Note 1—Description of Organization and Business Operations

Starboard Value Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware on November 14, 2019. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Initial Business Combination”). The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”).

As of March 31, 2021, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from November 14, 2019 (inception) to March 31, 2021 relates to the Company’s formation and the initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering”) and since the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the search for a prospective Initial Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after completion of its Initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents from the net proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering. The Company has selected December 31^st as its fiscal year end.

The Company’s sponsor is SVAC Sponsor LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”). The registration statements for the Initial Public Offering became effective on September 9, 2020. On September 14, 2020, the Company consummated its Initial Public Offering of 36,000,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, included in the Units offered, the “Public Shares”) at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $360.0 million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $23.0 million, inclusive of $16.2 million in deferred underwriting commissions (Note 5). The underwriters were granted a 45-day option from the date of the final prospectus relating to the Initial Public Offering to purchase up to 5,400,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments, if any, at $10.00 per Unit, less underwriting discounts and commissions. On September 18, 2020, the underwriters partially exercised the over-allotment option and on September 23, 2020, purchased an additional 4,423,453 Units (the “Over-Allotment Units”), generating gross proceeds of approximately $44.2 million, and incurred additional offering costs of approximately $2.7 million (net of approximately $221,000 in reimbursement for certain expenses from the underwriters), including approximately $2.0 million in deferred underwriting fees.

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company completed the private sale (the “Private Placement”) of an aggregate of 6,133,333 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) to the Sponsor, at a purchase price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $9.2 million. In connection with the underwriters’ partial exercise of their over-allotment option, the Sponsor purchased an additional 589,794 Private Placement Warrants, generating gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $0.9 million.

Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Private Placement and the sale of the Over-Allotment Units and 589,794 additional Private Placement Warrants, $404.2 million ($10.00 per Unit) of the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering, the Private Placement, the Over-Allotment Units and the additional Private Placement Warrants were placed in a trust account (“Trust Account”) located in the United States with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee, and invested only in U.S. “government securities,” within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), with a maturity of 185 days or less, or in money market funds meeting the conditions of paragraphs (d)(2), (d)(3) and (d)(4) of Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act, which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of an Initial Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account as described below.

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

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Company will provide holders of the Public Shares (the “Public Stockholders”) with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of an Initial Business Combination either (i) in connection with a stockholder meeting called to approve the Initial Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek stockholder approval of an Initial Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion. The Public Stockholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then held in the Trust Account (initially anticipated to be $10.00 per Public Share). The per-share amount to be distributed to Public Stockholders who redeem their Public Shares will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting commissions the Company will pay to the underwriters (as discussed in Note 5). The redemption rights will include the requirement that a beneficial holder must identify itself in order to validly redeem its shares. These Public Shares will be recorded at a redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” In such case, the Company will proceed with an Initial Business Combination if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 upon consummation of such Initial Business Combination and a majority of the shares voted are voted in favor of the Initial Business Combination. If a stockholder vote is not required by law and the Company does not decide to hold a stockholder vote for business or other legal reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”), conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing an Initial Business Combination. If, however, stockholder approval of the transaction is required by law, or the Company decides to obtain stockholder approval for business or legal reasons, the Company will offer to redeem shares in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules and not pursuant to the tender offer rules. Additionally, each Public Stockholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed transaction. If the Company seeks stockholder approval in connection with an Initial Business Combination, the Sponsor and the Company’s officers and directors have agreed to vote their Founder Shares (as defined below in Note 4) and any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering in favor of an Initial Business Combination. In addition, the Sponsor and the Company’s officers and directors have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares and Public Shares in connection with the completion of an Initial Business Combination.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Certificate of Incorporation provides that a Public Stockholder, together with any affiliate of such stockholder or any other person with whom such stockholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), will be restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% or more of the Public Shares, without the prior consent of the Company.

The Sponsor and the Company’s officers and directors have agreed not to propose an amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation that would affect the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of the Public Shares if the Company does not complete an Initial Business Combination within the time frame described below, unless the Company provides the Public Stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares in conjunction with any such amendment.

If the Company is unable to complete an Initial Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering, or September 14, 2022 (the “Combination Period”), the Company will (i) cease all operations, except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its franchise and income taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then-outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish the Public Stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining stockholders and its 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.

STARBOARD VALUE ACQUISITION CORP.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Sponsor and the Company’s officers and directors have agreed to waive their liquidation rights with respect to the Founder Shares if the Company fails to complete an Initial Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if the Sponsor and the Company’s officers and directors should acquire Public Shares in or 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 an Initial Business Combination within the Combination Period. The underwriters have agreed to waive their rights to the deferred underwriting commission (see Note 5) held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete an Initial Business Combination within in the Combination Period and, in such event, such amounts will be included with the other funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the Public Shares. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the residual assets remaining available for distribution (including Trust Account assets) will be only $10.00. In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed to be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party (except for the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm) for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has entered into a transaction agreement reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of  (i) $10.00 per Public Share and (ii) the actual amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account due to reductions in the value of the trust assets as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, in each case including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its franchise and income taxes, less franchise and income taxes payable. This liability will not apply with respect to any claims by a third party or target that executed an agreement waiving claims against and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account whether or not such agreement is enforceable or to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933. The Company will seek to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers (except for the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm), prospective target businesses or other entities with which the Company does business, execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2021, the Company had approximately $1.9 million in its operating bank account, and working capital of approximately $1.4 million.

The Company’s liquidity needs to date have been satisfied through the payment of $25,000 from the Sponsor to purchase the Founder Shares, the loan under the Note (as defined below in Note 4) of approximately $141,000 (see Note 4) from the Sponsor, and the net proceeds from the consummation of the Private Placement not held in the Trust Account. The Company fully repaid the Note on September 14, 2020. In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with an Initial Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, provide the Company Working Capital Loans (as defined below in Note 4). As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there were no Working Capital Loans outstanding.

Based on the foregoing, management believes that the Company will have sufficient working capital and borrowing capacity from the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or the Company’s officers and directors to meet its needs through the earlier of the consummation of an Initial Business Combination or one year from this filing. Over this time period, the Company will be using these funds for paying accounts payable, identifying and evaluating prospective Initial Business Combination candidates, performing due diligence on prospective target businesses, paying for travel expenditures, selecting the target business to merge with or acquire, and structuring, negotiating and consummating the Initial Business Combination.

Management continues to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and has concluded that the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of the balance sheet. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Proposed Business Combination

On February 21, 2021, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Mundo Merger Sub 1, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub 1”), Mundo Merger Sub 2, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub 2”), Cyxtera Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Cyxtera”), and Mundo Holdings, Inc. (“NewCo”), a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of SIS Holdings LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“Cyxtera Stockholder”), which provides for, among other things, (i) Cyxtera to be contributed to Newco by the Cyxtera Stockholder, with Cyxtera becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Newco, (ii) Merger Sub 1 to be merged with and into NewCo (the “First Merger”), with NewCo surviving the First Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and Merger Sub 1 ceasing to exist, and (iii) immediately following the First Merger, NewCo to be merged with and into Merger Sub 2 (the “Second Merger”, and together with the First Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the “Cyxtera Business Combination”), with Merger Sub 2 surviving the Second Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and NewCo ceasing to exist. As a result of the Cyxtera Business Combination, Cyxtera and the various operating subsidiaries of Cyxtera will become subsidiaries of the Company, with the Cyxtera Stockholder becoming a stockholder of the Company. Upon closing of the Cyxtera Business Combination, the Company will be renamed “Cyxtera Technologies, Inc.” As a consequence of the Cyxtera Business Combination, each issued and outstanding Founder Share (as defined below) will automatically convert into a share of Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis. The Cyxtera Business Combination is expected to close mid-2021, following the receipt of the required approval by the Company’s stockholders and the fulfillment of other customary closing conditions.

In connection with the Merger Agreement, the Cyxtera Stockholder entered into a Stockholder Support Agreement with the Company and Cyxtera (the “Stockholder Support Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, the Cyxtera Stockholder agreed to (i) provide its consent to the adoption of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the mergers and the pre-closing restructuring, and (ii) take all actions necessary or appropriate to contribute its equity securities in Cyxtera to NewCo and otherwise cause the pre-closing restructuring to occur in accordance with the Merger Agreement. In addition, the Cyxtera Stockholder agreed not to transfer any equity securities of Cyxtera or NewCo until the date upon which the Stockholder Support Agreement expires, except as contemplated by the Stockholder Support Agreement. Further, the Sponsor and the other holders of the Founder Shares (together with the Sponsor, the “Insiders”) entered into a Sponsor Support Agreement with the Company and Cyxtera (the “Sponsor Support Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, each Insider agreed to (i) vote all Class A common stock and Class B common stock owned by it, him or her (all such common stock, the “Covered Shares”) in favor of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the mergers, and each other proposal related thereto included on the agenda for the special meeting of stockholders related thereto and (ii) not redeem, or seek to redeem, any Covered Shares owned by it, him or her in connection with the stockholder approval of the Cyxtera Business Combination. In addition, each Insider agreed, subject to certain exceptions, not to transfer, as applicable, any shares of Class B common stock, Private Placement Warrants (or shares of Class A common stock issued or issuable upon the exercise of Private Placement Warrants) or other equity securities of the Company until the date upon which the Sponsor Support Agreement expires. Solely in connection with and only for the purpose of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, each Insider irrevocably and unconditionally waived and agreed not to assert, claim or perfect any rights to adjustment or other anti-dilution protection with respect to the rate that the shares of Class B common stock held by him, her or it converts into Class A common stock pursuant to Section 4.3 of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or any other anti-dilution protections or other adjustment or similar protections that arise in connection with the Cyxtera Business Combination.

In addition, Cyxtera and the forward purchasers (as defined below) entered into a letter agreement related to the optional share purchase agreement (as defined below), pursuant to which letter agreement the forward purchasers agreed not to purchase optional shares (as defined below) in an aggregate amount exceeding $75,000,000 for all forward purchasers.

In connection with the Merger Agreement, the Company also entered into separate subscription agreements, dated February 21, 2021, with certain investors, pursuant to which the Company has agreed to issue and sell, in private placements to close immediately prior to the closing of the Cyxtera Business Combination, an aggregate of 25,000,000 shares of Class A common stock for a purchase price of $10.00 per share and an aggregate purchase price of $250,000,000, of which certain clients of Starboard Value LP have committed to purchase, on the same terms as the other subscribers, an aggregate of 6,000,000 shares of Class A common stock, for a purchase price of $10.00 per share and an aggregate purchase price of $60,000,000.

Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP. In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair statement of the balances and results for the period presented. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected through December 31, 2021.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Form 10-K/A filed by the Company with the SEC on May 13, 2021.

Emerging Growth Company

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the JOBS Act, and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company that is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company that has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. One of the more significant accounting estimates included in these financial statements is the determination of the fair value of the warrant liability. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

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 limit of $250,000. At March 31, 2021, the Company has not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts.

STARBOARD VALUE ACQUISITION CORP.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company had no cash equivalents as of March 31, 2021.

Investments Held in the Trust Account

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

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for sale of an asset or paid for transfer of a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value.

The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). These tiers include:

In some circumstances, the inputs used to measure fair value might be categorized within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In those instances, the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the carrying values of cash, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, accrued expenses, franchise tax payable, and income tax payable approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of the instruments. The Company’s investments held in the Trust Account are comprised of investments in U.S. Treasury securities with an original maturity of 185 days or less or investments in a money market funds that comprise only U.S. treasury securities and are recognized at fair value. The fair value of investments held in Trust Account is determined using quoted prices in active markets.

Offering Costs Associated with the Initial Public Offering

Offering costs consisted of legal, accounting, underwriting fees and other costs incurred that were directly related to the Initial Public Offering. Offering costs are allocated to the separable financial instruments issued in the Initial Public Offering based on a relative fair value basis, compared to total proceeds received. Offering costs associated with derivative warrant liabilities are expensed as incurred, presented as non-operating expenses in the statement of operations. Offering costs associated with the Public Shares were charged to stockholders’ equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering.

STARBOARD VALUE ACQUISITION CORP.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Derivative Liabilities

The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. The Company evaluates all of its financial instruments, including issued stock purchase warrants, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives, pursuant to ASC 480 and ASC 815-15. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period.

The 6,737,242 Detachable Redeemable Warrants (as defined below) issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering and the 6,723,127 Private Placement Warrants are recognized as derivative liabilities in accordance with ASC 815-40. The Company will also be distributing warrants (which will be in the form of Distributable Redeemable Warrants and, to the extent any public stockholders redeem Class A common stock in connection with the Initial Business Combination, Distributable Redeemable Warrants and Private Placement Warrants) to purchase 6,737,242 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock in connection with the closing of the Initial Business Combination. All of the outstanding warrants and distributable warrants are recognized as derivative liabilities in accordance with ASC 815-40. Accordingly, the Company recognizes the warrant instruments as liabilities at fair value and adjust the instruments to fair value at each reporting period. The liabilities are subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in our statement of operations. The fair value of warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering and Private Placement, and the Distributable Redeemable Warrants, were initially measured at fair value using a modified Black-Scholes option pricing model.

The Company entered into a forward purchase agreement with forward purchasers pursuant to which the forward purchasers will purchase forward purchase shares at a price equal to $9.50 per share, in a private placement that will close simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Business Combination. At the closing, the forward purchasers will purchase the number of forward purchase shares from the Company that would result in net proceeds in an aggregate amount necessary to satisfy the exercise of redemption rights by holders of our public shares in connection with the Initial Business Combination (the “Redemption Obligation”), subject to a maximum funding commitment by the forward purchasers of $100,000,000. The forward purchase agreement is recognized as a derivative liability in accordance with ASC 815-40. Accordingly, the Company recognizes the instrument as a liability at fair value and adjust the instrument to fair value at each reporting period. 

Class A Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption

The Company accounts for its Class A common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Shares of Class A common stock subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as liability instruments and are measured at fair value. Shares of conditionally redeemable Class A common stock (including Class A common stock that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, shares of Class A common stock are classified as stockholders’ equity. The Company’s Class A common stock features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, 34,815,918 and 33,614,040 shares of Class A common stock subject to possible redemption are presented as temporary equity, respectively, outside of the stockholders’ equity section of the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share

The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” Net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. The Company has not considered the effect of the warrants sold in the Initial Public Offering and Private Placement to purchase an aggregate of 20,197,611 shares of the Company’s common stock in the calculation of diluted loss per share, since the average market price of the Company’s Class A common stock for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was below the Warrants’ $11.50 exercise price. As a result, diluted income per common share is the same as basic net income per common share for the period presented.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations include a presentation of income per share for common stock subject to redemption in a manner similar to the two-class method of income per share. Net income per share of common stock, basic and diluted for shares of Class A common stock are calculated by dividing the income earned on investments held in the Trust Account, net of applicable taxes and working capital amounts available to be withdrawn from the Trust Account, which was approximately $7,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021, by the weighted average number of Class A common stock outstanding for the period. Net income per share of common stock, basic and diluted for shares of Class B common stock is calculated by dividing the net income of approximately $12.0 million, less income attributable to Class A common stock by the weighted average number of Class B common stock outstanding for the period.

At March 31, 2020, the Company did not have any dilutive securities and other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into shares of common stock and then share in the earnings of the Company. As a result, diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss per share for the periods presented.

Income Taxes

The Company complies with the accounting and reporting requirements of FASB ASC, 740, “Income Taxes,” which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those 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 included the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

FASB 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.

Recent Issued Accounting Standards

In August 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (the “ASU”) No. 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity, which simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current GAAP. The ASU also removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity-linked contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception and it also simplifies the diluted earnings per share calculation in certain areas. The Company early adopted the ASU on January 1, 2021. Adoption of the ASU did not impact the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

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

Note 3—Initial Public Offering

On September 14, 2020, the Company consummated its Initial Public Offering of 36,000,000 Units at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $360.0 million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $23.0 million, inclusive of $16.2 million in deferred underwriting commissions. The underwriters were granted a 45-day option from the date of the final prospectus relating to the Initial Public Offering to purchase up to 5,400,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments, if any, at $10.00 per Unit, less underwriting discounts and commissions. On September 18, 2020, the underwriters partially exercised the over-allotment option and on September 23, 2020, purchased an additional 4,423,453 Units, generating gross proceeds of approximately $44.2 million, and incurring additional offering costs of approximately $2.7 million (net of approximately $221,000 in reimbursement for certain expenses from the underwriters), including approximately $2.0 million in deferred underwriting fees.

Each Unit consists of one share of Class A common stock, and one-sixth of one redeemable warrant (or 6,737,242 redeemable warrants in the aggregate, assuming no exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option) (each, a “Detachable Redeemable Warrant”) and a contingent right to receive at least one-sixth of one redeemable warrant following the Initial Business Combination Redemption Time (as defined below) under certain circumstances and subject to adjustments (the “Distributable Redeemable Warrants”). Each Public Warrant (as defined below) entitles the holder to purchase one share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment (see Note 6).

STARBOARD VALUE ACQUISITION CORP.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Company’s Certificate of Incorporation provides that, at the distribution time (as defined below), the Company will effect a distribution of a number of warrants equal to the number of Units issued in the Initial Public Offering multiplied by one-sixth (the “Aggregate Warrant Amount”) as follows: (i) to the extent that no Public Stockholders redeem their Public Shares in connection with the Initial Business Combination, each Public Stockholder will receive one-sixth of one Distributable Redeemable Warrant per Public Share and (ii) to the extent that any Public Stockholders redeem any of their Public Shares in connection with the Initial Business Combination, then (A) one-sixth of one Distributable Redeemable Warrant will be distributed per each Public Share that was not redeemed (the “Remaining Public Shares”) and (B) the warrants in an amount equal to the Aggregate Warrant Amount less the number of warrants distributed pursuant to the foregoing clause (A) will be distributed on a pro rata basis to (x) the holders of the Remaining Public Shares based on their percentage of Class A common stock held after redemptions and the issuance of any forward purchase shares, as Distributable Redeemable Warrants and (y) the holders of the forward purchase shares based on their percentage of Class A common stock held after redemptions and the issuance of any forward purchase shares, as private placement warrants. Public Stockholders who exercise their redemption rights are not entitled to receive any distribution of Distributable Redeemable Warrants in respect of such redeemed Public Shares. The right of any Public Stockholder to receive any additional Distributable Redeemable Warrants with respect to each Public Share they hold is contingent upon such share not being redeemed in connection with the Initial Business Combination. The number of Distributable Redeemable Warrants to be distributed in respect of each share of unredeemed Class A common stock is contingent upon the aggregate number of Public Shares that are redeemed in connection with the Initial Business Combination. The right to receive Distributable Redeemable Warrants will remain attached to the Class A common stock and will not be separately transferable, assignable or salable. The Distributable Redeemable Warrants will be distributed at the “distribution time,” which will be immediately after the Initial Business Combination Redemption Time and immediately before the closing of the Initial Business Combination. The Distributable Redeemable Warrants, together with the Detachable Redeemable Warrants, are collectively referred to herein as the “Public Warrants”. The “Initial Business Combination Redemption Time” means the time at which the Company redeems the shares of Class A common stock that the holders thereof have elected to redeem in connection with the Initial Business Combination, which will occur prior to the consummation of the Initial Business Combination.

Founder Shares

On November 27, 2019, the Sponsor purchased 8,625,000 shares of the Company’s Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Founder Shares”), for an aggregate price of $25,000. In June 2020, the Sponsor transferred (i) 431,250 Founder Shares to Martin D. McNulty, Jr., the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and a member of the board of directors and (ii) 25,000 Founder Shares to each of Pauline J. Brown, Michelle Felman and Lowell Robinson. In July 2020, the Sponsor transferred 25,000 Founder Shares to Robert L. Greene. On September 9, 2020, the Company effected a 1.2:1 share capitalization, resulting in an aggregate of 10,350,000 shares of Class B common stock outstanding. All shares and associated amounts have been retroactively restated to reflect the share capitalization. The Sponsor and the Company’s Chief Executive Officer agreed to forfeit up to 1,350,000 Founder Shares to the extent that the over-allotment option was not exercised in full by the underwriters, so that the Founder Shares would represent 20.0% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares after the Initial Public Offering. On September 23, 2020, upon the underwriters’ partial exercise of the over-allotment, an aggregate of 244,137 Founder Shares were forfeited by the Sponsor and the Company’s Chief Executive Officer.

The Sponsor and the Company’s officers and directors agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of the Founder Shares until (A) one year after the date of the consummation of the Initial Business Combination or (B) subsequent to the Initial Business Combination, (x) if the closing price of the Class A common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the Initial Business Combination, or (y) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of the Public Stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property.

Private Placement Warrants

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the Private Placement of 6,133,333 Private Placement Warrants to the Sponsor, at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $9.2 million. In connection with the underwriters’ partial exercise of their over-allotment option, the Sponsor purchased an additional 589,794 Private Placement Warrants, at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $0.9 million.

Each whole Private Placement Warrant is exercisable for one whole share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants to the Sponsor was added to the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account. If the Company does not complete an Initial Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless. The Private Placement Warrants will be non-redeemable for cash and exercisable on a cashless basis so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees.

The Sponsor has agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Private Placement Warrants until 30 days after the completion of the Initial Business Combination.

Related Party Loans

On November 27, 2019, the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company an aggregate of up to $300,000 to cover expenses related to the Initial Public Offering pursuant to a promissory note (the “Note”). The Note was non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of October 31, 2020 or the completion of the Initial Public Offering. The Company borrowed approximately $141,000 under the Note and fully repaid the Note on September 14, 2020.

In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with an Initial Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes an Initial Business Combination, the Company would repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. In the event that an Initial Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. The Working Capital Loans would either be repaid upon consummation of an Initial Business Combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $1.5 million of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into warrants at a price of $1.50 per warrant. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. Except for the foregoing, the terms of such Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. To date, the Company had no borrowings under the Working Capital Loans.

Administrative Services Agreement

The Company entered into an agreement that provides that, commencing on the date that the securities of the Company are first listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC and continuing until the earlier of the Company’s consummation of an Initial Business Combination or the Company’s liquidation, the Company will pay the Sponsor a total of $10,000 per month for office space, administrative and support services. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company incurred approximately $30,000 for expenses in connection with the Administrative Services Agreement, which is reflected in the accompanying statements of operations. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there was $10,000 payable.

The Sponsor, the Company’s executive officers and directors or any of their respective affiliates will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on the Company’s behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable Initial Business Combinations. The Company’s audit committee will review on a quarterly basis all payments that were made to the Sponsor, officers, directors or their affiliates and will determine which expenses and the amount of expenses that will be reimbursed. There is no cap or ceiling on the reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such persons in connection with activities on the Company’s behalf.

Note 5—Commitments & Contingencies

Forward Purchase Agreement

On September 9, 2020, certain clients of Starboard Value LP, a Delaware limited partnership, which are also the majority-owners of the Sponsor, entered into a forward purchase agreement (the “forward purchase agreement”) with the Company, pursuant to which such clients (the “forward purchasers”) will purchase shares of the Company’s Class A common stock (“forward purchase shares”) at a price equal to $9.50 per share, in a private placement that will close simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Business Combination. At the closing, the forward purchasers will purchase the number of forward purchase shares from the Company that would result in net proceeds in an aggregate amount necessary to satisfy the Redemption Obligation, subject to a maximum funding commitment by the forward purchasers of $100.0 million. In addition, in connection with their purchase of any forward purchase shares, the forward purchasers will acquire private placement warrants at the distribution time. The forward purchasers have agreed that they will not redeem any Class A common stock held by them in connection with the Initial Business Combination. The forward purchase shares are identical to the shares of Class A common stock included in the Units, except that the forward purchase shares are subject to transfer restrictions and certain registration rights, as described herein, and there is no contingent right to receive Distributable Redeemable Warrants attached to the forward purchase shares. Rather, in connection with their purchase of any forward purchase shares, the forward purchasers will acquire private placement warrants.

Optional Share Purchase Agreement

In addition, on September 9, 2020, the Company entered into an agreement with the forward purchasers, pursuant to which the forward purchasers may, at their option in whole or in part, anytime or from time to time during the 6-month period following the closing of the Initial Business Combination, purchase additional common equity of the surviving entity in the Initial Business Combination at a price of  $10.00 per share (or other relevant equity interest) (the “optional shares”) for aggregate consideration not to exceed the difference between (i) $150.0 million and (ii) the lesser of  (a) the Redemption Obligation or (b) $100.0 million (the “optional share purchase agreement”).

Registration Rights

The holders of Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans, if any, (and any shares of Class A common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans and upon conversion of the Founder Shares) are entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement. These holders will be entitled to certain demand and “piggyback” registration rights. However, the registration rights agreement provides that the Company will not permit any registration statement filed under the Securities Act to become effective until the termination of the applicable lock-up period for the securities to be registered. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Pursuant to the forward purchase agreement, the Company has agreed to use its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) within 30 days after the closing of the Initial Business Combination, file a registration statement with the SEC for a secondary offering of the forward purchase shares and any private placement warrants (including the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise thereof) issued to the forward purchasers, (ii) cause such registration statement to be declared effective promptly thereafter, but in no event later than 60 days after such closing and (iii) maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement, until the earlier of  (A) the date on which the forward purchasers cease to hold the securities covered thereby and (B) the date all of the securities covered thereby can be sold publicly without restriction or limitation under Rule 144 under the Securities Act and without the requirement to be in compliance with Rule 144(c)(1) under the Securities Act, subject to certain conditions and limitations set forth in the forward purchase agreement. The Company will bear the costs of registering the forward purchase shares and private placement warrants. The optional share purchase agreement provides that the forward purchasers are entitled to certain registration rights with respect to their optional shares.

Underwriting Agreement

The underwriters were entitled to an underwriting discount of $0.20 per Unit, and were paid approximately $8.1 million in the aggregate, upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of Over-Allotment Units. The underwriters agreed and paid approximately $2.0 million to the Company to reimburse certain of the Company’s expenses in connection with the Initial Public Offering and the sale of Over-Allotment Units.

STARBOARD VALUE ACQUISITION CORP.

An additional fee of $0.45 per Unit, or $18.2 million in the aggregate, will be payable to the underwriters for deferred underwriting commissions. 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 an Initial Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

Deferred Legal Fees

The Company obtained legal advisory service with a legal counsel firm in connection with the Initial Public Offering and agreed to pay the legal counsel firm an amount of $250,000 solely in the event that the Company completes an Initial Business Combination.

Note 6—Warrants Liabilities

As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had 6,737,242 Detachable Redeemable Warrants and 6,723,127 Private Placement Warrants outstanding.

Public Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares. No fractional Public Warrants will be issued upon separation of the Units and only whole Public Warrants will trade. The Public Warrants will become exercisable on the later of  (a) 30 days after the completion of an Initial Business Combination or (b) 12 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering; provided in each case that the Company has an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants and a current prospectus relating to them is available (or the Company permits holders to exercise their Public Warrants on a cashless basis and such cashless exercise is exempt from registration under the Securities Act). The Company has agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15 business days, after the closing of an Initial Business Combination, the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement for the registration, under the Securities Act, of the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants. The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to cause the same to become effective and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement, and a current prospectus relating thereto, until the expiration of the Public Warrants in accordance with the provisions of the warrant agreement. Notwithstanding the above, if the Class A common stock is at the time of any exercise of a warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that it satisfies the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, the Company may, at its option, require holders of Public Warrants who exercise their warrants to do so on a “cashless” basis, and, in the event the Company so elects, the Company will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, but the Company will be required to use its reasonable best efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available. The Public Warrants will expire five years after the completion of an Initial Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants, except that the Private Placement Warrants and the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants will not be transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of an Initial Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions. Additionally, the Private Placement Warrants will be non-redeemable so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by someone other than the Sponsor or its permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants.

Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may call the Public Warrants for redemption:

STARBOARD VALUE ACQUISITION CORP.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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

In addition, commencing 90 days after the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding warrants for shares of Class A common stock (including both Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants):

The exercise price and number of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances, including in the event of a stock dividend, or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. In addition, if  (x) the Company issues additional shares of Class A common stock or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of the Initial Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per share (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by the Company and, (i) in the case of any such issuance to the Sponsor or its affiliates, without taking into account any Founder Shares held by the Sponsor or such affiliates, as applicable, prior to such issuance, and (ii) without taking into account (A) the transfer of Founder Shares or Private Placement Warrants (including if such transfer is effectuated as a surrender to the Company and subsequent reissuance by the Company) by the Sponsor in connection with such issuance) or (B) any private placement warrants issued pursuant to the forward purchase agreement (the “Newly Issued Price”), (y) the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent more than 60% of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available for the funding of the Initial Business Combination on the date of the consummation of the Initial Business Combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of the Class A common stock during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which the Company consummates its Initial Business Combination (such price, the “Market Value”) is below $9.20 per share, the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, and the $18.00 per share redemption trigger price described above will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 180% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price.

In no event will the Company be required to net cash settle any warrant. If the Company is unable to complete an Initial Business Combination within the Combination Period and the Company liquidates the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of warrants will not receive any of such funds with respect to their warrants, nor will they receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with the respect to such warrants. Accordingly, the warrants may expire worthless.

Prior to the Initial Business Combination, only holders of the Company’s Class B common stock will have the right to vote on the election of directors. Holders of the Class A common stock will not be entitled to vote on the election of directors during such time. These provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation may only be amended if approved by the holders of at least 90% of the Company’s common stock entitled to vote thereon. With respect to any other matter submitted to a vote of the Company’s stockholders, including any vote in connection with the Initial Business Combination, except as required by applicable law or stock exchange rule, holders of the Company’s Class A common stock and holders of the Company’s Class B common stock will vote together as a single class, with each share entitling the holder to one vote.

The Class B common stock will automatically convert into Class A common stock at the time of the Initial Business Combination on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment. In the case that additional shares of Class A common stock, or equity-linked securities, are issued or deemed issued in excess of the amounts sold in the Initial Public Offering and related to the closing of the Initial Business Combination (other than the forward purchase shares and the private placement warrants delivered pursuant to the forward purchase agreement), the ratio at which shares of Class B common stock shall convert into shares of Class A common stock will be adjusted (unless the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class B common stock agree to waive such anti-dilution adjustment with respect to any such issuance or deemed issuance) so that the number of shares of Class A common stock issuable upon conversion of all shares of Class B common stock will equal, in the aggregate, on an as-converted basis, 20% of the total number of all shares of common stock outstanding upon completion of the Initial Public Offering plus all shares of Class A common stock and equity-linked securities issued or deemed issued in connection with the Initial Business Combination (net of the number of shares of Class A common stock redeemed in connection with the Initial Business Combination), excluding the forward purchase shares and private placement warrants delivered pursuant to the forward purchase agreement, any shares or equity-linked securities issued, or to be issued, to any seller in the Initial Business Combination and any Private Placement Warrants issued upon the conversion of Working Capital Loans made to the Company.

Note 8—Fair Value Measurements 

The following table presents information about the Company’s assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques that the Company utilized to determine such fair value.

March 31, 2021

⁽¹⁾ Excludes $2,940 of cash held in the Trust Account as of March 31, 2021.

December 31, 2020

⁽¹⁾ Excludes $2,940 of cash held in the Trust Account as of December 31, 2020.

Transfers to/from Levels 1, 2, and 3 are recognized at the end of the reporting period. The estimated fair value of the Public Warrants transferred from a Level 3 measurement to a Level 1 fair value measurement in November 2020, when the Public Warrants were separately listed and traded.

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

The fair value of the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants were initially measured at fair value using a modified Black-Scholes option pricing model and subsequently, the fair value of the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants have been estimated using a modified Black-Scholes option pricing model each measurement date, other than for the Detachable Redeemable Warrants which have been measured based on the listed market price of such warrants, a Level 1 measurement, since November 2020. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company recognized a gain to the statement of operations resulting from a decrease in the fair value of liabilities of $13.0 million presented as change in fair value of derivative warrant liabilities on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations.

STARBOARD VALUE ACQUISITION CORP.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The estimated fair value of the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants, excluding the Detachable Redeemable Warrants after being separately listed and traded, is determined using Level 3 inputs. Inherent in a Black-Scholes option pricing model are assumptions related to expected stock price volatility, expected life, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. The Company estimates the volatility of its warrants based on implied volatility from the Company’s traded warrants and from historical volatility of select peer company’s common stock that matches the expected remaining life of the warrants. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury zero-coupon yield curve on the grant date for a maturity similar to the expected remaining life of the warrants. The expected life of the warrants is assumed to be equivalent to their remaining contractual term. The dividend rate is based on the historical rate, which the Company anticipates remaining at zero. 

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

The change in the fair value of the derivative warrant liabilities for the period for the three months ended March 31, 2021 is summarized as follows:

The following discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto contained elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. Certain information contained in the discussion and analysis set forth below includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

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

Overview

We are a blank check company incorporated in Delaware on November 14, 2019. We were formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the "Initial Business Combination"). We are an emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with emerging growth companies.

Our sponsor is SVAC Sponsor LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”). The registration statements for our initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering”) became effective on September 9, 2020. On September 14, 2020, we consummated our Initial Public Offering of 36,000,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, included in the Units offered, the “Public Shares”) at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $360.0 million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $23.0 million, inclusive of $16.2 million in deferred underwriting commissions. The underwriters were granted a 45-day option from the date of the final prospectus relating to the Initial Public Offering to purchase up to 5,400,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments, if any, at $10.00 per Unit, less underwriting discounts and commissions. On September 18, 2020, the underwriters partially exercised the over-allotment option and on September 23, 2020, purchased an additional 4,423,453 Units (the “Over-Allotment Units”), generating gross proceeds of approximately $44.2 million, and incurred additional offering costs of approximately $2.7 million (net of approximately $221,000 in reimbursement for certain expenses from the underwriters), including approximately $2.0 million in deferred underwriting fees.

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we completed the private sale (the “Private Placement”) of an aggregate of 6,133,333 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) to the Sponsor, at a purchase price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds to us of $9.2 million. In connection with the underwriters’ partial exercise of their over-allotment option, the Sponsor purchased an additional 589,794 Private Placement Warrants, generating gross proceeds to us of approximately $0.9 million.

Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Private Placement and the sale of the Over-Allotment Units and 589,794 additional Private Placement Warrants, $404.2 million ($10.00 per Unit) of the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering, the Private Placement, the Over-Allotment Units and the additional Private Placement Warrants were placed in a trust account (“Trust Account”) located in the United States with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee, and invested only in U.S. “government securities,” within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), with a maturity of 185 days or less, or in money market funds meeting the conditions of paragraphs (d)(2), (d)(3) and (d)(4) of Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act, which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations, as determined by us, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of an Initial Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account as described below.

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

If we are unable to complete an Initial Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering, or September 14, 2022, we will (i) cease all operations, except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to us to pay our franchise and income taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then-outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish the Public Stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining stockholders and our board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to our obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2021, we had approximately $1.9 million in cash and working capital of approximately $1.4 million (not taking into account approximately $52,000 of taxes that may be paid using interest income from the Trust Account).

Our liquidity needs to date have been satisfied through the payment of $25,000 from the Sponsor to purchase shares of the Company’s Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Founder Shares”), the loan under a promissory note from the Sponsor (the “Note”) of approximately $141,000 and the net proceeds from the consummation of the Private Placement not held in the Trust Account. We fully repaid the Note on September 14, 2020. In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with an Initial Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, provide us working capital loans. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there were no working capital loans outstanding.

Based on the foregoing, management believes that we will have sufficient working capital and borrowing capacity to meet our needs through the earlier of the consummation of an Initial Business Combination or one year from this filing. Over this time period, we will be using these funds for paying existing accounts payable, identifying and evaluating prospective Initial Business Combination candidates, performing due diligence on prospective target businesses, paying for travel expenditures, selecting the target business to merge with or acquire, and structuring, negotiating and consummating the Initial Business Combination.

The Company’s management continues to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and has concluded that the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of the financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Proposed Business Combination

On February 21, 2021, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Mundo Merger Sub 1, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub 1”), Mundo Merger Sub 2, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub 2”), Cyxtera Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Cyxtera”), and Mundo Holdings, Inc. (“NewCo”), a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of SIS Holdings LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“Cyxtera Stockholder”), which provides for, among other things, (i) Cyxtera to be contributed to Newco by the Cyxtera Stockholder, with Cyxtera becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Newco, (ii) Merger Sub 1 to be merged with and into NewCo (the “First Merger”), with NewCo surviving the First Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and Merger Sub 1 ceasing to exist, and (iii) immediately following the First Merger, NewCo to be merged with and into Merger Sub 2 (the “Second Merger”, and together with the First Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the “Cyxtera Business Combination”), with Merger Sub 2 surviving the Second Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and NewCo ceasing to exist. As a result of the Cyxtera Business Combination, Cyxtera and the various operating subsidiaries of Cyxtera will become subsidiaries of the Company, with the Cyxtera Stockholder becoming a stockholder of the Company. Upon closing of the Cyxtera Business Combination, the Company will be renamed “Cyxtera Technologies, Inc.” As a consequence of the Cyxtera Business Combination, each issued and outstanding Founder Share will automatically convert into a share of Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis. The Cyxtera Business Combination is expected to close mid-2021, following the receipt of the required approval by the Company’s stockholders and the fulfillment of other customary closing conditions.

In connection with the Merger Agreement, the Cyxtera Stockholder entered into a Stockholder Support Agreement with the Company and Cyxtera (the “Stockholder Support Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, the Cyxtera Stockholder agreed to (i) provide its consent to the adoption of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the mergers and the pre-closing restructuring, and (ii) take all actions necessary or appropriate to contribute its equity securities in Cyxtera to NewCo and otherwise cause the pre-closing restructuring to occur in accordance with the Merger Agreement. In addition, the Cyxtera Stockholder agreed not to transfer any equity securities of Cyxtera or NewCo until the date upon which the Stockholder Support Agreement expires, except as contemplated by the Stockholder Support Agreement. Further, the Sponsor and the other holders of the Founder Shares (together with the Sponsor, the “Insiders”) entered into a Sponsor Support Agreement with the Company and Cyxtera (the “Sponsor Support Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, each Insider agreed to (i) vote all Class A common stock and Class B common stock owned by it, him or her (all such common stock, the “Covered Shares”) in favor of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the mergers, and each other proposal related thereto included on the agenda for the special meeting of stockholders related thereto and (ii) not redeem, or seek to redeem, any Covered Shares owned by it, him or her in connection with the stockholder approval of the Cyxtera Business Combination. In addition, each Insider agreed, subject to certain exceptions, not to transfer, as applicable, any shares of Class B common stock, Private Placement Warrants (or shares of Class A common stock issued or issuable upon the exercise of Private Placement Warrants) or other equity securities of the Company until the date upon which the Sponsor Support Agreement expires. Solely in connection with and only for the purpose of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, each Insider irrevocably and unconditionally waived and agreed not to assert, claim or perfect any rights to adjustment or other anti-dilution protection with respect to the rate that the shares of Class B common stock held by him, her or it converts into Class A common stock pursuant to Section 4.3 of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or any other anti-dilution protections or other adjustment or similar protections that arise in connection with the Cyxtera Business Combination.

In addition, Cyxtera and the forward purchasers (as defined below) entered into a letter agreement related to the optional share purchase agreement (as defined below), pursuant to which letter agreement the forward purchasers agreed not to purchase optional shares (as defined below) in an aggregate amount exceeding $75,000,000 for all forward purchasers.

In connection with the Merger Agreement, the Company also entered into separate subscription agreements, dated February 21, 2021, with certain investors, pursuant to which the Company has agreed to issue and sell, in private placements to close immediately prior to the closing of the Cyxtera Business Combination, an aggregate of 25,000,000 shares of Class A common stock for a purchase price of $10.00 per share and an aggregate purchase price of $250,000,000, of which certain clients of Starboard Value LP have committed to purchase, on the same terms as the other subscribers, an aggregate of 6,000,000 shares of Class A common stock, for a purchase price of $10.00 per share and an aggregate purchase price of $60,000,000.

Results of Operations

Our entire activity since inception up to March 31, 2021 was in preparation for our formation and the Initial Public Offering, and since the closing of the Initial Public Company, the search for a prospective Initial Business Combination. We will not be generating any operating revenues until the closing and completion of our Initial Business Combination.

For the three months ended March 31, 2021, we had net income of approximately $12.0 million, which consisted of approximately $1.0 million in general and administrative expenses, $30,000 in administrative expenses – related party, approximately $50,000 in franchise tax expense, approximately $1,000 in income tax expense, offset by approximately $13.0 million in change in fair value of derivative warrant liabilities, and approximately $58,000 in net gain from investments held in Trust Account.

Contractual Obligations

Forward Purchase Agreement

On September 9, 2020, certain clients of Starboard Value LP, a Delaware limited partnership, which are also the majority-owners of the Sponsor, entered into a forward purchase agreement (the “forward purchase agreement”) with us, pursuant to which such clients (the “forward purchasers”) will purchase shares of our Class A common stock (“forward purchase shares”) at a price equal to $9.50 per share, in a private placement that will close simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Business Combination. At the closing, the forward purchasers will purchase the number of forward purchase shares from us that would result in net proceeds in an aggregate amount necessary to satisfy the aggregate payment obligations resulting from the exercise of redemption rights by holders of the Public Shares in connection with the Initial Business Combination (the “Redemption Obligation”), subject to a maximum funding commitment by the forward purchasers of $100.0 million. In addition, in connection with their purchase of any forward purchase shares, the forward purchasers will acquire private placement warrants at the distribution time. The forward purchasers have agreed that they will not redeem any Class A common stock held by them in connection with the Initial Business Combination. The forward purchase shares are identical to the shares of Class A common stock included in the Units, except that the forward purchase shares are subject to transfer restrictions and certain registration rights, as described herein, and there is no contingent right to receive Distributable Redeemable Warrants attached to the forward purchase shares. Rather, in connection with their purchase of any forward purchase shares, the forward purchasers will acquire private placement warrants.

Optional Share Purchase Agreement

In addition, on September 9, 2020, we entered into an agreement with the forward purchasers, pursuant to which the forward purchasers may, at their option in whole or in part, anytime or from time to time during the 6-month period following the closing of the Initial Business Combination, purchase additional common equity of the surviving entity in the Initial Business Combination at a price of  $10.00 per share (or other relevant equity interest) (the “optional shares”) for aggregate consideration not to exceed the difference between (i) $150.0 million and (ii) the lesser of (a) the Redemption Obligation or (b) $100.0 million (the “optional share purchase agreement”).

Registration Rights

The holders of Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of working capital loans, if any, (and any shares of Class A common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of working capital loans and upon conversion of the Founder Shares) are entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement. These holders will be entitled to certain demand and “piggyback” registration rights. However, the registration rights agreement provides that we will not permit any registration statement filed under the Securities Act to become effective until the termination of the applicable lock-up period for the securities to be registered. We will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Pursuant to the forward purchase agreement, we agreed to use our commercially reasonable efforts to (i) within 30 days after the closing of the Initial Business Combination, file a registration statement with the SEC for a secondary offering of the forward purchase shares and any private placement warrants (including the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise thereof) issued to the forward purchasers, (ii) cause such registration statement to be declared effective promptly thereafter, but in no event later than 60 days after such closing and (iii) maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement, until the earlier of  (A) the date on which the forward purchasers cease to hold the securities covered thereby and (B) the date all of the securities covered thereby can be sold publicly without restriction or limitation under Rule 144 under the Securities Act and without the requirement to be in compliance with Rule 144(c)(1) under the Securities Act, subject to certain conditions and limitations set forth in the forward purchase agreement. We will bear the costs of registering the forward purchase shares and private placement warrants. The optional share purchase agreement provides that the forward purchasers are entitled to certain registration rights with respect to their optional shares.

Underwriting Agreement

The underwriters were entitled to an underwriting discount of $0.20 per Unit, and were paid approximately $8.1 million in the aggregate, upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of Over-Allotment Units. The underwriters agreed and paid approximately $2.0 million to us to reimburse certain of our expenses in connection with the Initial Public Offering and the sale of Over-Allotment Units.

An additional fee of $0.45 per Unit, or $18.2 million in the aggregate, will be payable to the underwriters for deferred underwriting commissions. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that we complete an Initial Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

Deferred Legal Fees

We obtained legal advisory service with a legal counsel firm in connection with the Initial Public Offering and agreed to pay the legal counsel firm an amount of $250,000 solely in the event that we complete an Initial Business Combination.

Critical Accounting Policies

Class A Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption

We account for our Class A common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Shares of Class A common stock subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as liability instruments and are measured at fair value. Shares of conditionally redeemable Class A common stock (including Class A common stock that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within our control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, shares of Class A common stock are classified as stockholders’ equity. Our Class A common stock features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of our control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, 34,815,918 and 33,614,040 shares of Class A common stock subject to possible redemption are presented as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ equity section of our balance sheets.

Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share

We comply with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” Net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. We have not considered the effect of the warrants sold in the Initial Public Offering and Private Placement to purchase an aggregate of 20,197,611 shares of our common stock in the calculation of diluted loss per share, since the average market price of our Class A common stock for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was below the warrants’ $11.50 exercise price. As a result, diluted income per common share is the same as basic net income per common share for the period presented.

Our unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations includes a presentation of income per share for common stock subject to redemption in a manner similar to the two-class method of income per share. Net income per common stock, basic and diluted for Class A common stock are calculated by dividing the interest income earned on investment securities held in the Trust Account, net of applicable taxes available to be withdrawn from the Trust Account, which was approximately $58,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021, by the weighted average number of Class A common stock outstanding for the period. Net income per common stock, basic and diluted for Class B common stock is calculated by dividing the net income of approximately $12.0 million, less income attributable to Class A common stock, by the weighted average number of Class B common stock outstanding for the period.

At March 31, 2021, we did not have any dilutive securities and other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into shares of common stock and then share in our earnings. As a result, diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss per share for the periods presented.

Derivative Liabilities

We do not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. We evaluate all of our financial instruments, including issued stock purchase warrants, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives, pursuant to ASC 480 and ASC 815-15. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period.

The 6,737,242 detachable redeemable warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering and the 6,723,127 Private Placement Warrants are recognized as derivative liabilities in accordance with ASC 815-40. We will also be distributing warrants (which will be in the form of distributable redeemable warrants and, to the extent any public stockholders redeem Class A common stock in connection with the Initial Business Combination, distributable redeemable warrants and Private Placement Warrants) to purchase 6,737,242 shares of our Class A common stock in connection with the closing of the Initial Business Combination. All of the outstanding warrants and distributable warrants are recognized as derivative liabilities in accordance with ASC 815-40. Accordingly, we recognize the warrant instruments as liabilities at fair value and adjust the instruments to fair value at each reporting period. The liabilities are subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in our statement of operations. The fair value of warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering and Private Placement, and the distributable redeemable warrants, were initially measured at fair value using a modified Black-Scholes option pricing model.

We entered into a forward purchase agreement with forward purchasers pursuant to which the forward purchasers will purchase forward purchase shares at a price equal to $9.50 per share, in a private placement that will close simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Business Combination. At the closing, the forward purchasers will purchase the number of forward purchase shares from us that would result in net proceeds in an aggregate amount necessary to satisfy the Redemption Obligation, subject to a maximum funding commitment by the forward purchasers of $100,000,000. The forward purchase agreement is recognized as a derivative liability in accordance with ASC 815-40. Accordingly, we recognize the instrument as a liability at fair value and adjust the instrument to fair value at each reporting period. 

Recent Issued Accounting Standards

In August 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (the “ASU”) No. 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity, which simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current GAAP. The ASU also removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity-linked contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception and it also simplifies the diluted earnings per share calculation in certain areas. We early adopted the ASU on January 1, 2021. Adoption of the ASU did not impact our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

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

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of March 31, 2021, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K.

JOBS Act

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

Additionally, we are in the process of evaluating the benefits of relying on the other reduced reporting requirements provided by the JOBS Act. Subject to certain conditions set forth in the JOBS Act, if, as an “emerging growth company,” we choose to rely on such exemptions we may not be required to, among other things, (i) provide an auditor’s attestation report on our system of internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, (ii) provide all of the compensation disclosure that may be required of non-emerging growth public companies under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, (iii) comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (auditor discussion and analysis) and (iv) disclose certain executive compensation related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the chief executive officer’s compensation to median employee compensation. These exemptions will apply for a period of five years following the completion of our Initial Public Offering or until we are no longer an “emerging growth company,” whichever is earlier.

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

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls are procedures that are designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this Quarterly Report, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time period specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management evaluated, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer (our “Certifying Officers”), the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2021, pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, our Certifying Officers concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2021, due solely to the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting described below in “Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.” In light of this material weakness, we performed additional analysis as deemed necessary to ensure that our financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, management believes that the financial statements included in this Quarterly Report present fairly in all material respects our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the period presented.

We do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all instances of fraud. Disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Further, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all disclosure controls and procedures, no evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures can provide absolute assurance that we have detected all our control deficiencies and instances of fraud, if any. The design of disclosure controls and procedures also is based partly on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended 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.

Our internal control over financial reporting did not result in the proper classification of our warrants. Since issuance in September 2020, our warrants were accounted for as equity within our balance sheet. On April 12, 2021, the SEC staff issued a statement in which the SEC staff expressed its view that certain terms and conditions common to SPAC warrants may require the warrants to be classified as liabilities on the SPAC’s balance sheet as opposed to equity. After discussion and evaluation, taking into consideration the statement of the SEC staff, including with our independent auditors, we have concluded that our warrants should be presented as liabilities with subsequent fair value remeasurement.

To respond to this material weakness, we have devoted, and plan to continue to devote, significant effort and resources to the remediation and improvement of our internal control over financial reporting for instruments that have an equity and liability component. While we have processes to identify and appropriately apply applicable accounting requirements, we plan to enhance our system of evaluating and implementing the complex accounting standards that apply to our financial statements. Our plans at this time include providing enhanced access to accounting literature, research materials and documents and increased communication among our personnel and third-party professionals with whom we consult regarding complex accounting applications. The elements of our remediation plan can only be accomplished over time, and we can offer no assurance that these initiatives will ultimately have the intended effects.
