All disclosures herein with respect to any Reporting Person are made only by such Reporting Person. Any disclosures herein with respect to persons other than the Reporting Persons are made on information and belief after making inquiry to the appropriate party.

(b) The address of the principal business and principal office of each of the Sponsor and Cantor is 110 East 59th Street, New York, New York 10022. The address of the principal business and principal office of each of CFGM and Mr. Lutnick is 499 Park Avenue, New York, New York 10022.

(c) The Sponsor’s principal business is to act as the Issuer’s sponsor. The principal business of Cantor is providing financial services, including an array of financial products and services in the equity, fixed income and foreign exchange capital markets. The principal business of CFGM is to act as the Managing General Partner of Cantor. The principal occupation of Mr. Lutnick, in addition to his duties as an officer and director of the Issuer, is to serve as Chief Executive Officer of Cantor, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of BGC Partners, Inc. (“BGC”), Chairman of Newmark Group, Inc. (“Newmark”) and Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of CFGM. In addition, Mr. Lutnick holds offices at various other affiliates of Cantor and provides services to the operating partnerships of Newmark, BGC and CFLP. Mr. Lutnick is also the trustee of CFGM’s sole stockholder.

(d) None of the Reporting Persons has, during the last five years, been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors).

(e) None of the Reporting Persons has, during the last five years, been a party to civil proceeding of a judicial 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) The Sponsor is a Delaware limited liability company. Cantor is a Delaware limited partnership. CFGM is a New York corporation. Mr. Lutnick is a citizen of the United States.

The aggregate purchase price for the shares of Common Stock currently beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons was $10,025,000. The source of these funds was the working capital of Cantor.

In January 2020, the Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 11,500,000 shares of Class B common stock of the Issuer (the “Founder Shares”) for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000. On September 23, 2020, the Issuer effectuated a 1.25-for-1 stock split. On November 3, 2020, the Sponsor returned to the Issuer, at no cost, an aggregate of 2,875,000 Founder Shares, which the Issuer cancelled, resulting in an aggregate of 11,500,000 Founder Shares outstanding and held by the Sponsor. In addition, in December 2020, the Sponsor transferred 15,000 Founder Shares to each of Mr. Louis Zurita and Ms. Charlotte Blechman, the Issuer’s independent directors (none of which were subject to forfeiture in the event that the underwriters’ over-allotment option is not exercised in full). On December 22, 2020, the Issuer effectuated a 1.125-for-1 stock split, resulting in an aggregate of 12,937,500 Founder Shares outstanding and held by the Issuer’s initial stockholders (up to 1,687,500 of which were subject to forfeiture by the Sponsor if the underwriters’ over-allotment option is not exercised in full). On December 28, 2020, 437,500 Founder Shares were returned by the Sponsor to the Issuer for no consideration and cancelled because the underwriters' over-allotment option was partially exercised and the remaining portion of the option would not be exercised by the underwriters.

On December 28, 2020, simultaneously with the consummation of the Issuer’s Initial Public Offering (the “IPO”), the Sponsor purchased 1,000,000 units (“Placement Units”) of the Issuer at $10.00 per Placement Unit, pursuant to a Private Placement Units Purchase Agreement, dated December 22, 2020, by and between the Issuer and the Sponsor (the “Purchase Agreement”), as more fully described in Item 6 of this Schedule 13D, which information is incorporated herein by reference. Each Placement Unit consists of one share of Class A Common Stock and one-third of one warrant, each whole warrant exercisable to purchase one share of Class A Common Stock, at an exercise price of $11.50 per share (as described more fully in the Issuer’s Final Prospectus dated December 22, 2020).

The shares of Common Stock owned by the Reporting Persons have been acquired for investment purposes. The Reporting Persons may make further acquisitions of the Common Stock from time to time and, subject to certain restrictions, may dispose of any or all of the Common Stock held by the Reporting Persons at any time depending on an ongoing evaluation of the investment in such securities, prevailing market conditions, other investment opportunities and other factors. However, certain of such shares are subject to certain lock-up restrictions as further described in Item 6 below.

In order to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial business combination, the Sponsor has committed to provide $1,750,000 to the Issuer to fund the Issuer’s expenses relating to investigating and selecting a target business and other working capital requirements prior to the Issuer’s initial business combination.

Except for the foregoing, the Reporting Persons have no plans or proposals which relate to, or could result in, any of the matters referred to in paragraphs (a) and (c) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

With respect to paragraph (b) of Item 4, the Issuer is a newly organized blank check company formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities. Under various agreements between the Issuer and the Reporting Persons as further described in Item 6 below, the Sponsor and Mr. Lutnick have agreed (A) to vote their shares in favor of any proposed business combination and (B) not to redeem any shares in connection with a shareholder vote (or tender offer) to approve (or in connection with) a proposed initial business combination.

The Reporting Persons may, at any time and from time to time, review or reconsider their position, change their purpose or formulate plans or proposals with respect to the Issuer.

(a)-(b) The aggregate number and percentage of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons (on the basis of a total of 63,500,000 shares of Common Stock, including 51,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock and 12,500,000 shares of Class B Common Stock, outstanding as of December 28, 2020, as reported by the Issuer in Exhibit 99.1 to its Current Report on Form 8-K, filed by the Issuer with the SEC on January 4, 2021) are as follows:

The Sponsor is controlled by its sole member, Cantor, which is controlled by its managing general partner, CFGM. CFGM indirectly has the sole voting and dispositive power of the securities held by the Sponsor. Mr. Lutnick is the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of CFGM and also the trustee of CFGM’s sole stockholder and accordingly may be deemed to have beneficial ownership of securities reported herein. Mr. Lutnick disclaims any ownership of securities reported herein other than to the extent of any pecuniary interest he may have therein, directly or indirectly.

(c) None of the Reporting Persons has effected any transactions of Common Stock during the 60 days preceding the date of this report, except as described in Item 4 and Item 6 of this Schedule 13D which information is incorporated herein by reference.

(d) Not applicable.

(e) Not applicable.

Private Placement Units Purchase Agreement between the Issuer and Sponsor

On December 22, 2020, simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO, the Sponsor purchased 1,000,000 Placement Units pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. The Placement Units and the securities underlying such Placement Units are subject to a lock up provision in the Purchase Agreement, which provides that such securities shall not be transferable, saleable or assignable until 30 days after the consummation of the Issuer’s initial business combination, subject to certain limited exceptions as described in the Insider Letter.

The description of the Purchase Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such agreement, a copy of which was filed by the Issuer as Exhibit 10.5 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Issuer with the SEC on December 29, 2020 (and is incorporated by reference herein as Exhibit 10.1).

Insider Letter

On December 22, 2020, in connection with the IPO, the Issuer, the Sponsor and certain other parties thereto entered into a letter agreement (the “Insider Letter”). Pursuant to the Insider Letter, the Sponsor agreed (A) to vote its Founder Shares, any shares of Common Stock underlying the Placement Units and any public shares in favor of any proposed business combination, (B) not to propose an amendment to the Issuer’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation that would modify the substance or timing of the Issuer’s obligation to redeem the public shares if the Issuer does not consummate a business combination within 24 months from the completion of the IPO, unless the Issuer provides the holders of public shares with the opportunity to redeem such shares upon approval of any such amendment at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Issuer’s trust account set up in connection with the IPO (the “Trust Account”), (C) not to redeem any Founder Shares and any shares underlying the Placement Units into the right to receive cash from the Trust Account in connection with a shareholder vote to approve the Issuer’s proposed initial business combination or a vote to amend the provisions of the Issuer’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-business combination activity and (D) that the Founder Shares and any shares of Common Stock underlying the Placement Units shall not participate in any liquidating distribution upon winding up if a business combination is not consummated. The Sponsor also agreed that in the event of the liquidation of the Trust Account of the Issuer (as defined in the Insider Letter), it will indemnify and hold harmless the Issuer against any and all loss, liability, claims, damage and expense whatsoever which the Issuer may become subject to as a result of any claim by any vendor or other person who is owed money by the Issuer for services rendered or products sold to or contracted for the Issuer, or by any target business with which the Issuer has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, but only to the extent necessary to ensure that such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense does not reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account; provided that such indemnity shall not apply if such vendor or prospective target business executes an agreement waiving any claims against the Trust Account.

The description of the Insider Letter is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such agreement, a copy of which was filed by the Issuer as Exhibit 10.1 to the Form 8-K filed by the Issuer with the SEC on December 29, 2020 (and is incorporated by reference herein as Exhibit 10.2).

Registration Rights Agreement

On December 22, 2020, in connection with the IPO, the Issuer, the Sponsor and the other initial stockholder entered into a registration rights agreement with the Issuer, pursuant to which the Sponsor was granted certain demand and “piggyback” registration rights, which will be subject to customary conditions and limitations, including the right of the underwriters of an offering to limit the number of shares offered. The summary of such registration rights agreement contained herein is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such agreement, a copy of which was filed by the Issuer as Exhibit 10.3 to the Form 8-K filed by the Issuer with the SEC on December 29, 2020 (and is incorporated by reference herein as Exhibit 10.3).

Expense Advancement Agreement and Related Promissory Note

On December 22, 2020, in connection with the IPO, the Issuer and the Sponsor entered into an expense advancement agreement, pursuant to which the Sponsor has committed to provide $1,750,000 to the Issuer to fund the Issuer’s expenses relating to investigating and selecting a target business and other working capital requirements prior to the Issuer’s initial business combination. The summary of such expense advancement agreement contained herein is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such agreement, a copy of which was filed by the Issuer as Exhibit 10.4 to the Form 8-K filed by the Issuer with the SEC on December 29, 2020 (and is incorporated by reference herein as Exhibit 10.4).

As contemplated by the Expense Advancement Agreement, on December 22, 2020, the Issuer issued a promissory note to the Sponsor.  The principal of the note is $1,750,000 and the note is interest free. The note is payable upon the Issuer’s initial business combination. The summary of such promissory note contained herein is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such agreement, a copy of which was filed by the Issuer as Exhibit 10.6 to the Form 8-K filed by the Issuer with the SEC on December 29, 2020 (and is incorporated by reference herein as Exhibit 10.5).

 

After reasonable inquiry and to the best of my knowledge and belief, I certify that the information set forth in this statement is true, complete and correct.
