Altus Power, Inc. - Quarter Report: 2021 September (Form 10-Q)

NOTE 1—DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS

Organization and General

CBRE Acquisition Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated as a Delaware corporation on October 13, 2020. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (a “Business Combination”).

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”).

On October 13, 2020, the Company was funded by its Sponsor (as defined below) in the amount of $25,100, purchasing 100 undesignated shares of common stock for $100 and advancing $25,000 in exchange for a promissory note. The registration statement for the Company’s initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering”) was declared effective on December 10, 2020. On December 15, 2020, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering (as described below). As of September 30, 2021, the Company had neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. The Company will not generate operating revenues prior to the completion of its Business Combination and will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on permitted investments from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering. See “The Trust Account” below. The Company has selected December 31st as its fiscal year end.

On July 12, 2021, the Company entered into a Business Combination Agreement (as defined below), as discussed below.

Sponsor

The Company’s sponsor is CBRE Acquisition Sponsor, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”). On November 6, 2020, the Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 2,300,000 shares of Class B common stock (“Class B common stock” or “Alignment Shares”) for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000, or approximately $0.01 per share, paid through the cancellation of an equivalent outstanding amount under the promissory note between the Company and the Sponsor, and the tender to the Company of all 100 shares of the Company’s undesignated common stock held by the Sponsor. On November 27, 2020, 287,500 shares of Class B common stock were forfeited by the Sponsor. In connection with the Initial Public Offering, the Company amended and restated its certificate of incorporation to reclassify its Class B common stock. See “Note 3—Initial Public Offering—Alignment Shares” below. In connection with the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor sold an aggregate of 201,250 Alignment Shares to certain of the Company’s directors, or their respective designees, and an officer of the Company.

Initial Public Offering

The Company intends to finance a Business Combination, in part, with proceeds of $402,500,000 from the Initial Public Offering of 40,250,000 SAILSM securities (including the full exercise of the underwriter’s over-allotment option) consisting of one share of Class A common stock, $0.0001 par value, of the Company (“Class A common stock”) and one-fourth of one warrant and approximately $11,050,000 from the sale of 7,366,667 Private Placement Warrants (as defined below) at $1.50 per warrant. Approximately $402,500,000 was held in a Trust Account (as defined below) as of the closing of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of Private Placement Warrants. The underwriter’s over-allotment option, which was exercised in full by the underwriter on December 11, 2020, included 5,250,000 SAILSM securities consisting of 5,250,000 shares of Class A common stock and 1,312,500 warrants which were issued to cover over-allotments.

As of February 1, 2021, holders of the Company’s SAILSM securities have the right to elect to separately trade the shares of Class A common stock and warrants included in the SAILSM securities. Any SAILSM securities not separated will continue to trade on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the symbol “CBAH.U,” and any underlying shares of Class A common stock and warrants that are separated will trade on NYSE under the symbols “CBAH” and “CBAH WS,” respectively. No fractional warrants will be issued upon separation of the SAILSM securities and only whole warrants will trade. The SAILSM securities will separate, without further action by the holders, at the closing of the Business Combination.

The Trust Account

Of the $413,550,000 in proceeds from the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, $402,500,000 was deposited in an interest-bearing U.S. based trust account (“Trust Account”). The funds in the Trust Account will be invested only in specified U.S. government treasury bills with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations (collectively “permitted investments”).

6

Funds will remain in the Trust Account except for the withdrawal of interest earned on the funds that may be released to the Company to pay taxes. The proceeds from the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants will not be released from the Trust Account until the earliest of (i) the completion of a Business Combination, (ii) the redemption of any public shares properly submitted in connection with a stockholder vote to amend the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation (A) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with the Company’s Business Combination or to redeem 100% of the public shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination within 24 months (or 27 months from the consummation of the Initial Public Offering if the Company has executed a letter of intent, agreement in principle or definitive agreement for a Business Combination within 24 months from the consummation of the Initial Public Offering but has not completed the Business Combination within such 24-month period) from the closing of the Initial Public Offering or (B) with respect to other specified provisions relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-Business Combination activity, and (iii) the redemption of all of the Company’s public shares if it has not completed a Business Combination within 24 months (or 27 months, as applicable) from the closing of the Initial Public Offering, subject to applicable law.

The remaining proceeds outside the Trust Account may be used to pay business, legal and accounting due diligence costs on prospective acquisitions, listing fees and continuing general and administrative expenses.

Business Combination

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering, although substantially all of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering are intended to be generally applied toward consummating a Business Combination with (or acquisition of) a target business. As used herein, a Business Combination must be with one or more target businesses that together have an aggregate fair market value equal to at least 80% of the balance in the Trust Account (less any deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on interest earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the Company signing a definitive agreement.

Having signed a definitive agreement for a Business Combination, the Company will provide the public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their shares of Class A common stock in connection with a stockholder meeting to approve the Business Combination. Each public stockholder may elect to redeem their public shares irrespective of whether they vote for or against the Business Combination at a per share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay taxes, divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, subject to the limitations described herein. The amount in the Trust Account is initially anticipated to be approximately $10.00 per public share. The per-share amount the Company will distribute to investors who properly redeem their shares will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting commissions payable to the underwriter. The Company will complete its Business Combination only if a majority of the outstanding shares of Class A common stock voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination (or, if the applicable rules of the NYSE then in effect require, a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock held by public stockholders are voted in favor of the business transaction). However, in no event will the Company redeem its public shares in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001, after payment of the deferred underwriting commission (the “Redemption Floor”). In such an instance, the Company would not proceed with the redemption of its public shares and the related Business Combination, and instead may search for an alternate Business Combination.

The Company has 24 months from the closing date of the Initial Public Offering to complete its Business Combination (or 27 months, as applicable). If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within this period, it shall (i) cease all operations except for the purposes of winding up; (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, subject to lawfully available funds therefore, redeem the public shares, at a per share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its taxes (and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses) divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining stockholders and the 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. The Sponsor and the Company’s officers and directors have entered into a letter agreement with the Company, pursuant to which they will waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their Alignment Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering (or 27 months, as applicable). However, if the Sponsor and the Company’s officers and directors acquire public shares after the Initial Public Offering, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Accounjuly 12t with respect to such public shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the allotted 24 month period (or 27 month period, as applicable).

The underwriter has agreed to waive its rights to any deferred underwriting commission held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination and those amounts will be included with the funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the Company’s public shares.

If the Company fails to complete a Business Combination, the redemption of the Company’s public shares will reduce the book value of the shares held by the Sponsor and the Company’s directors and officers, who will be the only remaining stockholders after such redemptions.

When the Company holds a stockholder vote in connection with a Business Combination, a public stockholder will have the right to redeem its shares for an amount in cash equal to its pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay taxes, subject to the Redemption Floor. As a result, such shares have been recorded at their redemption amount and classified as temporary equity in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” (ASC 480).

Business Combination Agreement
 

On July 12, 2021, the Company entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”) by and among CBAH, CBAH Merger Sub I, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“First Merger Sub”), CBAH Merger Sub II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Second Merger Sub”), Altus Power America Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Altus Power Holdings”), APAM Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Altus Management Holdings”) and Altus Power, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Altus”). Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, CBAH will acquire Altus and CBAH will be renamed as “Altus Power, Inc.”
 

Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, at the closing of the transactions contemplated therein, First Merger Sub will merge with and into Altus, and the company surviving that merger will merge with and into Second Merger Sub and, as a result of such mergers, the holders of common stock of Altus will be entitled to receive, in the aggregate, $900 million of CBAH’s Class A common stock (valued at $10 per share). All issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Altus are currently held by Altus Power Holdings, and prior to the closing such shares would be distributed to holders of equity interests in Altus Power Holdings (including Altus Management Holdings) and Altus Management Holdings will distribute the shares it receives to the equity holders of Altus Management Holdings. In addition, at the closing, each share of preferred stock of Altus issued and outstanding immediately prior to such merger will be redeemed. Such redemption is expected to require approximately $275 million, assuming no additional preferred equity is issued prior to the closing. Altus is permitted to issue additional preferred stock subject to certain restrictions in the Business Combination Agreement.

The Business Combination Agreement contains certain termination rights for CBAH and Altus, including the right of either party to terminate the agreement if the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement have not occurred by March 31, 2022 (subject to certain exceptions) or if CBAH has not obtained the required approvals from its stockholders.
 

PIPE Subscription Agreements
 

Concurrently with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, the Company has entered into separate subscription agreements (collectively, the “PIPE Subscription Agreements”), dated July 12, 2021, with certain investors, pursuant to which the Company has agreed to issue and sell, in private placements to close contemporaneously with, but immediately prior to, the Business Combination, an aggregate of 27.5 million shares of Class A common stock (the “PIPE Shares”), for a purchase price of $10.00 per share and an aggregate purchase price of $275.0 million (the “PIPE Investment”). The purchase of the PIPE Shares is conditioned upon, and will be consummated concurrently with, the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement. Pursuant to its PIPE Subscription Agreement, the Sponsor has committed to purchase shares of the Company’s Class A common stock in an aggregate amount of $70.0 million, with a commitment to purchase additional shares of the Company’s Class A common stock in an aggregate amount of up to $150.0 million to the extent of the amount of redemptions of shares of the Company’s Class A common stock submitted for redemption by public stockholders in connection with the closing. The Company's Chief Executive Officer and Director, William Concannon has also committed to purchase shares of the Company's Class A common stock in an aggregate amount of $1.0 million.
 

Modification of Alignment Shares
 

At the closing of the Business Combination Agreement, the Company’s certificate of incorporation will be amended and restated to be in the form attached to the Business Combination Agreement (the “PubCo Charter”), and will, among other things, provide that the shares of Class B common stock will convert into shares of Class A common stock over a seven year measurement period following the closing. Furthermore, the PubCo Charter caps the total number of shares of Class A common stock that may be issued in such conversion to 8.5% of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of Class A common stock on the closing date of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement except that if there are more than $100 million in outstanding redemptions of shares of the Company’s Class A common stock in connection therewith, the 8.5% cap in the foregoing calculation will be increased to 9.5%. Contemporaneously with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, the holders of Class B common stock will surrender 30% of the shares of Class B common stock held by such holder.
 

The fair value of the Alignment Shares was remeasured upon the agreement to the modification described above. The fair value of the Alignment Shares was reduced to approximately $110 million in connection with such modifications on July 12, 2021 (“modification date”). The Company determined that the satisfaction of the performance condition remained improbable as of the modification date. Consequently, no compensation expense was recognized at the modification date. The unrecognized compensation expense will be recognized when the performance condition becomes probable.

Going Concern Consideration

In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB’s Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” management has determined that the Company has access to additional funds from the Sponsor that are sufficient to fund the working capital needs of the Company for at least one year from the issuance of these financial statements. See “Note 4—Related Party Transactions—Sponsor Promissory Note” for further information.

NOTE 2—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and the period ended December 31, 2020, the Company did not withdraw any interest income from the Trust Account to pay its tax obligations.

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (ASC 820), approximates the carrying amounts represented in the Balance Sheet due to their short-term nature.

9

The Company incurred $22,926,943 in offering costs in connection with the Initial Public Offering. Offering costs consist of legal, accounting, underwriting fees and other costs incurred that are directly related to the Initial Public Offering. The Company complies with the requirements of ASC 340, “Other Assets and Deferred Costs” (ASC 340), and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5A “Expenses of Offering.” These offering costs were allocated between the Redeemable Warrant liability ($997,322) and Class A common stock subject to redemption ($21,929,621) in proportion to the proceeds of the Initial Public Offering.

NOTE 3—INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

Pursuant to the Initial Public Offering, the Company sold 40,250,000 SAILSM securities (including the full exercise of the underwriter’s over-allotment option) at a price of $10.00 per SAILSM security. Each SAILSM security consists of one share of Class A common stock and one-fourth of one Redeemable Warrant (or 10,062,500 Redeemable Warrants in the aggregate). Under the terms of the warrant agreement, the Company has agreed to use its commercially reasonable efforts to file a registration statement under the Securities Act following the completion of the Business Combination covering the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Redeemable Warrants. Each whole Redeemable Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.00 per share subject to adjustment as provided herein. The warrants will become exercisable on the later of 30 days after the completion of the Business Combination or 12 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering and will expire five years after the completion of the Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. Only whole warrants may be exercised and no fractional warrants will be issued upon separation of the SAILSM securities and only whole warrants will trade. The Company granted the underwriter a 45-day option to purchase up to an additional 5,250,000 SAILSM securities to cover over-allotments, which was exercised in full by the underwriter on December 11, 2020.

Alignment Shares

As of September 30, 2021, the Sponsor and the Company’s directors and officers held 2,012,500 Alignment Shares. The Alignment Shares are designated as shares of Class B common stock and were reclassified in connection with the Initial Public Offering by the Company’s second amended and restated certificate of incorporation, filed on December 10, 2020. As discussed further in Note 4, the Sponsor purchased the shares of Class B common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000 or approximately $0.01 per share. The purchase price of the Alignment Shares was determined by dividing the amount contributed to the Company by the number of Alignment Shares issued. In connection with the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor sold an aggregate of 201,250 Alignment Shares to certain of the Company’s directors, or their respective designees, and an officer of the Company. The Alignment Shares are entitled to 20% of the voting power of the Company’s common stock prior to the completion of the Company’s Business Combination.

The Alignment Shares are designated as shares of Class B common stock and are different from the shares of Class A common stock included in the SAILSM securities in several important ways, including that:

12

The term “measurement period” means (i) the period beginning on the date of the Company’s Business Combination and ending with, and including, the first fiscal quarter following the end of the fiscal year in which the Company consummates the Business Combination and (ii) each of the nine successive four-fiscal-quarter periods. The “price threshold” will initially equal $10.00 for the first measurement period and will thereafter be adjusted at the beginning of each subsequent measurement period to be equal to the greater of (i) the price threshold for the immediately preceding measurement period and (ii) the VWAP for the immediately preceding measurement period (in each case, as proportionally adjusted to give effect to any stock splits, stock capitalizations, stock combinations, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations or any such similar transactions). “Equity-Linked Securities” means securities issued by the Company and/or any entities that (after giving effect to completion of the Business Combination) are subsidiaries of the Company that are directly or indirectly convertible into or exercisable for shares of Class A common stock, or for a cash settlement value in lieu thereof. The foregoing calculations will be based on the Company’s fiscal year and fiscal quarters, which may change as a result of the Business Combination.

Upon a change of control occurring after the Business Combination (but not in connection with the Business Combination), for the measurement period in which the change of control transaction occurs, the 201,250 Alignment Shares will automatically convert into conversion shares (on the business day immediately prior to such event), as follows:

The Company’s Sponsor, directors and officers have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell (i) any of their respective Alignment Shares except to any permitted transferees and (ii) any of their respective shares of Class A common stock deliverable upon conversion of the Alignment Shares for 30 days following the completion of the Company’s Business Combination.

On July 12, 2021, the Company entered into a Business Combination Agreement and modified the terms of the Alignment Shares. See “Note 1—Description of Organization and Business Operations— Modification of Alignment Shares” for further discussion.

13

Private Placement Warrants

On December 10, 2020 the Sponsor purchased from the Company an aggregate of 7,366,667 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.50 per warrant (approximately $11,050,000 in the aggregate), in a private placement that occurred simultaneously with the completion of the Initial Public Offering (the “Private Placement Warrants”). Each Private Placement Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Class A common stock at $11.00 per share, subject to adjustment. A portion of the purchase price of the Private Placement Warrants were added to the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering to be held in the Trust Account such that at the time of closing $402,500,000 was held in the Trust Account.

The Private Placement Warrants are not redeemable by the Company so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by holders other than the Sponsor or its permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants are redeemable by the Company and exercisable by the holders on the same basis as the warrants included in the SAILSM securities sold in the Initial Public Offering. The Sponsor, or its permitted transferees, have the option to exercise the Private Placement Warrants on a cashless basis. The Private Placement Warrants are not transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of the Business Combination.

If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the offering (or 27 months, as applicable), the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants held in the Trust Account will be used to fund the redemption of the Company’s public shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law) and the Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless.

Registration and Stockholder Rights

The registration and stockholder rights agreement of the Company (the “Registration and Stockholder Rights Agreement”) provides that holders of the Alignment Shares, Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of working capital loans, if any, have registration rights to require the Company to register a sale of any of the Company’s securities held by such holders. These holders are entitled to make demands that the Company register such securities for sale under the Securities Act. In addition, these holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights to include such securities in other registration statements filed by the Company 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 costs and expenses incurred in connection with filing any such registration statements. Pursuant to the Registration and Stockholder Rights Agreement, the Sponsor is entitled to nominate three individuals for election to the Company’s board of directors, as long as the Sponsor holds any securities covered by the Registration and Stockholder Rights Agreement.

Indemnity

NOTE 4—RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Shares of Common Stock

On October 13, 2020, the Sponsor purchased 100 undesignated shares of common stock for a purchase price of $100, or $1 per share, and advanced $25,000 in exchange for a promissory note. Prior to the Sponsor’s initial investment in the Company, the Company had no assets. On November 6, 2020, the Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 2,300,000 shares of Class B common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000, or approximately $0.01 per share, paid through the cancellation of an equivalent outstanding amount under the promissory note between the Company and the Sponsor, and the tender to the Company of all 100 shares of the Company’s undesignated common stock held by the Sponsor. See “Sponsor Promissory Note” and “Note 6—Stockholders’ Deficit” below. On November 27, 2020, 287,500 shares of Class B common stock were forfeited by the Sponsor. In connection with the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor sold an aggregate of 201,250 Alignment Shares to certain of the Company’s directors, or their respective designees, and an officer of the Company. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Sponsor and the Company’s directors and officers held 2,012,500 Alignment Shares.

Private Placement Warrants Purchase

On December 10, 2020, the Sponsor purchased from the Company an aggregate of 7,366,667 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.50 per warrant or approximately $11,050,000 in the aggregate. See “Note 3—Initial Public Offering—Private Placement Warrants.” Approximately $3,000,000 of proceeds of the Private Placement Warrants purchase were added to the capital of the Company.

Sponsor Promissory Note

On October 13, 2020, the Sponsor advanced $25,000 to the Company in exchange for a promissory note. On November 6, 2020, the Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 2,300,000 shares of Class B common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000, or approximately $0.01 per share, paid through the cancellation of an equivalent outstanding amount under the promissory note between the Company and the Sponsor, and the tender to the Company of all 100 shares of the Company’s undesignated common stock held by the Sponsor. Prior to the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor loaned the Company $215,316 pursuant to an amended and restated unsecured promissory note to cover expenses related to the Company’s Initial Public Offering. These loans were noninterest bearing, unsecured and due at the earlier of June 30, 2021 and the closing of the Initial Public Offering. The $215,316 loan made pursuant to the amended and restated unsecured promissory note was repaid upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering out of the offering proceeds that have been allocated for the payment of offering expenses (other than underwriting commissions) not held in the Trust Account.

On February 16, 2021, the Company entered into a Second Amended and Restated Promissory Note with the Sponsor (the “Sponsor Promissory Note”), with borrowing capacity up to $3,000,000, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended Business Combination. The note is non-interest bearing and the unpaid principal balance of the promissory note shall be payable on the earlier of: (i) the consummation of a Business Combination and (ii) December 31, 2022. The principal amount of such loans may be convertible into warrants of the post-Business Combination entity at a price of $1.50 per warrant at the option of the Sponsor. These warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. On May 17, 2021, the Company borrowed $1,100,000 under the note. On August 12, 2021, the Company borrowed an additional $1,900,000 under the note, for total outstanding borrowings of $3,000,000 as of September 30, 2021.

The Sponsor Promissory Note is carried at fair value on the Company’s Balance Sheet and is remeasured each reporting period in accordance with the guidance in ASC 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” In its valuation of the Sponsor Promissory Note, the Company utilizes quoted prices for its publicly traded Redeemable Warrants (refer to “Note 3—Initial Public Offering” for additional details on the Redeemable Warrants), Although the Private Placement Warrants (which would be received upon conversion of the Sponsor Promissory Note) are not publicly traded, the Company considers both types of warrants to be similar. As of September 30, 2021, the fair value of the Sponsor Promissory Note was determined to equal $3,300,000, which resulted in the recognition of a loss of $300,000 for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2021. The loss is recorded in the Change in fair value of sponsor promissory note line in the Statement of Operations.

Administrative Service Agreement

On December 10, 2020, the Company entered into an agreement to pay $10,000 a month for office space, administrative and support services to an affiliate of the Sponsor and will terminate the agreement upon the earlier of a Business Combination or the liquidation of the Company. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recorded $30,000 and $90,000, respectively, of expense related to this agreement, which is included in Operating expenses on the Statement of Operations.

NOTE 5— COMMITMENT AND CONTINGENCIES

Underwriting Agreement

The underwriter was entitled to underwriting discounts and commissions of $0.55 per SAILSM security, or $22,137,500, of which $8,050,000 was paid at closing of the Initial Public Offering. As of September 30, 2021, the Company had $14,087,500 of accrued offering costs in the accompanying Balance Sheet, representing deferred underwriting commissions that will become payable to the underwriter from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completes the Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement. A portion of such amount, not to exceed 20% of the total amount of the deferred underwriting commissions held in the Trust Account, may be re-allocated or paid (a) to any underwriter from the Company’s Initial Public Offering in an amount (at the sole discretion of the Company’s management team) that is disproportionate to the portion of the aggregate deferred underwriting commission payable to such underwriter based on their participation in the Initial Public Offering and/or (b) to third parties that did not participate in the Company’s Initial Public Offering (but who are members of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”)) that assist the Company in consummating a Business Combination. The election to re-allocate or make any such payments to third parties will be solely at the discretion of the Company’s management team, and such third parties will be selected by the management team in their sole and absolute discretion. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completes a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

NOTE 6—STOCKHOLDERS’ DEFICIT

Common Stock

The Company is authorized to issue 250,000,000 shares of Class A common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share.

Warrants

NOTE 7—REDEEMABLE WARRANT LIABILITY

Pursuant to the Initial Public Offering, the Company sold 40,250,000 SAILSM securities (including the full exercise of the underwriter’s over-allotment option) at a price of $10.00 per SAILSM security. Each SAILSM security consists of one share of Class A common stock of the Company at $0.0001 par value and one-fourth of one Redeemable Warrant (or 10,062,500 Redeemable Warrants in the aggregate). See “Note 3—Initial Public Offering” for additional details on the Redeemable Warrants.

The Company determined that the Redeemable Warrants qualified as freestanding financial instruments that are bifurcated from the Class A common stock and classified as a separate liability pursuant to ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (ASC 815). According to ASC 815, financial instruments classified as liabilities are presented at fair value each reporting period, with changes in fair value recorded through earnings. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the value of the Redeemable Warrants was $16,603,125 and $18,716,250, respectively. The Company recorded a gain on the change in fair value of the Redeemable Warrants of $2,113,125 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, and a loss on the change in fair value of the Redeemable Warrants of $5,735,625 for the three months ended September 30, 2021, in the Change in fair value of redeemable warrant liability line in the Statement of Operations.

NOTE 8—STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company sold an aggregate of 2,300,000 Alignment Shares to the Sponsor on November 6, 2020. On November 27, 2020, the Sponsor sold 201,250 Alignment Shares to certain of the Company’s directors, or their respective designees, and an officer of the Company and forfeited 287,500 Alignment Shares due to an adjustment pursuant to the Initial Public Offering. See “Note 3—Initial Public Offering—Alignment Shares” for additional details. As of December 31, 2020 and September 30, 2021, 2,012,500 Alignment Shares were issued and outstanding.

On December 10, 2020, the Company sold an aggregate of 7,366,667 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.50 per warrant to the Sponsor in a private placement that occurred simultaneously with the completion of the Initial Public Offering. See “Note 3—Initial Public Offering—Private Placement Warrants” for additional details.

The Company determined that the incremental fair value over the price paid for the Alignment Shares and Private Placement Warrants would qualify as stock-based compensation within scope of ASC 718, “Compensation—Stock Compensation” (ASC 718) as a result of the services the Sponsor and directors and officers are providing to the Company through the date of a Business Combination.

Under ASC 718, stock-based compensation associated with equity-classified awards is measured at fair value upon the grant date and recognized over the requisite service period. The Alignment Shares and Private Placement Warrants were granted subject to a performance condition (i.e., the occurrence of a Business Combination ), as well as various market conditions (i.e., stock price targets after consummation of the Business Combination). The various market conditions are considered in determining the grant date fair value of these instruments using Monte Carlo simulation. Compensation expense related to the Alignment Shares and Private Placement Warrants is recognized only when the satisfaction of the performance condition is probable. At September 30, 2021, the Company determined that a Business Combination is not considered probable, and, therefore, no stock-based compensation expense has been recognized through September 30, 2021. Total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense associated with the Alignment Shares and Private Placement Warrants as of September 30, 2021 was determined to be in excess of $115 million, which would be recognized at the date a Business Combination is considered probable (i.e., upon consummation).

On July 12, 2021, the Company entered into a Business Combination Agreement that modified the terms of the Alignment Shares. The awards continue to be subject to a performance condition (i.e., the occurrence of a Business Combination) so no expense was recognized upon the modification date. Rather, the Alignment Shares were remeasured as of the modification date. Refer to “Note 1 – Description of Organization and Business Operations – Modification of Alignment Shares” for further discussion on the modification.

NOTE 9—FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

NOTE 10—INCOME TAXES

The Company’s provision for income taxes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $0.0 million. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 was 0% as the Company continues to record full valuation allowance for all of its deferred tax assets.

As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company has concluded that it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize the benefit of its deferred tax assets associated with net operating losses and capitalized start-up costs. Start-up costs cannot be amortized until the Company starts business operations. Therefore, a full valuation allowance has been established, as future events such as business combinations cannot be considered when assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets. Accordingly, the net deferred tax assets have been fully reserved.

As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company has not recorded any tax liability for uncertain tax positions. The Company’s continuing practice is to recognize potential accrued interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters within income tax expense. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company did not accrue any interest and penalties.
