ECP ENVIRONMENTAL GROWTH OPPORTUNITIES CORP.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2021

Note 1—Description of Organization and Business Operations

ECP Environmental Growth Opportunities Corp. (the “Company”) is a blank check company formed as a Delaware corporation on October 29, 2020. The Company was incorporated for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (“Business Combination”). ENNV Merger Sub, Inc. (“Merger Sub”) is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company formed as a Delaware corporation on June 24, 2021.

As of June 30, 2021, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity through June 30, 2021 relates to the Company’s formation and the initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering”), which is described below. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.

On February 11, 2021, the Company consummated its Initial Public Offering of 34,500,000 units (the “Units”), including 4,500,000 Units sold pursuant to the full exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional Units to cover over-allotments. The Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $345,000,000, which is described in Note 3.

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company completed two private sales of an aggregate 6,266,667 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) at a purchase price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant (the “Private Placements”), to ENNV Holdings, LLC (the “Sponsor”) and Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (“GSAM”), in its capacity as investment adviser on behalf of its clients (the “GSAM Client Accounts”), generating aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of $9,400,000, which is described in Note 3.

Offering costs consist of legal, accounting, underwriting and other costs incurred through the condensed consolidated balance sheet date that are directly related to the Initial Public Offering. Upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering in February 2021, the offering costs totaling $19,606,427 were allocated between stockholders’ equity ($18,855,685) and other expenses ($750,743) based on the fair value of warrant liabilities relative to the Initial Public Offering proceeds recognized in stockholders’ equity. During the quarter ended June 30, 2021, an additional $2.4 million in offering costs were incurred on Founder Shares issued to related party, which is described in Note 5.

Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering on February 11, 2021, an amount of $345,000,000 ($10.00 per Unit) comprised of $338,100,000 of the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering, including $12,075,000 of the underwriters’ deferred discount, and $6,900,000 of the proceeds from the Private Placements were placed in a U.S.-based trust account at Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC maintained by American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, acting as trustee. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds in the trust account that may be released to the Company to pay its franchise and income taxes and expenses relating to the administration of the trust account, the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placements held in the trust account will not be released until the earliest of (a) the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination, (b) the redemption of any public shares properly tendered in connection with a stockholder vote to amend the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (i) to modify the substance or timing of its obligation to redeem 100% of its public shares if the Company does not complete its initial Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering or (ii) with respect to any other provisions relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity, and (c) the redemption of all of the Company’s public shares if it is unable to complete its Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering, subject to applicable law.

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of its Initial Public Offering and the sale of Private Placement Warrants, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. The Company’s initial Business Combination must be with one or more operating businesses or assets that together have an aggregate fair market value equal to at least 80% of the net assets held in the Trust Account (as defined below) (excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on the interest earned on the Trust Account) at the time the Company signs a definitive agreement in connection with the initial Business Combination. However, the Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise is not required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act 1940, as amended, or the Investment Company Act. Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, an amount equal to at least $10.00 per Unit sold in the Initial Public Offering, including the proceeds of the Private Placement Warrants, are held in a trust account (“Trust Account”) with the American Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee and invested in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated 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.

The Company will provide its holders of the public shares (the “Public Stockholders”) with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of a Business Combination either (i) in connection with a stockholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek stockholder approval of a Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion. The Public Stockholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account (initially anticipated to be $10.00 per share, plus any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its tax obligations). The per-

share amount to be distributed to Public Stockholders who redeem their Public Shares will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting commissions the Company will pay to the underwriters (as discussed in Note 5). These Public Shares were recorded at a redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” In such case, the Company will proceed with a Business Combination if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 upon such consummation of a Business Combination and a majority of the shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination. If a stockholder vote is not required by law and the Company does not decide to hold a stockholder vote for business or other legal reasons, the Company will, pursuant to the amended and restated certificate of incorporation, which was adopted by the Company upon the consummation of the Initial Public Offering (the “Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation”), conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination. If, however, a stockholder approval of the transactions is required by law, or the Company decides to obtain stockholder approval for business or legal reasons, the Company will offer to redeem shares in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules and not pursuant to the tender offer rules. Additionally, each Public Stockholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares irrespective of whether they vote for or against the transaction. If the Company seeks stockholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, the holders of the Founder Shares prior to this Initial Public Offering (the “Initial Stockholders”) have agreed to vote their Founder Shares (as defined in Note 4) and any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering in favor of a Business Combination. In addition, the Initial Stockholders have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares and Public Shares in connection with the completion of a Business Combination.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation will provide that a Public Stockholder, together with any affiliate of such stockholder or any other person with whom such stockholder 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 its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% or more of the Class A common stock sold in the Initial Public Offering, without the prior consent of the Company.

The Company’s Sponsor, executive officers, directors and director nominees have agreed not to propose an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation that would affect the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to provide for the redemption of its Public Shares in connection with a Business Combination or to redeem 100% of its Public Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination, unless the Company provides the Public Stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their Class A common stock in conjunction with any such amendment.

If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering (the “Combination Period”), the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its taxes, if any (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses) divided by the number of the then-outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Public Stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any); and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining stockholders and the board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to the Company’s warrants, which will expire worthless if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period.

In connection with the redemption of 100% of the Company’s outstanding Public Shares for a portion of the funds held in the Trust Account, each holder will receive a full pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account, plus any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay the Company’s taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses).

The Initial Stockholders have agreed to waive their liquidation rights with respect to the Founder Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if the Initial Stockholders should acquire Public Shares in or after the Initial Public Offering, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such Public Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. The underwriters have agreed to waive their rights to their deferred underwriting commission (see Note 5) held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within in the Combination Period and, in such event, such amounts will be included with the funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the Company’s Public Shares. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the residual assets remaining available for distribution (including Trust Account assets) will be only $10.00 per share initially held in the Trust Account. In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or other similar agreement or Business Combination agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.00 per public share and (ii) the actual amount per public 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, less taxes payable, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or prospective target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the Trust Account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) nor will it apply to any claims under the

Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). 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. The Company will seek to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have vendors, service providers (except the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm), prospective target businesses or other entities with which the Company does business, execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account.

Going Concern Consideration

As of June 30, 2021, the Company had $204,797 of cash outside of the Trust Account and working capital of $18,502.

Through June 30, 2021, the Company’s liquidity needs were satisfied through receipt of $25,000 from the sale of the Founder Shares, formation and offering costs paid by the Sponsor on the Company’s behalf in an aggregate amount of $188,149 which were repaid and the remaining net proceeds from the Initial Public Offering and Private Placement (as described in Note 3 and 4).

On July 30, 2021, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note (the “Note”) in the principal amount of $1,500,000 to an affiliate of the Sponsor, which may be drawn down by the Company from time to time upon written notice to the lender. The Note does not bear interest and is repayable in full upon consummation of a Business Combination. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination, the Note shall not be repaid and all amounts owed under it will be forgiven. Upon the consummation of a Business Combination, the holder of the Note (or a permitted assignee) shall have the option, but not the obligation, to convert all or a portion of the unpaid principal balance of the Note into that number of warrants to purchase one share of Class A Common Stock, $0.0001 par value per share, of the Company (the “Working Capital Warrants”) equal to the principal amount of the Note so converted divided by $1.50. The terms of the Working Capital Warrants will be identical to the terms of the warrants issued by the Company to the Sponsor in a private placement that took place simultaneously with the Company’s initial public offering. The Note is subject to customary events of default, the occurrence of which automatically trigger the unpaid principal balance of the Note and all other sums payable with regard to the Note becoming immediately due and payable.

In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” management has determined that prior to the completion of the initial public offering, the Company lacked the liquidity it needed to sustain operations for a reasonable period of time, which is considered to be one year from the issuance date of the financial statements. The Company has since completed its Initial Public Offering at which time capital in excess of the funds deposited in the trust and/or used to fund offering expenses was released to the Company for general working capital purposes. Accordingly, management has since reevaluated the Company’s liquidity and financial condition and determined that sufficient capital exists to sustain operations through one year from issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements and therefore substantial doubt has been alleviated.

Risks and Uncertainties

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

Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal accruals and recurring adjustments) considered for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2021.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with Company’s prospectus for its Initial Public Offering as filed with the SEC on February 10, 2021 and Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on May 24, 2021.

On May 18, 2021, the Audit Committee concluded that, because of the misapplication of the accounting guidance related to the Warrants, the Company’s previously issued balance sheet as of February 11, 2021, included in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on February 19, 2021, should no longer be relied upon. As such, the Company restated the balance sheet as of February 11, 2021 through a disclosure in its Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on May 24, 2021.

Principles of Consolidation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Merger Sub, as of June 30, 2021. Merger Sub had no assets or liabilities as of June 30, 2021. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Emerging Growth Company

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may 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 election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can 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 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 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 condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period.

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly 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. The Company had $204,797 in cash and no cash equivalents, outside of the funds held in the Trust Account, as of June 30, 2021.

Warrant Liabilities and Forward Purchase Agreement

The Company accounts for the Warrants and Forward Purchase Agreement (as defined below) (collectively, the “Instruments”) in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815-40 under which the Instruments do not meet the criteria for equity treatment and must be recorded as liabilities. Accordingly, the Company classifies the Warrants and Forward Purchase Agreement as liabilities at their fair value and adjusts the Warrants and Forward Purchase Agreement to fair value at each reporting period. This liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in the Company’s statement of operations. See Note 6 for further discussion of the pertinent terms of the Warrants and Forward Purchase Agreement and Note 8 for further discussion of the methodology used to determine the value of the Warrants and Forward Purchase Agreement.

Cash and Marketable Securities Held in Trust Account

At June 30, 2021, the assets held in the Trust Account were invested in money market funds.

Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption

The Company accounts for its common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Shares of common stock subject to mandatory redemption is classified as a liability instrument and is measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including common stock that features redemption rights that is either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, common stock is classified as stockholders’ equity. The Company’s common stock features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly,

at June 30, 2021, common stock subject to possible redemption is presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ equity section of the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist of a cash account in a financial institution which, at times may exceed the Federal depository insurance coverage of $250,000. At June 30, 2021, the Company had not experienced losses on this account and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such account.

Financial Instruments

Except for the Warrant and Forward Purchase Agreement Liabilities as described above, the fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under the FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Fair Value Measurements

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.

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 include:

•

Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices 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.

As of June 30, 2021, the carrying values of cash, prepaid expenses, other current assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of the instruments. The Company’s portfolio of marketable securities held in the Trust Account is comprised of money market funds. The fair values of Forward Purchase Agreement and Private Placement Warrants have been estimated using the trading price of the Public Warrants. Public Warrants are valued based on quoted price in active markets. See Note 6 for further discussion of the pertinent terms of the Warrants and Forward Purchase Agreement and Note 8 for further discussion of the methodology used to determine the value of the Warrants and Forward Purchase Agreement.

Offering Costs

Offering costs consist of legal, accounting, underwriting and other costs incurred through the condensed consolidated balance sheet date that are directly related to the Initial Public Offering. Upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering in February 2021, the offering costs were allocated using the relative fair values of the company common stock and its Warrants. The costs allocated to Warrants were recognized in other expenses and those related to the Company's common stock were recognized in additional paid-in capital.

Net Loss Per Share of Common Stock

The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” Net earnings or loss per share is computed by dividing net earnings or loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the periods.

The shares of Class B common stock will automatically convert into shares of Class A common stock at the time of the Company’s initial Business Combination on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment.

The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations includes a presentation of net earnings or loss per share for shares of common stock subject to redemption in a manner similar to the two-class method of income or loss per share. Net earnings or loss per share, basic and diluted, for the Initial Public Offering Class A redeemable shares issued on February 11, 2021, is calculated by dividing net earnings attributable to Class A redeemable shares for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, by the weighted average number of Initial Public Offering Class A redeemable outstanding shares since issuance. Net loss per share, basic and diluted, for Class A and Class B non-redeemable shares for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 is calculated by dividing the net loss of $10,278,865 and $2,250,226, respectively, less net earnings attributable to the Initial Public Offering Class A redeemable shares, by the weighted average number of Class A and Class B non-redeemable shares outstanding for the period. Non-redeemable shares include the Class B Founder Shares, as these shares do not have any redemption features and do not participate in the income earned on the marketable securities held in the Trust Account. The effects of the Public Warrants, Private Placement Warrants and the Forward Purchase Agreement are antidilutive and excluded from the weighted average shares calculation.

Income Taxes

The Company complies with the accounting and reporting requirements of ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes,” which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in future taxable or deductible amounts, based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

ASC Topic 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’s management determined that the United States is the Company’s only major tax jurisdiction. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position. The Company is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception.

The Company’s provision for income taxes and deferred tax assets were deemed to be de minimis as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

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

Note 3—Initial Public Offering

Pursuant to the Initial Public Offering, the Company sold 34,500,000 Units at a purchase price of $10.00 per Unit, including 4,500,000 Units sold pursuant to the full exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional Units to cover over-allotments. Each Unit consists of one share of Class A common stock and one-quarter of one redeemable warrant (“Public Warrant”). Each whole Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Class A common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment (see Note 6).

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company completed two private sales of an aggregate 6,266,667 Private Placement Warrants at a purchase price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant, to the Sponsor and GSAM, in its capacity as investment adviser on behalf of the GSAM Client Accounts, generating aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of $9,400,000. The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the warrants sold as part of the Units in the Initial Public Offering, except that the Sponsor and GSAM have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of the Private Placement Warrants (except to certain permitted transferees) until 30 days after the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination. So long as the Private Placement Warrants are held by the Sponsor, GSAM, the GSAM Client Accounts or their permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will not be redeemable for cash by the Company and will be exercisable on a cashless basis.

Note 4—Related Party Transactions

Founder Shares

On December 8, 2020, the Sponsor paid an aggregate of $25,000 in exchange for the issuance of 8,625,000 shares of Class B common stock (the “Founder Shares”). On December 23, 2020, the Company effected a 6-for-5 reverse stock split with respect to the Class B common stock, resulting in the Sponsor holding an aggregate of 7,187,500 Founder Shares. On January 26, 2021, the Company effectuated a 5-for-6 split of the Founder Shares, resulting in an aggregate outstanding amount of 8,625,000 Founder Shares. All share and per-share amounts have been restated to reflect the stock split, as reflected in the Company’s audited financial statements as of December 31, 2020. In January 2021, the Sponsor transferred 35,000 Founder Shares to each of Tracy McKibben, Kathryn E. Coffey, Richard Burke and David Lockwood, our independent director nominees, at their original issue price. The Company has recognized this transfer as a compensation expense in

accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin 5T and ASC Topic 718 Compensation – Stock Compensation. The fair value of the Founder Shares issued in this arrangement was determined using the price of the Company’s Class A common stock and the probability of the success of the Business Combination. The Company expensed approximately $148,000 in costs associated with the transfer of the Founder Shares to directors during the three months ended June 30, 2021. Unrecognized compensation expense as of June 30, 2021 is $550,000 to be amortized over approximately the remaining 1.6 years.

The holders of the Founder Shares agreed to forfeit up to an aggregate of 1,125,000 Founder Shares, on a pro rata basis, to the extent that the option to purchase additional shares is not exercised in full by the underwriters. As the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares was exercised in full, forfeiture of Founder Shares did not occur.

The Initial Stockholders have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of (1) one year after the completion of the initial Business Combination and (2) the date on which the Company consummates a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange, reorganization, or other similar transaction after the initial Business Combination that results in all stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property (the “lock-up”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the last reported sale price of common stock shares 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, the Founder Shares will be released from the lock-up.

Working Capital Loans

In order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor, members of the Company’s founding team or any of their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). On July 30, 2021, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note in the principal amount of $1,500,000 to an affiliate of the Sponsor, which may be drawn down by the Company from time to time upon written notice to the lender. The Note does not bear interest and is repayable in full upon consummation of a Business Combination. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination, the Note shall not be repaid and all amounts owed under it will be forgiven. Upon the consummation of a Business Combination, the holder of the Note (or a permitted assignee) shall have the option, but not the obligation, to convert all or a portion of the unpaid principal balance of the Note into that number of Working Capital Warrants equal to the principal amount of the Note so converted divided by $1.50. The terms of the Working Capital Warrants will be identical to the terms of the warrants issued by the Company to the Sponsor in a private placement that took place simultaneously with the Company’s initial public offering. The Note is subject to customary events of default, the occurrence of which automatically trigger the unpaid principal balance of the Note and all other sums payable with regard to the Note becoming immediately due and payable.

Administrative Services Agreement

The Company entered into an Administrative Services Agreement pursuant to which the Company will pay an affiliate of our Sponsor a total of $10,000 per month, until the earlier of the completion of the initial Business Combination and the liquidation of the trust assets, for office space, utilities, administrative and support services. Upon completion of the initial Business Combination or liquidation, the Company will cease paying these monthly fees. For the three and six months ended June 30 the Company expensed $30,000 and $47,143 in monthly administrative support services, respectively, with $0 and $20,000 of these expenses included in accounts payable as of December 31, 2020 and June 30, 2021, respectively.

Due to Related Party

On January 26, 2021, the Company entered into a promissory note pursuant to which Energy Capital Partners Management, LP (“ECP”) agreed to loan the Company up to $300,000 to be used for a portion of the expenses of the Initial Public Offering. The promissory note was repaid in full upon the Initial Public Offering.

As of June 30, 2021, there is no balance payable to the Sponsor for payment of miscellaneous expenses on the Company’s behalf.

Note 5—Commitments & Contingencies

Registration and Stockholder Rights

The holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants, and Working Capital Warrants that may be issued upon conversion of the amounts due under the Note at the time the Company consummates a Business Combination (and any 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) will be entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration and stockholder rights agreement to be signed prior to or on the effective date of the Initial Public Offering. The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company registers such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of the initial Business Combination. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

In the event of any delay in filing and/or effectiveness of the registration statement required pursuant to the registration and stockholder

rights agreement, or after the effective date, such registration statement ceases for any reason to remain continuously effective (each, a “Registration Default”), the holders will be entitled to payments from the Company equal to 2% of the purchase price on the occurrence of each registration default and 2% per month that such registration default continues to exist, as more fully described in the registration and stockholder rights agreement.

Underwriting Agreement

The Company granted the underwriters an option to cover over-allotments and for market stabilization purposes. The over-allotment option entitled the underwriters to purchase on a pro rata basis up to 4,500,000 additional Units at the Initial Public Offering price, less the underwriting discounts and commissions. On the date of the Initial Public Offering, the underwriters exercised the over-allotment option in full, purchasing 4,500,000 Units.

Forward Purchase Agreement

On January 24, 2021, the Company entered into a Forward Purchase Agreement with GSAM, in its capacity as investment adviser on behalf of the GSAM Client Accounts, as amended by the First Amendment to Forward Purchase Agreement, dated as of January 31, 2021 (as so amended, the “Forward Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which the GSAM Client Accounts committed to purchase an aggregate of up to 5,000,000 forward purchase units (the “Forward Purchase Units”), consisting of one share of the Company’s Class A common stock (the “Forward Purchase Shares”) and one-quarter of one warrant (the “Forward Purchase Warrants”), for $10.00 per Forward Purchase Unit, or an aggregate maximum amount of $50,000,000, in a private placement to close simultaneously with the closing of the Company’s initial Business Combination. Each whole Forward Purchase Warrant is exercisable to purchase one share of our Class A common stock at $11.50 per share. The Forward Purchase Warrants will have the same terms as the Public Warrants and the Forward Purchase Shares will be identical to the shares of Class A common stock included in the units sold in the Initial Public Offering, except the Forward Purchase Shares and the Forward Purchase Warrants will be subject to transfer restrictions and certain registration rights. The funds from the sale of the Forward Purchase Units may be used to fund the purchase price of the Business Combination or for the working capital needs of the post-transaction company. The Forward Purchase Agreement is independent of the percentage of stockholders electing to redeem their public shares and may provide the Company with an increased minimum funding level for the initial Business Combination. On February 11, 2021, the Sponsor transferred 345,000 Founder Shares to GSAM in connection with their commitments on the Forward Purchase Agreement and the Private Placement Warrants. The Company has recognized part of this transfer as an offering cost related to a fair value instrument ($1.25 million) and the remainder as a reduction of additional paid in capital ($1.2 million) during the three months ended June 30, 2021. The Founder Shares transferred were valued by reference to the fair values of the Class A common stock and the probability of the success of the Business Combination. Pursuant to the terms of the Forward Purchase Agreement, GSAM agreed to forfeit and return to the Sponsor (i) 172,500 Founder Shares if GSAM did not purchase at least 2,500,000 Forward Purchase Units pursuant to the Forward Purchase Agreement and (ii) 172,500 Founder Shares if, at the time GSAM provided or withheld its consent to the Company’s initial Business Combination, GSAM owned a number of shares of Class A common stock less than the number of public shares it purchased at closing of the Company’s initial public offering. Founder Shares linked to the purchase of 2,500,000 Forward Purchase Units were expensed due to being linked to a liability classified instrument. Founder Shares related to GSAM holding and voting the shares until the initial Business Combination are linked to Units (as described in Note 3 above) purchased in the Initial Public Offering and, as such, the associated costs were allocated between the Company’s common stock and Public Warrants contained in the Units based on the respective fair values. Costs allocated to the Company’s stock were deferred and recorded as a reduction to addition paid in capital while the costs allocated to Public Warrants were expensed.

Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement (as defined below) on July 18, 2021, the Company, the Sponsor and GSAM, in its capacity as investment adviser on behalf of the GSAM Client Accounts, entered into a side letter (the “Side Letter”) to the Forward Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which GSAM irrevocably consented to purchase from the Company, and the Company agreed to issue and sell to GSAM, 2,500,000 Forward Purchase Units at a price of $10.00 per Forward Purchase Unit, or an aggregate of $25,000,000, in a private placement to be consummated substantially concurrently with the consummation of the Business Combination. The Company and the Sponsor also waived GSAM’s potential obligation to forfeit shares of Class B common stock under the circumstances contemplated by the Forward Purchase Agreement in connection with the Closing.

Note 6—Warrant Liabilities

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 or (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 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 permit holders to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis under certain circumstances). The Company has agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 20 business days after the closing of the initial Business Combination, the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC and have an effective registration statement covering the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants and to maintain a current prospectus relating to those shares of Class A common stock until the warrants expire or are redeemed, as specified in the warrant agreement. If a registration statement covering the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective by the 60th day after

the closing of the initial Business Combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company will have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act or another exemption. Notwithstanding the above, if the shares of Class A common stock are at the time of any exercise of a warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that they satisfy 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” and, in the event the Company so elects, the Company will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, and in the event the Company does not so elect, it will use commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available.

The warrants have an exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustments, 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 of Class A common stock 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 common share (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by the board of directors and, in the case of any such issuance to the Sponsor or its affiliates, without taking into account any Founder Shares held by the Sponsor or such affiliates, as applicable, 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 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 the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, and the $18.00 per share redemption trigger price described under “Redemption of warrants when the price per share of Class A common stock equals or exceeds $18.00” will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 180% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, and the $10.00 per share redemption trigger price described under the caption “Redemption of warrants when the price per share of Class A common stock equals or exceeds $10.00” will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price.

The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants underlying the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering, except that 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. Additionally, the Private Placement Warrants will be non-redeemable and can be exercised on a cashless basis so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or such purchasers’ permitted transferees. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by someone other than the Initial Stockholders 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.

Redemption of warrants when the price per share of Class A common stock equals or exceeds $18.00: When the warrants become exercisable, the Company may call the outstanding warrants for redemption (except as described herein with respect to 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 to each warrant holder; and

•

if, and only if, the last reported sale price (the “closing price”) of shares of Class A common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.

The Company will not redeem the warrants as described above unless a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is then effective and a current prospectus relating to those shares of Class A common stock is available throughout the 30-day redemption period.

Redemption of warrants when the price per share of Class A common stock equals or exceeds $10.00: When the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding warrants:

•

in whole and not in part;

•

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 shares of Class A common stock; and

•

if, and only if, the last reported sale price of Class A common stock equals or exceeds $10.00 per share (as adjusted) on the trading day prior to the date on which of redemption is sent to the warrant holders; and

•

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.

The “fair market value” shall mean the volume-weighted average 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.

Forward Purchase Warrants have the same terms as the Public Warrants, except the Forward Purchase Warrants will be subject to transfer restrictions and certain registration rights.

The company accounts for the Public Warrants, Private Placement Warrants and Forward Purchase Agreement in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815-40. Such guidance provides that because the warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment thereunder, each warrant and forward purchase unit that includes a warrant must be recorded as a liability.

Note 7—Stockholders’ Equity

Class A Common Stock — The Company is authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of Class A common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Holders of the Company’s Class A common stock are entitled to one vote for each share. At June 30, 2021, there were 3,906,651 shares of Class A common stock issued and outstanding, excluding 30,593,349 shares of common stock subject to possible redemption.

Class B Common Stock — The Company is authorized to issue 10,000,000 shares of Class B common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. On December 23, 2020, the Company effected a 6-for-5 reverse stock split with respect to the Class B common stock, resulting in the Sponsor holding an aggregate of 7,187,500 Founder Shares. On January 26, 2021, the Company effectuated a 5-for-6 split of the Founder Shares, resulting in an aggregate outstanding amount of 8,625,000 Founder Shares. On June 30, 2021, 8,625,000 shares of Class B common stock were issued and outstanding. All share and per-share amounts have been restated to reflect the stock split, as reflected in the Company’s audited financial statements as of December 31, 2020.

Only holders of Class B common stock will have the right to vote on the election of directors and to remove directors prior to the initial Business Combination, and such rights may only be amended by a resolution passed by the holders of a majority of Class B common stock. On all other matters submitted to a vote of the Company’s stockholders, holders of the Class B common stock and holders of the Class A common stock will vote together as a single class, with each share of common stock entitling the holder to one vote, except as required by law or the applicable rules of the NASDAQ Capital Market (“NASDAQ”), then in effect. For so long as shares of Class B common stock remain outstanding, the Company may not amend, alter or repeal any provision of its amended and restated certificate of incorporation in any manner that would alter or change the powers, preferences or relative participating, optional or other special rights of the Class B common stock without the prior written consent of the holders of a majority of the shares of Class B common stock then outstanding.

The shares of Class B common stock will automatically convert into shares of Class A common stock at the time of the initial Business Combination on a one-for-one basis, subject to increase in respect of the issuance of certain securities. In the case that additional shares of Class A common stock, or equity-linked securities, are issued or deemed issued in excess of the amount issued in this offering and related to the closing of the initial Business Combination, the ratio at which shares of Class B common stock shall convert into shares of Class A common stock will be adjusted so that the number of shares of Class A common stock issuable upon conversion of all shares of Class B common stock will equal, in the aggregate, on an as-converted basis, 20% of the aggregate number of all shares of common stock outstanding upon the completion of this offering, plus the aggregate number of shares of Class A common stock and equity-linked securities issued or deemed issued in connection with the initial Business Combination, any shares or equity-linked securities issued (or to be issued), and any private placement warrants issued.

Preferred Stock — The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. At June 30, 2021, there were no shares of preferred stock issued or outstanding.

Note 8 — Fair Value Measurements

The following table presents information about the Company’s assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2021 including the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques that the Company utilized to determine such fair value.

		Description		Level				Fair Value
June 30, 2021		Marketable securities			1			$	345,021,944

The Warrants and Forward Purchase Agreement are accounted for as liabilities pursuant to ASC 815-40 and are measured at fair value as of each reporting period. Changes in the fair value of the Warrants and Forward Purchase Agreement are recorded in the statement of operations each period.

The following table presents the fair value hierarchy for liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2021:

	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Derivative liabilities:
Public Warrants	$	12,075,000	$	—	$	—	$	12,075,000
Private Placement Warrants		—		8,773,333		—		8,773,333
Forward Purchase Agreement		—		1,748,750		—		1,748,750
Total liabilities	$	12,075,000	$	10,522,083	$	—	$	22,597,083

On April 1, 2021, the Public Warrants surpassed the 52-day threshold waiting period to be publicly traded in accordance with the Prospectus filed February 10, 2021. Once publicly traded, the observable input qualifies the liability for treatment as a Level 1 liability. As such, as of June 30, 2021, the Company classified the Public Warrants as Level 1. Forward Purchase Agreement and Private Warrants were valued based on the trading price of Public Warrants, which is considered to be a Level 2 fair value measurement. To estimate the value of the Private Placement Warrants, the Company used the public trading price of the Public Warrants. This value was adjusted to reflect the value of the issuer call provision of the Public Warrants, as this right is not applicable to the Private Placement Warrants unless they are sold by the initial holders. Forward Purchase Units containing one-fourth of a warrant were deemed valued at one-fourth of traded value of Public Warrants.

As described above, Public Warrants were transferred to Level 1 while Private Placement Warrants and Forward Purchase Agreement were transferred to Level 2 during the three months ended June 30, 2021.

The following table presents a summary of the changes in the fair value of the Derivative Liabilities:

	Public Warrant Liability			Private Placement Warrant Liability			Forward Purchase Agreement			Total Liability
Fair value, February 11, 2021	$	12,880,575		$	9,358,640		$	1,508,461		$	23,747,676
Recognized gain on change in fair value		4,953,337			3,598,947			503,029			9,055,313
Fair value, March 31, 2021	$	7,927,238		$	5,759,693		$	1,005,432		$	14,692,363
Recognized loss on change in fair value		(4,147,762	)		(3,013,640	)		(743,318	)		(7,904,720	)
Fair value, June 30, 2021	$	12,075,000		$	8,773,333		$	1,748,750		$	22,597,083

Note 9 — Subsequent events

The Company evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred after the condensed consolidated balance sheet date through the date the condensed consolidated financial statements were issued. Based upon this review, except as described below, the Company did not identify any subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

On July 18, 2021, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (“Merger Agreement”) by and among the Company, Merger Sub, and Fast Radius, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Fast Radius”), pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into Fast Radius, with Fast Radius surviving such merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger” and, together with the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the “Transactions”). At the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”), the Company will be renamed “Fast Radius, Inc.” (the Company, following the Closing, the “Combined Company”). The Transactions are expected to be consummated in the fourth quarter of 2021, subject to the fulfillment of certain conditions.

Subject to the terms of the Merger Agreement, the aggregate merger consideration with respect to all holders of Fast Radius securities outstanding immediately prior to the Closing, which will be issued in the form of shares or equity awards relating to shares of Class A common stock, will equal 100,000,000 shares of Class A common stock at a deemed value of $10.00 per share (the “Aggregate Merger Consideration”).

The Aggregate Merger Consideration will be issued to holders of Fast Radius securities at the Closing in accordance with the Merger Agreement, except that the issuance to holders of Fast Radius capital stock and Vested RSUs (as defined in the Merger Agreement) of a portion of the Aggregate Merger Consideration in an amount equal to 10,000,000 shares of Class A common stock (the “Fast Radius Earn Out Shares”) will be subject to the satisfaction of certain price targets set forth in the Merger Agreement during the five-year period following the Closing (the “Earn Out Period”), which price targets will be based upon (i) the daily volume-weighted average sale price of shares of Class A common stock quoted on The Nasdaq Capital Market (“NASDAQ”), or the exchange on which the shares of Class A common stock are then traded, for any 20 trading days within any 30 consecutive trading day period within the Earn Out Period or (ii) the per share consideration received in connection with the occurrence of certain change of control events of the combined company following Closing specified in the Merger Agreement (any such event, an “Acquiror Sale”). In the event of an Acquiror Sale in which the per share consideration received is less than a price target set forth in the Merger Agreement that has not previously occurred, the applicable provisions of the Merger Agreement will terminate and no Fast Radius Earn Out Shares will be issuable thereunder with respect to such price target in connection with or following completion of such Acquiror Sale. The Fast Radius Earn Out Shares will be issuable in two equal tranches of 5,000,000 shares of Class A common stock at the time that the Class A common stock reaches a value, as calculated above, of $15.00 and $20.00, respectively, and will be allocated among the applicable holders of Fast Radius capital stock and Vested RSUs on a pro rata basis in accordance with the Merger Agreement.

In connection with the Closing, the shares (the “Founder Shares”) of Class B common stock issued prior to the Company’s initial public offering that are held by the Sponsor, our independent directors and GSAM will automatically convert into shares of Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis (the “Converted Shares”). 10% of the Converted Shares held by the Sponsor (the “Sponsor Earn Out Shares”) will be subject to vesting upon the satisfaction of certain price targets set forth in the sponsor support agreement the Company entered into with the Sponsor and its independent directors concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement (the “Sponsor Support Agreement”) during the Earn Out Period, which price targets will be based upon the (i) the daily volume-weighted average sale price of shares of Class A common stock quoted on NASDAQ, or the exchange on which the shares of Class A common stock are then traded, for any 20 trading days within any 30 consecutive trading day period within the Earn Out Period or (ii) the per share consideration received in connection with an Acquiror Sale. In the event of an Acquiror Sale in which the per share consideration received is less than a price target set forth in the above that has not previously occurred, the applicable provisions of the Sponsor Support Agreement will terminate and no Sponsor Earn Out Shares will be issuable thereunder with respect to such price target in connection with or following completion of such Acquiror Sale. The Sponsor Earn Out Shares will vest in two equal tranches of 407,000 shares of Class A common stock at the time that the Class A common stock reaches a value, as calculated above, of $15.00 and $20.00, respectively.

In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, the Company entered into subscription agreements (collectively, the “Subscription Agreements”) with certain investors, including the Sponsor (collectively, the “PIPE Investors”), pursuant to which the PIPE Investors agreed to subscribe for and purchase, and the Company agreed to issue and sell to the PIPE Investors, an aggregate of 7,500,000 shares of Class A common stock (1,000,000 shares of which will be issued and sold to the Sponsor in its capacity as a PIPE Investor) for a purchase price of $10.00 per share, or an aggregate of $75,000,000, in a private placement (the “PIPE Investment”). The closing of the PIPE Investment will occur substantially concurrently with the consummation of the Business Combination and is conditioned thereon and on other customary closing conditions. The shares of Class A common stock to be issued pursuant to the Subscription Agreements will not be registered under the Securities Act and will be issued in reliance upon the exemption provided under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, the Company, the Sponsor and GSAM, in its capacity as investment adviser on behalf of the GSAM Client Accounts, entered into the Side Letter to the Forward Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which GSAM irrevocably consented to purchase from the Company, and the Company agreed to issue and sell to GSAM, 2,500,000 Forward Purchase Units, each consisting of the Forward Purchase Shares and the Forward Purchase Warrants, at a price of $10.00 per Forward Purchase Unit, or an aggregate of $25,000,000, in a private placement to be consummated substantially concurrently with the consummation of the Business Combination. Each whole Forward Purchase Warrant will be exercisable to purchase one share of Class A common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share. The Company and the Sponsor also waived GSAM’s potential obligation to forfeit shares of Class B common stock under the circumstances contemplated by the Forward Purchase Agreement in connection with the Closing.

On July 30, 2021, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note in the principal amount of $1,500,000 to an affiliate of its Sponsor, which may be drawn down by the Company from time to time upon written notice to the lender. The Note does not bear interest and is repayable in full upon consummation of the Company’s Business Combination. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination, the Note shall not be repaid and all amounts owed under it will be forgiven. Upon the consummation of a Business Combination, the holder of the Note (or a permitted assignee) shall have the option, but not the obligation, to convert all or a portion of the unpaid principal balance of the Note into that number of Working Capital Warrants equal to the principal amount of the Note so converted divided by $1.50. The terms of the Working Capital Warrants will be identical to the terms of the warrants issued by the Company to the Sponsor in a private placement that took place simultaneously with the Company’s initial public offering. The Note is subject to customary events of default, the occurrence of which automatically trigger the unpaid principal balance of the Note and all other sums payable with regard to the Note becoming immediately due and payable. As of August 16, 2021, the Company had borrowed approximately $249,700 under the Note.

Overview

We are a blank check company incorporated as a Delaware corporation on October 29, 2020 and formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities. We intend to effectuate our initial Business Combination using cash from the proceeds of the Initial Public Offering, the sale of the private placement warrants and the Forward Purchase Units (as defined herein), our capital stock, debt or a combination of cash, stock and debt.

Recent Developments

Convertible Promissory Note

On July 30, 2021, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note in the principal amount of $1,500,000 to an affiliate of the Sponsor, which may be drawn down by the Company from time to time upon written notice to the lender. The Note does not bear interest and is repayable in full upon consummation of a Business Combination. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination, the Note shall not be repaid and all amounts owed under it will be forgiven. Upon the consummation of a Business Combination, the holder of the Note (or a permitted assignee) shall have the option, but not the obligation, to convert all or a portion of the unpaid principal balance of the Note into that number of Working Capital Warrants equal to the principal amount of the Note so converted divided by $1.50. The terms of the Working Capital Warrants will be identical to the terms of the warrants issued by the Company to the Sponsor in a private placement that took place simultaneously with the Company’s initial public offering. The Note is subject to customary events of default, the occurrence of which automatically trigger the unpaid principal balance of the Note and all other sums payable with regard to the Note becoming immediately due and payable. As of August 16, 2021, the Company had borrowed approximately $249,700 under the Note.

Merger Agreement

On July 18, 2021, the Company entered into the Merger Agreement by and among the Company, Merger Sub, and Fast Radius, pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into Fast Radius, with Fast Radius surviving such merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger” and, together with the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the “Business Combination”). At the Closing, the Company will be renamed “Fast Radius, Inc.” The Business Combination is expected to be consummated in the fourth quarter of 2021, subject to the fulfillment of certain customary closing conditions.

Private Placements

In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, the Company entered into the Subscription Agreements with the PIPE Investors, pursuant to which the PIPE Investors agreed to subscribe for and purchase, and the Company agreed to issue and sell to the PIPE Investors, an aggregate of 7,500,000 shares of Class A common stock (1,000,000 shares of which will be issued and sold to the Sponsor in its capacity as a PIPE Investor) for a purchase price of $10.00 per share, or an aggregate of $75,000,000, in the PIPE Investment. The closing of the PIPE Investment will occur substantially concurrently with the consummation of the Business Combination and is conditioned thereon and on other customary closing conditions. The shares of Class A common stock to be issued pursuant to the Subscription Agreements will not be registered under the Securities Act and will be issued in reliance upon the exemption provided under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

Results of Operations

We have neither engaged in any operations (other than searching for a Business Combination after our Initial Public Offering) nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities from October 29, 2020 (inception) through June 30, 2021 were organizational activities and those necessary to prepare for the Initial Public Offering, described below. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our initial Business Combination. We expect to generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering and placed in the Trust Account. We incur expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, we had a net operating loss of $1,136,718 and $1,422,261, respectively, which consists of general and administrative expenses and franchise tax expense.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2021, we had cash of $204,797 outside of the Trust Account and working capital of $18,502. Until the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, our only sources of liquidity were an initial purchase of common stock by the Sponsor and a loan from an affiliate of our Sponsor. Through June 30, 2021, the Company’s liquidity needs were satisfied through receipt of $25,000 from the sale of the Founder Shares, formation and offering costs paid by the Sponsor on the Company’s behalf in an aggregate amount of $188,149, which were repaid and the remaining net proceeds from the Initial Public Offering and Private Placement (as described in Note 3 and 4).

On February 11, 2021, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 34,500,000 Units at a price of $10.00 per Unit, including 4,500,000 Units sold pursuant to the full exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional Units to cover over-allotments, generating gross proceeds of $345,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we completed two private sales of an aggregate of 6,266,667 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant to the Sponsor and GSAM, in its capacity as investment adviser on behalf of the GSAM Client Accounts, generating gross proceeds of $9,400,000.

Following the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, a total of $345,000,000 was placed in the Trust Account and we had $1,991,625 of cash held outside of the Trust Account, after payment of costs related to the Initial Public Offering, available for working capital purposes. We paid a total of $6,900,000 in underwriting discounts and commissions and $631,427 for other cash offering costs related to the Initial Public Offering. Additional offering costs of $35,643 were incurred during the three months ended June 30, 2021. In addition, the underwriters agreed to defer $12,075,000 in underwriting discounts and commissions.

We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account to complete our Business Combination. We may withdraw interest to pay franchise and income taxes. To the extent that our capital stock or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete our Business Combination, the remaining proceeds held in the Trust Account will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business or businesses, make other acquisitions and pursue our growth strategies.

We intend to use the funds held outside the Trust Account primarily to identify and evaluate target businesses, perform business due diligence on prospective target businesses, travel to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, review corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, and structure, negotiate and complete a Business Combination.

We do not believe we will need to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required for operating our business. However, if our estimate of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating a Business Combination are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, we may have insufficient funds available to operate our business prior to our Business Combination. Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing either to complete our Business Combination or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our public shares upon consummation of our Business Combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such Business Combination. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, we would only complete such financing simultaneously with the completion of our Business Combination. If we are unable to complete our Business Combination because we do not have sufficient funds available to us, we will be forced to cease operations and liquidate the Trust Account. In addition, following our Business Combination, if cash on hand is insufficient, we may need to obtain additional financing in order to meet our obligations.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as of June 30, 2021.

Contractual obligations

We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities.

The underwriters are entitled to a deferred fee of $0.35 per Unit, or $12,075,000 in the aggregate. The deferred fee will be waived by the underwriters in the event that the Company does not complete a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

On January 24, 2021, we entered into a Forward Purchase Agreement with GSAM, in its capacity as investment adviser on behalf of the GSAM Client Accounts, as amended by the First Amendment to Forward Purchase Agreement, dated as of January 31, 2021, pursuant to which the GSAM Client Accounts committed to purchase an aggregate of up to 5,000,000 Forward Purchase Units, consisting of the Forward Purchase Shares and the Forward Purchase Warrants, for $10.00 per Forward Purchase Unit, or an aggregate maximum amount of $50,000,000, in a private placement that will close simultaneously with the closing of our initial Business Combination. Each whole Forward Purchase Warrant is exercisable to purchase one share of our Class A common stock at $11.50 per share. The Forward Purchase Warrants will have the same terms as the public warrants and the Forward Purchase Shares will be identical to the shares of Class A common stock included in the units sold in the Initial Public Offering, except the Forward Purchase Shares and the Forward Purchase Warrants will be subject to transfer restrictions and certain registration rights. The funds from the sale of the Forward Purchase Units may be used to fund the purchase price of the Business Combination or for the working capital needs of the post-transaction company. The Forward Purchase Agreement is independent of the percentage of stockholders electing to redeem their public shares and may provide us with an increased minimum funding level for the initial Business Combination.

Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, the Company, the Sponsor and GSAM, in its capacity as investment adviser on behalf of the GSAM Client Accounts, entered into the Side Letter, pursuant to which GSAM irrevocably consented to purchase from the Company, and the Company agreed to issue and sell to GSAM, 2,500,000 Forward Purchase Units at a price of $10.00 per Forward Purchase Unit, or an aggregate of $25,000,000, in a private placement to be consummated substantially concurrently with the consummation of the Business Combination. The Company and the Sponsor also waived GSAM’s potential obligation to forfeit shares of Class B common stock under the circumstances contemplated by the Forward Purchase Agreement in connection with the Closing.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. We have identified the following critical accounting policies effecting our financial statements:

Warrant Liabilities and Forward Purchase Agreement

We account for the Warrants and Forward Purchase Agreement as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”) and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the Warrants and Forward Purchase Agreement are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the Warrants and Forward Purchase Agreement meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the Warrants and Forward Purchase Agreement are indexed to our own shares of Class A common stock and whether the holders of Warrants and Forward Purchase Units could potentially require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of our control, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of issuance of the Warrants and Forward Purchase Agreement and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the Warrants and Forward Purchase Agreement are outstanding. For issued or modified Warrants and Forward Purchase Agreement that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, such Warrants and Forward Purchase Agreement are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance. For issued or modified Warrants and Forward Purchase Agreement that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, such Warrants and Forward Purchase Agreement are required to be

recorded as liabilities at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of the liability-classified Warrants and Forward Purchase Agreement are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the statements of operations.

We account for the Warrants and Forward Purchase Agreement in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815-40 under which the Warrants and Forward Purchase Agreement do not meet the criteria for equity treatment and must be recorded as liabilities.

Accordingly, we classify the Warrants and Forward Purchase Agreement as liabilities at their fair value and adjust the Warrants and Forward Purchase Agreement to fair value at each reporting period. This liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in our unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations. See Note 6 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report for further discussion of the pertinent terms of the Warrants and Forward Purchase Agreement and Note 8 for further discussion of the methodology used to determine the value of the liabilities.

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 480. Class A common stock subject to mandatory redemption are classified as a liability instrument and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including 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, common stock shares are classified as stockholders’ equity. Our Class A common stock shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of our control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, the Class A common stocks subject to possible redemption are presented as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ equity section of our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Net Earnings (Loss) per Share

We apply the two-class method in calculating net earnings or loss per share. Net income or loss per share, basic and diluted, for the Class A redeemable common stock is calculated by dividing any interest and dividends income earned on the Trust Account, net of applicable taxes, by the weighted average number of redeemable Class A common stock outstanding for the period. Net loss per common stock share, basic and diluted, for Class A and Class B non-redeemable common stock is calculated by dividing the net income for the period, less income attributable to the shares of Class A common stock, by the weighted average number of Class A and Class B non-redeemable common stock shares outstanding for the period. Non-redeemable common stock shares include the Class B Founder Shares, as these shares do not have any redemption features and do not participate in the income earned on the funds held in the Trust Account.

Offering Costs

Recent accounting standards

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

As of June 30, 2021, we were not subject to any material market or interest rate risk. The net proceeds from our Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account have been invested only in U.S. government securities with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act that invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations. Due to the short-term nature of these investments, we believe there will be no associated material exposure to interest rate risk.

Item 4.Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2021, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based upon their evaluation, and in light of the material weakness identified in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that we filed with the SEC on May 24, 2021, our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15 (e) and 15d-15 (e) under the Exchange Act) as of June 30, 2021 were not effective.

We do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all instances of fraud. Disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Further, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all disclosure controls and procedures, no evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures can provide absolute assurance that we have detected all our control deficiencies and instances of fraud, if any. The design of disclosure controls and procedures also is based partly on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

In light of this material weakness, the Company’s management has expended, and will continue to expend, a substantial amount of effort and resources for the remediation and improvement of our internal control over financial reporting. Specifically, we have expanded and improved our review process for complex securities and related accounting standards, including enhancing access to accounting literature and improving identification of third-party professionals with whom to consult regarding complex accounting applications. Other than as described herein, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

None.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in this report include the risk factors described in our final prospectus filed with the SEC on February 10, 2021 and our quarterly report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on May 24, 2021 (“Q1 10-Q”). As of the date of this Report, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our final prospectus or Q1 10-Q filed with the SEC.

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

On February 11, 2021, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 34,500,000 Units, including 4,500,000 Units sold pursuant to the full exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional Units to cover over-allotments. The Units sold were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per unit, generating total gross proceeds of $345,000,000. Barclays Capital Inc., Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC and BMO Capital Markets Corp. acted as bookrunners. The securities in the offering were registered under the Securities Act on a registration statement on Form S-1 (No. 333-252172). The Securities and Exchange Commission declared the registration statement effective on February 8, 2021.

Simultaneous with the consummation of the Initial Public Offering and the full exercise of the over-allotment option, we consummated the private placement of an aggregate of 6,266,667 warrants at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant, generating total proceeds of $9,400,000. The issuance was made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the warrants underlying the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering, except that the Private Placement Warrants are not transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions.

Of the gross proceeds received from the Initial Public Offering, the full exercise of the over-allotment option and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, $345,000,000 was placed in the Trust Account.

We paid a total of $6,900,000 in underwriting discounts and commissions and $667,070 for other offering costs related to the Initial Public Offering. In addition, the underwriters agreed to defer $12,075,000 in underwriting discounts and commissions.
