−Removed: specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.
−Removed: Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures
−Removed: designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in company reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated
−Removed: and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding
−Removed: required disclosure.
−Removed: required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out
−Removed: an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2019.
−Removed: Based upon their evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and
−Removed: procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were effective.
+Added: Evaluation of Disclosure
+Added: Controls and Procedures
+Added: Based on our management’s
+Added: evaluation (with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer) of the effectiveness of
+Added: our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the
+Added: “Exchange Act”), our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have concluded that, as of December
+Added: 31, 2020, in light of the material weaknesses described below, certain of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in
+Added: Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were not effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed
+Added: in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods
+Added: specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management as appropriate
+Added: to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure as of December 31, 2020.
+Added: See the material weaknesses discussed below in
+Added: Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting.
+Added: Management’s
+Added: Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
+Added: Our management is
+Added: responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal controls over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f)
+Added: under the Exchange Act.
+Added: Based on our management’s evaluation (with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer
+Added: and Principal Financial Officer), of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting as of December 31,
+Added: 2020, which was based on the framework in the Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations
+Added: of the Treadway Commission, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have concluded that, as of December
+Added: 31, 2020, in light of the material weaknesses described below, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective
+Added: as of December 31, 2020.
+Added: As a result of the
+Added: assessment described above, we identified control deficiencies that constitute material weaknesses in the design and operation
+Added: of our internal control over financial reporting.
+Added: A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal
+Added: control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s
+Added: annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
+Added: The following material
+Added: weaknesses, which were discovered to be material during 2020, were present at December 31, 2020:
+Added: (a) segregation of duties (resulting
+Added: from the small number of individuals performing the accounting functions), including the lack of a formal journal entry review
+Added: and approval process;
+Added: and (b) the design and operation of our information technology general controls.
+Added: During 2020, we also
+Added: had a material weakness in our overall closing and financial reporting processes, including accounting for significant and unusual
+Added: transactions.
+Added: Of these, we consider the last material weakness mentioned to have been fully remediated with the hiring of additional
+Added: internal legal and accounting personnel.
+Added: Our remediation plans regarding the remaining two material weaknesses are addressed below.
+Added: To remediate the
+Added: remaining material weaknesses described above, we are implementing and/or plan to implement the following:
+Added: alleviate the information technology controls issue, the Company plans to implement NetSuite,
+Added: an Oracle cloud-based ERP and financial solution.
+Added: This solution will allow personnel
+Added: to implement workflow controls.
+Added: To alleviate the segregation of duties issue, the Company plans to leverage NetSuite configuration and workflow while expanding the accounting team and reviewing roles;
+Added: To alleviate the lack of a formal journal entry review and approval process, the Company will be implementing workflow steps within NetSuite to ensue all journal entries are approved before posting to the general ledger.
+Added: When fully implemented
+Added: and operational, we believe the measures described above will remediate the remaining material weaknesses we have identified and
+Added: strengthen our internal control over financial reporting, however, the material weakness will not be considered remediated until
+Added: management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are effective.
+Added: Notwithstanding the identified material weaknesses,
+Added: management believes that the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K present fairly, in all
+Added: material respects, our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows as of and for the periods presented in accordance

−Removed: Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that we renounce our interest in any corporate opportunity offered
−Removed: to any director or officer unless such opportunity is expressly offered to such person solely in his or her capacity as a director
−Removed: or officer of our company and such opportunity is one we are legally and contractually permitted to undertake and would otherwise
−Removed: be reasonable for us to pursue.
−Removed: Our Sponsor, officers and directors may become
−Removed: involved with subsequent blank check companies similar to our company, although they have agreed, pursuant to a written letter
−Removed: agreement, not to participate in the formation of, or become an officer or director of, any other blank check company until we
−Removed: have entered into a definitive agreement regarding our initial business combination or we have failed to complete our initial business
−Removed: combination within 24 months after the closing of our Initial Public Offering.
−Removed: Investors and potential investors should also
−Removed: be aware of the following other potential conflicts of interest:
−Removed: ● None of our officers or directors is required to commit
−Removed: his or her full time to our affairs and, accordingly, may have conflicts of interest in allocating his or her time among various
−Removed: business activities.
−Removed: ● In the course of their other business activities, our
−Removed: officers and directors may become aware of investment and business opportunities which may be appropriate for presentation to
−Removed: us as well as the other entities with which they are affiliated.
−Removed: Our management may have conflicts of interest in determining
−Removed: to which entity a particular business opportunity should be presented.
−Removed: ● Our initial stockholders have agreed to waive their redemption
−Removed: rights with respect to any Founder Shares and any public shares held by them in connection with the consummation of our initial
−Removed: business combination.
−Removed: Additionally, our initial stockholders have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to any
−Removed: Founder Shares held by them if we fail to consummate our initial business combination within 24 months after the closing
−Removed: of our Initial Public Offering.
−Removed: If we do not complete our initial business combination within such applicable time period, the
−Removed: proceeds of the sale of the Private Placement Warrants held in the Trust Account will be used to fund the redemption of our public
−Removed: shares, and the Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless.
−Removed: Furthermore, our initial stockholders have agreed not to transfer,
−Removed: assign or sell any Founder Shares held by them until one year after the date of the consummation of our initial business combination
−Removed: or earlier if, subsequent to our initial business combination, (i) the last sale price of our Class A common stock equals or exceeds
−Removed: $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading
−Removed: days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after our initial business combination or (ii) we consummate
−Removed: a subsequent liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of our stockholders having
−Removed: the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property.
−Removed: With certain limited exceptions, the
−Removed: Private Placement Warrants and the Class A common stock underlying such warrants will not be transferable, assignable or saleable
−Removed: until 30 days after the completion of our initial business combination.
−Removed: Since our Sponsor and officers and directors directly
−Removed: or indirectly own common stock and warrants, our officers and directors may have a conflict of interest in determining whether
−Removed: a particular target business is an appropriate business with which to effectuate our initial business combination.
−Removed: ● Our officers and directors may have a conflict of interest
−Removed: with respect to evaluating a particular business combination if the retention or resignation of any such officers and directors
−Removed: was included by a target business as a condition to any agreement with respect to our initial business combination.
−Removed: ● Our Sponsor, officers or directors may have a conflict
−Removed: of interest with respect to evaluating a business combination and financing arrangements as we may obtain loans from our Sponsor
−Removed: or an affiliate of our Sponsor or any of our officers or directors to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended
−Removed: initial business combination.
−Removed: Up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant
−Removed: at the option of the lender.
−Removed: Such warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants, including as to exercise price,
−Removed: exercisability and exercise period.
−Removed: The conflicts described above may not be
−Removed: resolved in our favor.
−Removed: In general, officers and directors of a corporation
−Removed: incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware are required to present business opportunities to a corporation if:
−Removed: ● the corporation could financially undertake the opportunity;
−Removed: ● the opportunity is within the corporation’s line
−Removed: ● it would not be fair to our company and its stockholders
−Removed: for the opportunity not to be brought to the attention of the corporation.
−Removed: Accordingly, as a result of multiple business
−Removed: affiliations, our officers and directors may have similar legal obligations relating to presenting business opportunities meeting
−Removed: the above-listed criteria to multiple entities.
−Removed: Furthermore, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides
−Removed: that the doctrine of corporate opportunity will not apply with respect to any of our officers or directors in circumstances where
−Removed: the application of the doctrine would conflict with any fiduciary duties or contractual obligations they may have.
−Removed: We are not prohibited from pursuing an initial
−Removed: business combination with a company that is affiliated with our Sponsor, officers or directors or making the acquisition through
−Removed: a joint venture or other form of shared ownership with our Sponsor, officers or directors.
−Removed: In the event we seek to complete our
−Removed: initial business combination with a business combination target that is affiliated with our Sponsor, officers or directors, we,
−Removed: or a committee of independent directors, would obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking firm which is a member
−Removed: of FINRA or from an independent accounting firm that such initial business combination is fair to our company from a financial
−Removed: point of view.
−Removed: We are not required to obtain such an opinion in any other context.
−Removed: Furthermore, in no event will our Sponsor or
−Removed: any of our existing officers or directors, or any of their respective affiliates, be paid by the company any finder’s fee,
−Removed: consulting fee or other compensation prior to, or for any services they render in order to effectuate, the completion of our initial
−Removed: business combination.
−Removed: Further, we pay an amount equal to $10,000 per month to our Sponsor for office space, utilities, secretarial
−Removed: support and administrative services provided to us.
−Removed: On March 29, 2019, our Sponsor assigned all of its rights, interests and obligations
−Removed: under the administrative services agreement to Tortoise Capital Advisors, L.L.C.
−Removed: We cannot assure you that any of the above
−Removed: mentioned conflicts will be resolved in our favor.
−Removed: In the event that we submit our initial business
−Removed: combination to our public stockholders for a vote, we will complete our initial business combination only if a majority of the
−Removed: outstanding shares of common stock voted are voted in favor of the initial business combination.
−Removed: Our initial stockholders have
−Removed: agreed to vote any Founder Shares held by them and any public shares held by them in favor of our initial business combination,
−Removed: and our officers and directors have also agreed to vote any public shares held by them in favor of our initial business combination.
−Removed: Limitation on Liability and Indemnification
−Removed: of Officers and Directors
−Removed: Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation
−Removed: provides that our officers and directors will be indemnified by us to the fullest extent authorized by Delaware law, as it now
−Removed: exists or may in the future be amended.
−Removed: In addition, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that our directors
−Removed: will not be personally liable for monetary damages to us or our stockholders for breaches of their fiduciary duty as directors,
−Removed: unless they violated their duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders, acted in bad faith, knowingly or intentionally violated the
−Removed: law, authorized unlawful payments of dividends, unlawful stock purchases or unlawful redemptions, or derived an improper personal
−Removed: benefit from their actions as directors.
−Removed: We have entered into agreements with our
−Removed: officers and directors to provide contractual indemnification in addition to the indemnification provided for in our amended and
−Removed: restated certificate of incorporation.
−Removed: Our bylaws also permit us to secure insurance on behalf of any officer, director or employee
−Removed: for any liability arising out of his or her actions, regardless of whether Delaware law would permit such indemnification.
−Removed: Our officers and directors have agreed, and
−Removed: any persons who may become officers or directors prior to the initial business combination will agree, to waive any right, title,
−Removed: interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies in the Trust Account, and to waive any right, title, interest or claim of any
−Removed: kind they may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any services provided to us and will not seek recourse against
−Removed: the Trust Account for any reason whatsoever.
−Removed: Accordingly, any indemnification provided will only be able to be satisfied by us
−Removed: if (i) we have sufficient funds outside of the Trust Account or (ii) we consummate an initial business combination.
−Removed: Our indemnification obligations may discourage
−Removed: stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against our officers or directors for breach of their fiduciary duty.
−Removed: These provisions also
−Removed: may have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against our officers and directors, even though such an
−Removed: action, if successful, might otherwise benefit us and our stockholders.
−Removed: Furthermore, a stockholder’s investment may be adversely
−Removed: affected to the extent we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against our officers and directors pursuant to these indemnification
−Removed: We believe that these provisions, the insurance
−Removed: and the indemnity agreements are necessary to attract and retain talented and experienced officers and directors.
+Added: As discussed above,
+Added: we are implementing certain measures to remediate the material weaknesses identified in the design and operation of our internal
+Added: control over financial reporting.
+Added: Other than those measures, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial
+Added: reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended December
+Added: 31, 2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
−Removed: None of our officers or directors have received
−Removed: any cash compensation for services rendered to us.
−Removed: Commencing on the date that our securities were first listed on the NYSE through
−Removed: the earlier of consummation of our initial business combination and our liquidation, we have agreed to pay our Sponsor (or an affiliate
−Removed: thereof) a total of $10,000 per month for office space, utilities, secretarial support and administrative services.
−Removed: our Sponsor, executive officers and directors, or any of their respective affiliates, will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses
−Removed: incurred in connection with activities on our behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence
−Removed: on suitable business combinations.
−Removed: Our audit committee will review on a quarterly basis all payments that were made to our Sponsor,
−Removed: officers or directors, or our or their affiliates.
−Removed: Any such payments prior to an initial business combination will be made using
−Removed: funds held outside the Trust Account.
−Removed: Other than quarterly audit committee review of such reimbursements, we do not expect to have
−Removed: any additional controls in place governing our reimbursement payments to our directors and officers for their out-of-pocket expenses
−Removed: incurred in connection with our activities on our behalf in connection with identifying and consummating an initial business combination.
−Removed: Other than these payments and reimbursements, no compensation of any kind, including finder’s and consulting fees, will be
−Removed: paid by the company to our Sponsor, officers and directors, or any of their respective affiliates, prior to completion of our initial
−Removed: business combination.

−Removed: or tender offer materials (as applicable) furnished to our stockholders in connection with a proposed business combination.
−Removed: have not established any limit on the amount of such fees that may be paid by the combined company to our directors or members
−Removed: of management.
−Removed: It is unlikely the amount of such compensation will be known at the time of the proposed business combination, because
−Removed: the directors of the post-combination business will be responsible for determining officer and director compensation.
−Removed: compensation to be paid to our officers will be determined, or recommended to the board of directors for determination, either
−Removed: by a compensation committee constituted solely by independent directors or by a majority of the independent directors on our board
−Removed: of directors.
−Removed: We do not intend to take any action to ensure
−Removed: that members of our management team maintain their positions with us after the consummation of our initial business combination,
−Removed: although it is possible that some or all of our officers and directors may negotiate employment or consulting arrangements to remain
−Removed: with us after our initial business combination.
−Removed: The existence or terms of any such employment or consulting arrangements to retain
−Removed: their positions with us may influence our management’s motivation in identifying or selecting a target business but we do
−Removed: not believe that the ability of our management to remain with us after the consummation of our initial business combination will
−Removed: be a determining factor in our decision to proceed with any potential business combination.
−Removed: We are not party to any agreements
−Removed: with our officers and directors that provide for benefits upon termination of employment.

+Added: by Item 11 will be contained in, and is hereby incorporated by reference to, the 2021 Proxy Statement, which we will file pursuant

−Removed: were issued to our Sponsor in exchange for a capital contribution of $25,000, or approximately $0.004 per share.
−Removed: In February 2019,
−Removed: we effected a stock dividend with respect to our Class B common stock of 718,750 shares thereof, resulting in our Sponsor
−Removed: holding an aggregate of 6,468,750 Founder Shares.
−Removed: The number of Founder Shares issued was determined based on the expectation that
−Removed: such Founder Shares would represent 20% of the outstanding shares upon completion of our Initial Public Offering.

−Removed: our Sponsor transferred 1,265,625 Founder Shares to Tortoise Borrower.

−Removed: In March 2019, the underwriters of our Initial Public Offering

−Removed: Private Placement Warrants
−Removed: Tortoise Borrower purchased an aggregate
−Removed: of 6,660,183 Private Placement Warrants for a purchase price of $1.00 per warrant in a private placement that occurred simultaneously
−Removed: with the closing of our Initial Public Offering.

−Removed: Each Private Placement Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of our Class A common stock at $11.50 per
−Removed: The Private Placement Warrants (including the Class A common stock issuable upon exercise thereof) may not, subject to certain
−Removed: limited exceptions, be transferred, assigned or sold by the holder until 30 days after the completion of our initial business combination.
−Removed: Conflicts of Interest
−Removed: As more fully discussed in “Part
−Removed: III, Item 10.
−Removed: Directors, Executive Officers and Corporate Governance—Conflicts of Interest,”
−Removed: if any of our officers
−Removed: or directors becomes aware of a business combination opportunity that falls within the line of business of any entity to which
−Removed: he or she has then-current fiduciary or contractual obligations, he or she will honor his or her fiduciary or contractual obligations
−Removed: to present such business combination opportunity to such entity.
−Removed: Our officers and directors currently have certain relevant fiduciary
−Removed: duties or contractual obligations that may take priority over their duties to us.
−Removed: We may pursue an Affiliated Joint Acquisition
−Removed: opportunity with an entity to which an officer or director has a fiduciary or contractual obligation.
−Removed: Any such entity may co-invest
−Removed: with us in the target business at the time of our initial business combination, or we could raise additional proceeds to complete
−Removed: the acquisition by issuing to such entity a class of equity or equity-linked securities.
−Removed: Forward Purchase Agreement
−Removed: We have entered into a Forward Purchase
−Removed: Agreement pursuant to which Atlas Point Fund, which is a fund managed by CIBC National Trust but is not affiliated with us or our
−Removed: Sponsor, agreed to purchase up to an aggregate maximum amount of $150,000,000 of either (i) a number of Forward Purchase Units
−Removed: for $10.00 per unit or (ii) a number of Forward Purchase Shares for $9.67 per share, in a private placement that will close simultaneously
−Removed: with the closing of our initial business combination.
−Removed: Whether we will issue Atlas Point Fund Forward Purchase Units valued at $10.00
−Removed: per unit or Forward Purchase Shares valued at $9.67 per share will be determined at our election, and in our sole discretion, at
−Removed: least 10 business days prior to the closing of our initial business combination.
−Removed: Atlas Point Fund’s obligation to purchase
−Removed: the Forward Purchase Securities will, among other things, be conditioned on Atlas Point Fund giving us its irrevocable written
−Removed: consent to purchase the Forward Purchase Securities no later than five days after we notify it of our intention to meet to consider
−Removed: entering into a definitive agreement for a proposed business combination and on a requirement that such initial business combination
−Removed: is approved by a majority of our board and a majority of the independent directors of our board.
−Removed: Atlas Point Fund may grant or
−Removed: withhold its consent to the purchase entirely within its sole discretion.
−Removed: Accordingly, if Atlas Point Fund does not consent to
−Removed: the purchase, it will not be obligated to purchase the Forward Purchase Securities.
−Removed: The Forward Purchase Warrants will have
−Removed: the same terms as the public warrants and the Forward Purchase Shares will be identical to the shares of Class A common stock included
−Removed: in the Units sold in our Initial Public Offering, except the Forward Purchase Shares and the Forward Purchase Warrants will be
−Removed: subject to transfer restrictions and certain registration rights.
−Removed: The Forward Purchase Agreement also provides
−Removed: that Atlas Point Fund is entitled to certain registration rights with respect to its Forward Purchase Securities.
−Removed: Additionally,
−Removed: pursuant to the terms of the Forward Purchase Agreement, we have granted Atlas Point Fund the right to appoint a single observer
−Removed: to our board of directors until the consummation of our initial business combination.
−Removed: Such observer will not have voting rights
−Removed: or otherwise have any of the powers of a member of our board of directors.
−Removed: Administrative Services Agreement
−Removed: On February 27, 2019, we entered into an
−Removed: administrative services agreement with our Sponsor, pursuant to which we agreed to pay our Sponsor a total of $10,000 per month
−Removed: for office space, utilities, secretarial support and administrative services.
−Removed: Upon completion of our initial business combination
−Removed: or our liquidation, we will cease paying these monthly fees.
−Removed: On March 29, 2019, our Sponsor assigned all of its rights, interests
−Removed: and obligations under the administrative services agreement to Tortoise Capital Advisors, L.L.C.
−Removed: Other than these monthly fees, no compensation
−Removed: of any kind, including finder’s and consulting fees, will be paid by the company to our Sponsor, officers and directors,
−Removed: or any of their respective affiliates, for services rendered prior to or in connection with the completion of an initial business
−Removed: However, these individuals will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities
−Removed: on our behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations.
−Removed: audit committee will review on a quarterly basis all payments that were made to our Sponsor, officers, directors or our or their
−Removed: affiliates and will determine which expenses and the amount of expenses that will be reimbursed.
−Removed: There is no cap or ceiling on
−Removed: the reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such persons in connection with activities on our behalf.
−Removed: After our initial business combination, members
−Removed: of our management team who remain with us may be paid consulting, management or other fees from the combined company with any and
−Removed: all amounts being fully disclosed to our stockholders, to the extent then known, in the tender offer or proxy solicitation materials
−Removed: (as applicable) furnished to our stockholders.
−Removed: It is unlikely that the amount of such compensation will be known at the time of
−Removed: distribution of such tender offer materials or at the time of a stockholder meeting held to consider our initial business combination,
−Removed: as applicable, as it will be up to the directors of the post-combination business to determine executive and director compensation.
−Removed: Related Party Loans and Advances
−Removed: Until the consummation of our Initial Public
−Removed: Offering, our only source of liquidity was an initial sale of Founder Shares to our Sponsor.
−Removed: Additionally, our Sponsor advanced
−Removed: us funds totaling approximately $580,000 to cover expenses related to our Initial Public Offering and certain operating expenses.
−Removed: On March 29, 2019, we repaid our Sponsor in full.
−Removed: In addition, in order to finance transaction
−Removed: costs in connection with an intended initial business combination, our Sponsor or an affiliate of our Sponsor or certain of our
−Removed: officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required.

−Removed: dated February 27, 2019, requiring us to register such securities for resale (in the case of the Founder Shares, only after conversion
−Removed: to our Class A common stock).
−Removed: The holders of these securities, having a value of at least $25 million in the aggregate, are
−Removed: entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that we register such securities.
−Removed: In addition, the holders
−Removed: have certain “piggy-back”
−Removed: registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to our completion
−Removed: of our initial business combination and rights to require us to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under

−Removed: period commencing at least 150 days after our initial business combination or (ii) the date on which we complete a liquidation,
