NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2023

(UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS

Churchill Capital Corp V (formerly known as One Judith Acquisition Corp) (the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware on May 12, 2020. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”).

The Company is an early stage and emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies.

As of June 30, 2023, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from May 12, 2020 (inception) through June 30, 2023 relates to the Company’s formation and the initial public offering (“Initial Public Offering”), which is described below, and identifying a target company for a Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company generates

non-operating

income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering. The registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on December 15, 2020. On December 18, 2020, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 50,000,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the shares of Class A common stock included in the Units sold, the “Public Shares”), which includes the partial exercise by the underwriter of its over-allotment option in the amount of 5,000,000 Units, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $500,000,000, which is described in Note 3. The remaining 1,750,000 shares of the over-allotment option was forfeited on the day of the partial exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment.

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 11,000,000 warrants (each, a “Private Placement Warrant” and, collectively, the “Private Placement Warrants”) at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant in a private placement to Churchill Sponsor V LLC (the “Sponsor”), an affiliate of M. Klein and Company, LLC, generating gross proceeds of $11,000,000, which is described in Note 4.

Transaction costs amounted to $26,982,949, consisting of $8,950,000 of underwriting fees, net of $1,050,000 reimbursed from the underwriters (see Note 6), $17,500,000 of deferred underwriting fees and $532,949 of other offering costs.

Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering on December 18, 2020, an amount of $500,000,000 ($10.00 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants was placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”), invested in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), with a maturity of 185 days or less or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund meeting the conditions of

Rule

2a-7

of the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a Business Combination or (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account, as described below, except that interest earned on the Trust Account can be released to the Company to fund working capital requirements, subject to an annual limit of $1,000,000, and to pay its tax obligations (“permitted withdrawals”).

To mitigat

e 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), on December 15, 2022, the

24-month

anniversary of the effective date of our registration statement relating to the Initial Public Offering, we instructed the Trustee with respect to the Trust Account, to liquidate the U.S. government securities or money market funds held in the Trust Account and thereafter to hold all funds in the Trust Account in cash (which may include demand deposit accounts) until the earlier of consummation of our Business Combination or liquidation.

Furthermore, such cash is held in bank accounts, which exceed federally insured limits as guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”). While we have only placed our trust account deposits with JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A., only a small portion of the funds in our trust account will be guaranteed by the FDIC.

On March 14, 2023, the stockholders of the Company approved a proposal to adopt an amendment, which is described in more detail in the definitive proxy statement of the Company filed with the SEC on February 21, 2023, to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation”) to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a Business Combination (the “Extension”) from March 18, 2023 to December 18, 2023 (or such earlier date as determined by the Company’s board of directors) (the “Charter Amendment”). The Charter Amendment was filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on March 15, 2023. In connection with the Extension,

35,223,748

shares of Class A Common Stock were redeemed, resulting in the payment of $

354,882,716

from the Trust Account.

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to complete a Business Combination successfully. The Company’s initial Business Combination must be with one or more target businesses that together have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the balance in the Trust Account (excluding taxes payable on interest income earned from the Trust Account and the deferred underwriting commissions) at the time of the agreement to enter into the initial Business Combination. The Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect a Business Combination.

The Company will provide its holders of the outstanding Public Shares (the “public stockholders”) with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares in connection with a Business Combination either (i) in connection with a stockholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek stockholder approval of a Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion. The public stockholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then on deposit in the Trust Account (initially anticipated to be $10.00 per Public Share, plus any pro rata interest, net of permitted withdrawals). The

per-share

amount to be distributed to public stockholders who redeem their Public Shares will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting commissions the Company will pay to the underwriters (as discussed in Note 6). There will be no redemption rights upon the completion of a Business Combination with respect to the Company’s warrants.

The

Company will not redeem Public Shares in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets to be less than $

5,000,001

(so that it does not then become subject to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s (the “SEC”) “penny stock” rules). If the Company seeks stockholder approval of a Business Combination, the Company will proceed with a Business Combination if a majority of the outstanding shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination, or such other vote as required by law or stock exchange rule. If a stockholder vote is not required by law or stock exchange requirements and the Company does not decide to hold a stockholder vote for business or other legal reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the SEC and file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination. If, however, stockholder approval of the transaction is required by law, or the Company decides to obtain stockholder approval for business or legal reasons, the Company will offer to redeem shares in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules and not pursuant to the tender offer rules. If the Company seeks stockholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, the Company’s Sponsor and its permitted transferees have agreed to vote their Founder Shares (as defined in Note 5) and any Public Shares acquired during or after the Initial Public Offering in favor of approving a Business Combination. Additionally, public stockholders may elect to redeem their Public Shares irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed Business Combination.

If the Company seeks stockholder approval of a Business Combination and it does not conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules, the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that a public stockholder, together with any affiliate of such stockholder or any other person with whom such stockholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), will be restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% or more of the Public Shares, without the prior consent of the Company.

The Sponsor has agreed (a) to waive its redemption rights with respect to its Founder Shares and the Public Shares held by it in connection with the completion of a Business Combination, (b) to waive its rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to its Founder Shares if the Company fails to consummate a Business Combination within the Combination Window (as defined below) and (c) not to propose an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation that would affect the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem one hundred percent (100%) of its Public Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination, unless the Company provides the public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their shares in conjunction with any such amendment.

Following a stockholder vote on March 14, 2023, the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation was amended to extend the window the Company had to complete a Business Combination from March 18, 2023 to December 18, 2023 or such earlier date as determined by the board of directors.

If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination by December 18, 2023 (or such earlier date as determined by the board of directors) (the “Combination Window”), the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten (10) business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares, at a

per-share

price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account including interest (net of permitted withdrawals and up to $100,000

to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of the then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining stockholders and the Company’s board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to the Public Warrants, which will expire worthless if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Window.

In March 2023, April

2023, May 2023, and June 2023, the Company deposited $250,000 into the Trust Account in accordance with the conditions of the extension, for total deposit of $1,000,000 to date. In connection with the extension payment the Company borrowed $1,000,000 against the extension promissory note, the extension promissory note has a balance of $1,000,000 with $1,250,000 available for withdrawal as of

June 30, 2023

The Sponsor has agreed to waive its right to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to the Founder Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Window. However, if the Sponsor acquires Public Shares in or after the Initial Public Offering, such Public Shares will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Window. The underwriters have agreed to waive their rights to their deferred underwriting commission (see Note 6) held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Window and, in such event, such amounts will be included with the other funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the Public Shares. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the funds on deposit in the Trust Account remaining available for distribution will be less than the Initial Public Offering price per Unit of $10.00 in the Initial Public Offering.

(UNAUDITED)

In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed to be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party (other than the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm) 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 similar agreement, reduce the amount of funds on deposit in the Trust Account to below (i) $10.00 per Public Share or (ii) the amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the liquidation of the Trust Account, if less than $10.00 per Public Share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, in each case, net of permitted withdrawals. This liability will not apply with respect to any claims by a third party that executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account or to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Moreover, in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third-party claims. The Company will seek to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor will have to indemnify the Company due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers, prospective target businesses or other entities with which the Company does business, execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account.

Liquidity and Going Concern

As of June 30, 2023, we had cash of $40,516. We intend to use the funds held outside the Trust Account primarily to identify and evaluate target businesses, perform business due diligence on prospective target businesses, travel to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, review corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, and structure, negotiate and complete a Business Combination.

In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the initial stockholders or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. If we complete a Business Combination, such loaned amounts would be repaid using proceeds from the trust as part of the closing of the Business Combination or converted into warrants if loan contains a convertible feature. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from our Trust Account would be used for such repayment.

On August 30, 2021, the Company entered into a convertible promissory note with the Sponsor pursuant to which the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company up to an aggregate principal amount of $1,500,000 (the “Convertible Promissory Note”). The Convertible Promissory Note is

non-interest

bearing and payable on the earlier of the date on which the Company consummates a Business Combination or the date that the winding up of the Company is effective. If the Company does not consummate a Business Combination, the Company may use a portion of any funds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Promissory Note; however, no proceeds from the Trust Account may be used for such repayment. Up to $1,500,000 of the Convertible Promissory Note may be converted into warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant at the option of the Sponsor. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. On August 30, 2021, October 22, 2021 and February 2, 2023, the Company borrowed $500,000 on each respective date against the convertible promissory note entered into on August 30, 2021. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, $1,500,000 and $1,000,000 had been borrowed with $0 and $500,000 remaining for withdrawal, respectively.

On November 16, 2021, the Company entered into a promissory note (the “Promissory Note”), bearing interest of 1.0% per annum with the Sponsor, pursuant to which the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company up to an aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000. Any borrowed amounts against the Promissory Note are due upon a successful Business Combination or SPAC dissolution, if funds are available. Such loaned amounts would be repaid using proceeds from the trust as part of the closing of the Business Combination. As of this filing, there is $1,000,000 available for withdrawal under the Promissory Note.

These permitted withdrawals are limited to only the interest available that has been earned in excess of the initial deposit at the Initial Public Offering. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company has withdrawn $

470,000 of the $1,000,000 2023 available annual limit; $530,000

remains available for withdrawal for working capital purposes. During the year ended December 31, 2022, all of the 2022 $

1,000,000 annual working capital was withdrawn.

contributions

are made pursuant to a

non-interest

bearing, unsecured promissory note (the “Extension Promissory Note”) issued by the Company to the Sponsor. The Extension Promissory Note provides up to $2,250,000. Contributions are paid monthly beginning on March 17, 2023 until the earliest to occur of (i) the consummation of the Business Combination, (ii) November 17, 2023 and (iii) if a Business Combination is not consummated, the date of liquidation of the Trust Account, as determined in the sole discretion of our board of directors. The Extension Promissory Note will mature on the earlier of (1) the date we consummate a Business Combination and (2) the date that the winding up of the Company is effective. As of June 30, 2023, the Extension Promissory Note had a balance of $1,000,000 with $1,250,000 available for withdrawal.

The Company may need to raise additional capital through loans or additional investments from its Sponsor, stockholders, officers, directors, or third parties. The Company’s officers, directors and Sponsor may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds, from time to time or at any time, in whatever amount they deem reasonable in their sole discretion, to meet the Company’s working capital needs. Accordingly, the Company may not be able to obtain additional financing. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital, it may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but not necessarily be limited to, curtailing operations, suspending the pursuit of a potential transaction, and reducing overhead expenses. The Company cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available to it on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern through one year from the date of these unaudited condensed financial statements if a Business Combination is not consummated. These unaudited condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with ASC Subtopic 205-40,

Presentation of Financial Statements-Going Concern, the Company has until December 18, 2023 or such earlier date as determined by the board of directors to consummate a Business Combination. It is uncertain that the Company will be able to consummate a Business Combination by this time. If a Business Combination is not consummated by this date and an extension not obtained by the Sponsor, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution of the Company. Management has determined that the potential mandatory liquidation and 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 18, 2023 or such earlier date as determined by the board of directors. The Company intends to complete a Business Combination

by December 18, 2023.

Risks and Uncertainties

We continue to evaluate the impact of increases in inflation and rising interest rates, financial market instability, including the recent bank failures, the lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and certain geopolitical events, including the conflict in Ukraine and the surrounding region. We have concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the risks and uncertainties related to or resulting from these events could have a negative effect on our financial position, results of operations and/or ability to complete an initial Business Combination, we

nnot at this time fully predict the likelihood of one or more of the above events, their duration or magnitude or the extent to which they may negatively impact our business and our ability to complete an initial Business Combination.

Inflation Reduction Act of 2022

On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IR Act”) was signed into law. The IR Act provides for, among other things, a new 1% U.S. federal excise tax on certain repurchases (including redemptions) of stock by publicly traded U.S. corporations after December 31, 2022. The excise tax is imposed on the repurchasing corporation itself, not its stockholders from whom the shares are repurchased (although it may reduce the amount of cash distributable in a current or subsequent redemption). The amount of the excise tax is 1% of the fair market value of any shares repurchased by the repurchasing corporation during a taxable year, which may be potentially netted by the fair market value of certain new stock issuances by the repurchasing corporation during the same taxable year. In addition, a number of exceptions apply to this 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, this excise tax.

On December 27, 2022, the Treasury published Notice

2023-2,

which provided clarification on some aspects of the application of the excise tax. The notice generally provides that if a

publicly

traded U.S. corporation completely liquidates and dissolves, distributions in such complete liquidation and other distributions by such corporation in the same taxable year in which the final distribution in complete liquidation and dissolution is made are not subject to the excise tax.

Any such excise tax would be payable by us and not by the redeeming holder, it could cause a reduction in the value of our Class A common stock, cash available with which to effectuate a business combination or cash available for distribution in a subsequent liquidation. Whether and to what extent we would be subject to the excise tax in connection with a business combination will depend on a number of factors, including (i) the structure of the business combination, (ii) the fair market value of the redemptions and repurchases in connection with the business comb

ation, (iii) the nature and amount of any “PIPE” or other equity issuances in connection with the business combination (or any other equity issuances within the same taxable year of the business combination) and (iv) the content of any subsequent regulations, clarifications, and other guidance issued by the Treasury.

Table of Contents

At this time, it has been determined that none of the IR Act tax provisions have an impact to the Company’s fiscal 2022 tax provision. The Company will continue to monitor for updates to the Company’s business along with guidance issued with respect to the IR Act to determine whether any adjustments are needed to the Company’s tax provision in future periods.

NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to

Form 10-Q

and Article 8 of Regulation

S-X

of the SEC. Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented.

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form

10-K

for the year ended December 31, 2022 as filed with the SEC on April 4, 2023. The interim results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023 or for any future periods.

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 independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a

non-binding

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 registration statement under the Securities Act declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to

non-emerging

growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s unaudited condensed financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the condensed financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the unaudited condensed 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 unaudited condensed financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. One of the more significant accounting estimates included in these condensed financial statements is the determination of the fair value of the warrant liabilities. Such estimates may be subject to change as more current information becomes available and, 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 did not have any cash equivalents as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Cash Held in Trust Account

At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the assets held in the Trust Account were cash. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company had withdrawn $

470,000

for working capital purposes and $

2,180,200 for tax obligations. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company had withdrawn from trust $1,000,000 for working capital purposes and $369,471 for tax obligations. As of June 30, 2023 all Trust Account funds were held as cash in a demand deposit account that accrues interest monthly.

On March 14, 2023, the stockholders of the Company approved a proposal to adopt an amendment, which is described in more detail in the definitive proxy statement of the Company filed with the SEC on February 21, 2023, to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a Business Combination (the “Extension”) from March 18, 2023 to December 18, 2023 (or such earlier date as determined by the Company’s board of directors) (the “Charter Amendment”). The Charter Amendment was filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on March 15, 2023. In connection with the Extension, 35,223,748 shares of Class A Common Stock were redeemed, resulting in the payment of $354,882,716 from the Trust Account.

Warrant Liabilities

The Company accounts for the Public Warrants (as defined in Note 3) and Private Placement Warrants (together with the Public Warrants, the “Warrants”) in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815-40,under which the Warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment and must be recorded as liabilities. Accordingly, the Company classifies the Warrants as liabilities at their fair value and adjusts the Warrants to fair value in respect of each reporting period. This liability is subject tore-measurement at each balance sheet date until the Warrants are exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in the statements of operations. The Private Placement Warrants and the Public Warrants for periods where no observable traded price was available are valued using a modified Black-Scholes valuation. For periods subsequent to the detachment of the Public Warrants from the Units, the Public Warrant quoted market price was used as the fair value as of each relevant date.

Class A Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption

The Company accounts for its Class A common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Shares of Class A common stock subject to mandatory redemption are classified as a liability instrument and are measured at redemption value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including common stock that features 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, common stock is classified as stockholders’ deficit. The Company’s Class A common stock features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, Class A common stock subject to possible redemption is presented as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ deficit section of the Company’s balance sheets.

The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable common stock to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of redeemable common stock are affected by charges against additional paid in capital (to the extent available) and accumulated deficit.

At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Class A common stock reflected in the condensed balance sheets are reconciled in the following table:


Gross proceeds	$	500,000,000

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” ASC 740, Income Taxes, requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the unaudited condensed financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and tax credit carry forwards. ASC 740 additionally requires a valuation allowance to be established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized. As of June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company’s deferred tax asset had a full valuation allowance recorded against it. Our effective tax rate was 32.06% and 1.47% for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and (73.82%) and 0.66% for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The effective tax rate differs from the statutory tax rate of 21% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, due to changes of fair value warrant liability and the valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets.

ASC 740 also clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position 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. ASC 740 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim period, disclosure and transition.

The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. 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 has identified the United States as its only “major” tax jurisdiction. The Company is subject to income taxation by major taxing authorities since inception. These examinations may include questioning the timing and amount of deductions, the nexus of income among various tax jurisdictions and compliance with federal and state tax laws. The Company’s management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months.

Net Income (Loss) per Share of Common Stock

Net income (loss) per share of common stock is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. We apply the

two-class

method in calculating income (loss) per share of common stock. Remeasurement adjustment associated with the redeemable shares of Class A common stock is excluded from net income(loss) per share of common stock as the redemption value approximates fair value.

The calculation of diluted income (loss) per share of common stock does not consider the effect of the warrants issued in connection with the (i) Initial Public Offering, and (ii) the private placement to purchase an aggregate of 23,500,000 shares of common stock in the calculation of diluted income (loss) per share of common stock, since the exercise of the warrants is contingent upon the occurrence of future events. As of June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company did not have any dilutive securities or other contracts that could potentially be exercised or converted into shares of common stock and then share in the earnings of the Company. As a result, diluted net income (loss) per share of common stock is the same as basic net income (loss) per share of common stock for the periods presented.

The following table reflects the calculation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per common stock (in dollars, except per share amounts):

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of a cash account in a financial institution, which, at times may exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Corporation coverage limit of $250,000. The Company has not experienced losses on this account.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying balance sheets, primarily due to their short-term nature, except for the Company’s marketable securities held in Trust Account, warrants liabilities and conversion option liability (see Note 9).

Offering Costs

The Company complies with the requirements of

ASC340-10-S99-1and

SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5A – “Expenses of Offering”. Offering costs consist of underwriting, legal, accounting and other expenses incurred through the Initial Public Offering that are directly related to the Initial Public Offering. Offering costs are allocated to the separable financial instruments issued in the Initial Public Offering based on a relative fair value basis, compared to total proceeds received. Offering costs associated with derivative warrant liabilities are expensed as incurred and presented as

non-operating

expenses. Offering costs amounted to $26,982,949, of which $26,303,933 were charged to stockholders’ deficit upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering and $679,016 were charged to operations.

Convertible Debt

The Company accounts for conversion options embedded in convertible notes in accordance with ASC 815. ASC 815 generally requires companies to bifurcate conversion options embedded in convertible notes from their host instruments and to account for them as free-standing derivative financial instruments.

The Company reviews the terms of convertible debt issued to determine whether there are embedded derivative instruments, including embedded conversion options, which are required to be bifurcated and accounted for separately as derivative financial instruments. In circumstances where the host instrument contains more than one embedded derivative instrument, including the conversion option, that is required to be bifurcated, the bifurcated derivative instruments are accounted for as a single, compound derivative instrument.

Bifurcated embedded derivatives are initially recorded at fair value and are then revalued at each reporting date with changes in the fair value reported as

non-operating

income or expense. When the equity or convertible debt instruments contain embedded derivative instruments that are to be bifurcated and accounted for as liabilities, the total proceeds received are first allocated to the fair value of all the bifurcated derivative instruments. The remaining proceeds, if any, are then allocated to the host instruments themselves, usually resulting in those instruments being recorded at a discount from their face value. The discount from the face value of the convertible debt, together with the stated interest on the instrument, is amortized over the life of the instrument through periodic charges to interest expense.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

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

NOTE 3 — INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

Pursuant to the Initial Public Offering, the Company sold 50,000,000 Units, at a purchase price of $10.00 per Unit, which includes the partial exercise by the underwriters of their option to purchase an additional 5,000,000 Units at $10.00 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one share of Class A common stock and

one-fourth

of one redeemable warrant (“Public Warrant”). Each whole Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Class A common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment (see Note 8). The remaining 1,750,000 shares of the over-allotment option was forfeited on the day of the partial exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment.

NOTE 4 — PRIVATE PLACEMENT

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 11,000,000 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, for an aggregate purchase price of $11,000,000. Each Private Placement Warrant is exercisable to purchase one share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share. The proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants were added to the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Window, the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants will be used to fund the redemption of the Public Shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law) and the Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to the Private Placement Warrants (see Note 8).

NOTE 5 — RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Founder Shares

On May 13, 2020, the Sponsor purchased 8,625,000 shares of the Company’s Class B common stock for an aggregate price of $25,000 (the “Founder Shares” or, individually, a “Founder Share”). On October 19, 2020, the Company effected a stock dividend of

one-third

of one Founder Share for each outstanding Founder Share and on December 15, 2020, the Company effected a dividend of 0.125 of one Founder Share for each outstanding Founder Share, resulting in 12,937,500 Founder Shares being issued and outstanding. All share and

per-share

amounts have been retroactively adjusted to reflect in the share capitalizations. The Founder Shares included an aggregate of up to 1,687,500 shares that were subject to forfeiture depending on the extent to which the underwriters’ over-allotment option was exercised, so that the number of Founder Shares would equal, on an

as-converted

basis, approximately twenty percent (20%) of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock after the completion of the Initial Public Offering. In connection with the underwriters’ partial exercise of the over-allotment option and the forfeiture of the remaining over-allotment option, 437,500 Founder Shares were forfeited and 1,250,000 Founder Shares are no longer subject to forfeiture resulting in an aggregate of 12,500,000 Founder Shares outstanding at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

The Sponsor has agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of its Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of: (A) one (1) year after the completion of a Business Combination and (B) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, stock exchange, reorganization or similar transaction after a Business Combination that results in all of the Company’s stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the closing price of the Class A common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any twenty (20) trading days within any thirty (30)-trading day period commencing at least

one-hundred-fifty

(150) days after a Business Combination, the Founder Shares will be released from the

lock-up.

Administrative Services Agreement

The Company has agreed, commencing on December 18, 2020 through the earlier of the Company’s consummation of a Business Combination and its liquidation, to pay an affiliate of the Sponsor a total of $30,000 per month for office space and administrative and support services. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company incurred and accrued $90,000 and $180,000 in fees for these services. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company incurred and accrued $90,000 and $180,000 in administrative services fees.

On November 16, 2021, the Company amended the terms of the administrative services agreement between the Company and an affiliate of the Sponsor (the “Amendment”) to reflect that, effective January 1, 2022, the $30,000 monthly payments from the Company to an affiliate of the Sponsor will accrue as a contingent liability, payable upon completion of an initial Business Combination.

Advisory Fee

The Company may engage M. Klein and Company, LLC, an affiliate of the Sponsor, or another affiliate of the Sponsor, as its lead financial advisor in connection with a Business Combination and may pay such affiliate a customary financial advisory fee in an amount that constitutes a market standard financial advisory fee for comparable transactions. There were no fees incurred for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

Related Party Loans

Working Capital Loans

In order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor, an affiliate of the Sponsor or the Company’s directors and officers may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (the “Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company would repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans, but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. Except for the foregoing, the terms of such Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. The Working Capital Loans would either be repaid upon consummation of a Business Combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $1,500,000 of the Working Capital Loans may be convertible into warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, $1,500,000 and $1,000,000 had been borrowed as described below.

charge over the term of the Convertible Promissory Note, which was assumed to mature in August 2022, the Company’s expected Business Combination date. The Company does not have an estimate as to when the Business Combination will occur, the debt discount has been amortized using the initial estimate of August 2022. There was no remaining balance of the debt discount as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The conversion option had no value as of the February 2, 2023 $500,000

draw and March 31, 2023 measurement. As such, no debt discount was recorded.

(UNAUDITED)

On November 16, 2021, the Company entered into a promissory note (the “Promissory Note”), bearing interest of 1.0% per annum with the sponsor, pursuant to which the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company up to an aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000. Any borrowed amounts against the Promissory Note are due upon a successful Business Combination or SPAC dissolution, if funds are available. As of this filing, there is $1,000,000 available for withdrawal under the Promissory Note.

Extension Promissory Note

On March 7, 2023, the Sponsor agreed to make monthly deposits directly to the Trust Account in the amount of $250,000 following the approval and implementation of the Extension Amendment Proposal. Such

contributions

will be made pursuant to

the Extension Promissory Note issued by the Company to the Sponsor. The Extension Promissory Note provides up to $2,250,000. The Extension Promissory Note is due at the completion of a Business Combination. Contributions are paid monthly beginning on March 17, 2023 until the earliest to occur of (i) the consummation of the Business Combination, (ii) December 17, 2023 and (iii) if a Business Combination is not consummated, the date of liquidation of the Trust Account, as determined in the sole discretion of our board of directors. The Extension Promissory Note will mature on the earlier of (1) the date we consummate a Business Combination and (2) the date that the winding up of the Company is effective. As of June 30, 2023, the Extension Promissory Note had a balance of $1,000,000 with $1,250,000 available for withdrawal.

NOTE 6 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Registration Rights

Pursuant to a registration rights agreement entered into on December 18, 2020 (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), the holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans (and any shares of Class A common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants or warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans and upon conversion of the Founder Shares) will be entitled to registration rights requiring the Company to register such securities for resale (in the case of the Founder Shares, only after conversion into shares of Class A common stock). The holders of these securities will be entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form registration demands, that the Company register such securities. In addition, the holders of these securities have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of a Business Combination and rights to require the Company to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements. There are no penalty provisions for the registration rights and therefore there is no liability to be accounted for.

Underwriting Agreement

The Company granted the underwriters a

forty-five

(45)

day

option from the date of Initial Public Offering to purchase up to 6,750,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments, if any, at the Initial Public Offering price less the underwriting discounts and commissions. The underwriters partially exercised the over-allotment option to purchase an additional 5,000,000 Public Shares. The remaining 1,750,000 Public Shares from the over-allotment option was forfeited at the time of the partial exercise. The underwriters waived the upfront underwriting discount on 5,250,000 Units, resulting in a reduction of the upfront underwriting discount of $1,050,000. The remaining 1,750,000 shares of the over-allotment option was forfeited on the day of the partial exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment.

The underwriters are entitled to a deferred fee of $0.35 per Unit, or $17,500,000 in the aggregate. The deferred fee will be waived by the underwriters in the event that the Company does not complete a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

Excise Tax

In connection with the vote to approve the Charter Amendment, holders of 35,223,748 shares of Class A Common Stock properly exercised their right to redeem their shares of Class A Common Stock for an aggregate redemption amount of $354,882,716. As such, the Company has recorded a 1% excise tax liability in the amount of $3,548,827 on the condensed balance sheets as of June 30, 2023. The liability does not impact the condensed statements of operations and is offset against additional

paid-in

capital or accumulated deficit if additional

paid-in

capital is not available. This excise tax liability can be offset within the same taxable year which will be evaluated and adjusted in the period in which the issuances occur.

Fairness of Opinion and Advisory Agreement

On February 7, 2023, the Company entered into an engagement letter with a third party (“provider”) to provide financial advisory services in connection with a possible Business Combination (“transaction”). The fee for such financial advisory services is $150,000, of which $100,000 will be contingent on and payable at the closing of a transaction (if any). A fee of $50,000 was due upon entering into the engagement letter and is included in accrued expenses on the Company’s condensed balance sheets as of June 30, 2023.

In addition to providing financial advisory services, the provider will provide the Board of Directors of the Company an opinion as to whether the consideration to be received in a potential transaction by holders of Class A Common Stock of the Company is fair, from a financial point of view, to such holders. The fee for any such opinion is $200,000, which shall be paid when the provider notifies the Company that it is prepared to render the opinion. The Company has also agreed to reimburse the provider for its expenses incurred in performing its services. The Company has also agreed to indemnify the provider and its officers, directors, principals, employees, shareholders, affiliates and members, against certain liabilities, including liabilities under federal securities law, and certain expenses related to or arising out of the provider’s engagement.

This agreement replaces the engagement letter entered into on June 9, 2022, that was previously disclosed.

Advisory Services Agreement

On March 8, 2023, the Company entered into a non exclusive financial advisory agreement with a provider. The provider will provide financial and market related advice to the company. The fee for these services will be $2,000,000 and are fully contingent and only payable upon a successful Business Combination.

Due Diligence and Legal Fees

As of June 30, 2023, the Company, contingent upon the consummation of an initial Business Combination, will be required to pay due diligence and legal fees in the amount of $11,450,000. This was reduced from the three months ended March 31, 2023 balance of $

13,780,000

due to a reduction in fees from the vendor. These contingent fees are not reflected on the condensed balance sheets.

As of June 30, 2023, the Company, upon the consummation of an initial Business Combination will be required to pay legal fees in the amount of $635,000. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company incurred legal fees of $35,000

. For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company incurred legal fees of $155,000. These fees are reflected on the Company’s condensed balance sheets in accrued expenses and on the condensed statements of operations in formation and operating costs.

— The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share with such designations, voting and other rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Company’s board of directors. At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were no shares of preferred stock issued or outstanding.

Class

A Common Stock

— The Company is authorized to issue 400,000,000 shares of Class A common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Holders of Class A common stock are entitled to one vote for each share. At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were 14,776,252 and 50,000,000 shares of Class A common stock issued and outstanding, respectively, including Class A common stock subject to possible redemption which are presented as temporary equity.

CHURCHILL CAPITAL CORP V

(UNAUDITED)

Holders of Class B common stock will have the right to elect all of the Company’s directors prior to a Business Combination. Holders of Class A common stock and Class B common stock will vote together as a single class on all other matters submitted to a vote of stockholders except as required by law.

The shares of Class B common stock will automatically convert into shares of Class A common stock at the time of the completion of a Business Combination on a

one-for-one

basis, subject to adjustment. In the case that additional shares of Class A common stock, or equity-linked securities, are issued or deemed issued in excess of the amounts offered in the Initial Public Offering and related to the closing of a Business Combination, the ratio at which shares of Class B common stock shall convert into shares of Class A common stock will be adjusted (unless the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class B common stock agree to waive such adjustment with respect to any such issuance or deemed issuance) so that the number of shares of Class A common stock issuable upon conversion of all shares of Class B common stock will equal, in the aggregate, on an

as-converted

basis, 20% of the sum of the total number of all shares of common stock outstanding upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering plus all shares of Class A common stock and equity-linked securities issued or deemed issued in connection with a Business Combination (net of the number of shares of Class A common stock redeemed in connection with a Business Combination), excluding any shares or equity-linked securities issued, or to be issued, to any seller in a Business Combination, any private placement-equivalent warrants issued, or to be issued, to any seller in a Business Combination.

NOTE 8 — WARRANTS

The Company follows the guidance in ASC 820 and accounts the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants as liabilities that are

re-measured

and reported at fair value at each reporting period.

As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 there were 12,500,000 Public Warrants outstanding. The Public Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares. No fractional Warrants will be issued upon separation of the Units and only whole Warrants will trade. The Public Warrants will become exercisable on the later of (a) thirty (30) days after the completion of a Business Combination or (b) twelve (12) months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering. The Public Warrants will expire five (5) years after the completion of a Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

The Company will not be obligated to deliver any shares of Class A common stock pursuant to the exercise of a Warrant and will have no obligation to settle such exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the issuance of the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants is then effective and a current prospectus relating to those shares of the Class A common stock is available, subject to the Company satisfying its obligations with respect to registration. No Warrant will be exercisable for cash or on a cashless basis, and the Company will not be obligated to issue any shares to holders seeking to exercise their warrants, unless the issuance of the shares upon such exercise is registered or qualified under the securities laws of the state of the exercising holder, or an exemption from registration is available.

The Company has agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15 business days after the closing of a Business Combination, the Company will use its best efforts to file with the SEC, and within 60 business days following a Business Combination to have declared effective, a registration statement covering the issuance of the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants and to maintain a current prospectus relating to those shares of Class A common stock until the Warrants expire or are redeemed.

Notwithstanding the above, if the Class A common stock is at the time of any exercise of a Warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that it satisfies the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, the Company may, at its option, require holders of the Warrants who exercise their Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event the Company so elects, the Company will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, but will use its reasonable best efforts to qualify the shares of Class A common stock under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available.

Once the Public Warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the Public Warrants:

•

in whole and not in part;

•

at a price of $0.01 per Public Warrant;

•

upon not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of redemption;

•

if, and only if, the reported last sale price of the Company’s common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share for any twenty (20)-trading days within a thirty (30)-trading day period ending on the third business day prior to the notice of redemption to the Public Warrant holders; and

•

if, and only if, there is a current registration statement in effect with respect to the shares of common stock underlying the Warrants.

Table of Contents

CHURCHILL CAPITAL CORP V

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2023

(UNAUDITED)

If and when the Public Warrants become redeemable by the Company, the Company may exercise its redemption right even if it is unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws.

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. The exercise price and number of shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a stock dividend, or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, the Public Warrants will not be adjusted for issuance of Class A common stock at a price below its exercise price. Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the Public Warrants. If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Window and the Company liquidates the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of Public Warrants will not receive any of such funds with respect to their Public Warrants, nor will they receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with the respect to such Public Warrants. Accordingly, the Public Warrants may expire worthless.

As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 there were 11,000,000 Private Placement Warrants outstanding. The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants underlying the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering, except that the Private Placement Warrants and the Class A common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants will not be transferable, assignable or salable until thirty (30) days after the completion of a Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions. Additionally, the Private Placement Warrants will be exercisable on a cashless basis and be

non-redeemable

so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by someone other than the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants.

NOTE 9 — FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Company follows the guidance in ASC 820 for its financial assets and liabilities that are

re-measured

and reported at fair value at each reporting period, and

non-financial

assets and liabilities that are

re-measured

and reported at fair value at least annually.

The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities reflects management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities:


		Level		1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

		Level		2: Observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs. Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.

		Level		3: Unobservable inputs based on our assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

The following table presents information about the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value:


Description	Level		June 30, 2023		Level		December 31, 2022
Liabilities:
Warrant liabilities – Public Warrants		1		2,250,000		1		1,000,000
Warrant liabilities – Private Placement Warrants		2		1,980,000		2		880,000
Convertible Option Liability		3		—		3		—

The Warrants were accounted for as liabilities in accordance with ASC

815-40

and are measured at fair value at inception and on a recurring basis, with changes in fair value recorded in the condensed statements of operations.

JUNE 30, 2023

(UNAUDITED)

The Public and Private Warrants were valued as of December 18, 2020 using a Monte Carlo simulation model and a Modified Black Scholes model, respectively, which is considered to be a Level 3 fair value measurement. The Monte Carlo simulation and the Modified Black-Scholes models’ primary unobservable input utilized in determining the fair value of the Public and Private Warrants is the probability of consummation of the Business Combination. The probability assigned to the consummation of the Business Combination was 80% which was estimated based on the observed success rates of business combinations for special purpose acquisition companies. The subsequent measurements of the Public Warrants after the detachment of the Public Warrants from the Units is classified as Level 1 due to the use of an observable market quote in an active market under the ticker CCV WS. For subsequent measurements of the Private Warrants after detachment a Modified Black Scholes Option Pricing model was used. The Modified Black Scholes model’s primary unobservable input utilized in determining the fair value of the Private Placement Warrants is the expected volatility of the common stock. The expected volatility was implied from the Company’s own Public Warrant pricing. Other key assumptions used in connection with the Modified Black Scholes model were expected life, risk free rate, and dividend yield, which were based on market conditions, management assumptions, and terms of the warrant agreement.

At issuance, the estimated fair value of the Private Placement Warrants and the estimated fair value of the Public Warrants was determined by a Monte Carlo simulation. For the measurement at December 31, 2022, the Private Placement Warrants were considered a Level 2, as the Private Placement Warrants are being valued using the associated observable market of the Public Warrants.

The following table presents the changes in the fair value of warrant liabilities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022:


	Private Placement			Public			Warrant Liabilities
Fair value as of December 31, 2022	$	880,000		$	1,000,000		$	1,880,000
Change in valuation inputs or other assumptions		1,210,000			1,375,000			2,585,000

Fair value as of June 30, 2022	$	3,630,000		$	4,125,000		$	7,755,000

The conversion option liability of the Convertible Promissory Note was valued using a Compound Option model which values each borrowing at borrowing date and is revalued at each subsequent reporting date. The Compound Option model’s primary unobservable input utilized in determining the fair value of the conversion option liability is the expected volatility of the common stock. The expected volatility was implied from the Company’s own Public Warrant pricing. Other key assumptions used in connection with the Compound Option model were holding period, risk free rate, dividend yield, exercise price, and underlying warrant value, which were based on market conditions, management assumptions, and terms of the Convertible Promissory Note (see Note 5).

Overview

We are a blank check company formed under the laws of the State of Delaware for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities. We intend to effectuate our Business Combination using cash from the proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, our capital stock, debt or a combination of cash, stock and debt.

We expect to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our acquisition plans. We cannot assure you that our plans to complete a Business Combination will be successful.

Results of Operations

We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities through June 30, 2023 were organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for the Initial Public Offering, described below, and identifying a target for our Business Combination. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our Business Combination. We generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account. We incur expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses.

For the three months ended June 30, 2023, we had net income of $981,398, which consists of a interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $1,812,894 and change in the fair value of warrant liabilities of $235,000, offset by provision for income taxes of $463,211 and operating costs of $603,285.

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, we had net loss of $2,020,420, which consists of a change in the fair value of warrant liabilities of $2,350,000, provision for income taxes of $858,066 and operating costs of $2,177,201, offset by interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $3,364,847.

For the three months ended June 30, 2022, we had net income of $6,438,664, which consists of a change in the fair value of warrant liabilities of $6,580,000, interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $720,560 and change in fair value of conversion option liability of $6,700, offset by operating costs of $615,869, unrealized loss on marketable securities held in Trust Account of $104,469, provision for income taxes of $96,307 and interest expense of $51,951.

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, we had net income of $14,589,566, which consists of a change in the fair value of warrant liabilities of $15,385,000, interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $868,369 and change in fair value of conversion option liability of $145,441, offset by operating costs of $1,497,609, unrealized loss on marketable securities held in Trust Account of $111,426, provision for income taxes of $96,307 and interest expense of $103,902.

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Going Concern

On December 18, 2020, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 50,000,000 Units at a price of $10.00 per Unit, which includes the partial exercise by the underwriters of the over-allotment option, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $500,000,000.

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the sale of 11,000,000 Private Placement Warrants to the Sponsor at a price of $1.00 per warrant, generating gross proceeds of $11,000,000.

Following the Initial Public Offering, the partial exercise of the over-allotment option and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, a total of $500,000,000 was placed in the Trust Account. We incurred $26,982,949 in transaction costs, including $8,950,000 of underwriting fees, net of $1,050,000 reimbursed from the underwriters, $17,500,000 of deferred underwriting fees and $532,949 of other costs.

On March 14, 2023, the stockholders of the Company approved a proposal to adopt an amendment, which is described in more detail in the definitive proxy statement of the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 21, 2023, to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a Business Combination (the “Extension”) from March 18, 2023 to December 18, 2023 (or such earlier date as determined by the Company’s board of directors) (the “Charter Amendment”). The Charter Amendment was filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on March 15, 2023. In connection with the Extension, 35,223,748 shares of Class A Common Stock were redeemed, resulting in the payment of $354,882,716 from the Trust Account.

As of June 30, 2023, we had cash and marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $151,842,854 consisting of cash. Interest income on the balance in the Trust Account may be used by us to pay taxes. As of June 30, 2023, the Company has withdrawn $470,000 of the $1,000,000 2023 available annual limit; $530,000 remains available for withdrawal for working capital purposes.

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, cash used in operating activities was $3,218,513. Net loss of $2,020,420 was affected by change in the fair value of warrant liabilities of $2,350,000 and interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $3,364,847. Changes in operating assets and liabilities used $183,246 of cash for operating activities.

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, cash used in operating activities was $617,797. Net income of $14,589,566 was affected by change in the fair value of warrant liabilities of $15,385,000, interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $868,369, change in fair value of conversion option liability of $145,441, unrealized loss on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $111,426, and amortization of debt discount of $103,902. Changes in operating assets and liabilities provided $976,119 of cash for operating activities.

In December 2022, we instructed the trustee with respect to the Trust Account to redeem the marketable securities held in the Trust Account and thereafter to hold all funds in the Trust Account in cash. As a result, we will continue to receive interest on the funds held in the Trust Account. We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account (less deferred underwriting commissions and income taxes payable), to complete our Business Combination. To the extent that our capital stock or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete our Business Combination, the remaining proceeds held in the Trust Account will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business or businesses, make other acquisitions and pursue our growth strategies.

To mitigate the risk of being viewed as operating an unregistered investment company (including pursuant to the subjective test of Section 3(a)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act of 1940), all funds in the trust account are held and will be held in cash (which may include demand deposit accounts) until the earlier of consummation of our initial business combination or liquidation. As a result, we will continue to receive interest on the funds held in the Trust Account.

In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the initial stockholders or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. If we complete a Business Combination, we would repay such loaned amounts. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from our Trust Account would be used for such repayment. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into warrants identical to the Private Placement Warrants, at a price of $1.00 per warrant at the option of the lender. As of June 30, 2023, the outstanding principal balance under the Convertible Promissory Note amounted to an aggregate of $1,500,000, with no amounts available for withdrawal.

On November 16, 2021, the Company entered into the Promissory Note, bearing interest of 1.0% per annum with the sponsor, pursuant to which the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company up to an aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000. Any borrowed amounts against the Promissory Note are due upon a successful Business Combination or SPAC dissolution, if funds are available. Such loaned amounts would be repaid using proceeds from the trust as part of the closing of the Business Combination As of this filing, there is $1,000,000 available for withdrawal under the Promissory Note.

Additionally, to fund working capital the Company has permitted withdrawals available up to an annual limit of $1,000,000. The Company may withdraw additional funds to pay income tax and franchise tax obligations. These permitted withdrawals are limited to only the interest available that has been earned in excess of the initial deposit at the Initial Public Offering. As of June 30, 2023, the Company has withdrawn $470,000 of the $1,000,000 2023 available annual limit; $530,000 remains available for withdrawal for working capital purposes. As of December 31, 2022, all of the 2022 $1,000,000 annual working capital was withdrawn.

On March 7, 2023, the Sponsor agreed to make monthly deposits directly to the Trust Account of the Company in the amount of $250,000 following the approval and implementation of the Extension Amendment Proposal. Such contributions will be made pursuant to the Extension Promissory Note issued by the Company to the Sponsor. The Extension Promissory Note provides up to $2,250,000 and is non-interest bearing. Contributions will be paid monthly beginning on March 17, 2023 until the earliest to occur of (i) the consummation of the Business Combination, (ii) November 17, 2023 and (iii) if a Business Combination is not consummated, the date of liquidation of the Trust Account, as determined in the sole discretion of our board of directors. The Extension Promissory Note will mature on the earlier of (1) the date we consummate a Business Combination and (2) the date that the winding up of the Company is effective. As of June 30, 2023, the Extension Promissory Note had a balance of $1,000,000 with $1,250,000 available for withdrawal.

In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with ASC Subtopic 205-40, Presentation of Financial Statements-Going Concern, the Company has until December 18, 2023 (or such earlier date as determined by the board of directors) to consummate a Business Combination. Management currently has no plans at this time to extend beyond the December 18, 2023 liquidation date and it is uncertain that the Company will be able to negotiate a definitive agreement for a Business Combination and consummate a Business Combination by this time. If a Business Combination is not consummated by this date, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution of the Company. Management has determined that the potential mandatory liquidation and 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 18, 2023 or such earlier date as determined by the board of directors. The Company intends to complete a Business Combination by December 18, 2023.

Off-Balance Sheet Financing Arrangements

We have no obligations, assets or liabilities, which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of June 30, 2023. We do not participate in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements. We have not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or purchased any non-financial assets.

Contractual Obligations

We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities, other than an agreement to pay an affiliate of the Sponsor a monthly fee of $30,000 for office space and administrative support to the Company and related party promissory notes. We began incurring these fees on December 18, 2020 and will continue to incur these fees monthly until the earlier of the completion of the initial Business Combination and the Company’s liquidation.

On November 16, 2021, the Company amended the terms of the administrative services agreement between the Company and an affiliate of the sponsor to reflect that, effective January 1, 2022, the $30,000 monthly payments from the Company to an affiliate of the sponsor will accrue as a contingent liability, payable upon completion of an initial Business Combination.

The underwriters are entitled to a deferred fee of $0.35 per Unit, or $17,500,000 in the aggregate. The deferred fee will be waived by the underwriters in the event that we do not complete an initial Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

Critical Accounting Policies

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

Class A Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption

We account for our Class A common stock subject to possible conversion in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Shares of Class A common stock subject to mandatory redemption is classified as a liability instrument and measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including common stock that features redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within our control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, common stock is classified as stockholders’ equity. Our Class A common stock features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of our control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, Class A common stock subject to possible redemption is presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ deficit section of our condensed balance sheets.

Warrant Liabilities

The Company accounts for the Warrants in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815-40-15-7D and 7F under which the Warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment and must be recorded as liabilities. Accordingly, the Company classifies the Warrants as liabilities at their fair value and adjusts the Warrants to fair value at each reporting period. This liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in our statements of operations. The Public Warrants and the Private Placement Warrants for periods where no observable traded price was available are valued using a Monte Carlo simulation and a modified Black Scholes model, respectively. For periods subsequent to the detachment of the Public Warrants from the Units, the Public Warrant quoted market price was used as the fair value as of each relevant date.

Net Income (Loss) Per Share of Common Stock

Net income (loss) per share of common stock is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of share of common stock outstanding during the period. We apply the two-class method in calculating income (loss) per share of common stock. Remeasurement adjustment associated with the redeemable shares of Class A common stock is excluded from net income (loss) per share of common stock as the redemption value approximates fair value. The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of Financial Accounting Standards Board ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share.”

Recent Accounting Standards

The Company’s management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on our condensed financial statements.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the unaudited condensed financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the unaudited condensed financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.

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 unaudited condensed financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. One of the more significant accounting estimates included in these unaudited condensed financial statements is the determination of the fair value of the warrant liabilities. Such estimates may be subject to change as more current information becomes available and, accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

Offering Costs

The Company complies with the requirements of ASC340-10-S99-1 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5A – “Expenses of Offering”. Offering costs consist of underwriting, legal, accounting and other expenses incurred through the Initial Public Offering that are directly related to the Initial Public Offering. Offering costs are allocated to the separable financial instruments issued in the Initial Public Offering based on a relative fair value basis, compared to total proceeds received. Offering costs associated with derivative warrant liabilities are expensed as incurred and presented as non-operating expenses. Offering costs amounted to $26,982,949, of which $26,303,933 were charged to stockholders’ deficit upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering and $679,016 were charged to operations.

Convertible Debt

Bifurcated embedded derivatives are initially recorded at fair value and are then revalued at each reporting date with changes in the fair value reported as non-operating income or expense. When the equity or convertible debt instruments contain embedded derivative instruments that are to be bifurcated and accounted for as liabilities, the total proceeds received are first allocated to the fair value of all the bifurcated derivative instruments. The remaining proceeds, if any, are then allocated to the host instruments themselves, usually resulting in those instruments being recorded at a discount from their face value. The discount from the face value of the convertible debt, together with the stated interest on the instrument, is amortized over the life of the instrument through periodic charges to interest expense.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Not required for smaller reporting companies.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

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

As required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2023. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

None

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in this Quarterly Report are any of the risks described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on April 4, 2023 with the SEC. 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, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in the Annual Report on Form 10-K.

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

On December 18, 2020, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 50,000,000 Units. The Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per unit, generating total gross proceeds of $500,000,000. Citigroup Global Markets Inc. acted as joint bookrunner and representative of the underwriters and each of Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and B of A Securities, Inc. acted as joint bookrunner of the offering. The securities in the offering were registered under the Securities Act on registration statement on Form S-1 (No. 333-248972). The Securities and Exchange Commission declared the registration statement effective on December 15, 2020.

Simultaneous with the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 11,000,000 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant in a private placement to Churchill Sponsor V LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”), generating gross proceeds of $11,000,000. Each whole Private Warrant is exercisable to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share. The issuance was made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

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

Following the Initial Public Offering, the partial exercise of the over-allotment option and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, a total of $500,000,000 was placed in the Trust Account. On March 14, 2023, the stockholders of the Company approved the Charter Amendment. The Charter Amendment was filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and 35,223,748 shares of Class A Common Stock were redeemed, resulting in the payment of approximately $354.9 million from the Trust Account.

We incurred $26,982,949 in transaction costs, including $8,950,000 of underwriting fees, net of $1,050,000 reimbursed from the underwriters, $17,500,000 of deferred underwriting fees and $532,949 of other costs.

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