Overview


We are a blank check company formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities. We are not limited to any particular industry or geographic location in selecting a target business with which to engage in a business combination.

We consummated the Offering on December 4, 2020. All activity through December 4, 2020 relates to our formation, the Offering (as defined below) and simultaneous private placement of private placement warrants, as described below, our search for a target business with which to complete an initial business combination and activities in connection with the proposed business combination with Doma Holdings, Inc. ("Doma").





Recent Developments



Doma


On March 2, 2021, we entered into a definitive merger agreement (the "Merger Agreement") with Capitol V Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and our direct wholly owned subsidiary ("Merger Sub"), and Doma. The Merger Agreement, among other things, provides that:





  ? we will amend and restate our amended and restated certificate of
    incorporation to, among other things, change the name of the Company to Doma
    Holdings, Inc.;




  ? we will replace our bylaws by adopting amended and restated bylaws for the
    post-combination company;




                                       19





  ? we have entered into various subscription agreements with certain third-party
    investors (the "PIPE Investors") pursuant to which the PIPE Investors have
    committed to make private investments in public equity in the form of Class A
    common stock in the aggregate amount of $300 million, for which the PIPE
    Investors will receive an aggregate of 30 million shares of common stock in
    the combined company ("New Doma Common Stock"); and




  ? (i) without any action on the part of any holder of our warrant, each warrant
    that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the closing of the initial
    business combination with Doma will become a warrant of the post-combination
    company, exercisable for New Doma Common Stock in accordance with its terms;
    and (ii) without any action on the part of the holders of our Class B common
    stock, each share of Class B common stock that is issued and outstanding
    immediately prior to the closing of the initial business combination with Doma
    will automatically convert into one share of New Doma Common Stock.



The business combination with Doma will be consummated subject to certain conditions as further described in the Merger Agreement. In connection with the proposed business combination, the special meeting of the stockholders of the Company will be held at 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on July 27, 2021, in virtual format.

Doma is a leading force for disruptive change in the residential real estate industry. Doma uses machine intelligence to replace large portions of the antiquated residential real estate closing process with instant technology solutions. Doma's machine intelligence algorithms are being trained and optimized on 30 years of historical anonymized closing transaction data, allowing Doma to make underwriting decisions in less than a minute and significantly reduce the time, effort and cost of the entire process. It is expected that Mark D. Ein will join the combined company's board of directors upon completion of the transaction.

Additional information regarding Doma and the potential business combination with Doma is available in the definitive proxy statement/prospectus filed by the Company with the SEC on July 2, 2021.





Promissory Notes


On March 12, 2021, April 20, 2021 and July 15, 2021, the directors of the Company agreed to loan the Company an aggregate of $400,000, $300,000 and $370,000, respectively, for an aggregate of $1,070,000. The promissory notes are provided to cover certain expenses related to the business combination pursuant to a promissory note (the "Note"). Each Promissory Note is non-interest bearing and is payable at the consummation by the Company of a business combination. Upon consummation of a business combination, the lenders will have the option to convert up to $2,000,000 of the principal balance of such Promissory Notes into warrants at a price of $1.50 per warrant. The terms of any such warrants would be identical to the warrants issued by the Company in the Offering except that such warrants will be non-redeemable by the Company and will be exercisable for cash or on a "cashless" basis, in each case, so long as such warrants are held by the initial holder or such holder's permitted transferees. If a business combination is not consummated, all outstanding amounts under any Promissory Notes issued to the lenders will be forgiven except to the extent that the Company has funds available to it outside of its trust account established in connection with the Offering to repay such amounts.





Results of Operations


We will not generate any operating revenues until the closing and completion of our business combination. We are incurring 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 June 30, 2021, we had net loss of $330,831, which consists of operating costs of $858,357, offset by change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $520,000, interest income on marketable securities held in the trust account of $5,686 and unrealized gain on marketable securities held in the trust account of $1,840.





                                       20




For the six months ended June 30, 2021, we had net income of $5,854,968, which consists of interest income on marketable securities held in the trust account of $53,045, gain from the change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $7,800,000, offset by operating costs of $1,998,077.

For the three months ended June 30, 2020, we had a net loss of $277, which consists of operating costs.

For the six months ended June 30, 2020, we had a net loss of $297, which consists of operating costs.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Until the consummation of the Offering, our only source of liquidity was an initial purchase of ordinary shares by Capitol Acquisition Management V LLC and Capitol Acquisition Founder V LLC (collectively, the "Sponsors"), and loans and advances from related parties.

On December 4, 2020, we consummated our initial public offering (the "Offering") of 34,500,000 Units. The Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds to us of $345,000,000. Simultaneously with the consummation of the Offering on December 4, 2020, we completed a private placement of 5,833,333 private placement warrants at a purchase price of $1.50 per private placement warrant, to our Sponsors and our independent directors, generating gross proceeds to us of $8,750,000. Approximately $338.1 million of the net proceeds from the Offering and $6.9 million of the proceeds from the sale of the private placement warrants have been deposited in a trust account maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, acting as trustee, established for the benefit of our public stockholders. After paying expenses associated with the Offering and the private placement, we had approximately $1.0 million of cash held outside the trust account for working capital.

Except for the withdrawal from the trust account of interest earned on the funds held therein necessary to pay taxes, if any, the funds in the trust account will not be released to us until the earlier of the completion of a business combination or our liquidation upon our failure to consummate a business combination within the required time period (which may not occur until December 4, 2022).

For the six months ended June 30, 2021, cash used in operating activities was $1,385,848. Net income of $5,854,968 was affected by interest earned on marketable securities held in the trust account of $53,045, a gain from the change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $7,800,000 and changes in operating assets and liabilities, which provided of $612,229 of cash.

For the six months ended June 30, 2020, cash used in operating activities was $2,232. Net loss of $297 was offset by changes in operating assets and liabilities, which provided $1,935 of cash from operating activities.

As of June 30, 2021, we had cash and marketable securities held in the trust account of $345,013,964. We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the trust account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the trust account not previously released to us (less taxes payable and deferred underwriting commissions) to complete our initial business combination. We may withdraw interest to pay our taxes. To the extent that our equity 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 June 30, 2021, we had cash of $0 outside of the trust account. On July 15, 2021, our directors provided a $370,000 loan to us, to be held outside 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 a business combination.

We do not believe we will need to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required for operating our business prior to our initial business combination. However, if our estimates of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating an 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. In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial business combination, our sponsors, officers and directors or their respective affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required on a non-interest basis.





                                       21




In February 2021, the Sponsors and the independent directors collectively committed to provide us an aggregate of $970,000 in loans. In May 2021, the Sponsors and the independent directors collectively committed to provide an additional $756,000 in loans. In July 2021, the Sponsors provided a commitment to provide an additional 627,000 in loans. As of June 30, 2021, the Company had an outstanding balance of $700,000 under such promissory notes (none of which had been converted to warrants). On July 15, 2021, we issued an additional $370,000 under such promissory notes. These loans, as well as any future loans that may be made by our officers and directors (or their affiliates), will be evidenced by notes and 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 $2,000,000 of such loans may be convertible into warrants of the post-business combination entity at a price of $1.50 per warrant at the option of the lender. The warrants would be identical to the private placement warrants. Prior to the completion of our initial business combination, we do not expect to seek loans from parties other than our sponsors, officers, directors or their respective affiliates as we do not believe third parties will be willing to loan such funds and provide a waiver against any and all rights to seek access to funds in our trust account.

Based on the loan commitment provided by the Sponsors and the independent directors, we believe we will have sufficient cash to meet the Company's working capital needs through the earlier of consummation of a Business Combination or July 15, 2022.

We may need to obtain additional financing to complete our initial business combination, either because the transaction requires more cash than is available from the proceeds held in our trust account or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our public shares upon completion of the business combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such 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.

Off-balance sheet financing arrangements

We did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as of June 30, 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 two affiliates of our executive officers an aggregate monthly fee of $20,000 for office space and secretarial support provided to the Company. We began incurring these fees on December 4, 2020 and will continue to incur these fees monthly until the earlier of the completion of a business combination and the Company's liquidation.

The underwriters are entitled to a deferred underwriting discount of 3.5% of the gross proceeds of the Offering or an aggregate of $12,075,000, which were placed in the trust account.

We entered into a fee arrangement with a service provider pursuant to which certain fees incurred by us will be deferred and become payable only if we consummate a business combination. If a business combination does not occur, we will not be required to pay these contingent fees. As of June 30, 2021, the amount of these contingent fees was approximately $2,963,000. There can be no assurances that we will complete a business combination.





                                       22




In December 2020, subsequent to the consummation of our Offering, we entered into three consulting arrangements for services to help identify and introduce us to potential targets and provide assistance with due diligence, deal structuring, documentation and obtaining shareholder approval for an initial business combination. We entered into an additional consulting agreement for similar services in March 2021. These agreements provide for an aggregate monthly fee of $74,167 and aggregate success fees of $1,380,000 payable upon the consummation of an initial business combination.





Critical Accounting Policies


The preparation of 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 Liabilities


We account for the warrants issued in connection with our initial public offering in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 815-40, "Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity's Own Equity" ("ASC 815"), under which the warrants do not meet the criteria for equity classification and must be recorded as liabilities. As the warrants meet the definition of a derivative as contemplated in ASC 815, the Warrants are measured at fair value at inception and at each reporting date in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, with changes in fair value recognized in the statement of operations in the period of change.

Class A Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption

We account for our shares of Class A common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 480 "Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity." Shares of 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 balance sheets.





Net Loss per Common Share


We apply the two-class method in calculating earnings per share. Net loss 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 periods. Net loss per common share, basic and diluted for and Class B non-redeemable common stock is calculated by dividing net loss less income attributable to Class A redeemable common stock, by the weighted average number of shares of Class B non-redeemable common stock outstanding for the period presented.





Recent Accounting Standards


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 financial statements.
