Overview

We are a blank check company incorporated in Delaware on September 1, 2020, for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses (the "Business Combination") that we have not yet identified. We are an emerging growth company and, as such, we are subject to all of the risks associated with emerging growth companies. Our sponsor is Lux Encore Sponsor, LP, a Delaware limited partnership and an affiliate of certain of our officers and directors (our "Sponsor").

Our registration statement for our initial public offering (the "Initial Public Offering") was declared effective on October 26, 2020. On October 29, 2020, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 34,500,000 units (the "Units" and, with respect to the Class A common stock included in the Units being offered, the "Public Shares"), which included 4,500,000 Units issued pursuant to the full exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $345.0 million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $19.9 million, inclusive of $12.1 million in deferred underwriting commissions.

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the private placement ("Private Placement") of 5,933,333 warrants (each, a "Private Placement Warrant" and collectively, the "Private Placement Warrants") to the Sponsor, each exercisable to purchase one share of Class A common stock at $11.50 per share, at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds of $8.9 million.

Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement, $345.0 million of the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and certain of the proceeds from the sale of Private Placement Warrants in the Private Placement were placed in a trust account ("Trust Account") located in the United States with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee, and invested only in United States "government securities" within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act having a maturity of 180 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations, as determined by us, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account as described below.

Our management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of Private Placement Warrants, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. There is no assurance that we will be able to complete a Business Combination successfully. We must complete one or more initial Business Combinations having an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the net assets held in the Trust Account (as defined below) (excluding the amount of deferred underwriting discounts held in Trust and taxes payable on the income earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the agreement to enter into the initial Business Combination. However, we only intend to complete a Business Combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the issued and 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 1940, as amended (the "Investment Company Act").

If we are unable to complete a Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering, or October 29, 2022, (the "Combination Period"), and our stockholders have not amended the Certificate of Incorporation to extend such Combination Period, we will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but no more than ten business days thereafter subject to lawfully available funds therefor, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on



                                       22

deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to us to pay our taxes as well as expenses relating to the administration of the Trust Account (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses) divided by the number of the then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Public Stockholders' rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law; and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining stockholders and the board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to our obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

Results of Operations

Our entire activity from September 1, 2020 (inception) through October 29, 2020, was in preparation for an Initial Public Offering, and since our Initial Public Offering through March 31, 2022, our activity has been limited to the search for a prospective initial Business Combination. We will not generate any operating revenues until the closing and completion of our initial Business Combination.

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, we had net income of approximately $7.6 million, which consisted of approximately $7.8 million in change in fair value of derivative warrant liabilities, approximately $2,000 in change in valuation of the Convertible promissory note - related party, and approximately $27,000 of income from investments held in Trust Account, partly offset by approximately $280,000 of loss from operations including approximately $231,000 of general and administrative expenses and approximately $49,000 of franchise tax expense.

For the three months ended March 31, 2021, we had a net income of approximately $17.6 million, which consisted of approximately $18.0 million in change in fair value of derivative warrant liabilities and approximately $5,000 of income from investments held in Trust Account, partly offset by approximately $377,000 of loss from operations including approximately $285,000 of general and administrative expenses, approximately $43,000 of general and administrative expenses - related party, and approximately $49,000 of franchise tax expense.

Going Concern

As of March 31, 2022, we had approximately $129,000 in cash and working capital deficit of approximately $17,000 (not taking into account tax obligations of approximately $49,000 that may be paid using investment income earned from Trust Account and the Convertible promissory note - related party from our Sponsor at fair value of approximately $482,000). Further, we expect to incur significant costs in pursuit of our acquisition plans. Our plans to raise capital and to consummate an initial business combination may not be successful. We also need to raise additional funds to meet our obligations and sustain our operations. In order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, our Sponsor may, but is not obligated to, provide us with Working Capital Loans. As of March 31, 2022, there was $500,000 of principal borrowings under Working Capital Loans outstanding.

In connection with the Company's assessment of going concern considerations, in accordance with ASC Topic 205-40, "Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern," management determined that the mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution as well as working capital deficit raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern one year from the date that these financial statements are issued. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should we be required to liquidate after October 29, 2022. The unaudited condensed financial statements do not include any adjustment that might be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern.



Related Party Transactions

Founder Shares

On September 4, 2020, our Sponsor purchased 8,625,000 shares of our Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, (the "Founder Shares") for an aggregate price of $25,000. Our Sponsor agreed to forfeit up to 1,125,000 Founder Shares to the extent that the over-allotment option was not exercised in full by the underwriters, so that the Founder Shares would represent 20.0% of our issued and outstanding shares after the Initial Public Offering. The underwriters



                                       23

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

exercised their over-allotment option in full on October 29, 2020; thus, the 1,125,000 Founder Shares were no longer subject to forfeiture.

In October 2020, the Sponsor transferred 40,000 Founder Shares to each of three independent directors, a total of 120,000 Founder Shares. The fair value of the 120,000 Founder shares granted to each independent directors was $296,400 each, or $7.41 per share, or $889,200 in the aggregate. The transfer of the Founder Shares is in the scope of FASB ASC Topic 718, "Compensation-Stock Compensation" ("ASC 718"). Under ASC 718, stock-based compensation associated with equity-classified awards is measured at fair value upon the grant date. The Founders Shares were granted subject to a performance condition (i.e., the occurrence of a Business Combination). Compensation expense related to the Founders Shares is recognized only when the performance condition is probable of occurrence under the applicable accounting literature in this circumstance. As of March 31, 2022, the Company determined that a Business Combination is not considered probable, and, therefore, no stock-based compensation expense has been recognized. Stock-based compensation would be recognized at the date a Business Combination is considered probable (i.e., upon completion of a Business Combination) in an amount equal to the number of Founders Shares that ultimately vest multiplied times the grant date fair value per share (unless subsequently modified) less the amount initially received for the purchase of the Founders Shares.

The initial stockholders agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of the Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of: (a) one year after the completion of the initial Business Combination and (b) upon completion of the initial Business Combination, (x) if the last reported sale price of Class A common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the initial Business Combination or (y) the date on which we complete a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange or other similar transaction after the initial Business Combination that results in all of the stockholders having the right to exchange their Class A common stock for cash, securities or other property.

Private Placement Warrants

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the Private Placement of 5,933,333 Private Placement Warrants to the Sponsor, each exercisable to purchase one share of Class A common stock at $11.50 per share, at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds to us of $8.9 million.

A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants to the Sponsor was added to the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account. If we do not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless. Except as set forth below, the Private Placement Warrants will be non-redeemable for cash and exercisable on a cashless basis so long as they are held by the Sponsor or their permitted transferees.

The purchasers of the Private Placement Warrants agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Private Placement Warrants (except to permitted transferees) until 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination.

Related Party Loans

On September 4, 2020, our Sponsor agreed to loan us an aggregate of up to $300,000 to cover expenses related to the Initial Public Offering pursuant to a promissory note (the "Note"). This loan was non-interest bearing and payable upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering. We borrowed approximately $172,000 under the Note and repaid this Note in full as of October 30, 2020.

In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, our Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, provide us with Working Capital Loans. If we complete a Business Combination, we will repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to us. 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, we 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. The Working Capital Loans would either be repaid upon consummation of



                                       24

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

a Business Combination or, at the lender's discretion, up to $1.5 million of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into warrants of the post Business Combination entity at a price of $1.50 per warrant. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. 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.

On December 3, 2021, we issued an unsecured the convertible promissory note (the "Convertible promissory note -related party") in the principal amount of $500,000 to our Sponsor. The Convertible promissory note -related party does not bear interest and is repayable in full upon consummation of our initial business combination (a "Business Combination"). If we do not complete a Business Combination, the Convertible promissory note - related party shall not be repaid and all amounts owed under it will be forgiven except to the extent that we have funds available to it outside of its trust account established in connection with the Initial Public Offering. Upon the consummation of a Business Combination, our Sponsor shall have the option, but not the obligation, to convert the principal balance of the Convertible promissory note - related party, in whole or in part, to warrants of our Company, at a price of $1.50 per warrant. The terms of the warrants will be identical to the terms of the warrants issued by the Company to the Sponsor in a private placement that took place simultaneously with the Company's Initial Public Offering. The Convertible promissory note - related party is subject to customary events of default, the occurrence of which, in certain instances, would automatically trigger the unpaid principal balance of the Convertible promissory note - related party and all other sums payable with regard to the Convertible promissory note - related party becoming immediately due and payable. At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the principal amount of $500,000 was outstanding under the Convertible promissory note - related party.

Services Agreement

Commencing on January 11, 2021, we entered into a services agreement with an affiliate of our Sponsor to provide full-time support in our search for a business combination. We agreed to reimburse for costs, fees, and expenses associated with the full-time support. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, we incurred approximately $43,000 of such support included as general and administrative expenses. The agreement was terminated on November 1, 2021 and as such, nothing was incurred in the three months ended March 31, 2022 and no amounts were due for such support at March 31, 2022.

Commitments and Contingencies

Forward Purchase Agreements

On October 22, 2020, we entered into a forward purchase agreement pursuant to which the Lux Ventures VI Entities have agreed to purchase an aggregate of up to 1,500,000 forward purchase units, each unit consisting of one forward purchase share and one third of one forward purchase warrant, for $10.00 per unit, or an aggregate maximum amount of $15,000,000, in a private placement that will close simultaneously with the closing of the initial Business Combination. The Lux Ventures VI Entities will purchase a number of forward purchase units that will result in gross proceeds to us necessary to enable us to consummate an initial Business Combination and pay related fees and expenses, after first applying amounts available to us from the Trust Account (after paying the deferred underwriting discount and giving effect to any redemptions of Public Shares) and any other financing source obtained by us for such purpose at or prior to the consummation of the initial Business Combination, plus any additional amounts mutually agreed by us and the Lux Ventures VI Entities to be retained by the post-Business Combination company for working capital or other purposes. The Lux Ventures VI Entities' obligation to purchase forward purchase units will, among other things, be conditioned on the Business Combination (including the target assets or business, and the terms of the Business Combination) being reasonably acceptable to the Lux Ventures VI Entities and on a requirement that such initial Business Combination is approved by a unanimous vote of the board of directors. In determining whether a target is reasonably acceptable to the Lux Ventures VI Entities, we expect that the Lux Ventures VI Entities would consider many of the same criteria as we will consider but will also consider whether the investment is an appropriate investment for the Lux Ventures VI Entities.

Registration Rights

The holders of Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans (and any shares of Class A common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement



                                       25

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Warrants or warrants issued upon conversion of the Working Capital Loans and upon conversion of the Founder Shares), are entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement. These holders will be entitled to certain demand and "piggyback" registration rights. However, the registration rights agreement provides that we will not be required to effect or permit any registration or cause any registration statement to become effective until termination of the applicable lock-up period. We will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Underwriting Agreement

The underwriters were entitled to an underwriting discount of $0.20 per Unit, or $6.9 million in the aggregate, paid upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering. An additional fee of $0.35 per Unit, or approximately $12.1 million in the aggregate will be payable to the underwriters for deferred underwriting commissions. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that we complete a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. A summary of our significant accounting policies is included in Note 2 to our condensed financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report. Certain of our accounting policies are considered critical, as these policies are the most important to the depiction of our financial statements and require significant, difficult or complex judgments, often employing the use of estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. Such policies are summarized in the Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section in our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 30, 2022. There have been no significant changes in the application of our critical accounting policies during the three months ended March 31, 2022

We believe that our critical accounting policies and estimates have a higher degree of inherent uncertainty and require our most significant judgments. In addition, if we had used estimates different from any of these, our unaudited condensed financial statements could have been materially different from those presented. There were no changes in our critical accounting policies and estimates during the three months ended March 31, 2022, from those set forth in "Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates" in our December 31, 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 30, 2022.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 2 to the unaudited condensed financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report for a discussion of recent accounting pronouncements.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of March 31, 2022, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K.

Inflation

We do not believe that inflation had a material impact on our business, revenues or operating results during the period presented.




                                       26

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

JOBS Act

The Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the "JOBS Act") contains provisions that, among other things, relax certain reporting requirements for qualifying public companies. We qualify as an "emerging growth company" and under the JOBS Act are allowed to comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements based on the effective date for private (not publicly traded) companies. We are electing to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards, and as a result, we may not comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non-emerging growth companies. As a result, the unaudited condensed financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.

Additionally, we are in the process of evaluating the benefits of relying on the other reduced reporting requirements provided by the JOBS Act. Subject to certain conditions set forth in the JOBS Act, if, as an "emerging growth company," we choose to rely on such exemptions we may not be required to, among other things, (i) provide an auditor's attestation report on our system of internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404, (ii) provide all of the compensation disclosure that may be required of non-emerging growth public companies under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, (iii) comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor's report providing additional information about the audit and the unaudited condensed financial statements (auditor discussion and analysis) and (iv) disclose certain executive compensation related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the CEO's compensation to median employee compensation.

These exemptions will apply for a period of five years following the completion of our Initial Public Offering or until we are no longer an "emerging growth company," whichever is earlier.
