We refer to this proposal as the “Adjournment Proposal” and, together with the Pre-Merger Charter Amendment Proposal, the Business Combination Proposal, the Director Election Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal, the Post-Merger Charter Amendment Proposals, the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan Proposal and the CEO Incentive Plan Proposal, as the “Proposals.”

Only holders of record of CF II Common Stock at the close of business on                (the “Record Date”) are entitled to notice of the Special Meeting and to vote at the Special Meeting and any adjournments or postponements of the Special Meeting. Please note that you will not be able to attend the Special Meeting in person. In light of the ongoing developments relating to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and to protect the health of CF II stockholders, management, employees and the community, the Special Meeting will be held virtually conducted via live audio webcast. You will be able to attend the Special Meeting by visiting                . CF II recommends that you log in at least 15 minutes before the Special Meeting to ensure you are logged in when the meeting starts.

Pursuant to the Existing Charter, CF II is providing its public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem, upon the closing of the Business Combination, shares of CF II Class A Common Stock then held by them for cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount on deposit (as of two (2) business days prior to the closing of the Business Combination) in the Trust Account that holds the proceeds (including interest but less taxes payable) of the IPO. For illustrative purposes, based on funds in the Trust Account of $500 million on December 18, 2020, the estimated per share redemption price would have been approximately $10.00. CF II public stockholders are not required to affirmatively vote for or against the Business Combination in order to redeem their shares of CF II Class A Common Stock for cash. This means that public stockholders who hold shares of CF II Class A Common Stock on or before                , (two (2) business days before the Special Meeting) will be eligible to elect to have their shares of CF II Class A Common Stock redeemed for cash in connection with the Special Meeting, whether or not they are holders as of the Record Date, and whether or not such shares are voted at the Special Meeting. A public stockholder, together with any of his, her or its affiliates or any other person with whom it is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), will be restricted from redeeming in the aggregate his, her or its shares or, if part of such a group, the group’s shares, with respect to 15% or more of the shares of CF II Class A Common Stock included in the Units sold in the IPO. Holders of our outstanding Public Warrants and Units do not have redemption rights with respect to such securities in connection with the Business Combination. Holders of outstanding Units must separate the underlying Public Shares and Public Warrants prior to exercising redemption rights with respect to the Public Shares. CF II’s sponsor, officers and directors have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to any shares of CF II Common Stock they may hold in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination, and such shares will be excluded from the pro rata calculation used to determine the per-share redemption price. Currently, the Sponsor owns 21.3% of the issued and outstanding shares of CF II Common Stock. The Sponsor and CF II’s directors and officers have agreed to vote any shares of CF II Common Stock owned by them in favor of the Business Combination Proposal.

The approval of each of the Pre-Merger Charter Amendment Proposal, the Business Combination Proposal, and the Post-Merger Charter Amendment Proposals requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of CF II Common Stock as of the Record Date for the Special Meeting. The approval of the election of each director nominee pursuant to the Director Election Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a plurality of the shares of CF II Common Stock represented in person or by proxy and voted thereon at the Special Meeting. The approval of the Nasdaq Proposal, the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan Proposal, the CEO Incentive Plan Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal each require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of CF II Common Stock cast by the stockholders represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote

thereon at the Special Meeting. If the Pre-Merger Charter Amendment Proposal and the Business Combination Proposal are not approved, the Director Election Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal, the Post-Merger Charter Amendment Proposals, the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan Proposal and the CEO Incentive Plan Proposal will not be presented to the CF II stockholders for a vote. The approval of each of the Pre-Merger Charter Amendment Proposal, the Business Combination Proposal, the election of each director nominee pursuant to the Director Election Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal, the Post-Merger Charter Amendment Proposals, the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan Proposal and the CEO Incentive Plan Proposal, is a precondition to the consummation of the Business Combination. The CF II Board has already approved the Business Combination.

As of December 18, 2020, there was $500 million in the Trust Account. Each redemption of shares of CF II Class A Common Stock by CF II’s public stockholders will decrease the amount in the Trust Account. Net tangible assets will be maintained at a minimum of $5,000,001 immediately prior to or upon consummation of the Business Combination.

Your attention is directed to the proxy statement/prospectus accompanying this notice (including the annexes thereto) for a more complete description of the proposed Business Combination and related transactions and each of the Proposals. We encourage you to read this proxy statement/prospectus carefully. If you have any questions or need assistance voting your shares, please call Morrow Sodali LLC at (800) 662-5200 (banks and brokers call collect at (203) 658-9400).

Q: Are the proposals conditioned on one another?

A: The Business Combination Proposal is subject to and conditioned upon the approval of the Pre-Merger Charter Amendment Proposal. Unless the Pre-Merger Charter Amendment Proposal is approved, the Business Combination Proposal will not be presented to the stockholders of CF II at the Special Meeting. The Director Election Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal, the Post-Merger Charter Amendment Proposals, the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan Proposal, and the CEO Incentive Plan Proposal are subject to and conditioned on the approval of the Pre-Merger Charter Amendment Proposal and the Business Combination Proposal. Unless the Pre-Merger Charter Amendment Proposal and the Business Combination Proposal are approved, the Director Election Amendment Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal, the Post-Merger Charter Amendment Proposals, the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan Proposal, and the CEO Incentive Plan Proposal will not be presented to the stockholders of CF II at the Special Meeting. The Business Combination Proposal is also subject to and conditioned on the approval of the Director Election Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal, each of the Post-Merger Charter Amendment Proposals, the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan Proposal, and the CEO Incentive Plan Proposal. The Adjournment Proposal is not conditioned on the approval of any other Proposal set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus. It is important for you to note that in the event that the Business Combination Proposal or any of the other Proposals (except for the Adjournment Proposal) does not receive the requisite vote for approval, we will not consummate the Business Combination. If CF II does not consummate the Business Combination and fails to complete an initial business combination by August 31, 2022 (or a later date approved by the stockholders of CF II pursuant to the Existing Charter), CF II will be required to dissolve and liquidate its Trust Account by returning the then remaining funds in such account to its public stockholders in accordance with the Existing Charter, subject to payment of CF II’s tax obligations and up to $100,000 of dissolution expenses.

Q: What will happen in the Business Combination?

A: At the Closing, Merger Sub will merge with and into View with View surviving such merger and holders of View Capital Stock will receive shares of CF II Class A Common Stock in exchange for their shares of View Capital Stock. Upon consummation of the Business Combination, View will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of CF II. In connection with the Business Combination, the remaining cash held in the Trust Account after redemptions, if any, and the proceeds from the PIPE Investment will be used to pay the transaction expenses of CF II and View in connection with the Business Combination and for working capital and general corporate purposes. In connection with the Business Combination, CF II and/or View may seek to arrange for additional third party financing which may be in the form of debt (including bank debt or convertible notes) or equity (including the sale of shares pursuant to additional PIPE subscriptions), the proceeds of which would be used to repay amounts outstanding under existing View indebtedness at Closing or for other purposes (including, in the case of CF II, to meet the minimum cash condition for consummating the Business Combination (as described below) set forth in the Merger Agreement). A copy of the Merger Agreement is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex A.

10

Q: What equity stake will current stockholders of CF II and holders of View Capital Stock hold in the Combined Entity after the Closing?

A: It is anticipated that, upon the completion of the Business Combination, and assuming no redemptions by CF II’s public stockholders, (i) CF II’s public stockholders (other than the PIPE Investment investors) will retain an ownership interest of 23.0% of the Combined Entity, (ii) the PIPE Investment investors (other than the Sponsor and holders of View Capital Stock) will own 4.0% of the Combined Entity, (iii) the Sponsor, the other initial stockholders and their affiliates, through their ownership of Founder Shares, Placement Units, the purchase by the Sponsor of CF II Class A Common Stock in the PIPE Investment and the issuance of CF II Class A Common Stock to CF&Co. in consideration of its M&A fee, will retain an ownership interest of 8.9% of the Combined Entity and (iv) the holders of View Capital Stock (including their shares of CF II Class A Common Stock purchased in in the PIPE Investment) will own 64.1% of the Combined Entity. The ownership percentage with respect to the Combined Entity following the Business Combination is based upon the number of shares of View Capital Stock issued and outstanding as of December 18, 2020, but does not take into account (i) the redemption of any shares by CF II’s public stockholders, (ii) the exercise of the Warrants, or any assumed warrants, outstanding following the Business Combination and (iii) the exercise of any Options or other securities under any incentive plans, including any assumed options or securities provided for in connection with the CEO Incentive Plan and the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan, outstanding following the Business Combination. If the actual facts are different than these assumptions (which they are likely to be), the percentage ownership retained by CF II’s existing stockholders and holders of View Capital Stock in the Combined Entity will be different.

See the section titled “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information” for further information.

Q: What conditions must be satisfied to complete the Business Combination?

A: There are a number of closing conditions in the Merger Agreement, including the approval by the stockholders of CF II of the Pre-Merger Charter Amendment Proposal, the Business Combination Proposal, the Director Election Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal, the Post-Merger Charter Amendment Proposals, the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan Proposal, and the CEO Incentive Plan Proposal. CF II must obtain the approval of CF II stockholders for each of the proposals set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus for their approval (other than the Adjournment Proposal) and View must obtain the written consent of View Stockholders for the merger. CF II and View must also obtain certain necessary regulatory approvals and satisfy other closing conditions set forth under the Merger Agreement. For a summary of the conditions that must be satisfied or waived prior to the Closing of the Business Combination, see the section titled “The Business Combination Proposal — The Merger Agreement.”

Q: Why is CF II providing stockholders with the opportunity to vote on the Business Combination?

A: Under the Existing Charter, CF II must provide all holders of its Public Shares with the opportunity to have their Public Shares redeemed upon the consummation of CF II’s initial business combination either in conjunction with a tender offer or in conjunction with a stockholder vote. For business and other reasons, CF II has elected to provide its stockholders with the opportunity to have their Public Shares redeemed in connection with a stockholder vote rather than a tender offer. Therefore, CF II is seeking to obtain the approval of its stockholders of the Business Combination Proposal in order to allow its public stockholders to effectuate redemptions of their Public Shares in connection with the Closing of the Business Combination.

Q: Are there any arrangements to help ensure that CF II will have sufficient funds, together with the proceeds in its Trust Account, to meet the minimum cash condition for consummating the Business Combination?

A: Yes. On November 30, 2020, CF II entered into PIPE Subscription Agreements with a number of subscribers, including the Sponsor, pursuant to which the subscribers agreed to purchase, and CF II agreed

11

to sell to the subscribers, an aggregate of up to 30,000,000 shares of CF II Class A Common Stock for gross proceeds to CF II of $300,000,000 in a private placement. The closing of the PIPE Investment is contingent upon, among other customary closing conditions, the substantially concurrent Closing. The proceeds from the Trust Account and the PIPE Investment will be used to pay any loans owed by CF II to the Sponsor, for any CF II transaction expenses or other administrative expenses incurred by CF II, and to pay all unpaid transaction expenses of View and any remainder will be used for general corporate purposes, including, but not limited to, working capital for operations, capital expenditures and future acquisitions. In addition, CF II and/or View may seek to arrange for additional third-party financing which may be in the form of debt (including bank debt or convertible notes) or equity (including the sale of shares pursuant to additional PIPE subscriptions), the proceeds of which would be used for a variety of purposes including, in the case of CF II, to meet the minimum cash condition for consummating the Business Combination.

Q: How many votes do I have at the Special Meeting?

A: CF II stockholders are entitled to one vote at the Special Meeting for each share of CF II Common Stock held of record as of             , the Record Date for the Special Meeting. As of the close of business on the Record Date, there were 63,600,000 outstanding shares of CF II Common Stock.

Q: What vote is required to approve the proposals presented at the Special Meeting?

A: The approval of each of the Pre-Merger Charter Amendment Proposal, the Business Combination Proposal and the Post-Merger Charter Amendment Proposals requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of CF II Common Stock as of the Record Date. Accordingly, a CF II stockholder’s failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person at the Special Meeting or an abstention will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the Pre-Merger Charter Amendment Proposal, the Business Combination Proposal and the Post-Merger Charter Amendment Proposals.

The Sponsor and our directors and officers have agreed to vote their shares in favor of the Business Combination Proposal. As a result, we would need only 18,200,001, or 36.4%, of the 50,000,000 Public Shares, to be voted in favor of the Business Combination in order to have the Business Combination approved.

The approval of the election of each director nominee pursuant to the Director Election Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a plurality of the shares of CF II Common Stock represented in person or by proxy and voted thereon at the Special Meeting. The approval of the Nasdaq Proposal, the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan Proposal, the CEO Incentive Plan Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal each requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of CF II Common Stock cast by the stockholders represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon at the Special Meeting. A CF II stockholder’s failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person at the Special Meeting will not be counted towards the number of shares of CF II Common Stock required to validly establish a quorum, and if a valid quorum is otherwise established, it will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on the Director Election Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal, the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan Proposal, the CEO Incentive Plan Proposal and Adjournment Proposal.

If the Pre-Merger Charter Amendment Proposal and the Business Combination Proposal are not approved, the Director Election Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal, the Post-Merger Charter Amendment Proposals, the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan Proposal, and the CEO Incentive Plan Proposal will not be presented to the CF II stockholders for a vote. The approval of the Pre-Merger Charter Amendment Proposal, the Business Combination Proposal, the election of each director nominee pursuant to the Director Election Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal, the Post-Merger Charter Amendment Proposals, the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan Proposal and the CEO Incentive Plan Proposal are preconditions to the consummation of the Business Combination.

12

Q: What constitutes a quorum at the Special Meeting?

A: Holders of a majority in voting power of CF II Common Stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting constitute a quorum. In the absence of a quorum, the chairman of the meeting has the power to adjourn the Special Meeting. As of the Record Date, 31,180,001 shares of CF II Common Stock would be required to achieve a quorum.

Q: How will the Sponsor and CF II’s directors and officers vote?

A: The Sponsor and CF II’s officers and directors have agreed to vote any Founders Shares and Placement Shares held by them in favor of the initial business combination, including the Business Combination. Accordingly, if CF II seeks stockholder approval of its initial business combination, it is more likely that the necessary stockholder approval will be received than would be the case if the Sponsor and CF II’s officers and directors had agreed to vote their Founders Shares and Placement Shares in accordance with the majority of the votes cast by CF II’s public stockholders. As a result, we would need only 18,200,001, or 36.4%, of the 50,000,000 Public Shares, to be voted in favor of the Business Combination in order to have the Business Combination approved.

Q: What interests do the Sponsor and CF II’s current officers, directors and affiliates have in the Business Combination?

A: The Sponsor and CF II’s directors, officers and affiliates have interests in the Business Combination that are different from or in addition to (and which may conflict with) your interest. These interests include:

• unless CF II consummates an initial business combination, CF II’s officers and directors and the Sponsor will not receive reimbursement for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them on behalf of CF II to the extent that such expenses exceed the amount of available proceeds not deposited in the Trust Account;

• the Placement Units, including the Placement Shares, and Placement Warrants, purchased by the Sponsor will be worthless if a business combination is not consummated;

• the Sponsor has agreed that the Placement Units, and all of their underlying securities, will not be sold or transferred by it until 30 days after CF II has completed a business combination, subject to limited exceptions;

• the fact that Sponsor paid an aggregate of $25,000 for its Founders Shares and such securities will have a significantly higher value at the time of the Business Combination;

• the fact that Sponsor has agreed not to redeem any of the Founders Shares or Placement Shares in connection with a stockholder vote to approve a proposed initial business combination;

• if CF II does not complete an initial business combination by August 31, 2022 (or a later date approved by the stockholders of CF II pursuant to the Existing Charter), the proceeds from the sale of the Placement Units will be included in the liquidating distribution to CF II’s public stockholders and the Placement Warrants will expire worthless;

• the fact that upon completion of the Business Combination, an aggregate amount of $17.5 million in business combination marketing fees, $7.5 million of M&A advisory fees payable in shares of CF II Common Stock and $1.5 million of placement agent fees will be payable to CF&Co., an affiliate of CF II and the Sponsor;

• if the Trust Account is liquidated, including in the event CF II is unable to complete an initial business combination within the required time period, the Sponsor has agreed to indemnify CF II to ensure that the proceeds in the Trust Account are not reduced below $10.00 per Public Share by the claims of prospective target businesses with which CF II has entered into an acquisition agreement or claims of any third party for services rendered or products sold to CF II, 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;

13

• the fact that the Sponsor and CF II’s officers and directors will lose their entire investment in CF II, including loans in the aggregate amount of $160,000 as of November 30, 2020, if an initial business combination is not completed;

• the fact that CF II’s independent directors own 30,000 Founder Shares that were transferred by the Sponsor at no cost, which if unrestricted and freely tradeable would be valued at $336,000, based on the closing price of CF II Class A Common Stock on December 21, 2020;

• CF Securities, an affiliate of CF II and the Sponsor, has entered into an engagement letter with the finance provider pursuant to View’s revolving debt facility pursuant to which CF Securities will receive a fee in the event of reductions in the principal amount under such revolving debt facility (subject to the conditions set forth therein);

• Cantor, an affiliate of Sponsor, has entered into a financing assistance contract with View, pursuant to which Cantor intends to establish one or more financing entities together with View to support the purchase and sale of View’s products and services, and such financing entities will have the right to purchase View’s products at a discount to the then actual selling price for comparably featured orders;

• View appointed Newmark (as defined herein), an affiliate of the Sponsor, as its exclusive provider of real estate services and commissioned house agent for referrals of sales of View products or services installed in buildings in North America (other than certain verticals and customers, and subject to certain other exceptions) and Newmark will be entitled to commissions in respect of such sales and will also receive commissions on its referrals that are no less than the commissions granted to other referring parties; and

• the fact that CF II’s officers and directors will be eligible for continued indemnification and continued coverage under a directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy after the business combination and pursuant to the Merger Agreement.

These interests may influence CF II’s officers and directors in making their recommendation that you vote in favor of the approval of the Business Combination. The CF II Board was aware of and considered these interests to the extent such interests existed at the time, among other matters, in approving the Merger Agreement and in recommending that the Merger Agreement and the Business Combination be approved by the stockholders of CF II. See “The Business Combination Proposal — Interests of the Sponsor and CF II’s Directors, Officers and Affiliates in the Business Combination” beginning on page 147 of this proxy statement/prospectus.

Q. Did the CF II Board obtain a third-party valuation or fairness opinion in determining whether or not to proceed with the Business Combination?

A. The CF II Board did not obtain a third-party valuation or fairness opinion in connection with its determination to approve the Business Combination. The CF II Board believes that based upon the financial skills and background of its directors, it was qualified to conclude that the Business Combination was fair from a financial perspective to its stockholders. The CF II Board also determined, without seeking a valuation from a financial advisor, that View’s fair market value was at least 80% of CF II’s net assets, excluding any taxes payable on interest earned. Accordingly, investors will be relying on the judgment of the CF II Board as described above in valuing View’s business and assuming the risk that the CF II Board may not have properly valued such business.

Q. What factors did the CF II Board consider in determining whether or not to proceed with the Business Combination?

A. The CF II Board considered a number of factors pertaining to the Business Combination as generally supporting its decision to enter into the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including, but not limited to, View’s leadership position in the smart glass industry, large and growing

14

addressable market, growth potential of View’s business, relationships with a broad, diverse and growing customer base, experienced management team and attractive valuation.

The CF II Board also considered a variety of uncertainties and risks and other potentially negative factors concerning the Business Combination including, but not limited to: macroeconomic uncertainty, risks relating to the performance of the commercial real estate market generally and such market’s adoption and utilization of smart glass in new construction and/or renovation, the risks that business plan and projections may not be achieved and risks relating to CF II’s valuation of View, in particular the lack of third party valuation. See the sections titled “The Business Combination Proposal — The CF II Board’s Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination.”

Q: What happens if I sell my shares of CF II Class A Common Stock before the Special Meeting?

A: The Record Date is earlier than the date of the Special Meeting. If you transfer your shares of CF II 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 because you will no longer be able to deliver them for cancellation upon consummation of the Business Combination in accordance with the provisions described herein. If you transfer your shares of CF II Class A Common Stock prior to the Record Date, you will have no right to vote those shares at the Special Meeting.

Q: What happens if I vote against the Business Combination Proposal?

A: Pursuant to the Existing Charter, if the Business Combination Proposal is not approved and CF II does not otherwise consummate an alternative business combination by August 31, 2022 (or a later date approved by the stockholders of CF II pursuant to the Existing Charter), CF II will be required to dissolve and liquidate its Trust Account by returning the then remaining funds in such account to the public stockholders, subject to payment of CF II’s tax obligations and up to $100,000 of dissolution expenses.

Q: Do I have redemption rights?

A: Pursuant to the Existing Charter, holders of Public Shares may elect to have their shares redeemed for cash at the applicable redemption price per share calculated in accordance with the Existing Charter. As of December 18, 2020, based on funds in the Trust Account of $500 million, this would have amounted to approximately $10.00 per share. If a holder exercises its redemption rights, then such holder will be exchanging its shares of CF II Common Stock for cash. Such a holder will be entitled to receive cash for its Public Shares only if it properly demands redemption and delivers its shares (either physically or electronically) to CF II’s transfer agent prior to the Special Meeting. See the section titled “Special Meeting of CF II Stockholders — Redemption Rights” for the procedures to be followed if you wish to redeem your shares for cash.

Q: Will how I vote affect my ability to exercise redemption rights?

A: No. You may exercise your redemption rights whether or not you affirmatively vote your shares of CF II Common Stock “FOR” or “AGAINST” the Business Combination Proposal or abstain from voting on the Business Combination Proposal or any other proposal described by this proxy statement/prospectus. As a result, the Merger Agreement can be approved by stockholders who will redeem their shares and no longer remain stockholders, leaving stockholders who choose not to redeem their shares holding shares in a company with a potentially less liquid trading market, fewer stockholders, potentially less cash and the potential inability to meet the listing standards of Nasdaq.

Q: How do I exercise my redemption rights?

A: In order to exercise your redemption rights, you must, prior to 5:00 p.m., Eastern time, on         (two (2) business days before the Special Meeting), tender your shares physically or electronically and submit a

15

request in writing that we redeem your Public Shares for cash to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, our transfer agent, at the following address:

Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company

One State Street Plaza, 30^th Floor

New York, New York 10004

Attn: Mark Zimkind

E-mail: mzimkind@continentalstock.com

Please also affirmatively certify in your request to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company for redemption if you “ARE” or “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 CF II Class A Common Stock. A holder of the Public Shares, together with any of its affiliate any other person with whom such holder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13d-3 of the Exchange Act) will be restricted from seeking redemption rights with respect to an aggregate of 15% or more of the Public Shares, which we refer to as the “15% threshold.” Accordingly, all Public Shares in excess of the 15% threshold beneficially owned by a public stockholder or group will not be redeemed for cash. 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 CF II’s understanding that stockholders should generally allot at least two weeks to obtain physical certificates from the transfer agent. However, CF II does 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.

Any demand for redemption, once made, may be withdrawn at any time until the deadline for exercising redemption requests and thereafter, with CF II’s consent, until the vote is taken with respect to the Business Combination. If you delivered your shares for redemption to CF II’s transfer agent and decide within the required timeframe not to exercise your redemption rights, you may request that CF II’s transfer agent return the shares (physically or electronically). You may make such request by contacting CF II’s transfer agent at the phone number or address listed under the question “Who can help answer my questions?” below.

Q: What are the federal income tax consequences of exercising my redemption rights?

A: CF II expects that a U.S. holder (as defined below) that exercises its redemption rights to receive cash from the Trust Account in exchange for its Public Shares will generally be treated as selling such Public Shares resulting in the recognition of capital gain or capital loss. There may be certain circumstances in which the redemption may be treated as a distribution for U.S. federal income tax purposes depending on the amount of Public Shares that a U.S. holder owns or is deemed to own (including through the ownership of public warrants). For a more complete discussion of the U.S. federal income tax considerations of an exercise of redemption rights, see “The Business Combination Proposal — Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations of the Redemption.”

TAX MATTERS ARE COMPLICATED, AND THE TAX CONSEQUENCES OF EXERCISING YOUR REDEMPTION RIGHTS WILL DEPEND ON THE FACTS OF YOUR OWN SITUATION. YOU SHOULD CONSULT YOUR OWN TAX ADVISOR AS TO THE SPECIFIC TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE EXERCISE OF REDEMPTION RIGHTS TO YOU IN YOUR PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES.

Q: If I am a Warrant holder, can I exercise redemption rights with respect to my Warrants?

A: No. The holders of Warrants have no redemption rights with respect to Warrants.

16

Q: If I am a Unit holder, can I exercise redemption rights with respect to my Units?

A: No. Holders of outstanding Units must separate the underlying Public Shares and Public Warrants prior to exercising redemption rights with respect to the Public Shares.

If you hold Units registered in your own name, you must deliver the certificate for such Units to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, our transfer agent, with written instructions to separate such Units into Public Shares and Public Warrants. This must be completed far enough in advance to permit the mailing of the Public Share certificates back to you so that you may then exercise your redemption rights upon the separation of the Public Shares from the Units. See “How do I exercise my redemption rights?” above. The address of Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company is listed under the question “Who can help answer my questions?” below.

If a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee holds your Units, you must instruct such nominee to separate your Units. Your nominee must send written instructions by facsimile to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, our transfer agent. Such written instructions must include the number of Units to be split and the nominee holding such Units. Your nominee must also initiate electronically, using DTC’s deposit withdrawal at custodian (DWAC) system, a withdrawal of the relevant Units and a deposit of an equal number of Public Shares and Public Warrants. This must be completed far enough in advance to permit your nominee to exercise your redemption rights upon the separation of the Public Shares from the Units. While this is typically done electronically the same business day, you should allow at least one full business day to accomplish the separation. If you fail to cause your Public Shares to be separated in a timely manner, you will likely not be able to exercise your redemption rights.

Q: Do I have appraisal rights if I object to the proposed Business Combination?

A: No. Holders of CF II Common Stock do not have appraisal rights in connection with the Business Combination Proposal or the other Proposals.

Q: What happens to the funds held in the Trust Account upon consummation of the Business Combination?

A: If the Business Combination is consummated, the funds held in the Trust Account will be released to pay:

• CF II stockholders who properly exercise their redemption rights;

• the $17,500,000 business combination marketing fee to CF&Co.;

• certain other fees, costs and expenses (including regulatory fees, legal fees, accounting fees, printer fees, and other professional fees) that were incurred by CF II or View in connection with the Business Combination and pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement;

• any loans owed by CF II to the Sponsor for any CF II transaction expenses or other administrative expenses incurred by CF II; and

• for general corporate purposes including, but not limited to, working capital for operations.

Q: What happens if the Business Combination is not consummated?

A: There are certain circumstances under which the Merger Agreement may be terminated. See the section titled “The Business Combination Proposal — The Merger Agreement” for information regarding the parties’ specific termination rights.

If, as a result of the termination of the Merger Agreement or otherwise, CF II is unable to complete the Business Combination or another initial business combination transaction by August 31, 2022 (or a later date approved by the stockholders of CF II pursuant to the Existing Charter), the Existing Charter provides

17

that CF II will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible, subject to lawfully available funds therefor, redeem 100% of the Public Shares in consideration of a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to it to pay taxes payable and up to $100,000 for dissolution expenses, by (B) the total number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish rights of the public stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemptions, subject to the approval of the remaining stockholders and the CF II Board in accordance with applicable law, dissolve and liquidate, subject (in the case of (ii) and (iii) above) to its obligations under the DGCL to provide for claims of creditors and other requirements of applicable law.

CF II expects that the amount of any distribution its public stockholders will be entitled to receive upon its dissolution will be approximately the same as the amount they would have received if they had redeemed their shares in connection with the Business Combination, subject in each case to CF II’s obligations under the DGCL to provide for claims of creditors and other requirements of applicable law. Holders of Founders Shares have waived any right to any liquidation distribution with respect to those shares.

In the event of liquidation, there will be no distribution with respect to CF II’s outstanding Warrants. Accordingly, the Warrants will expire worthless.

Q: When is the Business Combination expected to be completed?

A: The Closing is expected to take place on (a) the third business day following the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions described below under the section titled “The Business Combination Proposal — Conditions to the Closing” (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver thereof) or (b) such other date as agreed to by CF II and View in writing. The Merger Agreement may be terminated by either CF II or View if the Closing has not occurred by May 30, 2021, the six-month anniversary of the date of the Merger Agreement.

For a description of the conditions to the completion of the Business Combination, see the section titled “The Business Combination Proposal.”

Q: What do I need to do now?

A: You are urged to read carefully and consider the information contained in this proxy statement/prospectus, including the annexes, and to consider how the Business Combination will affect you as a stockholder. You should then vote as soon as possible in accordance with the instructions provided in this proxy statement/prospectus and on the enclosed proxy card or, if you hold your shares through a brokerage firm, bank or other nominee, on the voting instruction form provided by the broker, bank or nominee.

Q: How do I vote?

A: If you were a holder of record of CF II Common Stock on         , the Record Date, you may vote with respect to the Proposals in person at the Special Meeting, or by completing, signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy card in the postage-paid envelope provided. If you hold your shares in “street name,” which means your shares are held of record by a broker, bank or other nominee, you should follow the instructions provided by your broker, bank or nominee to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted. In this regard, you must provide the record holder of your shares with instructions on how to vote your shares or, if you wish to attend the Special Meeting and vote in person, obtain a proxy from your broker, bank or nominee.

18

Q: What will happen if I abstain from voting or fail to vote at the Special Meeting?

A: At the Special Meeting, CF II will count a properly executed proxy marked “ABSTAIN” with respect to a particular proposal as present for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present. Abstentions will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the Pre-Merger Charter Amendment Proposal, the Business Combination Proposal, and the Post-Merger Charter Amendment Proposals. Abstentions will have no effect on the Director Election Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal, the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan Proposal, the CEO Incentive Plan Proposal or the Adjournment Proposal. Broker non-votes will not be counted as present for the purposes of establishing a quorum and will have no effect on any of the Proposals.

Q: What will happen if I sign and return my proxy card without indicating how I wish to vote?

A: Signed and dated proxies received by CF II without an indication of how the stockholder intends to vote on a proposal will be voted “FOR” each proposal presented to the stockholders at the Special Meeting. The proxyholders may use their discretion to vote on any other matters which properly come before the Special Meeting.

Q: If I am not going to attend the Special Meeting in person, should I return my proxy card instead?

A: Yes. Whether you plan to attend the Special Meeting or not, please read the enclosed proxy statement/prospectus carefully, and vote your shares by completing, signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy card in the postage-paid envelope provided.

Q: If my shares are held in “street name,” will my broker, bank or nominee automatically vote my shares for me?

A: No. Under the rules of various national and regional securities exchanges, your broker, bank or nominee cannot vote your shares with respect to non-discretionary matters unless you provide instructions on how to vote in accordance with the information and procedures provided to you by your broker, bank or nominee. CF II believes the proposals presented to the stockholders will be considered non-discretionary and therefore your broker, bank or nominee cannot vote your shares without your instruction. Your bank, broker or other nominee can vote your shares only if you provide instructions on how to vote. You should instruct your broker to vote your shares in accordance with directions you provide.

Q: May I change my vote after I have mailed my signed proxy card?

A: Yes. You may change your vote by sending a later-dated, signed proxy card to CF II’s secretary at the address listed below so that it is received by CF II’s secretary prior to the Special Meeting or attend the Special Meeting in person and vote. You also may revoke your proxy by sending a notice of revocation to CF II’s secretary, which must be received by CF II’s secretary prior to the Special Meeting.

Q: What should I do if I receive more than one set of voting materials?

A: You 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 your vote with respect to all of your shares.

Q: Who will solicit and pay the cost of soliciting proxies?

A: CF II will pay the cost of soliciting proxies for the Special Meeting. CF II has engaged Morrow Sodali LLC, which we refer to as “Morrow,” to assist in the solicitation of proxies for the Special Meeting. CF II has

19

agreed to pay Morrow a fee of $32,500.00, plus disbursements. CF II will reimburse Morrow for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and will indemnify Morrow and its affiliates against certain claims, liabilities, losses, damages and expenses. CF II will also reimburse banks, brokers and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries representing beneficial owners of shares of CF II Common Stock for their expenses in forwarding soliciting materials to beneficial owners of the CF II Common Stock and in obtaining voting instructions from those owners. CF II’s directors, officers and employees may also solicit proxies by telephone, by facsimile, by mail, on the Internet or in person. They will not be paid any additional amounts for soliciting proxies.

The Proposals to Be Voted On by CF II Stockholders

Pre-Merger Charter Amendment Proposal

CF II stockholders will be asked to approve and adopt an amendment to the Existing Charter to increase the number of authorized shares of CF II Class A Common Stock from 100,000,000 to 400,000,000 shares for the purposes of carrying out the Business Combination. See the section titled “The Pre-Merger Charter Amendment Proposal.”

The Business Combination Proposal

CF II and View have agreed to the Business Combination under the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated November 30, 2020. This agreement, as the terms and conditions therein may be amended, modified, or waived from time to time, is referred to in this proxy statement/prospectus as the “Merger Agreement.” Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, at the Closing, Merger Sub, a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of CF II, will merge with and into View, with View continuing as the surviving entity and becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of CF II. For more information about the Merger Agreement and the Business Combination (including the Merger), see the section titled “The Business Combination Proposal.”

The Merger Agreement

On November 30, 2020, CF II, Merger Sub and View entered into the Merger Agreement.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, upon the Closing, Merger Sub will merge with and into View, whereby the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub will cease and View will be the surviving corporation of the Merger and become a wholly owned subsidiary of CF II. As a result of the Merger, (i) all outstanding shares of capital stock of View will be cancelled and View Stockholders will receive 0.02325 shares (the “Exchange Ratio”) of Class A Common Stock for each share of View capital stock held, and (ii) all outstanding options and warrants to purchase capital stock of View will be assumed by CF II and instead represent the right to acquire shares of Class A Common Stock, with the number of shares and price per share thereunder adjusted at the Closing based on the Exchange Ratio. At the Closing, CF II will amend and restate the Existing Charter to, among other matters, change its name to “View, Inc.”

Representations, Warranties and Covenants

The Merger Agreement contains customary representations and warranties of the parties, which shall not survive the Closing. Many of the representations and warranties are qualified by materiality or Company Material Adverse Effect or Acquiror Material Adverse Effect (each as defined below).

The Merger Agreement also contains pre-closing covenants of the parties, including obligations of the parties to use reasonable efforts to operate their respective businesses in the ordinary course consistent with past practice, and to refrain from taking certain specified actions without the prior written consent of the other applicable parties, in each case, subject to certain exceptions and qualifications. Additionally, View has agreed not to solicit, negotiate or enter into competing transactions, as further provided in the Merger Agreement. The covenants do not survive the Closing (other than those that are to be performed after the Closing).

22

CF II and View agreed, as promptly as practicable after the execution of the Merger Agreement, to prepare and file with the SEC this Registration Statement in connection with the registration under the Securities Act of the issuance of the Class A Common Stock to be issued to the View Stockholders, and containing a proxy statement/prospectus for the purpose of CF II soliciting proxies from the stockholders to obtain the CF II Stockholders’ Approval at the Special Meeting and providing such stockholders an opportunity, in accordance with the CF II Governing Documents and IPO prospectus, to have their shares of Class A Common Stock redeemed.

CF II agreed to take all necessary action, so that effective at the Closing, the Combined Entity Board will consist of seven individuals, a majority of whom shall be independent directors in accordance with Nasdaq requirements, and at least one of whom will be appointed by SVF Excalibur (Cayman) Limited, and the executive officers of the Combined Entity will be the executive officers of View immediately prior to the Closing.

CF II’s Reasons for the Business Combination

CF II was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. CF II sought to do this by utilizing the networks and industry experience of both its management team and its board of directors to identify, acquire and, after its initial business combination, help to build a company in an industry that complements the experience and expertise of its management team.

In evaluating and approving the Business Combination, the CF II Board considered a wide variety of factors. In light of the complexity of those factors, the CF II Board, as a whole, did not consider it practicable to, nor did it attempt to, quantify or otherwise assign relative weights to the specific factors it took into account in reaching its decision. Individual members of the CF II Board may have given different weight to different factors.

Based on its review of the industry data and the operational, financial and other relevant information related to the View business provided by View and presented to the CF II Board, the factors considered by the CF II Board included, but were not limited to, the following:

• View’s Leadership Position in the Smart Glass Industry. According to View and the report prepared by the consulting firm engaged by CF II, View is currently the leader in the smart glass industry, with a market share of over 80%.

• Large and Growing Addressable Market. According to the report provided by the consulting firm, the total addressable North American market of glass installation is currently 1.8–2.1 billion square feet,

24

which is expected to grow to 2.0–2.5 billion square feet in 2025, and the total addressable global market is 7-8x the size of the North American market. As the smart glass industry continues to gain acceptance in the marketplace, this industry has the potential to gain substantial market share in the glass market. As the market leader in the smart glass industry, View has the opportunity to benefit from this trend.

• Growth Potential of View’s Business. View has the potential for revenues to accelerate quickly as the smart glass industry gains wider acceptance in the marketplace.

• Relationships with a Broad, Diverse and Growing Customer Base. View has developed strong relationships with all members of the construction ecosystem including owners, developers, architects, general contractors, glaziers and low voltage electricians.

• Strategic Partnerships Expanding View’s Ability to Reach and Provide Financing Options to New Customers. Pursuant to the Newmark Real Estate Services Contract, View will be able to leverage Newmark’s relationships with building owners and property developers in order to expand and grow its customer base, and, pursuant to the Cantor Financing Assistance Contract, View will be able to expand its sales channels to provide customers the opportunity to finance View’s products.

• Experienced Management Team. Following completion of the Business Combination, View will continue to be led by the same senior management team as prior to the Business Combination, which management team has built a technological advantage to position View to benefit as the real estate industry more widely adopts smart glass.

• Green Certified and ESG. The PIPE Investment and future debt offerings by View have been green certified with a Second Party Opinion (SPO) performed by Sustainalytics, a Morningstar company. In addition, strong secular tailwinds of climate change, human health and smart buildings may drive demand for View’s smart windows. Environmental, social and governance initiatives and growing government regulations require buildings to retrofit and become energy efficient and net-zero-energy dwellings and View’s products have the opportunity to benefit from these trends.

• Attractive Valuation. The CF II Board’s determination that if View is able to meet its financial projections, then CF II’s stockholders will have acquired their shares in the Combined Entity at an attractive valuation which would increase shareholder value.

• Other Alternatives. The CF II Board’s belief, after a thorough review of other business combination opportunities reasonably available to CF II, that the Business Combination represents an attractive potential business combination for CF II.

• Terms and Conditions of the Merger Agreement. The terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Business Combination, were, in the opinion of the CF II Board, the product of arm’s-length negotiations between the parties.

• Continued Ownership by Existing Holders of View Capital Stock. The CF II Board considered that the existing holders of View will (i) continue to be significant shareholders of the Combined Entity, (ii) are not receiving any cash proceeds from the Business Combination and (iii) are investing an additional $162.8 million as part of the PIPE Investment.

• Involvement of the PIPE Investors. The CF II Board considered that the agreement of the investors in the PIPE Investment, including the Sponsor, existing stockholders of View and new investors in the PIPE Investment, to invest $300.0 million in the Combined Entity at Closing at $10.00 per share was a validation of View’s business and future prospects.

• View Being an Attractive Target. The CF II Board considered the fact that View (i) is of a sufficient size relevant to the public marketplace, (ii) has an experienced existing management team, (iii) has a

25

significant total addressable market and growth expansion opportunities, and (iv) would benefit from the consummation of the Business Combination by becoming a public company, which the CF II Board believed, together with the Newmark Real Estate Services Contract and the Cantor Financing Assistance Contract, would improve View’s ability to grow and meet its business plan.

In the course of its deliberations, in addition to the various other risks associated with the business of View, as described in the section titled “Risk Factors” appearing elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus, the CF II Board also considered a variety of uncertainties, risks and other potentially negative reasons relevant to the Business Combination, including the following:

• Macroeconomic Risks Generally. Macroeconomic uncertainty, including the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the effects they could have on the Combined Entity’s revenues and financial performance.

• Macroeconomic Risks in the Commercial Real Estate Market. View’s ability to meet its business plan and projections is tied to the performance of the commercial real estate market generally and such market’s adoption and utilization of smart glass in new construction and/or renovation, including the current uncertainty as a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, which could negatively affect the Combined Entity’s revenues and financial performance.

• Business Plan and Projections May Not Be Achieved. The risk that View may not be able to execute on its business plan, and realize the financial performance as set forth in the financial projections presented to management of CF II and the CF II Board, including the fact that View has previously missed its financial projections.

• Benefits May Not Be Achieved. The risk that the potential benefits of the Newmark Real Estate Services Contract and the Cantor Financing Assistance Contract may not be fully achieved or may not be achieved at all within the expected timeframe.

• Dilution from the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan and the CEO Incentive Plan. Pursuant to the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan, up to 58,631,907 shares of CF II Common Stock will be available for issuance by the Combined Entity after Closing. As further described herein, certain executives of View are being granted RSUs and stock options pursuant to the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan at Closing, which RSUs and stock options include both time and performance-based vesting. In addition, pursuant to the CEO Incentive Plan as further described herein, at Closing, the CEO of the Combined Entity will be issued stock options to purchase up to 25,000,000 shares of CF II Common Stock based on the Combined Entity achieving certain stock price based milestones. The vesting and issuance of this CF II Common Stock could substantially dilute the ownership of the Combined Entity by the holders of CF II Common Stock as of the Closing.

• Expiration of Lock-ups. The CF II Common Stock issued to the investors in the PIPE Investment are not subject to any lock-up, and the Combined Entity is required to register such shares of CF II Common Stock promptly after Closing. The CF II Common Stock issued to certain of the stockholders of View are subject to a six-month lock-up. Upon the expiration of any such lock-ups and upon the registration of such shares of CF II Common Stock, a substantial number of shares of CF II Common Stock may become available for sale, which could have a negative impact on the Combined Entity’s stock price.

• No Third-Party Valuation. The risk that CF II did not obtain a third-party valuation or fairness opinion in connection with the Business Combination.

• Liquidation. The risks and costs to CF II if the Business Combination is not completed, including the risk of diverting management focus and resources from other businesses combination opportunities, which could result in CF II being unable to effect a business combination within the completion window which would require CF II to liquidate.

26

• Stockholder Vote. The risk that CF II’s stockholders may object to and challenge the Business Combination and take action that may prevent or delay the Closing, including to vote down the Proposals at the special meeting or redeem their shares of CF II Class A Common Stock.

• Closing Conditions. The fact that completion of the Business Combination is conditioned on the satisfaction of certain closing conditions that are not within CF II’s control.

• CF II Stockholders Holding a Minority Position in the Post-Combination Company. The risk that CF II stockholders will hold a minority position in the Combined Entity following completion of the Business Combination, with existing stockholders of CF II (excluding the Sponsor and purchasers in the PIPE Investment) owning approximately 23.3% of the Combined Entity after Closing, assuming that no shares of CF II Class A Common Stock are redeemed by CF II stockholders and excluding shares of Common Stock underlying warrants.

• Litigation. The possibility of litigation challenging the Business Combination or that an adverse judgment granting permanent injunctive relief could indefinitely enjoin consummation of the Business Combination.

• Fees and Expenses. The fees and expenses associated with completing the Business Combination.

• Redemptions. The risk that current CF II public stockholders would exercise their redemption rights, thereby depleting the amount of cash available in the Trust Account.

• Nasdaq Listing. The potential inability to maintain the listing of CF II’s securities on Nasdaq following the Closing.

• Valuation. The risk that the CF II Board may not have properly valued View’s business.

• Distraction to Operations. The risk that the potential diversion of View’s management and employee attention as a result of the Business Combination may adversely affect View’s operations.

• Readiness to be a Public Company. View has identified certain material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting, as further described herein, and, as View has not previously been a public company, View may not have the employees necessary for it to properly prepare timely and accurate reports for filing with the SEC. There is a risk that View will not be able to hire the right people to fill in these gaps by the time of the Closing or that additional issues could arise after the Closing due to its failure to have hired these people in advance of Closing.

In addition to considering the factors described above, the CF II Board also considered that:

• Interests of Certain Persons. The Sponsor and certain officers and directors of CF II may have interests in the Business Combination as individuals that are in addition to, and that may be different from, the interests of CF II’s stockholders (see section titled “The Business Combination Proposal — Interests of the Sponsor and CF II’s Directors and Officers in the Business Combination”). CF II’s independent directors on the CF II Audit Committee reviewed and considered these interests during the negotiation of the Business Combination and in evaluating and unanimously approving, as members of the CF II Audit Committee, the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated therein.

After considering the foregoing, the CF II Board concluded, in its business judgment, that the potential benefits to CF II and its stockholders relating to the Business Combination outweighed the potentially negative factors and risks relating to the Business Combination.

Related Agreements

Stockholder Voting Agreement

Contemporaneously with the execution of the Merger Agreement, CF II and certain View Stockholders entered into a Stockholder Voting Agreement, pursuant to which, among other things, certain View Stockholders agreed (i) not to transfer and to vote their shares of View Capital Stock in favor of the Merger Agreement (including by execution of a written consent) and the Business Combination (including the Merger); (ii) to consent to the termination of certain stockholder agreements with View, effective at Closing; and (iii) to release the Sponsor, CF II, View and its subsidiaries from all pre-Closing claims, subject to customary exceptions. The View Stockholders party to the Stockholder Voting Agreement collectively have a sufficient number of votes to approve the Merger.

The Stockholder Voting Agreement and all of its provisions will terminate and be of no further force or effect upon the earlier of the Closing and termination of the Merger Agreement pursuant to its terms. Upon such termination of the Stockholder Voting Agreement, all obligations of the parties under the Stockholder Voting Agreement will terminate; provided, however, that such termination will not relieve any party thereto from liability arising in respect of any breach of the Stockholder Voting Agreement prior to such termination.

Sponsor Support Agreement

Contemporaneously with the execution of the Merger Agreement, CF II entered into a Sponsor Support Agreement with the Sponsor and View, pursuant to which, among other things: (i) for the benefit of View, the Sponsor has agreed to comply with its obligations under the letter agreement, dated as of August 26, 2020 (the “Insider Letter”), by and among CF II, the Sponsor and certain officers and directors of CF II to not transfer, to not participate in the Redemption and to vote its shares of CF II Common Stock in favor of the Merger Agreement and the Business Combination (including the Merger), and CF II agreed to enforce such provisions, and CF II and the Sponsor provided View with certain consent rights with respect to transfers of CF II Common Stock owned by the Sponsor and amendments, modifications or waivers under the Insider Letter, (ii) to waive its anti-dilution rights with respect to its shares of Class B Common Stock under the Existing Charter, (iii) to release CF II, View, Merger Sub and their respective subsidiaries effective as of the Closing from all pre-Closing claims, subject to customary exceptions and (iv) the Sponsor subjected 4,970,000 of its shares of Class B Common Stock (the “Sponsor Earn-Out Shares”) to vesting and potential forfeiture (and related transfer restrictions) after the Closing based on a five year post-Closing earnout, with (a) 50% of the Sponsor Earn-Out Shares being released if the stock price of Class A Common Stock exceeds $12.50 for 5 out of any 10 trading days, (b) 25% of the Sponsor Earn-Out Shares being released if the stock price of Class A Common Stock exceeds $15.00 for 5 out of any 10 trading days and (c) 25% of the Sponsor Earn-Out Shares being released if the stock price of Class A Common Stock exceeds $20.00 for 5 out of any 10 trading days, in each case, subject to early release for a Combined Entity sale, change of control or going private transaction or delisting after the Closing.

The Sponsor Support Agreement and all of its provisions will terminate and be of no further force or effect upon the termination of the Merger Agreement pursuant to its terms.

Registration Rights Agreement

Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, CF II and certain View Stockholders (each an “Investor”) entered into a Registration Rights Agreement, which shall be effective at the Closing. Pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, CF II will be obligated to file one or more registration statements to register the resale of Class A Common Stock held by such Investors after the Closing. Investors holding at least 25% of the registrable securities owned by all Investors are entitled under the Registration Rights Agreement to make a written demand for registration under the Securities Act of all or part of their registrable securities, up to

28

a total of three such demands. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement and subject to certain requirements and customary conditions, such Investors may demand at any time or from time to time, that CF II file a registration statement on Form S-3 (or any similar short-form registration which may be available at such time) to register the resale of the registrable securities of CF II held by such Investors. The Registration Rights Agreement will also provide such Investors with “piggy-back” registration rights, subject to certain requirements and customary conditions.

Under the Registration Rights Agreement, CF II agreed to indemnify such Investors and certain persons or entities related to such Investors such as their officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives against any losses or damages resulting from any untrue statement or omission of a material fact in any registration statement or prospectus pursuant to which the Investors sell their registrable securities, unless such liability arose from such Investors’ misstatement or omission, and the Investors including registrable securities in any registration statement or prospectus agreed to indemnify CF II and certain persons or entities related to CF II such as its officers and directors and underwriters against all losses caused by their misstatements or omissions in those documents.

Lock-Up Agreement

Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, CF II and View entered into separate Lock-Up Agreements with a number of View Stockholders, pursuant to which the CF II Common Stock held by such View Stockholders will be locked-up and subject to transfer restrictions for a period of time following the Closing, as described below, subject to certain exceptions. The CF II securities held by such View Stockholders will be locked-up until the earlier of: (i) six (6) months after the Closing, or (ii) the date after the Closing on which CF II consummates a liquidation, merger, share exchange, reorganization, tender offer or other similar transaction after the Closing which results in all of CF II’s stockholders having the right to exchange their equity holdings in CF II for cash, securities or other property.

PIPE Subscription Agreements

Contemporaneously with the execution of the Merger Agreement, CF II entered into separate Subscription Agreements (the “PIPE Subscription Agreements”) with a number of subscribers (each a “Subscriber”), including the Sponsor and certain View Stockholders, pursuant to which the Subscribers agreed to purchase, and CF II agreed to sell to the Subscribers, an aggregate of up to 30,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock (the “PIPE Shares”), for a purchase price of $10.00 per share and an aggregate purchase price of $300,000,000 (the “PIPE Investments”) , with the Sponsor’s PIPE Subscription Agreement accounting for $50.0 million of such aggregate investment. The PIPE Subscription Agreements permit Subscribers that are not View Stockholders or affiliates of CF II prior to the Closing to offset and reduce the number of PIPE Shares that they are required to purchase at the Closing by acquiring shares of Class A Common Stock in the open market or private transactions and not redeeming such shares in the Redemption.

The closing of the sale of the PIPE Shares pursuant to the PIPE Subscription Agreements is contingent upon, among other customary closing conditions, the substantially concurrent Closing. Upon notice from CF II to the Subscribers that CF II reasonably expects all closing conditions of the Business Combination to be satisfied or waived, the Subscribers will have no less than five business days to fund their committed investment. The closing of the PIPE Investment shall occur on the date of, and immediately prior to, the consummation of the Business Combination. The purpose of the PIPE Investments is to raise additional capital for use by View following the Closing.

Pursuant to the PIPE Subscription Agreements, CF II agreed that, within 30 calendar days after the Closing, CF II will file with the SEC (at CF II’s sole cost and expense) a registration statement registering the resale of the

29

PIPE Shares, and CF II shall use its reasonable efforts to have such registration statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof, but no later than the earlier of (i) the 90th calendar day (or 120th calendar day if the SEC notifies CF II that it will “review” the registration statement) following the Closing and (ii) the 10th business day after the date CF II is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the SEC that the registration statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review.

Other Agreements between CF’s Affiliates and View

Cantor Financing Assistance Contract

Cantor, an affiliate of Sponsor, entered into an agreement with View on November 30, 2020 (the “Cantor Financing Assistance Contract”), pursuant to which, among other things, Cantor has the right to enter into certain transactions with View in order to finance its products or services. Under this agreement, Cantor, directly or through its affiliates, has a “last look” right to match the substantive terms of any financing for the purchase, lease or rental of View’s products or services arranged by View with a third party. In addition, pursuant to this agreement, (i) Cantor intends to establish one or more financing entities (each, a “FinanceCo”) together with View, to support the purchase and sale of View’s products and services, and (ii) FinanceCos will have the right to purchase View’s products at a certain discount to the then actual selling price for comparably featured orders.

Newmark Real Estate Services Contract

Newmark & Company Real Estate, Inc., a New York corporation and an affiliate of Sponsor (“Newmark”), entered into a service agreement with View on November 30, 2020, as amended on December 19, 2020 (as so amended, the “Newmark Real Estate Services Contract”), pursuant to which, among other things, View appointed Newmark as its exclusive provider of real estate services and commissioned house agent for referrals of sales of View products or services installed in buildings in North America (other than certain verticals and customers, and subject to certain other exceptions). Newmark will be entitled to the commissions established in the Newmark Real Estate Services Contract from sales of products and services made by View in such markets, and Newmark will receive commissions on its referrals that are no less than the commissions granted to other referring parties. Unless mutually terminated by the parties or in connection with the termination of the Merger Agreement, the Newmark Real Estate Services Contract shall remain in force until November 30, 2027.

Transaction Structure and Organizational Structures Prior to and Following the Consummation of the Business Combination

The following diagram illustrates the transaction structure of the Business Combination and the organizational structure of the parties thereto prior to Closing.

30

Key steps involved in the Merger:

1. CF II will issue shares of its common stock to holders of View Capital Stock and holders of View Capital Stock will cancel their shares of View Capital Stock.

2. Merger Sub will merge into and with View, Inc. (to be renamed View Operating Cooperation upon Closing).

31

The diagram below illustrates the organizational structure of the Combined Entity (which will be renamed View, Inc. upon the consummation of the Business Combination).

Ownership of the Combined Entity following Business Combination

It is anticipated that, upon the completion of the Business Combination:

• CF II’s public stockholders (other than the PIPE Investment investors) will retain an ownership interest of 23.0% of the Combined Entity;

• the PIPE Investment investors (other than the Sponsor and holders of View Capital Stock) will own 4.0% of the Combined Entity;

• the Sponsor, the other initial stockholders and their affiliates, through their ownership of Founder Shares, Placement Units and the purchase by the Sponsor of CF II Class A Common Stock in the PIPE Investment and the issuance of Class A Common Stock to CF&Co. in consideration of its M&A fee, will retain an ownership interest of 8.9% of the Combined Entity; and

• the holders of View Capital Stock (including their shares of CF II Class A Common Stock purchased in in the PIPE Investment will own 64.1% of the Combined Entity.

32

The ownership percentage with respect to the Combined Entity following the Business Combination is based upon the number of shares of View Capital Stock issued and outstanding as of December 18, 2020, but does not take into account (i) the redemption of any shares by CF II’s public stockholders, (ii) the exercise of the Warrants, or any assumed warrants, outstanding following the Business Combination, or (iii) the exercise of any Options or other securities under any incentive plans, including any assumed options or securities provided for in connection with the CEO Incentive Plan and the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan, outstanding following the Business Combination. If the actual facts are different than these assumptions (which they are likely to be), the percentage ownership set forth above will be different.

The Director Election Proposal

CF II stockholders will be asked to approve the election of seven directors to serve on the Combined Entity Board until the next annual meeting of stockholders and until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified. Please see the section titled “The Director Election Proposal.”

The Nasdaq Proposal

The issuance of shares of CF II Class A Common Stock to the View Stockholders in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination will exceed 20% of CF II’s issued and outstanding Common Stock. To comply with the Nasdaq Listing Rules applicable to CF II, stockholders are being asked to approve the issuance of the CF II Class A Common Stock to View Stockholders pursuant to the Merger Agreement. Please see the section titled “The Nasdaq Proposal.”

The Post-Merger Charter Amendment Proposals

CF II stockholders will be asked to approve and adopt an amendment and restatement of the Existing Charter, as set out in the Amended Charter appended to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex C. Please see the section titled “The Post-Merger Charter Amendment Proposals.”

The 2021 Equity Incentive Plan Proposal

CF II is proposing that its stockholders approve and adopt the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan, which will become effective upon the Closing of the Business Combination and the grant of officer earnout awards thereunder as contemplated by the Merger Agreement. A summary of the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan is set forth in the “The 2021 Equity Incentive Plan Proposal” section of this proxy statement/prospectus and a complete copy of the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan is attached hereto as Annex E.

The CEO Incentive Plan Proposal

CF II is proposing that its stockholders approve and adopt the CEO Incentive Plan, which will become effective upon the Closing of the Business Combination. A summary of the CEO Incentive Plan is set forth in the “The CEO Incentive Plan Proposal” section of this proxy statement/prospectus and a complete copy of the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan is attached hereto as Annex F.

The Adjournment Proposal

CF II stockholders will be asked to consider and vote upon a proposal to adjourn the Special Meeting to a later date or dates if, based upon the tabulated vote at the time of the Special Meeting, there are not sufficient votes to approve the Pre-Merger Charter Amendment Proposal, the Business Combination Proposal, the Director Election Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal, the Post-Merger Charter Amendment Proposals, the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan Proposal, or the CEO Incentive Plan Proposal. Please see the section titled “The Adjournment Proposal.”

33

Date, Time and Place of Special Meeting

The Special Meeting will be held at                Eastern time, on                as a virtual meeting. The meeting will be held virtually over the internet by means of a live audio webcast. You will be able to attend, vote your shares and submit questions during the Special Meeting via a live webcast available at                 .

Record Date; Outstanding Shares and Public Warrants; Stockholders and Warrant Holders Entitled to Vote

CF II has fixed the close of business on                 , as the Record Date for determining the CF II stockholders entitled to notice of and to attend and vote at the Special Meeting.

As of the close of business on the Record Date there were 63,600,000 shares of CF II Common Stock outstanding and entitled to vote, consisting of 50,000,000 Public Shares, 12,500,000 Founder Shares and 1,100,000 shares of CF II Class A Common Stock underlying the Placement Units. Each share of CF II Common Stock is entitled to one vote per share at the Special Meeting. The Sponsor and CF II’s officers and directors own 12,500,000 Founder Shares and 1,100,000 Placement Units.

Quorum and Required Vote for Stockholder Proposals

A quorum of CF II stockholders is necessary to hold a valid meeting. A quorum will be present at the Special Meeting if a majority of the CF II Common Stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting is represented in person or by proxy at the Special Meeting. Abstentions will count as present for the purposes of establishing a quorum. Broker non-votes will not be counted for purposes of establishing a quorum.

The approval of the Pre-Merger Charter Amendment Proposal, the Business Combination Proposal and the Post-Merger Charter Amendment Proposals requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the issued and outstanding CF II Common Stock as of the Record Date. Accordingly, a CF II stockholder’s failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person at the Special Meeting or an abstention will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the Pre-Merger Charter Amendment Proposal, the Business Combination Proposal and the Post-Merger Charter Amendment Proposals.

The approval of the election of each director nominee pursuant to the Director Election Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a plurality of the shares of CF II Common Stock represented in person or by proxy and voted thereon at the Special Meeting. The approval of the Nasdaq Proposal, the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan Proposal, the CEO Incentive Plan Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal each require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of CF II Common Stock cast by the stockholders represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon at the Special Meeting. A CF II stockholder’s failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person at the Special Meeting or an abstention will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on the Director Election Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal, the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan Proposal, the CEO Incentive Plan Proposal and Adjournment Proposal.

The Business Combination Proposal is subject to and conditioned upon the approval of the Pre-Merger Charter Amendment Proposal. Unless the Pre-Merger Charter Amendment Proposal is approved, the Business Combination Proposal will not be presented to the stockholders of CF II at the Special Meeting. The Director Election Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal, the Post-Merger Charter Amendment Proposals, the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan Proposal and the CEO Incentive Plan Proposal are subject to and conditioned on the approval of the Pre-Merger Charter Amendment Proposal and the Business Combination Proposal. Unless the Pre-Merger Charter Amendment Proposal and the Business Combination Proposal are approved, the Director Election Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal, the Post-Merger

34

Charter Amendment Proposals, the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan Proposal, and the CEO Incentive Plan Proposal will not be presented to the stockholders of CF II at the Special Meeting. The Business Combination Proposal is also subject to and conditioned on the approval of the Director Election Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal, the Post-Merger Charter Amendment Proposals, the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan Proposal, and the CEO Incentive Plan Proposal. The Adjournment Proposal is not conditioned on the approval of any other Proposal set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus. It is important for you to note that in the event that the Business Combination Proposal or any of the other Proposals (except for the Adjournment Proposal) does not receive the requisite vote for approval, we will not then consummate the Business Combination. If CF II does not consummate the Business Combination and fails to complete an initial business combination by August 31, 2022 (or a later date approved by the stockholders of CF II pursuant to the Existing Charter), CF II will be required to dissolve and liquidate its Trust Account by returning the then remaining funds in such account to its public stockholders in accordance with the Existing Charter, subject to payment of CF II’s tax obligations and up to $100,000 of dissolution expenses.

Proxy Solicitation

Proxies may be solicited by telephone, by facsimile, by mail, on the Internet or in person. We have engaged Morrow to assist in the solicitation of proxies. If a stockholder grants a proxy, it may still vote its shares in person if it revokes its proxy before the Special Meeting. A stockholder may also change its vote by submitting a later-dated proxy, as described in the section titled “Special Meeting of CF II Stockholders — Revoking Your Proxy.”

Redemption Rights

Under the Existing Charter, holders of CF II Class A Common Stock may elect to have their shares redeemed for cash at the applicable redemption price per share equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (a) the aggregate amount on deposit in the Trust Account as of two (2) business days prior to the Closing, including interest (which interest shall be net of taxes payable), by (b) the total number of the then-issued and outstanding shares of CF II Class A Common Stock; provided that CF II will not redeem any public shares to the extent that such redemption would result in CF II having net tangible assets (as determined in accordance with Rule 3a51-1(g)(1) of the Exchange Act) of less than $5,000,001. As of December 18, 2020, this would have amounted to approximately $10.00 per share. Holders of CF II Class A Common Stock on or before              (two business before the Special Meeting) may exercise redemption rights whether or not they are holders as of the Record Date and whether or not such shares are voted at the Special Meeting. However, under the Existing Charter, in connection with an initial business combination, a public stockholder, together with any affiliate or any other person with whom such stockholder is acting in concert of as a “group” (as defined under Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), is restricted from seeking redemption rights with respect to more than 15% of the Public Shares.

If a holder exercises its redemption rights, then such holder will be exchanging its shares of CF II Class A Common Stock for cash and will no longer own shares of CF II Class A Common Stock and will not participate in the future growth of CF II or the Combined Entity, if any. Such a holder will be entitled to receive cash for its Public Shares only if it properly demands redemption and delivers its shares (either physically or electronically) to CF II’s transfer agent in accordance with the procedures described herein. See the section titled “Special Meeting of CF II Stockholders — Redemption Rights” for the procedures to be followed if you wish to redeem your shares for cash. A stockholder holding both Public Shares and Public Warrants may redeem its Public Shares but retain the Public Warrants, which if the Business Combination closes, will become Warrants of the Combined Entity.

Interests of the Sponsor and CF II’s Directors, Officers and Affiliates in the Business Combination

The Sponsor and CF II’s directors, officers and affiliate have interests in the Business Combination that are different from or in addition to (and which may conflict with) the interests of CF II’s stockholders. These interests include, among other things:

• unless CF II consummates an initial business combination, CF II’s officers and directors and the Sponsor will not receive reimbursement for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them on behalf of CF II to the extent that such expenses exceed the amount of available proceeds not deposited in the Trust Account;

• the Placement Units, including the Placement Shares, and Placement Warrants, purchased by the Sponsor will be worthless if a business combination is not consummated;

• the Sponsor has agreed that the Placement Units, and all of their underlying securities, will not be sold or transferred by it until 30 days after CF II has completed a business combination, subject to limited exceptions;

• the fact that Sponsor paid an aggregate of $25,000 for its Founders Shares and such securities will have a significantly higher value at the time of the Business Combination;

• the fact that Sponsor has agreed not to redeem any of the Founders Shares or Placement Shares in connection with a stockholder vote to approve a proposed initial business combination;

• if CF II does not complete an initial business combination by August 31, 2022 (or a later date approved by the stockholders of CF II pursuant to the Existing Charter), the proceeds from the sale of the Placement Units will be included in the liquidating distribution to CF II’s public stockholders and the Placement Warrants will expire worthless;

• the fact that upon completion of the Business Combination, an aggregate amount of $17.5 million in business combination marketing fees, $7.5 million of M&A advisory fees payable in shares of CF II Common Stock and $1.5 million of placement agent fees will be payable to CF&Co., an affiliate of CF II and the Sponsor;

• if the Trust Account is liquidated, including in the event CF II is unable to complete an initial business combination within the required time period, the Sponsor has agreed to indemnify CF II to ensure that the proceeds in the Trust Account are not reduced below $10.00 per Public Share by the claims of prospective target businesses with which CF II has entered into an acquisition agreement or claims of any third party for services rendered or products sold to CF II, 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 fact that the Sponsor and CF II’s officers and directors will lose their entire investment in CF II, including loans in the aggregate amount of $160,000 as of November 30, 2020, if an initial business combination is not completed;

• the fact that CF II’s independent directors own 30,000 Founder Shares that were transferred by the Sponsor at no cost, which if unrestricted and freely tradeable would be valued at $336,000, based on the closing price of Class A Common Stock on December 21, 2020;

• CF Securities, an affiliate of CF II and the Sponsor, has entered into an engagement letter with the finance provider pursuant to View’s revolving debt facility pursuant to which CF Securities will receive a fee in the event of reductions in the principal amount under such revolving debt facility (subject to the conditions set forth therein);

• Cantor, an affiliate of Sponsor, has entered into a financing assistance contract with View, pursuant to which Cantor intends to establish one or more financing entities together with View to support the purchase and sale of View’s products and services, and such financing entities will have the right to purchase View’s products at a discount to the then actual selling price for comparably featured orders;

36

• View appointed Newmark (as defined herein), an affiliate of the Sponsor, as its exclusive provider of real estate services and commissioned house agent for referrals of sales of View products or services installed in buildings in North America (other than certain verticals and customers, and subject to certain other exceptions) and Newmark will be entitled to commissions in respect of such sales and will also receive commissions on its referrals that are no less than the commissions granted to other referring parties; and

• the fact that CF II’s officers and directors will be eligible for continued indemnification and continued coverage under a directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy after the business combination and pursuant to the Merger Agreement.

These interests may influence CF II’s officers and directors in making their recommendation with regard to CF II stockholders’ vote on the Proposals.

Interests of View’s Directors and Officers in the Business Combination

In considering the recommendation of the CF II Board to vote in favor of the approval of the Business Combination Proposal, the Post-Merger Charter Amendment Proposals and other proposals, you should keep in mind that certain members of the Combined Entity Board and executive officers of View have interests in such proposals that are different from, or in addition to, those of CF II’s stockholders and of View’s stockholders generally. In particular:

• Continuing Officers and Directors. Certain of View’s directors and executive officers are expected to become directors and/or executive officers of the Combined Entity upon the completion of the Business Combination. Specifically, the following individuals who are currently executive officers of View are expected to become executive officers of the Combined Entity upon the completion of the Business Combination, serving in the offices set forth opposite their names below:

The treatment of such stock options in connection with the Business Combination is described in “Business Combination Proposal — Treatment of View Equity Awards.” Certain of View’s executive officers also hold shares of View Common Stock. The holdings of View stock options and shares of View Common Stock by View’s executive officers and non-employee directors as of December 18, 2020, prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, are set forth in the tables below:

Upon the consummation of the Business Combination the above stock options and shares held by View’s executive officers and non-employee directors shall be converted into stock options and shares of the Combined Entity by multiplying each option and the Exchange Ratio. The exercise price of each stock option will also be converted by dividing the exercise price of each stock option by the Exchange Ratio.

• Officer Equity Grants Under the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan. It is anticipated that on the Closing Date, the executive officers of View will be granted performance-based restricted stock units for shares of Class A Common Stock (“Officer RSUs”) and options to purchase Class A Common Stock under the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (“Officer Options”) in the amounts set forth next to each executive officer’s name in the table below. In connection with the Business Combination, CF II will adopt the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan in order to provide for the grant of various forms of equity grants. The 2021 Equity Incentive Plan was adopted by the CF II Board and is subject to approval by its stockholders. For additional information about the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan, see “2021 Equity Incentive Plan Proposal.”

Officer RSUs

The Officer RSUs will be subject to the following time- and performance-based vesting conditions. Each Executive Officer’s award of Officer RSUs will time-vest over a four (4) year period beginning on the Closing, and each such award of Officer RSUs will performance-vest if the following conditions are met during such period: (i) fifty percent (50%) of each award of Officer RSUs if the average closing stock price of shares of Class A Common Stock shall equal or exceed $15.00 over a sixty (60) trading day period at any time during the vesting period; and (ii) one hundred percent (100%) of each award of Officer RSUs will be deemed earned if the average closing stock price of shares of Class A Common Stock shall equal or exceed $20.00 over a sixty (60) trading day period at any time during the vesting period. If the $15 hurdle has not been met within four (4) years of the Closing Date, one hundred percent (100%) of the Officer RSUs will be forfeited and returned to the 2021 Plan. If the $15 hurdle has been met but not the $20 hurdle within four (4) years of the Closing Date, fifty percent (50%) of the Officer RSUs will be forfeited and returned to the 2021 Plan. It is intended that the vesting of each award of Officer RSUs will be subject to the Executive Officer’s continued employment with CF II through each applicable vesting date. For further details about the Officer RSUs, see “2021 Equity Incentive Plan Proposal — New Plan Benefits.”

Officer Options

The Officer Options will vest over four years, subject to the Executive Officer’s continued employment through each vesting date. For further details about the Officer Options, see “2021 Equity Incentive Plan Proposal — New Plan Benefits.”

• CEO Incentive Plan. In connection with the Business Combination, CF II will adopt the 2021 Chief Executive Officer Equity Incentive Plan (“CEO Incentive Plan”) in order to provide for the grant of a performance-based nonstatutory stock option award to Dr. Mulpuri. The CEO Incentive Plan was adopted by the CF II Board and is subject to approval by its stockholders. For additional information about the CEO Incentive Plan, see “2021 Chief Executive Officer Equity Incentive Plan Proposal.”

39

CEO Option Award

It is anticipated that on the Closing Date, Dr. Mulpuri will receive an option to purchase 25,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock under the CEO Incentive Plan (the “CEO Option Award”), which will vest and become exercisable upon satisfaction of the performance conditions set forth in the table below, contingent upon Dr. Mulpuri’s continued employment as Chief Executive Officer or as Executive Chairman of the Combined Entity on each such vesting date. If Dr. Mulpuri is still employed by the Combined Entity in a role other than the specified roles above, the option shares will no longer be able to vest under the option award, but Dr. Mulpuri can continue to hold unexercised vested option shares for the full term of the CEO Option Award.

Tranche	Option Shares (#)		Average Trading Price per Share of the Combined Entity ($)*
1		2,500,000		20.00

* Based on a 60-calendar day trailing average.

The vested and unexercised portion of the CEO Option Award will remain exercisable through its expiration date. For further details about the CEO Option Award, see “CEO Incentive Plan Proposal — New Plan Benefits.”

• View previously entered into employment agreements with its executive officers, which, in each case, will remain in effect after the Business Combination and which provide for severance benefits in the event an executive’s employment is terminated by View without Cause or the executive resigns for Good Reason as of, or within the 13-month period following, a Change in Control (as defined in the 2018 Plan (as defined below) and which does not include the Business Combination). Such severance benefits consist of (i) a payment equal to 100% of the executive’s base salary, (ii) an amount equal to the executive’s target bonus opportunity, (iii) up to 12 months of company-paid COBRA premiums and (iv) accelerated vesting of 100% of the executive’s outstanding options, subject to the executive signing and not revoking View’s then-standard separation agreement and release of claims. Dr. Mulpuri’s employment agreement also provides severance benefits in the event his employment is terminated by View without Cause or he resigns for Good Reason prior to a Change in Control. For further details, see “Executive and Director Compensation — Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control.”

• The continued indemnification of current directors and officers of View and the continuation of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance after the Business Combination.

Recommendation to Stockholders

The CF II Board believes that the Proposals to be presented at the Special Meeting are in the best interests of CF II and its stockholders and unanimously recommends that CF II stockholders vote “FOR” each of the Proposals.

40

For more information about the CF II Board’s recommendation and the proposals, see the sections titled “Special Meeting of CF II Stockholders — Recommendation of the CF II Board” beginning on page 116 and “The Business Combination Proposal — CF II Board’s Reasons for Approval of the Business Combination” beginning on page 141.

Appraisal Rights

Holders of CF II Common Stock do not have appraisal rights in connection with the Business Combination Proposal or the other Proposals.

Sources and Uses of Funds for the Business Combination

The following table summarizes the sources and uses for funding the Business Combination. These figures assume that no public stockholders exercise their redemption rights in connection with the Business Combination.

Cash and investments held in Trust Account(1)	$	500.0M	Payment of debt	$	277.3M
PIPE Investment(2)	$	300.0M	Transaction expenses	$	46.2 M
			Cash to balance sheet	$	476.5M
Total Sources	$	800.0M	Total Uses	$	800.0M

(1) Calculated as of September 30, 2020.

(2) Shares issued in the PIPE Investment are at a deemed value of $10.00 per share.

Expected Accounting Treatment of the Business Combination

The Business Combination will be accounted for as a reverse capitalization in accordance with GAAP. Under this method of accounting, CF II will be treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. See the subsection titled “The Business Combination — Expected Accounting Treatment of the Business Combination.”

Regulatory Approvals

The Business Combination is not subject to any additional regulatory requirement or approval, except for (i) filings with the State of Delaware, (ii) filings required with the SEC pursuant to the reporting requirements applicable to CF II, and the requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act to disseminate this proxy statement to CF II’s stockholders and (iii) filings required under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the “HSR Act”) in connection with the Business Combination and the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period, or any extension thereof, under the HSR Act.

Under the HSR Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”), the Business Combination cannot be consummated until notifications have been given and certain information has been furnished to the FTC and the Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of Justice (the “Antitrust Division”), and certain waiting period requirements have been satisfied. A transaction notifiable under the HSR Act may not be completed until the expiration of a 30-calendar day waiting period following the parties’ filing of their respective HSR Act notification forms or the early termination of that waiting period. On December 10, 2020, the Parties each filed their respective Pre-Merger Notification and Report Form pursuant to the HSR Act with the Antitrust Division and the FTC. The waiting period under the HSR Act will expire at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time on January 11, 2021, unless early termination is granted.

41

SUMMARY RISK FACTORS

The consummation of the Business Combination and the business and financial condition of the Combined Entity subsequent to Closing are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including those highlighted in the section title “Risk Factors” of this proxy statement/prospectus. The occurrence of one or more of the events or circumstances described below, alone or in combination with other events or circumstances, may adversely affect CF II’s ability to effect a business combination, and may have an adverse effect on the business, cash flows, financial condition and results of operations of CF II and View prior to the Business Combination and that of the Combined Entity subsequent to the Business Combination. Such risks include, but are not limited to:

• The Sponsor and each of CF II’s officers and directors have agreed to vote in favor of the Business Combination, regardless of how CF II’s public stockholders vote.

• Neither the CF II Board nor any committee thereof obtained a third-party valuation in determining whether or not to pursue the Business Combination.

• Since the Sponsor and the members of CF II’s management team have interests that are different, or in addition to (and which may conflict with), the interests of CF II’s stockholders, a conflict of interest may have existed in determining whether the Business Combination is appropriate as CF II’s initial business combination. Such interests include that the Sponsor will lose its entire investment in CF II if a business combination is not completed by August 31, 2022 (or a later date approved by CF II’s stockholders in accordance with the Existing Charter).

• The exercise of the CF II Board’s discretion in agreeing to changes or waivers in the terms of the Merger Agreement and related agreements, including closing conditions, may result in a conflict of interest when determining whether such changes to the terms or waivers of conditions are appropriate and in CF II’s stockholders’ best interest.

• Subsequent to the consummation of the Business Combination, the Combined Entity may be exposed to unknown or contingent liabilities and may be required to subsequently take write-downs or write-offs, restructuring and impairment or other charges that could have a significant negative effect on the Combined Entity’s financial condition, results of operations and the price of its securities, which could cause you to lose some or all of your investment.

• The historical financial results of View and unaudited pro forma financial information included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus may not be indicative of what View’s actual financial position or results of operations would have been if it were a public company.

• The Merger Agreement contains a minimum cash requirement for CF II. This requirement may make it more difficult for CF II to complete the Business Combination as contemplated.

• The Sponsor or CF II’s or View’s respective directors, officers, advisors or respective affiliates may elect to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock from public stockholders prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, which may influence the vote on the Business Combination and reduce the public “float” of the Class A Common Stock.

• If third parties bring claims against CF II, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be reduced and the per share redemption amount received by holders of Class A Common Stock may be less than $10.00 per share.

• CF II’s stockholders may be held liable for claims by third parties against CF II to the extent of distributions received by them upon redemption of their shares.

• Public stockholders who wish to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the Trust Account must comply with specific requirements for redemption that may make it more difficult for them to

42

exercise their redemption rights prior to the deadline. If stockholders fail to comply with the redemption requirements specified in this proxy statement/prospectus, they will not be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the funds held in the Trust Account.

• If a stockholder of CF II or a “group” of stockholders of which such stockholder is a part is deemed to hold an aggregate of more than 15% of the Public Shares, such stockholder (or, if a member of such a group, all of the members of such group in the aggregate) will lose the ability to redeem all such shares in excess of 15% of the Public Shares.

• There is no guarantee that a stockholder’s decision whether to redeem its shares for a pro rata portion of the Trust Account will put the stockholder in a better future economic position.

• If CF II is not able to complete the Business Combination by August 31, 2022 (or a later date approved by CF II’s stockholders in accordance with the Existing Charter) nor able to complete another initial business combination by such date, CF II would cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up and it would redeem its Public Shares and liquidate, in which case CF II’s public stockholders may receive only $10.00 per share, or less than such amount in certain circumstances, and CF II’s warrants will expire worthless.

• View’s limited operating history and a history of financial losses make evaluating View’s business and future prospects difficult, and may increase the risk of your investment.

• View’s future growth and success is dependent upon the real estate ecosystem’s to adopt smart glass and specifically View’s products, especially in the smart glass market which View is targeting with View Smart Glass.

• View’s revenue and backlog may not be adequate or grow sufficiently, and that backlog may not convert into future sales.

• View’s new products and services may not be successful.

• View’s financial results may vary significantly from period-to-period due to fluctuations in its operating costs, revenue and other factors.

• View’s operating and financial results forecast relies in large part upon assumptions and analyses developed by View. If these assumptions or analyses prove to be incorrect, View’s actual operating results may be materially different from its forecasted results.

• View may not be able to accurately estimate the future supply and demand for its products, which could result in a variety of inefficiencies in its business and hinder its ability to generate revenue. If View fails to accurately predict its manufacturing requirements, it could incur additional costs or experience delays.

• Increases in cost of materials, including glass, could harm View’s business.

• View has yet to achieve positive cash flow and there can be no assurance that View will be able to generate positive cash flow from operations in the future.

• Any significant disruption to View’s sole manufacturing production line or the failure of its facility to operate according to its expectation could have a material adverse effect on View’s results of operations.

• COVID-19 and other public health crises could materially impact View’s business, financial condition, and results of operations.

• While View obtains components from multiple sources whenever possible, the glass component used in its products are purchased by View from a single source supplier. The inability of this supplier, as

43

well as other suppliers, to deliver necessary glass components and other components of View’s products according to its schedule and at prices, quality levels and volumes acceptable to View, or View’s inability to efficiently manage these components, could have an adverse effect on View’s financial condition and operating results.

• View’s management has limited experience in operating a public company.

• View faces risks associated with its national and future global operations and expansion, including unfavorable regulatory, political, economic, tax and labor conditions, and with establishing itself in new markets, all of which could harm its business.

• The markets in which View operates are highly competitive, and View may not be successful in competing in these industries. View currently faces competition from new and established national and international competitors and expects to face competition from others in the future, including competition from companies with new technology.

• If View is unable to attract and/or retain key employees and hire qualified personnel, View’s ability to compete could be harmed.

• View may be unable to meet its growing production demand, product sales, delivery plans and servicing needs, or accurately project and manage this growth nationwide or internationally, which could harm View’s business and prospects.

• View relies on certain third-party providers of licensed software and services integral to the operations of View’s business.

• View’s patent applications may not result in issued patents or its patent rights may be contested, circumvented, invalidated or limited in scope, any of which could have a material adverse effect on View’s ability to prevent others from interfering with its commercialization of its products.

• View may need to acquire intellectual property that if View is unable to obtain, or if View is unable to adequately protect its intellectual property, View could be competitively disadvantaged.

• View’s products and services are subject to substantial regulations, which are evolving, and unfavorable changes or failure by View to comply with these regulations could substantially harm its business and operating results.

• Many of View’s products must comply with local building codes and ordinances, and failure of View’s products to comply with such codes and ordinances may have an adverse effect on its business.

• View’s business model of manufacturing smart glass is capital-intensive, and View may not be able to raise additional capital on attractive terms, if at all, which could be dilutive to stockholders. If View cannot raise additional capital when needed, its operations and prospects could be materially and adversely affected.

SELECTED UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The selected unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial data (the “selected pro forma information”) gives effect to the Business Combination described in the section titled “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information.” The Business Combination will be accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with GAAP. Under this method of accounting, CF II will be treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the financial statements of the Combined Entity will represent a continuation of the financial statements of View with the Business Combination treated as the equivalent of View issuing stock for the net assets of CF II, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of CF II will be stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Operations prior to the Business Combination will be presented as those of View in future reports of the Combined Entity.

The selected unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet data as of September 30, 2020 gives pro forma effect to the Business Combination as if it had occurred on September 30, 2020. The selected unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations data for the six months ended September 30, 2020 and twelve months ended March 31, 2020 gives pro forma effect to the Business Combination as if it had occurred on April 1, 2019.

The selected pro forma information has been derived from, and should be read in conjunction with, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information of the Combined Entity appearing elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus and the accompanying notes, in the section titled “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information.” The selected pro forma information is derived from, and should be read in conjunction with, the historical financial statements of CF II and View and related notes included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. The selected pro forma information has been presented for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of what the Combined Entity’s financial position or results of operations actually would have been had the Business Combination and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement been completed as of the dates indicated. The selected pro forma information does not purport to project the future financial position or operating results of the Combined Entity.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements have been prepared assuming two redemption scenarios after giving effect to the Business Combination, as follows:

• Assuming No Redemptions — this scenario assumes that no shares of Class A Common Stock are redeemed and since the available cash as of the Closing under this scenario will exceed $650.0 million, View will prepay in full its debt facilities where the outstanding indebtedness for borrowed money exceeds $100.0 million; and

• Assuming Maximum Redemptions — this scenario assumes that 40,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock are redeemed for an aggregate payment of $400.0 million, which is derived from the number of shares that could be redeemed in connection with the Business Combination at an assumed redemption price of approximately $10.00 per share based on the Trust Account balance as of September 30, 2020 and still satisfy the Minimum Available Acquiror Cash required to consummate the Business Combination of at least $400.0 million, after giving effect to the PIPE Investment and before giving effect to the payment for estimated transaction costs of $46.2 million incurred in connection with the Business Combination. Since the available cash as of the Closing under this scenario will be less than $650.0 million, View will not prepay in full its debt facilities where the outstanding indebtedness for borrowed money exceeds $100.0 million.

49

The following summarizes the pro forma Combined Entity Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately after the Business Combination, presented under the two redemption scenarios:

	Pro Forma Combined (Assuming No Redemptions Scenario) (Shares)		%		Pro Forma Combined (Assuming Maximum Redemptions Scenario) (Shares)		%
CF II Class A stockholders(1)		51,850,000		23.8		11,850,000		6.7
CF II Class B stockholders (converted to Class A Common Stock at Closing)(2)		12,500,000		5.8		12,500,000		7.0
Former View stockholders(3)		123,124,302		56.6		123,124,302		69.4
PIPE Investors(4)		30,000,000		13.8		30,000,000		16.9
Total		217,474,302		100.0		177,474,302		100.0

(1) Includes 750,000 shares to be issued to CF&Co. upon consummation of the business combination pursuant to the Engagement Letter Amendment.

(2) Includes 4,970,000 Sponsor Earn-out Shares subject to forfeiture if the closing stock price of Combined Entity Common Stock does not achieve certain stock price threshold for any five trading days within any ten consecutive trading day during the five-year period following the Closing, as further described herein

(3) Former View stockholders, including their 16,275,000 of Combined Entity Class A Common Stock purchased in the PIPE Investment (see note 4 below), will own 64.1% and 78.5% of the Combined Entity under the no redemptions and maximum redemptions scenarios, respectively.

(4) Includes 16,275,000 shares and 5,000,000 shares of Combined Entity Class A Common Stock to be issued to existing View stockholders and CF II stockholders, respectively, that participated in the PIPE Investment.

The two alternative levels of redemptions assumed in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet and statements of operations are based on the assumption that there are no adjustments for the outstanding Warrants issued in connection with the IPO as such securities are not exercisable until 30 days after the Closing. There are also no adjustments for the estimated 28,314,334 shares reserved for the potential future issuance of the Combined Entity Class A Common Stock upon the exercise of the Combined Entity stock options and upon the exercise of the Combined Entity warrants to be issued to holders of View Stock Options and View Warrant holders upon the consummation of the business combination, as such events have not yet occurred.

50

If the actual facts are different than these assumptions, then the amounts and shares outstanding in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information will be different and those changes could be material.

COMPARATIVE PER SHARE INFORMATION

The comparative per share information sets forth summary historical per share information for CF II and View, respectively, and selected unaudited pro forma condensed combined per share information of the Combined Entity after giving effect to the Business Combination, presented under two redemption scenarios:

• Assuming No Redemptions — this scenario assumes that no shares of Class A Common Stock are redeemed and since the available cash as of the Closing under this scenario will exceed $650.0 million, View will prepay in full its debt facilities where the outstanding indebtedness for borrowed money exceeds $100.0 million; and

• Assuming Maximum Redemptions — this scenario assumes that 40,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock are redeemed for an aggregate payment of $400.0 million, which is derived from the number of shares that could be redeemed in connection with the Business Combination at an assumed redemption price of approximately $10.00 per share based on the Trust Account balance as of September 30, 2020 and still satisfy the Minimum Available Acquiror Cash required to consummate the Business Combination of at least $400.0 million, after giving effect to the PIPE Investment and before giving effect to the payment for estimated transaction costs of $46.2 million incurred in connection with the Business Combination. Since the available cash as of the Closing under this scenario will be less than $650.0 million, View will not prepay in full its debt facilities where the outstanding indebtedness for borrowed money exceeds $100.0 million.

The selected unaudited pro forma condensed combined book value information as of September 30, 2020 gives pro forma effect to the Business Combination as if it had occurred on September 30, 2020. The selected unaudited pro forma condensed combined net loss per share and the weighted average shares outstanding information for the six months ended September 30, 2020 and twelve months ended March 31, 2020 gives pro forma effect to the Business Combination as if it had occurred on April 1, 2019.

The two alternative levels of redemptions assumed in the selected unaudited pro forma condensed combined per share information is based on the assumption that there are no adjustments for the outstanding Warrants issued in connection with the IPO as such securities are not exercisable until 30 days after the Closing. There are also no adjustments for the estimated 28,314,334 shares reserved for the potential future issuance of the Combined Entity Class A Common Stock upon the exercise of the Combined Entity stock options and upon the exercise of the Combined Entity warrants holders of View Stock Options and View Warrant holders upon the consummation of the business combination, as such events have not yet occurred.

This information is only a summary and should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements of CF II and View and related notes included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

RISK FACTORS

Stockholders should carefully consider the following risk factors, together with all of the other information included in this proxy statement/prospectus, before they decide whether to vote or instruct their vote to be cast to approve the proposals described in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, references to the “Combined Entity” refer to CF II and its consolidated subsidiaries after giving effect to the Business Combination. References in this section to “CF II” and the “Company” refer to CF Finance Acquisition Corp. II and references in this section to “View” refer to View, Inc. and its subsidiaries.

Risk Factors Relating to View

Risk Factors Relating to View’s Business and Industry

View’s limited operating history and a history of financial losses make evaluating View’s business and future prospects difficult, and may increase the risk of your investment.

You must consider the risks and difficulties View faces as an early stage company with a limited operating history. If View does not successfully address these risks, View’s business, prospects, operating results and financial condition will be materially and adversely harmed. View has been devoting substantially all of its efforts towards the manufacturing, sale and further development of its product platforms, and marketing of both custom and standardized product solutions. In the course of its activities, View has not achieved profitable operations or positive cash flows from operations. View incurred a net loss of $289.9 million and $201.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 and the nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. View believes that it will continue to incur substantial losses until at least the time it meets the demands of its current order backlog, assuming such backlogs can be sustained. There can be no assurance that positive cash flows from operations can be achieved or sustained and may occur later than expected.

The amount of View’s future losses is uncertain and View’s quarterly operating results may fluctuate significantly or may fall below the expectations of investors as View, among other things, continues to incur significant expenses in connection with the design, development and manufacturing of its products, expansion of its research and development activities, investment in manufacturing capabilities, build-up of inventories of components for its products, increase in its sales and marketing activities, development of its distribution infrastructure and increase in its general and administrative functions to support its growing operations. View may find that these efforts are more expensive than it currently anticipates or that these efforts may not result in a sufficient increase in revenue, which would further increase View’s losses.

View’s future growth and success is dependent upon the real estate industry’s willingness to adopt smart glass and specifically View’s products, especially in the smart glass market which View is targeting with View Smart Glass.

View’s growth is highly dependent upon the adoption of smart glass by the real estate industry. Although View anticipates growing demand for View’s products, there is no guarantee of such future demand, or that View’s products will remain competitive in the market.

If the market for smart glass in general and View products in particular does not develop as View expects, or develops more slowly than View expects, or if demand for View’s products decreases in its markets, View’s business, prospects, financial condition and operating results could be harmed. The market for View’s products could be affected by numerous factors, such as:

• perceptions about smart glass features, quality, safety, performance and cost;

• competition, including from other types of smart glass or traditional glass;

54

• the cost premium of smart glass in contrast to traditional glass;

• government regulations and economic incentives;

• reduced construction activity, including as a result of the short and long-term effect of COVID-19; and

• concerns about View’s future viability.

View’s revenue and backlog may not be adequate or grow sufficiently, and that backlog may not convert into future sales.

View cannot provide assurances that its business will grow. For instance, bookings and design win backlogs may not materialize into future sales as expected, as building projects may be canceled or change their product plans due to the time-sensitive nature of the construction of commercial buildings which is often delayed by unforeseen events, or terminated completely. Even if View’s backlog can be sustained and there is conversion into future sales, View may not be able to produce and deliver the products at sufficient cost, or at all.

View’s new products and services may not be successful.

View launched its first smart glass products and services in 2012. Since that time, View has launched a number of other offerings and anticipates launching additional products and services in the future. Existing and new products and services View may launch in the future may not be well received by View’s business customers, may not help View to generate new business customers, may adversely affect the attrition rate of existing business customers, may increase View’s business customer acquisition costs and may increase the costs to service View’s business customers. Any profits View may generate from these or other new products or services may be lower than profits generated from View’s other products and services and may not be sufficient for View to recoup View’s development or business customer acquisition costs incurred. New products and services may also have lower gross margins, particularly to the extent that they do not fully utilize View’s existing infrastructure. In addition, new products and services may require increased operational expenses or business customer acquisition costs and present new and difficult technological and intellectual property challenges that may subject View to claims or complaints if business customers experience service disruptions or failures or other quality issues. To the extent View’s new products and services are not successful, it could have a material adverse effect on View’s business, financial condition, cash flows or results of operations.

View’s financial results may vary significantly from period-to-period due to fluctuations in its operating costs, revenue and other factors.

View expects its period-to-period financial results to vary based on its operating costs and revenue, which View anticipates will fluctuate as the pace at which it continues to design, develop and manufacture new products and possibly increase production capacity by expanding its current manufacturing facility and adding future facilities, and, ultimately, upon market acceptance of its products. Additionally, View’s revenue from period-to-period may fluctuate as it introduces existing products to new markets for the first time and as it develops and introduces new products. As a result of these factors, View believes that quarter-to-quarter comparisons of its financial results, especially in the short term, are not necessarily meaningful and that these comparisons cannot be relied upon as indicators of future performance. Moreover, View’s financial results may not meet expectations of equity research analysts, ratings agencies or investors, who may be focused only on quarterly financial results.

View’s operating and financial results forecast relies in large part upon assumptions and analyses developed by View. If these assumptions or analyses prove to be incorrect, View’s actual operating results may be materially different from its forecasted results.

The projected financial and operating information appearing elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus reflect current estimates of future performance. Whether actual operating and financial results and business

55

developments will be consistent with View’s expectations and assumptions as reflected in its forecasts depends on a number of factors, many of which are outside View’s control, including, but not limited to:

• market acceptance of View’s products;

• success and timing of development activity;

• competition, including from established and future competitors;

• View’s ability to manage its growth;

• View’s ability to satisfy the manufacturing and production demands associated with customer orders;

• whether View can manage relationships with key suppliers;

• View’s ability to retain existing key management, integrate recent hires and attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel; and

• the overall strength and stability of domestic and international economies.

Unfavorable changes in any of these or other factors, most of which are beyond View’s control, could materially and adversely affect its business, results of operations and financial results.

View may not be able to accurately estimate the future supply and demand for its products, which could result in a variety of inefficiencies in its business and hinder its ability to generate revenue. If View fails to accurately predict its manufacturing requirements, it could incur additional costs or experience delays.

It is difficult to predict View’s future revenue and appropriately budget for its expenses, and View may have limited insight into trends that may emerge and affect its business. View anticipates being required to provide forecasts of its demand to its current and future suppliers prior to the scheduled delivery of products to potential business customers. Currently, there is no historical basis for making judgments on the demand for View’s products or its ability to develop, manufacture, and deliver products, or View’s profitability in the future. If View overestimates its requirements, its suppliers may have excess inventory, which indirectly would increase View’s costs. If View underestimates its requirements, its suppliers may have inadequate inventory, which could interrupt manufacturing of its products and result in delays in shipments and revenue. In addition, lead times for materials and components that View’s suppliers order may vary significantly and depend on factors such as the specific supplier, contract terms and demand for each component at a given time. If View fails to order sufficient quantities of product components in a timely manner, the delivery of its products to its potential business customers could be delayed, which would harm View’s business, financial condition and operating results.

Disruption of supply or shortage of materials, in particular for glass, could harm View’s business.

View’s business is dependent on the continued supply of certain materials, including glass for use in its products, and View may experience a sustained interruption in the supply or shortage of such materials. Any such supply interruption or shortage could materially and negatively impact View’s business, prospects, financial condition and operating results. The available supply may be unstable, depending on market conditions and global demand for these materials and could adversely affect View’s business and operating results.

Increases in cost of materials, including glass, could harm View’s business.

Certain materials necessary to produce View products, including glass, are sourced from a limited number of suppliers. Any disruption in the supply of materials from such suppliers could disrupt production of its products until such time as a different supplier is fully qualified. As a result, View may experience an increase in costs or inability to meet customer demand. Furthermore, shortages or increased demand of such materials and other economic conditions may cause View to experience significant increases in freight charges and the cost of materials. Substantial increases in the prices for View’s materials or prices charged to it would increase View’s

56

operating costs, and could reduce its margins if it cannot recoup the increased costs through increased product prices. Any attempts to increase product prices in response to increased material costs could result in cancellations of product orders and reservations and therefore materially and adversely affect View’s brand, image, business, prospects and operating results.

View has yet to achieve positive cash flow and there can be no assurance that View will be able to generate positive cash flow from operations in the future.

View has had negative cash flow from operating activities of $310.1 million and $234.0 million in the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2019, respectively. View anticipates that it will continue to have negative cash flow from operating and investing activities for the foreseeable future as it scales its business. View’s business also will at times require significant amounts of working capital to support its growth, particularly as it acquires inventory to support its anticipated increase in production. An inability to generate positive cash flow for the foreseeable future may adversely affect View’s ability to raise needed capital for its business on reasonable terms, diminish supplier or customer willingness to enter into transactions with View, and have other adverse effects that would decrease its long-term viability. There can be no assurance View will achieve positive cash flow in the foreseeable future.

Any significant disruption to View’s sole manufacturing production line or the failure of its facility to operate according to its expectation could have a material adverse effect on View’s results of operations.

View currently manufactures its smart glass product on a single production line. While significantly complete, View’s second production line is currently incapable of producing its products and will require capital investment to become operational. Any stoppages, malfunction, or destruction of View’s operational line could adversely affect View’s ability to meet customer demand, manufacture its products at cost and/or ramp production. In addition, View may experience delays in realizing its cost targets in the event that there is an increase in the costs of maintenance of the equipment, machinery and facility used in production.

Operational problems with View’s manufacturing equipment could result in the personal injury to or death of workers, the loss of production equipment, damage to manufacturing facilities, monetary losses, delays and unanticipated fluctuations in production. Safety incidents could damage machinery or product, slow or stop production, or harm employees. In addition, operational problems may result in environmental damage, administrative fines, increased insurance costs and potential legal liabilities. All of these operational problems could have a material adverse effect on View’s business, results of operations, cash flows, financial condition or prospects.

View’s corporate headquarters and production facility are located in seismically active regions. If major disasters such as earthquakes, fires or other events occur, or View’s information system or communications network breaks down or operates improperly, its headquarters and production facility may be seriously damaged, or View may have to stop or delay production and shipment of its products. View may incur expenses relating to such damages, which could have a material adverse impact on its business, operating results and financial condition.

Any issues or delays in meeting View’s projected manufacturing costs and production capacity could adversely impact its business, prospects, operating results and financial condition.

Future events could result in issues or delays in further ramping View’s products and expanding production output at its existing and future operating lines. In order to achieve its volume and the anticipated ramp in production of its products, View must continue to sustain and ramp significant production at its sole, existing production line. View is not currently employing full degree of automation in the manufacturing processes for its products. If View is unable to maintain production at its Olive Branch facility, ramp output additionally over time as needed, and do so cost-effectively, or if it is unable to attract, hire and retain a substantial number of

57

highly skilled personnel, View’s ability to supply its products could be negatively impacted, which could negatively affect View’s brand and harm its business, prospects, financial condition and operating results.

The timeframe for the construction of View’s second operating line is subject to a number of uncertainties, including regulatory licenses, supply chain constraints, hiring and retention of qualified employees, labor delays and competition for workers. Moreover, View’s second operating line will require significant investments of cash and management resources. If we experience any issues or delays in meeting its projected timelines, costs, capital efficiency and production capacity for this second operating line, or in securing and complying with the terms of financing that View intends will largely fund its construction, its business, prospects, operating results and financial condition could be adversely impacted.

COVID-19 and other public health crises could materially impact View’s business, financial condition, and results of operations.

During March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the rapidly growing coronavirus outbreak (COVID-19) to be a global pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted health and economic conditions throughout the United States, including the construction industry. In response to the global COVID-19 pandemic, View implemented a number of precautionary and other measures to promote business continuity. These measures have been comprehensive and included initiatives regarding employee health and safety, working conditions (including remote working), engagements with business customers and suppliers, financial management, operational efficiency, internal and external communications, government relations and community outreach. While View believes that all of these measures have been necessary or appropriate, they have resulted in additional costs and may adversely impact its business and financial performance in the future or expose View to additional unknown risks.

The extent to which the pandemic could impact View continues to be highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, and will depend largely on subsequent developments, including the severity and duration of the pandemic, measures taken to contain the spread of the virus, such as restrictions on travel and gatherings of people and temporary closures of or limitations on businesses and other commercial activities, and policies implemented by governmental authorities to ease restrictions in a phased manner.

Although it is not possible to predict the ultimate impact of COVID-19, including on View’s business, View may be subject to significant risks, which have the potential to materially and adversely impact its business, financial condition, and results of operations, including the following:

• reduced or delayed demand for its products in the markets that it serves around the world;

• potential long-term effects on employer work-from-home policies and therefore demand for office space;

• increased credit risk, including increased failure by business customers experiencing business disruptions to make timely payments;

• a negative impact on its liquidity position, as well as increased costs and less ability to access funds under its existing or future credit facilities and the capital markets;

• long-term tightening of the supply of capital in global financial markets (including, in the United States, a reduction in total tax equity availability), which could make it difficult for purchasers of its products or its development projects to secure the debt or equity capital necessary to finance its operations, thereby delaying or reducing demand for its products;

• reduced availability and productivity of employees and third-party partner personnel;

• recommendations or orders of governmental authorities that require View to curtail or cease business operations or activities, including manufacturing;

58

• costs associated with production curtailments that are driven by governmental actions, business customer demand or other causes related to COVID-19;

• increased operational risks resulting from changes to operations and remote work arrangements, including the potential effects on internal controls and procedures, cybersecurity risks and increased vulnerability to security breaches, information technology disruptions and other similar events;

• failure of View’s suppliers or vendors to supply materials or equipment, or the failure of its vendors to install, repair, or replace View’s specialized equipment, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, related containment measures, or limitations on logistics providers’ ability to operate, may idle, slowdown, shutdown, or otherwise cause View to adjust its manufacturing capacity;

• higher costs in certain areas such as transportation and distribution, as well as incremental costs associated with health screenings, temperature checks and enhanced cleaning and sanitation protocols to protect View’s employees and others;

• delays and disruptions in the availability of and timely delivery of materials and equipment used in View’s operations, as well as increased costs for such materials and equipment;

• delays in the performance by third parties of activities related to the development of projects, such as engineering, procurement, construction, and other activities;

• delays in obtaining, or failing to obtain, the approvals or rights that are required for View’s development projects to proceed, such as permitting, interconnection, or land usage approvals or rights;

• government-imposed travel or visa restrictions that may prevent personnel employed by View or its vendors from traveling to View’s sites to work on key projects, which may delay their progress;

• any further impairment in the value of tangible or intangible assets that could be recorded as a result of weaker or more volatile economic conditions; and

• administrative proceedings, litigation or regulatory compliance matters.

With respect to the U.S. credit markets (in particular for middle market loans), the COVID-19 outbreak has resulted in, and until fully resolved is likely to continue to result in, the following among other things: (i) increased draws by borrowers on revolving lines of credit; (ii) increased requests by borrowers for amendments and waivers of their credit agreements to avoid default, increased defaults by such borrowers and/or increased difficulty in obtaining refinancing at the maturity dates of their loans; (iii) volatility and disruption of these markets including greater volatility in pricing and spreads and difficulty in valuing loans during periods of increased volatility, and liquidity issues; and (iv) rapidly evolving proposals and/or actions by state and federal governments to address problems being experienced by the markets and by businesses and the economy in general which will not necessarily adequately address the problems facing the loan market and middle market businesses. This outbreak is having, and any future outbreaks could have, an adverse impact on the markets and the economy in general, which could have a material adverse impact on, among other things, the ability of lenders to originate loans, the volume and type of loans originated, and the volume and type of amendments and waivers granted to borrowers and remedial actions taken in the event of a borrower default, each of which could negatively impact the amount and quality of loans available for investment by View and returns to it and its subsidiary, View Smart Building Technology, Inc. (“View Canada”), among other things. The financial and economic market uncertainty could have a significant adverse impact on View and the fair value of its investments. These potential impacts, while uncertain, could adversely affect View Canada’s operating results.

If the economy is unable to substantially reopen, and high levels of unemployment continue for an extended period of time, loan delinquencies, loan non-accruals, problem assets, and bankruptcies may increase. In addition, collateral for View’s loans may decline in value, which could cause loan losses to increase and the net worth and liquidity of loan guarantors could decline, impairing their ability to honor commitments to View. An increase in loan delinquencies and non-accruals or a decrease in loan collateral and guarantor net worth could result in increased costs and reduced income which would have a material adverse effect on View’s business, financial condition or results of operations.

59

View will also be negatively affected if its operations and effectiveness or the operations and effectiveness of View Canada (or any of the key personnel or service providers of the foregoing) is compromised or if necessary or beneficial systems and processes are disrupted.

If current global market conditions continue or worsen, or if View cannot or does not maintain operations at a scope that is commensurate with such conditions or are later required to or choose to suspend such operations again, its business, prospects, financial condition, and operating results could be materially harmed.

Risk Factors Relating to Suppliers and Third Parties

While View obtains components from multiple sources whenever possible, the glass component used in its products are purchased by View from a single source supplier. The inability of this supplier, as well as other suppliers, to deliver necessary glass components and other components of View’s products according to its schedule and at prices, quality levels and volumes acceptable to View, or View’s inability to efficiently manage these components, could have an adverse effect on View’s financial condition and operating results.

View’s products contain numerous purchased parts that it sources from multiple direct suppliers. View attempts to mitigate its supply chain risk by entering into long-term agreements where it is practical and beneficial to do so. View also minimizes its risk when it can qualify and obtain components from multiple sources, which it purchases from a variety of suppliers. However, any significant increases in View’s production may require it to procure additional components in a short amount of time, and in the past View has also replaced certain suppliers because of their failure to provide components that met its quality control standards. While View believes that it will be able to secure additional or alternate sources of supply for most of its components in a relatively short time frame, there is no assurance that it will be able to do so or develop its own replacements for certain highly customized components of its products. If View encounters unexpected difficulties with key suppliers and if it is unable to fill these needs from other suppliers, View could experience production delays and potential loss of access to important technology and parts for producing, servicing and supporting its products.

View obtains important glass components of its products from a single source third-party supplier. Should such supplier cease to manufacture the products View purchases from them or become unable to timely deliver these products in accordance with View’s requirements, or should such other suppliers of other components choose not to do business with View, View may be required to locate alternative suppliers in the open market. Any disruption in the supply of components or materials could temporarily disrupt research and development activities or production of View’s products until an alternative supplier is able to supply the required material. Replacing a supplier could require the expenditure of additional resources and time to redesign and resource these products. To the extent View’s suppliers experience any delays in providing or developing the necessary materials, View could experience delays in delivering on its timelines. This could result in loss of future revenue and could have a material adverse effect on View’s business, financial condition, cash flows or results of operations. Also, if components and materials were found to be defective, View might not be able to recover the costs associated with the recall, repair or replacement of such products, across View’s business customer base, and the diversion of personnel and other resources to address such issues could have a material adverse effect on View’s financial condition, cash flows or results of operations.

Furthermore, unexpected changes in business conditions, materials pricing, labor issues, wars, governmental changes, currency fluctuations, trade barriers, tariffs, shortages, natural disasters and other factors beyond View’s and its suppliers’ control, could also affect View’s suppliers’ ability to deliver components to it on a timely basis or significantly increase freight charges, raw material costs and other expenses associated with View’s business. The loss of a supplier or the disruption in the supply of components from these suppliers could lead to delays in product deliveries to View’s business customers, which could hurt its relationships with its business customers and result in negative publicity, damage to its brand and a material and adverse effect on its business, prospects, financial condition and operating results.

View may also experience cost increases from its suppliers in order to meet its quality targets and development timelines as well as due to its design changes, and View may experience similar cost increases in

60

the future. View may not be able to control fluctuation in the prices for these materials or negotiate agreement with its suppliers on terms that are beneficial to View. Substantial increases in the prices for View’s raw materials or components would increase its operating costs and negatively impact View’s prospects.

There is no assurance that these suppliers will ultimately be able to sustainably and timely meet View’s cost, quality and volume needs. Furthermore, as the scale of View’s production increases, it will need to accurately forecast, purchase, warehouse and transport to its manufacturing facilities components at much higher volumes. If View is unable to accurately match the timing and quantities of component purchases to its actual needs, including for its different product variants, or successfully implement automation, inventory management and other systems to accommodate the increased complexity in its supply chain, View may incur unexpected production disruption, storage, transportation and write-off costs, which could have a material adverse effect on its financial condition and operating results.

Failure by View’s component suppliers to use ethical business practices and comply with applicable laws and regulations may adversely affect View’s business.

View does not control its contract manufacturers or suppliers or their business practices. Accordingly, View cannot guarantee that they follow ethical business practices such as fair wage practices and compliance with environmental, safety, and other local laws. A lack of demonstrated compliance could lead View to seek alternative manufacturers or suppliers, which could increase its costs and result in delayed delivery of its products, product shortages, or other disruptions of its operations. Violation of labor or other laws by View’s manufacturers or suppliers or the divergence of a supplier’s labor or other practices from those generally accepted as ethical in the U.S. or other markets in which View does business could also attract negative publicity for it and harm its business.

Risk Factors Relating to Future Performance

View’s future operating and financial results are uncertain.

Prior growth rates in revenue and other operating and financial results should not be considered indicative of View’s future performance. View’s future performance and operating results depend on, among other things: (i) View’s ability to renew and/or upgrade contracts with existing business customers and maintain business customer satisfaction with existing business customers; (ii) View’s ability to generate new business customers, including View’s ability to scale the number of new business customers generated through inside sales and other channels; (iii) View’s ability to increase the density of View’s business customer base for existing markets or continue to expand into new geographic markets; (iv) View’s ability to successfully develop and market new and innovative products and services; (v) the level of product, service and price competition; (vi) the degree of saturation in, and View’s ability to further penetrate, existing markets; (vii) View’s ability to manage growth, revenue, origination or acquisition costs of new business customers and attrition rates, the cost of servicing View’s existing business customers and general and administrative costs; and (viii) View’s ability to attract, train and retain qualified employees. If View’s future operating and financial results suffer as a result of any of the other reasons mentioned above, or any other reasons, there could be a material adverse effect on View’s business, financial condition, cash flows or results of operations.

If View is unable to establish and maintain confidence in its long-term business prospects among business customers, analysts and within its industries, then View’s financial condition, operating results, and business prospects may suffer materially.

Business customers may be less likely to purchase View’s products if they are not convinced that its business will succeed or that View’s service and support and other operations will continue in the long term. Similarly, suppliers and other third parties will be less likely to invest time and resources in developing business relationships with View if they are not convinced that its business will succeed. Accordingly, in order to build

61

and maintain its business, View must maintain confidence among business customers, suppliers, analysts, ratings agencies and other parties in its long-term financial viability and business prospects. Maintaining such confidence may be complicated by certain factors, such as View’s limited operating history, negative press, business customer unfamiliarity with its products, any delays in scaling manufacturing, delivery and service operations to meet demand, competition and uncertainty regarding the future of smart glass or View’s other products and services, View’s quarterly production and sales performance compared with market expectations, and any other negative publicity related to View. Many of these factors are largely outside View’s control, and any negative perceptions about its long-term business prospects, even if exaggerated or unfounded, such as speculation regarding the sufficiency or stability of View’s management team, could harm its business and make it more difficult to raise additional funds if needed.

View’s management has limited experience in operating a public company.

View’s executive officers have limited experience in the management of a publicly traded company. View’s management team may not successfully or effectively manage its transition to a public company that will be subject to significant regulatory oversight and reporting obligations under federal securities laws. Their limited experience in dealing with the increasingly complex laws pertaining to public companies could be a significant disadvantage in that it is likely that an increasing amount of their time may be devoted to these activities, which will result in less time being devoted to the management and growth of the Combined Entity. View may not have adequate personnel with the appropriate level of knowledge, experience, and training in the accounting policies, practices or internal controls over financial reporting required of public companies in the United States. The development and implementation of the standards and controls necessary for the Combined Entity to achieve the level of accounting standards required of a public company in the United States may require costs greater than expected. It is possible that the Combined Entity will be required to expand its employee base and hire additional employees to support its operations as a public company, which will increase its operating costs in future periods.

Risk Factors Relating to Growth and Expansion

View faces risks associated with its national and future global operations and expansion, including unfavorable regulatory, political, economic, tax and labor conditions, and with establishing itself in new markets, all of which could harm its business.

View currently has domestic operations in the United States and a subsidiary in Canada, and it plans to continue to expand and optimize its products domestically and internationally. Accordingly, View is subject to a variety of legal, political and regulatory requirements and social and economic conditions over which it has little control. For example, View may be impacted by trade policies, political uncertainty and economic cycles involving geographic regions where it has significant operations.

View may become subject to a number of risks associated in particular with international business activities that may increase its costs, impact its ability to sell its products and require significant management attention. These risks include conforming View’s products to various international regulatory and safety requirements, organizing local operating entities, difficulty in establishing, staffing and managing foreign operations, challenges in attracting business customers, foreign government taxes, regulations and permit requirements, View’s ability to enforce its contractual rights; trade restrictions, customs regulations, tariffs and price or exchange controls, and preferences of foreign nations for domestically manufactured products.

If View fails to scale its business operations and otherwise manage future growth and adapt to new conditions effectively as View rapidly grows, including internationally, View may not be able to produce, market, sell and service its products successfully.

Any failure to manage View’s growth effectively could materially and adversely affect its business, prospects, operating results and financial condition. View’s future operating results depend to a large extent on

62

its ability to manage its expansion and growth successfully and to correctly forecast demand for its products in different markets, including with respect to reduced demand for commercial real estate resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. View may not be successful in undertaking this expansion if View is unable to control expenses and avoid cost overruns and other unexpected operating costs, establish sufficient nationwide and international service in a timely manner, adapt its products and conduct its operations to meet local requirements, implement required local infrastructure, systems and processes, and find and hire a significant number of additional manufacturing, engineering, service, construction and administrative personnel.

Risk Factors Relating to Markets and Competition

The markets in which View operates are highly competitive, and View may not be successful in competing in these industries. View currently faces competition from new and established national and international competitors and expects to face competition from others in the future, including competition from companies with new technology.

The smart glass market is highly competitive today and View expects it will become even more so in the future. There is no assurance that View’s products will be successful in the respective markets in which they compete. View’s current and potential competitors could, in the future, have significantly greater financial, technical, manufacturing, marketing, product sales resources and networks than View does and may be able to devote greater resources to the design, development, manufacturing, distribution, promotion, sale and support of their products. These competitors also may have greater access to business customers and may be able to establish cooperative or strategic relationships amongst themselves or with third parties that may further enhance their resources and competitive positioning. In addition, smart glass manufacturers may continue to reduce cost and expand supply of conventional glass and therefore reduce the prospects for View’s business or negatively impact the ability for View to sell its products at a market-competitive price and yet at sufficient margins. Increased competition could result in lower smart glass unit sales, price reductions, revenue shortfalls, loss of business customers and loss of market share, which could harm View’s business, prospects, financial condition and operating results.

Developments in alternative smart glass or improvements in smart glass technology made by competitors may materially adversely affect the sales, pricing and gross margins of View Smart Glass. If a competing technology is developed that has superior operational or price performance, View’s business will be harmed. Similarly, if View fails to accurately predict and ensure that its smart glass technology can address business customers’ changing needs or emerging technological trends, or if View’s business customers fail to achieve the benefits expected from View Smart Glass products, View’s business will be harmed.

View must continue to commit significant resources to develop its smart glass technology in order to establish a competitive position, and these commitments will be made without knowing whether such investments will result in products potential business customers will accept. There is no assurance View will successfully identify new consumer requirements, develop and bring its smart glass to market on a timely basis, or that products and technologies developed by others will not render View Smart Glass obsolete or noncompetitive, any of which would adversely affect View’s business and operating results.

If View is unable to attract and/or retain key employees and hire qualified personnel, View’s ability to compete could be harmed.

View’s success depends on its ability to attract and retain its executive officers and key technology, sales, marketing, research and development, engineering, manufacturing and support personnel, and its operations may be severely disrupted if it lost their services. As View builds its brand and becomes more well known, there is increased risk that competitors or other companies will seek to hire View personnel. None of View’s employees are bound by a non-competition agreement. The failure to attract, integrate, train, motivate and retain these personnel could seriously harm View’s business and prospects.

63

The loss of the services of any of View’s key employees or executive officers could disrupt its operations, delay the development and introduction of its products and services, and negatively impact its business, prospects and operating results. In addition, View is highly dependent on the services of Rao Mulpuri, its Chief Executive Officer, and other senior technical and management personnel, including its executive officers, who would be difficult to replace. If Dr. Mulpuri or other key personnel were to depart, View may not be able to successfully attract and retain senior leadership necessary to grow its business.

Furthermore, replacing executive officers and key employees may be difficult and may take an extended period of time because of the limited number of individuals in View’s industry with the breadth of skills and experience required to successfully develop, sell and service View’s products. Competition to hire from this limited pool is intense, and View may be unable to hire, train, retain or motivate these key personnel on acceptable terms given the competition among numerous smart glass companies for similar personnel.

Although View has employment agreements with its key employees, these employment agreements provide for at-will employment, which means that any of View’s employees could leave its employment at any time, with or without notice. View’s continued success depends upon its continued ability to hire new employees in a timely manner, especially to support View’s high-volume manufacture of products and expansion plans, and to retain current employees or replace departed senior employees with qualified and experienced individuals, which is typically a time-consuming process. and any failure or delay in doing so could adversely impact View’s business, prospects, financial condition and operating results.

Key talent may leave View due to various factors, such as a competitive labor market for talented individuals with business or technology experience, or negative publicity related to View. This competition affects both View’s ability to retain key employees and hire new ones. Moreover, View has in the past conducted reductions in force in order to optimize its organizational structure and reduce costs, and certain senior personnel have also departed for various reasons. Additionally, View competes with both mature and prosperous companies that have far greater financial resources than it does and start-ups and emerging companies that promise short-term growth opportunities. Difficulties in retaining current employees or recruiting new ones could have an adverse effect on View’s performance and results.

Risk Factors Relating to Supply, Demand and Production

View may be unable to meet its growing production demand, product sales, delivery plans and servicing needs, or accurately project and manage this growth nationwide or internationally, which could harm View’s business and prospects.

View has experienced in the past, and may experience in the future, delays or other complications in the design, manufacture, launch, and production ramp of its products, including View Smart Glass or may not realize its manufacturing cost targets, which could harm View’s brand, business, prospects, financial condition and operating results. View’s manufacturing facility may require significant cash investments and management resources for these plans, and View may not meet its expectations with respect to additional sales of its products. In addition, View has introduced in the past, and may introduce in the future, new manufacturing technologies, techniques and processes. There is no guarantee that it will be able to successfully and timely introduce and scale any such new processes or features.

View’s production plans for its products are based on many key assumptions, including:

• Ability to utilize manufacturing capacity to achieve the planned production yield. View assumes that it will be able to sustain and further expand its high-volume production and its products at the Olive Branch facility, including with the introduction of new product features, without exceeding its projected costs and on its projected timeline;

• Ability to maintain View’s desired quality levels and optimize design and production changes. View assumes that the equipment and processes which it has selected for production will be able to

64

accurately manufacture high volumes of the different variants of its products within specified design tolerances and with high quality;

• Suppliers’ ability to support View’s needs. View assumes that it will be able to maintain suppliers for the necessary components on terms and conditions that are acceptable to it and that it will be able to obtain high-quality components on a timely basis and in the necessary quantities to support high-volume production; and

• Ability to hire and retain skilled employees. View assumes that it will be able to attract, recruit, hire, train and retain skilled employees to operate its planned high-volume production facilities to support its products, including at the Olive Branch facility.

If one or more of the foregoing assumptions turns out to be incorrect, View’s ability to meet its projections, including for production, on time and at volumes and prices that are profitable, the demand for and deliveries of its products, as well as its business, prospects, operating results and financial condition, may be materially and adversely impacted.

Concurrent with developing, launching and ramping its products, View’s success will depend on its ability to continue to significantly increase its sales, deliveries, and servicing, while allocating its available resources among multiple products simultaneously. View is the sole servicer of its products, providing internet connectivity of products and servicing warranty. Although View has a plan for selling and delivering increased volumes of its products, it has limited experience developing, manufacturing, selling, servicing and allocating its available resources at the scale to which it expects to grow. If View is unable to realize its plans, its brand, business, prospects, financial condition and operating results could be materially damaged.

View continuously evaluates, and as appropriate evolves, its operations and product offerings in order to maximize its reach and optimize its costs. However, there is no guarantee that each step in View’s evolving strategy will be perceived as intended by developers, tenants, and the construction industry. Likewise, as View develops and grows its products and services in North America, and possibly worldwide, its success will depend on its ability to correctly forecast demand in different markets.

View may also face difficulties meeting its sales and delivery goals in both existing markets as well as new markets into which it expands. There is no assurance that View will be able to ramp its business to meet its sales and delivery targets in North America or even globally, or that its projections on which such targets are based will prove accurate. This ongoing expansion in North America and potentially internationally, which includes planned entry into markets in which View has limited or no experience selling, delivering, and servicing its products at scale, and which may pose legal, regulatory, labor, cultural and political challenges that it have not previously encountered, may not have the desired effect of increasing sales and expanding View’s brand presence to the degree it is anticipating. Moreover, View may not be successful in managing its national and future international operations if it is unable to avoid cost overruns and other unexpected operating costs, adapt its products and conduct its operations to meet local requirements and regulations, implement required local infrastructure, systems and processes, and find and hire as needed additional sales, service, construction and administrative personnel. If View fails to manage its growth effectively, it could result in negative publicity and damage to its brand and have a material adverse effect on its business, prospects, financial condition and operating results.

View relies on complex machinery for its operations, and production involves a significant degree of risk and uncertainty in terms of operational performance and costs.

View relies heavily on complex machinery for its operations and the production of its products that suffers unexpected malfunctions from time to time and requires repairs and spare parts to resume operations, which may not be available when needed. Unexpected malfunctions of View’s production equipment may significantly affect intended operational efficiency. In addition, the operational performance and costs associated with this

65

equipment can be difficult to predict and may be influenced by factors outside of View’s control, such as, but not limited to, failures by suppliers to deliver necessary machinery components in a timely manner and at prices and volumes acceptable to View, which could have a material adverse effect on View’s operational performance, cash flows, financial condition or prospects.

Catastrophic events may disrupt View’s business.

Unforeseen events, or the prospect of such events, including war, terrorism and other international conflicts, public health issues including health epidemics or pandemics and natural disasters such as fire, hurricanes, earthquakes, tornados or other adverse weather and climate conditions, whether occurring in the United States, Canada or elsewhere, could disrupt View’s operations, disrupt the operations of suppliers or business customers or result in political or economic instability. These types of events outside of View’s control could adversely affect operating results for View Canada. View cannot assure that any backup systems will be adequate to protect it from the effects of fire, floods, typhoons, earthquakes, power loss, telecommunications failures, break-ins, war, riots, terrorist attacks or similar events. Any of the foregoing events may give rise to interruptions, breakdowns, system failures, technology platform failures or internet failures, which could cause the loss or corruption of data or malfunctions of software or hardware as well as adversely affect View’s ability to manufacture products and provide services. These events could reduce demand for View’s products and services, make it difficult or impossible to receive equipment from suppliers or impair View’s ability to deliver products and services to business customers on a timely basis. Any such disruption could damage View’s reputation and cause business customer attrition. View could be subject to claims or litigation with respect to losses caused by such disruptions. View’s insurance may not cover a particular event at all or be sufficient to fully cover View’s losses.

Risk Factors Relating to Quality of Products

If View’s products fail to perform as expected, View’s ability to develop, market and sell its products and services could be harmed.

If View’s products contain defects in design and manufacture that cause them not to perform as expected or that require repair, or certain features of its products take longer than expected to become enabled or are legally restricted, View’s ability to develop, sell, and service its products could be harmed. Although View attempts to remedy any issues it observes in its products as effectively and rapidly as possible, such efforts may not be timely, may hamper production or may not be to the satisfaction of its business customers. While View has performed extensive internal testing on the products it manufactures, it currently has a limited frame of reference by which to evaluate detailed long-term quality, reliability, durability and performance characteristics of its products. There can be no assurance that View will be able to detect and fix any defects in its products prior to their sale to business customers.

View’s inability to provide products or services in a timely manner, legal restrictions on product features, or defects in View’s products or services, including products and services of third parties that View incorporate into View’s offerings, could adversely affect View’s reputation, result in delivery delays, product recalls, product liability claims, and significant warranty and other expenses, and subject View to claims or litigation. In addition, View’s inability to meet business customers’ expectations with respect to View’s products or services could increase attrition rates or affect View’s ability to generate new business customers and thereby have a material adverse effect on View’s business, financial condition, cash flow or results of operations.

View may choose to or be compelled to undertake product recalls or take other similar actions, which could adversely affect View’s brand image and financial performance.

Any product recall with respect to View’s products may result in adverse publicity, damage its brand and adversely affect its business, prospects, operating results and financial condition. In the future, View may at

66

various times, voluntarily or involuntarily, initiate a recall if any of its products prove to be defective or noncompliant with applicable laws and regulations. Such recalls, whether voluntary or involuntary or caused by systems or components engineered or manufactured by View or its suppliers, could involve significant expense and could adversely affect its brand image in our target markets, as well as our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

In 2019, View identified a quality issue with certain material purchased from one of its suppliers utilized in the manufacturing of certain IGUs. View stopped using the affected materials upon identification in 2019. As of December 31, 2019, View had a low warranty claim rate related to this matter. View has replaced and expects to continue to replace affected IGUs for the remainder of the period covered by the warranty. View analyzed the risk of failure of the affected IGUs by analyzing failure rate as a function of time required for the IGU to fail since it was installed, and the geographical region where the IGU was ultimately installed. Based on this analysis, View estimated the number of IGUs expected to fail in the remaining warranty period and applied an estimated cost to calculate the cost to replace the IGUs. The estimated cost includes View’s expectations regarding future reductions in production costs. Based on its analysis, View recognized $24.5 million of expense for the estimated future cost to replace defective IGUs classified in cost of revenue in View’s consolidated statement of comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2019. View recognized a corresponding warranty liability of $1.6 million in other current liabilities and $22.9 million in other liabilities on its consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2019. Considering the limited failure rate data available to-date, and the uncertainty inherent in the failure analysis and the projected costs to replace defective IGUs in future years, the actual timing, number of defective IGUs, and amount of costs to be incurred to replace the defective IGUs could be materially different from the estimate. There was no significant change in the warranty accrual in the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Risk Factors Relating to Technology

View must successfully maintain and upgrade View’s information technology systems.

View relies on various information technology systems to manage its operations, including general, non-proprietary information technology systems in its facility and proprietary information technology systems in its products. As necessary, View implements modifications and upgrades to these systems, and replaces certain of its legacy systems with successor systems with new functionality.

The technology and capital equipment View employs may become old or obsolete, which could require significant capital expenditures for upkeep and upgrade over time. View’s products and services interact with the hardware and software technology of systems and devices located at View’s business customers’ property. View may be required to implement new technologies or adapt existing technologies in response to changing market conditions, business customer preferences, industry standards or inability to secure necessary intellectual property licenses, which could require significant capital expenditures. View’s inability to adapt to changing technologies, market conditions or subscriber preferences in a timely manner could have a material adverse effect on View’s business, financial condition, cash flows or results of operations.

There are inherent costs and risks associated with modifying or changing these systems and implementing new systems, including potential disruption of View’s internal control structure, substantial capital expenditures, additional administration and operating expenses, retention of sufficiently skilled personnel to implement and operate the new systems, demands on management time and other risks and costs of delays or difficulties in transitioning to new systems or of integrating new systems into View’s current systems. While management seeks to identify and remediate issues, View can provide no assurance that View’s identification and remediation efforts will be successful or that View will not encounter additional issues as View completes the implementation of these and other systems. In addition, View’s information technology system implementations may not result in productivity improvements at a level that outweighs the costs of implementation, or at all. The implementation of new information technology systems may also cause disruptions in View’s business operations and have an adverse effect on View’s business, cash flows and operations.

67

View relies on certain third-party providers of licensed software and services integral to the operations of View’s business.

Certain aspects of the operation of View’s business may depend on third-party software and service providers. With regard to licensed software technology, View may become dependent upon the ability of third parties to maintain, enhance or develop their software and services on a timely and cost-effective basis, to meet industry technological standards and innovations to deliver software and services that are free of defects or security vulnerabilities, and to ensure their software and services are free from disruptions or interruptions. Further, these third-party services and software licenses may not always be available to View on commercially reasonable terms or at all.

If the third-party software or services become obsolete, fail to function properly, are incompatible with future versions of View’s products or services, or are defective or otherwise fail to address View’s needs, there is no assurance that View would be able to replace the functionality provided by any future third-party software or services with software or services from alternative providers. Any of these factors could have a material adverse effect on View’s financial condition, cash flows or results of operations.

Risk Factors Relating to Intellectual Property

View’s patent applications may not result in issued patents or its patent rights may be contested, circumvented, invalidated or limited in scope, any of which could have a material adverse effect on View’s ability to prevent others from interfering with its commercialization of its products.

View’s patent applications may not result in issued patents, which may have a material adverse effect on its ability to prevent others from commercially exploiting products similar to View’s. The status of patents involves complex legal and factual questions and the breadth of claims allowed is uncertain. As a result, View cannot be certain that the patent applications that it files will result in patents being issued, or that its patents and any patents that may be issued to View will afford protection against competitors with similar technology. Numerous patents and pending patent applications owned by others exist in the fields in which View has developed and is developing its technology. In addition to those who may claim priority, any of View’s existing or pending patents may also be challenged by others on the basis that they are otherwise invalid or unenforceable. Furthermore, patent applications filed in foreign countries are subject to laws, rules and procedures that differ from those of the United States, and thus View cannot be certain that foreign patent applications related to issued U.S. patents will be issued.

Even if View’s patent applications succeed and it is issued patents in accordance with them, it is still uncertain whether these patents will be contested, circumvented, invalidated or limited in scope in the future. The rights granted under any issued patents may not provide View with meaningful protection or competitive advantages, and some foreign countries provide significantly less effective patent enforcement than in the United States. In addition, the claims under any patents that issue from View’s patent applications may not be broad enough to prevent others from developing technologies that are similar or that achieve results similar to View’s. The intellectual property rights of others could also bar View from licensing and exploiting any patents that issue from its pending applications. In addition, patents issued to View may be infringed upon or designed around by others and others may obtain patents that it needs to license or design around, either of which would increase costs and may adversely affect its business, prospects, financial condition and operating results.

View may need to defend itself against and may face liability in respect of claims for infringing, misappropriating or otherwise violating the intellectual property rights of others, which may be time-consuming and could cause View to incur substantial costs and/or materially impact View’s ability to operate.

From time to time, legal action by View may be necessary to enforce View’s patents and other intellectual property rights, to protect View’s trade secrets, to determine the validity and scope of the intellectual property rights of others or to defend against claims of infringement, misappropriation or invalidity. Such litigation could

68

result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and could negatively affect View’s business, operating results and financial condition. Others, including View’s competitors, may hold or obtain patents, copyrights, trademarks or other proprietary rights that could prevent, limit or interfere with View’s ability to make, use, develop, or sell its products and services, which could make it more difficult for View to operate its business. View may receive inquiries from holders of patents or trademarks inquiring whether View is infringing their proprietary rights and/or seek court declarations that they do not infringe upon View’s intellectual property rights.

View may consider the entering into licensing agreements with respect to such rights, although no assurance can be given that such licenses can be obtained on acceptable terms or that litigation will not occur, and such licenses could significantly increase its operating expenses. Companies holding patents or other intellectual property rights relating to smart glass may bring suits alleging infringement of such rights or otherwise asserting their rights and seeking licenses. In addition, if View is determined to have infringed upon a third party’s intellectual property rights, it may be required to cease making, selling or incorporating certain components or intellectual property into the goods and services it offers, to pay substantial damages and/or license royalties, obtain a license from the holder of the infringed intellectual property right, which license may not be available on reasonable terms or at all, to redesign its products and services, and/or to establish and maintain alternative branding for its products and services. In the event that View was required to take one or more such actions, its business, prospects, operating results and financial condition could be materially adversely affected. In addition, any litigation or claims, whether or not valid, could result in substantial costs, negative publicity and diversion of resources and management attention.

View cannot be certain that View’s products and services or those of third parties that View incorporates into View’s products do not and will not infringe the intellectual property rights of others. Many of View’s competitors and others may now and in the future have significantly larger or more mature patent portfolios than View has. View has been in the past, and may be in the future, subject to claims based on allegations of infringement, misappropriation or other violations of the intellectual property rights of others, including litigation brought by competitors, potential competitors or special purpose or so-called “non-practicing” entities that focus solely on extracting royalties and settlements by enforcing intellectual property rights and against whom View’s patents may therefore provide little or no deterrence or protection.

Regardless of their merits, intellectual property claims divert the attention of View’s personnel and are often time-consuming and expensive. In addition, to the extent claims against View are successful, View may have to pay substantial monetary damages (including, for example, treble damages if View is found to have willfully infringed patents and increased statutory damages if View is found to have willfully infringed copyrights) or discontinue or modify certain products or services that are found to infringe another party’s rights or enter into licensing agreements with costly royalty payments. Defending against claims of infringement, misappropriation or other violations or being deemed to be infringing, misappropriating or otherwise violating the intellectual property rights of others could impair View’s ability to innovate, develop, distribute and sell View’s current and planned products and services. Furthermore, because of the substantial amount of discovery required in connection with intellectual property litigation, there is a risk that some of View’s confidential information could be compromised by the discovery process. View has in the past and will continue in the future to seek one or more licenses to continue offering certain products or services, which could have a material adverse effect on View’s business, financial condition, cash flows or results of operations. Although claims of this kind have not materially affected View’s business to date, there can be no assurance material claims will not arise in the future.

In some cases, View indemnifies certain parties against claims that View’s products infringe, misappropriate or otherwise violate the intellectual property rights of third parties. Such claims could arise out of View’s indemnification obligation with View’s partners and business customers, whom View typically indemnifies against such claims. Conversely, View may seek indemnification from its licensors under its license contracts with them. However, View’s rights to indemnification may be unavailable or insufficient to cover its costs and losses, depending on its use of the technology, whether it chooses to retain control over conduct of the litigation, and other factors.

69

Although third parties may offer a license to their technology or other intellectual property, the terms of any offered license may not be acceptable, and the failure to obtain a license or the costs associated with any license could cause View’s business, financial condition and results of operations to be materially and adversely affected. In addition, some licenses may be non-exclusive, and therefore View’s competitors may have access to the same technology licensed to View. If a third party does not offer View a license to its technology or other intellectual property on reasonable terms, or at all, View could be enjoined from continued use of such intellectual property. As a result, View may be required to develop alternative, non-infringing technology, which could require significant time (during which View could be unable to continue to offer View’s affected products, subscriptions or services), effort, and expense and may ultimately not be successful. Furthermore, a successful claimant could secure a judgment or View may agree to a settlement that prevents View from distributing certain products, providing certain subscriptions or performing certain services or that requires View to pay substantial damages, royalties or other fees. Any of these events could harm View’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

View may need to acquire intellectual property that if View is unable to obtain, or if View is unable to adequately protect its intellectual property, View could be competitively disadvantaged.

View’s intellectual property, including View’s patents, trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets and other proprietary rights, constitutes a significant part of View’s value. View’s success depends, in part, on View’s ability to protect View’s proprietary technology, brands and other intellectual property against dilution, infringement, misappropriation and competitive pressure. To protect View’s proprietary technology, View relies on a combination of patent, copyright and trade secret laws of the United States, Canada and other countries, a combination of confidentiality procedures, contractual provisions and other methods, all of which offer only limited protection. In addition, View may be required to acquire rights to intellectual property necessary for View’s operations in the future. However, there can be no assurance that these measures will be successful in any given case, particularly in those countries where the laws do not protect View’s proprietary rights as fully as in the United States. View may not be able to prevent unauthorized use of its intellectual property, which could harm its business and competitive position.

View owns a portfolio of issued U.S. and foreign patents and pending U.S. and foreign patent applications that relate to a variety of technologies utilized in View’s business. View may file additional patent applications in the future in the United States and internationally. The process of obtaining patent protection is expensive and time-consuming, and View may not be able to prosecute all necessary or desirable patent applications at a reasonable cost or in a timely manner all the way through to the successful issuance of a patent. View may choose not to seek patent protection for certain innovations and may choose not to pursue patent protection in certain jurisdictions. In addition, issuance of a patent does not guarantee that View has an absolute right to practice the patented invention.

Patent, copyright, trademark, and trade secret laws vary significantly throughout the world. A number of foreign countries do not protect intellectual property rights to the same extent as do the laws of the United States. Therefore, View’s intellectual property rights may not be as strong or as easily enforced outside of the United States and efforts to protect against the unauthorized use of View’s intellectual property rights, technology and other proprietary rights may be more expensive and difficult outside of the United States. Failure to adequately protect View’s intellectual property rights could result in its competitors using View’s intellectual property to offer products, potentially resulting in the loss of some of View’s competitive advantage and a decrease in its revenue which, would adversely affect its business, prospects, financial condition and operating results.

If View is unable to acquire the intellectual property rights it may require in the future or to adequately protect or assert View’s intellectual property rights, competitors may dilute View’s brands, manufacture and market similar products and services or convert View’s business customers, which could adversely affect View’s market share and results of operations. View may not receive patents or trademarks for all View’s pending patent and trademark applications, and existing or future patents may not provide competitive advantages for View’s

70

products and services. Furthermore, it is possible that the scope of View’s issued patents will be insufficient or not have the coverage originally sought, or that View’s issued patents will not provide View with any competitive advantages. View’s competitors may challenge, invalidate or avoid the application of View’s existing or future intellectual property rights that View obtains. In addition, patent rights may not prevent View’s competitors from developing, using or selling products or services that are similar to or address the same market as View’s products and services. The loss of protection for View’s intellectual property rights could reduce the market value of View’s brands and View’s products and services, reduce new business customer originations or sales upgrades to existing business customers, lower View’s profits, and could have a material adverse effect on View’s business, financial condition, cash flows or results of operations.

View’s policy is to require View’s employees that were hired to develop material intellectual property included in View’s products to execute written agreements in which they assign to View their rights in intellectual property created within the scope of their employment (or, with respect to consultants and service providers, their engagement to develop such intellectual property), but View cannot assure you that View has adequately protected View’s rights in every such agreement or that View has executed an agreement with every such party. Finally, in order to benefit from the protection of patents and other intellectual property rights, View must monitor and detect infringement, misappropriation or other violations of View’s intellectual property rights and pursue infringement, misappropriation or other claims in certain circumstances in relevant jurisdictions. Monitoring unauthorized use of View’s intellectual property is difficult and costly, and the steps View has taken or will take to prevent misappropriation may not be sufficient. As a result, View may not be able to obtain adequate protection or to effectively enforce View’s issued patents or other intellectual property rights. Any enforcement efforts View undertakes, including litigation, could be time-consuming and expensive and could divert management’s attention, which could harm its business, results of operations and financial condition. In addition, existing intellectual property laws and contractual remedies may afford less protection than needed to safeguard View’s intellectual property portfolio.

Despite View’s efforts to protect View’s proprietary technologies and View’s intellectual property rights, unauthorized parties, including View’s employees, consultants, service providers or business customers, may attempt to copy aspects of View’s products or obtain and use View’s trade secrets or other confidential information. View generally enters into confidentiality agreements with View’s employees and third parties that have access to View’s material confidential information, and generally limits access to and distribution of View’s proprietary information and proprietary technology through certain procedural safeguards. In addition, View seeks to protect its intellectual property rights through nondisclosure and invention assignment agreements with its employees and consultants, and through non-disclosure agreements with business partners and other third parties. These agreements may not effectively prevent unauthorized use or disclosure of View’s intellectual property or technology, could be breached or otherwise may not provide meaningful protection for View’s trade secrets and know-how related to the design, manufacture or operation of View’s products and may not provide an adequate remedy in the event of unauthorized use or disclosure. View cannot assure you that the steps taken by View will prevent misappropriation or infringement of View’s intellectual property rights. Competitors may independently develop technologies or products that are substantially equivalent or superior to View’s solutions or that inappropriately incorporate View’s proprietary technology or they may hire View’s former employees who may misappropriate View’s proprietary technology or misuse View’s confidential information. In addition, if View expands the geography of View’s service offerings, the laws of some foreign countries where View may do business in the future may not protect intellectual property rights and technology to the same extent as the laws of the United States, and these countries may not enforce these laws as diligently as government agencies and private parties in the United States.

If View is unable to protect View’s intellectual property and technology, View may find itself at a competitive disadvantage to others who need not incur the additional expense, time and effort required to create the innovative products that have enabled View to be successful to date.

71

Risk Factors Relating to Privacy and Security

View is continuously expanding and improving its information technology systems and uses security measures designed to protect its systems against breaches and cyber-attacks. If these efforts are not successful, View’s business and operations could be disrupted and its operating results and reputation could be harmed.

View is continuously expanding and improving its information technology systems, including implementing new internally developed systems, to assist it in the management of its business. In particular, View’s volume production of multiple products necessitates continued development, maintenance and improvement of its information technology systems in the U.S. and other locations abroad, which include product data management, procurement, inventory management, production planning and execution, sales, service and logistics, dealer management, financial, tax and regulatory compliance systems. View also maintains information technology measures designed to protect View against intellectual property theft, data breaches and other cyber-attacks. The implementation, maintenance and improvement of these systems require significant management time, support and cost. Moreover, there are inherent risks associated with developing, improving and expanding View’s core systems as well as implementing new systems, including the disruption of its data management, procurement, manufacturing execution, finance, supply chain and sales and service processes. These risks may affect View’s ability to manage its data and inventory, procure parts or supplies or manufacture, sell, and deliver products, or achieve and maintain compliance with, or realize available benefits under, tax laws and other applicable regulations.

View cannot be sure that these systems or their required functionality will be effectively implemented, maintained or expanded as planned. If View does not successfully implement, maintain or expand these systems as planned, its operations may be disrupted, its ability to accurately and/or timely report its financial results could be impaired, and deficiencies may arise in its internal control over financial reporting, which may impact its ability to certify its financial results. Moreover, View’s proprietary information could be compromised or misappropriated and its reputation may be adversely affected. If these systems or their functionality do not operate as View expects them to, View may be required to expend significant resources to make corrections or find alternative sources for performing these functions.

Any unauthorized control or manipulation of View’s products’ systems could result in loss of confidence in View and its products and harm View’s business.

View’s products contain complex information technology systems. View has designed, implemented and tested security measures intended to prevent unauthorized access to its information technology networks, its products and their systems. However, hackers may attempt to gain unauthorized access to modify, alter and use such networks, products and systems to gain control of, or to change, its products’ functionality, user interface and performance characteristics, or to gain access to data stored in or generated by its products. View encourages reporting of potential vulnerabilities in the security of its products via its security vulnerability reporting policy, and View aims to remedy any reported and verified vulnerability. However, there can be no assurance that vulnerabilities will not be exploited in the future before they can be identified, or that View’s remediation efforts are or will be successful.

Any unauthorized access to or control of View’s products or their systems or any loss of data could result in legal claims or proceedings. In addition, regardless of their veracity, reports of unauthorized access to View’s products, their systems or data, as well as other factors that may result in the perception that View’s products, their systems or data are capable of being “hacked,” could negatively affect View’s brand and harm its business, prospects, financial condition and operating results.

72

If View’s security controls are breached or unauthorized or inadvertent access to business customers’ information or other data are otherwise obtained, View’s services may be perceived as insecure, View may lose existing business customers or fail to attract new business customers, View’s business may be harmed, and View may incur significant liabilities.

View’s future products may involve the collection, storage, transmission and processing of personal, payment, credit and other confidential and private information of View’s business customers, and may in certain cases permit access to View’s business customers’ property or help secure them. Such future products that may present privacy and data risks may be subject to privacy and data protection laws and regulations. View also maintains and processes other confidential and proprietary information in View’s business, including View’s employees’ and contractors’ personal information and confidential business information. View relies on proprietary and commercially available systems, software, tools and monitoring to protect against unauthorized use or access of the information View processes and maintains. View’s services and the networks and information systems View utilizes in View’s business are at risk for breaches as a result of third-party action, employee, vendor or partner error, malfeasance, or other factors. For example, View may experience instances of View’s employees, contractors and other third parties improperly accessing View’s and/or View’s business customers’ systems and information in violation of View’s internal policies and procedures.

Criminals and other nefarious actors may use increasingly sophisticated methods, including cyberattacks, phishing, social engineering and other illicit acts to capture, access or alter various types of information, to engage in illegal activities such as fraud and identity theft, and to expose and exploit potential security and privacy vulnerabilities in corporate systems and websites. Unauthorized intrusion into the portions of View’s systems and networks and data storage devices that process and store business customers’ confidential and private information, the loss of such information or the deployment of malware or other harmful code to View’s services or View’s networks or systems may result in negative consequences, including the actual or alleged malfunction of View’s products or services. In addition, third parties, including View’s partners and vendors, could also be sources of security risks to View in the event of a failure of their own security systems and infrastructure. The threats View faces continue to evolve and are difficult to predict due to advances in computer capabilities, new discoveries in the field of cryptography and new and sophisticated methods used by criminals. There can be no assurances that View’s defensive measures will prevent cyber-attacks or that View will discover network or system intrusions or other breaches on a timely basis or at all. View cannot be certain that View will not suffer a compromise or breach of the technology protecting the systems or networks that house or access View’s products and services or on which View or View’s partners or vendors process or store personal information or other sensitive information or data, or that any such incident will not be believed or reported to have occurred. Any such actual or perceived compromises or breaches to systems, or unauthorized access to, or acquisition or loss of, data, whether suffered by View, View’s partners or vendors or other third parties, whether as a result of employee error or malfeasance or otherwise, could harm View’s business. They could, for example, cause interruptions in operations, loss of data, loss of confidence in View’s services and products and damage to View’s reputation, and could limit the adoption of View’s services and products. They could also subject View to costs, regulatory investigations and orders, litigation, contract damages, indemnity demands and other liabilities and materially and adversely affect View’s business customer base, sales, revenue and profits. Any of these could, in turn, have a material adverse impact on View’s business, financial condition, cash flows or results of operations.

Further, if a high profile security breach occurs with respect to another provider of smart glass, View’s existing and potential business customers may lose trust in the security of View’s services or in smart glass generally, which could adversely impact View’s ability to retain existing business customers or attract new ones. Even in the absence of any security breach, business customers’ concerns about security, privacy or data protection may deter them from using View’s service. View’s insurance policies covering errors and omissions and certain security and privacy damages and claim expenses may not be sufficient to compensate for all potential liability. Although View maintains cyber liability insurance, View cannot be certain that View’s insurance coverage will be adequate for liabilities actually incurred or that insurance will continue to be available to View on economically reasonable terms, or at all.

73

Risk Factors Relating to Regulations

View’s products and its website, systems, and data it maintains may be subject to intentional disruption, other security incidents, or alleged violations of laws, regulations, or other obligations relating to data handling that could result in liability and adversely impact its reputation and future sales.

View may face significant challenges with respect to information security and maintaining the security and integrity of its systems and other systems used in its business, as well as with respect to the data stored on or processed by these systems. Advances in technology, an increased level of sophistication, and an increased level of expertise of hackers, new discoveries in the field of cryptography or others can result in a compromise or breach of the systems used in its business or of security measures used in its business to protect confidential information, personal information, and other data.

The availability and effectiveness of View’s products, and View’s ability to conduct its business and operations, depend on the continued operation of information technology and communications systems, some of which View has yet to develop or otherwise obtain the ability to use. Systems used in View’s business, including data centers and other information technology systems, will be vulnerable to damage or interruption. Such systems could also be subject to break-ins, sabotage and intentional acts of vandalism, as well as disruptions and security incidents as a result of non-technical issues, including intentional or inadvertent acts or omissions by employees, service providers, or others. View anticipates using outsourced service providers to help provide certain services, and any such outsourced service providers face similar security and system disruption risks as View. Some of the systems used in View’s business will not be fully redundant, and its disaster recovery planning cannot account for all eventualities. Any data security incidents or other disruptions to any data centers or other systems used in View’s business could result in lengthy interruptions in its service.

View’s products and services are subject to substantial regulations, which are evolving, and unfavorable changes or failure by View to comply with these regulations could substantially harm its business and operating results.

Smart glass is subject to substantial regulation under international, federal, state and local laws. View incurs significant costs in complying with these regulations and may be required to incur additional costs to comply with any changes to such regulations, and any failures to comply could result in significant expenses, delays or fines. View may become subject to laws and regulations applicable to the supply, manufacture, import, sale and service of smart internationally. For example, in countries outside of the U.S., View may be required to meet standards relating to safety that are often materially different from requirements in the U.S., thus resulting in additional investment into the products and systems to ensure regulatory compliance in those countries. This process may include official review and certification of View’s products by foreign regulatory agencies prior to market entry, as well as compliance with foreign reporting and recall management systems requirements.

View is subject to various government regulations that could impose substantial costs upon View and negatively impact its ability to operate its manufacturing facility.

As a manufacturing company, including with respect to its facility in Olive Branch, Mississippi, View is and will be subject to complex environmental, manufacturing, health and safety laws and regulations, including laws relating to the use, handling, storage, recycling, disposal and human exposure to hazardous materials. The costs of compliance, including remediating contamination if any is found on our properties and any changes to our operations mandated by new or amended laws, may be significant. View may also face unexpected delays in obtaining permits and approvals required by such laws in connection with its manufacturing facility, which would hinder its operation of this and future facilities. Such costs and delays may adversely impact View’s business prospects and operating results. Furthermore, any violations of these laws may result in substantial fines and penalties, remediation costs, third party damages, or a suspension or cessation of View’s operations. View may also be subject to anti-corruption, anti-bribery, anti-money laundering, financial and economic sanctions and similar laws, for instance, in connection with its sales to airports. Non-compliance with such laws can subject

74

View to administrative, civil and criminal fines and penalties, collateral consequences, remedial measures and legal expenses, all of which could adversely affect its business, results of operations, financial condition and reputation.

There may be laws in jurisdictions View has not yet entered or laws it is unaware of in jurisdictions it has entered that may restrict its sales or other business practices. The laws in this area can be complex, difficult to interpret and may change over time. Continued regulatory limitations and other obstacles that may interfere with View’s ability to commercialize its products could have a negative and material impact on its business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

Many of View’s products must comply with local building codes and ordinances, and failure of View’s products to comply with such codes and ordinances may have an adverse effect on its business.

Many of View’s products must comply with local building codes and ordinances. Building codes may also affect the products View’s customers are allowed to use, and, consequently, changes in building codes may also affect the sale of View’s products. These codes and ordinances are subject to future government review and interpretation. If View’s products fail to comply with such local building codes or ordinances, its ability to market and sell such products would be impaired. Also, should these codes and ordinances be amended or expanded, or should new laws and regulations be enacted, View could incur additional costs or become subject to requirements or restrictions that requires View to modify its products or adversely affect its ability to market and sell its products. If View’s products do not adequately or quickly adapt to building standards, View may lose market share to competitors, which would adversely affect its business, results of operation, financial condition, and cash flows. Furthermore, failure of View’s products to comply with such codes or ordinances could subject it to negative publicity or damage its reputation.

Compliance with the regulations of the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (“OSHA”) can be costly, and non-compliance with such requirements may result in potentially significant monetary penalties, operational delays, negative publicity and adverse effect on View’s financial condition.

View’s operations are subject to regulation under OSHA and other state and local laws and regulations. OSHA establishes certain employer responsibilities, including maintenance of a workplace free of recognized hazards likely to cause death or serious injury, compliance with standards promulgated by the applicable regulatory authorities and various recordkeeping, disclosure and procedural requirements. Changes to OSHA requirements, or stricter interpretation or enforcement of existing laws or regulations, could result in increased costs. If View fails to comply with applicable OSHA regulations, even if no work-related serious injury or death occurs, it may be subject to civil or criminal enforcement and be required to pay substantial penalties, incur significant capital expenditures or suspend or limit operations. Any such accidents, citations, violations, injuries or failure to comply with industry best practices may subject View to adverse publicity, damage its reputation and competitive position and adversely affect its business.

View has incurred and will continue to incur, capital and operating expenditures and other costs in the ordinary course of business in complying with OSHA and other state, local and foreign laws and regulations. While View has invested, and will continue to invest, substantial resources in worker health and safety programs, there can be no assurance that View will avoid significant liability exposure. Personal injury claims for damages, including for bodily injury or loss of life, could result in substantial costs and liabilities, which could materially and adversely affect View’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. In addition, if View’s safety record were to substantially deteriorate, or if it suffered substantial penalties or criminal prosecution for violation of health and safety regulations, business customers could cancel existing contracts and not award future business to View, which could materially adversely affect its liquidity, cash flows and results of operations.

75

View is subject to labor and employment laws and regulations, which could increase View’s costs and restrict View’s operations in the future.

View’s business is subject to a variety of employment laws and regulations and may become subject to additional such requirements in the future. Although View believes View is in material compliance with applicable employment laws and regulations, in the event of a change in requirements, View may be required to modify View’s operations or to utilize resources to maintain compliance with such laws and regulations. Moreover, View may be subject to various employment-related claims, such as individual or class actions or government enforcement actions relating to alleged employment discrimination, employee classification and related withholding, wage-hour disputes, labor standards or healthcare and benefit issues. View’s failure to comply with applicable employment laws and regulations and related legal actions against View may affect View’s ability to compete or have a material adverse effect on View’s business, financial condition, cash flows or results of operations.

Failure to comply with various privacy and data protection laws and regulations relating to privacy and data protection and information security to which View is subject could harm View.

View’s products may process, transmit and store personal, payment and other confidential and private information of View’s business customers, thus posing a privacy and data risk in the future. View’s privacy policy is posted on its website, and any failure by it or other partners to comply with it or with federal, state or international privacy, data protection or security laws or regulations could result in regulatory or litigation-related actions against View, legal liability, fines, damages and other costs. Substantial expenses and operational changes may be required in connection with maintaining compliance with such laws, and in particular certain emerging privacy laws are still subject to a high degree of uncertainty as to their interpretation and application. Although View takes steps to protect the security of its business customers’ personal information, it may be required to expend significant resources to comply with data breach requirements if third parties improperly obtain and use the personal information of View’s business customers or it otherwise experiences a data loss with respect to business customers’ personal information. A major breach of View’s network security and systems could have negative consequences for its business and future prospects, including possible fines, penalties and damages, reduced demand for its products and harm to its reputation and brand.

View’s collection, retention, transfer and use of this information may be governed by U.S. and foreign laws and regulations relating to privacy, data protection and information security, industry standards and protocols, or it may be asserted that such industry standards or protocols apply to View. The regulatory framework for privacy and information security issues worldwide is rapidly evolving and is likely to remain uncertain for the foreseeable future. In North America, federal and various state and provincial governmental bodies and agencies have adopted or are considering adopting laws and regulations limiting, or laws and regulations regarding the collection, distribution, use, disclosure, storage, and security of certain categories of information. Some of these requirements include obligations of companies to notify individuals of security breaches involving particular personal information, which could result from exploitation of a vulnerability in View’s systems or services or breaches experienced by View’s service providers and/or partners. For example, the State of California enacted the California Consumer Privacy ACT (“CCPA”), effective in January 2020. The CCPA expands the scope of what is considered “personal information” and creates new data access and opt-out rights for consumers, which may create new requirements for View and other companies that operate in California.

Many jurisdictions have established their own data security and privacy legal and regulatory frameworks with which View or View’s vendors or partners must comply to the extent View’s operations expand into these geographies or the laws and regulations in these frameworks otherwise may be interpreted to apply to View. Laws and regulations in these jurisdictions apply broadly to the collection, use, storage, disclosure and security of data that identifies or may be used to identify or locate an individual, such as names, email addresses and, in some jurisdictions, internet protocol addresses. View is also bound by contractual requirements relating to privacy, data protection and information security, and may agree to additional contractual requirements addressing these matters from time to time.

76

View’s compliance with these various requirements increases View’s operating costs, and additional laws, regulations, standards or protocols (or new interpretations of existing laws, regulations, standards or protocols) in these areas may further increase View’s operating costs and adversely affect View’s ability to effectively market View’s products and services. In view of new or modified legal obligations relating to privacy, data protection or information security, or any changes in their interpretation, View may find it necessary or desirable to fundamentally change View’s business activities and practices or to expend significant resources to modify View’s products and services and otherwise adapt to these changes. View may be unable to make such changes and modifications in a commercially reasonable manner or at all, and View’s ability to develop new services and features could be limited.

Further, View’s failure or perceived failure to comply with any of these laws, regulations, standards, protocols or other obligations could result in a loss of business customers’ data, fines, sanctions and other liabilities and additional restrictions on View’s collection, transfer or use of business customers’ data. In addition, View’s failure to comply with any of these laws, regulations, standards, protocols or other obligations could result in a material adverse effect on View’s reputation, business customer attrition, new business customer origination, financial condition, cash flows or results of operations.

View may fail to obtain or maintain necessary licenses or otherwise fail to comply with applicable laws and regulations.

View’s business focuses on contracts and transactions with business customers and therefore is subject to a variety of laws, regulations and licensing requirements that govern View’s interactions with business customers, including those pertaining to privacy and data security, business customer financial transactions and warranties. View is a licensed service provider in each market where such licensure is required. View’s business may become subject to additional such requirements in the future. In certain jurisdictions, View is also required to obtain licenses or permits to comply with standards governing marketing and sales efforts, servicing of business customers, monitoring station employee selection and training and to meet certain standards in the conduct of View’s business. These laws and regulations are dynamic and subject to potentially differing interpretations, and various legislative and regulatory bodies may expand current laws or regulations or enact new laws and regulations regarding these matters. View strives to comply with all applicable laws and regulations relating to View’s interactions with business customers. It is possible, however, that these requirements may be interpreted and applied in a manner that is inconsistent from one jurisdiction to another and may conflict with other rules or View’s practices. View’s non-compliance with any such law or regulations could also expose View to claims, proceedings, litigation and investigations by private parties and regulatory authorities, as well as substantial fines and negative publicity, each of which may materially and adversely affect View’s business. Delays in obtaining, or failing to obtain, approvals or rights, such as permitting, interconnection, or land usage approvals or rights, could affect View’s business customers’ builds. View may incur significant expenses to comply with such laws and regulations, and increased regulation of matters relating to View’s interactions with business customers could require View to modify View’s operations and incur significant additional expenses, which could have an adverse effect on View’s business, financial condition and results of operations. If View expands the scope of View’s products or services or View’s operations in new markets, View may be required to obtain additional licenses and otherwise maintain compliance with additional laws, regulations or licensing requirements.

Changes in these laws or regulations or their interpretation, as well as new laws, regulations or licensing requirements which may be enacted, could dramatically affect how View does business, acquire business customers, and manage and use information View collects from and about current and prospective customers and the costs associated therewith. In addition, federal, state and local governmental authorities have considered, and may in the future consider, implementing consumer protection rules and regulations, which could impose significant constraints on View’s sales channels.

77

View is subject to requirements relating to environmental and safety regulations and environmental remediation matters which could adversely affect its business, results of operation and reputation.

View is subject to federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations governing, among other things, solid and hazardous waste storage, treatment and disposal, and remediation of releases of hazardous materials. View’s suppliers are also subject to federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations, and their use of hazardous materials may adversely impact their operations and the availability of raw materials. While View adapts its manufacturing and distribution processes to the environmental control standards of regulatory authorities, it cannot completely eliminate the risk of accidental contamination or injury from hazardous or regulated materials, including injury of its employees, individuals who handle its products, or others who claim to have been exposed to its products, nor can View completely eliminate the unanticipated interruption or suspension of operations at its facilities due to such events. View may be held liable for significant damages or fines in the event of contamination or injury, and such assessed damages or fines could have an adverse effect on its financial performance and results of operations.

There are capital, operating and other costs associated with compliance with these environmental laws and regulations. Environmental laws and regulations may become more stringent in the future, which could increase costs of compliance or require View to manufacture with alternative technologies and materials. Non-compliance with such regulations may include litigation, regulation, fines, increased insurance premiums, mandates to temporarily halt production, workers’ compensation claims, or other actions that impact the company brand, finances, or ability to operate.

View may face regulatory limitations on its ability to sell products directly which could materially and adversely affect its ability to sell its products.

View sells its products directly to business customers. There may be laws in jurisdictions View has not yet entered or laws View is unaware of in jurisdictions it has entered that may restrict its sales or other business practices. Even for those jurisdictions View has analyzed, the laws in this area can be complex, difficult to interpret and may change over time. Continued regulatory limitations and other obstacles interfering with View’s ability to sell products directly to business customers could have a negative and material impact its business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

Risk Factors Relating to Liabilities

View could be subject to liability, penalties and other restrictive sanctions and adverse consequences arising out of certain governmental investigations and proceedings.

View may cooperate with certain government investigations. However, View cannot predict the outcome or impact of any future potential matters, and there exists the possibility that View could be subject to liability, penalties and other restrictive sanctions and adverse consequences if the SEC, the United States Department of Justice, or any other government agency were to pursue legal action in the future. Moreover, View expects to incur costs in responding to related requests for information and subpoenas, and if instituted, in defending against any governmental proceedings.

View’s insurance strategy may not be adequate to protect it from all business risks.

View may be subject, in the ordinary course of business, to losses resulting from products liability, accidents, acts of God and other claims against it, for which it may have no insurance coverage. A loss that is uninsured or which exceeds policy limits may require View to pay substantial amounts, which could adversely affect its financial condition and operating results.

View is subject to all of the ordinary course operating hazards and risks that may come with the provision of View’s products and services and business operations. In addition to contractual provisions limiting View’s

78

liability to business customers and third parties, View maintains insurance policies in such amounts and with such coverage and deductibles as required by law and that View believe are reasonable and prudent. Nevertheless, such insurance may not be adequate to protect View from all the liabilities and expenses that may arise from claims for personal injury, death or property damage arising in the ordinary course of View’s business and current levels of insurance may not be able to be maintained or be available at economical prices. If a significant liability claim is brought against View that is not covered by insurance, then View may have to pay the claim with View’s own funds, which could have a material adverse effect on View’s business, financial condition, cash flows or results of operations. View may not be able to secure additional product liability insurance coverage on commercially acceptable terms or at reasonable costs when needed, particularly if it does face liability for its products and are forced to make a claim under its policy.

Litigation, complaints or adverse publicity or unauthorized use of View’s brand name could negatively impact View’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

From time to time, View engages in the defense of, and may in the future be subject to, certain investigations, claims and lawsuits arising in the ordinary course of View’s business including, without limitation, commercial or contractual disputes, including warranty claims and other disputes with potential business customers and suppliers, intellectual property matters, personal injury claims (e.g., OSHA), environmental issues, tax matters and employment matters. It is difficult to predict the outcome or ultimate financial exposure, if any, represented by these matters, and there can be no assurance that any such exposure will not be material. Any resulting actions or negative publicity could reduce the volume of View’s new business customer origination or increase attrition of existing business customers. Any of the foregoing may materially and adversely affect View’s business, financial condition, cash flows or results of operations.

Unauthorized use of View’s brand name by third parties may also adversely affect View’s business and reputation, including the perceived quality and reliability of View’s products and services. View relies on trademark law, internal policies and agreements with View’s employees, business customers, business partners and others to protect the value of View’s brand name. Despite View’s precautions, View cannot provide assurance that those procedures are sufficiently effective to protect against unauthorized third-party use of View’s brand name. View may not be successful in investigating, preventing or prosecuting all unauthorized third-party use of View’s brand name. Future litigation with respect to such unauthorized use could also result in substantial costs and diversion of View’s resources. These factors could adversely affect View’s reputation, business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

View may become subject to product liability claims, which could harm its financial condition and liquidity if View is not able to successfully defend or insure against such claims.

Although View designs its products and tempers its glass to be the safest smart glass in the industry, product liability claims, even those without merit, could harm its business, prospects, operating results and financial condition. View faces inherent risk of exposure to claims in the event its products do not perform or are claimed to not have performed as expected. A successful product liability claim against View could require it to pay a substantial monetary award. Moreover, a product liability claim could generate substantial negative publicity about it products and business and could have a material adverse effect on it brand, business, prospects and operating results.

View’s current and future warranty reserves may be insufficient to cover future warranty claims which could adversely affect its financial performance.

If View’s warranty reserves are inadequate to cover future warranty claims on its products, its business, prospects, financial condition and operating results could be materially and adversely affected. View evaluates warranty reserves on an ongoing basis and record liabilities for matters in which losses are probable and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. In 2019, View identified a quality issue with certain material

79

purchased from one of its suppliers utilized in the manufacturing of certain IGUs. View stopped using the affected materials upon identification in 2019. As of December 31, 2019, View had a low warranty claim rate related to this matter. View has replaced and expects to continue to replace affected IGUs for the remainder of the period covered by the warranty. View analyzed the risk of failure of the affected IGUs by analyzing failure rate as a function of time required for the IGU to fail since it was installed, and the geographical region where the IGU was ultimately installed. Based on this analysis, View estimated the number of IGUs expected to fail in the remaining warranty period and applied an estimated cost to calculate the cost to replace the IGUs. The estimated cost includes View’s expectations regarding future reductions in production costs. Based on its analysis, View recognized $24.5 million of expense for the estimated future cost to replace defective IGUs classified in cost of revenue in View’s consolidated statement of comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2019. View recognized a corresponding warranty liability of $1.6 million in other current liabilities and $22.9 million in other liabilities on its consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2019. Considering the limited failure rate data available to-date, and the uncertainty inherent in the failure analysis and the projected costs to replace defective IGUs in future years, the actual timing, number of defective IGUs, and amount of costs to be incurred to replace the defective IGUs could be materially different from the estimate. There was no significant change in the warranty accrual in the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

View’s business may be adversely affected by any disruptions caused by union activities.

Although View’s employees are currently not unionized and it has not experienced any work stoppages since its inception, it is not uncommon for employees at manufacturing companies to belong to a union, which can result in higher employee costs and increased risk of work stoppages. Although View works diligently to provide the best possible work environment for its employees, its employees may decide to join or seek recognition to form a labor union in the future, or View may be required to become a union signatory. If a work stoppage occurs, it could delay the manufacture and sale of View’s products and have a material adverse effect on its business, prospects, operating results or financial condition.

Risk Factors Relating to Debt and Credit

View’s debt agreements contain covenant restrictions that may limit its ability to operate its business.

The terms of certain of View’s debt agreements, including its revolving debt facility, contain, and any of its other future debt agreements may contain, covenant restrictions that limit View’s ability to operate its business, including restrictions on its ability to, among other things, incur additional debt or issue guarantees, create liens, repurchase stock or make other restricted payments, and make certain voluntary prepayments of specified debt.

As a result of these covenants, View’s ability to respond to changes in business and economic conditions and engage in beneficial transactions, including to obtain additional financing as needed, may be restricted. Furthermore, View’s failure to comply with its debt covenants could result in a default under such debt agreement which could, after any applicable grace period, result in an event of default and permit the applicable lender to accelerate all outstanding advances thereunder and terminate the debt agreement. If any of View’s debt is accelerated, View may not have sufficient funds available to repay it.

View’s debt agreements are secured by a security interest in substantially all of View’s assets.

Substantially all of View’s assets are used to secure View’s obligations under its debt agreements. In the event of a default under these agreements, substantially all of View’s assets could be subject to liquidation by the applicable lender, which liquidation could result in no assets being left for the equity holders after the applicable lender receives its required payment. In such an event, View would be required to seek alternative sources of liquidity, and there can be no assurance that any alternative source of liquidity would be available on terms acceptable to View, or at all.

80

Servicing View’s indebtedness requires a significant amount of cash, and there is no guarantee that View will have sufficient cash flow from its business to pay its substantial indebtedness.

As of September 30, 2020, View and View Canada had outstanding $265.4M in aggregate principal amount of indebtedness. View’s substantial consolidated indebtedness may increase its vulnerability to any generally adverse economic and industry conditions. View and View Canada may, subject to the limitations in the terms of View’s existing and future indebtedness, incur additional debt, secure existing or future debt or recapitalize its debt.

View’s ability to make scheduled payments of the principal and interest on its indebtedness when due or to refinance its indebtedness as it may need or desire depends on View’s future performance, which is subject to economic, financial, competitive and other factors beyond its control. View’s business may not continue to generate cash flow from operations in the future sufficient to satisfy its obligations under its existing indebtedness, and any future indebtedness it may incur, and to make necessary capital expenditures. If View is unable to generate such cash flow, it may be required to adopt one or more alternatives, such as reducing or delaying investments or capital expenditures, selling assets, refinancing or obtaining additional equity capital on terms that may be onerous or highly dilutive. View’s ability to refinance existing or future indebtedness will depend on the capital markets and its financial condition at such time. In addition, View’s ability to make payments may be limited by law, by regulatory authority or by agreements governing its future indebtedness. View may not be able to engage in any of these activities or engage in these activities on desirable terms or at all, which could result in a default on its existing or future indebtedness and have a material adverse effect on its business, results of operations and financial condition. For further details about View’s liquidity and capital needs, see “Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

Adverse developments in the credit markets may impair View’s ability to secure debt financing.

In past economic downturns, such as the financial crisis in the United States that began in mid-2007 and during other times of extreme market volatility, many commercial banks and other financial institutions stopped lending or significantly curtailed their lending activity. In addition, in an effort to stem losses and reduce their exposure to segments of the economy deemed to be high risk, some financial institutions limited routine refinancing and loan modification transactions and even reviewed the terms of existing facilities to identify bases for accelerating the maturity of existing lending facilities. In the past year the United States and global economies suffered dramatic downturns as the result of the COVID-19 pandemic, a deterioration in the credit markets and related financial crisis as well as a variety of other factors including, among other things, extreme volatility in security prices, severely diminished liquidity and credit availability, ratings downgrades of certain investments and declining valuations of others. If these conditions recur or persist, it may be difficult for View to obtain desired financing to finance the growth of its investments on acceptable economic terms, or at all.

So far, the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in, and until fully resolved is likely to continue to result in, among other things, increased draws by borrowers on revolving lines of credit and increased requests by borrowers for amendments, modifications and waivers of their credit agreements to avoid default or change payment terms, increased defaults by such borrowers and/or increased difficulty in obtaining refinancing at the maturity dates of their loans. In addition, the duration and effectiveness of responsive measures implemented by governments and central banks cannot be predicted. The commencement, continuation, or cessation of government and central bank policies and economic stimulus programs, including changes in monetary policy involving interest rate adjustments or governmental policies, may contribute to the development of or result in an increase in market volatility, illiquidity and other adverse effects that could negatively impact the credit markets and View.

If View is unable to consummate credit facilities on commercially reasonable terms, its liquidity may be reduced significantly. If View is unable to repay amounts outstanding under any facility it may enter into and are declared in default or are unable to renew or refinance any such facility, it would limit its ability to initiate

81

significant originations or to operate its business in the normal course. These situations may arise due to circumstances that View may be unable to control, such as inaccessibility of the credit markets, a severe decline in the value of the U.S. dollar, a further economic downturn or an operational problem that affects third parties or View, and could materially damage its business. Moreover, View is unable to predict when economic and market conditions may become more favorable. Even if such conditions improve broadly and significantly over the long term, adverse conditions in particular sectors of the financial markets could adversely impact its business.

Risk Factors Relating to Financial Results and Ownership of the Combined Entity’s Class A Common Stock following the Merger

Loss of a major customer could result in a decrease in View’s future sales and earnings.

In any given quarter or year, sales of View’s products may be concentrated in a few major customers, including glaziers and low voltage electricians. For the year ended December 31, 2019, one customer accounted for 11.0% of total revenue. For the year ended December 31, 2018, there were no customers greater than 10.0% of total revenue. Two customers accounted for 20.9% and 14.4% of accounts receivable, net as of December 31, 2019 and two customers accounted for 28.9% and 10.1% of accounts receivable, net as of December 31, 2018. View anticipates that a limited number of customers in any given period may account for a substantial portion of its total net revenue for the foreseeable future. The business risks associated with this concentration, including increased credit risks for these and other customers and the possibility of related bad debt write-offs, could negatively affect View’s margins and profits. Additionally, the loss of a major customer, whether through competition or consolidation, or a disruption in sales to such a customer, could result in a decrease of View’s future sales and earnings.

If View is unable to achieve its targeted manufacturing costs for its products, View’s financial condition and operating results will suffer.

While View is continuing to and expects in the future to realize cost reductions by both it and its suppliers, including through increased production, there is no guarantee View will be able to achieve sufficient cost savings to reach its gross margin and profitability goals, or its other financial targets. View incurs significant costs related to procuring the materials required to manufacture its products and compensating its personnel. If View’s efforts to continue to decrease manufacturing costs are not successful, it may incur substantial costs or cost overruns in utilizing and increasing the production capability of its manufacturing facility. Many of the factors that impact View’s manufacturing costs are beyond its control, such as potential increases in the costs of its materials and components. If View is unable to continue to control and reduce its manufacturing costs, its operating results, business and prospects will be harmed.

View’s business model of manufacturing smart glass is capital-intensive, and View may not be able to raise additional capital on attractive terms, if at all, which could be dilutive to stockholders. If View cannot raise additional capital when needed, its operations and prospects could be materially and adversely affected.

The development, design, manufacture and sale of View’s products is a capital-intensive business, for which View has already invested significant amounts of capital at its facility. As a result of its investments of capital, View maintains a facility with an operating line that can meet its near-term projections for sale and production. Over time, until View is consistently generating positive free cash flows, View expects that it will need to raise additional funds, including through the issuance of equity, equity-related or debt securities or through obtaining credit from financial institutions to fund, together with View’s principal sources of liquidity, ongoing costs such as research and development relating to its products, any significant unplanned or accelerated expenses, new strategic investments, or refinancing of View’s significant consolidated indebtedness, even if not required to do so by the terms of such indebtedness. View cannot be certain that additional capital will be available on attractive terms, if at all, when needed, which could be dilutive to stockholders, and its financial condition, results of operations, business and prospects could be adversely affected.

Additionally, View uses capital from third-party investors to enable its business customers access to its products. The availability of this financing depends upon many factors, including the confidence of the investors

82

in the smart glass industry, the quality and mix of View’s business customer contracts, any regulatory changes impacting the economics of its existing business customer contracts, changes in law (including tax law), risks or government incentives associated with these financings, and its ability to compete with other smart glass companies for the limited number of potential investors. Moreover, while interest rates remain at low levels, they have risen in recent periods. If the rate of return required by investors rises as a result of a rise in interest rates, it will reduce the present value of the business customer payment streams underlying, and therefore the total value of, View’s financing structures, increasing its cost of capital. If View is unable to establish new financing funds on favorable terms for third-party ownership arrangements, its cost of capital could increase and its liquidity may be negatively impacted, which would have an adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations.

View may fail to meet its publicly announced guidance or other expectations about its business in the future, which could cause the Combined Entity’s future stock price to be adversely affected.

View may provide guidance in the future regarding its expected financial and business performance, such as projections regarding sales and production, as well as anticipated future revenue, gross margins, profitability and cash flows. Correctly identifying key factors affecting business conditions and predicting future events is inherently an uncertain process, and View’s guidance may not ultimately be accurate, such as the timing of new product manufacturing ramps. View’s guidance may be based on certain assumptions such as those relating to global and local economic conditions, anticipated production and sales volumes (which generally are not linear throughout a given period), average sales prices, supplier and commodity costs and planned cost reductions. If View’s guidance is not accurate or varies from actual results due to its inability to meet its assumptions or the impact on its financial performance that could occur as a result of various risks and uncertainties, the market value of the Combined Entity Common Stock could be adversely affected in the future.

Future sales, or the perception of future sales, by the Combined Entity or its stockholders in the public market following the Merger could cause the market price for the Combined Entity Class A Common Stock to decline.

The sale of shares of the Combined Entity Class A Common Stock in the public market, or the perception that such sales could occur, could harm the prevailing market price of shares of the Combined Entity Class A Common Stock. These sales, or the possibility that these sales may occur, also might make it more difficult for the Combined Entity to sell equity securities in the future at a time and at a price that it deems appropriate.

Upon consummation of the Merger, the Combined Entity will have a total of approximately 217,474,302 shares of the Combined Entity Common Stock outstanding. Except for shares subject to lock-up as further descried herein, all shares issued in the Merger will be freely tradable without registration under the Securities Act, and without restriction by persons other than the Combined Entity’s “affiliates” (as defined under Rule 144 of the Securities Act, “Rule 144”), including the Combined Entity’s directors, executive officers and other affiliates.

As described herein, the Founder Shares, which will be converted into shares of Combined Entity Class A Common Stock, are subject to lock-up. In addition, on November 30, 2020, View entered into the Lock-Up Agreements restricting the transfer of CF II securities held by such contracting parties immediately following the Closing Date until the earlier of: (i) six (6) months after the Closing, or (ii) the date after the Closing on which CF II consummates a liquidation, merger, share exchange, reorganization, tender offer or other similar transaction after the Closing which results in all of CF II’s stockholders having the right to exchange their equity holdings in CF II for cash, securities or other property.

Following completion of the Merger, assuming that no additional registration rights agreement is entered into with existing stockholders of View, the shares covered by registration rights would represent approximately 50.7% of the outstanding shares of the Combined Entity Common Stock assuming no redemptions and 62.2% of the outstanding shares of the Combined Entity Common Stock assuming maximum redemptions.

83

In addition, the shares of the Combined Entity Class A Common Stock reserved for future issuance under the Combined Entity’s equity incentive plans 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. A total of 58,140,953 shares of the Combined Entity Class A Common Stock are expected to be reserved for future issuance under its equity incentive plans. The Combined Entity is expected to file one or more registration statements on Form S-8 under the Securities Act to register shares of the Combined Entity Class A Common Stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of the Combined Entity Class A Common Stock issued pursuant to the Combined Entity’s equity incentive plans. 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.

In the future, the Combined Entity may also issue its securities in connection with investments or acquisitions. The amount of shares of the Combined Entity Class A Common Stock issued in connection with an investment or acquisition could constitute a material portion of the Combined Entity’s then-outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock. Any issuance of additional securities in connection with investments or acquisitions may result in additional dilution to the Combined Entity’s stockholders.

View is exposed to fluctuations in currency exchange rates, which could affect its financial results.

A small portion of View’s revenue has been denominated in Canadian Dollars. Accordingly, View may be adversely affected by currency fluctuations in the U.S. Dollar versus Canadian Dollar. Weaker foreign currencies relative to the U.S. Dollar may result in lower levels of reported revenue with respect to foreign currency-denominated sales on View’s U.S. Dollar-denominated financial statements. Foreign exchange rates are influenced by many factors outside of View’s control, including but not limited to: changing supply and demand for a particular currency, monetary policies of governments (including exchange-control programs, restrictions on local exchanges or markets and limitations on foreign investment in a country or an investment by residents of a country in other countries), changes in balances of payments and trade, trade restrictions and currency devaluations and revaluations. The resulting fluctuations in the exchange rates for the other currencies could have an adverse effect on View’s financial condition and results of operations.

View is subject to collection risks.

View may face normal collection risks with business customers and suppliers. If View fails to collect from its business customers, View’s business and operating results could be adversely affected.

Risk Factors Relating to Acquisitions

Future transactions could pose risks.

View frequently evaluates strategic opportunities both within and outside View’s existing lines of business. View expects from time to time to pursue additional business opportunities and may decide to eliminate or acquire certain businesses, products or services. There are various risks and uncertainties associated with potential acquisitions and divestitures, including: (i) availability of financing; (ii) difficulties related to integrating previously separate businesses into a single unit, including product and service offerings, distribution and operational capabilities and business cultures; (iii) general business disruption; (iv) managing the integration process; (v) diversion of management’s attention from day-to-day operations, (vi) assumption of costs and liabilities of an acquired business, including unforeseen or contingent liabilities or liabilities in excess of the amounts estimated; (vii) failure to realize anticipated benefits and synergies, such as cost savings and revenue enhancements; (viii) potentially substantial costs and expenses associated with acquisitions and dispositions; (ix) failure to retain and motivate key employees; and (x) difficulties in applying View’s internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures to an acquired business. Any or all of these risks and

84

uncertainties, individually or collectively, could have material adverse effect on View’s business, financial condition, cash flow or results of operations. View can offer no assurance that any such strategic opportunities will prove to be successful. Among other negative effects, View’s pursuit of such opportunities could cause View’s cost of investment in new business customers to grow at a faster rate than View’s recurring revenue and fees collected at the time of sale. Additionally, any new product or service offerings could require developmental investments or have higher cost structures than View’s current arrangements, which could reduce operating margins and require more working capital.

View’s business could be materially adversely affected as a result of the risks associated with acquisitions and investments. In particular, View may not succeed in making acquisitions or be effective in integrating such acquisitions.

View may make acquisitions and investments in the future as part of its growth strategy. View will evaluate the tactical or strategic opportunities available related to complementary businesses, products or technologies. There can be no assurance that View will be successful in making future acquisitions. Even if View is successful in making acquisitions, integrating an acquired company’s business into its operations or investing in new technologies may (i) result in unforeseen operating difficulties and large expenditures and (ii) absorb significant management attention that would otherwise be available for the ongoing development of its business, both of which may result in the loss of key business customers or personnel and expose View to unanticipated liabilities. Further, View may not be able to retain the key employees that may be necessary to operate the business it acquires and it may not be able to attract, in a timely manner, new skilled employees and management to replace them.

View may not be able to consummate acquisitions or investments that it has identified as crucial to the implementation of its strategy for other commercial or economic reasons. Further, View may not be able to obtain the necessary regulatory approvals, including those of competition authorities and foreign investment authorities, in countries where it seeks to consummate acquisitions or make investments. For those and other reasons, View may ultimately fail to consummate an acquisition, even if it announces the intended acquisition.

Risk Factors Relating to Smaller Reporting and Emerging Growth Company Status

View has identified material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting. If View’s remediation of such material weaknesses is not effective, or if it fails to develop and maintain proper and effective internal control over financial reporting, View’s ability to produce timely and accurate financial statements, comply with applicable laws and regulations, or access the capital markets could be impaired.

As a privately-held company, View was not required to evaluate its internal control over financial reporting in a manner that meets the standards of publicly traded companies required by Section 404(a) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, or Section 404.

As a public company, View will have significant requirements for enhanced financial reporting and internal control over financial reporting. The process of designing and implementing effective internal control over financial reporting is a continuous effort that requires View to anticipate and react to changes in its business and the economic and regulatory environments and to expend significant resources to maintain internal control over financial reporting that is adequate to satisfy its reporting obligations as a public company. If View is unable to establish or maintain appropriate internal control over financial reporting, it could cause View to fail to meet its reporting obligations on a timely basis, result in material misstatements in its consolidated financial statements, increase compliance costs, negatively impact share trading prices, and otherwise harm its results of operations. In addition, View will be required, pursuant to Section 404, to furnish a report by management on its assessment of the effectiveness of View’s internal control over financial reporting in the second annual report following the completion of this offering.

This assessment will need to include disclosure of any material weaknesses identified in View’s internal control over financial reporting. The rules governing the standards that must be met for its management to assess

85

its internal control over financial reporting are complex and require significant documentation, testing and possible remediation. Testing and maintaining its internal control over financial reporting may divert View’s management’s attention from other matters that are important to its business.

In connection with the preparation of View’s financial statements as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 and for the years then ended, View identified material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of a company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

View did not design or maintain an effective control environment that meets View’s accounting and reporting requirements. Specifically, View did not have a sufficient complement of personnel with an appropriate degree of accounting knowledge and experience to appropriately analyze, record and disclose accounting matters commensurate with View’s accounting and reporting requirements and lacked related internal controls necessary to satisfy View’s accounting and financial reporting requirements. This material weakness contributed to the following additional material weaknesses:

• View did not maintain effective controls over risk assessment, including designing and maintaining formal accounting policies, procedures, and controls over significant accounts and disclosures to achieve complete, accurate and timely financial accounting, reporting and disclosures, including with respect to revenue and receivables, inventory, and period-end financial reporting.

• View did not design and maintain effective control over information technology (“IT”) general controls for information systems that are relevant to the preparation of its financial statements. Specifically, View did not design and maintain: (i) program change management control for financial systems relevant to View’s financial reporting to ensure that information technology program and data changes affecting financial IT applications and underlying accounting records are identified, tested, authorized and implemented appropriately; (ii) user access controls to ensure appropriate segregation of duties and that adequately restrict user and privileged access to financial applications, programs, and data to appropriate View personnel; (iii) computer operations controls to ensure critical data interfaces between systems are appropriately identified and monitored, data backups are authorized and monitored, and restorations are tested; and (iv) testing and approval controls for program development to ensure that new software development is aligned with business and IT requirements.

The material weaknesses related to the control environment and risk assessment resulted in adjustments to several accounts and disclosures. The IT deficiencies did not result in an adjustment to the financial statements; however, the deficiencies, when aggregated, could impact maintaining effective segregation of duties, as well as the effectiveness of IT-dependent controls (such as automated controls that address the risk of material misstatement to one or more assertions, along with the IT controls and underlying data that support the effectiveness of system-generated data and reports) that could result in misstatements potentially impacting all financial statement accounts and disclosures that would not be prevented or detected. Additionally, each of these material weaknesses could result in a misstatement of account balances or disclosures that would result in a material misstatement to the annual or interim condensed consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected.

To address its material weaknesses, View has taken the following steps thus far in 2020 to enhance its internal control over financial reporting and it plans to take additional steps to remediate the material weaknesses:

• hired new leadership in the accounting and finance team, including a corporate controller, with appropriate technical accounting knowledge and public company experience in finance and accounting;

• hired a qualified assistant corporate controller and assistant factory controller, and will continue to hire qualified technical accounting and SEC reporting professionals to execute key controls related to various financial reporting processes, in addition to utilizing third-party consultants to supplement View’s internal resources;

86

• engaged a global accounting advisory firm to assist with the documentation, evaluation, remediation and testing of View’s internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by COSO;

• performed a comprehensive risk assessment that identified the risks of material misstatement whether due to error or fraud in the consolidated financial statements and have begun implementing new controls and redesigning existing controls, including transactional controls, review controls, IT general controls and user access controls to mitigate the identified risks of material misstatements; and

• performed a segregation of duties analysis and have started to segregate conflicting roles and removing unnecessary access to financial reporting systems and applications relevant to the preparation of the financial statements;

While View is designing and implementing measures to remediate its existing material weaknesses, it cannot predict the success of such measures or the outcome of its assessment of these measures at this time. View can give no assurance that these measures will remediate any of the deficiencies in its internal control over financial reporting or that additional material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting will not be identified in the future. View’s current controls and any new controls that it develops may become inadequate because of changes in conditions in its business, personnel, IT systems and applications, or other factors. Any failure to design or maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting or any difficulties encountered in their implementation or improvement could increase compliance costs, negatively impact share trading prices, or otherwise harm View’s operating results or cause it to fail to meet its reporting obligations.

View’s independent registered public accounting firm is not required to formally attest to the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting until after View is no longer an “emerging growth company” as defined in the JOBS Act. View may not be able to conclude on an ongoing basis that it has effective internal control over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 or View’s independent registered public accounting firm may not issue an unqualified opinion. If either View is unable to conclude that it has effective internal control over financial reporting or View’s independent registered public accounting firm is unable to provide it with an unqualified report, investors could lose confidence in View’s reported financial information, which could have a material adverse effect on the trading price of the Combined Entity Common Stock.

After the closing of the Business Combination, the Combined Entity will be an “emerging growth company” as defined in the JOBS Act and will be a “smaller reporting company” as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, and will be able to avail itself of reduced disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies and smaller reporting companies, which could make its common stock less attractive to investors and adversely affect the market price of its common stock in the future.

After the closing of the Business Combination, the Combined Entity will be an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the JOBS Act. The Combined Entity will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of (i) the last day of the Combined Entity’s fiscal year in which the Combined Entity has total annual gross revenue of at least $1.07 billion; (ii) the last day of the Combined Entity’s first fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of CF II’s IPO; (iii) the date on which the Combined Entity has issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the previous three years; or (iv) the date on which the Combined Entity is deemed to be a “large accelerated filer” under the rules of the SEC, which means the market value of View Common Stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700.0 million. For so long as View remains an emerging growth company, it is permitted and intend to rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies. These exemptions include:

• not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or Section 404;

87

• not being required to comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements;

• providing only two years of audited financial statements in addition to any required unaudited interim financial statements and a correspondingly reduced “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” disclosure for certain filings;

• reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation; and

• exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholders approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

In addition, the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards. This allows an emerging growth company to delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. View has elected to use the extended transition period for new or revised accounting standards during the period in which it remains an emerging growth company; however, View may adopt certain new or revised accounting standards early. Changes in rules of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles or their interpretation, the adoption of new guidance or the application of existing guidance to changes in View’s business could significantly affect its financial position and results of operations. In addition, View’s independent registered public accounting firm will not be required to provide an attestation report on the effectiveness of View’s internal control over financial reporting so long as View qualifies as an “emerging growth company,” which may increase the risk that material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in View’s internal control over financial reporting go undetected. Likewise, so long as View qualifies as a “smaller reporting company” or an “emerging growth company,” it may elect not to provide stockholders or investors with certain information, including certain financial information and certain information regarding compensation of its executive officers, that it would otherwise have been required to provide in filings View makes with the SEC, which may make it more difficult for investors and securities analysts to evaluate its company.

View will be a “smaller reporting company” as defined in the Exchange Act. View may continue to be a smaller reporting company even after it is no longer an emerging growth company. View may take advantage of certain of the scaled disclosures available to smaller reporting companies until the fiscal year following the determination that its voting and non-voting common stock held by non-affiliates is more than $250.0 million measured on the last business day of its second fiscal quarter, or its annual revenue are more than $100.0 million during the most recently completed fiscal year and its voting and non-voting common stock held by non-affiliates is more than $700.0 million measured on the last business day of its second fiscal quarter.

View may choose to take advantage of some, but not all, of the available exemptions as an emerging growth company and a smaller reporting company. View will take advantage of reduced reporting burdens. In particular, in this filing, View has provided only two years of audited financial statements and has not included all of the executive compensation information that would be required if it were not an emerging growth company or smaller reporting company. View cannot predict whether investors will find its common stock less attractive if View relies on these exemptions. If some investors find View Common Stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for the Combined Entity Common Stock and its stock price may be more volatile.

After the closing of the Business Combination, View will be required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act to evaluate the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting. If View is unable to achieve and maintain effective internal controls, its operating results and financial condition could be harmed.

View will be an emerging growth company, and thus it is exempt from the auditor attestation requirement of Section 404(b) of Sarbanes-Oxley until such time as it no longer qualifies as an emerging growth company. See also “View qualifies as an emerging growth company, and any decision on its part to comply with reduced

88

reporting and disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies could make its common stock less attractive to investors.” Regardless of whether View qualifies as an emerging growth company, it will still need to implement substantial internal control systems and procedures in order to satisfy the reporting requirements under the Exchange Act and applicable requirements.

During the course of its assessment, View identified deficiencies that may not be able to remediate in a timely manner. See also “View has identified material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting. If View’s remediation of such material weaknesses is not effective, or if it fails to develop and maintain a proper and effective internal control over financial reporting, View’s ability to produce timely and accurate financial statements or comply with applicable laws and regulations could be impaired.” View cannot be certain as to the timing of completion of its remediation actions or their effect on its operations. If View is unable to remediate in a timely manner, this may impede its ability to file timely and accurate reports with the SEC. Any of the above could cause investors to lose confidence in View’s reported financial information, which could have a negative effect on the trading price of the Combined Entity Common Stock.

Risk Factors Relating to CF II and the Business Combination

The Sponsor and each of CF II’s officers and directors have agreed to vote in favor of the Business Combination and the other Proposals described herein to be presented at the special meeting of stockholders, regardless of how CF II’s public stockholders vote.

The Sponsor and each of CF II’s officers and directors have agreed to, among other things, vote in favor of the Business Combination Proposal and the other Proposals described herein to be presented at the special meeting of stockholders. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, the Sponsor and CF II’s directors and officers own 21.4% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. Accordingly, it is more likely that the necessary stockholder approval will be received than would be the case if the Sponsor and CF II’s directors and officers agreed to vote their Founder Shares and other shares of Common Stock in accordance with the majority of the votes cast by CF II’s public stockholders.

Neither the Board nor any committee thereof obtained a third-party valuation in determining whether or not to pursue the Business Combination.

Neither the Board nor any committee thereof is required to obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking or accounting firm that the price that CF II is paying for View is fair to CF II from a financial point of view. Neither the Board nor any committee thereof obtained a third-party valuation in connection with the Business Combination. In analyzing the Business Combination, the Board conducted due diligence on View. The Board also consulted with CF II’s management and legal counsel, financial advisors and other advisors and considered a number of factors, uncertainty and risks, including, but not limited to, those discussed under “The Business Combination Proposal — CF II Board’s Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination,” and concluded that the business combination was in the best interest of CF II’s stockholders. Accordingly, investors will be relying solely on the judgment of the CF II Board in valuing View, and the CF II Board may not have properly valued such businesses. The lack of a third-party valuation may also lead an increased number of CF II stockholders to vote against the Business Combination or demand redemption of their shares of Common Stock, which could potentially impact CF II’s ability to consummate the Business Combination.

The CF II Board did not obtain a fairness opinion in determining whether or not to proceed with the Business Combination and, as a result, the terms may not be fair from a financial point of view to the public stockholders.

In analyzing the Business Combination, the CF II Board conducted significant due diligence on View. For a complete discussion of the factors utilized by the CF II Board in approving the Business Combination, see the section titled, “The Business Combination Proposal — CF II Board’s Reasons for Approval of the Business

89

Combination.” The CF II Board believes because of the financial skills and background of its directors, it was qualified to conclude that the Business Combination was fair from a financial perspective to its stockholders and that View’s fair market value was at least 80% of the value of the Trust Account (excluding any taxes payable on interest earned).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the CF II Board did not obtain a fairness opinion to assist it in its determination. Accordingly, the CF II Board may be incorrect in its assessment of the Business Combination.

The CF II Board 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 the public stockholders.

In the event that the proceeds in the trust account are reduced below the lesser of (i) $10.00 per share and (ii) the actual amount per share held in the trust account as of the date of the liquidation of the trust account if less than $10.00 per share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, in each case net of the interest which may be withdrawn to pay taxes, and the Sponsor asserts that it is unable to satisfy its obligations or that it has no indemnification obligations related to a particular claim, our independent directors would determine whether to take legal action against the Sponsor to enforce its indemnification obligations.

While CF II currently expects that its independent directors would take legal action on CF II’s behalf against the Sponsor to enforce its indemnification obligations to CF II, it is possible that CF II’s independent directors in exercising their business judgment and subject to their fiduciary duties may choose not to do so in any particular instance if, for example, the cost of such legal action is deemed by the independent directors to be too high relative to the amount recoverable or if the independent directors determine that a favorable outcome is not likely. If CF II’s independent directors choose not to enforce these indemnification obligations, the amount of funds in the trust account available for distribution to the public stockholders may be reduced below $10.00 per share.

Since the Sponsor and the members of CF II’s management team have interests that are different, or in addition to (and which may conflict with), the interests of CF II’s stockholders, a conflict of interest may have existed in determining whether the Business Combination is appropriate as CF II’s initial business combination. Such interests include that the Sponsor will lose its entire investment in CF II if a business combination is not completed.

When you consider the recommendation of the CF II Board in favor of approval of the Business Combination Proposal and the other Proposals included herein, you should keep in mind that the Sponsor and CF II’s officers and directors have interests in such Proposals that are different from, or in addition to, those of CF II stockholders and warrant holders generally. The CF II Board was aware of and considered these interests, among other matters, in evaluating and negotiating the business combination and transaction agreements and in recommending to CF II’s stockholders that they vote in favor of the Proposals presented at the special meeting of stockholders, including the Business Combination Proposal. CF II stockholders should take these interests into account in deciding whether to approve the Proposals, including the Business Combination Proposal. These interests include, among other things:

• unless CF II consummates an initial business combination, CF II’s officers and directors and the Sponsor will not receive reimbursement for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them on behalf of CF II to the extent that such expenses exceed the amount of available proceeds not deposited in the Trust Account;

• the Placement Units, including the Placement Shares, and Placement Warrants, purchased by the Sponsor will be worthless if a business combination is not consummated;

• the Sponsor has agreed that the Placement Units, and all of their underlying securities, will not be sold or transferred by it until 30 days after CF II has completed a business combination, subject to limited exceptions;

90

• the fact that Sponsor paid an aggregate of $25,000 for its Founders Shares and such securities will have a significantly higher value at the time of the Business Combination;

• the fact that Sponsor has agreed not to redeem any of the Founders Shares or Placement Shares in connection with a stockholder vote to approve a proposed initial business combination;

• if CF II does not complete an initial business combination by August 31, 2022 (or a later date approved by the stockholders of CF II pursuant to the Existing Charter), the proceeds from the sale of the Placement Units will be included in the liquidating distribution to CF II’s public stockholders and the Placement Warrants will expire worthless;

• the fact that upon completion of the Business Combination, an aggregate amount of $17.5 million in business combination marketing fees, $7.5 million of M&A advisory fees payable in shares of CF II Common Stock and $1.5 million of placement agent fees will be payable to CF&Co., an affiliate of CF II and the Sponsor;

• if the Trust Account is liquidated, including in the event CF II is unable to complete an initial business combination within the required time period, the Sponsor has agreed to indemnify CF II to ensure that the proceeds in the Trust Account are not reduced below $10.00 per Public Share by the claims of prospective target businesses with which CF II has entered into an acquisition agreement or claims of any third party for services rendered or products sold to CF II, 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 fact that the Sponsor and CF II’s officers and directors will lose their entire investment in CF II, including loans in the aggregate amount of $160,000 as of November 30, 2020, if an initial business combination is not completed;

• the fact that CF II’s independent directors own 30,000 Founder Shares that were transferred by the Sponsor at no cost, which if unrestricted and freely tradeable would be valued at approximately $336,000, based on the closing price of Class A Common Stock on December 21, 2020;

• CF Securities, an affiliate of CF II and the Sponsor, has entered into an engagement letter with the finance provider pursuant to View’s revolving debt facility pursuant to which CF Securities will receive a fee in the event of reductions in the principal amount under such revolving debt facility (subject to the conditions set forth therein);

• Cantor, an affiliate of Sponsor, has entered into a financing assistance contract with View, pursuant to which Cantor intends to establish one or more financing entities together with View to support the purchase and sale of View’s products and services, and such financing entities will have the right to purchase View’s products at a discount to the then actual selling price for comparably featured orders;

• View appointed Newmark (as defined herein), an affiliate of the Sponsor, as its exclusive provider of real estate services and commissioned house agent for referrals of sales of View products or services installed in buildings in North America (other than certain verticals and customers, and subject to certain other exceptions) and Newmark will be entitled to commissions in respect of such sales; and

• the fact that CF II’s officers and directors will be eligible for continued indemnification and continued coverage under a directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy after the business combination and pursuant to the Merger Agreement.

The existence of financial and personal interests of one or more of CF II’s directors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of such director(s) between what he or they may believe is in the best interests of CF II and its stockholders and what he or they may believe is best for himself or themselves in determining to recommend that stockholders vote for the Proposals. See the section titled “The Business Combination Proposal — Interests of the Sponsor and CF II’s Directors, Officers and Affiliates in the Business Combination” for a further discussion of these considerations.

91

The financial and personal interests of the Sponsor and CF II’s officers and directors may have influenced their motivation in identifying and selecting View as a business combination target, completing an initial business combination with View and influencing the operation of the business following the initial business combination. In considering the recommendations of the CF II Board to vote for the Proposals, its stockholders should consider these interests.

The exercise of the CF II Board’s discretion in agreeing to changes or waivers in the terms of the Merger Agreement and related agreements, including closing conditions, may result in a conflict of interest when determining whether such changes to the terms or waivers of conditions are appropriate and in CF II’s stockholders’ best interest.

In the period leading up to the Closing, events may occur that, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, would require CF II to agree to amend the Merger Agreement, to consent to certain actions taken by View or to waive rights that CF II is entitled to under the Merger Agreement, including those related to closing conditions. Such events could arise because of changes in the course of View’s businesses or a request by View to undertake actions that would otherwise be prohibited by the terms of the Merger Agreement or the occurrence of other events that would have a material adverse effect on View’s businesses and would entitle CF II to terminate the Merger Agreement. In any of such circumstances, it would be at CF II’s discretion, acting through the CF II Board, to grant its consent or waive those rights. The existence of financial and personal interests of one or more of the directors described in the preceding risk factors (and described elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus) may result in a conflict of interest on the part of such director(s) between what he or they may believe is best for CF II and its stockholders and what he or they may believe is best for himself or themselves in determining whether or not to take the requested action. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, CF II does not believe there will be any changes or waivers that the CF II Board would be likely to make after stockholder approval of the Business Combination Proposal has been obtained. While certain changes could be made without further stockholder approval, CF II will circulate a new or amended proxy statement/prospectus and resolicit CF II’s stockholders if changes to the terms of the transaction that would have a material impact on its stockholders are required prior to the vote on the Business Combination Proposal.

Subsequent to consummation of the Business Combination, the Combined Entity may be exposed to unknown or contingent liabilities and may be required to subsequently take write-downs or write-offs, restructuring and impairment or other charges that could have a significant negative effect on the Combined Entity’s financial condition, results of operations and the price of its securities, which could cause you to lose some or all of your investment.

CF II cannot assure you that the due diligence conducted in relation to View has identified all material issues or risks associated with View, its business or the industry in which it competes. Furthermore, CF II cannot assure you that factors outside of View’s and CF II’s control will not later arise. As a result of these factors, the Combined Entity may be exposed to liabilities and incur additional costs and expenses and it may be forced to later write down or write off assets, restructure its operations, or incur impairment or other charges that could result in the Combined Entity reporting losses. Even if CF II’s due diligence has identified certain risks, unexpected risks may arise and previously known risks may materialize in a manner not consistent with its preliminary risk analysis. If any of these risks materialize, this could have a material adverse effect on the Combined Entity’s financial condition and results of operations and could contribute to negative market perceptions about the Combined Entity or its securities. Additionally, CF II has no indemnification rights against the View Stockholders under the Merger Agreement and all of the purchase price consideration will be delivered to the View Stockholders at the Closing. Accordingly, any stockholders or warrant holders of CF II who choose to remain the Combined Entity’s stockholders or warrant holders following the Business Combination could suffer a reduction in the value of their shares or warrants. Such stockholders or warrant holders are unlikely to have a remedy for such reduction in value.

92

The historical financial results of View and unaudited pro forma financial information included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus may not be indicative of what View’s actual financial position or results of operations would have been if it were a public company.

The historical financial results of View included in this proxy statement/prospectus do not reflect the financial condition, results of operations or cash flows it would have achieved as a public company during the periods presented or those the Combined Entity will achieve in the future. The Combined Entity’s financial condition and future results of operations could be materially different from amounts reflected in View’s historical financial statements included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus, so it may be difficult for investors to compare the Combined Entity’s future results to historical results or to evaluate its relative performance or trends in its business.

As a privately held company, View has not been required to comply with many corporate governance and financial reporting practices and policies required of a publicly traded company. As a result of the merger, the Combined Entity will be a public company with significant operations, and as such (and particularly after we are no longer an “emerging growth company” or “smaller reporting company”), will face increased legal, accounting, administrative and other costs and expenses as a public company that it did not incur as a private company. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act, including the requirements of Section 404, as well as rules and regulations implemented by the SEC, the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and the securities exchanges, impose additional reporting and other obligations on public companies. Compliance with public company requirements will increase costs and make certain activities more time-consuming. A number of those requirements require it to carry out activities the Combined Entity has not done previously. In addition, expenses associated with SEC reporting requirements will be incurred. If any issues in complying with those requirements are identified (for example, if the auditors identify a significant deficiency or additional material weaknesses in the internal control over financial reporting), the Combined Entity could incur additional costs to rectify those issues, and the existence of those issues could adversely affect its reputation or investor perceptions. In addition, the Combined Entity will purchase director and officer liability insurance, which has substantial additional premiums. Advocacy efforts by stockholders and third parties may also prompt additional changes in governance and reporting requirements, which could further increase costs. The additional reporting and other obligations associated with being a public company will increase legal and financial compliance costs and the costs of related legal, accounting and administrative activities.

Similarly, the unaudited pro forma financial information in this proxy statement/prospectus is presented for illustrative purposes only and has been prepared based on a number of assumptions including, but not limited to, the Combined Entity being treated as the “acquiror” for financial reporting purposes in the Business Combination, the total debt obligations and the cash and cash equivalents of View on the date the Business Combination closes and the number of CF II’s Public Shares that are redeemed in connection with the Business Combination. Accordingly, such pro forma financial information may not be indicative of the Combined Entity’s future operating or financial performance and the Combined Entity’s actual financial condition and results of operations may vary materially from the pro forma results of operations and balance sheet contained elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus, including as a result of such assumptions not being accurate. See “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information.”

Financial projections with respect to View may not prove to be reflective of actual financial results.

In connection with the Business Combination, the CF II Board considered, among other things, internal financial forecasts prepared by, or at the direction of, the management of View, the key elements of which are set forth in the section titled “The Business Combination Proposal — CF II Board’s Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination.” View does not, as a matter of general practice, publicly disclose long-term forecasts or internal projections of its future performance, revenue, financial condition or other results. None of these projections or forecasts were prepared with a view towards public disclosure or compliance with the published guidelines of the SEC, GAAP or the guidelines established by the American Institute of Certified Public

93

Accountants for preparation and presentation of financial forecasts. These projections and forecasts are inherently based on various estimates and assumptions that are subject to the judgment of those preparing them. These projections and forecasts are also subject to significant economic, competitive, industry and other uncertainties and contingencies, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict and many of which are beyond the control of View. There can be no assurance that the Combined Entity’s financial condition, including its cash flows or results of operations, will be consistent with those set forth in such projections and forecasts, which could have an adverse impact on the market price of the Class A Common Stock or the business, financial condition and results of operations of the Combined Entity following the Closing.

The Merger Agreement contains a minimum cash requirement for CF II. This requirement may make it more difficult for CF II to complete the Business Combination as contemplated.

The Merger Agreement provides that View’s obligation to consummate the Business Combination is conditioned on, among other things, a minimum cash requirement, which requires that, at or as of immediately prior to the Closing, the aggregate amount of available cash of CF II, after deducting the aggregate amount of all payments required to be made by CF II in connection with the Redemptions and any indebtedness of CF II immediately prior to Closing, equal $100,000,000 plus the amount received from the PIPE Investments. This amount is determined prior to the payment of any transaction expenses of CF II.

In addition, pursuant to the Existing Charter, in no event will CF II redeem Public Shares in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets (as determined in accordance with Rule 3a51-1(g)(1) of the Exchange Act) to be less than $5,000,001 both immediately prior to and after the consummation of a business combination. If such conditions are not met, and such conditions are not or cannot be waived by the parties to the Merger Agreement, then the Merger Agreement could terminate and the proposed Business Combination may not be consummated.

If such conditions are waived and the Business Combination is consummated, the cash held by the Combined Entity and its subsidiaries in the aggregate, after the Closing may not be sufficient to allow them to operate and pay their bills as they become due. Furthermore, the Combined Entity’s affiliates are not obligated to make loans to it or invest in it in the future after the Business Combination. The additional exercise of redemption rights with respect to a large number of CF II’s public stockholders may make the Combined Entity unable to take such actions as may be desirable in order to optimize its capital structure after the Closing and it may not be able to raise additional financing from unaffiliated parties necessary to fund its expenses and liabilities after the Closing.

CF II and/or View may seek to arrange for additional third party financing which may be in the form of debt (including bank debt or convertible notes) or equity (including the sale of shares pursuant to additional PIPE subscriptions), the proceeds of which would be used to repay amounts outstanding under existing View indebtedness at Closing or for other purposes (including, in the case of CF II, to satisfy the Minimum Available Acquiror Cash required to consummate the Business Combination). Such additional third-party financing may not be available to CF II and/or View. Even if such third-party financing is available, the ability of CF II or View to obtain such financing is subject to restrictions set forth in the Merger Agreement, including the consent of the other party. Furthermore, raising such additional financing may result in the incurrence of indebtedness at higher than desirable levels, or such terms may not be as attractive as those under View’s existing indebtedness.

The Sponsor or CF II’s or View’s respective directors, officers, advisors or respective affiliates may elect to purchase shares from public stockholders prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, which may influence the vote on the Business Combination and reduce the public “float” of the Class A Common Stock.

At any time at or prior to the Business Combination, subject to applicable securities laws, the Sponsor or CF II’s or View’s respective directors, officers, advisors or respective affiliates may (1) purchase Public Shares from institutional and other investors who vote, or indicate an intention to vote, against any of the Proposals, or elect to redeem, or indicate an intention to redeem, Public Shares, (2) execute agreements to purchase such shares

94

from such investors in the future, or (3) enter into transactions with such investors and others to provide them with incentives to acquire Public Shares, vote their Public Shares in favor of the Proposals or not redeem their Public Shares. Such a purchase may include a contractual acknowledgement that such stockholder, although still the record holder of the shares of CF II Common Stock, is no longer the beneficial owner thereof and therefore agrees not to exercise its redemption rights. In the event that the Sponsor or CF II’s or View’s respective directors, officers, advisors or respective affiliates purchase shares in privately negotiated transactions from public stockholders who have already elected to exercise their redemption rights, such selling stockholder would be required to revoke their prior elections to redeem their shares. The purpose of such share purchases and other transactions would be to (1) increase the likelihood of approving the Proposals and (2) limit the number of Public Shares electing to redeem, including the Minimum Available Acquiror Cash required to consummate the Business Combination.

Entering into any such arrangements may have a depressive effect on the Class A Common Stock (e.g., by giving an investor or holder the ability to effectively purchase shares at a price lower than market, such investor or holder may therefore become more likely to sell the shares he or she owns, either at or prior to the Business Combination). If such transactions are effected, the consequence could be to cause the Business Combination to be consummated in circumstances where such consummation could not otherwise occur. Purchases of shares by the persons described above would allow them to exert more influence over the approval of the Proposals and would likely increase the chances that the Proposals would be approved. In addition, if such purchases are made, the public “float” of the Public Shares and the number of beneficial holders of CF II’s securities may be reduced, possibly making it difficult to maintain or obtain the quotation, listing or trading of CF II’s securities on a national securities exchange.

The Combined Entity’s certificate of incorporation will require, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that derivative actions brought in our name, actions against its directors, officers, other employees or stockholders for breach of fiduciary duty and certain other actions may be brought only in the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware and, if brought outside of Delaware, the stockholder bringing the suit will, subject to certain exceptions, be deemed to have consented to service of process on such stockholder’s counsel, which may have the effect of discouraging lawsuits against our directors, officers, other employees or stockholders.

Unless the Combined Entity consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, derivative actions brought in CF II’s name, actions against its directors, officers, other employees or stockholders for breach of fiduciary duty and certain other actions may be brought only in the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware and, if brought outside of Delaware, the stockholder bringing the suit will be deemed to have consented to service of process on such stockholder’s counsel except any action; provided, however, that, in the event that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware lacks subject matter jurisdiction over any such action or proceeding, the sole and exclusive forum for such action or proceeding shall be another state or federal court located within the State of Delaware, in each such case, unless the Court of Chancery (or such other state or federal court located within the State of Delaware, as applicable) has dismissed a prior action by the same plaintiff asserting the same claims because such court lacked personal jurisdiction over an indispensable party named as a defendant therein.

Unless the Combined Entity consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the United States of America shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act.

This choice of forum provision may limit the ability of a Combined Entity stockholder to bring a claim in a judicial forum that stockholder finds favorable for disputes with the Combined Entity or any of the Combined Entity’s directors, officers, other employees or stockholders, which may discourage lawsuits with respect to such claims, although stockholders of the Combined Entity will not be deemed to have waived the Combined Entity’s compliance with federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. Alternatively, if a court were to find the choice of forum provision contained in the Amended Charter to be inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, the

95

Combined Entity may incur additional costs associated with resolving such action in other jurisdictions, which could harm the Combined Entity’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

If third parties bring claims against CF II, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be reduced and the per share redemption amount received by holders of Class A common stock may be less than $10.00 per share.

CF II’s placing of funds in the Trust Account may not protect those funds from third-party claims against CF II. Although CF II seeks to have all vendors, service providers (other than its independent registered public accounting firm), prospective target businesses or other entities with which CF II does business execute agreements with CF II waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account, there is no guarantee that they will execute such agreements or even if they execute such agreements that they would be prevented from bringing claims against the Trust Account, including, but not limited to, fraudulent inducement, breach of fiduciary responsibility or other similar claims, as well as claims challenging the enforceability of the waiver, in each case in order to gain advantage with respect to a claim against CF II’s assets, including the funds held in the Trust Account. If any third-party refuses to execute an agreement waiving such claims to the monies held in the Trust Account, CF II’s management will perform an analysis of the alternatives available to it and will enter into an agreement with a third-party that has not executed a waiver only if management believes that such third-party’s engagement would be significantly more beneficial to CF II than any alternative.

Examples of possible instances where CF II may engage a third-party that refuses to execute a waiver include the engagement of a third-party consultant whose particular expertise or skills are believed by management to be significantly superior to those of other consultants that would agree to execute a waiver or in cases where CF II is unable to find a service provider willing to execute a waiver. In addition, there is no guarantee that such entities will agree to waive any claims they may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations, contracts or agreements with CF II and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account for any reason. Upon redemption of the Public Shares, if CF II is unable to complete an initial business combination within the prescribed time frame, or upon the exercise of a redemption right in connection with its initial business combination, CF II will be required to provide for payment of claims of creditors that were not waived that may be brought against CF II within the 10 years following redemption. Accordingly, the per share redemption amount received by public stockholders could be less than the $10.00 per share currently held in the Trust Account, due to claims of such creditors.

The Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to CF II if and to the extent any claims by a third-party (other than CF II’s independent registered public accounting firm) for services rendered or products sold to CF II, or a prospective target business with which CF II has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below (1) $10.00 per Public Share or (2) such lesser amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, in each case net of the interest which may be withdrawn to pay taxes, except as to any claims by a third-party who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account and except as to any claims under CF II’s indemnity of the underwriters of the IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. Moreover, in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third-party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third-party claims. CF II has not independently verified whether the Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and CF II has not asked the Sponsor to reserve for such indemnification obligations. As a result, if any such claims were successfully made against the Trust Account, the funds available for CF II’s initial business combination and redemptions could be reduced to less than $10.00 per public share. In such event, CF II may not be able to complete its initial business combination, and you would receive such lesser amount per share in connection with any redemption of your Public Shares. No member of CF II’s management team will indemnify CF II for claims by third parties including, without limitation, claims by vendors and prospective target businesses.

96

If, after CF II distributes the proceeds in the Trust Account to its public stockholders, it files a bankruptcy petition or an involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against CF II that is not dismissed, a bankruptcy court may seek to recover such proceeds, and the members of the CF II Board may be viewed as having breached their fiduciary duties to CF II’s creditors, thereby exposing the members of the CF II Board and CF II to claims of punitive damages.

If, after CF II distributes the proceeds in the Trust Account to its public stockholders, CF II files a bankruptcy petition or an involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against CF II that is not dismissed, any distributions received by stockholders could be viewed under applicable debtor/creditor and/or bankruptcy laws as either a “preferential transfer” or a “fraudulent conveyance.” As a result, a bankruptcy court could seek to recover some or all amounts received by CF II’s stockholders. In addition, the CF II Board may be viewed as having breached its fiduciary duty to CF II’s creditors and/or having acted in bad faith by paying public stockholders from the Trust Account prior to addressing the claims of creditors, thereby exposing itself and CF II to claims of punitive damages.

If, before distributing the proceeds in the Trust Account to CF II’s public stockholders, CF II files a bankruptcy petition or an involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against CF II that is not dismissed, the claims of creditors in such proceeding may have priority over the claims of CF II’s stockholders and the per-share amount that would otherwise be received by CF II stockholders in connection with CF II’s liquidation may be reduced.

If, before distributing the proceeds in the Trust Account to CF II’s public stockholders, CF II files a bankruptcy petition or an involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against CF II that is not dismissed, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be subject to applicable bankruptcy law, and may be included in CF II’s bankruptcy estate and subject to the claims of third parties with priority over the claims of CF II’s stockholders. To the extent any bankruptcy claims deplete the Trust Account, the per-share amount that would otherwise be received by CF II’s public stockholders in connection with its liquidation would be reduced.

CF II’s stockholders may be held liable for claims by third parties against CF II to the extent of distributions received by them upon redemption of their shares.

Under the DGCL, stockholders may be held liable for claims by third parties against a corporation to the extent of distributions received by them in a dissolution. The pro rata portion of the Trust Account distributed to CF II’s public stockholders upon the redemption of the Public Shares in the event CF II does not complete an initial business combination within the required time period may be considered a liquidating distribution under the DGCL. If a corporation complies with certain procedures set forth in Section 280 of the DGCL intended to ensure that it makes reasonable provision for all claims against it, including a 60-day notice period during which any third-party claims can be brought against the corporation, a 90-day period during which the corporation may reject any claims brought, and an additional 150-day waiting period before any liquidating distributions are made to stockholders, any liability of stockholders with respect to a liquidating distribution is limited to the lesser of such stockholder’s pro rata share of the claim or the amount distributed to the stockholder, and any liability of the stockholder would be barred after the third anniversary of the dissolution. However, it is CF II’s intention to redeem the Public Shares as soon as reasonably possible following the required time period in the event CF II does not complete an initial business combination and, therefore, it does not intend to comply with the foregoing procedures.

Because CF II does not intend to comply with Section 280 of the DGCL, Section 281(b) of the DGCL requires it to adopt a plan, based on facts known to it at such time that will provide for its payment of all existing and pending claims or claims that may be potentially brought against it within the 10 years following its dissolution. However, because CF II is a blank check company, rather than an operating company, and CF II’s operations are limited to searching for prospective target businesses to acquire, the only likely claims to arise would be from CF II’s vendors (such as lawyers, investment bankers, consultants, etc.) or prospective target businesses. If CF II’s plan of distribution complies with Section 281(b) of the DGCL, any liability of

97

stockholders with respect to a liquidating distribution is limited to the lesser of such stockholder’s pro rata share of the claim or the amount distributed to the stockholder, and any liability of the stockholder would likely be barred after the third anniversary of the dissolution. CF II cannot assure you that it will properly assess all claims that may be potentially brought against it. As such, CF II’s stockholders could potentially be liable for any claims to the extent of distributions received by them (but no more) and any liability of CF II’s stockholders may extend beyond the third anniversary of such date. Furthermore, if the pro rata portion of the Trust Account distributed to CF II’s public stockholders upon the redemption of the Public Shares in the event CF II does not complete an initial business combination within the required time period is not considered a liquidating distribution under Delaware law and such redemption distribution is deemed to be unlawful, then pursuant to Section 174 of the DGCL, the statute of limitations for claims of creditors could then be six years after the unlawful redemption distribution, instead of three years, as in the case of a liquidating distribution.

The public stockholders will experience dilution as a consequence of, among other transactions, the issuance of Class A Common Stock as consideration in the Business Combination and in connection with the PIPE Investment as well as future issuances pursuant to the Equity Incentive Plan and CEO Incentive Plan. Having a minority share position may reduce the influence that CF II’s current stockholders have on the management of the Combined Entity.

The issuance of a significant number of shares of Class A Common Stock in the Business Combination and in connection with the PIPE Investment will dilute the equity interest of existing CF II stockholders in the Combined Entity and may adversely affect prevailing market prices for its Public Shares and/or public warrants.

It is anticipated that, upon the completion of the Business Combination, and assuming no redemptions by CF II’s public stockholders, CF II’s public stockholders (other than the PIPE Investment investors) will retain an ownership interest of 23.0% of the Combined Entity, the PIPE Investment investors (other than the Sponsor and holders of View Capital Stock) will own 4.0% of the Combined Entity, the Sponsor, the other initial stockholders and their affiliates, through their ownership of Founder Shares, Placement Units and the purchase by the Sponsor of CF II Class A Common Stock in the PIPE Investment and the issuance of CF II Class A Common Stock to CF&Co., will retain an ownership interest of 8.9% of the Combined Entity and the holders of View Capital Stock (including their shares of CF II Class A Common Stock purchased in in the PIPE Investment) will own 64.1% of the Combined Entity. The ownership percentage with respect to the Combined Entity following the Business Combination is based upon the number of shares of View Capital Stock issued and outstanding as of December 18, 2020, but does not take into account (i) the redemption of any shares by CF II’s public stockholders, (ii) the exercise of the Warrants, or any assumed warrants, outstanding following the Business Combination and (iii) the exercise of any Options or other securities under any incentive plans, including any assumed options or securities provided for in connection with the CEO Incentive Plan and the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan, outstanding following the Business Combination. If the actual facts are different than these assumptions (which they are likely to be), the percentage ownership retained by CF II’s existing stockholders in the Combined Entity will be different.

Future issuances of shares of Class A Common Stock, including pursuant to the Equity Incentive Plan and CEO Incentive Plan, including those to be made at Closing, may significantly dilute the equity interests of existing holders of CF II’s securities and may adversely affect prevailing market prices for the Combined Entity’s securities.

The provision of the Amended Charter that authorizes the Combined Entity Board to issue preferred stock from time to time based on terms approved by the Combined Entity Board may delay, defer or prevent a tender offer or takeover attempt that public stockholders might consider in their best interest.

The provision of the Amended Charter that authorizes the Combined Entity Board to issue preferred stock from time to time based on terms approved by the Combined Entity Board may delay, defer or prevent a tender offer or takeover attempt that you might consider in your best interest.

98

There can be no assurance that the Combined Entity will be able to comply with the continued listing standards of Nasdaq.

The Combined Entity’s continued eligibility for listing may depend on the number of CF II Public Shares that are redeemed. If, after the Business Combination, Nasdaq delists the Combined Entity’s shares from trading on its exchange for failure to meet the listing standards and the Combined Entity is not able to list such securities on another national securities exchange, the securities of the Combined Entity could be quoted on an over-the-counter market. If this were to occur, the Combined Entity and its stockholders could face significant material adverse consequences including:

• a limited availability of market quotations for the Combined Entity’s securities;

• reduced liquidity for Combined Entity’s securities;

• a determination that the Combined Entity’s Class A Common Stock is a “penny stock,” which will require brokers trading the Combined Entity Class A Common Stock to adhere to more stringent rules, possibly resulting in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for shares of Combined Entity Class A Common Stock;

• a limited amount of news and analyst coverage; and

• a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future.

The ability of the Combined Entity’s management to operate the business successfully thereafter will be largely dependent upon the efforts of certain key personnel of View. The loss of such key personnel could negatively impact the operations and financial results of the combined business.

The ability of the Combined Entity’s management to operate the business successfully following the Closing is dependent upon the efforts of certain key personnel of View. Although CF II expects key personnel to remain with the Combined Entity following the Business Combination, there can be no assurance that they will do so. It is possible that View will lose some key personnel, the loss of which could negatively impact the operations and profitability of the Combined Entity. Furthermore, following the Closing, certain of the key personnel of View may be unfamiliar with the requirements of operating a company regulated by the SEC, which could cause the Combined Entity to have to expend time and resources helping them become familiar with such requirements.

The Combined Entity does not expect to declare any dividends in the foreseeable future.

After the Closing, the Combined Entity does not anticipate declaring any cash dividends to holders of its common stock in the foreseeable future. Consequently, investors may need to rely on sales of their shares after price appreciation, which may never occur, as the only way to realize any future gains on their investment.

If, following the Business Combination, securities or industry analysts do not publish or cease publishing research or reports about the Combined Entity, its business, or its market, or if they change their recommendations regarding the Combined Entity’s securities adversely, the price and trading volume of the Combined Entity’s securities could decline.

The trading market for the Combined Entity’s securities will be influenced by the research and reports that industry or securities analysts may publish about the Combined Entity, its business, market or competitors. Securities and industry analysts do not currently, and may never, publish research on the Combined Entity. If no securities or industry analysts commence coverage of the Combined Entity, the Combined Entity’s share price and trading volume would likely be negatively impacted. If any of the analysts who may cover the Combined Entity change their recommendation regarding the Combined Entity’s shares of common stock adversely, or provide more favorable relative recommendations about the Combined Entity’s competitors, the price of the Combined Entity’s shares of common stock would likely decline. If any analyst who may cover the Combined Entity were to cease coverage of the Combined Entity or fail to regularly publish reports on it, the Combined Entity could lose visibility in the financial markets, which in turn could cause its share price or trading volume to decline.

Risk Factors Relating to the Redemption

Public stockholders who wish to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the Trust Account must comply with specific requirements for redemption that may make it more difficult for them to exercise their redemption rights prior to the deadline. If stockholders fail to comply with the redemption requirements specified in this proxy statement/prospectus, they will not be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the funds held in the Trust Account.

A public stockholder will be entitled to receive cash for any Public Shares to be redeemed only if such public stockholder: (1)(a) holds Public Shares, or (b) if the public stockholder holds Public Shares through Units, the public stockholder elects to separate its Units into the underlying Public Shares and warrants prior to exercising its redemption rights with respect to the Public Shares; (2) prior to 5:00 p.m. Eastern time on                (two business days before the scheduled date of the Special Meeting) submits a written request to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, CF II’s transfer agent, that CF II redeems all or a portion of its Public Shares for cash, affirmatively certifying in its request if it “IS” or “IS 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 CF II Common Stock; and (3) delivers its Public Shares to CF II’s transfer agent physically or electronically through DTC. In order to obtain a physical share certificate, a stockholder’s broker or clearing broker, DTC and CF II’s transfer agent will need to act to facilitate this request. It is CF II’s understanding that stockholders should generally allot at least two weeks to obtain physical certificates from CF II’s transfer agent. However, because CF II does not have any control over this process or over DTC, it may take significantly longer than two weeks to obtain a physical stock certificate. If it takes longer than anticipated to obtain a physical certificate, public stockholders who wish to redeem their Public Shares may be unable to obtain physical certificates by the deadline for exercising their redemption rights and thus will be unable to redeem their shares.

If the Business Combination is consummated, and if a public stockholder properly exercises its right to redeem all or a portion of the Public Shares that it holds, including timely delivering its shares to CF II’s transfer agent, CF II will redeem such Public Shares for a per-share price, payable in cash calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, including interest (net of taxes payable). Please see the section titled “Special Meeting of CF II Stockholders — Redemption Rights” for additional information on how to exercise your redemption rights.

If a public stockholder fails to receive notice of CF II’s offer to redeem Public Shares in connection with the Business Combination, or fails to comply with the procedures for tendering its shares, such shares may not be redeemed.

If, despite CF II’s compliance with the proxy rules, a public stockholder fails to receive CF II’s proxy materials, such public stockholder may not become aware of the opportunity to redeem his, her or its Public Shares. In addition, the proxy materials that CF II is furnishing to holders of Public Shares in connection with the Business Combination describe the various procedures that must be complied with in order to validly redeem the Public Shares. In the event that a public stockholder fails to comply with these procedures, its Public Shares may not be redeemed. Please see the section titled “Special Meeting of CF II Stockholders — Redemption Rights” for additional information on how to exercise your redemption rights.

If you or a “group” of stockholders of which you are a part are deemed to hold an aggregate of more than 15% of the Public Shares, you (or, if a member of such a group, all of the members of such group in the aggregate) will lose the ability to redeem all such shares in excess of 15% of the Public Shares.

A public stockholder, together with any of his, her or its affiliates or any other person with whom it is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from redeeming in the aggregate his, her or its shares or, if part of such a group, the group’s shares, in excess of 15% of the Public Shares. In order to determine whether a stockholder is acting in concert or as a group with another stockholder, CF II will require each public stockholder seeking to exercise redemption rights to certify to it whether such

100

stockholder is acting in concert or as a group with any other stockholder. Such certifications, together with other public information relating to stock ownership available to CF II at that time, such as Section 13D, Section 13G and Section 16 filings under the Exchange Act, will be the sole basis on which CF II makes the above-referenced determination. Your inability to redeem any such excess shares will reduce your influence over CF II’s ability to consummate the Business Combination and you could suffer a material loss on your investment in CF II if you sell such excess shares in open market transactions. Additionally, you will not receive redemption distributions with respect to such excess shares if CF II consummates the Business Combination. As a result, you will continue to hold that number of shares aggregating to more than 15% of the Public Shares and, in order to dispose of such excess shares, would be required to sell your stock in open market transactions, potentially at a loss. CF II cannot assure you that the value of such excess shares will appreciate over time following the Business Combination or that the market price of the Public Shares will exceed the per-share redemption price. Notwithstanding the foregoing, stockholders may challenge CF II’s determination as to whether a stockholder is acting in concert or as a group with another stockholder in a court of competent jurisdiction.

However, CF II’s stockholders’ ability to vote all of their shares (including such excess shares) for or against the Business Combination is not restricted by this limitation on redemption.

There is no guarantee that a stockholder’s decision whether to redeem its shares for a pro rata portion of the Trust Account will put the stockholder in a better future economic position.

CF II can give no assurance as to the price at which a stockholder may be able to sell its Public Shares in the future following the completion of the Business Combination or any alternative business combination. Certain events following the consummation of any initial business combination, including the Business Combination, may cause an increase in CF II’s share price, and may result in a lower value realized now than a stockholder of CF II might realize in the future had the stockholder not redeemed its shares. Similarly, if a stockholder does not redeem its shares, the stockholder will bear the risk of ownership of the Public Shares after the consummation of any initial business combination, and there can be no assurance that a stockholder can sell its shares in the future for a greater amount than the redemption price set forth in this proxy statement. A stockholder should consult the stockholder’s own tax and/or financial advisor for assistance on how this may affect his, her or its individual situation.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X and presents the combination of the historical financial information of CF II and View adjusted to give effect to the Business Combination and the other events contemplated by the Merger Agreement. Unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, references to the “Combined Entity” refer to CF II and its consolidated subsidiaries after giving effect to the Business Combination.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of September 30, 2020 combines the historical unaudited condensed balance sheet of CF II as of September 30, 2020 with the historical unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet of View as of September 30, 2020 on a pro forma basis as if the Business Combination and the other events contemplated by the Merger Agreement, summarized below, had been consummated on September 30, 2020.

CF II and View have different fiscal years. CF II’s fiscal year ends on March 31, whereas View’s fiscal year ends on December 31. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the six months ended September 30, 2020 combines the historical unaudited condensed statement of operations of CF II for the six months ended September 30, 2020 with the historical unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations of View for the six months ended September 30, 2020. View’s financial results for the six months ended September 30, 2020 have been derived by removing its results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2020 from its results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. View’s revenue and net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2020 that were excluded in deriving the financial results for the six months ended September 30, 2020 were $9.2 million and ($70.9) million, respectively. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the twelve months ended March 31, 2020 has been prepared utilizing period ends that differ by less than 93 days, as permitted by Rule 11-02 Regulation S-X. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the twelve months ended March 31, 2020 combines the audited historical statement of operations of CF II for the period from September 27, 2019 (inception) through March 31, 2020 with the audited historical consolidated statement of operations of View for the twelve months ended December 31, 2019. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations are presented on a pro forma basis as if the Business Combination and the other events contemplated by the Merger Agreement, as summarized below, had been consummated on April 1, 2019.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information was derived from and should be read in conjunction with the following historical financial statements and the accompanying notes, which are included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus:

• the (a) historical audited financial statements of CF II as of March 31, 2020 and for the period from September 27, 2019 (inception) to March 31, 2020 and (b) historical unaudited condensed financial statements of CF II as of and for the six months ended September 30, 2020;

• the (a) historical audited consolidated financial statements of View as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019 and (b) historical unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of View as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2020; and

• other information relating to CF II and View included in this proxy statement/prospectus, including the Merger Agreement and the description of certain terms thereof set forth under the section titled “The Business Combination.”

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information should also be read together with “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of CF II,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of View” and other financial information included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

102

Description of the Business Combination

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into View, with View surviving the Merger. View will become a wholly owned subsidiary of CF II and immediately be renamed “View Operating Corporation” and CF II will immediately be renamed “View, Inc.” Upon the consummation of the Business Combination, all holders of View Capital Stock, View Warrants, and View Options will receive or have the right to receive shares of the Combined Entity Class A Common Stock at a deemed value of $10.00 per share after giving effect to the Exchange Ratio resulting in an estimated 123,124,302 shares of the Combined Entity Class A Common Stock to be immediately issued and outstanding and an estimated 28,314,334 shares to be reserved for the potential future issuance of the Combined Entity Class A Common Stock upon the exercise of the Combined Entity stock options and upon the exercise of the Combined Entity warrants, based on the following transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement:

• the cancellation of each issued and outstanding share of View Capital Stock and the conversion into the right to receive a number of shares of the Combined Entity Class A Common Stock equal to the Exchange Ratio;

• the conversion of all outstanding View Warrants into warrants exercisable for shares of the Combined Entity Class A Common Stock with the same terms except for the number of shares exercisable and the exercise price, each of which was adjusted using the Exchange Ratio; and

• the conversion of all outstanding vested and unvested View Options into options exercisable for shares of the Combined Entity Class A Common Stock with the same terms except for the number of shares exercisable and the exercise price, each of which was adjusted using the Exchange Ratio.

Expected Accounting Treatment of the Business Combination

The Business Combination will be accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with GAAP. Under this method of accounting, CF II will be treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. This determination is primarily based on holders of View Capital Stock comprising a relative majority of the voting power of the Combined Entity and having the ability to nominate the majority of the governing body of the Combined Entity, View’s senior management comprising the senior management of the Combined Entity, and View’s operations comprising the ongoing operations of the Combined Entity. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the financial statements of the Combined Entity will represent a continuation of the financial statements of View with the Business Combination treated as the equivalent of View issuing stock for the net assets of CF II, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of CF II will be stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Operations prior to the Business Combination will be presented as those of View in future reports of the Combined Entity.

Other Events in connection with the Business Combination

Other events that are contemplated to take place in connection with the Business Combination are summarized below:

• the issuance and sale of 30,000,000 shares of the Combined Entity Class A Common Stock at a purchase price of $10.00 per share pursuant to the PIPE Investment;

• if the available cash as of the Closing equals or exceeds $650.0 million, View will prepay in full its debt facilities where the outstanding indebtedness for borrowed money exceeds $100.0 million;

• payment of the $17.5 million business combination marketing fees, $7.5 million of M&A advisory fees payable in shares of Combined Entity Class A Common Stock and $1.5 million of placement agent fees to CF&Co.

• at Closing, the Combined Entity will grant a nonqualified stock option award to its CEO to purchase 25,000,000 shares of the Combined Entity Class A Common Stock in ten separate tranches of

103

2,500,000 shares of the Combined Entity Class A Common Stock (“CEO Option Award”), which will vest upon the achievement of certain stock price hurdle specified for each tranche. The vesting of the awards is contingent upon the continued employment of the CEO at each vesting date. The vested shares will be subject to an eighteen-month holding period. The issuance of the shares upon vesting and exercise will dilute all the Combined Entity Class A Common Stock outstanding at that time;

• it is anticipated that, on the Closing Date, the Combined Entity will grant 17,500,000 equity awards underlying the Combined Entity Class A Common Stock, of which 12,500,000 equity awards will be granted as restricted stock units (“Officer RSUs”) and 5,000,000 equity awards will be granted as stock options (“Officer Options” and collectively with the Officer RSUs, the “Officer Earnout Awards”). The Officer RSUs are subject to both time and market based vesting conditions. The Officer RSUs time vest over a four-year period with 25% to vest on the twelve month anniversary of the Closing and the remaining 75% to vest on a monthly basis over the following thirty-six months, subject to the market based vesting. 50% of the Officer RSUs granted will only vest if the share price hurdle of $15.00 is achieved and the remaining 50% of the Officer RSUs will vest if the share price hurdle of $20.00 is achieved. Officer Options time vest over a four-year period with 25% to vest on the twelve month anniversary of the Closing and the remaining 75% to vest on a monthly basis over the following thirty-six months. The issuance of the shares upon vesting and exercise of the Officer Earnout Awards will dilute all the Combined Entity Class A Common Stock outstanding at that time; and

• at Closing, the Sponsor will subject the 4,970,000 Sponsor Earn-Out Shares to vesting and potential forfeiture (and related transfer restrictions) after the Closing based on a five year post-Closing earnout, with (a) 50% of the Sponsor Earn-Out Shares being released if the stock price of Class A Common Stock exceeds $12.50 for 5 out of any 10 trading days, (b) 25% of the Sponsor Earn-Out Shares being released if the stock price of Class A Common Stock exceeds $15.00 for 5 out of any 10 trading days and (c) 25% of the Sponsor Earn-Out Shares being released if the stock price of Class A Common Stock exceeds $20.00 for 5 out of any 10 trading days, in each case, subject to early release for a Combined Entity sale, change of control or going private transaction or delisting after the Closing.

Basis of Pro Forma Presentation

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X. The historical financial statements have been adjusted in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information to give pro forma effect to events that are: (a) directly attributable to the Business Combination; (b) factually supportable; and (c) with respect to the pro forma statements of operations, expected to have a continuing impact on the results of the Combined Entity. The adjustments in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information have been identified and presented to provide relevant information necessary for an illustrative understanding of the Combined Entity upon consummation of the Business Combination. Assumptions and estimates underlying the unaudited pro forma adjustments set forth in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information are described in the accompanying notes.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been presented for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the operating results and financial position that would have been achieved had the Business Combination occurred on the dates indicated, and do not reflect adjustments for any anticipated synergies, operating efficiencies, tax savings or cost savings. Any cash proceeds remaining after the consummation of the Business Combination and the other events contemplated by the Merger Agreement are expected to be used for general corporate purposes. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not purport to project the future operating results or financial position of the Combined Entity following the completion of the Business Combination. The unaudited pro forma adjustments represent View management’s estimates based on information available as of the date of this unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and is subject to change as additional information becomes available and analyses are performed. CF II and View have not had any historical relationship prior to the transactions. Accordingly, no pro forma adjustments were required to eliminate activities between the companies.

104

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined information contained herein assumes that the CF II stockholders approve the Business Combination. Pursuant to the Existing Charter, CF II’s public stockholders may elect to redeem their Public Shares for cash even if they approve the Business Combination. CF II cannot predict how many of its public stockholders will exercise their right to redeem their Class A Common Stock for cash. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared assuming two redemption scenarios after giving effect to the Business Combination, as follows:

• Assuming No Redemptions — this scenario assumes that no shares of Class A Common Stock are redeemed and since the available cash as of the Closing under this scenario will exceed $650.0 million, View will prepay in full its debt facilities where the outstanding indebtedness for borrowed money exceeds $100.0 million; and

• Assuming Maximum Redemptions — this scenario assumes that 40,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock are redeemed for an aggregate payment of $400.0 million, which is derived from the number of shares that could be redeemed in connection with the Business Combination at an assumed redemption price of approximately $10.00 per share based on the Trust Account balance as of September 30, 2020 and still satisfy the Minimum Available Acquiror Cash required to consummate the Business Combination of at least $400.0 million, after giving effect to the PIPE Investment and before giving effect to the payment for estimated transaction costs of $46.2 million incurred in connection with the Business Combination. Since the available cash as of the Closing under this scenario will be less than $650.0 million, View will not prepay in full its debt facilities where the outstanding indebtedness for borrowed money exceeds $100.0 million.

The following summarizes the pro forma Combined Entity Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately after the Business Combination, presented under the two redemption scenarios:

	Pro Forma Combined (Assuming No Redemptions Scenario) (Shares)		%		Pro Forma Combined (Assuming Maximum Redemptions Scenario) (Shares)		%
CF II Class A stockholders(1)		51,850,000		23.8		11,850,000		6.7
CF II Class B stockholders (converted to Class A Common Stock at Closing)(2)		12,500,000		5.8		12,500,000		7.0
Former View stockholders(3)		123,124,302		56.6		123,124,302		69.4
PIPE Investment(4)		30,000,000		13.8		30,000,000		16.9
Total		217,474,302		100.0		177,474,302		100.0

(1) Includes 750,000 shares to be issued to CF&Co. upon consummation of the business combination pursuant to the Engagement Letter Amendment.

(2) Includes 4,970,000 Sponsor Earn-out Shares subject to forfeiture if the closing stock price of Combined Entity Common Stock does not achieve certain stock price threshold for any five trading days within any ten consecutive trading day during the five-year period following the Closing, as further described herein.

(3) Former View stockholders, including their 16,275,000 of Combined Entity Class A Common Stock purchased in the PIPE Investment (see note 4 below), will own 64.1% and 78.5% of the Combined Entity under the no redemptions and maximum redemptions scenarios, respectively.

(4) Includes 16,275,000 shares and 5,000,000 shares of Combined Entity Class A Common Stock to be issued to existing View stockholders and CF II stockholders, respectively, that participated in the PIPE Investment.

The two alternative levels of redemptions assumed in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet and statements of operations are based on the assumption that there are no adjustments for the outstanding Warrants issued in connection with the IPO as such securities are not exercisable until 30 days after the Closing.

105

There are also no adjustments for the estimated 28,314,334 shares reserved for the potential future issuance of the Combined Entity Class A Common Stock upon the exercise of the Combined Entity stock options and upon the exercise of the Combined Entity warrants to be issued to holders of View Stock Options and View Warrant holders upon the consummation of the business combination, as such events have not yet occurred.

If the actual facts are different than these assumptions, then the amounts and shares outstanding in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information will be different and those changes could be material.
