On December 15, 2020, Mr. Rob Wiesenthal, Chief Executive Officer of Blade Urban Air Mobility, Inc. (“Blade”), appeared on CNBC’s Squawk Box for an interview with Mr. Andrew Ross Sorkin.

During the interview, Mr. Sorkin suggested that Mr. Chamath Palihapitiya was an investor in the PIPE funding committed for Experience Investment Corp.’s (“EIC”) proposed business combination with Blade. Mr. Wiesenthal then noted that an affiliate of Hedosophia, an investment firm that at times invests alongside Mr. Palihapitiya, committed funding for the PIPE, as well as other notable investors.

As a matter of clarification, neither Mr. Palihapitiya nor his Social Capital investment fund are investors in the PIPE for EIC’s proposed business combination with Blade.
