The following discussion and analysis of the Company's financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto contained elsewhere in this report. Certain information contained in the discussion and analysis set forth below includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.





Overview


We are a blank check company incorporated in Delaware on July 6, 2020 for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses that we have not yet selected ("Business Combination"). 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 Patient Square Capital LLC (the "Sponsor"). The registration statement for our Initial Public Offering was declared effective on October 6, 2020. On October 9, 2020, we consummated our Initial Public Offering of 40,000,000 units (the "Units") at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $400.0 million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $22.1 million (net of reimbursement of offering costs of $520,000 from the underwriters), inclusive of $14.0 million in deferred underwriting commissions.

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the private placement ("Private Placement") of 10,000,000 warrants (each, a "Private Placement Warrant" and collectively, the "Private Placement Warrants") at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant to the Sponsor, generating proceeds of $10.0 million (Note 4). The underwriters exercised the over-allotment option in part and on November 12, 2020 purchased an additional 1,071,823 Units (the "Over-Allotment Units"), generating gross proceeds of approximately $10.7 million, and incurred additional offering costs of approximately $576,000 in underwriting fees (net of reimbursement of offering costs of approximately $14,000 from the underwriters and inclusive of approximately $0.4 million in deferred underwriting fees) (the "Over-Allotment"). Simultaneously with the closing of the Over-allotment on November 12, 2020, we consummated the second closing of the Private Placement, resulting in the purchase of an aggregate of an additional 214,365 Private Placement Warrants by our Sponsor, generating gross proceeds to us of approximately $214,000.

Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Private Placement and part of the Over-Allotment option, $410.7 million ($10.00 per Unit) of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and certain of the proceeds of the Private Placement was placed in a trust account ("Trust Account") with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee and invested in United States "government securities" within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act having a maturity of 185 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 the Company, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account as described below.

If we are unable to complete a Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering, or October 9, 2022, (as such period may be extended pursuant to the Certificate of Incorporation, the "Combination Period"), we 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 shares of Class A common stock sold in the Initial Public Offering (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 us to pay its taxes, if any (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 July 6, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2020, was in preparation for an Initial Public Offering, and since our Initial Public Offering, 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.





                                      51




For the period from July 6, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2020, we had a net loss of approximately $386,000, which consisted of approximately $366,000 of general and administrative expenses, including approximately $28,000 of general and administrative expenses with related party, franchise tax expense of approximately $89,000, income tax expense of approximately $17,000 offset by approximately $85,000 of interest income and unrealized gain on marketable securities held in the Trust Account.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2020, we had approximately $1.7 million in cash and working capital of approximately $1.5 million (not taking into account approximately $105,000 of taxes that may be paid using interest income from the Trust Account).

Our liquidity needs up to December 31, 2020 had been satisfied through the payment of $25,000 from our Sponsor to cover for certain expenses on behalf of us in exchange for the issuance of the Founder Shares, a loan of $200,000 pursuant to the Note issued to our Sponsor, and the net proceeds from the consummation of the Private Placement not held in the Trust Account. We fully repaid the Note to our Sponsor on October 9, 2020. In addition, in order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, our Sponsor may, but is not obligated to, provide us Working Capital Loans. To date, there were no amounts outstanding under any Working Capital Loan.

Based on the foregoing, management believes that we 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, we 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.

Management continues to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and has concluded that 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.





Contractual Obligations


Registration and Stockholder Rights

The holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans (and any Class A common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans) are entitled to registration rights pursuant to the registration rights agreement. The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that we register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain "piggy-back" registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of the initial Business Combination. 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 $8.0 million in the aggregate, paid upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering. In addition, $0.35 per unit, or $14.0 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. The underwriters agreed to make a payment to us in an amount of 0.13% of the gross proceeds of the Initial Public Offering, or $520,000, to reimburse certain of offering expenses. We received such reimbursement on October 27, 2020.

Upon closing of the Over-allotment on November 12, 2020, the underwriters received approximately $214,000 in fees paid upfront and eligible for an additional deferred underwriting commissions of approximately $375,000. In addition, the underwriters agreed to make an additional payment to us in an amount of 0.13% of the gross proceeds of the Over-allotment, or approximately $14,000, to reimburse certain of offering expenses. As of December 31, 2020, approximately $5,000 is included as a receivable for such reimbursements on the accompanying balance sheet.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

This management's discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in our financial statements. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to fair value of financial instruments and accrued expenses. We base our estimates on historical experience, known trends and events and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We have identified the following as our critical accounting policies:

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." Shares of Class A common stock subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as liability instruments and are measured at fair value. Shares of conditionally redeemable Class A common stock (including Class A common stock that feature 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) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, shares of Class A common stock are classified as stockholders' equity. Our Class A common stock features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of our control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, at December 31, 2020, 39,285,301 shares of Class A common stock subject to possible redemption are presented as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders' equity section of the accompanying balance sheets.





Net Loss Per Share


We comply with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, "Earnings Per Share." Net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. We have not considered the effect of the warrants sold in the Initial Public Offering and Private Placement to purchase an aggregate of 39,285,301 shares of Class A common stock in the calculation of diluted earnings per share, since the exercise of the warrants are contingent upon the occurrence of future events and the inclusion of such warrants would be anti-dilutive.

We apply the two-class method in calculating income (loss) per common share. Net income (loss) per common share, basic and diluted for Class A common stock subject to possible redemption is calculated by dividing the proportionate share of income or loss on marketable securities held by the Trust Account, net of applicable franchise and income taxes, by the weighted average number of shares of Class A common stock subject to possible redemption outstanding since original issuance.

Net income (loss) per common share, basic and diluted for non-redeemable common stock is calculated by dividing net income (loss) less income attributable to Class A shares of common stock subject to possible redemption by the weighted average number of shares of non-redeemable common stock outstanding for the period presented.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Our management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material impact on our financial statements.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of December 31, 2020, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K and did not have any commitments or contractual obligations.





JOBS Act


On April 5, 2012, the JOBS Act was signed into law. The JOBS Act contains provisions that, among other things, relax certain reporting requirements for qualifying public companies. We will qualify as an "emerging growth company" and under the JOBS Act will be 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 such, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates.





                                      53




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 PCAOB regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor's report providing additional information about the audit and the 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.
