CBRE Acquisition Holdings, Inc.
Notes to the Financial Statements
NOTE 1DESCRIPTION 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 Companys 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 March 31, 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.
Sponsor
The Companys 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 Companys 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 3Initial Public OfferingAlignment Shares below. In connection with the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor sold an aggregate of 201,250 Alignment Shares to certain of the Companys directors, or their respective designees, and an officer of the Company.
Initial Public Offering
The Company intends to finance a Business Combination with proceeds of $402,500,000 from the Initial Public Offering of 40,250,000 SAILSM securities (including the full exercise of the underwriters 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 underwriters 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.
On and following February 1, 2021, holders of the Companys SAILSM securities may 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 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).
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 Companys amended and restated certificate of incorporation (A) to modify the substance or timing of the Companys obligation to allow redemption in connection with the Companys 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 Companys 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.

Table of Contents
Business Combination
The Companys 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.
After signing 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 either (i) in connection with a stockholder meeting to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. 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 decision as to whether the Company will seek stockholder approval of the Business Combination or will allow stockholders to sell their shares in a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion, and will be based on a variety of factors such as the timing of the transaction and whether the terms of the transaction would otherwise require the Company to seek stockholder approval under applicable law or stock exchange listing requirements. If the Company seeks stockholder approval, it 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 Companys obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. The Sponsor and the Companys 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 Companys officers and directors acquire public shares after the Initial Public Offering, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such public shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the 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 Companys public shares.
If the Company fails to complete a Business Combination, the redemption of the Companys public shares will reduce the book value of the shares held by the Sponsor and the Companys directors and officers, who will be the only remaining stockholders after such redemptions.
If the Company holds a stockholder vote or there is a tender offer for shares 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).
Going Concern Consideration
In connection with the Companys assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASBs Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-15, Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entitys 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 4Related Party TransactionsNotes PayableSponsor for further information.

Revision of Prior Period Financial Statements
Pursuant to the Initial Public Offering, the Company sold 40,250,000 SAILSM securities (including the full exercise of the underwriters over-allotment option) at a price of $10.00 per unit (a 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) (the Redeemable Warrants). Historically, the Company accounted for the Redeemable Warrants as equity.
On April 12, 2021, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) released a public statement (the Public Statement) informing market participants that warrants issued by special purpose acquisition companies may require classification as a liability. Due to the clarifying guidance within the Public Statement, the Company determined that the Redeemable Warrants should be classified as liabilities, which requires the Redeemable Warrants to be measured at fair value with any changes in fair value each period reported in earnings. Additionally, since the Redeemable Warrants are classified as liabilities, the issuance costs associated with the Initial Public Offering that are allocated to the Redeemable Warrants are expensed in the Statement of Operations.
The Company also reconsidered its historical accounting policy related to its Class A common stock subject to redemption and determined that all Class A common stock are subject to redemption, except pursuant to the Redemption Floor, and have a redemption value reflective of the balance in the Trust Account.
The Company assessed the materiality of the errors on the prior periods financial statements in accordance with ASC 250, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections (ASC 250), and concluded that the errors were not material to prior reporting periods. Therefore, in accordance with ASC 250 (SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements), the financial statements as of December 31, 2020, which are presented herein, have been revised. The following are selected line items from the Companys financial statements illustrating the effect of the error correction thereon:

NOTE 2SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) and pursuant to the accounting and disclosure rules and regulations of the SEC, and reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the Companys financial position at March 31, 2021 and the results of operations and cash flows for the period presented.
Emerging Growth Company
Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to 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.
Cash
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and on deposit at banking institutions as well as all highly liquid short-term investments with original maturities of 90 days or less. The Company did not have any cash equivalents as of March 31, 2021 or December 31, 2020.

The Company accounts for its common stock as subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC 480. Common stock subject to mandatory redemption is classified as a liability instrument and is measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including common stock that features redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Companys control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, common stock is classified as stockholders equity. The Companys Class A common stock features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Companys control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, the Companys Class A common stock subject to possible redemption is presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders deficit section of the Companys Balance Sheet.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution, which at times may exceed the Federal depository insurance coverage of $250,000. The Company has not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts.
Financial Instruments
The fair value of the Companys 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.
Fair Value Measurement
ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes and ranks the level of observability of inputs used to measure investments at fair value. The observability of inputs is impacted by a number of factors, including the type of investment, characteristics specific to the investment, market conditions and other factors. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level I measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level III measurements).
Investments with readily available quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from quoted prices in active markets will typically have a higher degree of input observability and a lesser degree of judgment applied in determining fair value.
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC 820 are as follows:
Level I Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical investments at the measurement date are used.
Level II Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices included within Level I that are observable for the investment, either directly or indirectly. Level II pricing inputs include quoted prices for similar investments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar investments in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the investment, and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
Level III Pricing inputs are unobservable and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the investment. The inputs used in determination of fair value require significant judgment and estimation.
In some cases, the inputs used to measure fair value might fall within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the investment is categorized in its entirety is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the investment. Assessing the significance of a particular input to the valuation of an investment in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the investment. The categorization of an investment within the hierarchy is based upon the pricing transparency of the investment and does not necessarily correspond to the perceived risk of that investment.

Offering Costs
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.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method in accordance with the Accounting for Income Taxes Topic of the FASB ASC (Topic 740). Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured by applying enacted tax rates and laws and are released in the years in which the temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are provided against deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.
ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense.
Net Income per Share of Common Stock
The Company has two classes of common stock, Class A common stock and Class B common stock. Earnings and losses are shared pro rata between the two classes of common stock. Net income per share of common stock is computed by dividing pro rata net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, plus to the extent dilutive, the incremental number of shares of common stock to settle warrants, as calculated using the treasury stock method.
The Company has not considered the effect of the Redeemable Warrants and Private Placement Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 17,429,167 Class A common stock in the calculation of diluted income per share, since the exercise of the warrants are contingent upon the occurrence of future events and the inclusion of such warrants are out of the money and hence would not result in the issuance of incremental shares of common stock under the treasury stock method. As a result, diluted income per share of common stock is the same as basic income per share of common stock for the period. No warrants were exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Stock-Based Compensation
Stock-based compensation expense associated with the Companys equity awards is measured at fair value upon the grant date and recognized over the requisite service period. To the extent a stock-based award is subject to a performance condition, the amount of expense recorded in a given period, if any, reflects an assessment of the probability of achieving such performance condition, with compensation recognized once the event is deemed probable to occur. The fair value of equity awards has been estimated using Monte Carlo simulations. Forfeitures are recognized as incurred.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Companys management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Refer to Note 7Redeemable Warrant Liability for the valuation of the Companys Redeemable Warrant liability. Refer to Note 8Stock-Based Compensation for the valuation of our stock-based compensation.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (ASC 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. This ASU removes specific exceptions to the general principles in ASC 740 and improves and simplifies financial statement preparers application of income tax-related guidance. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those years, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2019-12 in the first quarter of 2021 and the adoption did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Companys financial statements.
NOTE 3INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING
Pursuant to the Initial Public Offering, the Company sold 40,250,000 SAILSM securities (including the full exercise of the underwriters 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 March 31, 2021, the Sponsor and the Companys directors and officers hold 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 Companys 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 Companys directors, or their respective designees, and an officer of the Company. The Alignment Shares are entitled to 20% of the voting power of the Companys common stock prior to the completion of the Companys 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:
| Only holders of the Alignment Shares have the right to vote on the election of directors prior to the Business Combination; |
| The Alignment Shares are subject to certain transfer restrictions, as described in more detail below; |
| The Sponsor and the Companys officers and directors have entered a letter agreement with the Company, pursuant to which they have agreed (i) to waive their redemption rights with respect to any Alignment Shares and public shares they hold in connection with the completion of the Business Combination, (ii) to waive their redemption rights with respect to any Alignment Shares and public shares they hold in connection with a stockholder vote to approve an amendment to the Companys amended and restated certificate of incorporation to modify the substance or timing of the Companys obligation to redeem 100% of its public shares if the Company has not consummated a Business Combination within 24 months (or 27 months, as applicable) from the closing of the Initial Public Offering or with respect to other specified provisions relating to stockholders rights or pre-Business Combination activity; and (iii) to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Alignment Shares they hold if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within 24 months (or 27 months, as applicable) from the closing of the Initial Public Offering, although they are entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any public shares they hold if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within such time period. If the Company submits the Business Combination to the public stockholders for a vote, the Sponsor and the Companys directors and officers have agreed, pursuant to such letter agreement, to vote their Alignment Shares and any public shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering in favor of the Business Combination; and |

| The 2,012,500 shares of Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, will convert as follows: on the last day of each measurement period, which will occur annually over ten fiscal years following the consummation of the Business Combination (and, with respect to any measurement period in which the Company undergoes a change of control or in which the Company is liquidated, dissolved or wound up, on the business day immediately prior to such event instead of on the last day of such measurement period), 201,250 Alignment Shares will automatically convert, subject to adjustment as described herein, into shares of the Companys Class A common stock (conversion shares), as follows: |
| If the sum (such sum, the Total Return) of (i) the VWAP, calculated in accordance with Item 15. Exhibits, and Financial Statement SchedulesExhibit 4.5 Description of SecuritiesAlignment SharesVolume weighted average price of the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K which is incorporated herein by reference, of shares of Class A common stock for the final fiscal quarter in such measurement period and (ii) the amount per share of any dividends or distributions paid or payable to holders of Class A common stock on the record date for which is on or prior to the last day of the measurement period does not exceed the price threshold (as defined below), the number of conversion shares for such measurement period will be 2,013 shares of Class A common stock; |
| If the Total Return exceeds the price threshold but does not exceed an amount equal to 130% of the price threshold, then the number of conversion shares for such measurement period will be the greater of (i) 2,013 shares of Class A common stock and (ii) 20% of the difference between the Total Return and the price threshold, multiplied by (A) the sum (such sum (as proportionally adjusted to give effect to any stock splits, stock capitalizations, stock combinations, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations or any such similar transactions), the Closing Share Count) of (x) the number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding immediately after the closing of the Initial Public Offering (including any exercise of the over-allotment option) and (y) if in connection with the Business Combination there are issued any shares of Class A common stock or Equity-Linked Securities (as defined below), the number of shares of Class A common stock so issued and the maximum number of shares of Class A common stock issuable (whether settled in shares or in cash) upon conversion or exercise of such Equity-Linked Securities, divided by (B) the Total Return; and |
| If the Total Return exceeds an amount equal to 130% of the price threshold, then the number of conversion shares for such measurement period will be the greater of (i) 2,013 shares of Class A common stock and (ii) the sum of (x) 20% of the difference between an amount equal to 130% of the price threshold and the price threshold and (y) 30% of the difference between the Total Return and an amount equal to 130% of the price threshold, multiplied by (A) the Closing Share Count, divided by (B) the Total Return. |
The term measurement period means (i) the period beginning on the date of the Companys 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 Companys 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:
| If, prior to the date of such change of control, the Alignment Shares have already cumulatively converted into a number of shares of Class A common stock equal in the aggregate to at least 5% of the Closing Share Count (the 5% Threshold Amount), the number of conversion shares will equal the greater of (i) 2,013 shares of Class A common stock and (ii) the number of shares of Class A common stock that would be issuable based on the excess of the Total Return above the price threshold as described above with such Total Return calculated based on the purchase price or deemed value agreed upon in the change of control transaction rather than the VWAP for the final fiscal quarter in the relevant measurement period; |
| If, prior to the date of the change of control, the Alignment Shares have not already cumulatively converted into a number of shares of Class A common stock equal in the aggregate to at least the 5% Threshold Amount, the number of conversion shares will equal the greater of (i) the 5% Threshold Amount less any shares of Class A common stock previously issued upon conversion of Alignment Shares and (ii) the number of shares that would be issuable based on the excess of the Total Return above the price threshold described above with the Total Return calculated based on the purchase price or deemed value agreed upon in the change of control transaction rather than the VWAP for the final fiscal quarter in the relevant measurement period; and |
| To the extent any remaining tranches of 201,250 Alignment Shares remain outstanding, each remaining tranche of 201,250 Alignment Shares will automatically convert into 2,013 shares of the Companys Class A common stock. |
The Companys 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 Companys Business Combination.

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 are 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 Companys 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 Companys 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 Companys board of directors, as long as the Sponsor holds any securities covered by the Registration and Stockholder Rights Agreement.
Indemnity
The Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third-party vendor (other than the Companys independent auditors) for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduces the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below (i) $10.00 per public share or (ii) such lesser amount per public share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, in each case net of the interest which may be withdrawn to pay taxes, except as to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account and except as to any claims under the Companys indemnity of the underwriter of the Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under 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 has not independently verified whether the Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and believes that the Sponsors only assets are securities of the Company and, therefore, the Sponsor may not be able to satisfy those obligations. The Company has not asked the Sponsor to reserve for such eventuality as the Company believes the likelihood of the Sponsor having to indemnify the Trust Account is limited because the Company will endeavor to have all third party vendors (other than the Companys independent auditors) and prospective target businesses as well as other entities execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account.
NOTE 4RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Shares of Common Stock

Note PayableSponsor
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 Companys 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 Companys 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, 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 Private Placement 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. No amounts were outstanding under the note by the Company as of March 31, 2021. Subsequent to March 31, 2021, the Company borrowed $1,100,000 under the note, which remains outstanding as of May 17, 2021.

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 March 31, 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 Companys Initial Public Offering in an amount (at the sole discretion of the Companys 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 Companys 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 Companys 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.

Warrants
Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company simultaneously issued the Private Placement Warrants. 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 the 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 Companys public shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law) and the Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless.
NOTE 7REDEEMABLE WARRANT LIABILITY
Pursuant to the Initial Public Offering, the Company sold 40,250,000 SAILSM securities (including the full exercise of the underwriters 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 3Initial 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 March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the value of the Redeemable Warrants was $9,257,500 and $18,716,250, respectively, and the Company recorded a gain on the remeasurement value of the Redeemable Warrants of $9,458,750 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 in the Change in fair value of redeemable warrant liability line in the Statement of Operations.
As the Redeemable Warrants, effective February 1, 2021, are separately traded on NYSE under the symbol CBAH WS, as of March 31, 2021, the fair value of the Redeemable Warrants was determined based on the quoted trading price of these instruments. As of December 31, 2020, the fair value of these instruments was estimated using Monte Carlo simulation. The key assumptions in the option pricing model utilized are assumptions related to expected underlying share-price volatility, expected term of the warrants, the risk-free interest rate and the Companys dividend yield. The expected volatility as of the December 15, 2020 was derived from observable public warrant pricing on comparable blank-check companies that went public in 2019 and 2020. The risk-free interest rate is based on the interpolated U.S. Constant Maturity Treasury yield. The expected term of the warrants is assumed to be one year until the closing of a Business Combination, and an estimated five year holding period, based on typical equity investor holding periods. The dividend rate is based on the historical rate, which the Company anticipates to remain at zero.
NOTE 8STOCK-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 Companys 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 3Initial Public OfferingAlignment Shares for additional details. As of December 31, 2020 and March 31, 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 3Initial Public OfferingPrivate 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, CompensationStock 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. As March 31, 2020, the Company determined that a Business Combination is not considered probable, and, therefore, no stock-based compensation expense has been recognized through March 31, 2021. Unrecognized stock-based compensation expense in excess of $250 million would be recognized at the date a Business Combination is considered probable (i.e., upon consummation).

NOTE 10INCOME TAXES
The Companys provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was $0.0 million. The Companys effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was 0% as the Company continues to record full valuation allowance for all of its deferred tax assets.
As of March 31, 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 March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company has not recorded any tax liability for uncertain tax positions. The Companys continuing practice is to recognize potential accrued interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters within income tax expense. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company did not accrue any interest and penalties.

NOTE 11SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Subsequent Events
Management has evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date up to May 17, 2021, the date the financial statements were issued.
Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The following discussion and analysis of the Companys financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the notes related thereto which are included in Part I, Item 1. Financial Statements of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Certain information contained in the discussion and analysis set forth below includes forward-looking statements. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including those set forth under Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements, Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors and elsewhere in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) on March 31, 2021 (our 2020 Annual Report).
Overview
We are a blank check company incorporated on October 13, 2020 as a Delaware corporation and 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 or assets, which we refer to throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as our business combination. We completed our initial public offering (Initial Public Offering) on December 15, 2020. We are an emerging growth company, as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the JOBS Act) and, as such, we are subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies.
Since completing our Initial Public Offering, we have reviewed, and continue to review, a number of opportunities to enter into a business combination with an operating business, including entering into discussions with potential target businesses, but we are not able to determine at this time whether we will complete a business combination with any of the target businesses that we have reviewed or had discussions with or with any other target business. Although we may pursue an acquisition in any industry or geography, we intend to capitalize on the ability of our management team and the broader CBRE platform to identify, acquire and operate a business that may provide opportunities for attractive risk-adjusted returns. We intend to effectuate our business combination using cash from the proceeds of our Initial Public Offering and the sale of the private placement warrants, our common stock, debt, or a combination of cash, stock and debt.
Results of Operations
During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we reported net income of $8,505,557. As of March 31, 2021, we had neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. We will not generate any operating revenues until after completion of our business combination, at the earliest. The net income during the three months ended March 31, 2021 is primarily driven by the decrease in the fair value of the Redeemable Warrant (as defined below) liability from December 31, 2020 to March 31, 2021. Since completing our Initial Public Offering, we generate non-operating income on cash and funds held in the trust account in the form of interest income on cash and funds invested in specified U.S. government treasury obligations or in specified money market funds which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations. Other than the decrease in the fair value of the Redeemable Warrant liability, there has been no significant change in our financial or trading position and no material adverse change has occurred since the date of our last audited financial statements. We expect to incur increased expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses. We cannot assure you that our plans to complete our business combination will be successful.
During the three months ended March 31, 2021, our activities mainly consisted of identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates for a business combination. We believe that we have sufficient funds available to complete our efforts to effect a business combination with an operating business by December 15, 2022 (or March 15, 2023 if applicable). However, if our estimates of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating a business combination are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, we may have insufficient funds available to operate our business prior to our business combination.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
On October 13, 2020, CBRE Acquisition Sponsor, LLC (our Sponsor) purchased 100 shares of undesignated common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $100, or $1.00 per share. On November 6, 2020, our Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 2,300,000 shares of our Class B common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000, or approximately $0.01 per share. On November 27, 2020, 287,500 of such shares were forfeited by the holder thereof. Prior to the initial investment in the Company of $25,000 by our Sponsor, the Company had no assets, tangible or intangible.
On October 21, 2020, our Sponsor agreed to loan us up to $300,000 by the issuance of an unsecured promissory note to be used for a portion of the expenses related to the organization of our company and our Initial Public Offering. As of December 15, 2020 the outstanding balance on the loan was $215,316. This loan was non-interest bearing, unsecured and due at the earlier of June 30, 2021, and the closing of our Initial Public Offering. The loan was repaid in full upon the consummation of our Initial Public Offering out of the $1,500,000 of offering proceeds that had been allocated for the payment of offering expenses (other than underwriting commissions) not held in the trust account (as defined below).

Table of Contents
On December 15, 2020 we consummated our Initial Public Offering of 40,250,000 SAILSM, including the issuance of 5,250,000 SAILSM securities as a result of the underwriters exercise of its over-allotment option. Each SAILSM security consists of one share of Class A common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the Class A common stock), and one-fourth of one Redeemable Warrant (the Redeemable Warrants), each whole Redeemable Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one share of Class A common stock at an exercise price of $11.00 per share. The SAILSM securities were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per SAILSM security, generating gross proceeds of $402,500,000, including the proceeds from the exercise of the underwriters over-allotment option. In connection with the consummation of the Initial Public Offering and the issuance and sale of the SAILSM securities, we consummated the private placement of 7,366,667 warrants (the private placement warrants) at a price of $1.50 per private placement warrant, each exercisable to purchase one share of Class A common stock at $11.00 per share, generating total proceeds of approximately $11,050,000. After deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions (excluding the deferred underwriting discount held in the trust account, which amount will be payable upon the consummation of our business combination, if consummated) and the estimated offering expenses, the total net proceeds from our Initial Public Offering and the sale of the private placement warrants was $402,500,000 (or $10.00 per SAILSM security sold in the Initial Public Offering), which was placed in the trust account in the United States (the trust account) maintained by Continental Stock Transfer and Trust Company acting as trustee (the Trustee). The amount of proceeds not deposited in the trust account was $1,500,000 at the closing of our Initial Public Offering. Funds will remain in the trust account except for the withdrawal of interest earned on the funds that may be released to the us to pay taxes.
On February 16, 2021, we entered into a second amended and restated promissory note (the second amended and restated promissory note) with our Sponsor, 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 (or March 31, 2023 if applicable). The principal amount of such loans may be convertible into private placement warrants of the post-business combination entity at a price of $1.50 per warrant at the option of our sponsor. These warrants would be identical to the private placement warrants. No amounts were outstanding under the note by the Company as of March 31, 2021. Subsequent to March 31, 2021, the Company borrowed $1,100,000 under the note, which remains outstanding as of May 17, 2021.
At March 31, 2021, we had $402,507,058 in the trust account and we had $279,819 in cash and cash equivalents outside the trust account, which is available to fund our working capital requirements.
We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the trust account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the trust account (excluding deferred underwriting commissions) to complete our business combination. We may withdraw interest to pay our taxes, if any. We estimate our annual franchise tax obligations, based on the number of shares of our common stock authorized and outstanding to be approximately $10,000, which is the maximum amount of annual franchise taxes payable by us as a Delaware corporation per annum. Our annual income tax obligations will depend on the amount of interest and other income earned on the amounts held in the trust account. 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.
Off-balance Sheet Financing Arrangements
We had no obligations, assets or liabilities which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements at March 31, 2021. 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 had not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or entered into any non-financial agreements involving assets as of March 31, 2021.
Contractual Obligations
We did not have any long-term debt obligations, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or purchase obligations at March 31, 2021. In connection with the Initial Public Offering, we entered into an administrative services agreement to pay monthly recurring expenses of $10,000 to CBRE, Inc., an affiliate of our Sponsor, for office space, administrative and support services. The administrative services agreement terminates upon the earlier of the completion of a business combination or the liquidation of the Company. The underwriter is entitled to underwriting discounts and commissions of 5.5%, of which 2.0% ($8,050,000) was paid at the consummation of our Initial Public Offering, and 3.5% ($14,087,500) was deferred. The deferred underwriting commission will become payable to the underwriter 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. The underwriter is not entitled to any interest accrued on the deferred underwriting discount.
A portion of the deferred underwriting commission, 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 our Initial Public Offering in an amount (at the sole discretion of the Companys 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 our Initial Public Offering (but who are members of FINRA) that assist the Company in consummating a business combination. The election to or make any such payments to third parties will be solely at the discretion of the Companys 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.

Critical Accounting Policies
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and pursuant to the accounting and disclosure rules and regulations of the SEC, and reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the Companys financial position at March 31, 2021 and the results of operations and cash flows for the period presented. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. A discussion of such critical accounting policies, which include financial instruments, fair value measurement, stock-based compensation and income taxes can be found in our 2020 Annual Report. There have been no material changes to these policies as of March 31, 2021, except as follows:
Redeemable Warrant liability
Pursuant to the Initial Public Offering, the Company sold 40,250,000 SAILSM securities (including the full exercise of the underwriters 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).
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 March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the value of the Redeemable Warrants was $9,257,500 and $18,716,250, respectively, and the Company recorded a gain on the remeasurement of the Redeemable Warrants of $9,458,750 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 in the Change in fair value of redeemable warrant liability line in the Statement of Operations.
As the Redeemable Warrants, effective February 1, 2021, are separately traded on NYSE under the symbol CBAH WS, as of March 31, 2021, the fair value of the Redeemable Warrants was determined based on the quoted trading price of these instruments. As of December 31, 2020, the fair value of these instruments was estimated using Monte Carlo simulation. The key assumptions in the option pricing model utilized are assumptions related to underlying expected share-price volatility of the warrants, the expected term, risk-free interest rate and the Companys dividend yield. The expected volatility as of the December 15, 2020 was derived from observable public warrant pricing on comparable blank-check companies that went public in 2019 and 2020. The risk-free interest rate is based on the interpolated U.S. Constant Maturity Treasury yield. The expected term of the warrants is assumed to be one year until the closing of a business combination, and an estimated five year holding period, based on typical equity investor holding periods. The dividend rate is based on the historical rate, which the Company anticipates to remain at zero.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Companys financial statements based on current operations of the Company. The impact of any recently issued accounting standards will be re-evaluated on a regular basis or if a business combination is completed where the impact could be material.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
As of March 31, 2021, we were not subject to any material market or interest rate risk, except as described in the Risk Factors discussed herein and in our 2020 Annual Report. The net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the private placement warrants, including amounts in the trust account, were invested in U.S. government securities with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds that meet certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, that invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations. Due to the short-term nature of these investments, we believe there will be no associated material exposure to interest rate risk.
We have not engaged in any hedging activities since our inception on October 13, 2020. We do not expect to engage in any hedging activities with respect to the market risk to which we are exposed.
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 SECs rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2021, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act, as amended (the Exchange Act). Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer has concluded that during the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2021, due to the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting discussed below.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
In light of managements conclusion, following a review of the Redeemable Warrants in connection with the SEC Staff Statement, as described in Note 1Description of Organization and Business Operations of our Financial Statements, to adjust the accounting for certain complex financial instruments, including the Redeemable Warrants, our internal control over financial reporting did not result in sufficient risk assessment of the underlying accounting for certain complex financial instruments which we determined to be a material weakness.
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2021 covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. In response to the material weakness related to our accounting for certain complex financial instruments, we have engaged accounting advisors and performed a thorough review of our complex financial instruments and accounting positions.
None.

Table of Contents
With the exception of the following, there have been no material changes to our risk factors as previously disclosed in our 2020 Annual Report.
Our Redeemable Warrants are now accounted for as derivative liabilities and are recorded at fair value with changes in fair value each period reported in earnings, which may have an adverse effect on the market price of our common stock or may make it more difficult for us to consummate an initial business combination.
We issued 10,062,500 Redeemable Warrants as part of the SAILSM securities offered in our Initial Public Offering. We have accounted for such warrants underlying the SAILSM securities offered in our Initial Public Offering as a warrant liability. At each reporting period (1) the accounting treatment of the Redeemable Warrants will be re-evaluated for proper accounting treatment as a liability or equity and (2) the fair value of the liability of the Redeemable Warrants will be remeasured and the change in the fair value of the liability will be recorded as other income (expense) in our statement of operations. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, we recorded a gain of $9,458,750 with respect to our outstanding Redeemable Warrants (see Change in fair value of redeemable warrant liability in the Part I, Item 1. Financial StatementsStatement of Operations of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q).
As the Redeemable Warrants, effective February 1, 2021 are separately traded on NYSE under the symbol CBAH WS, the fair value of the Redeemable Warrants will be determined based on the quoted traded price of these instruments. The share price of our common stock represents the primary underlying variable that impacts the value of the derivative instruments. Additional factors that impact the value of the derivative instruments include the volatility of our stock price, discount rates and stated interest rates. As a result, our financial statements and results of operations will fluctuate quarterly, based on various factors, such as the share price of our common stock, many of which are outside of our control. If our stock price is volatile, we expect that we will recognize non-cash gains or losses on our Redeemable Warrants or any other similar derivative instruments each reporting period and that the amount of such gains or losses could be material. The impact of changes in fair value on earnings may have an adverse effect on the market price of our common stock. In addition, potential targets may seek a special purpose acquisition company that does not have warrants that are accounted for as a liability, or have any warrants at all, which may make it more difficult for us to consummate a business combination with a target business.
