Registration Rights

The holders of Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans (and any shares of Class A common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans) are entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement signed upon the consummation of the Initial Public Offering. These holders will be entitled to certain demand and “piggyback” registration rights. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements. However, the registration and stockholder rights agreement will provide that the Company will not be required to effect or permit any registration or cause any registration statement to become effective until termination of the applicable lock-up period.

Underwriting Agreement

The underwriters were entitled to an underwriting discount of $0.20 per Unit, or approximately $3.45 million in the aggregate, paid upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering. An additional fee of $0.40 per Unit, or $6.9 million in the aggregate will be payable to the underwriters for deferred underwriting commissions. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completes a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

The underwriters also made a payment to the Company in an amount equal to 1.0% of the gross proceeds of the Initial Public Offering, or approximately $1.7 million in the aggregate to reimburse certain of the Company’s expenses.

Deferred Consulting Fees

In September 2020, the Company entered into an engagement letter with a consultant to obtain advisory services in connection with its search for a business combination target, pursuant to which the Company agreed to pay a $10,000 initial fee upon execution and a deferred success fee of $50,000 upon the consummation of the Initial Business Combination.

Risks and Uncertainties

Management continues to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 global pandemic and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the virus could have a negative effect on the Company’s financial position and/or search for a target company, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of the financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Operating Leases

The Company is party to numerous operating leases, primarily for vacation properties and corporate headquarters. These leases generally require the Company to pay taxes, insurance, utilities, and maintenance costs. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company claimed force majeure within a number of its lease agreements due to effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and did not require payment during the force majeure period. Total rent expense under all leases was $48.3 million, $39.8 million, and $64.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2020, and 2021 respectively.

Future minimum annual commitments under these operating leases are as follows:

Litigation

The Company may be named as a defendant in various actions and proceedings arising in the normal course of business. The Company believes that the impact of any such matters will not have a material adverse effect on its consolidated results of operations, financial position, or cash flows. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had no significant pending or threatened litigation.

Reimbursement and Security Agreement

In March 2017, in association with the execution of a surety bond agreement, the Company issued 11,690 warrants to five indemnitors to purchase Series E preferred units at an exercise price of $128.29 per unit, which expire at the earlier of a deemed liquidation event, as defined by the agreement, the closing on an initial public offering, or March 2022. The Company resolved to increase the number of Series E preferred units authorized as the warrants are exercised. The Company estimated the fair value of the warrants on the date of issuance to be $862 thousand using the Black-Scholes pricing model with the following assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 1.7%, no dividends, an expected volatility of 68.1%, and a contractual life of four years. The initial fair value was recorded as a deferred financing cost during the year ended December 31, 2017 and is amortized over the term of the agreement. As of December 31, 2021, no warrants had been exercised. However, all warrants were exercised in conjunction with the Thayer business combination discussed in Note 16 below.

In November 2018, the related reserve requirement and surety bond were reduced from $30 million to $20 million. The existing surety bond agreement scheduled to expire on March 1, 2019 was replaced with a new agreement backed by two individual

indemnitors who are also related parties. The new agreement reduced the indemnitor requirement to $7.5 million or $3.8 million per indemnitor. Interest payable to the indemnitors is accrued at 7.0 percent per annum. The Company incurred interest expense of $1.2 million, $0 and $0 during the years ended December 31, 2019, 2020 and 2021 respectively, related to the surety bond agreement.

In September 2019, the existing surety bond agreement which was scheduled to expire on March 1, 2020, was replaced with a new agreement that removed the individual indemnitors leaving only a corporate Indemnity and removing the interest payable requirement. This agreement was renewed in September 2020 through September 2021, then additionally renewed September 2021 through September 2022.
