9A. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure
controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our
reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified
in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed
to ensure that information required to be disclosed in company reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated
to management, including our Chief Executive Officer (who serves as our principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (who
serves as our principal financial and accounting officer), to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As
required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation
of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2020.
Based
on its initial evaluation, management concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2020 were
effective. Subsequently, on May 10, 2021 and November 22, 2021, in connection with the restatements discussed in Note 2 “Restatement
of Previously Issued Financial Statements” to the financial statements included herein, under the supervision and with the participation
of the Certifying Officers, management reevaluated the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2020. During
each of its reevaluations, management identified a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting that resulted in (i)
reclassifying the warrants as derivative liabilities in its previously issued financial statements and (ii) reclassifying of all of the
Class A common stock as temporary equity.
On
May 10, 2021, the audit committee authorized management to restate its audited financial statements for the annual year ended December
31, 2020. Accordingly, management concluded that the control deficiency that resulted in classifying the warrants as equity instead of
liability constituted a material weakness as of December 31, 2020. As a result of this material weakness, management revised its earlier
assessment and concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2020, resulting
in the filing of the First Amended Report.
On
November 22, 2021, the audit committee authorized management to restate its audited financial statements for the annual year ended
December 31, 2020. Accordingly, management concluded that the control deficiency that resulted in not classifying all of the Class A
common stock as temporary equity constituted a material weakness as of December 31, 2020. As a result of this material weakness, management
revised its earlier assessment and concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December
31, 2020, resulting in the filing of this Second Amended Report. The Company will also restate its unaudited condensed financial statements
for the periods ended March 31, 2021, June 30, 2021, and September 30, 2021 in Amendment No. 1 to its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for
the quarterly period ended September 30, 2021, to be filed with the SEC.
Remediation
Plan
To
remediate the material weaknesses surrounding the presentation of the Company’s warrants as equity instead of liability and its
accounting classification of the redeemable Class A common stock, the Company has reviewed these internal controls and enhanced the supervisory
review of accounting procedures in this financial reporting area. All necessary revisions are properly reflected in Note 2 “Restatement
of Previously Issued Financial Statements” to the financial statements included herein.
Management’s
Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
This
Annual Report on Form 10-K does not include a report of management’s assessment regarding internal control over financial reporting
or an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm due to a transition period established by rules of the
SEC for newly public companies.
Changes
in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During
the most recently completed fiscal quarter, there were no change in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially
affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. However, as described above,
management did implement changes in internal control over financial reporting during second quarter of 2021 designed to remediate a material
weakness solely related to the presentation of the Company’s warrants as equity instead of liability.

Number
and Terms of Office of Officers and Directors
Our
board of directors is divided into three classes with only one class of directors being elected in each year and each class (except for
those directors appointed prior to our first annual meeting of stockholders) serving a three-year term. In accordance with Nasdaq corporate
governance requirements, we are not required to hold an annual meeting until one year after our first fiscal year end following our listing
on Nasdaq. The term of office of the first class of directors, consisting of Mr. Messman, will expire at our first annual meeting of
stockholders. The term of office of the second class of directors, consisting of Messrs. Flett and Licht, will expire at the second annual
meeting of stockholders. The term of office of the third class of directors, consisting of Messrs. Travers and Burdiek, will expire at
the third annual meeting of stockholders.
Our
officers are appointed by the board of directors and serve at the discretion of the board of directors, rather than for specific terms
of office. Our board of directors is authorized to appoint persons to the offices set forth in our bylaws as it deems appropriate. Our
bylaws provide that our officers may consist of a Chairman or Co-Chairmen of the Board, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer,
President, Vice Presidents, Secretary, Treasurer, Assistant Secretaries and such other offices as may be determined by the board of directors.
Committees
of the Board of Directors
Our
board has three standing committees: an audit committee, a compensation committee and a nominating committee. Subject to phase-in rules
and a limited exception, which we are not taking advantage of, Nasdaq rules and Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act require that the audit
committee of a listed company be comprised solely of independent directors, and Nasdaq rules require that the compensation committee
of a listed company be comprised solely of independent directors.
An
“independent director” is defined generally as a person other than an officer or employee of the company or its subsidiaries
or any other individual having a relationship, which, in the opinion of the company’s board of directors, would interfere with
the director’s exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. We have determined that Messrs.
Flett, Licht, and Messman are independent directors under the Nasdaq rules and Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act. Our independent directors
have regularly scheduled meetings at which only independent directors are present.
Audit
Committee
Effective
as of October 14, 2020, we established an audit committee of our board of directors. Messrs. Flett, Licht and Messman serve as members
of our audit committee, and Mr. Messman chairs the audit committee. Under the Nasdaq listing standards and applicable SEC rules, we are
required to have at least three members of the audit committee, all of whom must be independent, subject to certain phase-in provisions
which we are not utilizing. Each of Messrs. Flett, Licht and Messman meet the independent director standard under Nasdaq listing standards
and under Rule 10-A-3(b)(1) of the Exchange Act.
Each
member of the audit committee is financially literate and our board has determined that Mr. Messman qualifies as an “audit committee
financial expert” as defined in applicable SEC rules.
The
principal functions of the audit committee, include:
● the
appointment, compensation, retention, replacement, and oversight of the work of the independent
auditors and any other independent registered public accounting firm engaged by us;
● pre-approving
all audit and permitted non-audit services to be provided by the independent auditors or
any other registered public accounting firm engaged by us, and establishing pre-approval
policies and procedures;
● reviewing
and discussing with the independent auditors all relationships the auditors have with us
in order to evaluate their continued independence;
● setting
clear hiring policies for employees or former employees of the independent auditors;
● setting
clear policies for audit partner rotation in compliance with applicable laws and regulations;
46
● obtaining
and reviewing a report, at least annually, from the independent auditors describing (i) the
independent auditor’s internal quality-control procedures and (ii) any material issues
raised by the most recent internal quality-control review, or peer review, of the audit firm,
or by any inquiry or investigation by governmental or professional authorities within the
preceding five years respecting one or more independent audits carried out by the firm and
any steps taken to deal with such issues;
● reviewing
and approving any related party transaction required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404
of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC prior to us entering into such transaction; and
● reviewing
with management, the independent auditors, and our legal advisors, as appropriate, any legal,
regulatory or compliance matters, including any correspondence with regulators or government
agencies and any employee complaints or published reports that raise material issues regarding
our financial statements or accounting policies and any significant changes in accounting
standards or rules promulgated by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, the SEC or other
regulatory authorities.
During
the period from August 11, 2020 (inception) through December 30, 2020, our Audit Committee held one meeting.
Compensation
Committee
Effective
as of October 14, 2020, we established a compensation committee of our board of directors, and Messrs. Flett, Licht and Messman have
been appointed to serve as members of this committee. Under the Nasdaq listing standards and applicable SEC rules, we are required to
have at least two members of the compensation committee, both of whom must be independent, subject to certain phase-in provisions which
we are not taking advantage of. Messrs. Flett, Licht and Messman all meet the independent director standard under Nasdaq listing standards
applicable to members of the compensation committee.
The
principal functions of the compensation committee, as set forth in the committee’s charter, include:
● reviewing
and approving on an annual basis the corporate goals and objectives relevant to our Chief
Executive Officer’s compensation, evaluating our Chief Executive Officer’s performance
in light of such goals and objectives and determining and approving the remuneration (if
any) of our Chief Executive Officer based on such evaluation;
● reviewing
and approving on an annual basis the compensation of all of our other officers;
● reviewing
on an annual basis our executive compensation policies and plans;
● implementing
and administering our incentive compensation equity-based remuneration plans;
● assisting
management in complying with our proxy statement and annual report disclosure requirements;
● approving
all special perquisites, special cash payments and other special compensation and benefit
arrangements for our officers and employees;
● if
required, producing a report on executive compensation to be included in our annual proxy
statement; and
● reviewing,
evaluating and recommending changes, if appropriate, to the remuneration for directors.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, as indicated above, other than reimbursement of expenses, no compensation of any kind, including finders, consulting or
other similar fees, will be paid to any of our officers, directors or any of their respective affiliates for services rendered prior
to or in connection with the completion of our initial business combination.
The
charter also provides that the compensation committee may, in its sole discretion, retain or obtain the advice of a compensation consultant,
legal counsel or other adviser and will be directly responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the work of any such
adviser. However, before engaging or receiving advice from a compensation consultant, external legal counsel or any other adviser, the
compensation committee will consider the independence of each such adviser, including the factors required by Nasdaq and the SEC.
During
the period from August 11, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2020, our Compensation Committee did not hold any meetings.
47
Nominating
Committee
Effective
as of October 14, 2020, we established a nominating committee of our board of directors, and Messrs. Flett, Licht and Messman have been
appointed to serve as members of this committee, all of whom are independent in accordance with Nasdaq regulations. The primary purpose
of our nominating committee is to assist the board in identifying, screening and reviewing individuals qualified to serve as directors
and recommending to the board of directors candidates for nomination for election at the annual meeting of stockholders or to fill vacancies
on the board of directors. The nominating governance committee is governed by a charter that complies with Nasdaq rules.
During
the period from August 11, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2020, our Nominating Committee did not hold any meetings.
Director
Nominations
In
addition to director candidates recommended by our nominating committee, the board of directors will also consider director candidates
recommended for nomination by our stockholders during such times as they are seeking proposed nominees to stand for election at the next
annual meeting of stockholders (or, if applicable, a special meeting of stockholders). Our stockholders that wish to nominate a director
for election to our board of directors should follow the procedures set forth in our bylaws.
We
have not formally established any specific, minimum qualifications that must be met or skills that are necessary for directors to possess.
In general, in identifying and evaluating nominees for director, our board of directors considers educational background, diversity of
professional experience, knowledge of our business, integrity, professional reputation, independence, wisdom, and the ability to represent
the best interests of our stockholders.
Code
of Ethics
We
have adopted a Code of Ethics applicable to our directors, officers and employees. We have previously filed a copy of our Code of Ethics
and our audit, compensation and nominating committee charters as exhibits to the registration statement in connection with our Initial
Public Offering. You may review these documents by accessing our public filings at the SEC’s web site at www.sec.gov .
In addition, a copy of the Code of Ethics will be provided without charge by us upon request.
Item
11. Executive Compensation
None
of our officers or directors has received any cash compensation for services rendered to us, and no compensation of any kind, including
finder’s and consulting fees, will be paid by us to our officers, directors, or any of their respective affiliates, for services
rendered prior to or in connection with the completion of our initial business combination. However, these individuals will be reimbursed
for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on our behalf.
After
the completion of our initial business combination, directors or members of our management team who remain with us may be paid consulting
or management fees from the combined company. All of these fees will be fully disclosed to stockholders, to the extent then known, in
the proxy solicitation materials or tender offer documents furnished to our stockholders in connection with a proposed initial business
combination. We have not established any limit on the amount of such fees that may be paid by the combined company to our directors or
members of management. It is unlikely the amount of such compensation will be known at the time of the proposed initial business combination,
because the directors of the post-combination business will be responsible for determining officer and director compensation. Any compensation
to be paid to our officers will be determined, or recommended to the board of directors for determination, either by a compensation committee
constituted solely by independent directors or by a majority of the independent directors on our board of directors.
Since
our formation, we have not granted any stock options or stock appreciation rights or any other awards under long-term incentive plans
to any of our executive officers or directors.
Following
our initial business combination, to the extent we deem it necessary, we may seek to recruit additional managers to supplement the incumbent
management team of the target business. We cannot assure you that we will have the ability to recruit additional managers, or that additional
managers will have the requisite skills, knowledge or experience necessary to enhance the target’s incumbent management team.

13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence
Founder
Shares
In
August 2020, 3,737,500 Founder Shares were issued to our Sponsor, Motion Acquisition LLC, in exchange for a capital contribution of $25,000,
or approximately $0.007 per share. In October 2020, our Sponsor surrendered 431,250 Founders Shares for no consideration, which resulted
in the total number of Founders Shares outstanding decreasing to 3,306,250. In November 2020, an additional 431,250 Founders Shares were
forfeited by the Sponsor and were canceled by the Company as a result of the underwriter waiving its over-allotment option for our Initial
Public Offering. As a result of this forfeiture and cancellation, there are 2,875,000 Founders Shares currently outstanding, which represent
20.0% of the total number of common shares issued and outstanding.
Private
Placement Warrants
Concurrent
with the closing of our Initial Public Offering on October 19, 2020, the Sponsor purchased a total of 2,533,333 Private Placement Warrants
for a purchase price of $1.50 per warrant, of $3,800,000 in the aggregate, in a private placement. Each Private Placement Warrant entitles
the holder to purchase one share of our Class A common stock at $11.50 per share. The Private Placement Warrants (including the Class
A common stock issuable upon exercise thereof) may not, subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferred, assigned or sold by the
holder until 30 days after the completion of our initial business combination.

the consummation of our Initial Public Offering, our only sources of liquidity were the $25,000 proceeds from the sale of Founder Shares
to our Sponsor and a loan from our Sponsor of approximately $71,000 to cover certain Initial Public Offering costs and operating expenses.
On October 19, 2020, we repaid the loan from our Sponsor in full.
In
addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial business combination, our Sponsor or certain of
our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. If we complete an initial business combination,
we would repay such loaned amounts. In the event that our initial business combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working
capital held outside the Trust Account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from our Trust Account would be used for such repayment.
Except as may be precluded by the terms of a business combination definitive agreement, up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible
into warrants at a price of $1.50 per warrant at the option of the lender. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants,
including as to exercise price, exercisability and exercise period. Except as set forth above, the terms of such loans by our officers
and directors, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. Prior to the completion of
our initial business combination, we do not expect to seek loans from parties other than our Sponsor or an affiliate of our Sponsor as
we do not believe third parties will be willing to loan such funds and provide a waiver against any and all rights to seek access to
funds in our Trust Account.
Limitation
on Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors
Our
amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that our officers and directors will be indemnified by us to the fullest extent
authorized by Delaware law, as it now exists or may in the future be amended. In addition, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation
provides that our directors will not be personally liable for monetary damages to us or our stockholders for breaches of their fiduciary
duty as directors, unless they violated their duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders, acted in bad faith, knowingly or intentionally
violated the law, authorized unlawful payments of dividends, unlawful stock purchases or unlawful redemptions, or derived an improper
personal benefit from their actions as directors.
We
have entered into agreements with our officers and directors to provide contractual indemnification in addition to the indemnification
provided for in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation. Our bylaws also permit us to secure insurance on behalf of any
officer, director or employee for any liability arising out of his or her actions, regardless of whether Delaware law would permit such
indemnification. We have purchased a policy of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance that insures our officers and
directors against the cost of defense, settlement or payment of a judgment in some circumstances and insures us against our obligations
to indemnify our officers and directors. Except with respect to any Public Shares they acquired in our Initial Public Offering or thereafter
(in the event we do not consummate an initial business combination), our officers and directors have agreed to waive (and any other persons
who may become an officer or director prior to the initial business combination will also be required to waive) any right, title, interest
or claim of any kind in or to any monies in the Trust Account, and not to seek recourse against the Trust Account for any reason whatsoever,
including with respect to such indemnification.
50
These
provisions may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against our directors for breach of their fiduciary duty. These provisions
also may have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against officers and directors, even though such an action,
if successful, might otherwise benefit us and our stockholders. Furthermore, a stockholder’s investment may be adversely affected
to the extent we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against officers and directors pursuant to these indemnification provisions.
We
believe that these provisions, the directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and the indemnity agreements are necessary
to attract and retain talented and experienced officers and directors.
Related
Party Transaction Policy
Prior
to the consummation of our Initial Public Offering, we adopted a code of ethics requiring us to avoid, wherever possible, all conflicts
of interests, except under guidelines or resolutions approved by our board of directors (or the appropriate committee of our board) or
as disclosed in our public filings with the SEC. Under our code of ethics, conflict of interest situations include any financial transaction,
arrangement or relationship (including any indebtedness or guarantee of indebtedness) involving the Company.
In
addition, our audit committee, pursuant to a written charter that we adopted prior to the consummation of our Initial Public Offering,
is responsible for reviewing and approving related party transactions to the extent that we enter into such transactions. An affirmative
vote of a majority of the members of the audit committee present at a meeting at which a quorum is present is required in order to approve
a related party transaction. A majority of the members of the entire audit committee constitutes a quorum. Without a meeting, the unanimous
written consent of all of the members of the audit committee is required to approve a related party transaction. We also require each
of our directors and executive officers to complete a directors’ and officers’ questionnaire that elicits information about
related party transactions.
These
procedures are intended to determine whether any such related party transaction impairs the independence of a director or presents a
conflict of interest on the part of a director, employee or officer.
Registration
Rights
The
holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of working capital loans (and
any shares of Class A common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon
conversion of working capital loans and upon conversion of the Founder Shares) will be entitled to registration rights pursuant to a
registration rights agreement, dated October 14, 2020, requiring us to register such securities for resale (in the case of the Founder
Shares, only after conversion to our Class A common stock). The holders of these securities, having a value of at least $25 million
in the aggregate, are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that we register such securities. In addition,
the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to our
completion of our initial business combination and rights to require us to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under
the Securities Act. However, the registration rights agreement provides that we will not permit any registration statement filed under
the Securities Act to become effective until termination of the applicable lock-up period, which occurs (a) in the case of the Founder
Shares, on the earlier of (A) one year after the completion of our initial business combination or (B) subsequent to our business combination,
(i) if the last sale price of our 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 our initial business combination or (ii) the date on which we complete a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange, reorganization
or other similar transaction that results in all of our stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash,
securities or other property and (b) in the case of the Private Placement Warrants and the respective Class A common stock underlying
such warrants, 30 days after the completion of our initial business combination. We will bear the expenses incurred in connection with
the filing of any such registration statements.
Director
Independence
Nasdaq
listing standards require that a majority of our board of directors be independent. An “independent director” is defined
generally as a person other than an officer or employee of the company or its subsidiaries or any other individual having a relationship
which, in the opinion of the company’s board of directors, would interfere with the director’s exercise of independent judgment
in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. Our board of directors has determined that Andrew Flett, Mark Licht and Kyle Messman,
who constitute a majority of board, are “independent directors” as defined in the Nasdaq listing standards and applicable
SEC rules.

Policy
on Board Pre-Approval of Audit and Permissible Non-Audit Services of the Independent Auditors
Our
audit committee was formed upon the consummation of our Initial Public Offering. As a result, the audit committee did not pre-approve
all of the foregoing services, although any services rendered prior to the formation of our audit committee were approved by our board
of directors. Since the formation of our audit committee, and on a going-forward basis, the audit committee has and will pre-approve
all auditing services and permitted non-audit services to be performed for us by our auditors, including the fees and terms thereof (subject
to the de minimis exceptions for non-audit services described in the Exchange Act which are approved by the audit committee prior to
the completion of the audit).
