Overview
We are a blank check company
incorporated in Delaware on April 17, 2020 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”). Our sponsor
is CFAC Holdings VI, LLC (the “Sponsor”).
Although we are not limited in our search for
target businesses to a particular industry or sector for the purpose of consummating the Initial Business Combination, we are focusing
our search on companies operating in the financial services, healthcare, real estate services, technology and software industries. We
are an early stage and emerging growth company and, as such, we are subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging
growth companies.
Our registration statement for our initial public
offering (the “Initial Public Offering”) was declared effective on February 18, 2021. On February 23, 2021, we consummated
the Initial Public Offering of 30,000,000 units (each, a “Unit” and with respect to the shares of Class A common stock included
in the Units sold, the “Public Shares”), at a purchase price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $300,000,000.
Each Unit consists of one share of Class A common stock and one-fourth of one redeemable warrant. Each whole warrant entitles the holder
to purchase one share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50. Each warrant will become exercisable on the later of 30 days after
the completion of the Initial Business Combination or February 23, 2022 (12 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering) and
will expire 5 years after the completion of the Initial Business Combination, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial
Public Offering, we consummated the sale of 700,000 Units (the “Private Placement Units”) at a price of $10.00 per Private
Placement Unit to the Sponsor in a private placement (the “Private Placement”), generating gross proceeds of $7,000,000.
Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering
and sale of the Private Placement Units on February 23, 2021, an amount of $300,000,000 ($10.00 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the
sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Units was placed in a trust account (the “Trust
Account”) located in the United States at UMB Bank, N.A., with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee,
which may be 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 any open-ended investment company
that holds itself out as a money market fund selected by us meeting the conditions of paragraphs (d)(2), (d)(3) and (d)(4) of Rule 2a-7
of the Investment Company Act, as determined by us, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of the Initial Business Combination and (ii)
the distribution of the Trust Account, as described below.
22
We have until February 23, 2023 (24 months from
the closing of the Initial Public Offering), or a later date approved by our stockholders in accordance with the Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation (the “Combination Period”). If we are unable to complete the Initial Business Combination by
the end of the Combination Period, 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 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 our 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
the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) above to our obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements
of other applicable law. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to our warrants, which will expire
worthless if we fail to complete the Initial Business Combination within the Combination Period.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of both September 30, 2021 and December 31,
2020, we had $25,000 of cash in our operating account. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we had a working capital deficit
of approximately $1,013,000 and $157,000, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, we had $7,563 and $15,536,
respectively, in interest income in the Trust Account available to pay taxes (less up to $100,000 of such net interest to pay dissolution
expenses).
Our liquidity needs through September 30, 2021
have been satisfied through a contribution of $25,000 from the Sponsor in exchange for the issuance of the founder shares, a loan of approximately
$151,000 from the Sponsor pursuant to a promissory note (the “Pre-IPO Note”), the proceeds from the consummation of the Private
Placement with the Sponsor not held in the Trust Account, and the Sponsor Loan (as defined below). We fully repaid the Pre-IPO Note upon
completion of the Initial Public Offering. In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with the Initial Business
Combination, our Sponsor has committed up to $1,750,000 to be provided to us to fund our expenses relating to investigating and selecting
a target business and other working capital requirements after the Initial Public Offering and prior to the Initial Business Combination
(the “Sponsor Loan”). If the Sponsor Loan is insufficient, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of our officers
and directors may, but are not obligated to, provide us additional loans. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there was approximately
$911,000 and $0, respectively, outstanding under the Sponsor Loan.
Based on the foregoing, management believes that
we will have sufficient working capital and borrowing capacity from the Sponsor to meet our needs through the earlier of the consummation
of the Initial Business Combination or one year from the date of this Report. Over this time period, we will be using these funds for
paying existing accounts payable, identifying and evaluating prospective target businesses, 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.
Results of Operations
Our entire activity from inception through September
30, 2021 related to our formation, the preparation for the Initial Public Offering, and since the closing of the Initial Public Offering,
toward locating and completing a suitable Initial Business Combination. We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues
to date. We will not generate any operating revenues until after completion of our Initial Business Combination. We will generate non-operating
income in the form of interest income on investments held in the Trust Account. We expect to incur increased expenses as a result of being
a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses.
23
For the three months ended September 30, 2021,
we had net income of approximately $863,000, which consisted of approximately $1,151,000 of gain from the change in fair value of the
warrant liability, approximately $378,000 of gain from the change in fair value of the FPS liability, and approximately
$8,000 of interest income on investments held in the Trust Account, which were partially offset by approximately $589,000 in general and
administrative expenses, approximately $55,000 of franchise tax expense and $30,000 in administrative expenses paid to the Sponsor.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2021,
we incurred a net loss of approximately $509,000, which consisted of approximately $2,646,000 of loss from the change in fair value of
the FPS liability, approximately $1,056,000 in general and administrative expenses, approximately $147,000 of
franchise tax expense, and approximately $72,000 in administrative expenses paid to the Sponsor, which were partially offset by approximately
$3,396,000 of gain from the change in fair value of the warrant liability, and approximately $16,000 of interest income on investments
held in the Trust Account.
Contractual Obligations
Business Combination Marketing Agreement
We engaged Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. (“CF&Co.”),
an affiliate of the Sponsor, as an advisor in connection with the Initial Business Combination to assist us in holding meetings with our
stockholders to discuss the Initial Business Combination and the target business’ attributes, introduce us to potential investors
that are interested in purchasing our securities, assist us in obtaining stockholder approval for the Initial Business Combination and
assist us with our press releases and public filings in connection with the Initial Business Combination. We will pay CF&Co. a cash
fee for such services upon the consummation of the Initial Business Combination in an amount of $10,500,000, which is equal to 3.5% of
the gross proceeds of the Initial Public Offering.
Related Party Loans
In order to finance transaction costs in connection
with an intended Initial Business Combination, the Sponsor has committed up to $1,750,000 in the Sponsor Loan to be provided to us to
fund expenses relating to investigating and selecting a target business and other working capital requirements, including $10,000 per
month for office space, administrative and shared personnel support services that will be paid to the Sponsor, after the Initial Public
Offering and prior to the Initial Business Combination. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we had borrowed approximately
$911,000 and $0, respectively, under the Sponsor Loan.
The Sponsor pays expenses on our behalf. We reimburse
the Sponsor for such expenses paid on our behalf. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we had accounts payable outstanding
to the Sponsor for such expenses paid on our behalf of $0 and approximately $106,000, respectively.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
We have identified the following as our critical
accounting polices:
Use of Estimates
The preparation of our unaudited condensed financial
statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed financial
statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. These accounting
estimates require the use of assumptions about matters, some of which are highly uncertain at the time of estimation. To the extent actual
experience differs from the assumptions used, our unaudited condensed balance sheets, unaudited condensed statements of operations and
unaudited condensed statements of cash flows could be materially affected. We believe that the following accounting policies involve a
higher degree of judgment and complexity.
Emerging Growth Company
Section 102(b)(1) of the Jumpstart Our Business
Startups Act of 2012 (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 registration statement under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) 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 a company can
elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any
such election to opt out is irrevocable. We have 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, we, as an emerging growth company, can adopt
the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard.
24
Warrant and Forward Purchase Securities Liability
We account for our outstanding public warrants
and private placement warrants and the securities underlying the forward purchase agreement with the Sponsor (the “FPA” and
such securities, the “FPS”) in accordance with guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification
(“ASC”) 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity , under which the warrants and FPS
do not meet the criteria for equity classification and must be recorded as liabilities. As both the public and private placement warrants
and FPS meet the definition of a derivative under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, they are measured at fair value at inception
and at each reporting date in accordance with the guidance in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement , with any subsequent changes in fair
value recognized in the statement of operations in the period of change.
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 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 shares of 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.
All of the Public Shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of our control and subject to the occurrence
of uncertain future events. Accordingly, as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, 30,000,000 and 0 shares of Class A common
stock subject to possible redemption, respectively, are presented as temporary equity outside of the stockholders’ equity section
of our balance sheet. We recognize any subsequent changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjust the carrying value
of redeemable Class A common stock to the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Immediately upon the closing of the Initial
Public Offering, we recognized the accretion from initial book value to redemption amount value of redeemable Class A common stock. This
method would view the end of the reporting period as if it were also the redemption date for the security. The change in the carrying
value of redeemable Class A common stock also resulted in charges against Additional paid-in capital and Accumulated deficit.
Net Income (Loss) Per Share of Common Stock
We comply with the accounting and disclosure requirements
of ASC 260, Earnings Per Share . Net income (loss) per share of common stock is computed by dividing net income (loss) applicable
to stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the applicable periods. We apply the two-class
method in calculating earnings per share. Accretion associated with the redeemable shares of Class A common stock is excluded from earnings
per share as the redemption value approximates fair value.
We have not considered the effect of the warrants
to purchase an aggregate of 7,675,000 shares of Class A common stock sold in the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement
in the calculation of diluted earnings per share, since their inclusion would be anti-dilutive under the treasury stock method. As
a result, diluted earnings per share of common stock is the same as basic earnings per share of common stock for the periods presented.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations
As of September 30, 2021, we did not have
any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii)
of Regulation S-K and did not have any commitments or contractual obligations.
