shares of Class A common stock for grants to Gerald Gorman on October 23, 2020 and Adrian Steckel of January 27, 2021,
the Company’s independent directors (Note 6).
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 1—Description of Organization, Business Operations and
Basis of Presentation
CONX Corp. (the “Company”)
was incorporated in Nevada on August 26, 2020. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange,
asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses or assets (the “Business
Combination”). While the Company may pursue an acquisition opportunity in any industry or geographic region, the Company intends
to focus its search on identifying a prospective target that can benefit from its operational expertise in the technology, media and telecommunications
(“TMT”) industries, including the wireless communications industry.
As of March 31, 2021,
the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the three months ended March 31, 2021 relates to the Company’s search
for a potential Business Combination target. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial
Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and cash
equivalents from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering (as defined below) and will recognize changes in the fair value
of warrant liability as other income (expense).
The Company’s Sponsor
is nXgen Opportunities, LLC, a Colorado limited liability company (the “Sponsor”). The
registration statement for the Initial Public Offering was declared effective on October 29, 2020. On November 3, 2020, the
Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 75,000,000 Units (the “Units” and the shares of Class A common stock
included in the Units, the “Public Shares”), at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $750.0 million (the “Initial
Public Offering”), and incurring offering costs of approximately $42.3 million, inclusive of approximately $26.3 million in deferred
underwriting commissions (Note 5).
Simultaneously
with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the private placement (“Private Placement”) of 11,333,333
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 to the Company of $17.0 million (Note 4).
Upon the closing of the Initial
Public Offering and the Private Placement, a total of $750.0 million ($10.00 per Unit), consisting
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”), located in the United States at J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., with Continental Stock Transfer &
Trust Company acting as trustee, and is invested only in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in 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, until the earlier of (i) the
completion of a Business Combination or (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account as described below.
The Company’s 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 the Company will be able to complete a Business Combination successfully. The Company 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
(net of amounts disbursed to management for working capital purposes and excluding the amount of any deferred underwriting discount held
in trust) at the time of the agreement to enter into the initial Business Combination. However, the Company will only complete a Business
Combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the 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 of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”).
The Company will provide
holders of the Company’s outstanding shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, sold in the Initial Public
Offering (the “Public Stockholders”) with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares (as defined below)
upon the completion of a Business Combination either (i) in connection with a stockholder meeting called to approve the Business
Combination or (ii) without a stockholder vote by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek stockholder
approval of a Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion. The Public Stockholders
will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then held in the Trust Account (initially anticipated
to be $10.00 per Public Share). The per-share amount to be distributed to Public Stockholders who redeem their Public Shares will not
be reduced by the deferred underwriting commissions the Company will pay to the underwriters (as discussed in Note 5). These Public Shares
are recorded at a redemption value and classified as temporary equity in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s
(“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.”
The Company will proceed with a Business Combination if a majority of the shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination.
The Company will not redeem the Public Shares in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001. If a stockholder
vote is not required by law and the Company does not decide to hold a stockholder vote for business or other legal reasons, the Company
will, pursuant to its Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation (the “Articles of Incorporation”), conduct the redemptions
pursuant to the tender offer rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and file tender offer documents
with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination. If, however, stockholder approval of the transaction is required by law, or the
Company decides to obtain stockholder approval for business or legal reasons, the Company will offer to redeem shares in conjunction with
a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules and not pursuant to the tender offer rules. Additionally, each public stockholder
may elect to redeem their Public Shares irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed transaction. If the Company seeks
stockholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, the initial stockholders (as defined below) have agreed to vote their
Founder Shares (as defined below in Note 4), the independent directors have agreed to vote the shares granted to them as compensation
(the "Independent Director Shares") and any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering in favor of
a Business Combination. In addition, the initial stockholders and independent directors have agreed to waive their redemption rights with
respect to their Founder Shares, the Independent Director Shares and Public Shares in connection with the completion of a Business Combination.
The Articles of Incorporation
provide that a public stockholder, together with any affiliate of such stockholder or any other person with whom such stockholder is acting
in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange
Act”)), is restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% or more of the Public Shares, without
the prior consent of the Company.
The Sponsor, Messrs. Charles
W. Ergen and Jason Kiser (the “initial stockholders”) have agreed not to propose an amendment to the Articles of Incorporation
to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of the Public Shares if the Company does not complete
a Business Combination within the Combination Period (as defined below) or with respect to any other material provisions relating to stockholders’
rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity, unless the Company provides the Public Stockholders with the opportunity to redeem
their Public Shares in conjunction with any such amendment.
If the Company is unable
to complete a Business Combination by November 3, 2022 (the “Combination Period”), the Company 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 public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including
interest (less amounts released to pay taxes and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then
outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Public Stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the
right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption,
subject to the approval of the remaining stockholders and the Company’s board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject, in
each case, to its obligations under Nevada law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. There
will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to the warrants, which will expire worthless if the Company fails
to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period.
The initial stockholders
and independent directors have agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to the Founder
Shares and Independent Director Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. However,
if the initial stockholders or independent directors acquire Public Shares in or after the Initial Public Offering, they will be entitled
to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such Public Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination
within the Combination Period. The underwriters have agreed to waive their rights to the deferred underwriting commission (see Note 5)
held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and, in such
event, such amounts will be included with the other funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the
Public Shares. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the residual assets remaining available for
distribution (including Trust Account assets) will be only $10.00. In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor
has agreed to be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party (except for the Company’s independent registered
public accounting firm) for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target with which the Company has entered
into a letter of intent, confidentiality or other similar agreement or business combination agreement (a “Target”), reduce
the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.00 per Public Share and (ii) the actual amount per Public
Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, if less than $10.00 per Public Share due to reductions
in the value of the trust assets, less taxes payable, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or Target
that executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the Trust Account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) nor will
it apply to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities,
including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Company will seek to reduce
the possibility that the Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors,
service providers (except for the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm), prospective targets or other entities
with which the Company does business, execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or
to monies held in the Trust Account.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited
condensed financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions
to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the SEC. Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in
the unaudited condensed financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for
a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited
condensed financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair presentation
of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented.
The accompanying unaudited
condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements included in the Company’s
annual report on Form 10-K/A, as filed with the SEC on May 24, 2021. The interim results for the three months ended March 31,
2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the period ended December 31, 2021 or for any future periods.
Emerging Growth Company
The Company is an “emerging
growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups
Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are
applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply
with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced
disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements
of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously
approved.
Further, Section 102(b)(1) of
the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until
private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class
of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS
Act provides that an emerging growth company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that
apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such an election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such
extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or
private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt
the new or revised standard.
This may make comparison
of the Company’s financial statements with those of another public company that is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging
growth company that has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences
in accounting standards used.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Subsequent to the consummation
of the Initial Public Offering and Private Placement, the Company’s liquidity needs have been satisfied with the proceeds from the
consummation of the Private Placement not held in the Trust Account. In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection
with a Business Combination, the Sponsor may, but is not obligated to, provide the Company Working Capital Loans (see Note 4). To date,
there were no amounts outstanding under any Working Capital Loan.
Based on the foregoing, management
believes that the Company 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, the Company 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 balance
sheet. The unaudited condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting
Policies
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments
that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution, which, at
times, may exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Corporation coverage limit of $250,000. At March 31, 2021 and December, 31,
2020, the Company has not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant
risks on such accounts.
Financial Instruments
The fair value of the Company’s
assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,”
approximates the carrying amounts represented in the condensed Balance Sheets.
See Note 8 for additional
information on assets and liabilities measured at fair value.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company evaluates
its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives
in accordance with ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”. The Company’s derivative instruments are recorded at
fair value as of the IPO (November 3, 2020) and re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in
the condensed Statements of Operations. Derivative assets and liabilities are classified on the Balance Sheet as current or
non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement or conversion of the instrument could be required within 12 months of the
Balance Sheet date. The Company has determined the Warrants are a derivative instrument. As the Warrants meet the definition of a
derivative the Warrants are measured at fair value at issuance 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.
Investments Held in
Trust Account
Upon the closing of the
Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement, the Company was required to place net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and
certain of the proceeds of the Private Placement in a Trust Account, which may be invested in U.S. government securities, within the
meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with 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 management of the Company, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a
Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account. Investments held in the Trust Account are classified as
trading securities, which are presented on the condensed Balance Sheet at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Gains and
losses resulting from the change in fair value of investments held in the Trust Account are included in gain on marketable
securities, dividends and interest held in the Trust Account in the accompanying condensed Statement of Operations. The estimated
fair values of investments held in the Trust Account are determined using available market information, other than for investments
in open-ended money market funds with published daily net asset values (“NAV”), in which case the Company uses NAV as a
practical expedient to fair value. The NAV on these investments is typically held constant at $1.00 per unit.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of unaudited
condensed financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
Common Stock Subject to Possible
Redemption
The Company will provide
holders of the Company’s outstanding shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, sold in the Initial Public
Offering with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of a Business Combination either:
(i) in connection with a stockholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) without a stockholder vote by
means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek stockholder approval of a Business Combination or conduct a
tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion. The Public Stockholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares
for a pro rata portion of the amount then held in the Trust Account (initially anticipated to be $10.00 per Public Share). The per-share
amount to be distributed to Public Stockholders who redeem their Public Shares will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting commissions
the Company will pay to the underwriters (as discussed in Note 5). These Public Shares will be recorded at a redemption value and classified
as temporary equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s
(“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.”
The Company will proceed with a Business Combination if a majority of the shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination.
The Company will not redeem the Public Shares in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001. If a stockholder
vote is not required by law and the Company does not decide to hold a stockholder vote for business or other legal reasons, the Company
will, pursuant to its Articles of Incorporation, conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the SEC and file tender
offer documents with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination. If, however, stockholder approval of the transaction is required
by law, or the Company decides to obtain stockholder approval for business or legal reasons, the Company will offer to redeem shares in
conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules and not pursuant to the tender offer rules. Additionally, each
Public Stockholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed transaction.
If the Company seeks stockholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, the initial stockholders have agreed to vote their
Founder Shares (as defined below in Note 4), the independent directors have agreed to vote the shares granted to them as compensation
(the "Independent Director Shares") and any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering in favor of
a Business Combination. In addition, the initial stockholders and independent directors have agreed to waive their redemption rights with
respect to their Founder Shares, the Independent Director Shares and Public Shares in connection with the completion of a Business Combination.
The Articles of Incorporation
provide that a Public Stockholder, together with any affiliate of such stockholder or any other person with whom such stockholder is acting
in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange
Act”)), is restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% or more of the Public Shares, without
the prior consent of the Company.
Net Income Per Share of Common Stock
Net income per share of
common stock is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period.
The Company applies the two-class method in calculating the net income per common share. Shares of Class A common stock subject to
possible redemption as of March 31, 2021 have been excluded from the calculation of the basic net income per share since such
shares, if redeemed, only participate in their pro rata share of the Trust Account earnings. When calculating its diluted net income
per share, the Company has not considered the effect of the incremental number of shares of common stock to settle
Warrants sold in the Initial Public Offering and Private Placement, as calculated using the treasury stock method. The calculation excludes the warrants outstanding, as the exercise price was greater than the average market price during the period (out-of-the-money
warrants).

Income Taxes
The Company follows the asset
and liability method of accounting for income taxes under FASB ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” Deferred tax assets and liabilities
are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the unaudited condensed financial statements
carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using
enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or
settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included
the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
Deferred tax assets were deemed de minimis as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.
FASB ASC 740 prescribes a
recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the unaudited condensed financial statements recognition and measurement of tax
positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than
not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. There were no unrecognized tax benefits as of March 31, 2021. The Company
recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. No amounts were accrued for the
payment of interest and penalties as of March 31, 2021. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could
result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position. The Company is subject to income tax examinations by
major taxing authorities since inception.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company’s management
does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect
on the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements.
Note 3—Initial Public Offering
On
November 3, 2020, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 75,000,000 Units at
$10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $750.0 million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $42.3 million, inclusive of
approximately $26.3 million in deferred underwriting commissions.
Each Unit consists of one
share of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and one-fourth of one redeemable warrant (each, a “Public Warrant”).
Each whole Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject
to adjustment (see Note 6).
Note 4—Related Party Transactions
Founder Shares
On August 28, 2020,
Charles W. Ergen (the “Founder”) purchased an aggregate of 28,750,000 shares of the Company’s Class B common stock
(the “Founder Shares”) for $25,000, or approximately $0.001 per share and transferred 2,875,000 Founder Shares to Jason Kiser,
the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, for approximately the same per-share price initially paid by the Founder. On October 21,
2020, the Founder and Mr. Kiser contributed their Founder Shares to the Sponsor, in return for proportionate equity interests, resulting
in the Sponsor holding 28,750,000 Founder Shares. On October 23, 2020, the Sponsor forfeited 7,187,500 Founder Shares, resulting
in the Sponsor holding 21,562,500 Founder Shares. All share and per share amounts have been restated to reflect the forfeited shares.
On December 14, 2020, as a result of the underwriters not exercising the over-allotment option, the Sponsor forfeited 2,812,500 Founder
Shares, resulting in the Sponsor holding 18,750,000 Founder Shares.
The initial stockholders
have agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of the Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of: (i) 180
days after the completion of the initial Business Combination and (ii) the date following the completion of the initial Business
Combination on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange or other similar transaction that results in
all of the Company’s stockholders having the right to exchange their common stock for cash, securities or other property.
Private Placement Warrants
Simultaneously
with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the Private Placement of 11,333,333 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 the Company of $17.0 million.
Each whole Private Placement
Warrant is exercisable for one whole share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share. 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 to be held in the
Trust Account. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Private Placement Warrants will
expire worthless. 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 its permitted transferees.
The Sponsor and the Company’s
officers and directors agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Private Placement Warrants
until 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination.
Related Party Loans
On August 28, 2020,
the Founder agreed to loan the Company an aggregate of up to $1,000,000 to cover expenses related to the Initial Public Offering pursuant
to a promissory note (the “Note”). Prior to November 3, 2020, the Company borrowed $373,000 under the Note. This loan
was non-interest bearing, unsecured and due at the earlier of December 31, 2021 or the completion of the Initial Public Offering.
The loan was repaid upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering out of the offering proceeds.
In addition, in order to
finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company’s
officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”).
If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company would repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account
released to the Company. 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, the Company 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. 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.
The Working Capital Loans would either be repaid upon consummation of a Business Combination or, at the lender’s discretion, up
to $1,500,000 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. As of March 31, 2021, the Company had no borrowings
under the Working Capital Loans.
Note 5—Commitments and Contingencies
Registration Rights
The holders of Founder Shares,
Private Placement Warrants, Independent Director Shares and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans,
if any (and any shares of 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 and upon conversion of the Founder Shares) are entitled to registration rights pursuant
to a registration and stockholder rights agreement signed at the effective date of the Initial Public Offering. These holders are entitled
to certain demand and “piggyback” registration rights. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the
filing of any such registration statements. The registration and stockholder rights agreement neither provides for any maximum cash penalties
nor any penalties connected with delays in registering the Company’s common stock.
Underwriting Agreement
The underwriters received
an underwriting discount of $0.20 per unit, or $15,000,000 in the aggregate, upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering. $0.35
per unit, or $26,250,000 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 the Company completes a Business
Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.
Deferred Legal Fees
The Company obtained
legal advisory services in connection with the Initial Public Offering and agreed to pay approximately $275,000 of such fees upon
the consummation of the initial Business Combination, which was recorded as deferred legal fees in the condensed Balance Sheet as of
March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.
Note 6—Stockholders’ Equity
Class A
Common Stock—The Company is authorized to issue 500,000,000 shares of Class A common stock with a par value
of $0.0001 per share. At March 31, 2021, there were 75,020,000 shares of Class A common stock issued and outstanding, including
68,252,426 shares of Class A common stock subject to possible redemption and 20,000 Independent Director Shares. At December 31, 2020, there were 75,010,000 shares of Class A common stock issued and outstanding, including 71,957,939 shares of Class
A common stock subject to possible redemption and 10,000 Independent Director Shares.
On October 23, 2020,
the Company granted 10,000 shares of Class A common stock to its independent director, Gerald Gorman, and on January 27, 2021,
the Company granted 10,000 Independent Director Shares to Adrian Steckel. The Independent Director Shares will vest on the date of the
consummation of a Business Combination, subject to continued service on the Company’s board of directors until that date. The Company’s
independent directors have entered or, in the case of independent directors subsequently appointed after the Initial Public Offering,
will enter into a letter agreement with the Company pursuant to which they will be subject to the same transfer restrictions and waivers
as the Company’s initial stockholders, Sponsor, officers and directors discussed below.
Class B
Common Stock—The Company is authorized to issue 50,000,000 shares of Class B common stock with a par value
of $0.0001 per share. On March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, 18,750,000 shares of Class B common stock were outstanding. The Sponsor
owns approximately 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock.
Holders of record of Class A
common stock and holders of record of Class B common stock will vote together as a single class on all matters submitted to a vote
of our stockholders, with each share of stock entitling the holder to one vote, except as required by law or stock exchange rule, and
except that prior to the Business Combination, only holders of the Founder Shares will have the right to vote on the appointment of directors.
Holders of the Public Shares will not be entitled to vote on the appointment of directors during such time. In addition, prior to the
completion of a Business Combination, holders of two-thirds of the voting power of the Founder Shares may remove a member of the board
of directors for any reason.
The Class B common stock
will automatically convert into Class A common stock at the time of the initial Business Combination on a one-for-one basis, subject
to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like, and subject to further adjustment as
described herein. In the case that additional shares of Class A common stock or equity-linked securities are issued or deemed issued
in connection with the initial Business Combination, the number of shares of Class A common stock issuable upon conversion of the
shares of Class B common stock will equal, in the aggregate, on an as-converted basis, 20% of the total number of shares of Class A
common stock outstanding after such conversion (excluding Independent Director Shares and after giving effect to any redemptions of shares
of Class A common stock by Public Stockholders), including the total number of shares of Class A common stock issued, or deemed
issued or issuable upon conversion or exercise of any equity-linked securities or rights issued or deemed issued, by the Company in connection
with or in relation to the consummation of the initial Business Combination, excluding any shares of Class A common stock or equity-linked
securities or rights exercisable for or convertible into shares of Class A common stock issued, or to be issued, to any seller in
the initial Business Combination and any Private Placement Warrants issued to the Sponsor, officers or directors upon conversion of Working
Capital Loans, provided that such conversion of Founder Shares will never occur on a less than one-for-one basis.
Preferred
Stock—The Company is authorized to issue 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share, with
such designations, voting and other rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Company’s board of directors.
As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there were no shares of preferred stock issued or outstanding.
Note 7—Warrants
Public Warrants may only
be exercised for a whole number of shares. No fractional Public Warrants will be issued upon separation of the Units and only whole Public
Warrants will trade. The Public Warrants will become exercisable on the later of (a) 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination
or (b) 12 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering; provided in each case that the Company has an effective registration
statement under the Securities Act covering the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants and
a current prospectus relating to them is available (or the Company permits holders to exercise their Public Warrants on a cashless basis
and such cashless exercise is exempt from registration under the Securities Act). The Company has agreed that as soon as practicable,
but in no event later than 15 business days, after the closing of a Business Combination, the Company will use its best efforts to file
with the SEC a registration statement for the registration, under the Securities Act, of the shares of Class A common stock issuable
upon exercise of the Public Warrants. The Company will use its best efforts to cause the same to become effective and to maintain the
effectiveness of such registration statement, and a current prospectus relating thereto, until the expiration of the Public Warrants in
accordance with the provisions of the warrant agreement. Notwithstanding the above, if the Class A common stock is at the time of
any exercise of a warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that it satisfies the definition of a “covered security”
under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, the Company may, at its option, require holders of Public Warrants who exercise
their warrants to do so on a “cashless” basis, and, in the event the Company so elects, the Company will not be required to
file or maintain in effect a registration statement, but the Company will be required to use its best efforts to register or qualify the
shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available. The Public Warrants will expire five years after the
completion of a Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.
If the Company issues additional
shares of Class A common stock or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of its initial
Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per share of Class A common stock (with such issue
price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by the Company’s board of directors and, in the case of any such issuance
to the initial stockholders or their affiliates, without taking into account any Founder Shares held by the initial stockholders or such
affiliates, as applicable, prior to such issuance), (y) the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent more than 50%
of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available for the funding of the initial Business Combination (net of redemptions),
and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of the Class A common stock during the 10 trading day period starting on the
trading day after the day on which the Company consummates the initial Business Combination (such price, the “Market Value”)
is below $9.20 per share, the exercise price of the Warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the higher
of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, the $18.00 per share redemption trigger price of the Warrants will be adjusted (to the
nearest cent) to be equal to 180% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, and the $10.00 per share redemption trigger
price of the Warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price.
The Private Placement Warrants
are identical to the Public Warrants, except that the Private Placement Warrants and the shares of Class A common stock issuable
upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants will not be transferable, assignable or saleable until 30 days after the completion of
a Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions. Additionally, the Private Placement Warrants will be non-redeemable so
long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by someone other than the
Sponsor or its permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders
on the same basis as the Public Warrants.
The Company may call the Public Warrants for redemption:
|
•
|
in whole and not in part;
|
|
•
|
at a price of $0.01 per warrant;
|
|
•
|
upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption; and
|
|
•
|
if, and only if, the last sales price (the “closing price”) of the Class A common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share on each of 20 trading days within the 30-trading day period ending on the third business day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.
|
In addition, the Company may call the Public Warrants
for redemption:
|
•
|
in whole and not in part;
|
|
•
|
at $0.10 per warrant provided that holders will be able to exercise their warrants, but only on a cashless basis, prior to redemption and receive a certain number of shares of Class A common stock, based on the fair market value of the Class A common stock;
|
|
•
|
if, and only if, the closing price of Class A common stock equals or exceeds $10.00 per share for any 20 trading days within the 30-trading day period ending three trading days before the notice of redemption is sent to the warrant holders; and
|
|
•
|
if the closing price of Class A common stock for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the warrant holders is less than $18.00 per share, the private placement warrants must also be concurrently called for redemption on the same terms as the outstanding public warrants.
|
In no event will the Company
be required to net cash settle any warrant. If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period
and the Company liquidates the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of warrants will not receive any of such funds with respect to
their warrants, nor will they receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with the respect
to such warrants. Accordingly, the warrants may expire worthless.
Note 8–Fair Value Measurements
The fair value of the Company’s financial
assets and liabilities reflects management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would have received in connection with the sale
of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the
measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of
observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions
about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities
based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities:
Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical
assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with
sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
Level 2: Observable inputs other than Level 1
inputs. Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities and quoted prices for identical
assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs which are supported
by little or no market activity and which are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
The following table presents
information about the Company’s assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31,
2021 and December 31, 2020 and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such
fair value. Significant deviations from these estimates and inputs could result in a material change in fair value.

Warrant Liabilities
At March 31, 2021
and December 31, 2020, the Company’s derivative warrant liability was valued at $37,002,500 and $45,726,666,
respectively. The Warrants are accounted for as liabilities in accordance with ASC 815-40 and are presented within derivative
warrant liabilities on the condensed Balance Sheets. The warrant liabilities are measured at fair value at inception and on a
recurring basis, with changes in fair value presented within change in fair value of warrant liabilities in the condensed Statement
of Operations.
Measurement
The Warrants are measured at fair value on a recurring
basis. The subsequent measurement of the Public Warrants as of March 31, 2021 is classified as Level 1 due to the use of an observable
market quote in an active market under the ticker CONXW. As the transfer of Private Placement Warrants to anyone outside of a small group
of individuals who are permitted transferees would result in the Private Placement Warrants having substantially the same terms as the
Public Warrants, the Company determined that the fair value of each Private Placement Warrant is equivalent to that of each Public Warrant,
with an insignificant adjustment for short-term marketability restrictions. As such, the Private Placement Warrants are classified as
Level 2.

Note 9—Subsequent Events
The Company evaluated events
that have occurred after the balance sheet date through May 24, 2021, which is the date on which the unaudited condensed financial
statements were issued. Based upon this review, the Company did not identify any subsequent events that would have required adjustment
or disclosure in the unaudited condensed financial statements.
