NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

SmartRent Inc., and its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively the "Company"), is an enterprise real estate technology company that provides comprehensive management software and applications designed for property owners, managers and residents. Its suite of products and services, which includes both smart building hardware and cloud-based software-as-a-service ("SaaS") solutions, provides seamless visibility and control over real estate assets. The Company’s platform lowers operating costs, increases revenues, mitigates operational friction and protects assets for owners and operators, while providing a differentiated, elevated living experience for residents. The Company is headquartered in Scottsdale, Arizona.

The Company, formerly known as Fifth Wall Acquisition Corp. I (“FWAA”), was originally incorporated in Delaware on November 23, 2020, as a special purpose acquisition company formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization, or other similar business combination with one or more target businesses. On February 9, 2021, the Company consummated its initial public offering, following which its shares began trading on the Nasdaq National Market. On April 21, 2021, FWAA entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as amended, the “Merger Agreement”) with SmartRent.com, Inc. (“Legacy SmartRent”) and Einstein Merger Corp. I, a wholly owned subsidiary of FWAA. On August 24, 2021, the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the “Business Combination”) were consummated. In connection with the closing of the Business Combination, FWAA changed its name to SmartRent, Inc. and its shares began trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “SMRT.” As a result of the Business Combination, SmartRent, Inc. became the owner, directly or indirectly, of all of the equity interests of Legacy SmartRent and its subsidiaries.
