PERIPHAS CAPITAL PARTNERING CORPORATION

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note

1-Description

of Organization, Business Operations and Basis of Presentation

Incorporation

Periphas Capital Partnering Corporation (the “Company”) was incorporated as a Delaware corporation on September 11, 2020.

Sponsor

The Company’s sponsor is PCPC Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”).

Business Purpose

The Company was formed for the purpose of identifying a company to partner with, in order to effectuate a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar partnering transaction with one or more businesses (“Partnering Transaction”). The Company may pursue a Partnering Transaction in any business or industry but expects to focus on a business where the Company believes its strong network, operational background, and aligned economic structure will provide the Company with a competitive advantage. The Company had neither engaged in any operations nor generated revenue as of September 30, 2022.

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of its initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering”) of its securities called CAPS

, although substantially all of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering are intended to be generally applied toward completing a Partnering Transaction. Furthermore, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully complete a Partnering Transaction.

Financing

The registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on December 9, 2020. On December 14, 2020, the Company consummated its Initial Public Offering of 14,400,000 CAPS

at $25.00 per CAPS

, generating gross proceeds of $360.0 million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $4.0 million (net of reimbursement of offering costs of approximately $350,000 from the underwriter). On December 14, 2020, the underwriter exercised the over-allotment option in full, and on December 16, 2020, purchased 2,160,000 additional CAPS

(the “Over-Allotment CAPS

”), generating additional gross proceeds of $54.0 million, and incurred additional offering costs of approximately $540,000 in underwriting fees (the “Over-Allotment”).

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the private placement (“Private Placement”) of 224,000 private placement CAPS

(the “Private Placement CAPS

”) at a price of $25.00 per CAPS

to the Sponsor, generating proceeds of $5.6 million (See Note 4). Simultaneously with the closing of the Over-Allotment on December 16, 2020, the Company consummated the second closing of the Private Placement, resulting in the purchase of an aggregate of an additional 21,600 Private Placement CAPS

at a price of $25.00 per CAPS

by the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $540,000.

Trust Account

The Company must complete a Partnering Transaction with one or more partner candidate businesses having an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the net assets held in the Trust Account (as defined below) (excluding the taxes payable on the income earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the agreement to enter into the initial Partnering Transaction. However, the Company will only complete a Partnering Transaction if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the voting securities of the partner candidate or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the partner candidate sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”).

Table of Contents

PERIPHAS CAPITAL PARTNERING CORPORATION

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement on December 14, 2020, $360.0 million ($25.00 per CAPS

) of the net proceeds of the sale of the CAPS

in the Initial Public Offering and of the Private Placement CAPS

in the Private Placement were placed in a trust account (“Trust Account”) located in the United States with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee, and were invested in money market funds meeting the conditions of paragraphs (d)(2), (d)(3) and (d)(4) of Rule

2a-7

under the Investment Company Act, which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations, as determined by the Company. Upon the closing of the Over-Allotment on December 16, 2020, additional net proceeds from the consummation of the Over-Allotment of $54.0 million were placed in the Trust Account, for a total of $414.0 million held in the Trust Account. In September 2022, the Company instructed Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company to liquidate the U.S. government securities or money market funds held in the Trust Account. All funds in the Trust Account are currently held in cash and will continue to be held in cash until the earlier of consummation of a Partnering Transaction or liquidation of the Company.

The Company’s certificate of incorporation provides that, other than the withdrawal of interest earned on the funds that may be released to the Company for withdrawals (the “permitted withdrawals”) to pay taxes including income and franchise taxes and to withdraw up to $100,000 in dissolution expenses in the event the Company does not complete the Partnering Transaction within the Partnering Period (as defined below), none of the funds held in the Trust Account will be released until the earlier of: (i) the completion of the Partnering Transaction; (ii) the redemption of any of the common stock included in the CAPS

being sold in the Initial Public Offering (the “Public Shares”) to its holders (the “Public Stockholders”) properly tendered in connection with a stockholder vote to amend certain provisions of the Company’s certificate of incorporation prior to a Partnering Transaction or (iii) the redemption of 100% of the Public Shares if the Company does not complete a Partnering Transaction within the Partnering Period (defined below).

The Company, after signing a definitive agreement for a Partnering Transaction, will either (i) seek stockholder approval of the Partnering Transaction at a meeting called for such purpose in connection with which Public Stockholders may seek to redeem their Public Shares, regardless of whether they vote for or against the Partnering Transaction or do not vote at all, for cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the initial Partnering Transaction, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its taxes, or (ii) provide the Public Stockholders with the opportunity to sell their shares to the Company by means of a tender offer (and thereby avoid the need for a stockholder vote) for an amount in cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account calculated as of two business days prior to commencement of the tender offer, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its taxes. As a result, such common stock will be recorded at redemption amount and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering, in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” The amount in the Trust Account is initially anticipated to be $25.00 per Public Share. The decision as to whether the Company will seek stockholder approval of the Partnering Transaction or will allow stockholders to sell their shares in a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion, and will be based on a variety of factors such as the timing of the transaction and whether the terms of the transaction would otherwise require the Company to seek stockholder approval. If the Company seeks stockholder approval, it will complete its Partnering Transaction only if a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock voted are voted in favor of the Partnering Transaction. However, in no event will the Company redeem its Public Shares in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001 immediately prior to or upon consummation of the Company’s initial Partnering Transaction. In such case, the Company would not proceed with the redemption of its Public Shares and the related Partnering Transaction, and instead may search for an alternate Partnering Transaction.

The Company will have until December 14, 2022 (or March 14, 2023, if the Company has executed a letter of intent, agreement in principle or definitive agreement for the Partnering Transaction by December 14, 2022) to complete its initial Partnering Transaction (the “Partnering Period”). If the Company does not complete a Partnering Transaction within this period of time (and stockholders do not approve an amendment to the certificate of incorporation to extend this date), it 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, of $25.00, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining shareholders and the board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii), to the Company’s obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and in all cases subject to the other requirements of applicable law.

Table of Contents

PERIPHAS CAPITAL PARTNERING CORPORATION

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The holders of the Founder Shares immediately prior to the Initial Public Offering (the “Initial Stockholders”) have entered into a letter agreement with the Company, pursuant to which they agreed to (i) waive their redemption rights with respect to any Founder Shares (as defined in Note 4) and Public Shares they hold in connection with the completion of the Partnering Transaction, (ii) waive their redemption rights with respect to any Founder Shares and Public Shares they hold in connection with a stockholder vote to approve an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of its Public Shares if the Company has not consummated a Partnering Transaction within the Partnering Period or with respect to any other material provisions relating to stockholders’ rights or

pre-Partnering

Transaction activity and (iii) waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Founder Shares they hold if the Company fails to complete the Partnering Transaction within 24 months of the Partnering Period (although they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Public Shares they hold if the Company fails to complete the Partnering Transaction within the Partnering Period).

Pursuant to the letter agreement, the Sponsor 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 Partnering Transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $25.00 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 $25.00 per Public 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 underwriter of our initial public offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

Liquidity and Going Concern

As of September 30, 2022, the Company had approximately $274,000 in its operating bank account and a working capital deficit of approximately $322,000.

The Company’s liquidity needs through the Initial Public Offering had been satisfied through a payment of $25,000 from the Sponsor to cover certain offering costs on behalf of the Company in exchange for the issuance of the Founder Shares and the Performance Shares (as defined in Note 4), the loan under the Note from the Sponsor of approximately $148,000 (as defined in Note 4) to the Company, and the net proceeds from the consummation of the Private Placement not held in the Trust Account. The Company fully repaid the Note on December 15, 2020 and borrowing is no longer available. In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Partnering Transaction, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, provide the Company Working Capital Loans (see Note 4). As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had $200,000 and $0, respectively, outstanding Working Capital Loans.

In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board’s Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)

2014-15,

“Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” the Company has until December 14, 2022 (or March 14, 2023, if the Company executes a letter of intent, agreement in principle or definitive agreement for the Partnering Transaction by December 14, 2022) to consummate a Partnering Transaction. It is uncertain that the Company will be able to consummate a Partnering Transaction by this time. If a Partnering Transaction is not consummated by this date, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution of the Company. Management has determined that the liquidity condition and mandatory liquidation, should a Partnering Transaction not occur, and potential subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management intends to complete a Partnering Transaction prior to the liquidation date. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after December 14, 2022.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and Article 8 of Regulation

S-X.

Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal accruals) considered for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the period from three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022 or any future period.

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form

10-K

filed by the Company with the SEC on March 22, 2022.

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, 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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to

growth companies but any such an 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 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.

Note

2-Summary

of Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and 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 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 no cash equivalents as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation coverage limit of $250,000. The Company has not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts.

Investments Held in the Trust Account

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

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

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. U.S. 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 consist of:

•	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.

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

Offering Costs Associated with the Initial Public Offering

Offering costs consisted of legal, accounting, underwriting fees and other costs incurred through the Initial Public Offering that were directly related to the Initial Public Offering. Offering costs were allocated to the separable financial instruments issued in the Initial Public Offering based on a relative fair value basis, compared to total proceeds received. Offering costs associated with derivative warrant liabilities were expensed as incurred and presented as

non-operating

expenses in the unaudited condensed statements of operations. Offering costs associated with the Class A common stock issued were charged against the carrying value of the Class A common stock subject to possible redemption upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering and subsequent

over-allotment.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Derivative Warrant Liabilities

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

re-assessed

at the end of each reporting period.

The Company issued 4,140,000 warrants to purchase Class A common stock to investors in our Initial Public Offering and Over-Allotment (the “Public Warrants”) and issued 61,400 Private Placement Warrants (the “Private Warrants”). All of its outstanding warrants are recognized as derivative liabilities in accordance with ASC

815-40.

Accordingly, the Company recognizes the warrant instruments as liabilities at fair value and adjusts the carrying value of the instruments to fair value at each reporting period until they are exercised. The determination of the fair value of the warrant liability may be subject to change as more current information becomes available and accordingly the actual results could differ significantly. Derivative warrant liabilities are classified as

non-current

liabilities as their liquidation is not reasonably expected to require the use of current assets or require the creation of current liabilities.

Class A Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption

The Company accounts for its Class A common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480. Class A common stock subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as liability instruments and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable Class A common stock (including Class A common stock that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, shares of Class A common stock are classified as stockholders’ equity. The Company’s Class A common stock subject to possible redemption feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, 16,560,000

shares of Class A common stock subject to possible redemption are presented as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ deficit section of the Company’s condensed balance sheets.

The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of the Class A common stock subject to possible redemption to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. This method would view the end of the reporting period as if it were also the redemption date for the security. Effective with the closing of the Initial Public Offering and the over-allotment option, the Company recognized the accretion from initial book value to redemption amount, which resulted in charges against additional

paid-in

capital (to the extent available) and accumulated deficit.

Net Income Per Share of Common Stock

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

The calculation of diluted net income per common share does not consider the effect of the warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering (including exercise of the over-allotment option) and the Private Placement to purchase an aggregate of

4,201,400

Class A common stock in the calculation of diluted income (loss) per common share, because their exercise is contingent upon future events and their inclusion would be anti-dilutive under the treasury stock method. As a result, diluted net income per common share is the same as basic net income per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. Accretion associated with the redeemable Class A common stock is excluded from earnings per share as the redemption value approximates fair value.

Income Taxes

The Company complies with the accounting and reporting requirements of FASB Topic ASC 740, “Income Taxes,” (“ASC 740”) 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 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be

more-likely-than-not

to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. 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.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU

2022-03,

ASC Subtopic 820 “Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions.” The ASU amends ASC 820 to clarify that a contractual sales restriction is not considered in measuring an equity security at fair value and to introduce new disclosure requirements for equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions that are measured at fair value. The ASU applies to both holders and

issuers of equity and equity-linked securities measured at fair value. The amendments in this ASU are effective for the Company in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for both interim and annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The Company is still evaluating the impact of this pronouncement on the condensed financial statements.

Public Offering

Public CAPS

On December 14, 2020, the Company consummated its Initial Public Offering of 14,400,000 CAPS

at $25.00 per CAPS

, generating additional gross proceeds of $54.0 million, and incurred additional offering costs of approximately $540,000 in underwriting fees.

Each CAPS

consists of one share of Class A common stock and

one-quarter

of one Public Warrant. Each whole Public Warrant may be exercised to purchase one share of Class A common stock for $28.75 per share, subject to adjustment (see Note 6).

Underwriting Agreement

The Company granted the underwriter a

45-day

option to purchase up to 2,160,000 additional CAPS

to cover any over-allotment, at the Initial Public Offering price less the underwriting discounts and commissions. The underwriter exercised their over-allotment option on December 16, 2020.

The underwriter was entitled to an underwriting discount of $0.25 per CAPS

, or $3.6 million in the aggregate, paid upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering on December 14, 2020. In addition, the underwriter agreed to make a payment to the Company in an amount up to approximately $350,000 to reimburse the Company for

out-of-pocket

expenses incurred in connection with the Initial Public Offering, which was fully received on December 15, 2020.

Upon closing of the Over-Allotment on December 16, 2020, the underwriter was entitled to an additional fee of $540,000, paid upon closing of the Over-Allotment.

Party Transactions

Founder Shares and Performance Shares

On September 14, 2020, the Sponsor paid for certain offering costs on behalf of the Company in exchange for (i) 690,000 Class F common stock (the “Founder Shares”) for a capital contribution of $6,250 and (b) 120,000 shares of Class B common stock (the “Performance Shares”) for a capital contribution of $18,750. On December 11, 2020, the Company effected a 1 for 1.2 forward stock split of the shares of Class F common stock that increased the number of outstanding shares of Class F common stock from 690,000 to 828,000 shares. All shares and associated amounts have been retroactively restated to reflect the stock split. The Founder Shares will be entitled to (together with the Performance Shares) a number of votes representing 20% of the Company’s outstanding common stock (not including the private placement shares) prior to the completion of the Partnering Transaction.

The Initial Stockholders agreed not to transfer, assign or sell (i) any of their Performance Shares except to any permitted transferees which will be subject to the same restrictions and other agreements of the Initial Stockholders with respect to any Founder Shares, and (ii) any of their Class A common stock deliverable upon conversion of the Performance Shares for 3 years following the completion of the Partnering Transaction. In connection with this

Table of Contents

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

arrangement, the Initial Stockholders also agree not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of: (i) 180 days after the completion of the Partnering Transaction and (ii) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange or other similar transaction after the Partnering Transaction that results in all of the Company’s stockholders having the right to exchange their Class A common stock for cash, securities or other property; except to certain permitted transferees and under certain circumstances as described herein. Any permitted transferees will be subject to the same restrictions and other agreements of the Initial Stockholders with respect to any Founder Shares.

Private Placement CAPS

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the Private Placement of 224,000 Private Placement CAPS

at a price of $25.00 per CAPS

to the Sponsor, generating proceeds of $5.6 million. Simultaneously with the closing of the Over-Allotment on December 16, 2020, the Company consummated the second closing of the Private Placement, resulting in the purchase of an aggregate of an additional 21,600 Private Placement CAPS

at a price of $25.00 per CAPS

by the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $540,000.

Each Private Placement CAPS

consists of one share of Class A common stock and

one-quarter

of one Private Placement Warrant. Each Private Placement Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Class A common stock at $28.75 per share. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement CAPS

was added to the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering and held in the Trust Account. If the Company does not complete a Partnering Transaction, then the proceeds will be part of the liquidating distribution to the Public Stockholders and the warrants will expire worthless.

The Initial Stockholders also agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Private Placement CAPS

, private placement shares, private placement warrants, and any shares of Class A common stock issued upon conversion or exercise thereof until 30 days after the completion of the initial Partnering Transaction, except to permitted transferees. Any permitted transferees will be subject to the same restrictions and other agreements of the Initial Stockholders with respect to any Founder Shares, Private Placement CAPS

, private placement shares and Private Placement Warrants.

Related Party Loans

On September 14, 2020, the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company up to an aggregate of $300,000 pursuant to an unsecured promissory note (the “Note”) to cover expenses related to this Initial Public Offering. This loan is payable without interest upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering. As of December 14, 2020, the Company borrowed approximately $148,000 under the Note. The Company repaid the Note in full on December 15, 2020 and borrowing is no longer available.

In order to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial Partnering Transaction, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (the “Working Capital Loans”). Up to $1.5 million of such loans may be convertible into private placement CAPS

at a price of $25.00 per private placement CAPS

at the option of the lender. The private placement CAPS

would be identical to the Private Placement CAPS

issued to the Sponsor. Except for the foregoing, the terms of such loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans.

On August 9, 2022, the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company $200,000 under a

non-interest

bearing promissory note (the “August 2022 Working Capital Loan”). The principal balance of the August 2022 Working Capital Loan is repayable upon the consummation of the initial Partnering Transaction. If a Partnering Transaction is not consummated, the August 2022 Working Capital Loan will not be repaid and all amounts owed thereunder will be forgiven except to the extent that the Company has funds available to it outside of the Trust Account. Upon consummation of the initial Partnering Transaction, the Sponsor shall have the option, but not the obligation, to convert the outstanding principal balance into Working Capital CAPS

at a price of $25.00 per Working Capital CAPS

. The August 2022 Working Capital Loan is a related party transaction and was approved by the audit committee of the Company’s board of directors.

Administrative Services Agreement

Commencing on the date that the Company’s securities were first listed on the New York Stock Exchange through the earlier of consummation of the Partnering Transaction and the Company’s liquidation, the Company agreed to pay an affiliate of the Sponsor for office space, secretarial and administrative services provided to members of the Company’s management team $20,000 per month. During each of the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company incurred $60,000 of such costs, which have been included in the accompanying unaudited condensed statements of operations. During each of the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company incurred $180,000 of such costs, which have been included in the accompanying unaudited condensed statements of operations. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 the Company had no outstanding balance for services in connection with such agreement included in accrued expenses on the accompanying condensed balance sheets.

In addition, the Sponsor, executive officers and directors, or any of their respective affiliates will be reimbursed for any

out-of-pocket

expenses incurred in connection with activities on the Company’s behalf such as identifying potential partnering candidates and performing due diligence on suitable Partnering Transactions. The Company’s audit committee will review on a quarterly basis all payments that were made to the Sponsor, executive officers or directors, or the Company or their affiliates.

Forward Purchase Agreements

The Company entered into forward purchase agreements with each of certain qualified institutional buyers or institutional accredited investors (the “Anchor Investors”), pursuant to which the Anchor Investors committed to purchase in the aggregate, up to an aggregate of $75,000,000 of shares of Class A common stock at a purchase price of $25.00 per share, in private placements to occur simultaneously, and only in connection with, the closing of the initial Partnering Transaction, (collectively, the “Forward Purchase Agreements”). The proceeds from the sale of forward purchase shares may be used as part of the consideration to the sellers in the Company’s initial Partnering Transaction, expenses in connection with the initial Partnering Transaction or for working capital in the post-transaction company.

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 Partnering Transaction. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Risks and Uncertainties

Global events, such as recent geopolitical instability, inflation and the

pandemic, have created or contributed to uncertainty in macroeconomic conditions, including changes in interest rates, supply chain disruptions, labor shortages and increased labor costs, which, in turn, could decrease overall economic activity, hinder economic growth or cause a recession in the United States or in the global economy. The extent of the impact of ongoing macroeconomic conditions on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and/or search for a target

Table of Contents

company is uncertain and will depend on political, social, economic and regulatory factors that are outside of the Company’s control, including but not limited to the incidence and severity of additional

COVID-19

virus variants and actions that may be taken by regulators and businesses in response to macroeconomic uncertainty. The Company considered the impact of the current economic environment and

COVID-19

on its estimates and assumptions and determined that there were no material adverse impacts on the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2022 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. As events continue to evolve and additional information becomes available, the Company’s estimates and assumptions may change materially in future periods.

On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IR Act”) was signed into federal law. The IR Act provides for, among other things, a new U.S. federal 1% excise tax on certain repurchases of stock by publicly traded U.S. domestic corporations and certain U.S. domestic subsidiaries of publicly traded foreign corporations occurring on or after January 1, 2023. The excise tax is imposed on the repurchasing corporation itself, not its shareholders from which shares are repurchased. The amount of the excise tax is generally 1% of the fair market value of the shares repurchased at the time of the repurchase. However, for purposes of calculating the excise tax, repurchasing corporations are permitted to net the fair market value of certain new stock issuances against the fair market value of stock repurchases during the same taxable year. In addition, certain exceptions apply to the excise tax. The U.S. Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury”) has been given authority to provide regulations and other guidance to carry out and prevent the abuse or avoidance of the excise tax. Any share redemption or other share repurchase that occurs after December 31, 2022 in connection with a Partnering Transaction, extension vote or otherwise may be subject to the excise tax. Whether and to what extent the Company would be subject to the excise tax in connection with a Partnering Transaction, extension vote or otherwise will depend on a number of factors, including (i) the fair market value of the redemptions and repurchases in connection with a Partnering Transaction, extension vote or otherwise, (ii) the structure of a Partnering Transaction, (iii) the nature and amount of any private investment in public equity or other equity issuances in connection with a Partnering Transaction (or otherwise issued not in connection with a Partnering Transaction but issued within the same taxable year of a Partnering Transaction) and (iv) the content of regulations and other guidance from the Treasury. In addition, because the excise tax would be payable by the Company and not by the redeeming holder, the mechanics of any required payment of the excise tax have not been determined. The foregoing could cause a reduction in the cash available on hand to complete a Partnering Transaction and inhibit the Company’s ability to complete a Partnering Transaction.

Partnering Transaction Advisory Engagement Letter

In December 2020, the Company engaged Evercore as a capital markets advisor in connection with the Partnering Transaction, to assist the Company with the potential Partnering Transaction. The Company agreed to pay Evercore for such services upon the consummation of the Partnering Transaction a cash fee in an amount equal to 2.25% of the gross proceeds of the Initial Public Offering (exclusive of any applicable finders’ fees which might become payable), which equates to approximately $9.3 million. Pursuant to the terms of the capital markets advisory agreement, no fee will be due if the Company does not complete a Partnering Transaction.

Anchor Investments

The Anchor Investors purchased 2.4 million CAPS

in the aggregate, and the Company agreed to direct the underwriter to sell to the Anchor Investors such number of CAPS

. Further, each of the Anchor Investors entered into a separate agreement with the Sponsor pursuant to which each such investor agreed to purchase membership interests in the Sponsor representing an indirect beneficial interest in an aggregate of up to 10,800 Performance Shares for approximately $0.16 per Performance Share. The membership interests in the Sponsor to be directly owned by such investors will be subject to forfeiture under certain circumstances (or any additional restrictions agreed to by the Sponsor in connection with the initial Partnering Transaction). The Performance Shares to be indirectly owned by such investors will be otherwise identical to the Performance Shares owned by the Sponsor. The Company’s discussions with each Anchor Investor were separate and the Company’s arrangements with them are not contingent on each other.

There can be no assurance that the Anchor Investors will retain any CAPS

, if any, prior to or upon the consummation of a Partnering Transaction and certain of the membership interests in the Sponsor to be directly owned by such investors will be subject to forfeiture under such circumstances. In the event that the Anchor Investors purchase such CAPS

and vote in favor of a Partnering Transaction, a smaller portion of affirmative votes from other Public Shareholders would be required to approve a Partnering Transaction.

Warrant Liabilities

As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had 4,140,000 Public Warrants and 61,400 Private Placement Warrants outstanding.

No fractional warrants will be issued upon separation of the CAPS

and only whole warrants will trade. Each whole warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase one share of Class A common stock at a price of $28.75 per share, subject to adjustment as discussed below, at any time commencing on the later of 12 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering and 30 days after the completion of a Partnering Transaction, 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 warrants and a current prospectus relating to them is available (or the Company permits holders to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis under the circumstances specified in the warrant agreement) 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. The Company agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than fifteen (15) business days after the closing of the Partnering Transaction, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement for the registration, under the Securities Act, of the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants. The Company will use its best efforts to cause the same to become effective and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement, and a current prospectus relating thereto, until the expiration of the warrants in accordance with the provisions of 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 sixtieth (60th) business day after the closing of the Partnering Transaction, 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” in accordance with Section 3 (a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event the Company so elect, it 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 its best efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available.

The warrants will expire five years after the completion of the Partnering Transaction, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. In addition, if (x) the Company issues additional shares of Class A common stock or equity-linked securities, excluding the Forward Purchase Shares, for capital raising purposes in connection with the Partnering Transaction at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $23.00 per share of Class A common stock (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 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 Partnering Transaction on the date of the consummation of the Partnering Transaction (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 after the day on which the Company consummates the Partnering Transaction (such price, the “Market Value”) is below $23.00 per share, the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 110% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, and the $45.00 redemption price trigger described below will be equal to 180% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price.

The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants, 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 Partnering Transaction, subject to certain limited exceptions. Additionally, the Private Placement Warrants will be

non-redeemable

so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by someone other than the Sponsor or its 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.

The Company may also redeem the Public Warrants, in whole and not in part, at a price of $0.01 per warrant:

•

at any time while the warrants are exercisable,

•

upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption,

•

if, and only if, the last sales price of shares of the Class A common stock equals or exceeds $45.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a

30-trading

day period (the

“30-day

trading period”) ending three business days before the Company sends the notice of redemption, and

•

if, and only if, there is a current registration statement in effect with respect to the shares of Class A common stock underlying such warrants commencing five business days prior to the

30-day

trading period and continuing each day thereafter until the date of redemption.

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

In no event will the Company be required to net cash settle any warrant. If the Company is unable to complete a Partnering Transaction within the Partnering 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.

Class

A Common Stock

- The Company is authorized to issue 380,000,000 shares of Class A common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were 245,600 shares of Class A common stock issued and outstanding excluding 16,560,000 shares of Class A common stock subject to possible redemption and are classified as temporary equity (see Note 7).

Class

B Common Stock

- The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 shares of Class B common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were 120,000 shares of Class B common stock issued and outstanding.

On the last day of each fiscal year following the completion of a Partnering Transaction (and, with respect to any year in which the Company has a change of control or in which the Company liquidates, dissolves or winds up, on the business day immediately prior to such event instead of on the last day of such fiscal year), 10,000 shares of the Company’s Class B common stock will automatically convert into shares of Class A common stock (“conversion shares”), as follows:

•	If the price per share of Class A common stock has not exceeded $27.50 for 20 out of 30 consecutive trading days at any time following completion of the Partnering Transaction, the number of conversion shares for any fiscal year will be 1,000 shares of Class A common stock.

•	If the price per share of Class A common stock exceeded $27.50 for 20 out of any 30 consecutive trading days at any time following completion of the Partnering Transaction, then the number of conversion shares for any fiscal year will be the greater of:

•

20% of the increase in the price of one Class A share, year-over-year but in respect of the increase above the relevant “price threshold” (as defined below), multiplied by the number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding at the close of the Partnering Transaction, excluding those shares of Class A common stock received by the Sponsor through the Class F common stock, divided by the annual volume weighted average price of shares of Class A common stock for such fiscal year (the “annual VWAP”); and

•	1,000 shares of Class A common stock.

•	The increase in the price of the Company’s Class A common stock will be based on the annual VWAP for the relevant fiscal year.

For purposes of the foregoing calculations, the “price threshold” will initially equal $25.00 for the first fiscal year following completion of the Partnering Transaction and will thereafter be adjusted at the beginning of each subsequent fiscal year to be equal to the greater of (i) the annual VWAP for the immediately preceding fiscal year and (ii) the price threshold for the preceding fiscal year.

For calculation purposes, the total number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding at the closing of the Partnering Transaction can be no smaller than 33,120,000 shares of Class A common stock and no greater than 66,240,000 shares of Class A common stock.

Upon a change of control occurring after the Partnering Transaction (but not in connection with the Partnering Transaction), holders of the Performance Shares shall receive cash in the amount is the greater of: (a) the value of approximately 3.3 million shares of Class A common stock at the time of the announcement of the change of control or (b) $82.8 million. Such calculation shall decrease by

one-twelfth

each year based on the number of days that have occurred during the fiscal year divided by 360.

For so long as any shares of Class B common stock remain outstanding, including prior to the Partnering Transaction, in connection with the Partnering Transaction, or following the Partnering Transaction, the Company may not, without the prior vote or written consent of the holders of a majority of the Performance Shares then outstanding, voting separately as a single class, (A) amend, alter or repeal any provision the amended and restated certificate of incorporation, whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise, if such amendment, alteration or repeal would alter or change the powers, preferences or relative, participating, optional or other or special rights of the Class B common stock, (B) change the Company’s fiscal year, (C) increase the number of directors on the board, (D) pay any dividends or effect any split on any of the Company’s capital stock or make any distributions of cash, securities or any other property, (E) adopt any stockholder rights plan, (F) acquire any entity or business with assets at a purchase price greater than 10% or more of the Company’s total assets, (G) issue any Class A shares in excess of 20% of the Company’s then outstanding Class A shares or that would otherwise require a stockholder vote pursuant to the rules of the stock exchange on which the Class A shares are then listed or (H) make a rights offering to all or substantially all of the holders of shares of Class B common stock or issue additional shares of Class B common stock.

Class

F Common Stock

- The Company is authorized to issue 50,000,000 shares of Class F common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were 828,000 shares of Class F common stock issued and outstanding.

The Class F common stock will automatically convert into shares of Class A common stock concurrently with or immediately following the consummation of the Partnering Transaction on a

one-for-one

basis, subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like, and subject to further adjustment as provided herein. In the case that additional shares of Class A common stock or equity- linked securities are issued or deemed issued in connection with the Partnering Transaction, the number of shares of Class A common stock issuable upon conversion of all Founder Shares will equal, in the aggregate, on an

as-converted

basis, 5% of the total number of shares of

as-converted

Class A common stock outstanding after such conversion (including the private placement shares), including the total number of shares of Class A common stock issued, or deemed issued or issuable upon conversion or exercise of any equity- linked securities or rights issued or deemed issued, by the Company in connection with or in relation to the consummation of the Partnering Transaction; provided that such conversion of Founder Shares into shares of Class A common stock will never occur on a less than

one-for-one

basis.

For so long as any shares of Class F common stock remain outstanding, the Company may not, without the prior vote or written consent of the holders of a majority of the shares of Class F common stock then outstanding, voting separately as a single class, amend, alter or repeal any provision of the Company’s certificate of incorporation, whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise, if such amendment, alteration or repeal would alter or change the powers, preferences or relative, participating, optional or other or special rights of the shares of Class F common stock. Any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the holders of shares of Class F common stock may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of the outstanding shares of Class F common stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares of Class F common stock were present and voted.

Preferred stock

- The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there are no shares of preferred stock issued or outstanding.

Transfers to/from Levels 1, 2, and 3 are recognized at the end of the reporting period. The estimated fair value of the Public Warrants was transferred from a Level 3 measurement to a Level 1 fair value measurement during the quarter ended March 31, 2021 once the Public Warrants were separately listed and traded. The estimated fair value of the Private Placement Warrants of $27,510

was transferred from a Level 3 measurement to a Level 2 fair value measurement on July 1, 2022. As the transfer of Private Placement Warrants to anyone who is not a permitted transferee would result in the Private Placement Warrants having substantially the same terms as the Public Warrants, the Company determined that the fair value of each Private Placement Warrant is equivalent to that of each Public Warrant. There were no other transfers between levels of the hierarchy for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, and for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Level 1 instruments include investments in mutual funds invested in U.S. government securities and Level 1 liabilities include derivative warrant liabilities - Public Warrants. The Company uses inputs such as actual trade data, benchmark yields, quoted market prices from dealers or brokers, and other similar sources to determine the fair value of its investments.

The initial fair value of the Public Warrants was calculated

using a Monte Carlo simulation as well as a modified Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model and the fair value of the Private Placement Warrants was calculated using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model.

Subsequently, the fair value of the Public Warrants has been measured based on the listed market price of such warrants as a Level 1 measurement, since February 2021. The fair value of the Private Placement Warrants through June 30, 2022 has been calculated using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model

(Level 3 inputs)

and subsequently has relied on the quoted listed trading price of the Public Warrants

(Level 2 inputs)

. For the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company recognized a gain to the unaudited condensed statements of operations resulting from a decrease in the fair value of liabilities of approximately $

836,000 and $2.7 million, respectively, presented as change in fair value of derivative warrant liabilities on the accompanying unaudited condensed statements of operations. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company recognized a gain to the unaudited condensed statements of operations resulting from a decrease in the fair value of liabilities of approximately $5.8 million and $10.1 million, respectively, presented as change in fair value of derivative warrant liabilities on the accompanying unaudited condensed statements of operations.

The estimated fair value of the Private Placement Warrants, and the Public Warrants prior to being separately listed and traded, is determined using Level 3 inputs. Inherent in the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model are assumptions related to expected stock-price volatility, expected life, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. The Company estimates the volatility of its Class A common stock warrants based on implied volatility from the Company’s traded warrants. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury

zero-coupon

yield curve on the grant date for a maturity similar to the expected remaining life of the warrants. The expected life of the warrants is assumed to be equivalent to their remaining contractual term. The dividend rate is based on the historical rate, which the Company anticipates remaining at zero.

The following table provides quantitative information regarding Level 3 fair value measurements inputs at their measurement dates:

Events

Management has evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date through the date the unaudited condensed financial statements were available for issuance. Based upon this review, the Company did not identify any subsequent events, other than as described below, that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the unaudited condensed financial statements.

On October 31, 2022, the Company filed a preliminary proxy statement on Schedule 14A with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) relating to a special meeting of stockholders to consider and vote upon a proposal (the "Extension Proposal") to extend the date by which the Company must consummate a Partnering Transaction from December 14, 2022 (or March 14, 2023, if the Company has executed a letter of intent, agreement in principle or definitive agreement for an initial Partnering Transaction by December 14, 2022) to September 30, 2023 or such earlier date as determined by the Company’s board of directors (the "Extension"). As of the date of this report, the Company has not filed with the SEC, or mailed to stockholders, a definitive proxy statement relating to the special meeting. The Company’s board of directors may elect to abandon the special meeting at any time prior to such meeting.

Beginning October 28, 2022, the Company entered into investor support agreements with certain anchor investors, members of the board of directors of the Company and operating partners of the Company (the “Investors”) collectively holding approximately 10.4% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s Class A common stock. Pursuant to the investor support agreements, the Investors agreed (i) to vote all their shares of Class A common stock in favor of the Extension Proposal and adjournment proposal described in the preliminary proxy statement, (ii) not to redeem their shares in connection with the Extension and (iii) not to sell their shares before December 14, 2022 unless the Company chooses to not pursue the Extension Proposal or the potential Partnering Transaction described in the preliminary proxy statement before such date.

In early November 2022, the Company instructed Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the trustee with respect to the Trust Account, to liquidate the U.S. government treasury obligations or money market funds held in the Trust Account and thereafter to hold all funds in the Trust Account in cash (i.e., in one or more non-interest bearing bank accounts) until the earlier of consummation of the the potential Partnering Transaction described in the preliminary proxy statement or liquidation.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

References to the “Company,” “Periphas Capital Partnering Corporation,” “Periphas,” “our,” “us” or “we” refer to Periphas Capital Partnering Corporation. The following discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited interim condensed financial statements and the notes thereto contained elsewhere in this report. Certain information contained in the discussion and analysis set forth below includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and projections about future events. These forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions about us that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “continue,” or the negative of such terms or other similar expressions. Such statements include, but are not limited to, possible Partnering Transactions (as defined below) and the financing thereof, and related matters, as well as all other statements other than statements of historical fact included in this Form 10-Q. Factors that might cause or contribute to such a discrepancy include, but are not limited to, those described in our other Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filings.

Overview

We are a blank check company incorporated in Delaware on September 11, 2020. We were formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Partnering Transaction”). We are an emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with emerging growth companies.

Our sponsor is PCPC Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”). The registration statement for our Initial Public Offering was declared effective on December 9, 2020. On December 14, 2020, we consummated our Initial Public Offering of 14,400,000 CAPS^TM at $25.00 per CAPS^TM, generating gross proceeds of $360.0 million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $4.0 million (net of reimbursement of offering costs of approximately $350,000 from the underwriter). On December 14, 2020, the underwriter exercised the over-allotment option in full, and on December 16, 2020, purchased 2,160,000 additional CAPS^TM (the “Over-Allotment CAPS^™”), generating additional gross proceeds of $54.0 million, and incurred additional offering costs of approximately $540,000 in underwriting fees (the “Over-Allotment”).

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the private placement (“Private Placement”) of 224,000 private placement CAPS^TM (the “Private Placement CAPS^TM”) at a price of $25.00 per CAPS^TM to the Sponsor, generating proceeds of $5.6 million. Simultaneously with the closing of the Over-Allotment on December 16, 2020, we consummated the second closing of the Private Placement, resulting in the purchase of an aggregate of an additional 21,600 Private Placement CAPS^TM at a price of $25.00 per CAPS^TM by the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $540,000.

Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement on December 14, 2020, $360.0 million ($25.00 per CAPS^TM) of the net proceeds of the sale of the CAPS^TM in the Initial Public Offering and of the Private Placement CAPS^TM in the Private Placement were placed in a trust account (“Trust Account”) located in the United States with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee, and were invested in money market funds meeting the conditions of paragraphs (d)(2), (d)(3) and (d)(4) of Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations, as determined by us. Upon the closing of the Over-Allotment on December 16, 2020, additional net proceeds from the consummation of the Over-Allotment of $54.0 million were placed in the Trust Account, for a total of $414.0 million held in Trust Account. In early November 2022, we instructed Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company to liquidate the U.S. government securities or money market funds held in the Trust Account. All funds in the Trust Account are currently held in cash (i.e., in one or more non-interest bearing bank accounts) and will continue to be held in cash until the earlier of consummation of a Partnering Transaction or liquidation of the Company.

Our management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of our initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering”) of our securities called CAPS^TM, although substantially all of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering are intended to be generally applied toward completing a Partnering Transaction. Furthermore, there is no assurance that we will be able to successfully complete a Partnering Transaction.

We will have until December 14, 2022, (or March 14, 2023, if we have executed a letter of intent, agreement in principle or definitive agreement for the Partnering Transaction by December 14, 2022) to complete our initial Partnering Transaction (the “Partnering Period”). If we do not complete a Partnering Transaction within this period of time (and stockholders do not approve an amendment to the certificate of incorporation to extend this date), it 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, of $25.00, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining shareholders and the board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in the case of clauses (i) and (iii), to our obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and in all cases subject to the other requirements of applicable law.

Liquidity and Going Concern

As of September 30, 2022, we had cash of approximately $274,000 and a working capital deficit of approximately $322,000.

Our liquidity needs through the Initial Public Offering had been satisfied through a payment of $25,000 from the Sponsor to cover certain offering costs on our behalf in exchange for the issuance of the Founder Shares and the Performance Shares, the loan under the Note from the Sponsor of approximately $148,000 to us, and the net proceeds from the consummation of the Private Placement not held in the Trust Account. We fully repaid the Note on December 15, 2020 and borrowing is no longer available. In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Partnering Transaction, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, provide us Working Capital Loans. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had $200,000 and $0, respectively, outstanding Working Capital Loans.

In connection with our assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” we have until December 14, 2022 (or March 14, 2023, if we execute a letter of intent, agreement in principle or definitive agreement for the Partnering Transaction by December 14, 2022) to consummate a Partnering Transaction. It is uncertain that we will be able to consummate a Partnering Transaction by this time. If a Partnering Transaction is not consummated by this date, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution of the Company. Management has determined that the liquidity condition and mandatory liquidation, should a Partnering Transaction not occur, and potential subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after December 14, 2022.

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 our financial position, results of its operations and search for a partner candidate company, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of these financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

corporations are permitted to net the fair market value of certain new stock issuances against the fair market value of stock repurchases during the same taxable year. In addition, certain exceptions apply to the excise tax. The U.S. Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury”) has been given authority to provide regulations and other guidance to carry out and prevent the abuse or avoidance of the excise tax. Any share redemption or other share repurchase that occur after December 31, 2022, in connection with a Business Combination, extension vote or otherwise, may be subject to the excise tax. Whether and to what extent our would be subject to the excise tax in connection with a Business Combination, extension vote or otherwise will depend on a number of factors, including (i) the fair market value of the redemptions and repurchases in connection with the Business Combination, extension or otherwise, (ii) the structure of a Business Combination, (iii) the nature and amount of any “PIPE” or other equity issuances in connection with a Business Combination (or otherwise issued not in connection with a Business Combination but issued within the same taxable year of a Business Combination) and (iv) the content of regulations and other guidance from the Treasury. In addition, because the excise tax would be payable to us and not by the redeeming holder, the mechanics of any required payment of the excise tax have not been determined. The foregoing could cause a reduction in the cash available on hand to complete a Business Combination and in our ability to complete a Business Combination.

Risks and Uncertainties

Global events, such as recent geopolitical instability, inflation and the COVID-19 pandemic, have created or contributed to uncertainty in macroeconomic conditions, including changes in interest rates, supply chain disruptions, labor shortages and increased labor costs, which, in turn, could decrease overall economic activity, hinder economic growth or cause a recession in the United States or in the global economy. The extent of the impact of ongoing macroeconomic conditions on our financial position, results of our operations and/or search for a target company is uncertain and will depend on political, social, economic and regulatory factors that are outside of our control, including but not limited to the incidence and severity of additional COVID-19 virus variants and actions that may be taken by regulators and businesses in response to macroeconomic uncertainty. We considered the impact of the current economic environment and COVID-19 on our estimates and assumptions and determined that there were no material adverse impacts on the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2022 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. As events continue to evolve and additional information becomes available, our estimates and assumptions may change materially in future periods.

Results of Operations

Our entire activity since inception up to our Initial Public Offering was in preparation for our Initial Public Offering in December 2020, and since the consummation of our Initial Public Offering, our activity has been limited to the search for a prospective Partnering Transaction. We will not be generating any operating revenues until the closing and completion of our initial Partnering Transaction.

For the three months ended September 30, 2022, we had a net income of approximately $1.8 million, which consisted of approximately a $836,000 gain from changes in fair value of derivative warrant liabilities and approximately a $1.5 million gain on investments held in Trust Account, partially offset by approximately $120,000 in general and administrative expenses, $60,000 in general and administrative expenses - related party, approximately $308,000 in income tax expense, and approximately $50,000 in franchise tax expense.

For the three months ended September 30, 2021, we had net income of approximately $2.4 million, which consisted of approximately $2.7 million gain in change in fair value of derivative warrant liabilities and approximately a $16,000 gain on investment held in Trust Account, partially offset by approximately $140,000 in general and administrative expenses, $60,000 in general and administrative expenses - related party, and approximately $50,000 in franchise tax expense.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we had a net income of approximately $6.8 million, which consisted of approximately a $5.8 million gain from changes in fair value of derivative warrant liabilities and approximately a $2.1 million gain on investments held in Trust Account, partially offset by approximately $399,000 in general and administrative expenses, $180,000 in general and administrative expenses - related party, approximately $382,000 in income tax expense, and approximately $150,000 in franchise tax expense.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we had net income of approximately $9.3 million, which consisted of approximately $10.1 million gain in change in fair value of derivative warrant liabilities and approximately a $29,000 gain on investment held in Trust Account, partially offset by approximately $519,000 in general and administrative expenses, $183,000 in general and administrative expenses - related party, and approximately $148,000 in franchise tax expense.

Contractual Obligations

We do not have any long-term debt obligations, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations, purchase obligations or long-term liabilities, other than an agreement to pay Administrative Services Agreement fees to our Sponsor that total $20,000 per month for office space, secretarial and administrative services provided to members of our management team. During each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company incurred $60,000 and $180,000, respectively, in expenses in connection with such services.

Registration and Stockholder Rights

The holders of the Founder Shares, Performance Shares, Forward Purchase Shares, Private Placement Warrants and private placement shares underlying Private Placement CAPS^TM and private placement CAPS^TM that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans (and any shares of Class A common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants that are part of the Private Placement CAPS^TM, and CAPS^TM may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans and upon conversion of the Founder Shares and the Performance Shares) are entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement signed upon the effective date of the Initial Public Offering, requiring the Company to register such securities for resale. The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that we register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of the Partnering Transaction. We will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. A summary of our significant accounting policies is included in Note 2 to our condensed financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report. Certain of our accounting policies are considered critical, as these policies are the most important to the depiction of our financial statements and require significant, difficult or complex judgments, often employing the use of estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. Such policies are summarized in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 22, 2022. There have been no significant changes in the application of our critical accounting policies during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Recent Issued Accounting Standards

In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-03, ASC Subtopic 820 “Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions.” The ASU amends ASC 820 to clarify that a contractual sales restriction is not considered in measuring an equity security at fair value and to introduce new disclosure requirements for equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions that are measured at fair value. The ASU applies to both holders and issuers of equity and equity-linked securities measured at fair value. The amendments in this ASU are effective for the Company in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for both interim and annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The Company is still evaluating the impact of this pronouncement on the condensed financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Our management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards updates, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

JOBS Act

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

Additionally, we are in the process of evaluating the benefits of relying on the other reduced reporting requirements provided by the JOBS Act. Subject to certain conditions set forth in the JOBS Act, if, as an “emerging growth company,” we choose to rely on such exemptions we may not be required to, among other things, (i) provide an auditor’s attestation report on our system of internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404, (ii) provide all of the compensation disclosure that may be required of non-emerging growth public companies under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, (iii) comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the PCAOB regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (auditor discussion and analysis) and (iv) disclose certain executive compensation related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the CEO’s compensation to median employee compensation. These exemptions will apply for a period of five years following the completion of our Initial Public Offering or until we are no longer an “emerging growth company,” whichever is earlier.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

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

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2022, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer has concluded that during the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2022.

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.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2022 covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

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 Quarterly Report are any of the risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 22, 2022. Any of these factors could result in a significant or material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. Additional risk factors not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business or results of operations. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, except as set forth below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC March 22, 2022.

The excise tax included in the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 may decrease the value of our securities following our initial Partnering Transaction, hinder our ability to consummate an initial Partnering Transaction and decrease the amount of funds available for distribution in connection with a liquidation.

On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IR Act”) was signed into federal law. The IR Act provides for, among other things, a new U.S. federal 1% excise tax on certain repurchases of stock by publicly traded U.S. domestic corporations and certain U.S. domestic subsidiaries of publicly traded foreign corporations occurring on or after January 1, 2023. The excise tax is imposed on the repurchasing corporation itself, not its shareholders from which shares are repurchased. The amount of the excise tax is generally 1% of the fair market value of the shares repurchased at the time of the repurchase. However, for purposes of calculating the excise tax, repurchasing corporations are permitted to net the fair market value of certain new stock issuances against the fair market value of stock repurchases during the same taxable year. In addition, certain exceptions apply to the excise tax. The U.S. Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury”) has been given authority to provide regulations and other guidance to carry out and prevent the abuse or avoidance of the excise tax. Any share redemption or other share repurchase that occurs after December 31, 2022 in connection with a Partnering Transaction, extension vote or otherwise may be subject to the excise tax. Whether and to what extent we would be subject to the excise tax in connection with a Partnering Transaction, extension vote or otherwise will depend on a number of factors, including (i) the fair market value of the redemptions and repurchases in connection with a Partnering Transaction, extension vote or otherwise, (ii) the structure of a Partnering Transaction, (iii) the nature and amount of any private investment in public equity (“PIPE”) or other equity issuances in connection with a Partnering Transaction (or otherwise issued not in connection with a Partnering Transaction but issued within the same taxable year of a Partnering Transaction) and (iv) the content of regulations and other guidance from the Treasury. In addition, because the excise tax would be payable by us and not by the redeeming holder, the mechanics of any required payment of the excise tax have not been determined. The foregoing could cause a reduction in the cash available on hand to complete a Partnering Transaction and inhibit our ability to complete a Partnering Transaction.

While our sponsor is not controlled by any “foreign person,” any Partnering Transaction could potentially be subject to U.S. foreign investment regulations which may impose conditions on or limit certain investors’ ability to purchase our securities or otherwise participate in the Partnering Transaction, potentially making the securities less attractive to investors. Moreover, future investments in U.S. companies may also be subject to U.S. foreign investment regulations.

Depending on the pre-existing ownership and control of any target company, among other things, any Partnering Transaction may be subject to regulatory review and approval requirements by governmental entities, or ultimately prohibited. For example, the Committee on Foreign Investment in the U.S. (“CFIUS”) is an interagency committee authorized to review certain transactions involving acquisitions and investments in the U.S. by foreign persons in order to determine the effect of such transactions on the national security of the U.S. CFIUS has jurisdiction to review transactions that could result in control of a U.S. business directly or indirectly by a foreign person, certain non-controlling investments that afford the foreign investor non-passive rights in a “TID U.S. business” (defined as a U.S. business that (1) produces, designs, tests, manufactures, fabricates, or develops one or more critical technologies; (2) owns or operates certain critical infrastructure; or (3) collects or maintains directly or indirectly sensitive personal data of U.S. citizens), and certain acquisitions, leases, and concessions involving real estate even with no underlying U.S. business. Certain categories of acquisitions of and investments in a U.S. business also may be subject to a mandatory notification requirement.

While any Partnering Transaction would not be subject to CFIUS review by virtue of the ownership and control of the sponsor, any pre-existing ownership and control of a target company that continues post-closing, and/or any foreign person investments in a concurrent PIPE, may trigger CFIUS’ jurisdiction. If this occurs, a Partnering Transaction could be subject to mandatory or voluntary CFIUS review and we may be unable to consummate the Partnering Transaction. CFIUS could, among other things, decide to delay a Partnering Transaction, impose conditions to mitigate national security risks arising from the transaction, recommend to the President that a Partnering Transaction be prohibited, order us to divest all or a portion of a U.S. business of a target company, or impose penalties if CFIUS believes that the mandatory notification requirement applied and we did not make a filing.

Moreover, the process of any government review, whether by CFIUS or otherwise, could be lengthy. This may limit the pool of potential targets. Because we have only a limited time to complete any Partnering Transaction, our failure to obtain any required approvals within the requisite time period may require us to liquidate. If we liquidate, our public stockholders may only receive $25.00 per Public Share initially, and our warrants will expire worthless. This will also cause you to lose any potential investment opportunity in a target and the chance of realizing future gains on your investment through any price appreciation in a target.

In addition, CFIUS could choose to review past or proposed transactions involving new or existing foreign investors in any target company, even if a filing with CFIUS is or was not required at the time of the Partnering Transaction. Any review and approval of an investment or transaction by CFIUS may have outsized impacts on transaction certainty, timing, feasibility, and cost, among other things. CFIUS policies and practices are rapidly evolving, and in the event that CFIUS reviews one or more proposed or existing investment by investors, there can be no assurances that such investors will be able to maintain, or proceed with, such investments on terms acceptable to such investors. CFIUS could seek to impose limitations or restrictions on, or prohibit, investments by such investors (including, but not limited to, limits on purchasing our stock, limits on information sharing with such investors, requiring a voting trust, governance modifications, or forced divestiture, among other things).

These restrictions on the ability of foreign persons to invest in us could limit our ability to engage in strategic transactions that could benefit our stockholders, including a change of control, and could also affect the price that an investor may be willing to pay for common stock or the securities after we undertake a Partnering Transaction.

The SEC has recently issued proposed rules to regulate special purpose acquisition companies. Certain of the procedures that we, a potential Partnering Transaction target or others may determine to undertake in connection with such proposals may increase our costs and the time needed to complete the potential Partnering Transaction and may constrain the circumstances under which we could complete the potential Partnering Transaction.

On March 30, 2022, the SEC issued proposed rules (the “SPAC Rule Proposals”) relating, among other items, to disclosures in business combination transactions or Partnering Transactions between SPACs such as us and private operating companies; the condensed financial statement requirements applicable to transactions involving shell companies; the use of projections by SPACs in SEC filings in connection with proposed business combination or Partnering Transactions; the potential liability of certain participants in proposed business combination or Partnering Transactions; and the extent to which SPACs could become subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act, including a proposed rule that would provide SPACs a safe harbor from treatment as an investment company if they satisfy certain conditions that limit a SPAC’s duration, asset composition, business purpose and activities. Certain of the procedures that we, a potential Partnering Transaction target or others may determine to undertake in connection with the SPAC Rule Proposals, or pursuant to the SEC’s views expressed in the SPAC Rule Proposals, may increase the costs of negotiating and completing a potential Partnering Transaction and the time required to consummate a transaction, and may constrain the circumstances under which we could complete a potential Partnering Transaction.

If we are deemed to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act, we may be forced to abandon our efforts to complete a potential Partnering Transaction and instead be required to liquidate the Company. To mitigate the risk of that result, in September 2022, we instructed Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company to liquidate the securities held in the Trust Account and instead hold all funds in the Trust Account in cash. As a result, following such change, we will likely receive minimal, if any, interest on the funds held in the Trust Account, which may reduce the dollar amount that our public shareholders would receive upon any redemption or liquidation of the Company.

As indicated above, the Company completed its initial public offering in December 2020 and has operated as a blank check company searching for a company with which to partner to effectuate a Partnering Transaction since such time (or approximately 23 months). The SPAC Rule Proposals relate, among other matters, to the circumstances in which SPACs such as us could potentially be subject to the Investment Company Act. The SPAC Rule Proposals would provide a safe harbor for such companies from the definition of “investment company” under Section 3(a)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act, provided that a SPAC satisfies certain criteria. To comply with the duration limitation of the proposed safe harbor, a SPAC would have a limited time period to announce and complete a de-SPAC transaction. Specifically, to comply with the safe harbor, the SPAC Rule Proposals would require a company to file a report on Form 8-K announcing that it has entered into an agreement with a target company for an initial business combination or Partnering Transaction no later than 18 months after the effective date of the registration statement for its initial public offering. The company would then be required to complete its initial business combination or Partnering Transaction no later than 24 months after the effective date of the initial public offering registration statement. We understand that the SEC has recently been taking informal positions regarding the Investment Company Act consistent with the SPAC Rule Proposals.

There is currently uncertainty concerning the applicability of the Investment Company Act to a SPAC, including a company like ours, that does not complete its initial business combination or Partnering Transaction within the proposed time frame set forth in the proposed safe harbor rule. As a result, it is possible that a claim could be made that we have been operating as an unregistered investment company. If we were deemed to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act, we might be forced to abandon our efforts to complete a potential Partnering Transaction and instead be required to liquidate the Company. If we are required to liquidate the Company, our investors would not be able to realize the benefits of owning shares in a successor operating business, including the potential appreciation in the value of our shares and warrants or rights following such a transaction, and our warrants would expire worthless.

The funds in the Trust Account were, from our initial public offering, held only in U.S. government treasury obligations with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds investing solely in U.S. government treasury obligations and meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act. To mitigate the risk of us being deemed to have been operating as an unregistered investment company (including under the subjective test of Section 3(a)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended), in early November 2022, we instructed Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the trustee with respect to the Trust Account, to liquidate the U.S. government treasury obligations or money market funds held in the Trust Account and thereafter to hold all funds in the Trust Account in cash (i.e., in one or more non-interest bearing bank accounts) until the earlier of consummation of the potential Partnering Transaction or liquidation. This means that the amount available for redemption may not increase in the future.
