NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 — Description of Organization, Business Operations and Basis of Presentation
Switchback Energy Acquisition Corporation (the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware on May 10, 2019. 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 (the “Business Combination”). Although the Company is not limited to a particular industry or sector for purposes of consummating a Business Combination, the Company intends to focus its search for a target business in the energy industry in North America. The Company is an emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with emerging growth companies.
As of June 30, 2019, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from May 10, 2019 (inception) through June 30, 2019 relates to the Company’s formation and the initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering”), which is described below. 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. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.
The Company’s sponsor is NGP Switchback, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”). The registration statement for the Initial Public Offering was declared effective on July 25, 2019. On July 30, 2019, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 30,000,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the Class A common stock included in the Units, the “Public Shares”) at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $300.0 million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $17.0 million, inclusive of $10.43 million in deferred underwriting commissions (Note 5). The underwriters were granted a 45-day option from the date of the final prospectus relating to the Initial Public Offering to purchase up to 4,500,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments, if any, at $10.00 per Unit, less underwriting discounts and commissions. On September 4, 2019, the underwriters partially exercised the over-allotment option and, on September 6, 2019, the underwriters purchased an additional 1,411,763 units (the “Over-allotment Units”), generating gross proceeds of $14,117,630. The over-allotment option subsequently expired.
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale (the “Private Placement”) of 5,333,333 warrants (each, a “Private Placement Warrant” and collectively, the “Private Placement Warrants”) at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant in a private placement to the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of approximately $8.0 million (Note 4). Simultaneously with the closing of the sale of the Over-allotment Units, the Sponsor purchased an additional 188,235 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds of approximately $282,353.
Approximately $314.1 million ($10.00 per Unit) of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering (including the Over-allotment Units) and certain of the proceeds of the Private Placement was 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 U.S. “government securities,” within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), with a maturity of 185 days or less, or in money market funds meeting the conditions of paragraphs (d)(1), (d)(2), (d)(3) and (d)(4) of Rule 2a-7 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.
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 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.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Company will provide holders of the Company’s outstanding Public Shares (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) 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 were recorded at a redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering. In such case, the Company will only proceed with a Business Combination if, among other things, the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 upon consummation of such Business Combination and a majority of the shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination. 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 Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate 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 its 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) and any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering in favor of a Business Combination. In addition, the Initial Stockholders have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares and Public Shares in connection with the completion of a Business Combination.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Certificate of Incorporation provides 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”)), will be restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 20% of the Public Shares.
The Sponsor and the Company’s officers and directors (the “Initial Stockholders”) have agreed not to propose an amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation that would affect 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 time frame described below, 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 within 24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering, or July 30, 2021 (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 earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its franchise and income taxes (less 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), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining stockholders and its board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

SWITCHBACK ENERGY ACQUISITION CORPORATION
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Initial Stockholders have agreed to waive their liquidation rights with respect to the Founder Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, the Initial Stockholders will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Public Shares that they hold 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 business 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 due to reductions in the value of the trust assets as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, in each case including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its franchise and income taxes, less franchise and income taxes payable. This liability will not apply with respect to any claims by a third party or Target that executed an agreement waiving claims against and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account whether or not such agreement is enforceable or 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, prospective target businesses 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 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP. In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed financial statements reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair statement of the balances and results for the periods presented. Operating results for the period from May 10, 2019 (inception) through June 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected through December 31, 2019.
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the final prospectus filed by the Company with the SEC on July 29, 2019 related to the Initial Public Offering and the audited balance sheet included in the Form 8-K filed by the Company with the SEC on August 5, 2019.
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 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.

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 Deposit Insurance Corporation limit of $250,000. At June 30, 2019, the Company has not experienced losses on these accounts, and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for sale of an asset or paid for transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). These tiers include:
● | Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets; |
● | Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and |
● | Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable. |
In some circumstances, the inputs used to measure fair value might be categorized within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In those instances, the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
As of June 30, 2019, the carrying values of cash, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and note payable to related party approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of the instruments.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the unaudited condensed financial statements in conformity with 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 at the date of the unaudited condensed financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ from those estimates.
Deferred Offering Costs Associated with the Initial Public Offering
Deferred offering costs consist of legal, accounting, underwriting fees and other costs incurred through the balance sheet date that are directly related to the Initial Public Offering and that were charged to stockholders’ equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering in July 2019.
Net Loss Per Share of Common Stock
Net loss per share of common stock is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. At June 30, 2019, the Company did not have any dilutive securities and other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into common stock and then share in the earnings of the Company. As a result, diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss per share for the period presented.

SWITCHBACK ENERGY ACQUISITION CORPORATION
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Income Taxes
The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the 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.
For tax 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 June 30, 2019. 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 June 30, 2019. 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
In July 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260); Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480); Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): (Part I) Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features, (Part II) Replacement of the Indefinite Deferral for Mandatorily Redeemable Financial Instruments of Certain Nonpublic Entities and Certain Mandatorily Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests with a Scope Exception. The ASU allows companies to exclude a down round feature when determining whether a financial instrument (or embedded conversion feature) is considered indexed to the entity’s own stock. As a result, financial instruments (or embedded conversion features) with down round features may no longer be required to be classified as liabilities. A company will recognize the value of a down round feature only when it is triggered and the strike price has been adjusted downward. For equity-classified freestanding financial instruments, such as warrants, an entity will treat the value of the effect of the down round, when triggered, as a dividend and a reduction of income available to common shareholders in computing basic earnings per share. For convertible instruments with embedded conversion features containing down round provisions, entities will recognize the value of the down round as a beneficial conversion discount to be amortized to earnings. The guidance in ASU 2017-11 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted this guidance at inception. As a result, the warrants to be issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants to the Sponsor will be equity-classified.
The Company’s management does not believe that there are any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements that, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
Note 3 — Initial Public Offering
On July 30, 2019, the Company sold 30,000,000 Units at a price of $10.00 per Unit in the Initial Public Offering. Each Unit consists of one share of Class A common stock and one-third of one redeemable warrant (each, a “Public Warrant”). Each 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). Certain officers and directors of the Company purchased 200,000 (the “Affiliated Units”) of the 30,000,000 Units sold in the Initial Public Offering for an aggregate purchase price of $2.0 million.
The Company granted the underwriters a 45-day option from the date of the final prospectus relating to the Initial Public Offering to purchase up to 4,500,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments, if any, at the Initial Public Offering price, less underwriting discounts and commissions. On September 4, 2019, the underwriters partially exercised the over-allotment option and, on September 6, 2019, the underwriters purchased the Over-allotment Units, generating gross proceeds of $14,117,630. The over-allotment option subsequently expired.

Founder Shares
On May 16, 2019, the Sponsor purchased 8,625,000 shares (the “Founder Shares”) of the Company’s Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, for an aggregate price of $25,000. The Initial Stockholders have agreed to forfeit up to 1,125,000 Founder Shares to the extent that the over-allotment option is not exercised in full by the underwriters. The forfeiture will be adjusted to the extent that the over-allotment option is not exercised in full by the underwriters so that the Founder Shares will represent 20.0% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares after the Initial Public Offering.
The Initial Stockholders agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of the Founder Shares until one year after the date of the consummation of the initial Business Combination or earlier if, subsequent to the initial Business Combination, (i) the last sale price of the Company’s Class A common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, 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 (ii) the Company consummates a subsequent liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of the Company’s stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property.

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 5,333,333 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds of approximately $8.0 million in the aggregate. Simultaneously with the closing of the sale of the Over-allotment Units, the Sponsor purchased an additional 188,235 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds of approximately $282,353.
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 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 May 16, 2019, the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company an aggregate of up to $300,000 to cover organizational expenses and expenses related to the Initial Public Offering pursuant to a promissory note (the “Note”). This loan is non-interest bearing and payable on the completion of the Initial Public Offering. As of June 30, 2019, the Company has borrowed approximately $126,000 under the Note. The Company repaid the Note in full to the Sponsor on August 12, 2019.
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, without interest, 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. To date, the Company had no borrowings under the Working Capital Loans.

Registration Rights
The holders of Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants 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) will be 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 the Company will not permit any registration statement filed under the Securities Act to become effective until the termination of the applicable lock-up period for the securities to be registered. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.
Underwriting Agreement
Except for the Affiliated Units, the underwriters were entitled to an underwriting discount of $0.20 per unit, or $5.96 million in the aggregate, paid upon closing of the Initial Public Offering. An additional fee of approximately $282,353 in the aggregate was due in connection with the closing of the sale of the Over-allotment Units.
In addition, $0.35 per unit (but not including the Affiliated Units), or approximately $10.92 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 the Company completes a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.
Note 6 — Stockholders’ Deficit
Class A Common Stock — As of June 30, 2019, the Company was authorized to issue 125,000,000 shares of Class A common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. On July 25, 2019, the Company amended its Certificate of Incorporation to allow authorization of 200,000,000 shares of Class A common stock. As of June 30, 2019, there were no shares of Class A common stock issued or outstanding.
Class B Common Stock — As of June 30, 2019, the Company was authorized to issue 25,000,000 shares of Class B common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. On July 25, 2019, the Company amended its Certificate of Incorporation to allow authorization of 20,000,000 shares of Class B common stock. In May 2019, the Company issued 8,625,000 shares of Class B common stock, including an aggregate of up to 1,125,000 shares of Class B common stock that are subject to forfeiture to the Company by the Sponsor for no consideration to the extent that the underwriters’ over-allotment option is not exercised in full or in part, so that the Initial Stockholders will collectively own 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock after the Initial Public Offering.
11
SWITCHBACK ENERGY ACQUISITION CORPORATION
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Prior to the initial Business Combination, only holders of the Company’s Class B common stock will have the right to vote on the election of directors. Holders of the Class A common stock will not be entitled to vote on the election of directors during such time. These provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation may only be amended if approved by a majority of at least 90% of the Company’s common stock voting at a stockholder meeting. With respect to any other matter submitted to a vote of the Company’s stockholders, including any vote in connection with the initial Business Combination, except as required by applicable law or stock exchange rule, holders of the Company’s Class A common stock and holders of the Company’s Class B common stock will vote together as a single class, with each share entitling the holder to one vote.
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. In the case that additional shares of Class A common stock, or equity-linked securities, are issued or deemed issued in excess of the amounts sold in the Initial Public Offering and related to the closing of the initial Business Combination, the ratio at which shares of Class B common stock shall convert into shares of Class A common stock will be adjusted (unless the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class B common stock agree to waive such adjustment with respect to any such issuance or deemed issuance) so that the number of shares of Class A common stock issuable upon conversion of all shares of Class B common stock will equal, in the aggregate, on an as-converted basis, 20% of the sum of the total number of all shares of common stock outstanding upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering plus all shares of Class A common stock and equity-linked securities issued or deemed issued in connection with the Business Combination (excluding any shares or equity-linked securities issued, or to be issued, to any seller in the Business Combination).
Preferred Stock — The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 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 June 30, 2019, there were no shares of preferred stock issued or outstanding.
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.
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 salable until 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions. Additionally, the Private Placement Warrants will be non-redeemable for cash 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.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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 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 trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders. |
If the Company calls the Public Warrants for redemption, management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise the Public Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis,” as described in the warrant agreement.
In addition, commencing 90 days after the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding warrants for shares of Class A common stock (including both Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants):
● | in whole and not in part; |
● | at a price equal to a number of shares of Class A common stock to be determined by reference to the agreed table set forth in the warrant agreement based on the redemption date and the “fair market value” of the Class A common stock; |
● | upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption; and |
● | if, and only if, the last sale price of the Class A common stock equals or exceeds $10.00 per share (as adjusted) on the trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders. |
The exercise price and number of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a stock dividend, or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. In addition, if the Company issues additional shares of common stock or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of the initial Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per share of 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 Sponsor or its affiliates, without taking into account any Founder Shares held by the Sponsor or such affiliates, as applicable, prior to such issuance) (the “Newly Issued Price”), the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the Newly Issued Price.
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 7 — Subsequent Events
Commencing on the date that the securities of the Company were first listed on the New York Stock Exchange, the Company has agreed to pay the Sponsor a total of $10,000 per month for office space, utilities, secretarial support and administrative services. Upon completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination or the Company’s liquidation, the Company will cease paying these monthly fees.
The Company evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date up to the date that the financial statements were issued. Other than as described above and in these financial statements in relation to the Company’s Initial Public Offering (Note 3) and related transactions, the Company did not identify any subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.

Certain information contained in the discussion and analysis set forth below includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.
Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and projections about future events.

Factors that might cause or contribute to such a discrepancy include, but are not limited to, those described in our other Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filings.
Overview
We are a blank check company incorporated in Delaware on May 10, 2019 for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”). Although we are not limited to a particular industry or sector for purposes of consummating a Business Combination, we intend to focus our search for a target business in the energy industry in North America. Our sponsor is NGP Switchback, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (our “Sponsor”).
Our registration statement for our initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering”) was declared effective on July 25, 2019. On July 30, 2019, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 30,000,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the Class A common stock included in the Units, the “Public Shares”) at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $300.0 million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $17.0 million, inclusive of $10.43 million in deferred underwriting commissions. Certain of our officers and directors purchased 200,000 (the “Affiliated Units”) of the 30,000,000 Units sold in the Initial Public Offering for an aggregate purchase price of $2.0 million. The underwriters were granted a 45-day option from the date of the final prospectus relating to the Initial Public Offering to purchase up to 4,500,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments, if any, at $10.00 per Unit, less underwriting discounts and commissions. On September 4, 2019, the underwriters partially exercised the over-allotment option and, on September 6, 2019, the underwriters purchased an additional 1,411,763 units (the “Over-allotment Units”), generating gross proceeds of $14,117,630. The over-allotment option subsequently expired.
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the sale (the “Private Placement”) of 5,333,333 warrants (each, a “Private Placement Warrant” and collectively, the “Private Placement Warrants”) at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant in a private placement to the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of approximately $8.0 million. Simultaneously with the closing of the sale of the Over-allotment Units, our Sponsor purchased an additional 188,235 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds of approximately $282,353.
Approximately $314.1 million ($10.00 per Unit) of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering (including the Over-allotment Units) and certain of the proceeds of the Private Placement was 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 U.S. “government securities,” within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), with a maturity of 185 days or less, or in money market funds meeting the conditions of paragraphs (d)(1), (d)(2), (d)(3) and (d)(4) of Rule 2a-7 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.
14
If we are unable to complete a Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering, or July 30, 2021 (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 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 our franchise and income taxes (less 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), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining stockholders and its board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, 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 only activities from inception through June 30, 2019 related to our formation and the Initial Public Offering. We expect to incur increased expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as costs in the pursuit of our acquisition plans.
For the period from May 10, 2019 (inception) through June 30, 2019, we had a net loss of approximately $56,000, which consists solely of general and administrative expenses.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our liquidity needs up to June 30, 2019 were satisfied through receipt of a $25,000 capital contribution from our Sponsor in exchange for the issuance of the Class B common stock to our Sponsor and a loan from our Sponsor for an aggregate amount of up to $300,000 to cover organizational expenses and expenses related to the Initial Public Offering pursuant to a promissory note (the “Note”). As of June 30, 2019, we had borrowed approximately $126,000 under the Note. We repaid this Note in full to our Sponsor on August 12, 2019. Subsequent to the consummation of our Initial Public Offering, our liquidity needs have been satisfied through the net proceeds of approximately $2.0 million from the Private Placement held outside of the Trust Account.
In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, our Sponsor or an affiliate of our Sponsor, or our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). As of June 30, 2019, there were no amounts outstanding under any Working Capital Loan.
Contractual Obligations
Registration Rights
The holders of Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants 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) will be 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 permit any registration statement filed under the Securities Act to become effective until the termination of the applicable lock-up period for the securities to be registered. We will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.
Underwriting Agreement
Except for the Affiliated Units, the underwriters were entitled to an underwriting discount of $0.20 per unit, or $5.96 million in the aggregate, paid upon closing of the Initial Public Offering. An additional fee of approximately $282,353 in the aggregate was due in connection with the closing of the sale of the Over-allotment Units.
In addition, $0.35 per unit (but not including the Affiliated Units), or approximately $10.92 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
Deferred Offering Costs Associated with the Initial Public Offering
Deferred offering costs consist of legal, accounting, underwriting fees and other costs incurred through the balance sheet date that are directly related to the Initial Public Offering and that were charged to stockholders’ equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering in July 2019.
Net Loss Per Share of Common Stock
Net loss per share of common stock is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. At June 30, 2019, we did not have any dilutive securities and other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into common stock and then share in the earnings of our company. As a result, diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss per share for the period presented.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In July 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260); Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480); Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): (Part I) Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features, (Part II) Replacement of the Indefinite Deferral for Mandatorily Redeemable Financial Instruments of Certain Nonpublic Entities and Certain Mandatorily Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests with a Scope Exception. The ASU allows companies to exclude a down round feature when determining whether a financial instrument (or embedded conversion feature) is considered indexed to the entity’s own stock. As a result, financial instruments (or embedded conversion features) with down round features may no longer be required to be classified as liabilities. A company will recognize the value of a down round feature only when it is triggered and the strike price has been adjusted downward. For equity-classified freestanding financial instruments, such as warrants, an entity will treat the value of the effect of the down round, when triggered, as a dividend and a reduction of income available to common shareholders in computing basic earnings per share. For convertible instruments with embedded conversion features containing down round provisions, entities will recognize the value of the down round as a beneficial conversion discount to be amortized to earnings. The guidance in ASU 2017-11 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We adopted this guidance at inception. As a result, the warrants to be issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants to our Sponsor will be equity-classified.
Our management does not believe that there are any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements that, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on our financial statements.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of June 30, 2019, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K.
JOBS Act
On April 5, 2012, the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 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.

Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk |
We are a smaller reporting company as defined in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K. As a result, pursuant to Item 305(e) of Regulation S-K, we are not required to provide the information required by this item.
Item 4. | Controls and Procedures |
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in company reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2019. Based upon this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were effective.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the most recently completed fiscal quarter, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
17
Item 1. | Legal Proceedings |
None.
Item 1A. | Risk Factors. |
As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our final prospectus filed with the SEC on July 29, 2019.
Item 2. | Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds from Registered Securities |
Unregistered Sales
On May 16, 2019, our Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 8,625,000 Founder Shares for $25,000, or approximately $0.003 per share. The Founder Shares will automatically convert into shares of our Class A common stock at the time of the initial Business Combination. On July 25, 2019, our Sponsor transferred an aggregate of 80,000 Founder Shares to our independent directors at their original purchase price. The Founder Shares were issued in connection with our organization pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the sale of 5,333,333 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant in a private placement to our Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of approximately $8.0 million. In addition, simultaneously with the closing of the sale of the Over-allotment Units, we consummated the sale of an additional 188,235 Private Placement Warrants in a private placement to our Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of approximately $282,353. Each Private Placement Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one share of our Class A common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share. The sales of the Private Placement Warrants were made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.
Use of Proceeds
On July 30, 2019, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 30,000,000 Units. The Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $300.0 million. Certain of our officers and directors purchased 200,000 of the 30,000,000 Units sold in the Initial Public Offering for an aggregate purchase price of $2.0 million. The underwriters were granted a 45-day option from the date of the final prospectus relating to the Initial Public Offering to purchase up to 4,500,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments, if any, at $10.00 per Unit, less underwriting discounts and commissions. On September 4, 2019, the underwriters partially exercised the over-allotment option and, on September 6, 2019, the underwriters purchased the Over-allotment Units, generating gross proceeds of $14,117,630. The over-allotment option subsequently expired.
On July 30, 2019, simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we completed the private sale of 5,333,333 Private Placement Warrants at a purchase price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant to our Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of approximately $8.0 million. Simultaneously with the closing of the sale of the Over-allotment Units, we completed the private sale of an additional 188,235 Private Placement Warrants at a purchase price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant to our Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of approximately $282,353.
Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, RBC Capital Markets, LLC and Tudor, Pickering, Holt & Co. Securities, Inc. served as underwriters for the Initial Public Offering. The securities sold in the Initial Public Offering were registered under the Securities Act on a registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-232501) (the “Registration Statement”). The SEC declared the Registration Statement effective on July 25, 2019.
From May 10, 2019 (inception) through June 30, 2019, we incurred approximately $316,000 for costs and expenses related to the Initial Public Offering. In connection with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we paid a total of approximately $6.24 million in underwriting discounts and commissions. In addition, the underwriters agreed to defer approximately $10.92 million in underwriting discounts and commissions, which amount will be payable upon consummation of the initial Business Combination. Prior to the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor loaned us approximately $251,000 under the Note. We repaid this Note to our Sponsor on August 12, 2019. There has been no material change in the planned use of proceeds from the Initial Public Offering as described in our final prospectus filed with the SEC on July 29, 2019.
After deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions (excluding the deferred portion of approximately $10.92 million, which amount will be payable upon consummation of the initial Business Combination) and offering expenses, the total net proceeds from the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants were approximately $315.1 million, of which approximately $314.1 million (or $10.00 per share sold in the Initial Public Offering) was placed in the Trust Account.

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | ||||||||||
Concentration of Credit Risk | 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 Deposit Insurance Corporation limit of $250,000. At June 30, 2019, the Company has not experienced losses on these accounts, and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts. |
|||||||||
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for sale of an asset or paid for transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). These tiers include:
In some circumstances, the inputs used to measure fair value might be categorized within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In those instances, the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
As of June 30, 2019, the carrying values of cash, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and note payable to related party approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of the instruments. |
|||||||||
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates
The preparation of the unaudited condensed financial statements in conformity with 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 at the date of the unaudited condensed financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ from those estimates. |
|||||||||
Deferred Offering Costs Associated with the Initial Public Offering | Deferred Offering Costs Associated with the Initial Public Offering
Deferred offering costs consist of legal, accounting, underwriting fees and other costs incurred through the balance sheet date that are directly related to the Initial Public Offering and that were charged to stockholders' equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering in July 2019. |
|||||||||
Net Loss Per Share of Common Stock | Net Loss Per Share of Common Stock
Net loss per share of common stock is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. At June 30, 2019, the Company did not have any dilutive securities and other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into common stock and then share in the earnings of the Company. As a result, diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss per share for the period presented. |
|||||||||
Income Taxes | Income Taxes
The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the 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.
For tax 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 June 30, 2019. 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 June 30, 2019. 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 | Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In July 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260); Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480); Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): (Part I) Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features, (Part II) Replacement of the Indefinite Deferral for Mandatorily Redeemable Financial Instruments of Certain Nonpublic Entities and Certain Mandatorily Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests with a Scope Exception. The ASU allows companies to exclude a down round feature when determining whether a financial instrument (or embedded conversion feature) is considered indexed to the entity's own stock. As a result, financial instruments (or embedded conversion features) with down round features may no longer be required to be classified as liabilities. A company will recognize the value of a down round feature only when it is triggered and the strike price has been adjusted downward. For equity-classified freestanding financial instruments, such as warrants, an entity will treat the value of the effect of the down round, when triggered, as a dividend and a reduction of income available to common shareholders in computing basic earnings per share. For convertible instruments with embedded conversion features containing down round provisions, entities will recognize the value of the down round as a beneficial conversion discount to be amortized to earnings. The guidance in ASU 2017-11 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted this guidance at inception. As a result, the warrants to be issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants to the Sponsor will be equity-classified.
The Company's management does not believe that there are any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements that, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company's financial statements. |

MRM Note 4 — Related Party Transactions Founder Shares On May 16, 2019, the
Sponsor purchased 8,625,000 shares (the "Founder Shares") of the Company's Class B common stock, par value
$0.0001 per share, for an aggregate price of $25,000. The Initial Stockholders have agreed to forfeit up to 1,125,000 Founder Shares
to the extent that the over-allotment option is not exercised in full by the underwriters. The forfeiture will be adjusted
to the extent that the over-allotment option is not exercised in full by the underwriters so that the Founder Shares will
represent 20.0% of the Company's issued and outstanding shares after the Initial Public Offering. The Initial Stockholders
agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of the Founder Shares until one year after the date
of the consummation of the initial Business Combination or earlier if, subsequent to the initial Business Combination, (i) the
last sale price of the Company's Class A common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock
dividends, 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 (ii) the Company consummates a subsequent liquidation, merger, stock
exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of the Company's stockholders having the right to exchange their
shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property. Private Placement Warrants Simultaneously
with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 5,333,333 Private Placement Warrants at
a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds of approximately $8.0 million in the aggregate. Simultaneously
with the closing of the sale of the Over-allotment Units, the Sponsor purchased an additional 188,235 Private Placement Warrants
at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds of approximately $282,353. 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
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 May 16, 2019, the
Sponsor agreed to loan the Company an aggregate of up to $300,000 to cover organizational expenses and expenses related to the
Initial Public Offering pursuant to a promissory note (the "Note"). This loan is non-interest bearing and payable
on the completion of the Initial Public Offering. As of June 30, 2019, the Company has borrowed approximately $126,000 under the
Note. The Company repaid the Note in full to the Sponsor on August 12, 2019. 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, without interest, 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. To date, the Company had no borrowings under the Working Capital Loans. Note 1 — Description of Organization,
Business Operations and Basis of Presentation Switchback Energy
Acquisition Corporation (the "Company") was incorporated in Delaware on May 10, 2019. 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 (the "Business Combination"). Although the Company is not limited to a
particular industry or sector for purposes of consummating a Business Combination, the Company intends to focus its search for
a target business in the energy industry in North America. The Company is an emerging growth company and, as such, the Company
is subject to all of the risks associated with emerging growth companies. As of June 30, 2019,
the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from May 10, 2019 (inception) through June 30, 2019
relates to the Company's formation and the initial public offering (the "Initial
Public Offering"), which is described below. 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. The Company has
selected December 31 as its fiscal year end. The
Company's sponsor is NGP Switchback, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the "Sponsor"). The registration
statement for the Initial Public Offering was declared effective on July 25, 2019. On July 30, 2019, the Company consummated
the Initial Public Offering of 30,000,000 units (the "Units" and, with respect to the Class A common stock
included in the Units, the "Public Shares") at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $300.0 million,
and incurring offering costs of approximately $17.0 million, inclusive of $10.43 million in deferred underwriting commissions
(Note 5). The underwriters were granted a 45-day option from
the date of the final prospectus relating to the Initial Public Offering to purchase up to 4,500,000 additional Units to cover
over-allotments, if any, at $10.00 per Unit, less underwriting discounts and commissions. On September 4, 2019, the underwriters
partially exercised the over-allotment option and, on September 6, 2019, the underwriters purchased an additional 1,411,763 units
(the "Over-allotment Units"), generating gross proceeds of $14,117,630. The over-allotment option subsequently expired. Simultaneously
with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale (the "Private Placement") of 5,333,333
warrants (each, a "Private Placement Warrant" and collectively, the "Private Placement Warrants") at a
price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant in a private placement to the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of approximately
$8.0 million (Note 4). Simultaneously with the closing of the sale of the Over-allotment
Units, the Sponsor purchased an additional 188,235 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant,
generating gross proceeds of approximately $282,353. Approximately
$314.1 million ($10.00 per Unit) of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering (including the Over-allotment Units) and certain
of the proceeds of the Private Placement was 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 U.S. "government
securities," within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the
"Investment Company Act"), with a maturity of 185 days or less, or in money market funds meeting the conditions of
paragraphs (d)(1), (d)(2), (d)(3) and (d)(4) of Rule 2a-7 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. 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 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. The Company will provide
holders of the Company's outstanding Public Shares (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) 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 were recorded at a redemption value and classified as
temporary equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering. In such case, the Company will only proceed with a Business
Combination if, among other things, the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 upon consummation of such Business
Combination and a majority of the shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination. 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 Certificate of Incorporation (the "Certificate 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 its 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) and any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial
Public Offering in favor of a Business Combination. In addition, the Initial Stockholders have agreed to waive their redemption
rights with respect to their Founder Shares and Public Shares in connection with the completion of a Business Combination. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Certificate of Incorporation provides 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")), will be restricted from redeeming its shares
with respect to more than an aggregate of 20% of the Public Shares. The Sponsor and the
Company's officers and directors (the "Initial Stockholders") have agreed not to propose an amendment to the
Certificate of Incorporation that would affect 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 time frame described below, 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 within 24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering, or July 30, 2021
(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 earned on the funds held
in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its franchise and income taxes (less 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), subject
to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company's
remaining stockholders and its board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company's obligations
under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. The Initial Stockholders
have agreed to waive their liquidation rights with respect to the Founder Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination
within the Combination Period. However, the Initial Stockholders will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account
with respect to any Public Shares that they hold 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 business
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 due to reductions in the value of the trust assets
as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, in each case including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account
and not previously released to the Company to pay its franchise and income taxes, less franchise and income taxes payable. This
liability will not apply with respect to any claims by a third party or Target that executed an agreement waiving claims against
and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account whether or not such agreement is enforceable or 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, prospective
target businesses 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 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America ("GAAP") for financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Accordingly,
they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP. In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed
financial statements reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair statement
of the balances and results for the periods presented. Operating results for the period from May 10, 2019 (inception) through June
30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected through December 31, 2019. The accompanying unaudited
condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in
the final prospectus filed by the Company with the SEC on July 29, 2019 related to the Initial Public Offering and the audited
balance sheet included in the Form 8-K filed by the Company with the SEC on August 5, 2019. 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 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. Note 5 — Commitments and Contingencies Registration Rights The holders of Founder
Shares, Private Placement Warrants 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) will be 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 the Company will not permit any registration statement filed under the Securities Act
to become effective until the termination of the applicable lock-up period for the securities to be registered. The Company
will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements. Underwriting Agreement Except for the Affiliated
Units, the underwriters were entitled to an underwriting discount of $0.20 per unit, or $5.96 million in the aggregate, paid
upon closing of the Initial Public Offering. An additional fee of approximately $282,353
in the aggregate was due in connection with the closing of the sale of the Over-allotment Units. In addition, $0.35 per
unit (but not including the Affiliated Units), or approximately $10.92 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 the Company completes a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement. Note 7 — Subsequent Events Commencing
on the date that the securities of the Company were first listed on the New York Stock Exchange, the Company has agreed to pay
the Sponsor a total of $10,000 per month for office space, utilities, secretarial support and administrative services. Upon completion
of the Company's initial Business Combination or the Company's liquidation, the Company will cease paying these monthly
fees. The
Company evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date up to the date that the financial
statements were issued. Other than as described above and in these financial statements in relation to the Company's Initial
Public Offering (Note 3) and related transactions, the Company did not identify any subsequent events that would have required
adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements. 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 Deposit Insurance Corporation limit of $250,000. At June 30, 2019, the Company has not experienced
losses on these accounts, and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts. Fair Value
of Financial Instruments Fair
value is defined as the price that would be received for sale of an asset or paid for transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction
between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the
inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for
identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).
These tiers include: In some circumstances,
the inputs used to measure fair value might be categorized within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In those
instances, the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input
that is significant to the fair value measurement. As of June 30, 2019,
the carrying values of cash, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and note payable to related party approximate their fair values
due to the short-term nature of the instruments. Use of Estimates The preparation of
the unaudited condensed financial statements in conformity with 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
at the date of the unaudited condensed financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Making
estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the
effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management
considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future events. Accordingly, the
actual results could differ from those estimates. Deferred Offering Costs Associated with
the Initial Public Offering Deferred offering
costs consist of legal, accounting, underwriting fees and other costs incurred through the balance sheet date that are directly
related to the Initial Public Offering and that were charged to stockholders' equity upon the completion of the Initial Public
Offering in July 2019. Net Loss Per
Share of Common Stock Net
loss per share of common stock is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding
during the period. At June 30, 2019, the Company did not have any dilutive securities and other contracts that could, potentially,
be exercised or converted into common stock and then share in the earnings of the Company. As a result, diluted loss per share
is the same as basic loss per share for the period presented. Income Taxes The Company follows
the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated
future tax consequences attributable to differences between the 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. For tax 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 June 30, 2019. 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 June 30, 2019. 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 In July 2017, the
Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2017-11, Earnings Per Share
(Topic 260); Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480); Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): (Part I) Accounting for Certain
Financial Instruments with Down Round Features, (Part II) Replacement of the Indefinite Deferral for Mandatorily Redeemable Financial
Instruments of Certain Nonpublic Entities and Certain Mandatorily Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests with a Scope Exception.
The ASU allows companies to exclude a down round feature when determining whether a financial instrument (or embedded conversion
feature) is considered indexed to the entity's own stock. As a result, financial instruments (or embedded conversion features)
with down round features may no longer be required to be classified as liabilities. A company will recognize the value of a down
round feature only when it is triggered and the strike price has been adjusted downward. For equity-classified freestanding financial
instruments, such as warrants, an entity will treat the value of the effect of the down round, when triggered, as a dividend and
a reduction of income available to common shareholders in computing basic earnings per share. For convertible instruments with
embedded conversion features containing down round provisions, entities will recognize the value of the down round as a beneficial
conversion discount to be amortized to earnings. The guidance in ASU 2017-11 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted this guidance at inception. As a result, the warrants
to be issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants to the Sponsor will
be equity-classified. The Company's
management does not believe that there are any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements that, if
currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.&V_P]*S&Q6]5,OB3PW%=$3^X#*^0=>:*KX!QEH]57 +'QD^#WF!XU(.#
