This Supplement No. 1 should be read in conjunction with the proxy statement/prospectus, which should be read carefully and in its entirety.
SUPPLEMENT NO. 1 TO THE PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS
​
Forward-Looking Statements
The proxy statement/prospectus as supplement by Supplement No. 1 contains forward-looking statements that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in the proxy statement/prospectus as supplement by Supplement No. 1, including statements regarding HUB Security’s, RNER’s or the combined company’s future financial position, business strategy and plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “believe,” “may,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “should,” “plan,” “expect,” “predict,” “potential” or the negative of these terms or other similar expressions. Forward-looking statements include, without limitation, HUB Security’s or RNER’s expectations concerning the outlook for their or the combined company’s business, productivity, plans and goals for future operational improvements and capital investments, operational performance, future market conditions or economic performance and developments in the capital and credit markets and expected future financial performance, as well as any information concerning possible or assumed future results of operations of the combined company as set forth in the sections of the proxy statement/prospectus titled “Proposal One — The Business Combination Proposal — RNER’s Board of Directors’ Reasons for the Business Combination and Recommendation of Its Board of Directors.” Forward-looking statements also include statements regarding the expected benefits of the proposed Business Combination between HUB Security and RNER.
Forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions, and actual results or events may differ materially from those projected or implied in those statements. Important factors that could cause such differences include, but are not limited to:
•
HUB is a company with a history of net losses. HUB anticipates increasing operating expenses in the future, and it may not be able to achieve or maintain profitability.
​
•
HUB’s limited operating history makes it difficult to evaluate its business and future prospects and increases the risk of your investment.
​
•
HUB’s reputation and business could be harmed based on real or perceived shortcomings, defects or vulnerabilities in its solutions or if its customers experience security breaches, which could have a material adverse effect on HUB’s business, reputation and operating results.
​
•
HUB’s ability to introduce new products, features, integrations, and enhancements is dependent on adequate research and development resources.
​
•
HUB currently has and targets many customers that are large corporations and government entities, which are subject to a number of challenges and risks, such as increased competitive pressures, administrative delays and additional approval requirements.
​
•
HUB may not be able to convert its customer orders in backlog or pipeline into revenue.
​
•
HUB may need to raise additional funds in the future in order to execute its business plan and these funds may not be available to HUB when it needs them. If HUB cannot raise additional funds when it needs them, its business, prospects, financial condition and operating results could be negatively affected.
​
•
The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted and may continue to impact HUB’s business, operating results and financial condition.
​
•
A shortage of components or manufacturing capacity could cause a delay in HUB’s ability to fulfill orders or increase its manufacturing costs.
​
•
HUB’s management team has limited experience managing a U.S. listed public company.
​
 
3
​
 
•
HUB’s business relies on the performance of, and HUB faces stark competition for, highly skilled personnel, including its management, other key employees and qualified employees, and the loss of one or more of such personnel or of a significant number of its team members or the inability to attract and retain executives and qualified employees HUB needs to support its operations and growth, could harm HUB’s business.
​
•
Changes in tax laws or exposure to additional income tax liabilities could affect HUB’s future profitability.
​
•
As a cyber security provider, if any of HUB’s systems, its customers’ cloud or on-premises environments, or its internal systems are breached or if unauthorized access to customer or third-party data is otherwise obtained, public perception of its business may be harmed, and HUB may lose business and incur losses or liabilities.
​
•
Undetected defects and errors may increase HUB’s costs and impair the market acceptance of its products and solutions.
​
•
HUB may not be able to adequately protect or enforce its intellectual property rights or prevent unauthorized parties from copying or reverse engineering its products or technology. Its efforts to protect and enforce its intellectual property rights and prevent third parties from violating its rights may be costly.
​
•
The dynamic regulatory environment around privacy and data protection may limit HUB’s offering or require modification of its products and services, which could limit its ability to attract new customers and support its existing customers and increase its operational expenses. HUB could also be subject to investigations, litigation, or enforcement actions alleging that it fails to comply with the regulatory requirements, which could harm its operating results and adversely affect its business.
​
•
HUB’s actual or perceived failure to adequately protect personal data could subject it to sanctions and damages and could harm HUB’s reputation and business.
​
•
HUB may be required to indemnify its directors and officers in certain circumstances.
​
•
A market for HUB’s securities may not develop or be sustained, which would adversely affect the liquidity and price of its securities.
​
•
HUB’s internal controls over financial reporting may not be effective and its independent registered public accounting firm may not be able to certify as to their effectiveness, which could have a significant and adverse effect on HUB’s business and reputation.
​
•
HUB’s ordinary shares are currently listed and, following the consummation of the Business Combination, unless otherwise approved by the Israeli court, may continue to be listed for a period of time on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (TASE), and this may result in price variations.
​
•
Class action litigation due to stock price volatility or other factors could cause HUB to incur substantial costs and divert management’s attention and resources.
​
•
If HUB’s estimates or judgments relating to its critical accounting policies are based on assumptions that change or prove to be incorrect, HUB’s operating results could fall below expectations of securities analysts and investors, resulting in a decline in HUB’s stock price.
​
•
Provisions of Israeli law and HUB’s articles of association may delay, prevent or make difficult an acquisition of HUB, prevent a change of control, and negatively impact HUB’s share price.
​
•
The HUB ordinary shares and HUB warrants may not be listed on a national securities exchange after the Business Combination, which could limit investors’ ability to make transactions in such securities and subject HUB to additional trading restrictions.
​
•
If, following the Business Combination, securities or industry analysts do not publish or cease publishing research or reports about HUB, its business, or its market, or if they change their recommendations regarding the HUB ordinary shares adversely, then the price and trading volume of the HUB ordinary shares could decline.
​
 
4
​
 
•
As HUB is a “foreign private issuer” and intends to follow certain home country corporate governance practices, its shareholders may not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to all Nasdaq corporate governance requirements.
​
•
The listing of HUB securities on Nasdaq will not benefit from the process undertaken in connection with an underwritten initial public offering, which could result in diminished investor demand, inefficiencies in pricing and a more volatile public price for HUB’s securities.
​
•
Conditions in Israel could materially and adversely affect HUB’s business.
​
•
It may be difficult to enforce a U.S. judgment against HUB, its officers and directors and the Israeli experts named in the proxy statement/prospectus in Israel or the United States, or to assert U.S. securities laws claims in Israel or serve process on HUB’s officers and directors and these experts.
​
•
Code Section 7874 may limit the ability of RNER and certain related U.S. corporations to use certain tax attributes following the Business Combination, increase HUB’s U.S. affiliates’ U.S. taxable income or have other adverse consequences to HUB and HUB’s shareholders.
​
•
RNER may not have sufficient funds to consummate the Business Combination.
​
•
HUB may issue additional HUB ordinary shares or other equity securities without seeking approval of the HUB shareholders, which would dilute the ownership interests represented by HUB ordinary shares and may depress the market price of the HUB ordinary shares.
​
•
The Sponsor, an affiliate of current officers and directors of RNER, is liable to ensure that proceeds of the Trust Account are not reduced by vendor claims in the event the Business Combination is not consummated. Such liability may have influenced RNER’s board of directors’ decision to pursue the Business Combination and RNER’s board of directors’ decision to approve it.
​
•
The projections and forecasts presented in the proxy statement/prospectus may not be an indication of the actual results of the transaction or HUB’s future results.
​
•
The Business Combination may be completed even though material adverse effects may result from the announcement of the Business Combination, industry-wide changes and other causes.
​
•
Delays in completing the Business Combination may substantially reduce the expected benefits of the Business Combination.
​
•
If RNER is unable to complete the Business Combination or another business combination by January 7, 2023 (or such other date as approved by RNER stockholders through approval of an amendment to the RNER Charter), RNER will cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, redeeming 100% of the outstanding public shares and, subject to the approval of its remaining stockholders and its board of directors, dissolving and liquidating. In such event, RNER public stockholders may only receive $10 per share (or less than such amount in certain circumstances) and RNER warrants will expire worthless.
​
•
Pursuant to the terms of the Put and Call Option Agreement, HUB may be required to buy back certain of its ordinary shares from certain members of the Sponsor group to cover certain tax liabilities of such members.
​
•
If the Adjournment Proposal is not approved, RNER’s board of directors will not have the ability to adjourn the special meeting to a later date.
​
•
The other matters described in the section titled “Risk Factors” beginning on page 18 of the proxy statement/prospectus.
​
In addition, the Transactions are subject to the satisfaction of the conditions to the completion of the Business Combination set forth in the Business Combination Agreement and the absence of events that could give rise to the termination of the Business Combination Agreement, the possibility that the Business Combination does not close, and risks that the proposed Business Combination disrupts current plans and operations and business relationships, or poses difficulties in attracting or retaining employees for HUB Security.

HUB Security and RNER caution you against placing undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which reflect current beliefs and are based on information currently available as of the date a forward-looking statement is made. Forward-looking statements set forth herein speak only as of the date of the proxy statement/prospectus as supplement by Supplement No. 1. Neither HUB Security nor RNER undertakes any obligation to revise forward-looking statements to reflect future events, changes in circumstances, or changes in beliefs. In the event that any forward-looking statement is updated, no inference should be made that HUB Security or RNER will make additional updates with respect to that statement, related matters, or any other forward-looking statements. Any corrections or revisions and other important assumptions and factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from forward-looking statements, including discussions of significant risk factors, may appear, up to the consummation of the Business Combination, in RNER’s public filings with the SEC or, upon and following the consummation of the Business Combination, in HUB Security’s public filings with the SEC, which are or will be (as appropriate) accessible at www.sec.gov, and which you are advised to consult. For additional information, please see the section titled “Where You Can Find More Information” beginning on page 268 of the proxy statement/prospectus.
Market, ranking and industry data used throughout the proxy statement/prospectus, including statements regarding market size and technology adoption rates, is based on the good faith estimates of HUB Security’s management, which in turn are based upon HUB Security’s Management’s review of internal surveys, independent industry surveys and publications including third party research and publicly available information. These data involve a number of assumptions and limitations, and you are cautioned not to give undue weight to such estimates. While HUB Security is not aware of any misstatements regarding the industry data presented herein, its estimates involve risks and uncertainties and are subject to change based on various factors, including those discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” and “HUB Security’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in the proxy statement/prospectus.

RNER’s stockholders and HUB Security’s stockholders and other interested persons are advised to read the definitive proxy statement/prospectus together with this Supplement No. 1, other supplements thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein filed in connection with the Business Combination, as these materials contain important information about RNER, HUB Security and the Business Combination.
