NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1—Description of Organization and Business Operations

Organization and General

BowX Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”, or BowX), predecessor to WeWork Inc. was incorporated as a Delaware corporation on May 19, 2020. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or other similar business combination (“Business Combination”) with one or more operating businesses or entities that it has not yet selected. The Company is not limited to a particular industry or sector for purposes of consummating a Business Combination. The Company has neither engaged in any operations nor generated revenue to date. As of September 30, 2021, the Company was an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”).

As of September 30, 2021, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from May 19, 2020 (inception) through September 30, 2021, had been related to the Company’s formation and the initial public offering (“Initial Public Offering”) described below, and since the offering, the search for a prospective Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenue until after the completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company generates non-operating income in the form of interest income on investments held in the Trust Account (as defined below).

Sponsor and Financing

The Company’s sponsor is BowX Sponsor, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company of which Vivek Ranadivé, the Company’s Chairman of the Board and Co-Chief Executive Officer, and Murray Rode, the Company’s Co-Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, are the managing members (the “Sponsor”). The registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on August 4, 2020. On August 7, 2020, the Company consummated its Initial Public Offering of 42,000,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the Class A common stock included in the Units being offered, the “Public Shares”) at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $420.0 million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $23.6 million, inclusive of $14.7 million in deferred underwriting commissions (Note 5). On August 10, 2020, the underwriter exercised the over-allotment option to purchase an additional of 6,300,000 Units at the Initial Public Offering price at $10.00 per Unit and the Company consummated the sale of such Units on August 13, 2020, generating additional gross proceeds of $63.0 million, and incurring additional offering costs of approximately $3.5 million, inclusive of approximately $2.2 million in deferred underwriting commissions.

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the private placement (“Private Placement”) of 6,933,333 warrants (each, a “Private Placement Warrant” and collectively, the “Private Placement Warrants”) at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant in a private placement to certain of the Company’s initial stockholders and certain funds and accounts managed by subsidiaries of BlackRock, Inc. (the “Private Placement Warrants Purchasers”), generating gross proceeds of $10.4 million (Note 4), and incurring offering costs of approximately $8,000. In connection with the consummation of the sale of additional Units pursuant to the underwriter’s over-allotment option on August 13, 2020, the Company sold an additional 840,000 Private Placement Warrants to the Private Placement Warrants Purchasers, generating additional gross proceeds of approximately $1.3 million.

Trust Account

Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement (including the exercise of the over-allotment option), $483.0 million ($10.00 per Unit) of the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and Private Placement Warrants in the Private Placement were placed in a trust account (“Trust Account”) located in the United States with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee, and held as cash or invested only in U.S. “government securities,” within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of 185 days or less, or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under the Investment Company Act, which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account as described below.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Initial Business Combination

The Company’s management had broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering, although substantially all of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering were intended to be generally applied toward completing a Business Combination. The Company’s stockholders approved the Business Combination with WeWork Inc. (“WeWork”), the leading flexible space provider. On October 19, 2021, BowX held a special meeting of its stockholders (the “Special Meeting”) in connection with the Business Combination. BowX’s stockholders voted to approve its business combination with WeWork.

The Company, after signing a definitive agreement for a Business Combination, was to either (i) seek stockholder approval of the Business Combination at a meeting called for such purpose in connection with which Public Stockholders may seek to redeem their Public shares, regardless of whether they vote for or against the Business Combination or do not vote at all, for cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the initial Business Combination, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its taxes, or (ii) provide the Public Stockholders with the opportunity to sell their shares to the Company by means of a tender offer for an amount in cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the initial Business Combination, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its taxes. These Public Shares have been recorded at a redemption value and classified as temporary equity, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Prior to the Special Meeting, a total of 15,006,786 shares of Class A Common Stock were presented for redemption for cash at a price of $10.00 per share in connection with the Special Meeting (the “Redemptions”).

Consummated Business Combination

On October 20, 2021, the Company, BowX Merger Subsidiary Corp. (“Merger Sub”), a newly formed wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and WeWork Inc., a Delaware corporation, consummated the previously announced merger pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated March 25, 2021. Merger Sub merged with and into New WeWork Inc., a Delaware corporation formerly known as WeWork Inc. (“Prior WeWork”, and such merger sometimes referred to as the “First Merger”), with Prior WeWork surviving the First Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of BowX (Prior WeWork, in its capacity as the surviving corporation of the First Merger, is sometimes referred to as the “Surviving Corporation”). Immediately following and as part of the same overall transaction as the First Merger, the Surviving Corporation merged with and into BowX Merger Subsidiary II, LLC (“Merger Sub II”), a Delaware limited liability company and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of BowX (the “Second Merger” and, together with the First Merger and with the other transactions described in the Merger Agreement, the “Business Combination”), with Merger Sub II being the surviving entity of the Second Merger. In connection with the closing of the Business Combination, BowX changed its name to WeWork Inc. See the Form 8-K, filed with the SEC on October 26, 2021, for additional information.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Revision to Previously Reported Financial Statements

In preparation of the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for quarterly period ended September 30, 2021, the Company concluded it should revise its financial statements to classify all Class A common stock subject to possible redemption in temporary equity. In accordance with the SEC and its staff’s guidance on redeemable equity instruments, ASC 480, paragraph 10-S99, redemption provisions not solely within the control of the Company require common stock subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity. The Company had previously classified a portion of its Class A common stock in permanent equity, or total stockholders’ equity. Although the Company did not specify a maximum redemption threshold, its charter currently provides that the Company will not redeem its public shares in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001. Previously the Company did not consider redeemable stock classified as temporary equity as part of net tangible assets. Effective with these financial statements, the Company revised this interpretation to include temporary equity in net intangible assets. Accordingly, effective with this filing, the Company presents all redeemable Class A common stock as temporary equity and recognizes accretion from the initial book value to redemption value at the time of its Initial Public Offering (including exercise of the over-allotment option) and in accordance with ASC 480. The change in the carrying value of the redeemable shares of Class A common stock at the Initial Public Offering and over-allotment resulted in a decrease of approximately $5.1 million in additional paid-in capital and an increase of approximately $20.9 million to accumulated deficit, as well as a reclassification of 2,597,621 shares of Class A common stock from permanent equity to temporary equity. The Company will present this revision in a prospective manner in all future filings. Under this approach, the previously issued financial statement included as an exhibit to the Company’s Form 8-K filed with the SEC on August 13, 2020, and Form 10-Qs will not be amended, but historical amounts presented in the current and future filings will be recast to be consistent with the current presentation.

The impact of the revision to the balance sheet as of December 31, 2020, and the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2020, March 31, 2021, and June 30, 2021, is a reclassification of $33.9 million, $30.4 million, $39.5 million and $50.7 million, respectively, from total stockholders’ equity to Class A common stock subject to possible redemption. There is no impact to the reported amounts for total assets, total liabilities, cash flows or net income (loss). In connection with the change in presentation for the Class A common stock subject to possible redemption, the Company has revised its earnings per share calculation to allocate income and losses shared pro rata between the two classes of shares. This presentation contemplates a Business Combination as the most likely outcome, in which case, both classes of shares share pro rata in the income and losses of the Company. 

Principles of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company include its wholly owned subsidiary in connection with the planned merger. All inter-company accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

Emerging Growth Company

As an emerging growth company as of September 30, 2021, the Company could take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

Further, section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such an election to opt out is irrevocable.

emerging growth company, was able to adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. One of the more significant accounting estimates included in these financial statements are the determination of the fair value of the warrant liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents as of September 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution which, at times, may exceed the Federal depository insurance coverage of $250,000, and investments held in Trust Account. The Company has not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts. The Company’s investments held in the Trust Account is comprised of investments in U.S. Treasury securities with an original maturity of 185 days or less or investments in a money market funds that comprise only U.S. treasury securities money market funds.

Investments Held in the Trust Account

The Company’s portfolio of investments held in the Trust Account is comprised of U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of 185 days or less, or investments in money market funds that invest in U.S. government securities and generally have a readily determinable fair value, or a combination thereof. When the Company’s investments held in the Trust Account are comprised of U.S. government securities, the investments are classified as trading securities. When the Company’s investments held in the Trust Account are comprised of money market funds, the investments are recognized at fair value. Trading securities and investments in money market funds are presented on the balance sheets at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value of these securities are included in net gain from investments held in Trust Account in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. The estimated fair values of investments held in the Trust Account are determined using available market information.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities which qualify as financial instruments under the FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements,” equal or approximate the carrying amounts represented in the condensed balance sheets.

Fair Value Measurement

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for sale of an asset or paid for transfer of a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value.

8

WEWORK INC.

(Formerly Known as BowX Acquisition Corp.)

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). These tiers consist of:

• Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical instruments in active markets;

• Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and

• Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

In some circumstances, the inputs used to measure fair value might be categorized within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In those instances, the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Offering Costs Associated with Initial Public Offering

Offering costs consisted of legal, accounting, underwriting fees and other costs incurred through the Initial Public Offering that were directly related to the Initial Public Offering. Offering costs are allocated to the separable financial instruments issued in the Initial Public Offering based on a relative fair value basis, compared to total proceeds received. Offering costs associated with warrant liabilities were expensed as incurred, presented as non-operating expenses in the condensed statements of operations. Offering costs associated with the Class A common stock were charged against the carrying value of the Class A common stock, and offering costs associated with the public warrants were charged to stockholders’ equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering. The Company classifies deferred underwriting commissions as non-current liabilities as their liquidation is not reasonably expected to require the use of current assets or require the creation of current liabilities.

Derivative Warrant Liabilities

The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. The Company evaluates all of its financial instruments, including issued shares purchase warrants, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives, pursuant to ASC 480 and ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”). The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period.

The Company accounts for its warrants issued in connection with the Private Placement as derivative warrant liabilities in accordance with ASC 815. Accordingly, the Company recognizes the warrant instruments as liabilities at fair value and adjusts the instruments to fair value at each reporting period. The liabilities are subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. The fair value of warrants issued by the Company in connection with the Private Placement has been estimated by reference to the Public Warrant trading prices at each measurement date after the units split. The determination of the fair value of the warrant liability may be subject to change as more current information becomes available and accordingly the actual results could differ significantly. Derivative warrant liabilities are classified as non-current liabilities as their liquidation is not reasonably expected to require the use of current assets or require the creation of current liabilities.

Class A Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption

The Company accounts for its Class A common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Shares of Class A common stock subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as liability instruments and are measured at fair value. Shares of conditionally redeemable Class A common stock (including Class A common stock that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, shares of Class A common stock are classified as stockholders’ equity. The Company’s Class A common stock features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, as of September 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, 48,300,000 shares of Class A common stock subject to possible redemption are presented as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ deficit section of the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Effective with the closing of the Initial Public Offering (including exercise of the over-allotment option), the Company recognized the accretion from initial book value to redemption amount, which resulted in charges against additional paid-in capital (to the extent available) and accumulated deficit.

Net Income (Loss) per Share of Common Stock

The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” The Company has two classes of shares, which are referred to as Class A common stock and Class B common stock. Income and losses are shared pro rata between the two classes of shares. Net income (loss) per share of common stock is calculated by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common stock outstanding for the respective period.

The calculation of diluted net loss per share of common stock does not consider the effect of the warrants underlying the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering (including exercise of the over-allotment option) and the Private Placement Warrants to purchase 23,873,333 shares of Class A common stock in the calculation of diluted loss per share, because their exercise is contingent upon future events. As a result, diluted net loss per share of common stock is the same as basic net loss per share of common stock for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, and for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and the period from May 19, 2020 (inception) through September 30, 2020. Accretion associated with the redeemable Class A common stock is excluded from earnings per share as the redemption value approximates fair value.

The table below presents a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used to compute basic and diluted net loss per share of common stock for each class of common stock:

Income Taxes

The Company complies with the accounting and reporting requirements of Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standard Codification, or FASB ASC, 740, “Income Taxes,” which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

FASB ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company’s management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Note 3—Initial Public Offering

Public Units

In August 2020, the Company sold 48,300,000 Units, including 6,300,000 over-allotment Units at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $483.0 million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $27.1 million, inclusive of $16.9 million in deferred underwriting commissions. Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement Warrants in the Private Placement (including the exercise of the over-allotment option), $483.0 million ($10.00 per Unit) of the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement were placed in the Trust Account.

Each Unit consists of one of the Company’s shares of Class A common stock, $0.0001 par value, and one-third of one redeemable warrant (the “Public Warrants” and, collectively with the Private Placement Warrants, the “Warrants”). Each whole Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share. The exercise price and number of shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a stock dividend, or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation.

Note 4—Related Party Transitions

Founder Shares

On May 26, 2020, the Company’s Chairman and Co-Chief Executive Officer paid for certain offering costs for an aggregate price of $25,000 in exchange for issuance of 10,062,500 shares of Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Founder Shares”). In July 2020, the Company’s Chairman and Co-Chief Executive Officer transferred certain Founder Shares to the Company’s directors and officers as well as to certain third parties. On August 4, 2020, the Company effected a stock dividend of 0.2 shares of Class B common stock for each share of Class B common stock outstanding, resulting in an aggregate of 12,075,000 Founder Shares outstanding. All shares and associated amounts have been retroactively restated to reflect the share dividend. Of the 12,075,000 Founder Shares, up to 1,575,000 Founder Shares are subject to forfeiture to the extent that the over-allotment option is not exercised in full by the underwriter so that the Founder Shares will represent 20.0% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares after the Initial Public Offering. The underwriter fully exercised the over-allotment option on August 10, 2020, and the Company consummated the sale of such Units on August 13, 2020; thus, these 1,575,000 Founder Shares were no longer subject to forfeiture.

WEWORK INC.

(Formerly Known as BowX Acquisition Corp.)

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The initial stockholders have agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of the Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of: (A) one year after the completion of the initial Business Combination and (B) subsequent to the initial Business Combination, (x) if the last reported sale price of the Class A common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the initial Business Combination, or (y) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of the Company’s stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property.

Private Placement Warrants

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Private Placement Warrants Purchasers purchased an aggregate of 6,933,333 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrants, generating gross proceeds of $10.4 million in the Private Placement, and incurring offering costs of approximately $8,000. In connection with the sale of Units pursuant to the over-allotment option on August 13, 2020, the Company sold an additional 840,000 Private Placement Warrants to the Private Placement Warrants Purchasers, generating additional gross proceeds of approximately $1.3 million.

Each whole Private Placement Warrant is exercisable for one whole share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants was added to the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering to be held in the Trust Account. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless. The Private Placement Warrants will be non-redeemable for cash (subject to certain exceptions) and exercisable on a cashless basis so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees.

The Private Placement Warrants (and the Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants) will not be transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination (subject to certain exceptions).

Related Party Loans

On May 26, 2020, the Company’s Chairman and Co-Chief Executive Officer agreed to loan the Company up to an aggregate of $150,000 pursuant to an unsecured promissory note (the “Note”) to cover expenses related to the Initial Public Offering. This loan was payable without interest upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering. The Company borrowed approximately $150,000 under the Note and received additional advances of approximately $45,000 advancement of funds from such officer, for a total outstanding loan of approximately $195,000. The Company fully repaid the Note and the advances to such officer on August 7, 2020.

Working Capital Loans

In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial Business Combination, the initial stockholders, officers and directors and their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (the “Working Capital Loans”). Up to $1.5 million of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into warrants of the post-Business Combination entity at a price of $1.50 per warrant at the option of the lender. Such warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. Except for the foregoing, the terms of such loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans to date. To date, the Company had no borrowings under the Working Capital Loans.

Note 5—Commitments and Contingencies

Registration Rights

The initial stockholders and holders of the Private Placement Warrants are entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement. The initial stockholders and holders of the Private Placement Warrants will be entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form registration demands, that the Company register such securities for sale under the Securities Act. In addition, these holders will have “piggy-back” registration rights to include their securities in other registration statements filed by the Company. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Underwriting Agreement

Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, as described in Note 3, $0.35 per unit, or $16.9 million in the aggregate, including the over-allotment fees, was payable to the underwriter for deferred underwriting commissions. The deferred fee was paid to the underwriter at the close of the Business Combination from the amounts held in the Trust Account in accordance with the terms of the underwriting agreement.

Contingent Fees

The Company has entered into certain consulting arrangements for due diligence, a transaction advisory agreement, and a placement agent arrangement in connection with its search for a prospective initial Business Combination. A portion of the fees in connection with the services rendered as of September 30, 2021 have been deferred and were contingent upon the closing of a Business Combination and therefore not included as liabilities on the accompanying condensed balance sheet. As of September 30, 2021, these fees were approximately $28.9 million.

Note 6—Warrants

Public Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares. No fractional Public Warrants will be issued upon separation of the Units and only whole Public Warrants will trade. The Public Warrants will become exercisable on the later of (a) 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination and (b) 12 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering; provided in each case that the Company has an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the issuance of the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants and a current prospectus relating to them is available and such shares are registered, qualified or exempt from registration under the securities, or blue sky, laws of the state of residence of the holder (or the Company permits holders to exercise their Public Warrants on a cashless basis under certain circumstances). The Company has agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15 business days after the closing of the initial Business Combination, the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to file, and within 60 business days following the initial Business Combination to have declared effective, a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the issuance of the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement and a current prospectus relating to those shares of Class A common stock until the Warrants expire or are redeemed; provided that, if the Class A common stock is at the time of any exercise of a Warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that it satisfies the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, the Company may, at its option, require holders of Public Warrants who exercise their Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event the Company so elects, it will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, but it will be required to use its best efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available.

The Warrants will have an exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment, and will expire five years after the completion of a Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

In addition, if (x) the Company issues additional shares or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of the initial Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, rights issuances, subdivisions, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by the Company’s board of directors, and in the case of any such issuance to the Company’s initial stockholders, officers, directors or their affiliates, without taking into account any Founder Shares held by them prior to such issuance) (the “Newly Issued Price”), (y) the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent more than 60% of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available for the funding of the initial Business Combination on the date of the consummation of the initial Business Combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of the Company’s shares of Class A common stock during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which the Company consummates its initial Business Combination (such price, the “Market Value”) is below $9.20 per share, the exercise price of each Warrant will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) such that the effective exercise price per full share will be equal to 115% of the higher of (i) the Market Value and (ii) the Newly Issued Price, and the $18.00 per-share redemption trigger price described below will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 180% of the higher of (i) the Market Value and (ii) the Newly Issued Price.

The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants, except that (1) the Private Placement Warrants and the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants will not be transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions, (2) the Private Placement Warrants will be non-redeemable (subject to certain exceptions) and exercisable on a cashless basis so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees and (3) the initial purchasers and their permitted transferees will also have certain registration rights related to the private placement warrants (including the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by someone other than the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants.

Once the Warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding Warrants (except for the Private Placement Warrants):

• in whole and not in part;

• at a price of $0.01 per Warrant;

• upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption; and

• if, and only if, the last reported sale price of the Class A common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period commencing once the Warrants become exercisable and ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the Warrant holders.

If the Company calls the Public Warrants for redemption, management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise the Public Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis,” as described in the warrant agreement.

Commencing ninety days after the Warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding Warrants:

• in whole and not in part;

• at $0.10 per Warrant upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption provided that holders will be able to exercise their Warrants on a cashless basis prior to redemption and receive that number of shares of Class A common stock to be determined by reference to an agreed table based on the redemption date and the “fair market value” of the Company’s Class A common stock;

• if, and only if, the last reported sale price of the Company’s Class A common stock equals or exceeds $10.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) on the trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the Warrant holders;

• if, and only if, the Private Placement Warrants are also concurrently called for redemption on the same terms as the outstanding Public Warrants, as described above; and

• if, and only if, there is an effective registration statement covering the issuance of the shares of Class A common stock (or a security other than the Class A common stock into which the Class A common stock has been converted or exchanged for in the event the Company is not the surviving company in the initial Business Combination) issuable upon exercise of the Warrants and a current prospectus relating thereto available throughout the 30-day period after written notice of redemption is given.

The “fair market value” of the Class A common stock for this purpose shall mean the average last reported sale price of the Class A common stock for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of Warrants.

In no event will the Company be required to net cash settle any Warrant. If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and the Company liquidates the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of Warrants will not receive any of such funds with respect to their Warrants, nor will they receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with the respect to such Warrants. Accordingly, the Warrants may expire worthless.

On August 4, 2020, the Company effected a stock dividend of 0.2 shares of Class B common stock for each share of Class B common stock outstanding. All shares and associated amounts have been retroactively restated to reflect the share dividend including up to 1,575,000 which were subject to forfeiture to the Company to the extent that the underwriter’s over-allotment option was not exercised in full or in part, so that the shares of Class B common stock will represent 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock after the Initial Public Offering. On August 10, 2020, the underwriter exercised the over-allotment option in full.

In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “continue,” or the negative of such terms or other similar expressions. Factors that might cause or contribute to such a discrepancy include, but are not limited to, those described in our other U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filings.

Overview

We are a blank check company incorporated as a Delaware corporation on May 19, 2020. We were formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”). We are not limited to a particular industry or sector for purposes of consummating a Business Combination. As of September 30, 2021, we were an emerging growth company and, as such, we were subject to all of the risks associated with emerging growth companies.

Our sponsor is BowX Sponsor, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company of which Vivek Ranadivé, the Company’s Chairman and Co-Chief Executive Officer, and Murray Rode, our Co-Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, are the managing members (the “Sponsor”). The registration statement for the initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering”) was declared effective on August 4, 2020. On August 7, 2020, we consummated our Initial Public Offering of 42,000,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the Class A common stock included in the Units being offered, the “Public Shares”) at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $420.0 million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $23.7 million, inclusive of $14.7 million in deferred underwriting commissions. On August 10, 2020, the underwriter exercised the over-allotment option to purchase an additional of 6,300,000 Units at the Initial Public Offering price at $10.00 per Unit and we consummated the sale of such Units on August 13, 2020, generating additional gross proceeds of $63.0 million, and incurring additional offering costs of approximately $3.5 million, inclusive of approximately $2.2 million in deferred underwriting commissions.

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the private placement (“Private Placement”) of 6,933,333 warrants (each, a “Private Placement Warrant” and collectively, the “Private Placement Warrants”) at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant in a private placement to certain of the initial stockholders and certain funds and accounts managed by subsidiaries of BlackRock, Inc (the “Private Placement Warrants Purchasers”), generating gross proceeds of $10.4 million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $8,000. In connection with the consummation of the sale of additional Units pursuant to the underwriter’s over-allotment option on August 13, 2020, we sold an additional 840,000 Private Placement Warrants to the Private Placement Warrants Purchasers, generating additional gross proceeds of approximately $1.3 million.

Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement (including the exercise of the over-allotment) $483.0 million ($10.00 per Unit) of the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement were placed in a trust account (“Trust Account”) located in the United States with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee, and held as cash or invested only in U.S. “government securities,” within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of 185 days or less, or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under the Investment Company Act, which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations, as determined by us, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account as described below.

Consummated Business Combination

On October 20, 2021, we, BowX Merger Subsidiary Corp., a newly formed wholly owned subsidiary of us, and WeWork Inc., a Delaware corporation (“WeWork”), consummated the previously announced merger pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated March 25, 2021. See the Form 8-K, filed with the SEC on October 26, 2021, for additional information.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September 30, 2021, we had approximately $242,000 in cash and working capital deficit of approximately $5.8 million.

Through September 30, 2021, our liquidity needs were satisfied through a payment of $25,000 from the Company’s Chairman and Co-Chief Executive Officer to cover for certain offering costs in exchange for the issuance of the Founder Shares, and the loan under the Note of approximately $150,000 to us to cover for offering costs in connection with the Initial Public Offering. Subsequent to the consummation of the Initial Public Offering on August 7, 2020, the liquidity needs have been satisfied through the net proceeds from the consummation of the Private Placement not held in the Trust Account. We fully repaid the Note on August 7, 2020.

Results of Operations

Our entire activity since inception through September 30, 2021, was in preparation for our formation, the Initial Public Offering, and, since the closing of our Initial Public Offering, a search for business combination candidates including due diligence on the WeWork transaction. We will not be generating any operating revenues until the closing and completion of our initial Business Combination.

For the three months ended September 30, 2021, we had a net income of approximately $6.9 million, which consisted of approximately $9.8 million in change in fair value of warrant liabilities and approximately $7,000 of interest income from investments held in Trust Account, partially offset by approximately $2.8 million in general and administrative expenses and approximately $50,000 in franchise tax expense.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we had net loss of approximately $9.9 million, which consisted of approximately $6.9 million in general and administrative expenses, approximately $2.9 million in change in fair value of warrant liabilities and approximately $150,000 in franchise tax expense, partially offset by approximately $66,000 of interest income from investments held in Trust Account.

For the three months ended September 30, 2020, we had net loss of approximately $1.3 million, which consisted of approximately $93,000 in general and administrative expenses, approximately $1.2 million in change in fair value of warrant liabilities, approximately $49,000 in franchise tax expense and approximately $10,000 offering costs associated with private placement warrants, partially offset by approximately $84,000 of interest income from investments held in Trust Account.

For the period from May 19, 2020 (inception) through September 30, 2020, we had net loss of approximately $1.3 million, which consisted of approximately $93,000 in general and administrative expenses, approximately $1.2 million in change in fair value of warrant liabilities, approximately $72,000 in franchise tax expense, approximately $2,000 of income tax expense, and approximately $10,000 offering costs associated with private placement warrants, partially offset by approximately $84,000 of interest income from investments held in Trust Account.

Related Party Transactions

Founder Shares

On May 26, 2020, we issued 10,062,500 shares of Class B common stock to our Company’s Chairman and Co-Chief Executive Officer in exchange for a payment of $25,000 for offering costs made by our Sponsor on behalf of our company (the “Founder Shares”). In July 2020, the Chairman and Co-Chief Executive Officer transferred certain Founder Shares to our directors and officers as well as to certain third parties. On August 4, 2020, we effected a stock dividend of 0.2 shares of Class B common stock for each share of Class B common stock outstanding, resulting in an aggregate of 12,075,000 Founder Shares outstanding. All shares and associated amounts have been retroactively restated to reflect the share dividend. On August 13, 2020, the underwriters exercised their 15% over-allotment option in full; thus, the Founder Shares were no longer subject to forfeiture.

The initial stockholders have agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of the Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of: (A) one year after the completion of the initial Business Combination and (B) subsequent to the initial Business Combination, (x) if the last reported sale price of the Class A common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the initial Business Combination, or (y) the date on which we complete a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of our stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property.

Related Party Loans

On May 26, 2020, our Chairman and Co-Chief Executive Officer agreed to loan us up to an aggregate of $150,000 pursuant to an unsecured promissory note (the “Note”) to cover expenses related to the Initial Public Offering. This loan was payable without interest upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering. We borrowed up to the full amount of the Note and received additional advances of approximately $45,000 advancement of funds from such officer, for a total outstanding loan of approximately $195,000. We fully repaid the Note and the advances to such officer on August 7, 2020.

In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial Business Combination, the initial stockholders, officers and directors and their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required (the “Working Capital Loans”). Up to $1.5 million of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into warrants of the post-Business Combination entity at a price of $1.50 per warrant at the option of the lender. Such warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. Except for the foregoing, the terms of such loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans to date. To date, we did not have any borrowings under the Working Capital Loans.

Contractual Obligations

Registration Rights

The initial stockholders and holders of the Private Placement Warrants are entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement. The initial stockholders and holders of the Private Placement Warrants will be entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form registration demands, that we register such securities for sale under the Securities Act. In addition, these holders will have “piggy-back” registration rights to include their securities in other registration statements filed by us. We will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Underwriting Agreement

We granted the underwriter a 45-day option to purchase up to 6,300,000 additional Units to cover any over-allotments, at the Initial Public Offering price less the underwriting discounts and commissions. On August 10, 2020, the underwriter fully exercised the over-allotment option.

The underwriter was entitled to an underwriting discount of $0.20 per unit, or $8.4 million in the aggregate, paid upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering. In addition, $0.35 per unit, or $14.7 million in the aggregate was paid to the underwriter for deferred underwriting commissions. The deferred fee was paid to the underwriter from the amounts held in the Trust Account in accordance with the terms of the underwriting agreement.

20

In connection with the consummation of the sale of Units pursuant to the over-allotment option on August 13, 2020, the underwriter received an aggregate of $1.26 million in underwriting fees and additional deferred underwriting commissions of approximately $2.2 million.

Contingent Fees

We entered into certain consulting arrangements for due diligence, a transaction advisory agreement, and a placement agent arrangement in connection with our search for a prospective initial Business Combination. A portion of the fees in connection with the services rendered as of September 30, 2021 have been deferred and were contingent upon the closing of a Business Combination and therefore not included as liabilities on the accompanying condensed balance sheet. As of September 30, 2021, these fees were approximately $28.9 million.

Critical Accounting Policies

Investments Held in the Trust Account

Our portfolio of investments held in the Trust Account is comprised of U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of 185 days or less, or investments in money market funds that invest in U.S. government securities and generally have a readily determinable fair value, or a combination thereof. When the investments held in the Trust Account are comprised of U.S. government securities, the investments are classified as trading securities. When the investments held in the Trust Account are comprised of money market funds, the investments are recognized at fair value. Trading securities and investments in money market funds are presented on the balance sheets at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value of these securities are included in net gain from investments held in Trust Account in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. The estimated fair values of investments held in the Trust Account are determined using available market information.

Class A Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption

We account for our Class A common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Shares of Class A common stock subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as liability instruments and are measured at fair value. Shares of conditionally redeemable Class A common stock (including Class A common stock that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within our control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, shares of Class A common stock are classified as stockholders’ equity. Our Class A common stock features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of our control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, 48,300,000 shares of Class A common stock subject to possible redemption are presented as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ equity section of the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Net Income (Loss) per Share of Common Stock

We comply with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” We have two classes of shares, which are referred to as Class A common stock and Class B common stock. Income and losses are shared pro rata between the two classes of shares. Net income (loss) per share of common stock is calculated by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common stock outstanding for the respective period.

The calculation of diluted net income (loss) per share of common stock does not consider the effect of the warrants underlying the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering (including exercise of the over-allotment option) and the Private Placement Warrants to purchase 23,873,333 shares of Class A common stock in the calculation of diluted loss per share, because their exercise is contingent upon future events. As a result, diluted net loss per share of common stock is the same as basic net loss per share of common stock for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, and for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and the period from May 19, 2020 (inception) through September 30, 2020. Accretion associated with the redeemable Class A common stock is excluded from earnings per share as the redemption value approximates fair value.

21

Derivative Warrant Liabilities

We do not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. We evaluate all of its financial instruments, including issued shares purchase warrants, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives, pursuant to ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”). The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period.

We account for the warrants issued in connection with the Private Placement as derivative warrant liabilities in accordance with ASC 815. Accordingly, we recognize the warrant instruments as liabilities at fair value and adjusts the instruments to fair value at each reporting period. The liabilities are subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in the statements of operations. The fair value of warrants issued by us in connection with the Private Placement has been estimated using Public Warrant trading prices at each measurement date. The determination of the fair value of the warrant liability may be subject to change as more current information becomes available and accordingly the actual results could differ significantly. Derivative warrant liabilities are classified as non-current liabilities as their liquidation is not reasonably expected to require the use of current assets or require the creation of current liabilities.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Our management does not believe there are any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, that would have a material effect on our financial statements.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of September 30, 2021, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K.

JOBS Act

The Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”) contains provisions that, among other things, relax certain reporting requirements for qualifying public companies. As of September 30, 2021, we qualified as an “emerging growth company” and under the JOBS Act were allowed to comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements based on the effective date for private (not publicly traded) companies. We elected to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards, and as a result, we may not have complied with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards was required for non-emerging growth companies. As a result, the unaudited condensed financial statements may not be comparable to companies that complied with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information otherwise required under this item.

22

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

Our management evaluated, with the participation of our current chief executive officer and chief financial officer (our “Certifying Officers”), the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2021, pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, our Certifying Officers concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2021.

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in company reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2021, covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. The material weakness discussed below was remediated during the quarter ended September 30, 2021.

Remediation of a Material Weakness in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We recognize the importance of the control environment as it sets the overall tone for the Company and is the foundation for all other components of internal control. Consequently, we designed and implemented remediation measures to address the material weakness previously identified in the second quarter of 2021 and enhanced our internal control over financial reporting. In light of the material weakness, we enhanced our processes to identify and appropriately apply applicable accounting requirements to better evaluate and understand the nuances of the complex accounting standards that apply to our condensed consolidated financial statements, including providing enhanced access to accounting literature, research materials and documents and increased communication among our personnel and third-party professionals with whom we consult regarding complex accounting applications. As a result of these enhancements, our management concluded that the material weakness was remediated as of September 30, 2021.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

From time to time, the Company is involved in legal matters arising in the ordinary course of business. While management believes that such matters are currently not material, there can be no assurance that matters arising in the ordinary course of business for which the Company is, or could be, involved in litigation, will not have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition or results of operations.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

On August 7, 2020, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 42,000,000 Units. The Units sold in the Initial Public Offering were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per unit, generating total gross proceeds of $420 million. UBS Securities LLC acted as sole book-running manager. The securities in the offering were registered under the Securities Act on registration statements on Form S-1 (Nos. 333-239941 and 333-240430). The SEC declared the registration statements effective on August 4, 2020.

Simultaneous with the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the private placement of an aggregate of 6,933,333 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant, generating total proceed of $10.4 million. The issuance was made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

23

On August 10, 2020, the underwriters exercised the over-allotment option to purchase an additional of 6,300,000 Units at the Initial Public Offering price at $10.00 per Unit and we consummated the sale of such Units on August 13, 2020, generating additional gross proceeds of $63.0 million, and incurring additional offering costs of approximately $3.5 million, inclusive of an additional of approximately $2.2 million in deferred underwriting commissions.

In connection with the consummation of the sale of additional Units pursuant to the underwriter’s over-allotment option on August 13, 2020, we sold an additional 840,000 Private Placement Warrants to the Private Placement Warrants Purchasers, generating additional gross proceeds of approximately $1.3 million.

Of the gross proceeds received from the Initial Public Offering and sale of the Private Placement Warrants, including the over-allotment exercise, $483,000,000 was placed in the Trust Account.

For a description of the use of the proceeds generated in our Initial Public Offering, see Part I, Item 2 of this Form 10-Q.

As of September 30, 2021, after giving effect to our Initial Public Offering and our operations subsequent thereto, approximately $483.1 million was held in the Trust Account, and we had approximately $242,000 of unrestricted cash available to us for our activities in connection with identifying and conducting due diligence of a suitable Business Combination, and for general corporate matters.
