Item 8.01 Other Events

As previously disclosed, on November 30, 2020, CF Finance Acquisition Corp. II, a Delaware corporation (“CF II”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with PVMS Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned direct subsidiary of CF II (“Merger Sub”), and View, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“View”), pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into View (the “Merger” and together with the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the “Transactions”), 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.

CF II issued a press release today announcing that the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) has declared effective its registration statement on Form S-4 (the “S-4 Registration Statement”) filed in connection with the Transactions and that a special meeting (the “Meeting”) of its stockholders will be held on Friday, March 5, 2021 at 10:00 a.m., Eastern Time. The purpose of the Meeting is to vote on certain proposals relating to the Transactions. A copy of the press release is filed herewith as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

Important Information and Where to Find It

This Current Report on Form 8-K relates to the proposed Transactions between CF II and View. This Current Report on Form 8-K does not constitute an offer to sell or exchange, or the solicitation of an offer to buy or exchange, any securities, nor shall there be any sale of securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, sale or exchange would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. In connection with the Transactions, CF has filed the S-4 Registration Statement and a definitive proxy statement/prospectus. The definitive proxy statement/prospectus will be sent to all CF II stockholders. CF II may also file other documents regarding the proposed Transactions with the SEC. Before making any voting or investment decision, investors and security holders of CF II are urged to read the registration statement, the proxy statement/prospectus and all other relevant documents filed or that will be filed with the SEC in connection with the proposed Transactions as they become available because they will contain important information about the proposed Transactions, CF II and View.

Investors and security holders will be able to obtain free copies of the proxy statement/prospectus and all other relevant documents filed or that will be filed with the SEC by CF II through the website maintained by the SEC at www.sec.gov or by directing a request to CF II to 110 East 59th Street, New York, NY 10022 or via email at CFFinanceII@cantor.com or at (212) 938-5000.

Participants in the Solicitation

CF II and View and their respective directors and executive officers may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies from CF II’s stockholders in connection with the proposed Transactions. Information about CF II’s directors and executive officers and their ownership of CF II’s securities is set forth in CF II’s filings with the SEC. Additional information regarding the interests of those persons and other persons who may be deemed participants in the proposed Transactions may be obtained by reading the proxy statement/prospectus regarding the proposed Transactions. You may obtain free copies of these documents as described in the preceding paragraph.

Non-Solicitation

This Current Report on Form 8-K is not a proxy statement or solicitation of a proxy, consent or authorization with respect to any securities or in respect of the potential Transactions and shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy the securities of CF II or View, nor shall there be any sale of any such securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of such state or jurisdiction. No offer of securities shall be made except by means of a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act.


Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements included in this Current Report on Form 8-K that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including safe harbor provisions under the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are sometimes accompanied by words such as “believe,” “continue,” “project,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “strategy,” “future,” “opportunity,” “predict,” “plan,” “may,” “should,” “will,” “would,” “potential,” “seem,” “seek,” “outlook” and similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters. Forward-looking statements are predictions, projections and other statements about future events that are based on current expectations and assumptions and, as a result, are subject to risks and uncertainties. These statements are based on various assumptions, whether or not identified in this Current Report on Form 8-K. These forward-looking statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to serve as, and must not be relied on by an investor as, a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction or a definitive statement of fact or probability. Actual events and circumstances are difficult or impossible to predict and will differ from assumptions. Many actual events and circumstances are beyond the control of CF II and View. Many factors could cause actual future events to differ from the forward-looking statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K, including but not limited to: (i) the risk that the Transactions may not be completed in a timely manner or at all, which may adversely affect the price of CF II’s securities, (ii) the risk that the Transactions may not be completed by CF II’s business combination deadline and the potential failure to obtain an extension of the business combination deadline if sought by CF II, (iii) the failure to satisfy the conditions to the consummation of the Transactions, including the approval by the stockholders of CF II, the satisfaction of the minimum trust account amount following any redemptions by CF II’s public stockholders and the receipt of certain governmental and regulatory approvals, (iv) the inability to complete the PIPE Investments, (v) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the Merger Agreement, (vi) the effect of the announcement or pendency of the Transactions on View’s business relationships, operating results, and business generally, (vii) risks that the Transactions disrupt current plans and operations of View and potential difficulties in View employee retention as a result of the Transactions, (viii) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against View or against CF II related to the Merger Agreement or the Transactions, (ix) the ability to maintain the listing of CF II stock on the Nasdaq Stock Market, (x) volatility in the price of CF II’s securities, (xi) changes in competitive and regulated industries in which View operates, variations in operating performance across competitors, changes in laws and regulations affecting View’s business and changes in the combined capital structure, (xii) the ability to implement business plans, forecasts, and other expectations after the completion of the Transactions, and identify and realize additional opportunities,(xiii) the potential inability of View to increase its manufacturing capacity or to achieve efficiencies regarding its manufacturing process or other costs, (xiv) the enforceability of View’s intellectual property, including its patents and the potential infringement on the intellectual property rights of others, (xv) the risk of downturns and a changing regulatory landscape in the highly competitive industry in which View operates, and (xvi) costs related to the Transactions and the failure to realize anticipated benefits of the Transactions or to realize estimated pro forma results and underlying assumptions, including with respect to estimated stockholder redemptions. These risks and uncertainties may be amplified by the COVID-19 pandemic, which has caused significant economic uncertainty. The foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. You should carefully consider the foregoing factors and the other risks and uncertainties described in the “Risk Factors” section of CF II’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, the S-4 Registration Statement and other documents filed by CF II from time to time with the SEC. These filings identify and address other important risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events and results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements, and View and CF II assume no obligation and do not intend to update or revise these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. Neither View nor CF II gives any assurance that either View or CF II will achieve its expectations.
