Overview

We are a blank check company incorporated on February 6, 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 target businesses. We intend to effectuate our Business Combination using cash from the proceeds of our Initial Public Offering , the sale of the Private Placement Warrants that occurred simultaneously with the completion of our Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Forward Purchase Units, 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.

The issuance of additional shares in connection with an initial Business Combination to the owners of the target or other investors, including the Forward Purchase Units:





     •    may significantly dilute the equity interest of investors in this
          offering, which dilution would increase if the anti-dilution provisions
          in the Class B common stock resulted in the issuance of Class A common
          stock on a greater than one-to-one basis upon conversion of the Class B
          common stock;




     •    may subordinate the rights of holders of Class A common stock if shares
          of preferred stock are issued with rights senior to those afforded our
          Class A common stock;




     •    could cause a change in control if a substantial number of shares of our
          Class A common stock are issued, which may affect, among other things,
          our ability to use our net operating loss carry forwards, if any, and
          could result in the resignation or removal of our present officers and
          directors;




     •    may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control of us
          by diluting the share ownership or voting rights of a person seeking to
          obtain control of us; and




     •    may adversely affect prevailing market prices for our Class A common
          stock and/or warrants.

Similarly, if we issue debt securities or otherwise incur significant debt to bank or other lenders or the owners of a target, it could result in:





     •    default and foreclosure on our assets if our operating revenues after an
          initial Business Combination are insufficient to repay our debt
          obligations;




     •    acceleration of our obligations to repay the indebtedness even if we make
          all principal and interest payments when due if we breach certain
          covenants that require the maintenance of certain financial ratios or
          reserves without a waiver or renegotiation of that covenant;




                                       15

     •    our immediate payment of all principal and accrued interest, if any, if
          the debt is payable on demand;




     •    our inability to obtain necessary additional financing if the debt
          contains covenants restricting our ability to obtain such financing while
          the debt is outstanding;




  •   our inability to pay dividends on our Class A common stock;




     •    using a substantial portion of our cash flow to pay principal and
          interest on our debt, which will reduce the funds available for dividends
          on our Class A common stock if declared, expenses, capital expenditures,
          acquisitions and other general corporate purposes;




     •    limitations on our flexibility in planning for and reacting to changes in
          our business and in the industry in which we operate;




     •    increased vulnerability to adverse changes in general economic, industry
          and competitive conditions and adverse changes in government regulation;
          and




     •    limitations on our ability to borrow additional amounts for expenses,
          capital expenditures, acquisitions, debt service requirements, execution
          of our strategy and other purposes and other disadvantages compared to
          our competitors who have less debt.

We expect to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our acquisition plans. We cannot assure you that our plans to complete a Business Combination will be successful.

Results of Operations

We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities through June 30, 2020 were organizational activities, including those necessary to prepare for the Initial Public Offering, described below, and identifying a target company for our 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 in connection with completing our initial Business Combination.

For the three months ended June 30, 2020, we had a net loss of $35,385, which consists of operating costs of $62,948, offset by interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $27,563.

For the period from February 6, 2020 (inception) through June 30, 2020, we had a net loss of $36,385, which consists of operating costs of $63,948, offset by interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $27,563.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

On June 11, 2020, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 41,400,000 Units, which included the full exercise by the underwriters of the over-allotment option to purchase an additional 5,400,000 Units, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $414,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the sale of 10,280,000 Private Placement Warrants to our Sponsor at a price of $1.00 per warrant, generating gross proceeds of $10,280,000.

Following the Initial Public Offering, the exercise of the over-allotment option and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, a total of $414,000,000 was placed in the Trust Account. We incurred $23,353,182 in transaction costs, including $8,280,000 of underwriting fees, $14,490,000 of deferred underwriting fees and $583,182 of other offering costs.

For the period from February 6, 2020 (inception) through June 30, 2020, cash used in operating activities was $159,665. Net loss of $36,385 was affected by interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $27,563, formation costs paid by the Sponsor of $2,125 and changes in operating assets and liabilities, which used $97,842 of cash from operating activities.

As of June 30, 2020, we had cash and marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $414,027,563. 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 payable and deferred underwriting commissions) to complete our initial Business Combination. 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. During the period ended June 30, 2020, we did not withdraw any interest income from the Trust Account.

As of June 30, 2020, we had $1,505,028 of cash held 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 a 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 a Business Combination, we would repay such loaned amounts. In the event that a 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 warrants identical to the Private Placement Warrants, at a price of $1.00 per warrant at the option of the lender.

We do not 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 a 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 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 June 30, 2020. 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 our Sponsor a monthly fee of $10,000 for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative services to the Company. We began incurring these fees on June 8, 2020 and will continue to incur these fees monthly until the earlier of the completion of our Business Combination and the Company's liquidation.

The underwriters are entitled to a deferred fee of $0.35 per Unit, or $14,490,000 in the aggregate. The deferred fee will be forfeited by the underwriters in the event that the Company fails to complete a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

In addition, we into a forward purchase agreement with HEC Master pursuant to which HEC Master has committed to purchase from us up to 5,000,000 Forward Purchase Units, for $10.00 per unit, or an aggregate amount of up to $50,000,000, in a private placement that will close concurrently with the closing of a Business Combination. The proceeds from the sale of these Forward Purchase Units, together with the amounts available to us from the Trust Account (after giving effect to any redemptions of Public Shares) and any other equity or debt financing obtained by us in connection with the Business Combination, will be used to satisfy the cash requirements of the Business Combination, including funding the purchase price and paying expenses and retaining specified amounts to be used by the post-Business Combination company for working capital or other purposes. To the extent that the amounts available from the Trust Account and other financing are sufficient for such cash requirements, HEC Master may purchase less than 5,000,000 Forward Purchase Units. In addition, HEC Master's commitment under the forward purchase agreement will be subject to approval, prior to us entering into a definitive agreement for the initial Business Combination, of its investment committee. Pursuant to the terms of the forward purchase agreement, HEC Master will have the option to assign its commitment to one of its affiliates and up to $2,500,000 to members of our management team. The Forward Purchase Shares will be identical to the shares of Class A common stock included in the units sold in the Initial Public Offering, except that they will be subject to transfer restrictions and registration rights. The Forward Purchase Warrants will have the same terms as the Private Placement Warrants so long as they are held by HEC Master or its permitted assignees and transferees.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of 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:

Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption

We account for our common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 480 "Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity." 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, common stock subject to possible redemption is presented as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders' equity section of our condensed balance sheet.

Net Income (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 franchise and income taxes, by the weighted average number of Class A redeemable common stock outstanding for the period. Net loss per common share, basic and diluted for Class B non-redeemable common stock is calculated by dividing the net income, less income attributable to Class A redeemable common stock, by the weighted average number of Class B non-redeemable common stock outstanding for the period presented.

Recent Accounting Standards

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on our financial statements.
