be presented to the stockholders for a vote.
The Non-Binding Governance Proposals: The approval of the Non-Binding Governance Proposals requires the affirmative vote (in person or by proxy) of the holders of a majority of the shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock entitled to vote and actually cast thereon at the Special Meeting, voting as a single class. Accordingly, a stockholder’s failure to submit a proxy or to vote in person at the Special Meeting, as well as an abstention from voting and a broker non-vote with regard to the Non-Binding Governance Proposals, will have no effect on the Non-Binding Governance Proposals. The Business Combination is not conditioned on the approval of the Non-Binding Governance Proposals. If the Business Combination Proposal is not approved, the Non-Binding Governance Proposals will not be presented to the stockholders for a vote.
The Director Election Proposal: The approval of the Director Election Proposal requires the affirmative vote (in person or by proxy) of the holders of a plurality of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock entitled to vote and actually cast thereon at the Special Meeting, voting as a single class. Stockholders may not cumulate their votes with respect to the election of directors. Accordingly, a stockholder’s failure to submit a proxy or to vote in person at the Special Meeting, as well as an abstention from voting and a broker non-vote with regard to the Director Election Proposal, will have no effect on the election of directors. The Business Combination is conditioned on the approval of the Director Election Proposal, subject to the terms of the MIPA. If the Business Combination Proposal is not approved, the Director Election Proposal will not be presented to the stockholders for a vote.
The Incentive Plan Proposal: The approval of the Incentive Plan Proposal requires the affirmative vote (in person or by proxy) of the holders of a majority of the shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock entitled to vote and actually cast thereon at the Special Meeting, voting as a single class. Accordingly, a stockholder’s failure to submit a proxy or to vote in person at the Special Meeting, as well

as an abstention from voting and a broker non-vote with regard to the Incentive Plan Proposal, will have no effect on the Incentive Plan Proposal. The Business Combination is conditioned on the approval of the Incentive Plan Proposal, subject to the terms of the MIPA. If the Business Combination Proposal is not approved, the Incentive Plan Proposal will not be presented to the stockholders for a vote.
The Adjournment Proposal: The approval of the Adjournment Proposal, if presented, requires the affirmative vote (in person or by proxy) of the holders of a majority of the shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock entitled to vote and actually cast thereon at the Special Meeting, voting as a single class. Accordingly, a stockholder’s failure to submit a proxy or to vote in person at the Special Meeting, as well as an abstention from voting and a broker non-vote with regard to the Adjournment Proposal, will have no effect on the Adjournment Proposal. The Business Combination is not conditioned on the approval of the Adjournment Proposal.
The Company’s Officers and Directors Have Financial Interests in the Business Combination (page 209)
The Sponsor and our directors and officers have interests in the Business Combination that are different from or in addition to (and which may conflict with) your interests. You should take these interests into account in deciding whether to approve the Proposals. As a result of such interests, the Sponsor and our directors and officers may be incentivized to complete a business combination with a less favorable combination partner or on terms less favorable to public shareholders rather than fail to complete a business combination by August 18, 2022 (or such later date as may be approved by the Company’s stockholders) and be forced to liquidate and dissolve the Company. These interests include:
the fact that our Initial Stockholders have agreed not to redeem any of the Founder Shares in connection with a stockholder vote to approve the proposed Business Combination;
the fact that Ophir Sternberg, Thomas W. Hawkins and Roger Meltzer will serve as directors of the Post-Combination Company;
the fact that the Sponsor paid an aggregate of $25,000 for 5,000,000 Founder Shares in January 2020 and, in February 2020, the Company declared a stock dividend of 0.15 share for each Founder Share outstanding, resulting in the Sponsor holding an aggregate of 5,750,000 Founder Shares. After giving effect to the sales or transfer of Founder Shares to Nomura and in connection with the IPO to certain insiders, the remaining 5,667,500 Founder Shares will have a significantly higher value at the time of the Business Combination, which if unrestricted and freely tradable would be valued at approximately $56,675,000 but, given the restrictions on such shares, we believe such shares have less value;
the fact that our Initial Stockholders have agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their Founder Shares if we fail to complete an initial business combination by August 18, 2022 (or such later date as may be approved by the Company’s stockholders);
the fact that our Initial Stockholders, being holders of Class A Common Stock, are eligible to receive the dividend comprised of the New Warrants to be issued upon the automatic conversion of the Founder Shares at Closing, and the fact that, because our Initial Stockholders have agreed not to redeem their shares in connection with the Business Combination, they may receive a significant number of such New Warrants, if other holders of Class A Common Stock elect to exercise their redemption rights;
the fact that the Sponsor paid an aggregate of $5,950,000 for Private Units comprised of 297,500 Private Warrants to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock and that such Private Warrants will expire worthless if a business combination is not consummated by August 18, 2022;
the continued right of the Sponsor to hold Class A Common Stock and the shares of Class A Common Stock to be issued to the Sponsor upon exercise of its Private Warrants following the Business Combination, subject to certain lock-up periods;
if the Trust Account is liquidated, including in the event we are unable to complete an initial business combination within the required time period, the Sponsor has agreed to indemnify us to ensure that the proceeds in the Trust Account are not reduced below $10.00 per public share, or such lesser per public share amount as is in the Trust Account on the liquidation date, by the claims of prospective target businesses

with which we have entered into an acquisition agreement or claims of any third party (other than our independent public accountants) for services rendered or products sold to us, but only if such a vendor or target business has not executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account;
the Sponsor (including its representatives and affiliates) and the Company directors and officers, are, or may in the future become, affiliated with entities that are engaged in a similar business to the Company. For example, each of the Company’s officers may be considered an affiliate of the Sponsor, and the directors and officers of the Company are also affiliated with Lionheart III and Lionheart IV, all of which are blank check companies incorporated for the purpose of effecting their respective initial business combinations. In addition, Mr. Meltzer serves on the board of directors of Haymaker Acquisition Corp. III, a blank check company incorporated for the purpose of effecting a business combination. The Sponsor and the Company’s directors and officers are not prohibited from sponsoring, or otherwise becoming involved with, any other blank check companies prior to the Company completing its initial business combination. Moreover, certain of the Company’s directors and officers have time and attention requirements for certain other companies. The Company’s directors and officers also may become aware of business opportunities which may be appropriate for presentation to the Company, and the other entities to which they owe certain fiduciary or contractual duties, including Lionheart III and Lionheart IV. Accordingly, they may have had conflicts of interest in determining to which entity a particular business opportunity should be presented. These conflicts may not be resolved in the Company’s favor and such potential business opportunities may be presented to other entities prior to their presentation to the Company, subject to applicable fiduciary duties. The Existing Charter provides that the Company renounces its interest in any corporate opportunity offered to any director or officer unless such opportunity is expressly offered to such person solely in his or her capacity as a director or officer of the Company and such opportunity is one the Company is legally and contractually permitted to undertake and would otherwise be reasonable for the Company to pursue, and to the extent the director or officer is permitted to refer that opportunity to the Company without violating another legal obligation. For more information, see “Management of the CompanyConflicts of Interests” ;
the continued indemnification of our existing directors and officers and the continuation of our directors’ and officers’ liability insurance after the Business Combination;
the fact that the Sponsor and our directors and officers will lose their entire investment in us and will not be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses if an initial business combination is not consummated by August 18, 2022; and
that, at the closing of the Business Combination, we will enter into the Registration Rights Agreement with the Sponsor and our directors and officers which provides for registration rights to such persons and their permitted transferees.
These interests may influence our directors and officers in making their recommendation that you vote in favor of the approval of the Business Combination.
Regulatory Approvals Required for the Business Combination (page 214)
Completion of the Business Combination is subject to approval under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the “HSR Act”). Each of MSP and the Company has agreed to use their respective reasonable best efforts to take all actions to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by the MIPA and use their reasonable best efforts to obtain each material third-party consent and approval required to be obtained in order to consummate the transactions set forth under the MIPA as promptly as practicable. On November 30, 2021, the Company and MSP filed the required forms under the HSR Act with respect to the Business Combination with the Antitrust Division and the FTC and requested early termination. The related HSR Act waiting period expired on December 30, 2021. The regulatory approvals to which completion of the Business Combination are subject are described in more detail in the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “Regulatory Approvals Required for the Business Combination” beginning on page 214.
Appraisal Rights (page 99)
Holders of our common stock are not entitled to appraisal rights in connection with the Business Combination under the DGCL.

Termination (page 224)
The MIPA may be terminated, and the transactions contemplated thereby abandoned at any time prior to Closing by mutual written consent or by either the Company or the Members’ Representative, on behalf of MSP and the Members, in the event that the Closing does not occur by June 30, 2022 (the “Outside Closing Date”) and no material breach of the MIPA by the party seeking to terminate the MIPA has occurred. The Company or the Members’ Representative, on behalf of MSP and the Members, may also terminate the MIPA if the other party materially breaches any representation, warranty, agreement or covenant contained in the MIPA or in any Additional Agreement (as defined in the MIPA) to be performed on or prior to the Closing Date and such breach is not cured by the earlier of (x) the Outside Closing Date and (y) the expiration of 20 days following receipt by the breaching party of a notice describing in reasonable detail the nature of such breach.
The MIPA may also be terminated by the Members’ Representative on behalf of MSP and the Members by written notice to the Company if (i) the LCAP Board withdraws (or modifies in any manner adverse to MSP or the Members), or proposes to withdraw (or modify in any manner adverse to MSP or the Members), the LCAP Board’s recommendation in favor of the Proposals, or fails to reaffirm such recommendation as promptly as practicable (and in any event within five business days) after receipt of any written request to do so by the Members’ Representative; (ii) the Condition Precedent Proposals shall not have been approved at the Special Meeting (or at any adjournment or postponement thereof); or (iii) following February 18, 2022 if, prior to such date, the Company is unable to obtain the requisite approval from its stockholders to extend the deadline for the Company to consummate its initial business combination beyond February 18, 2022 to a date no earlier than 60 days following the Outside Closing Date.
Effect of Termination
In the event of the termination of the MIPA pursuant to Article XIII thereof, all obligations of the parties thereunder (other than certain provisions relating to confidentiality, indemnification, the effects of termination or other specified provisions, which will survive the termination of the MIPA) will terminate without any liability of any party; provided, that no termination will relieve a party from any liability arising from or relating to any knowing and intentional breach of a representation, a warranty or a covenant by such party prior to termination.
Other Agreements (page 226)
LLC Agreement
Concurrently with the Closing, Opco will adopt the LLC Agreement whereby the Company will be named the sole manager of Opco. The LLC Agreement will authorize two classes of common units; voting economic Class A Units held solely by the Company and non-voting economic Class B Units to be issued as part of the Up-C Units in connection with the Business Combination. Holders of Class B Units will be able to exchange all or any portion of their Class B Units, together with the cancellation of an equal number of the paired shares of Class V Common Stock, for a number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to the number of exchanged Class B Units by delivering a written notice to the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company will be permitted, at its sole discretion, in lieu of delivering shares of Class A Common Stock for any Class B Units surrendered for exchange, to pay an amount in cash per Class B Unit equal to the arithmetic average of the volume weighted average prices for a share of Class A Common Stock as reported by Bloomberg, L.P., or its successor, for the five consecutive full trading days ending on and including the last full trading day immediately prior to the date of exchange. Additionally, pursuant to the LLC Agreement, certain of the Members are required on a bimonthly basis, to sell to Opco a number of Class B Units, and surrender a number of paired Class V Common Stock, equal to (x) the aggregate Exercise Price (as defined in the New Warrant Agreement) paid (including, as applicable, the aggregate Exercise Price paid in cash and the value of any shares of Class A Common Stock utilized in connection with any Exercise Price paid on a “cashless basis”) by all warrantholders in respect of New Warrants that have been exercised, divided by (y) the Exercise Price. The form of LLC Agreement is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex D.
Lock-up Agreement
In connection with the execution of the MIPA, John H. Ruiz and Frank C. Quesada (the “MSP Holders”) entered into lock-up agreements (each, a “Lock-up Agreement”) with the Company. Pursuant to the Lock-up Agreements, the MSP Holders agreed, among other things, that their Up-C Units and any shares of Class A Common Stock received in lieu of Up-C Units, subject to certain exclusions and exceptions (including, among other things, that 10% of the Up-C Units or shares of Class A Common Stock received by the MSP Holders are excluded from
15

TABLE OF CONTENTS

the lock-up restrictions), may not be transferred until the earlier to occur of (i) six months following Closing and (ii) the date after the Closing 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 equity holdings in the Company for cash, securities or other property. The form of Lock-up Agreement is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex K.
Sponsor Agreement
Concurrently with the execution of the MIPA, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Sponsor Agreement (the “Sponsor Agreement”) with Opco and certain directors and officers of the Company (the “Insiders”) pursuant to which the Sponsor and Insiders have agreed: (a) to vote any shares of common stock of the Company owned by it, him or her (all such shares of common stock, the “Covered Shares”) in favor of the Proposals at the Special Meeting or any other duly called special meeting of the Company’s stockholders (or any adjournment or postponement thereof) called or requested for the purpose of soliciting the approval of the Company’s stockholders in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination; (b) not redeem, elect to redeem or tender or submit any Covered Shares owned by it, him or her for redemption in connection with the transactions contemplated by the MIPA or any vote to amend the Existing Charter; and (c) subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Sponsor Agreement, not to transfer any shares of Class A Common Stock or any Private Warrants until the earlier of (i) six months after the consummation of the Business Combination or (ii) subsequent to the Business Combination, (x) if the closing 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 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 Class A Common Stock for cash, securities or other property. The Sponsor Agreement is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex G.
Registration Rights Agreement
The MIPA contemplates that, at the Closing, the Company, the Sponsor, certain Company stockholders, and certain Members will enter into the Registration Rights Agreement pursuant to which, among other things, the Company will agree to register for resale, pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act, the Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) that are held by and as appropriately requested by the parties thereto from time to time. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company will agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to file a registration statement registering the resale of the Registrable Securities within 45 days of receipt of a demand for registration by certain holders of Registrable Securities that are party thereto. Certain holders of Registerable Securities may request to sell all or any portion of their Registrable Securities in an underwritten offering so long as a majority-in-interest of such holders participate in and their Registrable Securities are included in the underwritten offering. The Company also will agree to provide customary “piggyback” registration rights, subject to certain requirements and customary conditions. The Registration Rights Agreement also provides that the Company will pay certain expenses relating to such registrations and indemnify the stockholders and underwriters against certain liabilities. The form of Registration Rights Agreement is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex E.
Tax Receivable Agreement
In connection with the MIPA and the reorganization of the Post-Combination Company into an Up-C structure, the Company, Opco, and certain of the Members will enter into a tax receivable agreement (the “Tax Receivable Agreement”) pursuant to which, among other things, the Company will pay to certain Members, 85% of the benefits, if any, that the Company realizes from an increase in tax basis and certain other tax benefits. The form of Tax Receivable Agreement is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex F. A corporation that owns a partnership is required to record the deferred tax related to its outside basis difference, which reflects the book basis compared to tax basis in the investment in the partnership. Under the no redemption scenario, there would be a deferred tax liability of approximately $1.5 million. Under the expense adjusted maximum redemption scenario, the Post-Combination Company would record a deferred tax liability of $4.1 million. Due to the uncertainty in the amount and timing of future exchanges of Up-C Units, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information assumes that no exchanges of Up-C Units have occurred at the Closing of the Business Combination and therefore no tax liability from future exchanges is reflected. However, if all of the stockholders holding Up-C Units
16

TABLE OF CONTENTS

were to exchange all of their Up-C Units, the Post-Combination Company would recognize a deferred tax asset of approximately $10.7 billion and a liability of approximately $9.1 billion, assuming (i) all exchanges occurred on the Closing Date; (ii) a price of $10.00 per share; (iii) a constant corporate tax rate of 26%; (iv) the Post-Combination Company will have sufficient taxable income to fully utilize the tax benefits; and (v) no material changes in tax law. See also “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information.
Escrow Agreement
In connection with the MIPA, the Company, Opco, the Members’ Representative and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company will enter into an Escrow Agreement, pursuant to which Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as the escrow agent, will hold in escrow the 6,000,000 Up-C Units set aside from the consideration and delivered by the Company to the escrow agent at the Closing and any earnings on such shares (other than ordinary income dividends) to satisfy each of MSP and the Members’ potential indemnification obligations under the MIPA. All property in the escrow account, less any amounts reserved for pending indemnification claims, will be released for distribution to the Members on the first anniversary of the Closing. The form of Escrow Agreement is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex I.
Legal Services Agreement
The MIPA contemplates that, at the Closing, Opco and La Ley con John H. Ruiz P.A., d/b/a MSP Recovery Law Firm, an affiliate of certain Members (the “Law Firm”), will enter into a Legal Services Agreement (“Legal Services Agreement”) whereby Opco will engage the Law Firm to act as exclusive lead counsel to represent Opco and each of its subsidiaries as it pertains to certain assigned claims, causes of actions, proceeds, products and distributions (“CCRAs”). Pursuant to the terms of the Legal Services Agreement, among other things, Opco will pay the Law Firm for its costs (including but not limited to rent, utilities, filing fees, expert witness fees, deposition fees, witness fees, court reporter fees, long distance telephone charges, photocopy charges and mailing fees, collectively, “Costs”) in connection with the representation with respect to the CCRAs as well as 40% of the amount due to Opco, or its subsidiaries, for the recoveries ultimately obtained before deduction of costs and any attorneys’ fees that are awarded to the Law Firm pursuant to a fee shifting statute by agreement or court award. The form of Legal Services Agreement is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex L.
New Warrant Agreement
In connection with the Business Combination and to provide additional consideration to holders of Class A Common Stock that do not redeem their shares of Class A Common Stock the Company intends, subject to compliance with applicable law, to declare a dividend comprising an aggregate of approximately 1,029,000,000 New Warrants, as further set forth herein. The New Warrants will be issued in registered form under a warrant agreement between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the “New Warrant Agreement”). The form of New Warrant Agreement is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex M.
Second Amended and Restated Charter
Pursuant to the terms of the MIPA, in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination, prior to the Closing, the Company will amend the Existing Charter to (a) increase the number of authorized shares of the Company’s capital stock, par value $0.0001 per share, from 111,000,000 shares, consisting of (i) 100,000,000 shares of the Class A Common Stock and 10,000,000 shares of the Class B Common Stock, and (ii) 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, to 8,760,000,000 shares, consisting of (i) 5,500,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock and 3,250,000,000 shares of Class V Common Stock and (ii) 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, (b) eliminate certain provisions in the Existing Charter relating to the Class B Common Stock, the initial business combination and other matters relating to the Company’s status as a blank-check company that will no longer be applicable to us following the Closing, and (c) approve and adopt any other changes contained in the Proposed Charter, a copy of which is attached as Annex B to this proxy statement/prospectus. In addition, we will amend the Existing Charter to change the name of the corporation to “MSP Recovery, Inc.”
Amended and Restated Bylaws
Pursuant to the terms of the MIPA, in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination, the Company will amend and restate its bylaws. The form of the Amended and Restated Bylaws is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex C.

In connection with the agreements relating to VRM, described more fully in this proxy statement/prospectus under the heading “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions—MSP and the Post-Combination Company – VRM” beginning on page 248, in connection with the Closing, the Company, Opco, Messrs. Ruiz and Quesada, MSP Recovery and VRM entered into a guaranty agreement (the “VRM Full Return Guaranty Agreement”), dated March 9, 2022, pursuant to which, among other things, if the VRM Full Return (defined below) has not been paid by distribution of recovery proceeds from VRM MSP to VRM prior to such time, then Messrs. Ruiz and Quesada, along with Opco and the Post-Combination Company, will guarantee the payment to VRM of any amount of the VRM Full Return, that remains unpaid at such time, on or prior to the one-year anniversary of the Closing by any of the following means (or any combination thereof): (a) sale of the 65,000,000 Up-C Units that are to be delivered by Messrs. Ruiz and Quesada at Closing and held in escrow (the “Reserved Shares”), and delivery of the resulting net cash proceeds thereof to VRM, or (b) sale of additional shares of Company Class A Common Stock and delivery of the net cash proceeds thereof to VRM. The “VRM Full Return” means an amount of recovery proceeds distributed (i) first, until VRM received, in the aggregate, a 20% annual compounded return on its contributions to VRM MSP, (ii) second, until VRM received an aggregate amount equal to its contributions to VRM MSP (the aggregate amount of clauses (i) and (ii), collectively, the “VRM Full Return”).

Information about MSP (page 148)
MSP is a healthcare recovery and data analytics company. MSP has also developed software that solves many of the proper payment issues currently being experienced by doctors, hospitals as well as other healthcare practitioners as well as payers within the healthcare system. The MSP systems provide a platform for providers to identify proper payers at the time of patient encounter and to collect payment more quickly, at proper amounts. MSP identified systemic issues relating to police reporting at the time of auto accidents and is in the process of developing software to solve these issues. This software system, utilizing blockchain technology, will involve the proper capture of data to assist first responders in identifying health conditions at the scene of accidents in order to properly treat individuals taking into account their health conditions for improved patient care. MSP’s system will also enable individuals to access their health care data, which will be encrypted stored and accessed through a cloud. Individuals can then choose to grant immediate data access to their healthcare practitioners, for healthcare services based on up-to-date patient medical information. MSP’s agreements allow for MSP to monetize the claims that are processed and properly identified. MSP’s business model includes two principal lines of business: (a) claims recovery and (b) “chase to pay” services. First, through the claims recovery services, MSP acquires claims via assignment from its Assignors and utilizes its proprietary data analytics system to identify improper payments for healthcare services. Upon identification of improper payments, MSP then seeks to recover the amounts owed to its Assignors against those parties who, under applicable law or contract, were primarily responsible for payment. Second, MSP has been developing the process of a real-time data analytics platform (“Chase to Pay”) to assist healthcare providers in identifying the proper primary insurer at the point of care, thereby helping MSP’s clients avoid making a wrongful payment for services rendered by a provider, as well as providing more efficient healthcare services. See the section entitled “Information About MSP” beginning on page 148 for more information.

SUMMARY UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The following summary unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial data (the “summary pro forma data”) gives effect to the Business Combination and related transactions described in the section entitled “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information”. The Business Combination is a common control transaction that will be accounted for similar to a reverse recapitalization, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded, in accordance with GAAP. Under this method of accounting, LCAP will be treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Business Combination will be treated as the equivalent of MSP issuing stock for the net assets of LCAP, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of LCAP will be stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. The summary unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet data as of December 31, 2021 gives pro forma effect to the Business Combination and related transactions as if they had occurred on December 31, 2021. The summary unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations data for the year ended December 31, 2021 give pro forma effect to the Business Combination and related transactions as if they had been consummated on January 1, 2021. For further details, see the section titled “Anticipated Accounting Treatment” beginning on page 214 of this proxy statement/prospectus.
The summary pro forma data have been derived from, and should be read in conjunction with, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information of the combined company appearing elsewhere in this proxy statement/ prospectus and the accompanying notes. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is based upon, and should be read in conjunction with, the historical financial statements of LCAP and related notes and the historical financial statements of MSP Recovery and related notes included in this proxy statement/prospectus. The summary pro forma data have been presented for informational purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of what the combined company’s financial position or results of operations actually would have been had the Business Combination and related transactions been completed as of the dates indicated. In addition, the summary pro forma data do not purport to project the future financial position or operating results of the combined company.
The following table presents summary pro forma data after giving effect to the Business Combination and related transactions, assuming two redemption scenarios as follows:
No Redemption Scenario: this scenario assumes that no additional shares of Class A Common Stock are redeemed, after giving effect to the redemption of 10,946,369 shares of Class A Common Stock in connection with the Company stockholder vote to approve the Extension Amendment.
Expense Adjusted Maximum Redemption Scenario: this scenario assumes that 5,401,587 shares of Class A Common Stock are redeemed for an aggregate payment of approximately $54.0 million (based on the estimated per share redemption price of approximately $10.00 per share) from the Trust Account. The remaining shares not redeemed include 650,000 shares of Class A Common Stock that are not subject to redemption as the shareholders have waived redemption rights. Cash available for the expense adjusted maximum redemption scenario is calculated as the cash in trust less remaining transaction costs to be paid in cash reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet.

Holders of the Class A Common Stock should obtain current market quotations for their securities. The market price of the Class A Common Stock could vary at any time before the Business Combination.
Holders
As of April 18, 2022, there were 16 holders of record of the Class A Common Stock and 7 holders of record of the Class B Common Stock.
Dividend Policy
The Company has not paid any cash dividends on its common stock to date and does not intend to pay cash dividends prior to the completion of the Business Combination. The payment of cash dividends in the future will be dependent upon the Post-Combination Company’s revenues and earnings, if any, capital requirements and its general financial condition subsequent to completion of the Business Combination. The payment of any cash dividends subsequent to the Business Combination will be within the discretion of the Board at such time. The Post-Combination Company’s ability to declare dividends may also be limited by restrictive covenants pursuant to any debt financing agreements.
In connection with the Business Combination and to provide additional consideration to holders of Class A Common Stock that do not redeem their shares of Class A Common Stock, the Company intends, subject to compliance with applicable law, to declare a dividend comprising an aggregate of approximately 1,029,000,000 New Warrants, conditioned upon the consummation of any redemptions by the holders of Class A Common Stock and the Closing, to the holders of record of the Class A Common Stock as of the Closing Date, after giving effect to the waiver of the right, title and interest in, to or under, participation in any such dividend by the Members, on behalf of themselves and any of their designees.
The Company intends to establish the close of business of the anticipated Closing Date as the Warrant Record Date for stockholders entitled to receive their pro rata portion of the approximately 1,029,000,000 New Warrants. The Warrant Record Date is expected to be determined at least 10 days prior to the Closing Date. The Company expects that a dividend of the New Warrants will be distributed following the Closing Date to stockholders of record as of the close of business on the Warrant Record Date, and after giving effect to the waiver of the right, title and interest in, to or under, participation in any such dividend by the Members, on behalf of themselves and any of their designees.
The number of New Warrants to be distributed in respect of each share of unredeemed Class A Common Stock is contingent upon, and will vary with, the aggregate number of shares of Class A Common Stock that are redeemed in connection with the Business Combination. Holders who choose to redeem their shares of Class A Common Stock will not receive any New Warrants. Public Stockholders who choose not to redeem their shares of Class A Common Stock will share in this fixed pool of New Warrants with other non-redeeming holders (on a pro-rata basis, based on the number of shares of Class A Common Stock held at the end of business on the Closing Date, which is expected to include the 5,750,000 shares of Class A Common Stock into which Founder Shares will convert in connection with the Business Combination). As a result, assuming the no redemption scenario and that the distribution is made, Public Stockholders who do not redeem their shares would receive at least 55 New Warrants per share of Class A Common Stock they hold, which would proportionally increase if other holders elect to redeem their shares of Class A Common Stock. We believe this structure will likely lead to a lower level of redemptions, and therefore, we will likely have more funds available for our Business Combination. Pursuant to the terms of the Existing Warrant Agreement, the exercise price of the Public Warrants and Private Warrants could decrease to $0.0001 after giving effect to the issuance of the New Warrants. Pursuant to the terms of the LLC Agreement, at least twice a month, to the extent any New Warrants have been exercised in accordance with their terms, the Post-Combination Company

TABLE OF CONTENTS

SUMMARY RISK FACTORS
You should consider all the information contained in this proxy statement/prospectus in deciding how to vote for the proposals presented in this proxy statement/prospectus. In particular, you should consider the risk factors described under “Risk Factors” beginning on page 29.
Such risks include, but are not limited to:
MSP has a history of net losses and no substantial revenue to date, and it may not generate recoveries, create significant revenue or achieve profitability. Its relatively limited operating history makes it difficult to evaluate current business and future prospects and increases the risk of your investment.
MSP has a limited history of actual recoveries to date as a result of cases that are still in litigation, and there are risks associated with estimating the amount of revenue that MSP will recognize from potential recoveries. If MSP’s projections are not realized, it would impact the timing and the amount of MSP’s revenue recognition and have a material adverse effect on its business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Under some agreements with Assignors, MSP assumes the risk of failure to recover on the assigned claims, and if it fails to make recoveries with respect to the assigned claims and therefore is unable to generate recovery proceeds greater than or equal to the expenses it incurred in the limited times where it paid to purchase the assigned claims, such losses can adversely affect MSP’s business.
A significant portion of MSP’s recovery collections relies upon its success in individual, class action or mass aggregated claims in lawsuits brought against third parties, which are inherently unpredictable, as is MSP’s ability to collect on judgments in its favor.
MSP’s recoveries are dependent upon the court system, and unfavorable court rulings or delays can adversely affect its recovery efforts and business.
MSP’s recoveries are materially reduced by its fee sharing arrangement with the Law Firm.
Litigation outcomes are inherently risky and difficult to predict, and an adverse outcome may result in complete loss of MSP’s claims associated with that matter (or a complete loss in value associated with those claims).
Despite MSP’s success as it relates to its assignments in published appellate decisions, MSP’s assignments can be deemed invalid in court, which could adversely affect its recoveries and its business.
Courts may find some of MSP’s damages calculations to include claim lines that are unreasonable, unrelated, or unnecessary.
The Post-Combination Company’s only significant asset will be its ownership interest in Opco. Such ownership may not be sufficient to pay dividends or make distributions or loans to enable it to pay any dividends on common stock or satisfy other financial obligations.
The Initial Stockholders have agreed to vote in favor of the Business Combination described in this proxy statement/prospectus, regardless of how Public Stockholders vote.
A market for the Company’s securities may not continue, which would adversely affect the liquidity and price of our securities.
If the Business Combination’s benefits do not meet the expectations of investors, stockholders or financial analysts, the market price of the Company’s securities may decline.
If third parties bring claims against the Company, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be reduced and the per share redemption amount received by stockholders may be less than $10.00 per share.
The Company’s independent directors may decide not to enforce the indemnification obligations of the Sponsor, resulting in a reduction in the amount of funds in the Trust Account available for distribution to Public Stockholders.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

RISK FACTORS
In addition to the other information contained in this proxy statement/prospectus, including the matters addressed under the heading “Forward-Looking Statements,” you should carefully consider the following risk factors in deciding how to vote on the proposals presented in this proxy statement/prospectus.
Risks Related to MSP’s Business and Industry
In this section “we,”“us,” “our” and other similar terms refer to MSP and its subsidiaries prior to the Business Combination and to the Post-Combination Company following the Business Combination.
We have a history of net losses and no substantial revenue to date, and we may not achieve recoveries, generate significant revenue or achieve profitability. Our relatively limited operating history makes it difficult to evaluate our current business and future prospects and increases the risk of your investment.
Our relatively limited operating history makes it difficult to evaluate our current business and plan for our future growth. MSP Recovery started in 2014 with its very first assignment from a health plan in Miami, Florida. To date we have achieved no substantial revenue and limited actual recoveries from our assigned claims, and there is no guarantee that we will achieve recoveries, revenue and profitability as we have projected. We have encountered and will continue to encounter significant risks and uncertainties frequently experienced by new and growing companies in rapidly changing industries, such as determining appropriate investments for our limited resources, competition from other data analytics companies, acquiring and retaining Assignors, hiring, integrating, training and retaining skilled personnel, unforeseen expenses, challenges in forecasting accuracy and successfully integrating new strategies. If we are unable to achieve actual recoveries, increase our Assignor base, successfully manage our recovery efforts from third-party payers or successfully expand, our revenue and our ability to achieve and sustain profitability would be impaired. If our assumptions regarding these and other similar risks and uncertainties, which we use to plan our business, are incorrect or change as we gain more experience operating our business or due to changes in our industry, or if we do not address these challenges successfully, our operating and financial results could differ materially from our expectations and our business could suffer.
We have a limited history of actual recoveries to date, and there are risks associated with estimating the amount of revenue that we recognize from the recovery. If our estimates of revenue are materially inaccurate, it would impact the timing and the amount of our revenue recognition and have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
We have a limited track record of generating actual recoveries and related revenue from the claims we have purchased or otherwise been assigned. There are risks associated with estimating the amount of future recoveries and revenues that we may achieve under our assigned claims. Our estimates and projections depend on significant assumptions and involve significant risks which could cause our actual results to vary materially.
Examples of material assumptions we make include, but are not limited to:
Our assessment that the assigned claims are potentially recoverable claims;
The achievement of multiples above the paid amount of potentially recoverable claims; and
The length (and cost) of litigation required to achieve recoveries.
Any of these assumptions may prove over time to be materially inaccurate. If our estimates of revenues are materially inaccurate, it could impact the timing and the amount of our revenue recognition and have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Under most of our agreements with Assignors, we assume the risk of failure to recover on the assigned claims, and if we fail to make recoveries with respect to the assigned claims receivables and therefore, are unable to generate recovery proceeds greater than or equal to the amounts paid by us to purchase the assigned claims, it can adversely affect our business.
In many instances, we pay our Assignors an upfront purchase price for assignment of their healthcare claims recoveries. Accordingly, there is a risk that we may not successfully recapture the upfront purchase price if we fail to make recoveries with respect to the assigned claims. If we fail to generate significant recovery proceeds with respect to the assigned claims, it would have an adverse effect on our profitability and business.
29

TABLE OF CONTENTS

A significant portion of our recovery collections relies upon our success in individual lawsuits brought against third parties, which are inherently unpredictable, and our ability to collect on judgments in our favor.
We generate, and expect to generate, a significant portion of our revenue by collecting on judgments that are granted by courts in lawsuits filed against insurers, tortfeasors, and other liable parties. A decrease in the willingness of courts to grant these judgments, a change in the requirements for filing these cases or obtaining these judgments, or a decrease in our ability to collect on these judgments could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results. As we increase our use of the legal channels for collections, our short-term margins may decrease as a result of an increase in upfront court costs and costs related to counter claims. We may not be able to collect on certain aged claims because of applicable statutes of limitations and we may be subject to adverse effects of regulatory changes.
Our recoveries are dependent upon the court system, and unfavorable court rulings, delays, damages calculations or other limitations can adversely affect our recovery efforts and our business.
Typically, we must file actions in court to recover monies related to those paid by our Assignors and a substantial amount of our recoveries are dependent on the courts. Because we rely on the courts to adjudicate recoveries, we can be subject to adverse court rulings, significant delays, damages calculations or other limitations, each of which can negatively impact our business and recovery efforts.
For example, from time to time, the courts dismiss our cases with or without prejudice. When one of our cases is dismissed without prejudice, we can refile the action. Accordingly, we retain the ability to bring those claims in a recovery action. When our case is dismissed with prejudice, we cannot refile the action. Accordingly, we lose the ability to pursue such claims. We cannot guarantee that we will not receive adverse rulings in court. Historically, we have received adverse rulings such as:
Dismissal for failure to file within the applicable statute of limitations.
Dismissal because an assignment did not include the claim that was brought in court (or such assignment was found to be invalid).
Dismissal for lack of standing to assert claims.
Dismissal for lack of personal jurisdiction.
Dismissal for lack of subject matter jurisdiction.
Dismissal for pleading deficiencies.
Additionally, in certain of our cases, our recoveries may be limited as a function of courts’ damages calculations. For example, in certain antitrust matters, recoveries may be limited to the difference between the price that a drug manufacturer charged for the drug and the price of the drug absent the relevant anticompetitive action. The list above is not exhaustive of unfavorable rulings, damages calculations or other limitations which we may or have encountered. We can be subject to many other unfavorable rulings, damages calculations or limitations which are not listed above. Such unfavorable rulings, damages calculations or other limitations can negatively affect our business and our recovery efforts.
Litigation outcomes are inherently risky and difficult to predict, and an adverse outcome may result in complete loss of our claims associated with that matter (or a complete loss in value associated with those claims).
It is difficult to predict litigation outcomes, particularly complex litigation of the type that forms the basis of our business. If we do not succeed in the litigation, if the damages awarded in our favor are less than what we expected or if it is not possible to successfully enforce a favorable judgment, we could suffer a variety of adverse consequences, including complete loss of our claims associated with that matter and, in some jurisdictions, liability for the adverse costs of the successful party to the litigation. Unfavorable litigation outcomes could, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Our assignments can be deemed invalid in court which could adversely affect our recoveries and our business.
We typically receive assignments of healthcare claims recoveries from our Assignors via irrevocable assignments. Accordingly, we are able to pursue those claims that our Assignors originally owned. Enforceability of our assignment agreements are often challenged by defendants in court. If a court determines that an assignment agreement is invalid (whether due to a technical deficiency or regulatory prohibition or otherwise), we will lose the ability to pursue those claims. This can adversely affect our recovery efforts and our business.
30

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Courts may find some of our damages calculations to include expenses that are unreasonable, unrelated, or unnecessary.
Our damage calculations at times include medical expenses paid by our Assignors that the courts may deem unreasonable, unrelated or unnecessary. Accordingly, a court may find our damages calculations to be incorrect which could lead to lower than anticipated recoveries. Such a result can adversely affect our business and our recoveries.
Some of our recoveries may be subject to different interpretations of the applicable statutes of limitations.
Our recoveries can be subject to different interpretations of the applicable statutes of limitations. Therefore, recovery claims made in some forums may be brought later in another forum. Failure to bring our claims within the applicable limitations period in the selected forum can result in having our claim dismissed as untimely and can adversely affect our business and our recoveries.
Our fee sharing arrangement with the Law Firm materially reduces our recoveries.
We enter into legal services agreements with the Law Firm and the various entities that hold claims. The Law Firm is engaged to act as exclusive lead counsel to represent MSP Recovery and each of its subsidiaries and affiliates (or other applicable entity) as it pertains to the Assigned Claims, on a contingency basis. The Law Firm engages outside litigation counsel from around the nation as co-counsel and these arrangements are made directly between the Law Firm and other counsel. For the services provided, the Law Firm typically collects a 40% fee of the 50% recoveries due to MSP. This contingency fee can change in the future. The Law Firm is also entitled to attorney’s fees that are awarded to the Law Firm pursuant to any fee shifting statute, by agreement, or court award. An increase in these fees would further adversely affect our net recoveries. For more information about our fee sharing arrangement, see “Information about MSP—Scale of Current Portfolio” and “—Fee Sharing Arrangement.”
We may experience delays due to inconsistent court rulings.
Inconsistent court rulings on different cases can create delays in our recovery efforts. This uncertainty may have an adverse impact on our recoveries and our business.
We may experience delays and other uncertainties surrounding the effects of COVID-19 on the judicial system calendar and capacity.
We continue to closely monitor the impact of the global COVID-19 pandemic on all aspects of our business. We face potential delays in resolving pending legal matters as a result of court, administrative and other closures and delays as a result of COVID-19 in many of the jurisdictions in which we operate. The ultimate content, timing or effect of any potential future legislation or litigation and the outcome of other lawsuits cannot be predicted and may be delayed as a result of court closures and reduced court dockets as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Assignors may pursue recovery on claims directly or may use recovery agents other than us in connection with the Assignor’s efforts to recover on claims.
With respect to the Assignors of the assigned claims, some of our agreements exclude from the assignment of claims those claims that are assigned to or being pursued by other recovery vendors of the Assignor at the time of the assignment. We have identified instances where the Assignor did not filter its data provided to us to account for such exclusions. This resulted in some claims being identified by us for purposes of our recovery estimates. This also has resulted in other recovery agents of the Assignor making collections on claims that we previously believed were assigned to us. Although we endeavor to seek appropriate clarification from Assignors to properly identify claims that are being pursued by other recovery vendors, due to the nature and volume of data, it may not be possible to identify with precision all such claims. While we do not believe any overlap with other recovery vendors with respect to assigned claims to be material, there can be no assurance as to the ultimate impact on our recoveries or our business.
If lawyers we rely on to litigate claims and defenses do not exercise due skill and care, or the interests of their clients do not align with ours, there may be a material adverse effect on the value of our assets.
We are particularly reliant on lawyers to litigate claims and defenses with due skill and care. If they are unable or unwilling to do this for any reason, it is likely to have a material adverse effect on the value of our assets. We may have limited experience or no prior dealings with such lawyers and there can be no guarantee that the outcome of a case will be in line with our or the lawyers’ assessment of the case or that such lawyers will perform with the expected skill and care.
31

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Our business and future growth depend on our ability to successfully expand the volume of our healthcare claims and obtain data from new Assignors and healthcare claims from our existing Assignor base.
We expect a significant portion of our future revenue growth to come from expanding the volume of claims we are assigned; this includes obtaining claims and data from new Assignors as well as our existing Assignors. Our efforts to do so may not be successful. If we are unable to successfully expand the scope of healthcare claims assigned from potential and existing Assignors, it could have a material adverse effect on our growth and on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
The positions we will typically acquire in connection with our acquisition of claims are unsecured and may be effectively subordinated to other obligations.
The types of claims we invest in are typically unsecured, and therefore will be subordinated to existing or future secured obligations and may be subordinated to other unsecured obligations of the parties against which we seek recoveries. The repayment of these claims and rights is subject to significant uncertainties. The holders of other obligations may have priority over us to collect amounts due to them and therefore would be entitled to be paid in full before assets would be available for distribution to us.
Our investments in claims may entail special risks including, but not limited to, fraud on the part of the Assignor of the claim.
One concern in investing in claims is the possibility of material misrepresentations or omissions on the part of an Assignor, underlying beneficiary or other counterparty (e.g., some Assignors may set out to defraud investors like us). For example, an Assignor may misrepresent the quality, validity or existence of a claim or other information provided to us. There is no assurance we will detect such fraud and any inaccuracy or incompleteness, if undetected, may adversely affect the valuation of one or more claims and adversely affect our business and performance. Under certain circumstances, recoveries may be reclaimed if any such payment or distribution is later determined to have been a fraudulent conveyance.
Internal improvements to healthcare claims and retail billing processes by our Assignors could reduce the need for, and revenue generated by, our solutions, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We offer solutions that help our Assignors enhance payment accuracy in an increasingly complex environment, including through our Chase to Pay platform. Over time, our work may increase compliance amongst third-party payers. If such processes continue to improve, demand for our solutions could be reduced. With enough time and investment, many of our Assignors may be able to reduce or resolve recurring payment process complexities and resulting payment inaccuracies. As the skills, experience and resources of such technology, systems and personnel improve, they may be able to identify payment inaccuracies before using our services, which would reduce the payment inaccuracies identified by our solutions and our ability to generate revenue, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Healthcare spending fluctuations, simplification of the healthcare delivery and reimbursement system, programmatic changes to the scope of benefits and limitations to payment integrity initiatives could reduce the need for our data-driven solutions, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our solutions improve our Assignors’ ability to accurately pay healthcare claims and prevent or recover inaccurate payments, which often are a result of complexities in the healthcare claims payment system. Although the healthcare benefit and payment systems continue to grow in complexity due to factors such as increased regulation and increased healthcare enrollment, the need for and user adoption of our solutions and/or the scope and profitability of the solutions that we provide to our Assignors could be negatively affected by, among other things:
simplification of the U.S. healthcare delivery and reimbursement systems, either through shifts in the commercial healthcare marketplace or through legislative or regulatory changes at the federal or state level;
reductions in the scope of private sector or government healthcare benefits (for example, decisions to eliminate coverage of certain services);
the transition of healthcare beneficiaries from fee-for-service plans to value-based plans;
32

TABLE OF CONTENTS

the adoption of healthcare plans with significantly higher deductibles;
limits placed on payment integrity initiatives, including the Medicare RAC program; and
lower than projected growth in private health insurance or the various Medicare and Medicaid programs, including Medicare Advantage.
Any of these developments could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
If our existing Assignors prematurely terminate their agreement with us or if either party materially breaches an agreement, and we can no longer receive future assignments of healthcare claims recoveries, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We expect in the future to derive, a significant portion of our revenue from our existing Assignors and, accordingly, we are reliant on ongoing data transfers and the associated assignments of claims from existing Assignors. As a result, maintaining these relationships is critical to our future growth and our business, financial condition and results of operations. We may experience significantly more difficulty than we anticipate in maintaining our existing Assignor agreements. Factors that may affect our ability to continue providing our services under such agreements for our services and our ability to sell additional solutions include:
the price, performance and functionality of our solutions;
the availability, price, performance and functionality of competing solutions;
our Assignors’ perceived ability to review claims accurately using their internal resources;
our ability to develop complementary solutions;
our continued ability to access the data necessary to enable us to effectively develop and deliver new solutions to Assignors;
the stability and security of our platform;
changes in healthcare laws, regulations or trends; and
the business environment of our Assignors.
Pursuant to the claims recovery and assignment agreements with our Assignors, the Assignors may choose to discontinue one or more services under an existing contract, may exercise flexibilities within their contracts to adjust service volumes, may breach or terminate the contract prior to its agreed upon completion date. A material breach by either party to the agreement may also result in the termination of receiving future claims. Any such occurrences could reduce our revenue from these Assignors. Although a cancellation or termination of a contract does not revoke the original assignment from our Assignors in many instances because such assignment was irrevocable, termination still affects future transfers of data and future assignment of claims. Accordingly, such cancellations or terminations can constrain our growth and result in a decrease in revenue which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
If we are unable to develop new Assignor relationships, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
As part of our strategy, we seek to develop new Assignor relationships, principally among healthcare payers and providers. Our ability to develop new relationships depends on a variety of factors, including the quality and performance of our solutions, as well as the ability to market and sell our solutions effectively and differentiate ourselves from our competitors. We may not be successful in developing new Assignor relationships. If we are unable to develop new Assignor relationships, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
In some events, we may act as a servicing agent for another party. If one of these parties terminates their agreement with us or if either party materially breaches an agreement it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Sometimes, we may provide our services as a servicing agent to third parties. These services include, but are not limited to, identifying, processing, prosecuting and recovering monies related to recoverable claims. As a servicing agent, we will act as an independent contractor on behalf of a contracting party who owns the rights to
33

TABLE OF CONTENTS

certain recoverable claims. If a party terminates such servicing agreement with us, or if either party is in default of any servicing agreement, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We have long sales and implementation cycles for many of our data-driven solutions and if we fail to close sales after expending time and resources, or if we experience delays in implementing the solutions, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Potential customers generally perform a thorough evaluation of available payment accuracy solutions and require us to expend time, effort and money educating them as to the value of our solutions prior to entering into a contract with them. We may expend significant funds and management resources during the sales cycle and ultimately fail to close the sale. Our sales cycle may be extended due to our potential customer’s budgetary constraints or for other reasons. In addition, following a successful sale, the implementation of our systems frequently involves a lengthy process, as we onboard the new customer’s healthcare data into our proprietary systems. If we are unsuccessful in closing sales after expending funds and management resources or if we experience delays in such sales or in implementing our solutions, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
If our Assignors’ risk agreements change, it can have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Many of our Assignors are first-tier entities, as defined in 42 CFR § 422.2. A first-tier entity is a party that enters into a written arrangement, acceptable to CMS, with an MAO or applicant to provide administrative services or healthcare services for a Medicare eligible individual under the Medicare Advantage program. These entities enter into risk agreements with downstream entities, as defined under 42 CFR § 422.2. If these agreements change or include any restrictions on the assignability of claims, it can have a material adverse effect on our recoveries, business, financial condition, and results of operations.
We obtain and process a large amount of sensitive data. Our systems and networks may be subject to cyber-security breaches and other disruptions that could compromise our information. Any real or perceived improper use of, disclosure of, or access to such data could harm our reputation as a trusted brand, as well as have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We use, obtain and process large amounts of confidential, sensitive and proprietary data, including protected health information (“PHI”) subject to regulation under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, as amended by the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act of 2009, and personally identifiable information (“PII”) subject to state and federal privacy, security and breach notification laws. The secure processing and maintenance of this information is critical to our operations and business strategy. We face risks associated with new and untested personnel, processes and technologies which have recently been implemented to augment our security and privacy management programs. If our security measures or those of the third-party vendors we use who have access to this information are inadequate or are breached as a result of third-party action, employee error, malfeasance, malware, phishing, hacking attacks, system error, trickery or otherwise, and, as a result, someone obtains unauthorized access to sensitive information, including PHI and PII, on our systems or our providers’ systems, our reputation and business could be damaged. We cannot guarantee that our security efforts will prevent breaches or breakdowns to our or our third-party vendors’ databases or systems.
In addition, our operations are spread across the United States and Puerto Rico and we rely heavily on technology to communicate internally and efficiently perform our services. We have implemented measures that are designed to mitigate the potential adverse effects of a disruption, relocation or change in operating environment; however, we cannot provide assurance that the situations we plan for and the amount of insurance coverage that we maintain will be adequate in any particular case. In addition, despite system redundancy and security measures, our systems and operations are vulnerable to damage or interruption from, among other sources:
power loss, transmission cable cuts and telecommunications failures;
damage or interruption caused by fire, earthquake and other natural disasters;
attacks by hackers or nefarious actors;
human error;
34

TABLE OF CONTENTS

computer viruses and other malware, or software defects; and
physical break-ins, sabotage, intentional acts of vandalism, terrorist attacks and other events beyond our control.
If we encounter a business interruption, if we fail to effectively maintain our information systems, if it takes longer than we anticipate to complete required upgrades, enhancements or integrations or if our business continuity plans and business interruption insurance do not effectively compensate on a timely basis, we could suffer operational disruptions, disputes with Assignors, civil or criminal penalties, regulatory problems, increases in administrative expenses, loss of our ability to produce timely and accurate financial and other reports or other adverse consequences, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Because of the large amount of data that we collect and manage, it is possible that hardware failures or errors in our systems could result in data loss or corruption or cause the information that we collect to be incomplete or contain inaccuracies that our partners regard as significant. If our data were found to be inaccurate or unreliable due to fraud or other error, or if we, or any of the third-party service providers we engage, were to fail to maintain information systems and data integrity effectively, we could experience operational disruptions that may hinder our ability to provide services, establish appropriate pricing for services, retain and attract Assignors, establish reserves, report financial results timely and accurately and maintain regulatory compliance, among other things. Additionally, as Assignors maintain their own supporting documentation, data and records, it is possible that they may provide us with erroneous or inaccurate data. The occurrence of any of these events could cause our solutions to be perceived as vulnerable, cause our Assignors to lose confidence in our solutions, negatively affect our ability to attract new Assignors and cause existing Assignors to terminate or not renew our solutions. If the information is lost, improperly disclosed or threatened to be disclosed, we could incur significant liability and be subject to regulatory scrutiny and penalties. Furthermore, we could be forced to expend significant resources in response to a security breach, including investigating the cause of the breach, repairing system damage, increasing cyber-security protection costs by deploying additional personnel and protection technologies, notifying and providing credit monitoring to affected individuals, paying regulatory fines and litigating and resolving legal claims and regulatory actions, all of which could increase our expenses and divert the attention of our management and key personnel away from our business operations.
In addition, if our own confidential business information were improperly disclosed, our business could be materially adversely affected. A core aspect of our business is the reliability and security of our technology platform. Any perceived or actual breach of security could have a significant impact on our reputation as a trusted brand, cause us to lose existing Assignors, prevent us from obtaining new Assignors, require us to expend significant funds to remedy problems caused by breaches and to implement measures to prevent further breaches, and expose us to legal risk and potential liability. Any security breach at a third-party vendor providing services to us could have similar effects. Any breach or disruption of any systems or networks on which we rely could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Our information technology strategy and execution are critical to our continued success. We expect to continue to invest in long-term solutions that will enable us to continue being a differentiator in the market and to protect against cybersecurity risks and threats. Our success is dependent, in large part, on maintaining the effectiveness of existing technology systems and continuing to deliver and enhance technology systems that support our business processes in a cost-efficient and resource-efficient manner. Increasing regulatory and legislative changes will place additional demands on our information technology infrastructure that could have a direct impact on resources available for other projects tied to our strategic initiatives. In addition, recent trends toward greater patient engagement in health care require new and enhanced technologies, including more sophisticated applications for mobile devices. Connectivity among technologies is becoming increasingly important. We must also develop new systems to meet current market standards and keep pace with continuing changes in information processing technology, evolving industry and regulatory standards and patient needs. Failure to do so may present compliance challenges and impede our ability to deliver services in a competitive manner. Further, because system development projects are long-term in nature, they may be more costly than expected to complete and may not deliver the expected benefits upon completion. Our failure to effectively invest in, implement improvements to and properly maintain the uninterrupted operation and data integrity of our information technology and other business systems could adversely affect our results of operations, financial position and cash flow.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

If we fail to innovate and develop new solutions, or if these new solutions are not adopted by existing and potential Assignors or other users, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our results of operations and continued growth will depend on our ability to successfully develop and market new solutions that our existing and potential Assignors or other users are willing to adopt. For example, as part of our “Chase to Pay” model, we launched LifeWallet in January 2022, a platform designed to organize and facilitate access to users’ medical records. We cannot provide assurance that our new or modified solutions will be responsive to Assignor or users preferences or industry changes, or that the product and service development initiatives we prioritize will yield the gains that we anticipate, if any.
If we are unable to predict market preferences or if our industry changes, or if we are unable to modify our solutions on a timely basis, we may lose Assignors or fail to attract new ones. If existing Assignors are not willing to adopt new solutions, or if potential Assignors or other users do not value such new solutions, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Certain of our activities present the potential for identity theft or similar illegal behavior by our employees or contractors with respect to third parties, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our solutions involve the use and disclosure of personal information that in some cases could be used to impersonate third parties or otherwise improperly gain access to their data or funds. If any of our employees or contractors take, convert, or misuse such information, or we experience a data breach creating a risk of identity theft, we could be liable for damages and our business reputation could be damaged. In addition, we could be perceived to have facilitated or participated in illegal misappropriation of documents or data and, therefore, be subject to civil or criminal liability. In addition, federal and state regulators may take the position that a data breach or misdirection of data constitutes an unfair or deceptive act or trade practice. We also may be required to notify individuals affected by any data breaches. Further, a data breach or similar incident could impact the ability of our Assignors that are creditors to comply with the federal “red flags” rules, which require the implementation of identity theft prevention programs to detect, prevent and mitigate identity theft in connection with Assignor accounts, which could be costly. If data utilized in our solutions are misappropriated for the purposes of identity theft or similar illegal behavior, it could have a material adverse effect on our reputation, business, financial condition and results of operations.
If we fail to comply with applicable privacy, security and data laws, regulations and standards, including with respect to third-party service providers that utilize sensitive personal information on our behalf, it could have a material adverse effect on our reputation, business, financial condition and results of operations.
In order to provide our services and solutions, we often receive, process, transmit and store PHI and PII of individuals, as well as other financial, confidential and proprietary information belonging to our Assignors and third parties from which we obtain information (e.g., private insurance companies, financial institutions, etc.). The receipt, maintenance, protection, use, transmission, disclosure, and disposal of this information is regulated at the federal, state, international and industry levels and we are also obligated by our contractual requirements with customers. These laws, rules and requirements are subject to frequent change. Compliance with new privacy and security laws, regulations and requirements may result in increased operating costs and may constrain or require us to alter our business model or operations. For example, we are subject to federal regulation as a result of the Final Omnibus Privacy, Security, Breach Notification and Enforcement Rules (the “Omnibus Final Rule”) amendments to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, as amended by the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act of 2009. We collectively refer to these acts and their implementing federal regulations, including the Omnibus Final Rule, as “HIPAA.”
HIPAA establishes privacy and security standards that limit our use and disclosure of PHI and requires us to implement administrative, physical and technical safeguards to ensure the confidentiality, integrity and availability of PHI, as well as notify our covered entity customers of breaches of unsecured PHI and security incidents. HIPAA also imposes direct penalties on us for violations of its requirements. In addition to HIPAA, we are also subject to varying state laws governing the use and disclosure of PII, including medical record information, as well as state laws requiring notification in case of a breach of such information. The Omnibus Final Rule significantly increased the risk of liability to us, our business associates and subcontractors by making us directly subject to many of HIPAA’s requirements and made more incidents of inadvertent disclosure reportable and subject to penalties.
36

TABLE OF CONTENTS

We act as a business associate to our covered entity customers because we collect, use, disclose and maintain PHI in order to provide services to these customers. HIPAA requires us to enter into satisfactory written business associate agreements with our covered entity customers, which contain specified written assurances that we will safeguard PHI that we create or access and will fulfill other material obligations. Under the Omnibus Final Rule, we may be held directly liable under our business associate agreements and HIPAA for any violations of HIPAA. Therefore, we could face contractual liability with our Assignors as well as liability to the government under HIPAA if we do not comply with our business associate obligations and those provisions of HIPAA that are applicable to us. While we take measures to comply with applicable laws and regulations as well as our internal privacy policies, such laws, regulations and related legal standards for privacy and security continue to evolve and any failure or perceived failure to comply with applicable laws, regulations and standards may result in threatened or actual proceedings, actions and public statements against us by government entities, private parties, consumer advocacy groups or others, or could cause us to lose Assignors, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. The penalties for a violation of HIPAA are significant and, if imposed, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. While we have included protections in our contracts with our third-party service providers, as required by the Omnibus Final Rule, we have limited oversight or control over their actions and practices. In addition, we could also be exposed to data breach risk if there is unauthorized access to one of our or our subcontractors’ secured facilities or from lost or stolen laptops, other portable media from current or former employee theft of data containing PHI, from misdirected mailings containing PHI, or other forms of administrative or operational error. HHS conducts audits to assess HIPAA compliance efforts by covered entities and business associates. An audit resulting in findings or allegations of noncompliance could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position and cash flows.
Additional risks include our ability to effectively manage growth, process, store, protect and use personal data in compliance with governmental regulation, contractual obligations and other legal obligations related to privacy and security and manage our obligations as a provider of healthcare services under Medicare and Medicaid.
Noncompliance or findings of noncompliance with applicable laws, regulations or requirements, or the occurrence of any privacy or security breach involving the misappropriation, loss or other unauthorized disclosure of sensitive personal information, whether by us or by one of our third-party service providers, could have a material adverse effect on our reputation and business, including, among other consequences, mandatory disclosure to the media, loss of existing or new Assignors, significant increases in the cost of managing and remediating privacy or security incidents and material fines, penalties and litigation awards, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position and cash flows. Further, if such laws and regulations are not enforced equally against other competitors in a particular market, our compliance with such laws may put us a competitive disadvantage vis-à-vis competitors who do not comply with such requirements.
We have Assignors throughout the United States and our solutions may contain healthcare information of patients located across all 50 states and Puerto Rico. Therefore, we may be subject to the privacy laws of each such jurisdiction, which may vary and, in some cases, can impose more restrictive requirements than federal law. Where state laws are more protective, we have to comply with the stricter provisions. In addition to fines and penalties imposed upon violators, some of these state laws also afford private rights of action to individuals who believe their personal information has been misused. California’s patient privacy laws, for example, provide for penalties of up to $250,000 and permit injured parties to sue for damages. The interplay of federal and state laws may be subject to varying interpretations by courts and government agencies, creating complex compliance issues for us and our Assignors and potentially exposing us to additional expense, adverse publicity and liability. Further, as regulatory focus on privacy issues continues to increase and laws and regulations concerning the protection of personal information expand and become more complex, these potential risks to our business could intensify. Changes in laws or regulations associated with the enhanced protection of certain types of sensitive data, such as PHI or PII, along with increased customer demands for enhanced data security infrastructure, could greatly increase our cost of providing our services, decrease demand for our services, reduce our revenue and/or subject us to additional liabilities.
The following legal and regulatory developments also could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations:
amendment, enactment, or interpretation of laws and regulations that restrict the access and use of personal information and reduce the supply of data available to Assignors;
changes in cultural and consumer attitudes to favor further restrictions on information collection and sharing, which may lead to regulations that prevent full utilization of our solutions;
37

TABLE OF CONTENTS

failure of our solutions to comply with current laws and regulations; and
failure of our solutions to adapt to changes in the regulatory environment in an efficient, cost-effective manner.
Changes in legislation, both federal and state, or in laws relating to healthcare programs and policies, and steps we take in anticipation of such changes, particularly as they relate to the Medicare Secondary Payer Act and Medicare and Medicaid programs, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Approximately 88% of our expected recoveries arise from claims being brought under the Medicare Secondary Payer Act. This law allows us to pursue recoveries against Primary Payers for reimbursement of medical expenses that our Assignors paid for when Primary Payers (i.e. liability insurers) were responsible for payment. While we believe we have been successful at both the federal and state level in establishing a legal basis for our recoveries, changes to the laws on which we base our recoveries, particularly the Medicare Secondary Payer Act, can adversely affect our business. Also, any changes to the Federal Medicare and Medicaid programs can affect our ability to attract new Assignors and acquire new data, thus substantially affecting our business, growth and recoveries. If the Medicare Secondary Payer Act is substantially changed or repealed, it could significantly reduce our potential recoveries and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Changes in the United States healthcare environment, or in laws relating to healthcare programs and policies, and steps we take in anticipation of such changes, particularly as they relate to the Affordable Care Act and Medicare and Medicaid programs, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
The healthcare industry in the United States is subject to a multitude of changing political, economic and regulatory influences that affect every aspect of our healthcare system. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the Health Care and Education Affordability Reconciliation Act (the “Affordable Care Act”), made major changes in how healthcare is delivered and reimbursed, and generally increased access to health insurance benefits to the uninsured and underinsured population of the United States. Among other things, the Affordable Care Act increased the number of individuals with Medicaid and private insurance coverage, implemented reimbursement policies that tie payment to quality, facilitated the creation of accountable care organizations that may use capitation and other alternative payment methodologies, strengthened enforcement of fraud and abuse laws and encouraged the use of information technology. However, many of these changes require implementing regulations which have not yet been drafted or have been released only as proposed rules. In addition, there have been and continue to be a number of legislative and regulatory initiatives to contain healthcare costs, reduce federal and state government spending on healthcare products and services and limit or restrict the scope of the Medicare RAC program and other program integrity initiatives.
Future changes to the Affordable Care Act and to the Medicare and Medicaid programs and other federal or state healthcare reform measures may lower reimbursement rates, establish new payment models, increase or decrease government involvement in healthcare, decrease the Medicare RAC program and otherwise change the operating environment for us and our Assignors. If efforts to waive, modify or otherwise change the Affordable Care Act, in whole or in part, are successful, if we are unable to adapt our solutions to meet changing requirements or expand service delivery into new areas, or the demand for our solutions is reduced as a result of healthcare organizations’ reactions to changed circumstances and financial pressures, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Healthcare organizations may react to such changed circumstances and financial pressures, including those surrounding the implementation of the Affordable Care Act, by taking actions such as curtailing or deferring their retention of service providers, which could reduce the demand for our data driven solutions and, in turn, have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
A significant portion of our claims comes from a limited number of Assignors, and the loss of one or more of these Assignors could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We have acquired a significant portion of our claims from and entered into agreements for new services with a limited number of large Assignors. These Assignors assign these claims with an irrevocable assignment from the Assignor to us (“assignment agreement”) each with different and/or staggered terms. In addition, we also rely on our
38

TABLE OF CONTENTS

reputation and recommendations from key Assignors to promote our solutions to potential new Assignors. Further, our ability to pursue a significant portion of our claims depends on our arrangements pursuant to which we are granted access to health care data, which may be terminated upon the occurrence of certain events. See “—We use various data sources in our business and if we lose access to those data sources it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.” Accordingly, if any of these Assignors fail to renew or terminate their existing agreements with us, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our revenues and operations are dependent upon a limited number of key existing payers and our Assignors’ continued relationship with those payers, and disruptions in those relationships (including renegotiation, non-renewal or termination of capitation agreements) or the inability of such payers to maintain their contracts with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, or CMS, could adversely affect our business.
Our operations are dependent on a concentrated number of payers with whom our Assignors contract to provide services. The loss of these contracts for our Assignors could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. The sudden loss of any of our Assignors’ payer partners or the renegotiation of any of our Assignors’ payer contracts could adversely affect our operating results.
Moreover, our inability to maintain agreements with our Assignors with respect to their health care claims recovery rights and data or to negotiate favorable terms for those agreements in the future could result in the loss of revenue and could have a material adverse effect on our profitability and business.
The data healthcare analytics and healthcare payment market is relatively new and unpenetrated, and if it does not develop or if it develops more slowly than we expect, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
The data healthcare analytics and healthcare payment accuracy market is relatively new and the overall market opportunity remains relatively unpenetrated. It is uncertain whether this market will achieve and sustain high levels of demand, client acceptance and market adoption. Our success will depend to a substantial extent on the willingness of our Assignors to use, and to increase the frequency and extent of their utilization of our solutions as well as on our ability to demonstrate the value of data-driven solutions and payment accuracy solutions to healthcare payers and government agencies. If our Assignors or other potential customers do not perceive the benefits of our data-driven solutions, then our market may not continue to develop, or it may develop more slowly than we expect. If any of these events occurs, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Negative publicity concerning the data healthcare analytics and healthcare payment accuracy industry or patient confidentiality and privacy could limit the future growth of the healthcare payment accuracy market.
Our data driven solutions help prevent and recover improper payments made to healthcare providers. As a result, healthcare providers, insurers, third-party payers and others have criticized the healthcare payment accuracy industry and have hired lobbyists to discredit the reported success that payment accuracy solutions have had in improving the accuracy of payments. Further, negative publicity regarding patient confidentiality and privacy could limit market acceptance of our healthcare solutions. Many consumer advocates, privacy advocates and government regulators believe that the existing laws and regulations do not adequately protect privacy. They have become increasingly concerned with the use of personal information. As a result, they are lobbying for further restrictions on the dissemination or commercial use of personal information to the public and private sectors. If healthcare providers, privacy advocates and others are successful in creating negative publicity for the healthcare payment accuracy industry, government and private healthcare payers could hesitate to contract with payment accuracy providers, such as us, which could have a material adverse effect on our reputation, business, financial condition and results of operations.
We face significant competition and we expect competition to increase.
Competition among providers of healthcare payment accuracy solutions to U.S. healthcare insurance companies is strong and we may encounter additional competition as new competitors enter this area.
Our current healthcare solutions competitors include:
other payment accuracy vendors, including vendors focused on discrete aspects of the healthcare payment accuracy process;
39

TABLE OF CONTENTS

fraud, waste and abuse claim edit and predictive analysis companies;
primary claims processors;
numerous regional utilization management companies;
in-house payment accuracy capabilities;
Medicare RACs; and
healthcare consulting firms and other third-party liability service providers.
We may not be able to compete successfully against existing or new competitors. In addition, we may be forced to increase the consideration we provide for assigned claims or lower our pricing, or the demand for our data-driven solutions may decrease as a result of increased competition. Further, a failure to be responsive to our existing and potential Assignors’ needs could hinder our ability to maintain or expand our Assignor base, hire and retain new employees, pursue new business opportunities, complete future acquisitions and operate our business effectively. Any inability to compete effectively could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
If we are unable to protect our proprietary technology, information, processes and know-how, the value of our solutions may be diminished, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We rely significantly on proprietary technology, information, processes and know-how that are not subject to patent or copyright protection. We seek to protect this information through trade secret or confidentiality agreements with our employees, consultants, subcontractors or other parties, as well as through other security measures. These agreements and security measures may be inadequate to deter misappropriation of intellectual property and may be insufficient to protect our proprietary information. Misappropriation of our intellectual property by third parties, or any disclosure or dissemination of our business intelligence, queries, algorithms and other similar information by any means, could undermine competitive advantages we currently derive or may derive therefrom. Any of these situations could result in our expending significant time and incurring expense to enforce our intellectual property rights. Although we have taken measures to protect our proprietary rights, others may compete with our business by offering solutions or services that are substantially similar to ours. If the protection of our proprietary rights is inadequate to prevent unauthorized use or appropriation by third parties or our employees, the value of our solutions, brand and other intangible assets may be diminished and competitors may be able to more effectively offer solutions that have the same or similar functionality as our solutions, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our success depends on our ability to protect our intellectual property rights.
Our success depends in part on our ability to protect our proprietary software, confidential information and know-how, technology and other intellectual property and intellectual property rights. To do so, we rely generally on copyright, trademark and trade secret laws, confidentiality and invention assignment agreements with employees and third parties, and license and other agreements with consultants, vendors and Assignors. There can be no assurance that employees, consultants, vendors and Assignors have executed such agreements or have not breached or will not breach their agreements with us, that we will have adequate remedies for any breach, or that our trade secrets will not otherwise become known or independently developed by competitors. Additionally, we monitor our use of open source software to avoid uses that would require us to disclose our proprietary source code or violate applicable open source licenses, but if we engaged in such uses inadvertently, we could be required to take remedial action or release certain of our proprietary source code. These scenarios could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, despite the protections we place on our intellectual property, a third party could, without authorization, copy or otherwise obtain and use our products or technology, or develop similar technology. In addition, agreement terms that address non-competition are difficult to enforce in many jurisdictions and might not be enforceable in certain cases.
As we begin to pursue patents, we might not be able to obtain meaningful patent protection for our technology. In addition, if any patents are issued in the future, they might not provide us with any competitive advantages or might be successfully challenged by third parties.
We rely on unpatented proprietary technology. It is possible that others will independently develop the same or similar technology or otherwise obtain access to our unpatented technology. To protect our trade secrets and other
40

TABLE OF CONTENTS

proprietary information, we require employees, consultants, advisors and collaborators to enter into confidentiality agreements. We cannot assure you that these agreements will provide meaningful protection for our trade secrets, know-how, or other proprietary information in the event of any unauthorized use, misappropriation, or disclosure of such trade secrets, know-how, or other proprietary information. Further, the theft or unauthorized use or publication of our trade secrets and other confidential business information could reduce the differentiation of our services and harm our business, the value of our investment in development or business acquisitions could be reduced and third parties might make claims against us related to losses of their confidential or proprietary information.
We rely on our trademarks, service marks, trade names and brand names to distinguish our services from the services of our competitors and have registered or applied to register many of these trademarks. We cannot assure you that our trademark applications will be approved. Third parties may also oppose our trademark applications, or otherwise challenge our use of the trademarks. In the event that our trademarks are successfully challenged, we could be forced to rebrand our services, which could result in loss of brand recognition and could require us to devote resources advertising and marketing new brands. Further, we cannot assure you that competitors will not infringe our trademarks or that we will have adequate resources to enforce our trademarks. Additionally, if we expand our focus to the international payment accuracy market, there is no guarantee that our trademarks, service marks, trade names and brand names will be adequately protected.
Our ability to obtain, protect and enforce our intellectual property rights is subject to uncertainty as to the scope of protection, registrability, patentability, validity and enforceability of our intellectual property rights in each applicable jurisdiction, as well as the risk of general litigation or third-party oppositions.
Existing U.S. federal and state intellectual property laws offer only limited protection. Moreover, if we expand our business into markets outside of the United States, our intellectual property rights may not receive the same degree of protection as they would in the United States because of the differences in foreign trademark and other laws concerning proprietary rights. Governments may adopt regulations, and government agencies or courts may render decisions, requiring compulsory licensing of intellectual property rights. When we seek to enforce our intellectual property rights, we may be subject to claims that the intellectual property rights are invalid or unenforceable. Litigation may be necessary in the future to enforce our intellectual property rights and to protect our trade secrets. Litigation brought to protect and enforce our intellectual property rights could be costly, time consuming and distracting to management and could result in the impairment or loss of portions of our intellectual property rights. Furthermore, our efforts to enforce our intellectual property rights may be met with defenses, counterclaims and countersuits attacking the validity and enforceability of our intellectual property rights. Our inability to protect our proprietary technology against unauthorized copying or use, as well as any costly litigation or diversion of our management’s attention and resources, could delay further sales or the implementation of our solutions, impair the functionality of our solutions, delay introductions of new solutions, result in our substituting inferior or more costly technologies into our solutions, or have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our qui tam litigation may be subject to Government Intervention and Dismissal pursuant to 31 U.S.C. § 3730(c)(2)(A).
We file qui tam (“whistle blower”) actions on behalf of the United Stated federal government (“Federal Government”) under the False Claims Act, 31 U.S.C. § 3729 et seq. These actions give the Federal Government the opportunity to intervene and participate in the action. The False Claims Act authorizes the Attorney General to dismiss a qui tam action over the relator’s objection. The action can be dismissed if the Federal Government determines their best interests are not served with the litigation. This can be the case if the litigation does not advance their interests, preserve their limited resources, or avoid adverse precedent.
The Federal Government may dismiss an action notwithstanding the objections of the relator if the relator has received notice from the Federal Government and the person is afforded an opportunity to be heard on the Federal Government’s motion to dismiss. Courts have stated that the Federal Government has an “unfettered” right to dismiss a qui tam action. Swift v. United States, 318 F.3d 250, 252 (D.C. Cir. 2003). Federal Government intervention as well as dismissal pursuant to 31 U.S.C. § 3730(c)(2)(A) can negatively affect our business and our recovery efforts.
We are subject to extensive government regulation. Any violation of the laws and regulations applicable to us or a negative audit or investigation finding could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Much of our business is regulated by the Federal Government and the states in which we operate. The laws and regulations governing our operations generally are intended to benefit and protect individual citizens, including
41

TABLE OF CONTENTS

government program beneficiaries, health plan members and providers, rather than stockholders. The government agencies administering these laws and regulations have broad latitude to enforce them. These laws and regulations regulate how we do business, what services we offer and how we interact with our Assignors, providers, other healthcare payers and the public. Increased involvement by us in analytic or audit work that can have an impact on the eligibility of individuals for medical coverage or specific benefits could increase the likelihood and incidence of us being subjected to scrutiny or legal actions by parties other than our Assignors, based on alleged mistakes or deficiencies in our work, with significant resulting costs and strain on our resources.
In addition, because we may receive payments from federal and state governmental agencies, we may become subject to various laws, including the Federal False Claims Act and similar state statutes, which permit government law enforcement agencies to institute suits against us for violations and, in some cases, to seek double or treble damages, penalties and assessments. In addition, private citizens, acting as whistleblowers, can sue on behalf of the Federal Government under the “qui tam” provisions of the Federal False Claims Act and similar statutory provisions in many states.
The expansion of our operations into new products and services may further expose us to requirements and potential liabilities under additional statutes and legislative schemes that previously have not been relevant to our business, such as banking statutes, that may both increase demands on our resources for compliance activities and subject us to potential penalties for noncompliance with statutory and regulatory standards.
If the government discovers improper or illegal activities in the course of audits or investigations, we may be subject to various civil and criminal penalties and administrative sanctions, which may include termination of contracts, forfeiture of profits, suspension of payments, fines and suspensions and debarment from doing business with the government. Such risks, particularly under the Federal False Claims Act and similar state fraud statutes, have increased in recent years due to legislative changes that have (among other amendments) expanded the definition of a false claim to include, potentially, any unreimbursed overpayment received from, or other monetary debt owed to, a government agency. If we are found to be in violation of any applicable law or regulation, or if we receive an adverse review, audit or investigation, any resulting negative publicity, penalties or sanctions could have an adverse effect on our reputation in the industry, impair our ability to compete for new contracts and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our business depends on effective information processing systems that are compliant with current HIPAA transaction and code set standards and the integrity of the data in, and operations of, our information systems, as well as those of other entities that provide us with data or receive data from us.
Our ability to conduct our operations and accurately report our financial results depends on the integrity of the data in our information systems and the integrity of the processes performed by those systems. These information systems and applications require continual maintenance, upgrading and enhancement to meet our operational needs, satisfy Assignor requests and handle and enable our expansion and growth. Despite our testing and quality control measures, we cannot be certain that errors or system deficiencies will not be found and that remediation can be done in a timeframe that is acceptable to our Assignors or that Assignor relationships will not be impaired by the occurrence of errors or the need for remediation. In addition, implementation of upgrades and enhancements may cost more, take longer or require more testing than originally expected. Given the large amount of data we collect and manage, it is possible that hardware failures, errors or technical deficiencies in our systems could result in data loss or corruption or cause the information that we collect, utilize or disseminate to be incomplete or contain inaccuracies that our Assignors regard as significant.
Moreover, we submit high volumes of monetary claims to third parties, the efficiency and effectiveness of our own operations are to some degree dependent on the claims processing systems of these third parties and their compliance with any new transaction and code set standards. Since October 1, 2015, health plans, commercial payers and healthcare providers have been required to transition to the new ICD-10 coding system, which greatly expands the number and detail of diagnosis codes used for inpatient, outpatient and physician claims. The transition to the new transaction and code set standard is expensive, time-consuming and may initially result in disruptions or delays as we and other stakeholders make necessary system adjustments to be fully compliant and capable of exchanging data.
In addition, we may experience delays in processing claims and therefore earning our fees if the third parties with whom we work are not in full compliance with these new standards in the required timeframe. Claims processing

TABLE OF CONTENTS

systems failures, incapacities or deficiencies internal to these third parties could significantly delay or obstruct our ability to recover money, and thereby interfere with our performance and our ability to generate revenue in the timeframe we anticipate, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
In the event we fail to maintain our Security Organization Control 2, HITRUST or other certifications, we could be in breach of our obligations under our contracts, fines and other penalties could result, and we may suffer reputational harm and damage to our business.
In addition to government regulation and the securities laws, we are subject to self-regulatory standards and industry certifications that may legally or contractually apply to us. These include Security Organization Control 2 (“SOC 2”), with which we are currently compliant. In the event we fail to maintain our SOC 2 compliance or fail to receive recertification from HITRUST, we could be in breach of our obligations under Assignor and other contracts, fines and other penalties could result, and we may suffer reputational harm and damage to our business. Further, our Assignors may expect us to comply with more stringent privacy and data security requirements than those imposed by laws, regulations or self-regulatory requirements, and we may be obligated contractually to comply with additional or different standards relating to our handling or protection of data.
Any failure or perceived failure by us to comply with federal or state laws or regulations, industry standards or other legal obligations, or any actual or suspected privacy or security incident, whether or not resulting in unauthorized access to, or acquisition, release or transfer of PII or other data, may result in governmental enforcement actions and prosecutions, private litigation, fines and penalties or adverse publicity and could cause our Assignors to lose trust in us, which could have an adverse effect on our reputation and business. We may be unable to make such changes and modifications in a commercially reasonable manner or at all, and our ability to pursue recoveries could be limited. Any of these developments could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations. Privacy and data security concerns, whether valid or not valid, may inhibit retention of our systems by existing Assignors or onboarding onto or, in the case of our Chase to Pay services, adoption of our systems by new Assignors. For more information on Chase to Pay services, please see the section entitled “Information About MSP—MSP Business Overview.”
Costs associated with, and our ability to obtain and maintain adequate insurance, could adversely affect our profitability and financial condition.
We hold a number of insurance policies, including directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, business interruption insurance, property insurance and workers’ compensation insurance. The cost of maintaining directors’ and officers’ liability insurance has increased substantially over the past few years and could continue to increase, due to general market trends, as part of an evaluation of our specific loss history and other factors. If the costs of maintaining adequate insurance coverage should increase significantly in the future, our operating results could be materially adversely affected. Likewise, if any of our current insurance coverage should become unavailable to us or become economically impractical, we would be required to operate our business without indemnity from commercial insurance providers. Similarly, if we exhaust our current insurance coverage for any given policy period, we would be required to operate our business without indemnity from commercial insurance providers for any claims made that are attributable to that policy period.
Our services could become subject to new, revised, or enhanced regulatory requirements in the future, which could result in increased costs, could delay or prevent our introduction of new solutions, or could impair the function or value of our existing solutions, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
The healthcare industry is highly regulated on the federal, state and local levels, and is subject to changing legislative, regulatory, political and other influences. As has been the trend in recent years, it is reasonable to assume that there will continue to be increased government oversight and regulation of the healthcare industry in the future. Changes to existing laws and regulations, or the enactment of new federal and state laws and regulations affecting the healthcare industry, could create unexpected liabilities for us, could cause us or our Assignors to incur additional costs and could restrict our or our Assignors’ operations. Many healthcare laws are complex, subject to frequent change and dependent on interpretation and enforcement decisions from government agencies with broad discretion. We cannot assure our stockholders as to the ultimate content, timing or effect of any new healthcare legislation or regulations, nor is it possible at this time to estimate the impact of potential new legislation or regulations on our
43

TABLE OF CONTENTS

business. In addition, federal and state legislatures periodically have considered programs to reform or amend the U.S. healthcare system at both the federal and state level, such as the enactment of the Affordable Care Act. It is possible that the changes to the Medicare, Medicaid or other governmental healthcare program reimbursements may serve as precedent to possible changes in other payers’ reimbursement policies in a manner adverse to us. Similarly, changes in private payer reimbursements could lead to adverse changes in Medicare, Medicaid and other governmental healthcare programs, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Our failure to anticipate accurately the application of these laws and similar or future laws and regulations, or our failure to comply with them, could create liability for us, result in adverse publicity and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
While we believe that we have structured our agreements and operations in material compliance with applicable healthcare laws and regulations, there can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully address changes in the current regulatory environment. We believe that our business operations materially comply with applicable healthcare laws and regulations. However, some of the healthcare laws and regulations applicable to us are subject to limited or evolving interpretations, and a review of our business or operations by a court, law enforcement or a regulatory authority might result in a determination that could have a material adverse effect on us. Furthermore, the healthcare laws and regulations applicable to us may be amended or interpreted in a manner that could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition.
Our services may become subject to new or enhanced regulatory requirements and we may be required to change or adapt our services in order to comply with these regulations. If we fail to successfully implement new regulatory framework, it could adversely affect our ability to offer services deemed critical by our Assignors, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. New or enhanced regulatory requirements may render our solutions obsolete or prevent us from performing certain services. Further, new or enhanced regulatory requirements could impose additional costs on us, thereby making existing solutions unprofitable, and could make the introduction of new solutions more costly or time consuming than we anticipate, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
If we fail to accurately estimate the factors upon which we base our contract pricing, we may generate less profit than expected or incur losses on those contracts, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our Assignor contracts are generally recovery-based. We receive a fee for such contracts based on the monies identified and ultimately recovered. Our ability to earn a profit on a performance-based agreement requires that we accurately estimate the costs involved and outcomes likely to be achieved and assess the probability of completing multiple tasks and transactions within the contracted time period.
We derive a relatively small portion of our revenue on a “fee-for-service” basis whereby billing is based upon a flat fee or a fee per hour. To earn a profit on these contracts, we must accurately estimate costs involved and assess the probability of achieving certain milestones within the contracted time period. If we do not accurately estimate the costs and timing for completing projects, or if we encounter increased or unexpected costs, delays, failures, liabilities or risks, including those outside of our control, our contracts could prove unprofitable for us or yield lower profit margins than anticipated. Although we believe that we have recorded adequate provisions in our financial statements for losses on our fee-for-service contracts where applicable, as required under GAAP, we cannot provide assurance that our contract provisions will be adequate to cover all actual future losses. The inability to accurately estimate the factors upon which we base our contract pricing could have a material adverse effect on business, financial condition and results of operations.
If we fail to cost-effectively develop widespread brand awareness and maintain our reputation, or if we fail to achieve and maintain market acceptance, our business could suffer.
We believe that maintaining and enhancing our reputation and brand recognition is critical to our relationships with our Assignors and ability to attract new Assignors. The promotion of our brand may require us to make substantial investments and we anticipate that, as our market becomes increasingly competitive, these marketing initiatives may become increasingly difficult and expensive. Our marketing activities may not be successful or yield increased revenue, and to the extent that these activities yield increased revenue, the increased revenue may not offset the expenses we incur, and our results of operations could be harmed. In addition, any factor that diminishes our reputation or that of our management, including failing to meet expectations, or any adverse publicity or litigation
44

TABLE OF CONTENTS

involving or surrounding us, could make it substantially more difficult for us to attract new Assignors. In addition, negative publicity resulting from any adverse government audit could injure our reputation. If we do not successfully maintain and enhance our reputation and brand recognition, our business may not grow and we could lose our relationships with Assignors, which would harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.
The registered or unregistered trademarks or trade names that we own or license may be challenged, infringed, circumvented, declared generic, lapsed or determined to be infringing on or dilutive of other marks. We may not be able to protect our rights in these trademarks and trade names, which we need in order to build name recognition with Assignors, payers and other partners. In addition, third parties may in the future file for registration of trademarks similar or identical to our trademarks. If they succeed in registering or developing common law rights in such trademarks, and if we are not successful in challenging such third-party rights, we may not be able to use these trademarks to promote our business in certain relevant jurisdictions. If we are unable to establish name recognition based on our trademarks and trade names, we may not be able to compete effectively and our brand recognition, reputation and results of operations may be adversely affected.
Our ability to execute on business plans, maintain high levels of service or adequately address competitive challenges will be negatively impacted if we fail to properly manage our growth, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
In recent years, our size and the scope of our business operations have expanded rapidly, and we expect that we will continue to grow and expand into new areas within the healthcare industry; however, such growth and expansion has resulted in nominal revenue to date and carries costs and risks that, if not properly managed, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. To effectively manage our business plans, we must continue to improve our operations, while remaining competitive. We must also be flexible and responsive to our Assignors’ needs and to changes in the political, economic and regulatory environment in which we operate. The greater size and complexity of our expanding business puts additional strain on our administrative, operational and financial resources and makes the determination of optimal resource allocation more difficult. A failure to anticipate or properly address the demands that our growth and diversification may have on our resources and existing infrastructure may result in unanticipated costs and inefficiencies and could adversely impact our ability to execute on our business plans and growth goals, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We may require significant capital expenditures and the allocation of valuable management resources to grow and change in these areas. We must effectively increase our headcount and continue to effectively train and manage our employees. We will need to continue to hire, train and manage additional qualified information technology, operations and marketing staff, and improve and maintain our technology and information systems to properly manage our growth. If our new hires perform poorly, or if we are unsuccessful in hiring, training, managing and integrating these new employees, or if we are not successful in retaining our existing employees, our business may be adversely affected. We will be unable to manage our business effectively if we are unable to alleviate the strain on resources caused by growth in a timely and successful manner. If we fail to effectively manage our anticipated growth and change, the quality of our services may suffer, which could negatively affect our brand and reputation and harm our ability to attract and retain Assignors and employees.
We have encountered and will continue to encounter risks and difficulties frequently experienced by growing companies in rapidly changing industries, including increasing expenses as we continue to grow our business. We expect our operating expenses to increase significantly over the next several years as we continue to hire additional personnel, expand our operations and infrastructure, and continue to expand to reach more Assignors. In addition to the expected costs to grow our business, we also expect to incur additional legal, accounting, investor relations and other expenses as a newly public company. These investments may be more costly than we expect, and if we do not achieve the benefits anticipated from these investments, or if the realization of these benefits is delayed, they may not result in increased revenue or growth in our business. If our growth rate were to decline significantly or become negative, it could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. If we are not able to achieve or maintain positive cash flow in the long term, we may require additional financing, which may not be available on favorable terms or at all and/or which could be dilutive to our stockholders. Our failure to achieve or maintain profitability could negatively impact the value of our common stock.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

We may not be able to obtain additional capital to continue the development of our business.
There can be no assurance that our future proposed operations and claims recovery will be implemented successfully or that we will ever have profits. If we are unable to successfully recover on claims and continue pursuing recoveries, holders of our common stock may lose their entire investment. We face all of the risks inherent in a new business and a new public company, including the expenses, difficulties, complications and delays frequently encountered in connection with conducting operations, including the need for significant additional capital requirements and management’s potential underestimation of initial and ongoing costs. In evaluating our business and future prospects, these difficulties should be considered. If we are not effective in addressing these risks, we would not be able to implement our business strategy and our results of operations would be adversely affected. To date, MSP’s sources of liquidity to fund working capital have been through funds from servicing agreements, member contributions and investments from other third parties. As of December 31, 2021, MSP had access to approximately $30.7 million reserved for services fees to be paid by VRM MSP, commensurate with the operational expenses and costs of MSP Recovery. It is contemplated that the Service Fee Account will terminate in connection with the Closing. See “MSP Recovery’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Our Business Model—Claims Recovery Services” and Note 1 to the unaudited financial statements of MSP Recovery included in this proxy statement/prospectus.
If we do not successfully integrate future acquisitions or strategic partnerships that we may enter into, we may not realize the anticipated benefits of any such acquisitions or partnerships, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We expect to pursue future acquisitions in order to expand and diversify our business. We may also form strategic partnerships with third parties that we believe will complement or augment our existing business. We cannot, however, provide assurance that we will be able to identify any potential acquisition or strategic partnership candidates, consummate any additional acquisitions or enter into any strategic partnerships or that any future acquisitions or strategic partnerships will be successfully integrated or will be advantageous to us. Entities we acquire may not achieve the revenue and earnings we anticipate or their liabilities may exceed our expectations. We could face integration issues pertaining to the internal controls and operational functions of the acquired companies and we also could fail to realize cost efficiencies or synergies that we anticipated when selecting our acquisition candidates. Assignor dissatisfaction or performance problems with a particular acquired entity or resulting from a strategic partnership could have a material adverse effect on our reputation as a whole. We may be unable to profitably manage any acquired entities, or we may fail to integrate them successfully without incurring substantial expenses, delays or other problems. We may not achieve the anticipated benefits from any strategic partnerships we form. In addition, business acquisitions and strategic partnerships involve a number of risks that could affect our business, financial condition and results of operations, including but not limited to:
our ability to integrate operational, accounting and technology policies, processes and systems and the implementation of those policies and procedures;
our ability to integrate personnel and human resources systems as well as the cultures of each of the acquired businesses;
our ability to implement our business plan for the acquired business;
transition of operations, users and Assignors to our existing platforms or the integration of data, systems and technology platforms with ours;
compliance with regulatory requirements and avoiding potential conflicts of interest in markets that we serve;
diversion of management’s attention and other resources;
our ability to retain or replace key personnel;
our ability to maintain relationships with the clients of the acquired business or a strategic partner and further develop the acquired business or the business of our strategic partner;
our ability to cross-sell our solutions of the acquired businesses or strategic partners to our respective Assignors;
entry into unfamiliar markets;

assumption of unanticipated legal or financial liabilities and/or negative publicity related to prior acts by the acquired entity;
litigation or other claims in connection with the acquired company, including claims from terminated employees, Assignors, former stockholders or third parties;
misuse of intellectual property by our strategic partners;
disagreements with strategic partners or a misalignment of incentives within any strategic partnership;
becoming significantly leveraged as a result of incurring debt to finance an acquisition;
unanticipated operating, accounting or management difficulties in connection with the acquired entities; and
impairment of acquired intangible assets, including goodwill, and dilution to our earnings per share.
If we fail to successfully integrate the businesses that we acquire or strategic partnerships that we enter into, we may not realize any of the benefits we anticipate in connection with the acquisitions or partnerships, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We may incur substantial additional indebtedness, including in connection with future claims acquisitions.
We may incur substantial additional indebtedness in order to finance acquisitions, which are an important part of our long-term growth strategy, or otherwise in connection with financing our operations, and such increased leverage could adversely affect our business. In particular, the increased leverage could increase our vulnerability to sustained, adverse macroeconomic weakness, limit our ability to obtain further financing and limit our ability to pursue other operational and strategic opportunities. The increased leverage, potential lack of access to financing and increased expenses could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
If we fail to maintain or upgrade our operational platforms, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We expect to make substantial investments in and changes to our operational platforms, systems and applications to compete effectively and keep up with technological advances. We may also face difficulties in integrating any upgraded platforms into our current technology infrastructure. In addition, significant technological changes could render our existing solutions obsolete. Although we have invested, and will continue to invest, significant resources in developing and enhancing our solutions and platforms, any failure to keep up with technological advances or to integrate upgraded operational platforms and solutions into our existing technology infrastructure could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We are currently party to and may in the future become party to additional litigation, regulatory, or other dispute resolution proceedings. Adverse judgments or settlements in any of these proceedings could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We are currently party to may in the future become party to lawsuits and other claims against us that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of our business. These may include lawsuits and claims related to, for example, contracts, subcontracts, protection of confidential information or trade secrets, wage and benefits, employment of our workforce or compliance with any of a wide array of state and federal statutes, rules and regulations that pertain to different aspects of our business. We also may be required to initiate expensive litigation or other proceedings to protect our business interests. In addition, because of the payments we may receive from potential future government Assignors, we may become subject to unexpected inquiries, investigations, legal actions or enforcement proceedings pursuant to the False Claims Act, healthcare fraud, waste and abuse laws or similar legislation. Any investigations, settlements or adverse judgments stemming from such legal disputes or other claims may result in significant monetary damages or injunctive relief against us, as well as reputational injury that could adversely affect us. In addition, litigation and other legal claims are subject to inherent uncertainties and management’s view of currently pending legal matters may change in the future. Those uncertainties include, but are not limited to, costs of litigation, unpredictable judicial or jury decisions and the differing laws and judicial proclivities regarding damage awards among the states in which we operate. Unexpected outcomes in such legal proceedings, or changes in management’s evaluation or predictions of the likely outcomes of such proceedings (possibly resulting in changes in established reserves), could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

If we are unable to successfully identify and recover on future claims, our results of operations could be adversely affected.
As a part of our business plan, we have acquired the right to pursue recoveries and we intend to continue to pursue acquiring additional claims to support our business strategy. These recoveries can involve a number of risks and challenges, any of which could cause significant operating inefficiencies and adversely affect our growth and profitability. Such risks and challenges include:
underperformance relative to our expectations and the price paid for the claims;
unanticipated demands on our management and operational resources;
failure to successfully recover on legal claims;
difficulty in integrating personnel, operations, and systems;
maintaining current customers and securing future customers of the combined businesses;
assumption of liabilities; and
litigation-related charges.
The profits of claims may take considerable time to recover, and certain recoveries may fall short of expected returns. If our recoveries are not successful, we may record impairment charges. Our ability to grow our capital will depend upon our success at identifying and recovering legal claims, which requires substantial judgment in assessing their values, strengths, weaknesses, liabilities, and potential profitability, as well as the availability of capital.
If we fail to accurately calculate the Paid Amount and Paid Value of Potential Recoverable Claims, it can have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows.
Typically, we identify recoverable claims using our proprietary algorithms which comb through historical paid claims data and search for possible recoveries based on the various Funnels and Layers we have identified. Our potential ability to achieve recovery revenues are based largely on the Paid Value of Potentially Recoverable Claims of our portfolio and our ability to discover, quantify and settle the gap between Billed Amount and Paid Amount on a large scale. If we fail to accurately calculate the Paid Amount or the Paid Value of Potential Recoverable Claims, the Recovery Multiple or the recovery rights we are entitled to may not be appropriately captured, which may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
We use software vendors, utility providers and network providers in our business and if they cannot deliver or perform as expected or if our relationships with them are terminated or otherwise change it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our ability to service our Assignors and deliver and implement solutions requires that we work with certain third-party providers, including software vendors, utility providers and network providers, and depends on such third parties meeting our expectations in both timeliness and quality. We might incur significant additional liabilities if the services provided by these third parties do not meet our expectations, if they terminate or refuse to renew their relationships with us or if they were to offer their services to us on less advantageous terms, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, while there are backup systems in many of our operating facilities, an extended outage of utility or network services supplied by these vendors or providers could impair our ability to deliver our solutions, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We use various data sources in our business and if we lose access to those data sources it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Our ability to service our Assignors and deliver and implement solutions requires that we use several data sources when identifying recoveries. If we were to lose access to those data sources, including as a result of any termination of our data access arrangements, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Third parties may claim that we are infringing their intellectual property, and we could suffer significant litigation or licensing expenses or be prevented from selling certain solutions, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We could be subject to claims that we are misappropriating or infringing intellectual property or other proprietary rights of others. These claims, even if not meritorious, could be expensive to defend and divert management’s attention from our operations. If we become liable to third parties for infringing these rights, we could be required to pay a substantial damage award and develop non-infringing technology, cease using the solutions or providing the services that use or contain the infringing intellectual property or obtain a license. We may be unable to develop non-infringing solutions or obtain a license on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. We may also be required to indemnify our Assignors if they become subject to third-party claims relating to intellectual property that we license or otherwise provide to them, which could be costly. If we are subject to claims of misappropriating or infringing the intellectual property or other proprietary rights of others, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Changes in, or interpretations of, tax rules and regulations may adversely affect our effective tax rates.
We have operations throughout the United States as well as in Puerto Rico. Accordingly, we are subject to taxation in many jurisdictions with increasingly complex tax laws, the application of which can be uncertain.
Unanticipated changes in our tax rates could affect our future financial condition and results of operations. Our future effective tax rates could be unfavorably affected by changes in the tax rates in jurisdictions where our income is earned and taxed, by changes in, or our interpretation of, tax rules and regulations in the jurisdictions in which we do business, by increases in expenses not deductible for tax purposes including impairments of goodwill, by changes in U.S. GAAP or other applicable accounting standards or by changes in the valuation of our deferred tax assets and liabilities.
In addition, we are subject to the continual examination of our income tax returns by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) and other domestic and international tax authorities. Tax authorities in various jurisdictions may disagree with and subsequently challenge the amount of profits taxed in their state or country, which may result in increased tax liability, including accrued interest and penalties, which would cause our tax expense to increase. There can be no assurance that the final determination of any of these examinations will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
We will be required to pay the TRA Parties (as defined in the TRA) for most of the benefits relating to an increase in tax attributes as a result of the Post-Combination Company’s direct and indirect allocable share of existing tax basis acquired in the Business Combination, and the Post-Combination Company’s increase in its allocable share of existing tax basis and anticipated tax basis adjustments we receive in connection with sales or exchanges of Up-C Units after the Business Combination.
In connection with the Business Combination, we will enter into a Tax Receivable Agreement with the TRA Parties (as defined in the TRA) that provides for the payment by the Post-Combination Company to such TRA Parties of 85% of the benefits, if any, that the Post-Combination Company is deemed to realize (calculated using certain assumptions) as a result of (i) the Company’s direct and indirect allocable share of existing tax basis acquired in the Business Combination, (ii) increases in the Post-Combination Company’s allocable share of existing tax basis and tax basis adjustments that will increase the tax basis of the tangible and intangible assets of Opco as a result of the Business Combination and as a result of sales or exchanges of Up-C Units for cash or shares of the Post-Combination Company’s Class A common stock, and (iii) certain other tax benefits related to entering into the Tax Receivable Agreement, including tax benefits attributable to payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement. These increases in existing tax basis and tax basis adjustments generated over time may reduce the amount of tax that the Post-Combination Company would otherwise be required to pay in the future, although the IRS may challenge all or part of the validity of that tax basis, and a court could sustain such a challenge. Actual tax benefits realized by the Post-Combination Company may differ from tax benefits calculated under the Tax Receivable Agreement as a result of the use of certain assumptions in the Tax Receivable Agreement, including the use of an assumed weighted-average state and local income tax rate to calculate tax benefits. The payment obligation under the Tax Receivable Agreement is an obligation of the Post-Combination Company and not of Opco. While the amount of existing tax basis, the anticipated tax basis adjustments and the actual amount and utilization of tax attributes, as well as the amount and timing of any payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement, will vary depending upon a number of factors, including the timing of exchanges of Up-C Units for shares of the Post-Combination Company common
49

TABLE OF CONTENTS

stock, the applicable tax rate, the price of shares of the Post-Combination Company’s Class A common stock at the time of exchanges, the extent to which such exchanges are taxable and the amount and timing of our income, we expect that as a result of the size of the transfers and increases in the tax basis of the tangible and intangible assets of Opco and our possible utilization of tax attributes, including existing tax basis acquired at the time of the Business Combination, the payments that the Post-Combination Company may make under the Tax Receivable Agreement will be substantial. The payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement are not conditioned on the exchanging holders of Opco Units or other TRA Parties continuing to hold ownership interests in us. To the extent payments are due to the TRA Parties under the Tax Receivable Agreement, the payments are generally required to be made within five business days after the tax benefit schedule (which sets forth the Post-Combination Company’s realized tax benefits covered by the Tax Receivable Agreement for the relevant taxable year) is finalized. The Post-Combination Company is required to deliver such a tax benefit schedule to the TRA Parties’ Representative (as defined in the TRA), for its review, within ninety calendar days after the due date (including extensions) of the Post-Combination Company’s federal corporate income tax return for the relevant taxable year.
In certain cases, payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement may be accelerated and/or significantly exceed the actual benefits the Post-Combination Company realizes in respect of the tax attributes subject to the Tax Receivable Agreement.
The Post-Combination Company’s payment obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement will be accelerated in the event of certain changes of control or its election to terminate the Tax Receivable Agreement early. The accelerated payments will relate to all relevant tax attributes then allocable to the Post-Combination Company in the case of an acceleration upon a change of control and to all relevant tax attributes allocable or that would be allocable to the Post-Combination Company (in the case of an election by the Post-Combination Company to terminate the Tax Receivable Agreement early, assuming all Up-C Units were then exchanged). The accelerated payments required in such circumstances will be calculated by reference to the present value (at a specified discount rate determined by reference to LIBOR) of all future payments that holders of Up-C Units or other recipients would have been entitled to receive under the Tax Receivable Agreement, and such accelerated payments and any other future payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement will utilize certain valuation assumptions, including that the Post-Combination Company will have sufficient taxable income to fully utilize the deductions arising from the increased tax deductions and tax basis and other benefits related to entering into the Tax Receivable Agreement. In addition, recipients of payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement will not reimburse us for any payments previously made under the Tax Receivable Agreement if such tax basis and the Post-Combination Company’s utilization of certain tax attributes is successfully challenged by the IRS (although any such detriment would be taken into account in future payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement). The Post-Combination Company’s ability to achieve benefits from any existing tax basis, tax basis adjustments or other tax attributes, and the payments to be made under the Tax Receivable Agreement, will depend upon a number of factors, including the timing and amount of our future income. As a result, even in the absence of a change of control or an election to terminate the Tax Receivable Agreement, payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement could be in excess of 85% of the Post-Combination Company’s actual cash tax benefits.
Accordingly, it is possible that the actual cash tax benefits realized by the Post-Combination Company may be significantly less than the corresponding Tax Receivable Agreement payments or that payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement may be made years in advance of the actual realization, if any, of the anticipated future tax benefits. There may be a material negative effect on our liquidity if the payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement exceed the actual cash tax benefits that the Post-Combination Company realizes in respect of the tax attributes subject to the Tax Receivable Agreement and/or distributions to the Post-Combination Company by Opco are not sufficient to permit the Post-Combination Company to make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement after it has paid taxes and other expenses. We may need to incur additional indebtedness to finance payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement to the extent our cash resources are insufficient to meet our obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement as a result of timing discrepancies or otherwise, and these obligations could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing certain mergers, asset sales, other forms of business combinations or other changes of control.

The acceleration of payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement in the case of certain changes of control may impair our ability to consummate change of control transactions or negatively impact the value of our Post-Combination Company common stock.
In the case of a “Change of Control” under the Tax Receivable Agreement (which is defined to include, among other things, a 50% change in control of the Post-Combination Company, the approval of a complete plan of liquidation or dissolution of the Post-Combination Company, or the disposition of all or substantially all of the Post-Combination Company’s direct or indirect assets), payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement will be accelerated and may significantly exceed the actual benefits the Post-Combination Company realizes in respect of the tax attributes subject to the Tax Receivable Agreement. We expect that the payments that we may make under the Tax Receivable Agreement (the calculation of which is described in the immediately preceding risk factor) in the event of a change of control will be substantial. As a result, our accelerated payment obligations and/or the assumptions adopted under the Tax Receivable Agreement in the case of a change of control may impair our ability to consummate change of control transactions or negatively impact the value received by owners of our Post-Combination Company common stock in a change of control transaction.
Our success may depend on the continued service and availability of key personnel.
Our success and future growth is dependent upon the ability of our executive officers, senior managers and other key personnel to operate and manage our business and execute on our growth strategies successfully. We cannot provide assurance that we will be able to continue to retain our executive officers, senior managers or other key personnel or attract additional key personnel. We may incur increased expenses in connection with the hiring, promotion, retention or replacement of any of these individuals. The loss of the services of any of our key personnel could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our business is dependent on our ability to attract and retain qualified employees.
Our ability to operate our business and provide our solutions is dependent on our ability to recruit, employ, train and retain the skilled personnel who have relevant experience in the healthcare and data analytics industries as well as information technology professionals who can design, implement, operate and maintain complex information technology systems. For example, certain of our employees in our company must either have or rapidly develop a significant amount of technical knowledge with regard to medical insurance coding and procedures. In addition, certain of our retrospective data driven solutions rely on a team of trained registered nurses or medical coding professionals to review medical information and provide feedback with respect to the medical appropriateness of care provided. Innovative, experienced and technologically proficient professionals, qualified nurses and experienced medical coding professionals are in great demand and are likely to remain a limited resource. Our ability to recruit and retain such individuals depends on a number of factors, including the competitive demands for employees having, or able to rapidly develop, the specialized skills we need and the level and structure of compensation required to hire and retain such employees. We may not be able to recruit or retain the personnel necessary to efficiently operate and support our business. Even if our recruitment and retention strategies are successful, our labor costs may increase significantly. In addition, our internal training programs may not be successful in providing inexperienced personnel with the specialized skills required to perform their duties. If we are unable to hire, train and retain sufficient personnel with the requisite skills without significantly increasing our labor costs, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
General economic, political and market forces and dislocations beyond our control could reduce demand for our solutions, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
The demand for our data driven solutions may be impacted by factors that are beyond our control, including macroeconomic, political and market conditions, the availability of short-term and long-term funding and capital, the level and volatility of interest rates, currency exchange rates and inflation. The United States economy recently experienced periods of contraction and both the future domestic and global economic environments may continue to be less favorable than those of prior years. Any one or more of these factors may contribute to reduced activity and prices in the securities markets generally and could result in a reduction in demand for our solutions, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

COVID-19 or other pandemic, epidemic, or outbreak of an infectious disease may have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows, the nature and extent of which are highly uncertain and unpredictable.
The severity, magnitude and duration of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic is uncertain and rapidly changing. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic may impact our business, results of operations and financial condition remains uncertain. Furthermore, because of our business model, the full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic may not be fully reflected in our results of operations and overall financial condition until future periods.
Numerous state and local jurisdictions, including certain of the markets where we operate, had or have imposed, and others in the future may impose, “shelter-in-place” orders, quarantines, executive orders and similar government orders and restrictions for their residents to control the spread of COVID-19. Such orders or restrictions have resulted in periods of remote operations at our headquarters and medical centers, work stoppages among some vendors and suppliers, slowdowns and delays, travel restrictions and cancellation of events, among other effects, thereby negatively impacting our operations. Other disruptions or potential disruptions include restrictions on the ability of our personnel to travel; delays in actions of regulatory bodies; diversion of or limitations on employee resources that would otherwise be focused on the operations of our business, including because of sickness of employees or their families or the desire of employees to avoid contact with groups of people; business adjustments or disruptions of certain third parties; and additional government requirements or other incremental mitigation efforts. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts our business will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity and spread of COVID-19 and the actions to contain COVID-19 or treat its impact, among others.
It is not currently possible to reliably project the direct impact of COVID-19 on our operating revenues and expenses. Key factors include the duration and extent of the outbreak in areas in which we operate as well as societal and governmental responses.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we made operational changes to the staffing and operations of our offices to minimize potential exposure to COVID-19. If the COVID-19 pandemic worsens, especially in regions where we have offices, our business activities originating from affected areas could be adversely affected. Disruptive activities could include business closures in impacted areas, further restrictions on our employees’ ability to travel, impacts to productivity if our employees or their family members experience health issues, and potential delays in hiring and onboarding of new employees. We may take further actions that alter our business operations as may be required by local, state, or federal authorities or that we determine are in the best interests of our employees. Such measures could negatively affect our sales and marketing efforts, and employee productivity, any of which could harm our financial condition and business operations.
We are concentrated in certain geographic regions, which makes us sensitive to regulatory, economic, environmental and competitive conditions in those regions.
Due to the concentration of our operations in Florida, our business may be adversely affected by economic conditions that disproportionately affect Florida as compared to other states. In addition, our exposure to many of the risks described herein are not mitigated by a diversification of geographic focus.
Moreover, regions in and around the southeastern United States commonly experience hurricanes and other extreme weather conditions. As a result, our offices, especially those in Florida and Puerto Rico, are susceptible to physical damage and business interruption from an active hurricane season or a single severe storm. Moreover, global climate change could increase the intensity of individual hurricanes or the number of hurricanes that occur each year. Even if our facilities are not directly damaged, we may experience considerable disruptions in our operations due to property damage or electrical outages experienced in storm-affected areas by our employees. Additionally, long-term adverse weather conditions, whether caused by global climate change or otherwise, could cause an outmigration of people from the communities where our offices are located. If any of the circumstances described above occurred, there could be a harmful effect on our business and our results of operations could be adversely affected.
We depend on our senior management team and other key employees, and the loss of one or more of these employees or an inability to attract and retain other highly skilled employees could harm our business.
Our success depends largely upon the continued services of our senior management team and other key employees. We rely on our leadership team in the areas of operations, information technology and security, marketing, compliance and general and administrative functions. From time to time, there may be changes in our
52

TABLE OF CONTENTS

executive management team resulting from the hiring or departure of executives, which could disrupt our business. The loss (including as a result of a COVID-19 infection) of one or more of the members of our senior management team, or other key employees, could harm our business. In particular, the loss of the services of our founder and Chief Executive Officer, John H. Ruiz, could significantly delay or prevent the achievement of our strategic objectives. Changes in our executive management team may also cause disruptions in, and harm to, our business.
Our overall business results may suffer from an economic downturn.
During periods of high unemployment, governmental entities often experience budget deficits as a result of increased costs and lower than expected tax collections. These budget deficits at federal, state and local government entities and may decrease, spending for health and human service programs, including Medicare, Medicaid and similar programs, which represent significant payer sources for our Assignors.
The unaudited projected financial information contained in this proxy statement/prospectus may not be an indication of the Post-Combination Company’s results of operations or financial condition following the Business Combination.
The unaudited projected financial information is presented in this proxy statement/prospectus because they were provided by MSP to the LCAP Board for its evaluation of the Business Combination. The Company did not perform a formal sensitivity analysis on the projections, did not prepare its own projections, and did not secure a third-party valuation or fairness opinion. MSP has not warranted the accuracy, reliability, appropriateness or completeness of the financial projections to anyone, including the Company. These projections are based on certain adjustments, assumptions, and preliminary estimates, address a hypothetical situation and reflects very limited historical financial data. The inclusion of financial projections in this proxy statement/prospectus should not be regarded as an indication that MSP or the Company, their respective boards of directors or managers, or their respective affiliates, advisors or other representatives considered, or now considers, such financial projections necessarily to be predictive of actual future results or a basis to support or fail to support your decision regarding whether to vote for or against the Business Combination Proposal. Additionally, the unaudited projected financial information is not necessarily indicative of the future consolidated results of operations or financial position of the Post-Combination Company. In addition, the assumptions used in preparing the projected financial information are based on very limited actual experience to date and are therefore highly speculative and may not prove to be accurate, and other factors may affect the financial condition or results of operations of the Post-Combination Company following the Business Combination. Accordingly, the Post-Combination Company’s business, assets, cash flows, results of operations and financial condition may differ materially from those indicated by the unaudited projections included in this document. The financial projections are not fact and should not be relied upon as being necessarily indicative of future results, and readers of this proxy statement/prospectus, including investors or holders of shares of Class A Common Stock, are cautioned against unduly relying on this information. For more information, please see the section entitled “The Business Combination—Certain Projected Financial Information of MSP.”
Risks Related to the Company and the Business Combination
In this section, unless otherwise noted or the context otherwise requires, “we”, “us”, and “our” refer to the Company prior to the Business Combination and to the Post-Combination Company following the Business Combination.
Following the consummation of the Business Combination, our only significant asset will be our ownership interest in Opco. Such ownership may not be sufficient to pay dividends or make distributions or loans to enable us to pay any dividends on our common stock or satisfy our other financial obligations.
Following the consummation of the Business Combination, we will have no direct operations and no significant assets other than our limited liability company interest in Opco. We will depend on Opco for distributions, loans and other payments to generate the funds necessary to meet our financial obligations, including our expenses as a publicly traded company and to pay any dividends with respect to our common stock and to satisfy our obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement. The financial condition and operating requirements of Opco and its subsidiaries may limit our ability to obtain cash from Opco and to satisfy our obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement. The earnings from, or other available assets of, Opco may not be sufficient to pay dividends or make distributions or loans to enable us to pay any dividends on our common stock should we decide to do so or satisfy our other financial obligations and to satisfy our obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement. In addition, the covenants and
53

TABLE OF CONTENTS

restrictions in future indebtedness that we or Opco and its subsidiaries may incur, as well as the laws of the applicable jurisdictions of organization and agreements of Opco and its subsidiaries, may result in restrictions on Opco’s ability to make distributions to us or the ability of Opco’s subsidiaries to make distributions to it. For more information on the Tax Receivable Agreement, see “Other Agreements—Tax Receivable Agreement.”
Our Initial Stockholders have agreed to vote in favor of the Business Combination described in this proxy statement/prospectus, regardless of how our Public Stockholders vote.
Unlike many other blank check companies in which the founders agree to vote their founder shares in accordance with the majority of the votes cast by the holders of public stock in connection with an initial business combination, our Initial Stockholders (including Nomura) have agreed to vote any shares of common stock owned by them in favor of the Proposals. However, we intend to waive such obligations of the Sponsor, Nomura, our directors, and/or our officers to vote their shares of common stock in favor of the Proposals in respect of any shares purchased by such purchasers in Open Market Purchases. As of the date hereof, our Initial Stockholders own shares equal to 34.7% of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock. As a result, in addition to the shares of common stock held by Nomura, the Sponsor and our officers and directors, we may need only 2,826,816, or 23.5% (assuming all outstanding shares are voted), or no additional shares (assuming only the minimum number of shares representing a quorum are voted), of the Public Shares to be voted in favor of the Business Combination in order to have the Business Combination approved. Accordingly, it is more likely that the necessary stockholder approval will be received for the Business Combination than would be the case if our Initial Stockholders agreed to vote any shares of common stock owned by them in accordance with the majority of the votes cast by our Public Stockholders.
The Sponsor, certain members of the LCAP Board and our officers have interests in the Business Combination that are different from or are in addition to other stockholders in recommending that stockholders vote in favor of approval of the Business Combination Proposal and approval of the other proposals described in this proxy statement.
In considering the recommendation of the LCAP Board to vote for the proposals presented at the Special Meeting, including the Business Combination Proposal, you should be aware that aside from their interests as stockholders, the Sponsor and certain members of the LCAP Board and officers have interests in the Business Combination that are different from, or in addition to, the interests of our stockholders generally. As a result of such interests, the Sponsor and our directors and officers may be incentivized to complete a business combination with a less favorable combination partner or on terms less favorable to public shareholders rather than fail to complete a business combination by August 18, 2022 (or such later date as may be approved by the Company’s stockholders) and be forced to liquidate and dissolve the Company. The LCAP Board was aware of and considered these interests, among other matters, in evaluating and negotiating the Business Combination and the related agreements and in recommending to our stockholders that they vote in favor of the Proposals, including the Business Combination Proposal. Stockholders should take these interests into account in deciding whether to approve the proposals presented at the Special Meeting, including the Business Combination Proposal. These interests include, among other things:
the fact that our Initial Stockholders have agreed not to redeem any of the Founder Shares in connection with a stockholder vote to approve the proposed Business Combination;
the fact that Ophir Sternberg, Thomas W. Hawkins and Roger Meltzer will serve as directors of the Post-Combination Company;
the fact that the Sponsor paid an aggregate of $25,000 for 5,000,000 Founder Shares in January 2020 and, in February 2020, the Company declared a stock dividend of 0.15 share for each Founder Share outstanding, resulting in the Sponsor holding an aggregate of 5,750,000 Founder Shares. After giving effect to the sales or transfer of Founder Shares to Nomura and in connection with the IPO to certain insiders, the remaining 5,667,500 Founder Shares will have a significantly higher value at the time of the Business Combination, which if unrestricted and freely tradable would be valued at approximately $56,675,000 but, given the restrictions on such shares, we believe such shares have less value. In addition, given the differential in the purchase price that our Sponsor paid for the Founder Shares as compared to the price of the units sold in the IPO and the substantial number of shares of Class A Common Stock that our Sponsor will receive upon conversion of the Founder Shares in connection with the Business Combination, our
54

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Sponsor and its affiliates may earn a positive rate of return on their investment even if the common stock of the combined company trades below the price initially paid for the units in the IPO and the Public Stockholders experience a negative rate of return following the completion of the Business Combination;
the fact that Nomura has contingent fees owing to it upon the successful completion of the Business Combination, consisting of (a) an M&A fee of $20 million and (b) deferred underwriting fees of approximately $4.4 million;
the fact that our Initial Stockholders have agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their Founder Shares if we fail to complete an initial business combination by August 18, 2022 (or such later date as may be approved by the Company’s stockholders);
the fact that our Initial Stockholders, being holders of Class A Common Stock, are eligible to receive the dividend comprised of the New Warrants to be issued upon the automatic conversion of the Founder Shares at Closing, and the fact that, because our Initial Stockholders have agreed not to redeem their shares in connection with the Business Combination, they may receive a significant number of such New Warrants, if other holders of Class A Common Stock elect to exercise their redemption rights;
the fact that the Sponsor paid an aggregate of $5,950,000 for Private Units comprised of 297,500 Private Warrants to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock and that such Private Warrants will expire worthless if a business combination is not consummated by August 18, 2022;
the continued right of the Sponsor to hold Class A Common Stock and the shares of Class A Common Stock to be issued to the Sponsor upon exercise of its Private Warrants following the Business Combination, subject to certain lock-up periods;
if the Trust Account is liquidated, including in the event we are unable to complete an initial business combination within the required time period, the Sponsor has agreed to indemnify us to ensure that the proceeds in the Trust Account are not reduced below $10.00 per public share, or such lesser per public share amount as is in the Trust Account on the liquidation date, by the claims of prospective target businesses with which we have entered into an acquisition agreement or claims of any third party (other than our independent public accountants) for services rendered or products sold to us, but only if such a vendor or target business has not executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account;
the Sponsor (including its representatives and affiliates) and the Company directors and officers, are, or may in the future become, affiliated with entities that are engaged in a similar business to the Company. For example, each of the Company’s officers may be considered an affiliate of the Sponsor, and the directors and officers of the Company are also affiliated with Lionheart III and Lionheart IV, all of which are blank check companies incorporated for the purpose of effecting their respective initial business combinations. In addition, Mr. Meltzer serves on the board of directors of Haymaker Acquisition Corp. III, a blank check company incorporated for the purpose of effecting a business combination. The Sponsor and the Company’s directors and officers are not prohibited from sponsoring, or otherwise becoming involved with, any other blank check companies prior to the Company completing its initial business combination. Moreover, certain of the Company’s directors and officers have time and attention requirements for certain other companies. The Company’s directors and officers also may become aware of business opportunities which may be appropriate for presentation to the Company, and the other entities to which they owe certain fiduciary or contractual duties, including Lionheart III and Lionheart IV. Accordingly, they may have had conflicts of interest in determining to which entity a particular business opportunity should be presented. These conflicts may not be resolved in the Company’s favor and such potential business opportunities may be presented to other entities prior to their presentation to the Company, subject to applicable fiduciary duties. The Existing Charter provides that the Company renounces its interest in any corporate opportunity offered to any director or officer unless such opportunity is expressly offered to such person solely in his or her capacity as a director or officer of the Company and such opportunity is one the Company is legally and contractually permitted to undertake and would otherwise be reasonable for the Company to pursue, and to the extent the director or officer is permitted to refer that opportunity to the Company without violating another legal obligation. For more information, see “Management of the CompanyConflicts of Interests.”

the continued indemnification of our existing directors and officers and the continuation of our directors’ and officers’ liability insurance after the Business Combination;
the fact that the Sponsor and our directors and officers will lose their entire investment in us and will not be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses if an initial business combination is not consummated by August 18, 2022; and
that, at the closing of the Business Combination we will enter into the Registration Rights Agreement with the Sponsor and our directors and officers which provides for registration rights to such persons and their permitted transferees.
The personal and financial interests of the Sponsor and our officers and directors may have influenced their motivation in identifying and selecting MSP and completing a business combination with MSP. This risk may become more acute as the deadline of August 18, 2022 for completing an initial business combination nears, unless we amend our Existing Charter (which requires the affirmative vote of the holders of 65% of all then outstanding shares of common Stock) and amend certain other agreements into which we have entered to extend the life of the Company.
The Sponsor, Nomura, MSP, the Members and/or their respective affiliates may purchase shares from Public Stockholders, which could reduce the number of shares of Class A Common Stock that may be redeemed in connection with the Business Combination and reduce the public “float” of our Class A Common Stock.
The Sponsor, Nomura, MSP, the Members and/or their respective affiliates may purchase shares in privately negotiated transactions or in the open market either prior to or following the completion of the Business Combination, although they are under no obligation to do so. Such a purchase may include a contractual acknowledgement that such stockholder, although still the record holder of our shares is no longer the beneficial owner thereof and therefore agrees not to exercise its redemption rights. In the event shares are purchased in privately negotiated transactions from Public Stockholders who have already elected to exercise their redemption rights, such selling stockholders would be required to revoke their prior elections to redeem their shares. The purposes of such purchases would be to reduce the number of shares of Class A Common Stock that may be redeemed in connection with the Business Combination, and may include a business decision to increase such purchaser’s ownership at an attractive price.
In addition, the Sponsor, Nomura, MSP, the Members and/or their respective affiliates may make Open Market Purchases, by purchasing shares of Class A Common Stock on the open market prior to the Special Meeting and separate from the redemption process conducted in connection with the Business Combination. The purposes of any Open Market Purchases would be to reduce the number of shares of Class A Common Stock that may be redeemed in connection with the Business Combination, and may include a business decision to increase such purchaser’s ownership at an attractive price. The Sponsor, Nomura, MSP, the Members and/or their respective affiliates shall only make Open Market Purchases to the extent the price per Class A Common Stock so acquired is no higher than the redemption price that would be available in connection with the redemption procedures described in this proxy statement/prospectus. In addition, the Sponsor, Nomura, MSP, the Members and/or their respective affiliates will waive any redemption rights with respect to any shares of Class A Common Stock purchased in Open Market Purchases and will not vote any shares of Class A Common Stock purchased in Open Market Purchases in favor of the Proposals.
In addition, if such purchases are made, the public “float” of our Class A Common Stock and the number of beneficial holders of our securities may be reduced, possibly making it difficult to obtain or maintain the quotation, listing or trading of our securities on Nasdaq or another national securities exchange or reducing the liquidity of the trading market for our Class A Common Stock.
The Company May Not Hold an Annual Meeting of Stockholders Until After the Consummation of the Business Combination, Which Could Delay the Opportunity for its Stockholders to Elect Directors.
In accordance with Nasdaq corporate governance requirements, the Company is not required to hold an annual meeting until one year after its first fiscal year end following its listing on Nasdaq. Under Section 211(b) of the DGCL, the Company is, however, required to hold an annual meeting of stockholders for the purposes of electing directors in accordance with the Company’s bylaws unless such election is made by written consent in lieu of such a meeting. The Company may not hold an annual meeting of stockholders to elect new directors prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, and thus it may not be in compliance with Section 211(b) of the DGCL, which requires an annual meeting. Therefore, if the Company’s stockholders want it to hold an annual meeting prior
56

TABLE OF CONTENTS

to the consummation of the Business Combination, they may attempt to force the Company to hold one by submitting an application to the Delaware Court of Chancery in accordance with Section 211(c) of the DGCL.
After completion of the Business Combination, we will be controlled by the Members, including John H. Ruiz and Frank C. Quesada, whose interests may conflict with our interests and the interests of other stockholders.
Upon completion of the Business Combination, assuming (1) the no redemption scenario and (2) that the holders of the Company’s existing Public Warrants and Private Warrants exercise those warrants, and no New Warrants are exercised, the Members (or their designees) will hold all of our issued and outstanding Class V Common Stock, which will control approximately 99.1% of the combined voting power of our common stock, and John H. Ruiz and Frank C. Quesada, as a group, will control approximately 92.58% of the combined voting power of our common stock. Such ownership percentage will be affected by the level of redemptions by Public Stockholders and the exercise of outstanding warrants or New Warrants. See “Summary— Ownership of the Post-Combination Company.” The Members will effectively have the ability to determine all corporate actions requiring stockholder approval, including the election and removal of directors, any amendment to our certificate of incorporation or bylaws, or the approval of any merger or other significant corporate transaction, including a sale of substantially all of our assets. This could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control or otherwise discouraging a potential acquirer from attempting to obtain control of the Post-Combination Company, which could cause the market price of our Class A Common Stock to decline or prevent stockholders from realizing a premium over the market price for Class A Common Stock. The Members interests may conflict with our interests as a company or the interests of our other stockholders.
Our Public Stockholders will experience substantial dilution as a consequence of, among other transactions, the issuance of common stock in the Business Combination.
It is anticipated that, upon completion of the Business Combination, and assuming (1) the no redemption scenario and (2) that the holders of the Company’s existing Public Warrants and Private Warrants exercise those warrants, and no New Warrants are exercised: (i) the Company’s Public Stockholders will retain an economic interest of approximately 0.4% of the capital stock of the Post-Combination Company; and (ii) our Initial Stockholders (including the Sponsor) will retain an economic interest of approximately 0.2% of the capital stock of the Post-Combination Company. The Members (or their designees) will not have any economic interest in the capital stock of the Post-Combination Company, but will hold 99.1% of the combined voting power of the capital stock of the Post-Combination Company, through its ownership of Class V Common Stock. Such ownership percentage will be affected by the level of redemptions by Public Stockholders and the exercise of outstanding warrants or New Warrants. See “Summary—Ownership of the Post-Combination Company.”
The Company currently has an aggregate of 11,825,000 Warrants outstanding, including 325,000 Private Warrants, which will become exercisable on the later of (x) 30 days after closing of the Business Combination and (y) August 18, 2021, provided that there is an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants and a current prospectus relating to them is available. The Company has agreed to use reasonable best efforts to file such registration statement within 30 days following and such registration statement declared effective within 60 business days following the consummation of the Business Combination. The issuance of Class A Common Stock upon the exercise of Warrants could result in dilution to Public Stockholders. The 52 week trading range of the Public Warrants has been $0.6800-$0.7289, resulting in an average of $0.704 and an approximate value of $8.325 million. Since the Public Warrants are freely tradable, the number of Warrants outstanding is not dependent on the level of redemptions of Class A Common Stock. For more information on the Warrants, please see the Existing Warrant Agreement.
In addition, subject to the approval of the Incentive Plan Proposal and the authorization of the initial share reserve, the Company will have the ability to issue up to 98,736,750 shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to awards under the Incentive Plan. The shares of Class A Common Stock reserved for future issuance under the Incentive Plan will become eligible for sale in the public market once those shares are issued, subject to provisions relating to various vesting agreements, lock-up agreements and, in some cases, limitations on volume and manner of sale applicable to affiliates under Rule 144, as applicable. The aggregate number of shares that may be issued pursuant to awards under the Incentive Plan will be subject to an annual increase on January 1 of each calendar year (commencing with January 1, 2023 and ending on and including January 1, 2031) equal to the lesser of (i) a number of shares equal to 3% of the total number of shares actually issued and outstanding on the last day of the preceding fiscal year or (ii) a number of shares as determined by the Board. The Post-Combination Company is expected to file
57

TABLE OF CONTENTS

one or more registration statements on Form S-8 under the Securities Act to register shares of Class A Common Stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Class A Common Stock issued pursuant to the Incentive Plan. Any such Form S-8 registration statements will automatically become effective upon filing. Accordingly, shares registered under such registration statements will be available for sale in the open market.
The ownership percentage with respect to the Post-Combination Company following the Business Combination (i) does not take into account (a) warrants to purchase Class A Common Stock that will remain outstanding immediately following the Business Combination, (b) the issuance of any shares upon completion of the Business Combination under the Incentive Plan, or (c) the New Warrants issued as dividends in connection with the Business Combination. If the actual facts are different than these assumptions (which they are likely to be), the percentage ownership retained by the Company’s existing stockholders in the Post-Combination Company will be different. For more information, please see the sections entitled “Summary of the Proxy Statement—Ownership of the Post-Combination Company,” “Summary of the Proxy Statement—Impact of the Business Combination on the Company’s Public Float,” “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information” and Proposal No. 6—Approval of the Incentive Plan, Including the Authorization of the Initial Share Reserve Under the Incentive Plan.”
A significant portion of our total outstanding shares are restricted from immediate resale but may be sold into the market in the near future. This could cause the market price of our Class A Common Stock to drop significantly, even if our business is doing well.
Sales of a substantial number of shares of Class A Common Stock in the public market could occur at any time. These sales, or the perception in the market that the holders of a large number of shares intend to sell shares, could reduce the market price of our Class A Common Stock. After the Business Combination, our Initial Stockholders, including the Sponsor, will hold approximately 0.2% of our Class A Common Stock. 5,750,000 shares of Class A Common Stock in the aggregate may be issued to the Members upon conversion of any Class V Common Stock that the Members may receive if it elects to exchange its Up-C Units. In addition, at the closing of the Business Combination, the Company will enter into the Registration Rights Agreement with certain Restricted Stockholders. Pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, (i) any outstanding share of Class A Common Stock or any other equity security (including the Private Warrants and including shares of Class A Common Stock issued or issuable upon the exercise of any other equity security) of the Company held by a Restricted Stockholder as of the date of the Registration Rights Agreement or thereafter acquired by a Restricted Stockholder upon conversion of the Class B Common Stock and upon exercise of any Private Warrants and shares of Class A Common Stock issued or issuable upon exchange of the Up-C Units and (ii) any other equity security of the Company issued or issuable with respect to any such share of Class A Common Stock by way of a stock dividend or stock split or in connection with a combination of shares, recapitalization, merger, consolidation or reorganization will be entitled to registration rights. In addition, the Sponsor and our officers and directors entered into a letter agreement pursuant to which they agreed that, with certain limited exceptions, the Founder Shares (which will be converted into shares of Class A Common Stock at the closing of the Business Combination), the Class A Common Stock and the Private Warrants owned by each such holder may not be transferred until the earlier of (i) six months after the Closing Date or (ii) subsequent to the Business Combination, (x) if the closing 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 Closing Date 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 Company stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of Class A Common Stock for cash, securities or other property. In addition, given that the lock-up period is potentially shorter than most other blank check companies, these shares may become registered and available for sale sooner than shares in such other companies.
Resales of the shares of Class A Common Stock issued in connection with future Up-C Unit exchanges could depress the market price of our Class A Common Stock.
Assuming (1) the no redemption scenario, (2) that the holders of the Company’s existing Public Warrants and Private Warrants exercise those warrants, and no New Warrants are exercised and (3) only Up-C Units (and no shares of Class A Common Stock) are issued to the Members and their designees at Closing, the Company will have approximately 30,278,631 shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding immediately following the Business Combination, and there may be a large number of shares of Class A Common Stock sold in the market following the

completion of the Business Combination or shortly thereafter. In addition, 3,250,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock may be issued to the Members, their designees or their respective permitted transferees or assigns in connection with future Up-C Unit exchanges. The shares held by the Company’s Public Stockholders are freely tradable. At any time following the closing of the Business Combination, the Restricted Stockholders will be able to make a demand request, subject to certain conditions, that a registration statement be filed covering the resales of shares of Class A Common Stock held by such Restricted Stockholders. We also expect that the Restricted Stockholders will also be able to resell shares of Class A Common Stock held by them under Rule 144 once one year has elapsed from the date that we file the Current Report on Form 8-K following the closing of the Business Combination that includes the required Form 10 information that reflects we are no longer a shell company.
Such sales of shares of Class A Common Stock or the perception of such sales may depress the market price of our Class A Common Stock.
We will qualify as a “controlled company” within the meaning of the Nasdaq listing standards and, as a result, our stockholders may not have certain corporate governance protections that are available to stockholders of companies that are not controlled companies.
So long as more than 50% of the voting power for the election of directors is held by an individual, a group or another company, we will qualify as a “controlled company” under the Nasdaq listing requirements. Following the completion of the Business Combination, the Members, including John H. Ruiz and Frank C. Quesada, will control a majority of the voting power of our outstanding capital stock. As a result, we will qualify as a “controlled company” under the Nasdaq listing standards and will not be subject to the requirements that would otherwise require us to have: (i) a majority of “independent directors,” as defined under the listing standards of Nasdaq; (ii) a nominating and corporate governance committee comprised solely of independent directors; and (iii) a compensation committee comprised solely of independent directors. In addition, after completion of the Business Combination, the Members, including John H. Ruiz and Frank C. Quesada will have the ability to control matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election and removal of directors, any amendment to our certificate of incorporation or bylaws, or the approval of any merger or other significant corporate transaction, including a sale of substantially all of our assets. See “—After completion of the Business Combination, we will be controlled by the Members, including John H. Ruiz and Frank C. Quesada, whose interests may conflict with our interests and the interests of other stockholders.”
The Members, including John H. Ruiz and Frank C. Quesada, may have their interest in us diluted due to future equity issuances, repurchases under the LLC Agreement from the MSP Principals in connection with the exercise of New Warrants or Members or their designees selling shares of Class A Common Stock, in each case, which could result in a loss of the “controlled company” exemption under the Nasdaq listing rules. We would then be required to comply with those provisions of the Nasdaq listing requirements.
There can be no assurance that we will be able to comply with the continued listing standards of Nasdaq.
Our Class A Common Stock, Public Units and Public Warrants are currently listed on Nasdaq. If, after the Business Combination, Nasdaq delists our Class A Common Stock from trading on its exchange for failure to meet the listing standards, we and our stockholders could face significant material adverse consequences including:
a limited availability of market quotations for our securities;
reduced liquidity for our securities;
a determination that the Class A Common Stock is a “penny stock” which will require brokers trading in the Class Common A Stock to adhere to more stringent rules and possibly result in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for our securities;
a limited amount of news and analyst coverage; and
a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future.
The National Securities Markets Improvement Act of 1996, which is a federal statute, prevents or preempts the states from regulating the sale of certain securities, which are referred to as “covered securities.” To the extent our Class A Common Stock, Public Units and Public Warrants are listed on Nasdaq, they are covered securities. Although the states are preempted from regulating the sale of our securities, the federal statute does allow the states to investigate companies if there is a suspicion of fraud, and, if there is a finding of fraudulent activity, then the states

can regulate or bar the sale of covered securities in a particular case. While we are not aware of a state, other than the State of Idaho, having used these powers to prohibit or restrict the sale of securities issued by blank check companies, certain state securities regulators view blank check companies unfavorably and might use these powers, or threaten to use these powers, to hinder the sale of securities of blank check companies in their states. Further, if we were no longer listed on Nasdaq, our securities would not be covered securities and we would be subject to regulation in each state in which we offer our securities.
We have no operating history and are subject to a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution requirement. As such, there is a risk that we will be unable to continue as a going concern if we do not consummate an initial business combination by August 18, 2022. If we are unable to effect an initial business combination by August 18, 2022, we will be forced to liquidate and our warrants will expire worthless.
We are a blank check company, and as we have no operating history and are subject to a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution requirement, there is a risk that we will be unable to continue as a going concern if we do not consummate an initial business combination by August 18, 2022. Unless we amend our Existing Charter (which requires the affirmative vote of the holders of 65% of all then outstanding shares of common stock) and certain other agreements into which we have entered to extend the life of the Company, if we do not complete an initial business combination by August 18, 2022, 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 not previously released to the Company to fund its working capital requirements and 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), subject to applicable law; and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining stockholders and the LCAP Board, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to our obligations under the DGCL to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the residual assets remaining available for distribution (including Trust Account assets) will be less than the initial public offering price per Public Unit in the IPO. In addition, if we fail to complete an initial business combination by August 18, 2022, there will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to our Public Warrants or the Private Warrants, which will expire worthless. We expect to consummate the Business Combination and do not intend to take any action to extend the life of the Company beyond August 18, 2022 if we are unable to effect an initial business combination by that date.
Our ability to successfully effect the Business Combination and to be successful thereafter will be dependent upon the efforts of our key personnel, including the key personnel of MSP whom we expect to stay with the Post-Combination Company. The loss of key personnel could negatively impact the operations and profitability of the Post-Combination Company and its financial condition could suffer as a result.
Our ability to successfully effect the Business Combination is dependent upon the efforts of our key personnel and the key personnel of MSP. It is possible that we will lose some key personnel, the loss of which could negatively impact the operations and profitability of the Post-Combination Company. We anticipate that some or all of the management of MSP will remain in place.
MSP’s success depends to a significant degree upon the continued contributions of senior management, certain of whom would be difficult to replace. Departure by certain of MSP’s officers could have a material adverse effect on MSP’s business, financial condition, or operating results. MSP does not maintain key-man life insurance on any of its officers. The services of such personnel may not continue to be available to the Post-Combination Company.
The Company and MSP will be subject to business uncertainties and contractual restrictions while the Business Combination is pending.
Uncertainty about the effect of the Business Combination on MSP’s team members and third parties may have an adverse effect on the Company and MSP. These uncertainties may impair our or MSP’s ability to retain and motivate key personnel and could cause third parties that deal with any of us or them to defer entering into contracts or making other decisions or seek to change existing business relationships. If key team members depart because of uncertainty about their future roles and the potential complexities of the Business Combination, our or MSP’s business could be harmed.

We may waive one or more of the conditions to the Business Combination.
We may agree to waive, in whole or in part, one or more of the conditions to our obligations to complete the Business Combination, to the extent permitted by our Existing Charter and bylaws and applicable laws. However, if the LCAP Board determines that a failure to satisfy the condition is not material, then the LCAP Board may elect to waive that condition and close the Business Combination. We may not waive the condition that our stockholders approve the Business Combination. Please see the section entitled “The Membership Interest Purchase Agreement—Conditions to Closing of the Business Combination” for additional information.
The exercise of discretion by our directors and officers in agreeing to changes to the terms of or waivers of closing conditions in the MIPA may result in a conflict of interest when determining whether such changes to the terms of the MIPA or waivers of conditions are appropriate and in the best interests of our stockholders.
In the period leading up to the closing of the Business Combination, other events may occur that, pursuant to the MIPA, would require the Company to agree to amend the MIPA, to consent to certain actions or to waive rights that we are entitled to under those agreements. Such events could arise because of changes in the course of MSP’s business, a request by MSP to undertake actions that would otherwise be prohibited by the terms of the MIPA or the occurrence of other events that would have a material adverse effect on MSP’s business and would entitle the Company to terminate the MIPA. In any of such circumstances, it would be in the discretion of the Company, acting through the LCAP Board, to grant its consent or waive its rights. The existence of the financial and personal interests of the directors described elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus may result in a conflict of interest on the part of one or more of the directors between what he may believe is best for the Company and our stockholders and what he may believe is best for himself or his affiliates in determining whether or not to take the requested action. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, we do not believe there will be any changes or waivers that our directors and officers would be likely to make after stockholder approval of the Business Combination has been obtained. While certain changes could be made without further stockholder approval, if there is a change to the terms of the Business Combination that would have a material impact on the stockholders, we will be required to circulate a new or amended proxy statement or supplement thereto and resolicit
