NOTE
1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS
E.Merge
Technology Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware on May 22, 2020. The Company was formed 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 “Business Combination”).
Although
the Company is not limited to a particular industry or sector for purposes of consummating a Business Combination, the Company intends
to focus its search on companies in the software and internet technology industries. The Company is an early stage and emerging growth
company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies.
As
of March 31, 2021, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity through March 31, 2021 relates to the Company’s formation,
the initial public offering (“Initial Public Offering”), which is described below, and, subsequent to the Initial Public
Offering, identifying a target company for a Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the
completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company generates non-operating income in the form of interest income
from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering.
The
registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on July 30, 2020. On August 4, 2020, the
Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 52,200,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the shares of Class
A common stock included in the Units sold, the “Public Shares”), at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $522,000,000,
which is described in Note 3.
Simultaneously
with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 1,200,000 units (each, a “Placement Unit”
and collectively, the “Placement Units”) at a price of $10.00 per Placement Unit in a private placement to E.Merge Technology
Sponsor LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”), generating gross proceeds of $12,000,000, which is described
in Note 4.
On
September 4, 2020, in connection with the underwriters’ election to partially exercise their option to purchase additional Units,
the Company sold an additional 7,800,000 Units at $10.00 per Unit, generating total gross proceeds of $78,000,000.
Transaction
costs amounted to $33,039,544, consisting of $9,840,000 of underwriting fees, $22,560,000 of deferred underwriting fees and $639,544
of other offering costs
Following
the closing of the Initial Public Offering on August 4, 2020 and the underwriters partial exercise of its over-allotment option on September
4, 2020, an aggregate amount of $600,000,000 ($10.00 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering
and the sale of the Placement Units was placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) located in the United States
and 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 the Company meeting the conditions of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment
Company Act, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the
distribution of the Trust Account, as described below.
The
Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering
and the sale of Placement Units, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating
a Business Combination. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to complete a Business Combination successfully. The Company
must complete one or more initial Business Combinations having an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the assets held in the
Trust Account (excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on interest earned on the Trust Account) at the time
of the agreement to enter into the initial Business Combination. The Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-transaction
company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest
in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act.

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2021
(Unaudited)
The
Company will provide its holders of the outstanding Public Shares (the “public stockholders”) with the opportunity to redeem
all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of a Business Combination either (i) in connection with a stockholder
meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will
seek stockholder approval of a Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion.
The public stockholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account
(initially anticipated to be $10.00 per Public Share, plus any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not
previously released to the Company to pay its tax obligations). The per-share amount to be distributed to public stockholders who redeem
their Public Shares will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting commissions the Company will pay to the underwriters (as discussed
in Note 6). There will be no redemption rights upon the completion of a Business Combination with respect to the Company’s warrants.
The
Company will proceed with a Business Combination if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 immediately prior to or
upon consummation of a Business Combination and, if the Company seeks stockholder approval, a majority of the shares voted are voted
in favor of the Business Combination. If a stockholder vote is not required by law and the Company does not decide to hold a stockholder
vote for business or other legal reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Amended
and Restated Certificate of Incorporation”), conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination.
If, however, stockholder approval of the transaction is required by law, or the Company decides to obtain stockholder approval for business
or legal reasons, the Company will offer to redeem shares in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules and not
pursuant to the tender offer rules. If the Company seeks stockholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, the Company’s
Sponsor has agreed to vote its Founder Shares (as defined in Note 5), Placement Shares (as defined in Note 4) and any Public Shares purchased
during or after the Initial Public Offering in favor of approving a Business Combination. Additionally, each public stockholder may elect
to redeem their Public Shares irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed transaction.
If
the Company seeks stockholder approval of a Business Combination and it does not conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules,
the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that a public stockholder, together with any affiliate of such stockholder
or any other person with whom such stockholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), will be restricted from redeeming its shares with
respect to more than an aggregate of 15% or more of the Public Shares, without the prior consent of the Company.
The
Sponsor has agreed (a) to waive its redemption rights with respect to its Founder Shares, Placement Shares and Public Shares, if
any, held by it in connection with the completion of a Business Combination and (b) not to propose an amendment to the Amended and
Restated Certificate of Incorporation (i) that would affect the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption
in connection with a Business Combination or to redeem 100% of its Public Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination
or (ii) with respect to any other provision relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-business combination activity, unless
the Company provides the public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares in conjunction with any such amendment.
The
Company will have until August 4, 2022 to complete a Business Combination (the “Combination Period”). If the Company has
not completed a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Company 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 the Company to pay its tax obligations (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 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 the Company’s remaining
stockholders and the Company’s board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) above
to the Company’s 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 the Company’s warrants, which will expire worthless
if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period.

TECHNOLOGY ACQUISITION CORP.
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2021
(Unaudited)
The
Sponsor has agreed to waive its liquidation rights with respect to the Founder Shares and Placement Shares if the Company fails to complete
a Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if the Sponsor acquires Public Shares in or after the Initial Public Offering,
such Public Shares will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination
within the Combination Period. The underwriters have agreed to waive their rights to their deferred underwriting commission (see Note
6) held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within in the Combination Period and,
in such event, such amounts will be included with the other funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption
of the Public Shares. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the assets remaining available for
distribution will be less than the Initial Public Offering price per Unit ($10.00).
In
order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed to be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims
by a third party for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has discussed
entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.00 per Public Share
and (ii) the actual amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, if
less than $10.00 per share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets. This liability will not apply with respect to any claims
by a third party who executed a waiver of any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account
or to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities,
including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Moreover, in the event that an
executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability
for such third-party claims. The Company will seek to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account
due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers (except the Company’s independent registered accounting
firm), prospective target businesses or other entities with which the Company does business, execute agreements with the Company waiving
any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
As
of March 31, 2021, the Company had $719,118 in its operating bank accounts and working capital of $753,765. In order to finance transaction
costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company’s officers
and directors may, but are not obligated to, provide the Company Working Capital Loans up to $1,500,000 (see Note 5). As of March 31,
2021, there were no amounts outstanding under any Working Capital Loan.
Based
on the foregoing, management believes that the Company will have sufficient working capital and borrowing capacity to meet its needs
through the earlier of the consummation of a Business Combination or one year from this filing. Over this time period, the Company will
be using these funds for paying existing accounts payable, identifying and evaluating prospective initial Business Combination candidates,
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 Business Combination.
NOTE
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis
of Presentation
The
accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q
and Regulation S-X of the SEC. Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance
with GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly,
they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations,
or cash flows. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements include all adjustments, consisting
of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows
for the periods presented.
E.MERGE
TECHNOLOGY ACQUISITION CORP.
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2021
(Unaudited)
The
accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A
for the year ended December 31, 2020 as filed with the SEC on July 2, 2021, which contains the audited financial statements and notes
thereto. The financial information as of December 31, 2020 is derived from the audited financial statements presented in the Company’s
Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2020. The interim results for the three months ended March 31, 2021 are
not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2021 or for any future interim periods.
Emerging
Growth Company
The
Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart
Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting
requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not
being required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley
Act of 2002, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions
from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute
payments not previously approved.
Further,
Section 102(b)(1) of 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 Securities Act registration statement 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. The Company has 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, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies
adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company which
is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult
or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of unaudited condensed financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited
condensed financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Making
estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of
a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating
its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future events. One of the more significant accounting estimates included
in these financial statements is the determination of the fair value of the warrant liability. Such estimates may be subject to change
as more current information becomes available and accordingly the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
The
Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
The Company did not have any cash equivalents as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.
Marketable
Securities Held in Trust Account
At
March 31, 2021, substantially all of the assets held in the Trust Account were held in U.S. Treasury securities and money market
funds, which primarily invest in U.S. Treasury securities.

Class
A Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption
The
Company accounts for its Class A common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards
Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Class A common stock subject to mandatory
redemption is classified as a liability instrument and is measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including common
stock that feature redemption rights that is either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of
uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, common stock is
classified as stockholders’ equity. The Company’s Class A common stock features certain redemption rights that are considered
to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, shares of Class A
common stock subject to possible redemption are presented as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ equity section of the
Company’s balance sheet.
Offering
Costs
Offering
costs consist of underwriting, legal, accounting and other expenses incurred through the Initial Public Offering that are directly related
to the Initial Public Offering. Offering costs amounted to $33,039,544, of which $31,739,984 were charged to stockholders’ equity
upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering and $1,299,560 were expensed to the statement of operations.
Warrant
Liability
The
Company accounts for the Warrants in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815-40 under which the Warrants do not meet the criteria
for equity treatment and must be recorded as liabilities. Accordingly, the Company classifies the Warrants as liabilities at their fair
value and adjusts the Warrants to fair value at each reporting period. This liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet
date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in the Company’s statement of operations. The fair value of the
Placement Warrants (as defined in Note 4) was determined using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Public Warrants (as defined
in Note 3) for periods where no observable traded price was available are valued using a Monte Carlo simulation model. For periods subsequent
to the detachment of the Public Warrants from the Units, the Public Warrant quoted market price was used as the fair value as of each
relevant date.
Income
Taxes
The
Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” Deferred tax
assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements
carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured
using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered
or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included
the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be
realized. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had a deferred tax asset of approximately $32,000 and $106,000, respectively,
which had a full valuation allowance recorded against it of approximately $32,000 and $106,000, respectively.
The
Company’s taxable income primarily consists of interest income on the Trust Account. The Company’s general and administrative
costs are generally considered start-up costs and are not currently deductible. The Company recorded an income tax provision of $387
during the three months ended March 31, 2021. The Company’s effective tax rate of 0% for the three months ended March 31, 2021
differs from the expected income tax rate primarily due to the start-up costs (discussed above), which are not currently deductible,
and to permanent differences mainly attributable to the change in the fair value of the warrant liabilities.
ASC
740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions
taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be
sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits
as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of March 31, 2021.
The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation
from its position. The Company is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception.

Net
Income (Loss) Per Common Share
Net
income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
for the period. The Company has not considered the effect of warrants sold in the Initial Public Offering and private placement to purchase
20,400,000 shares of Class A common stock in the calculation of diluted income (loss) per share, since the exercise price of the
warrants is greater than the average market price for the period.
The
Company’s statements of operations includes a presentation of income (loss) per share for common stock subject to possible redemption
in a manner similar to the two-class method of income (loss) per share. Net income per common share, basic and diluted, for Class A redeemable
common stock is calculated by dividing the interest income earned on the Trust Account, by the weighted average number of Class A redeemable
common stock outstanding since original issuance. Net income (loss) per share, basic and diluted, for Class A and Class B non-redeemable
common stock is calculated by dividing the net income (loss), adjusted for income attributable to Class A redeemable common stock, net
of applicable franchise and income taxes, by the weighted average number of Class A and Class B non-redeemable common stock outstanding
for the period. Class A and Class B non-redeemable common stock includes the Founder Shares and Placement Shares as these shares do not
have any redemption features and do not participate in the income earned on the Trust Account.

Concentration
of Credit Risk
Financial
instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of a cash account in a financial institution,
which, at times, may exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Coverage of $250,000. The Company has not experienced losses on this account
and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such account.
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
The
fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value
Measurement,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying condensed balance sheets, primarily due to their
short-term nature.
Recent
Accounting Standards
In
August 2020, the Financial Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2020-06, “Debt—Debt
with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic
815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity” (“ASU 2020-06”), which
simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current GAAP. ASU 2020-06 removes
certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception and it also simplifies
the diluted earnings per share calculation in certain areas. ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December
15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2020-06 effective
as of January 1, 2021. The adoption of ASU 2020-06 did not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.
Management
does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material
effect on the Company’s unaudited condensed financial statements.
NOTE
3. INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING
Pursuant
to the Initial Public Offering, the Company sold 60,000,000 Units, inclusive of 7,800,000 Units sold to the underwriters on September
4, 2020 upon the underwriters’ election to partially exercise their option to purchase additional Units, at a purchase price of
$10.00 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one share of Class A common stock and one-third of one redeemable warrant (“Public
Warrant”). Each whole Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50
per share, subject to adjustment (see Note 7).
NOTE
4. PRIVATE PLACEMENT
Simultaneously
with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 1,200,000 Placement Units at a price of $10.00
per Placement Unit, for an aggregate purchase price of $12,000,000. Each Placement Unit consists of one share of Class A common
stock (“Placement Share”) and one-third of one redeemable warrant (each, a “Placement Warrant”). Each whole Placement
Warrant is exercisable to purchase one share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share. The proceeds from the Placement
Units were added to the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account. If the Company does not complete a Business
Combination within the Combination Period, the proceeds from the sale of the Placement Units will be used to fund the redemption of the
Public Shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law), and the Placement Units and all underlying securities will expire worthless.

5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Founder
Shares
On
June 8, 2020, the Sponsor paid an aggregate of $25,000 to cover certain offering costs of the Company in consideration for 10,062,500
shares of the Company’s Class B common stock (the “Founder Shares”). In July 2020, the Company effected a 0.428571
for 1 stock dividend for each share of Class B common stock outstanding, and in July 2020, it further effected a 0.044 for 1 stock dividend
for each share of Class B common stock outstanding, resulting in the Sponsor holding an aggregate of 15,007,500 Founder Shares. The Founder
Shares include an aggregate of up to 1,957,500 Class B shares subject to forfeiture to the extent that the underwriters’ over-allotment
option is not exercised in full or in part, so that the Sponsor will own, on an as-converted basis, 20% of the Company’s issued
and outstanding shares after the Initial Public Offering (assuming the Sponsor does not purchase any Public Shares in the Initial Public
Offering and excluding the Placement Units). On September 4, 2020, as a result of the underwriters’ election to partially exercise
their option to purchase additional Units, 7,500 Founder Shares were forfeited and 1,950,000 Founder Shares are no longer subject to
forfeiture, resulting in an aggregate of 15,000,000 Founder Shares issued and outstanding.
The
Sponsor has agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of its Founder Shares until the earlier to occur
of: (A) one year after the completion of a Business Combination or (B) subsequent to a Business Combination, (x) if the
last sale price of the 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 a Business
Combination, or (y) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange or other similar transaction
that results in all of the Company’s stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities
or other property.
Administrative
Support Agreement
The
Company entered into an agreement, commencing on July 30, 2020 through the earlier of the Company’s consummation of a Business
Combination and its liquidation, to pay an affiliate of the Sponsor a total of $15,000 per month for office space, utilities and secretarial
and administrative support. During the three months ended March 31,2021, the Company incurred and paid $45,000 in fees for such services.
Related
Party Loans
In
addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor,
or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working
Capital Loans”). If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company would repay the Working Capital Loans out of the
proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. Otherwise, the Working Capital Loans would be repaid only out of funds held outside
the Trust Account. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of proceeds held outside the
Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital
Loans. Except for the foregoing, the terms of such Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements
exist with respect to such loans. The Working Capital Loans would either be repaid upon consummation of a Business Combination, without
interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into units upon consummation
of the Business Combination at a price of $10.00 per unit. The units would be identical to the Placement Units. As of March 31, 2021
and December 31, 2020, there were no amounts outstanding under the Working Capital Loans.

6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Risks
and Uncertainties
Management
continues to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the virus could
have a negative effect on the Company’s financial position, results of its operations and/or search for a target company, the specific
impact is not readily determinable as of the date of the financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments
that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Registration
Rights
Pursuant
to a registration rights agreement entered into on August 4, 2020, the holders of the Founder Shares, Placement Units (including securities
contained therein) and units (including securities contained therein) that may be issued upon conversion of any Working Capital Loans,
and any shares of Class A common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Placement Warrants and any shares of Class A common
stock and warrants (and underlying Class A common stock) that may be issued upon conversion of units issued as part of the Working
Capital Loans and Class A common stock issuable upon conversion of the Founder Shares, will be entitled to registration rights requiring
the Company to register such securities for resale (in the case of the Founder Shares, only after conversion to Class A common stock).
The holders of the majority of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company
register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration
statements filed subsequent to the completion of a Business Combination and rights to require the Company to register for resale such
securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. The registration rights agreement does not contain liquidating damages
or other cash settlement provisions resulting from delays in registering the Company’s securities. The Company will bear the expenses
incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.
Underwriting
Agreement
The
underwriters are entitled a deferred fee of $22,560,000 in the aggregate. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriters from
the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completes a Business Combination, subject to the terms of
the underwriting agreement.

7. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Preferred
Stock — The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share
with such designations, voting and other rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Company’s board of
directors. At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there were no shares of preferred stock issued or outstanding.
Class A
Common Stock — The Company is authorized to issue 200,000,000 shares of Class A common stock with a par value
of $0.0001 per share. Holders of Class A common stock are entitled to one vote for each share. At March 31, 2021 and December 31,
2020, there were 5,801,909 and 6,931,033 shares of Class A common stock issued or outstanding, excluding 55,398,091 and 54,268,967
shares of Class A common stock subject to possible redemption.
Class B
Common Stock — In June 2020, the Company amended its Certificate of Incorporation such that the Company is authorized
to issue 20,000,000 shares of Class B common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Holders of Class B common stock are
entitled to one vote for each share. At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there were 15,000,000 shares of Class B common stock
issued and outstanding.
Holders
of Class A common stock and Class B common stock will vote together as a single class on all other matters submitted to a vote
of stockholders except as required by law.

The
shares of Class B common stock will automatically convert into shares of Class A common stock at the time of a Business Combination
on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment. In the case that additional shares of Class A common stock, or equity-linked securities,
are issued or deemed issued in excess of the amounts offered in the Initial Public Offering and related to the closing of a Business
Combination, the ratio at which shares of Class B common stock shall convert into shares of Class A common stock will be adjusted
(unless the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class B common stock agree to waive such adjustment with respect
to any such issuance or deemed issuance) so that the number of shares of Class A common stock issuable upon conversion of all shares
of Class B common stock will equal, in the aggregate, on an as-converted basis, 20% of the sum of the total number of all shares
of common stock outstanding upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering (not including the shares of Class A common stock
underlying the Placement Units) plus all shares of Class A common stock and equity-linked securities issued or deemed issued in
connection with a Business Combination (excluding any shares or equity-linked securities issued, or to be issued, to any seller in a
Business Combination, any private placement-equivalent units and their underlying securities issued, or to be issued, to any seller in
a Business Combination, any private placement equivalent securities issued to the Sponsor or its affiliates upon conversion of loans
made to the Company).
NOTE
8. WARRNTS
Public
Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares. No fractional warrants will be issued upon separation of the Units and only
whole warrants will trade. The Public Warrants will become exercisable on the later of (a) 30 days after the completion of a Business
Combination or (b) 12 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering. The Public Warrants will expire five years after the completion
of a Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.
The
Company will not be obligated to deliver any shares of Class A common stock pursuant to the exercise of a warrant and will have
no obligation to settle such warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the shares of
Class A common stock underlying the warrants is then effective and a prospectus relating thereto is current, subject to the Company
satisfying its obligations with respect to registration. No warrant will be exercisable and the Company will not be obligated to issue
shares of Class A common stock upon exercise of a warrant unless Class A common stock issuable upon such warrant exercise has
been registered, qualified or deemed to be exempt under the securities laws of the state of residence of the registered holder of the
warrants.
The
Company has agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15 business days after the closing of a Business Combination,
the Company will use its best efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement covering the shares of Class A common stock
issuable upon exercise of the warrants, to cause such registration statement to become effective and to maintain a current prospectus
relating to those shares of Class A common stock until the warrants expire or are redeemed, as specified in the warrant agreement.
If a registration statement covering the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective
by the 60th business day after the closing of a Business Combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an
effective registration statement and during any period when the Company will have failed to maintain an effective registration statement,
exercise warrants on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act or another exemption.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a registration statement covering the Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants
is not effective within a specified period following the consummation of a Business Combination, warrant holders may, until such time
as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company shall have failed to maintain an effective registration
statement, exercise warrants on a cashless basis pursuant to the exemption provided by Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, provided
that such exemption is available. If that exemption, or another exemption, is not available, holders will not be able to exercise their
warrants on a cashless basis.
Redemption
of warrants when the price per share of Class A common stock equals or exceeds $18.00: Once the warrants become exercisable, the
Company may redeem the Public Warrants:
|
●
|
in whole and
not in part;
|
|
●
|
at a price
of $0.01 per warrant;
|

●
|
upon not less
than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption given after the warrants become exercisable; and
|
|
●
|
if, and only
if, the reported last sale price of the Company’s Class A common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share for any 20 trading
days within a 30-trading day period commencing once the warrants become exercisable and ending three business days before the Company
sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.
|
If
and when the warrants become redeemable by the Company, the Company may not exercise its redemption right if the issuance of shares of
common stock upon exercise of the warrants is not exempt from registration or qualification under applicable state blue sky laws or the
Company is unable to effect such registration or qualification.
If
the Company calls the Public Warrants for redemption, management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise the
Public Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis,” as described in the warrant agreement. The exercise price and number of shares
of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of
a stock dividend, or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, the warrants will not be adjusted for issuance
of Class A common stock at a price below its exercise price. Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash
settle the warrants. If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and the Company liquidates
the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of warrants will not receive any of such funds with respect to their warrants, nor will
they receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with the respect to such warrants. Accordingly,
the warrants may expire worthless.
In
addition, if (x) the Company issues additional shares of Class A common stock or equity-linked securities for capital raising
purposes in connection with the closing of a Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per share
of Class A common stock (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by the Company’s board
of directors and, in the case of any such issuance to the Sponsor or its affiliates, without taking into account any Founder Shares held
by the Sponsor or such affiliates, as applicable, prior to such issuance) (the “Newly Issued Price”), (y) the aggregate
gross proceeds from such issuances represent more than 60% of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available for the funding
of a Business Combination on the date of the consummation of a Business Combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the volume weighted
average trading price of the shares of Class A common stock during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading day prior to
the day on which the Company consummates a Business Combination (such price, the “Market Value”) is below $9.20 per share,
the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the higher of the Market Value and the
Newly Issued Price, and the $18.00 per share redemption trigger price will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 180% of the
higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price.
The
Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants underlying the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering, except that the Placement
Warrants and the Class A common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Placement Warrants will not be transferable, assignable
or saleable until 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions. Additionally, the
Placement Warrants will be exercisable on a cashless basis and be non-redeemable so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or
their permitted transferees. If the Placement Warrants are held by someone other than the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees,
the Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants.
NOTE
9. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The
Company follows the guidance in ASC 820 for its financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at each
reporting period, and non-financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at least annually.
The
fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities reflects management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would
have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction
between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company
seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable
inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following fair value hierarchy is
used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and
liabilities:
|
Level 1:
|
Quoted prices
in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions
for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

The
Company classifies its U.S. Treasury and equivalent securities as held-to-maturity in accordance with ASC 320 “Investments - Debt
and Equity Securities.” Held-to-maturity securities are those securities which the Company has the ability and intent to hold until
maturity. Held-to-maturity treasury securities are recorded at amortized cost on the accompanying condensed balance sheets and adjusted
for the amortization or accretion of premiums or discounts.
At
March 31, 2021, assets held in the Trust Account were comprised of $743 in cash, $300,151,126 in U.S. Treasury Bills at amortized cost
and $300,019,283 money market funds that primarily invest in U.S. Treasury securities at fair market value. During the three months ended
March 31, 2021, the Company did not withdraw any interest income from the Trust Account. At December 31, 2020, assets held in the Trust
Account were comprised of $399 in cash, $300,107,026 in U.S. Treasury Bills at amortized cost and $300,011,884 in money market funds
that primarily invest in U.S. Treasury securities at fair market value.

The
Warrants were accounted for as liabilities in accordance with ASC 815-40 and are presented within warrant liabilities on the accompanying
condensed balance sheets. The warrant liabilities are measured at fair value at inception and on a recurring basis, with changes in fair
value presented in the condensed statements of operations.
The
Placement Warrants were valued using a Black Scholes Model, which is considered to be a Level 3 fair value measurement. The Public
Warrants were valued using a Monte Carlo simulation implementing the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model that is modified to capture the
redemption features of the Public Warrants. The primary unobservable input utilized in determining the fair value of the Warrants is
the expected volatility of the common stock. The expected volatility was initially derived from observable public warrant pricing on
comparable ‘blank-check’ companies without an identified target. The subsequent measurements of the Public Warrants after
the detachment of the Public Warrants from the Units was classified as Level 1 due to the use of an observable market quote in an active
market. For periods subsequent to the detachment of the Public Warrants from the Units, the close price of the Public Warrant price was
used as the fair value as of each relevant date.
The
following table presents the quantitative information regarding Level 3 fair value measurements:

Overview
We
are a blank check company incorporated on May 22, 2020 as a Delaware corporation and formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital
stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar Business Combination with one or more businesses. While
our efforts to identify a target business may span many industries and regions worldwide, we focus our search for prospects within the
software and internet technology industries. We intend to effectuate our initial Business Combination using cash from the proceeds of
our Initial Public Offering and the private placement of the Private Units, the proceeds of the sale of our shares in connection with
our initial Business Combination, shares issued to the owners of the target, debt issued to bank or other lenders or the owners of the
target, or a combination of the foregoing.
We
expect to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our initial Business Combination. We cannot assure you that our plans
to complete our initial Business Combination will be successful.
Results
of Operations
We
have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities from inception through March 31, 2021
were organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for our Initial Public Offering, described below, and, after our Initial Public
Offering, identifying a target company for an initial Business Combination. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until
after the completion of our initial Business Combination. We generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on marketable
securities held in the Trust Account. We incur expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting
and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses.
For
the three months ended March 31, 2021, we had a net income of $11,291,244, which consists of a change in the fair value of the warrant
liabilities $11,436,000 and interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $51,843, offset by general and administrative
expenses of $196,212 and a provision for income taxes of $387.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
On
August 4, 2020, we consummated our Initial Public Offering of 52,200,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the shares
of Class A common stock included in the units sold, the “Public Shares”) at a price of $10.00 per Unit, at $10.00 per Unit,
generating gross proceeds of $522,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of our Initial Public Offering, we consummated the sale of
1,200,000 units (each, a “Placement Unit” and collectively, the “Placement Units”) to E.Merge Technology Sponsor
LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”), at a price of $10.00 per Placement Unit, generating gross proceeds
of $12,000,000.
On
September 4, 2020, in connection with the underwriters’ election to partially exercise of their option to purchase additional Units,
we consummated the sale of an additional 7,800,000 Units, generating total gross proceeds of $78,000,000.
Following
our Initial Public Offering, the partial exercise of the over-allotment option and the sale of the Placement Units, a total of $600,000,000
was placed in the Trust Account. We incurred $33,039,544 in transaction costs, including $9,840,000 of underwriting fees, $22,560,000
of deferred underwriting fees and $639,544 of other offering costs.
For
the three months ended March 31, 2021, cash used in operating activities was $230,734. Net income of $11,291,244 was offset by a change
in fair value of warrant liabilities $11,436,000, interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $51,843 and changes
in operating assets and liabilities, which used $34,135 of cash from operating activities.
As
of March 31, 2021, we had investments of $600,171,152 held in the Trust Account. We intend to use substantially all of the funds held
in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account (less taxes paid and deferred underwriting
commissions) to complete our initial Business Combination. We may withdraw interest to pay taxes. Through March 31, 2021, we did not
withdraw any interest earned on the Trust Account. To the extent that our capital stock or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration
to complete our initial Business Combination, the remaining proceeds held in the Trust Account will be used as working capital to finance
the operations of the target business or businesses, make other acquisitions and pursue our growth strategies.
As
of March 31, 2021, we had cash of $719,118 outside of the Trust Account. We intend to use the funds held outside the Trust Account primarily
to identify and evaluate target businesses, perform business due diligence on prospective target businesses, travel to and from the offices,
plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, review corporate documents and material
agreements of prospective target businesses, and structure, negotiate and complete our initial Business Combination.
In
order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with our initial Business Combination, our Sponsor
or an affiliate of 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 our 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. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into units identical to the
Placement Units, at a price of $10.00 per unit at the option of the lender.
We
do not currently believe we will need to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required for operating our business.
However, if our estimate of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating our initial
Business Combination are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, we may have insufficient funds available to operate our business
prior to our initial Business Combination. Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing either to complete our initial Business
Combination or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our Public Shares upon consummation of our initial Business
Combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such Business Combination. Subject to
compliance with applicable securities laws, we would only complete such financing simultaneously with the completion of our initial Business
Combination. If we are unable to complete our initial Business Combination because we do not have sufficient funds available to us, we
will be forced to cease operations and liquidate the Trust Account. In addition, following our initial Business Combination, if cash
on hand is insufficient, we may need to obtain additional financing in order to meet our obligations.
Off-Balance
Sheet Financing Arrangements
We
have no obligations, assets or liabilities, which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of March 31, 2021. We do not
participate in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable
interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements. We have not entered
into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other
entities, or purchased any non-financial assets.
Contractual
Obligations
We
do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities, other than an agreement
to pay an affiliate of the Sponsor a monthly fee up to $15,000 for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support
services. We began incurring these fees on July 30, 2020 and will continue to incur these fees monthly until the earlier of the completion
of the Business Combination and our liquidation.
The
underwriters are entitled to a deferred fee of $22,560,000 in the aggregate. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriters
from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completes a Business Combination, subject to the terms
of the underwriting agreement.
Critical
Accounting Policies
The
preparation of unaudited condensed financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America 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 financial statements, and income and expenses during
the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have identified the following critical accounting
policies:
Warrant
Liability
We
account for our warrants in accordance with the guidance contained in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 815-40 under
which the warrants that do not meet the criteria for equity treatment and must be recorded as liabilities. Accordingly, we classify our
warrants as liabilities at their fair value and adjust the warrants to fair value at each reporting period. This liability is subject
to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in our statement of operations.
The fair value of our placement warrants was determined using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. The public warrants for periods where
no observable traded price was available are valued using a Monte Carlo simulation model. For periods subsequent to the detachment of
the public warrants from the Units, the public warrant quoted market price was used as the fair value as of each relevant date.
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 Topic 480 “Distinguishing
Liabilities from Equity.” Class A common stock subject to mandatory redemption is classified as a liability instrument and is measured
at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including common stock that features 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) is classified as
temporary equity. At all other times, common stock is classified as stockholders’ equity. Our common stock features certain redemption
rights that are considered to be outside of our control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, the Class
A common stock subject to possible redemption is presented as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ equity section of
our unaudited condensed balance sheets.
Net
Loss per Common Share
We
apply the two-class method in calculating earnings per share. Net income per common share, basic and diluted, for Class A redeemable
common stock is calculated by dividing the interest income earned on the Trust Account, net of applicable taxes, by the weighted average
number of shares of Class A redeemable common stock outstanding for the period. Net income (loss) per common share, basic and diluted,
for Class A and Class B non-redeemable common stock is calculated by dividing net income (loss) less income attributable to Class A
redeemable common stock, by the weighted average number of shares of Class A and Class B non-redeemable common stock outstanding
for the periods presented.
Recent
Accounting Standards
In
August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, “Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives
and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an
Entity’s Own Equity” (“ASU 2020-06”), which simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major
separation models required under current GAAP. ASU 2020-06 removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts
to qualify for the derivative scope exception and it also simplifies the diluted earnings per share calculation in certain areas.
ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with
early adoption permitted. We adopted ASU 2020-06 effective as of January 1, 2021. The adoption of ASU 2020-06 did not have an impact
on our financial statements.
Management
does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material
effect on our unaudited condensed financial statements.
