Master Fund and Crescent Park GP are filing this statement jointly with the other Filers, but not as a member of a group and they expressly disclaim membership in a group. In addition, filing this Schedule 13D on behalf of Master Fund should not be construed as an admission that it is, and it disclaims that it is, a beneficial owner, as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Act, of any of the Stock covered by this Schedule 13D.

 

Each Filer disclaims beneficial ownership of the Stock except to the extent of that person’s pecuniary interest therein.

 

(b)

The business address of the Filers is 1900 University Avenue, Suite 501, East Palo Alto, California 94303

Crescent Park GP is the general partner of the Funds. Mr. Cohen is the controlling person of Crescent Park and Crescent Park GP.

During the last five years, none of the Filers has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors).

(e)

During the last five years, none of the Filers was a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

 

(f)

For citizenship of the Filers, see Item 6 of each Filer’s cover page.

 

Item 3.

Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

The Funds acquired 2,400,000 of the Issuer’s Units (“Units”) on November 24, 2020, in connection with the Issuer’s initial public offering for a purchase price of $10.00 per share, or $24,000,000. The Funds paid for such Units from their working capital. Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share of the Issuer and one-half of one redeemable warrant entitling the holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share of the Issuer at a price of $11.50 per share.

Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction

The Filers acquired the Stock for investment purposes. Crescent Park intends to assist management of the Issuer in analyzing and conducting due diligence on potential acquisition targets identified by the Issuer. Accordingly, Crescent Park may make recommendations to Issuer’s directors and officers regarding potential acquisitions, mergers, reorganizations and liquidations of the Issuer and its subsidiaries.

The Filers will routinely monitor the Issuer regarding a wide variety of factors that affect their investment considerations, including, current and anticipated future trading prices of the Stock and other securities, the Issuer’s operations, assets, prospects, financial position, and business development, Issuer’s management, Issuer-related competitive and strategic matters, general economic, financial market and industry conditions, and other investment considerations. Depending on their evaluation of various factors, the Filers may take such actions regarding their holdings of the Issuer’s securities as they deem appropriate in light of circumstances existing from time to time. Such actions may include purchasing additional Stock in the open market, through privately negotiated transactions with third parties or otherwise, and selling at any time, in the open market, through privately negotiated transactions with third parties or otherwise, all or part of the Stock now owned or hereafter acquired by any of them. The Filers also may from time to time enter into or unwind hedging or other derivative transactions with respect to the Stock or pledge their interests in the Stock to obtain liquidity. In addition, from time to time the Filers and their representatives and advisers may communicate with other stockholders, industry participants and other interested parties about the Issuer.

The Filers have no present plan or proposal that relates to or would result in any of the actions specified in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D of the Act. However, the Filers may recommend action to the Issuer’s management, board of directors and stockholders. Any such actions could involve one or more of the events referred to in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D, including, potentially, one or more mergers, consolidations, sales or acquisitions of assets, change in control, issuances, purchases, dispositions or pledges of securities or other changes in capitalization.

Item 5.

Interest in Securities of the Issuer

The beneficial ownership of the Stock by each Filer on the date hereof is reflected on that Filer’s cover page.

The Funds acquired 2,400,000 Units issued by the Issuer on November 24, 2020, in connection with the Issuer’s initial public offering for a purchase price of $10.00 per share, or $24,000,000. Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share of the Issuer and one-half of one redeemable warrant entitling the holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share of the Issuer at a price of $11.50 per share. One of the Funds sold 10,000 Units on November 25, 2020, for a price of $10.0131 per Unit.

Item 6.

Contracts, Arrangement, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer

 

The Funds are parties to a Subscription Agreement, dated November 18, 2020 (the “Subscription Agreement”), with Genesis Park Holdings, the sponsor of the Issuer (the “Sponsor”), pursuant to which the Funds will acquire a membership interest in the Sponsor for nominal consideration in connection with the purchase of the Units. The Subscription Agreement entitles the Funds to an aggregate interest in up to 11% of the founder shares of the Issuer held by the Sponsor, assuming an offering of $150,000,000 of Units, and subject to adjustment if the size of the Issuer’s initial public offering changes, if the underwriters exercise their overallotment option, if the Funds purchase fewer than 3,000,000 Units in the initial public offering or if the Funds do not hold a minimum number of ordinary shares at the time of the Issuer’s initial business combination.

The Funds’ interest in such founder shares will be treated the same in all material respects as the founder shares held by the Sponsor, except the Funds will forfeit their interest in the founder shares if they do not purchase a minimum number of Units sold in the Issuer’s initial public offering (subject to adjustment based on the size of the offering).

Pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, the Funds have not been granted any material additional shareholder or other rights and are only being issued a membership interest in the Sponsor with no right to control the Sponsor or vote or dispose of the founder shares (which will continue to be held by the Sponsor until following the Issuer’s initial business combination). Further, the Funds are not required to: (i) hold any Units, ordinary shares or warrants they may purchase in the Issuer’s initial public offering or thereafter for any amount time, (ii) vote any ordinary shares it may own at the applicable time in favor of the Issuer’s initial business combination or (iii) refrain from exercising its right to redeem its ordinary shares at the time of the Issuer’s initial business combination.

The foregoing description of the Subscription Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such agreement, which is incorporated herein by reference.
