 ownership of our stockholders and could cause our share price to fall.

We expect that significant additional capital will be needed in the future to pursue our growth plan. To raise capital, we may sell shares of our Class A Common Stock, convertible securities or other equity securities in one or more transactions at prices and in a manner we determine from time to time. If we sell shares of our Class A Common Stock, convertible securities or other equity securities, investors may be materially diluted by subsequent sales. Such sales may also result in material dilution to our existing stockholders, and new investors could gain rights, preferences, and privileges senior to existing holders of our Class A Common Stock.

Future sales of a substantial number of shares of our Class A Common Stock, or the perception in the market that the holders of a large number of shares of Class A Common Stock intend to sell shares, could reduce the market price of our Class A Common Stock.

Sales of a substantial number of shares of our Class A Common Stock in the public market could occur at any time as substantially all of our shares of Class A Common Stock are eligible to be sold pursuant to Rule 144, subject to volume limitations. These sales, or the perception in the market that the holders of a large number of shares of Class A Common Stock intend to sell shares, could reduce the market price of our Class A Common Stock.

We may issue additional shares of Class A Common Stock under an employee incentive plan. Any such issuances would dilute the interest of our stockholders and likely present other risks.

We may issue a substantial number of additional shares of Class A Common Stock under an employee incentive plan. The issuance of additional shares of common or preferred stock:

•may significantly dilute the equity interests of our investors;

•may subordinate the rights of holders of Class A Common Stock if preferred stock is 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; and

•may adversely affect prevailing market prices for our Class A Common Stock and/or Public Warrants.

Holdings owns the majority of our voting stock and has the right to appoint a majority of our board members, and our interests may conflict with those of other stockholders.
