DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS

NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS


Motion Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated in Delaware on August 11, 2020. The Company’s sponsor is Motion Acquisition LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”). The Company’s fiscal year end is December 31.


Business Purpose


The Company was formed for the purpose of entering into a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities. The Company is not limited to a particular industry or geographic region for purposes of consummating a business combination. The Company has neither engaged in any operations nor generated revenue to date.


The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of its initial public offering of units (the “Initial Public Offering”), although substantially all of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering are intended to be generally applied toward completing a business combination. Furthermore, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully complete a business combination.


Proposed Business Combination


On March 8, 2021, the Company entered into a merger agreement with Ambulnz, Inc. The proposed business combination is subject to the approval of both companies’ stockholders, obtaining the required regulatory approvals, and the fulfillment of other conditions. See Note 11 for a further description of this proposed business combination.


Financing


The registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on October 14, 2020. On October 19, 2020, the Company consummated its Initial Public Offering of 11,500,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the Class A common stock included in the Units being offered, the “Public Shares”) at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $115.0 million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $6.7 million, inclusive of $4.0 million in deferred underwriting commissions (Note 4).


Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the private placement (“Private Placement”) of 2,533,333 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 $3.8 million (Note 5).


The Company granted the underwriter a 45-day option from the date of Initial Public Offering to purchase up to 1,725,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments at the Initial Public Offering price less the underwriting discounts and commissions. In November 2020, the underwriter advised the Company that it had elected to not exercise the over-allotment option (Note 4).


Trust Account


Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement, $115.0 million ($10.00 per Unit) of the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and Private Placement Warrants in the Private Placement were placed in a trust account (“Trust Account”) located in the United States with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee. The proceeds held in the Trust Account will either be held as cash or invested only in U.S. “government securities,” within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of 185 days or less, or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under 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.


Pursuant to stock exchange listing rules, the Company must complete an initial business combination with one or more target businesses that together have an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the assets held in the Trust Account (as defined below) (excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on the income earned on the Trust Account) 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 business sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”).


The Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that, other than the withdrawal of interest earned on the funds that may be released to the Company to pay taxes, none of the funds held in the Trust Account will be released until the earliest of: (i) the completion of the business combination; (ii) the redemption of any of Public Shares to its holders (the “Public Stockholders”) properly tendered in connection with a stockholder vote to amend certain provisions of the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation prior to an initial business combination and (iii) the redemption of 100% of the Public Shares if the Company does not complete a business combination within the Combination Period (as defined below).


The Company, having signed a definitive agreement for an initial business combination (Note 11), will either (i) seek stockholder approval of the business combination at a meeting called for such purpose in connection with which Public Stockholders may seek to redeem their Public shares, regardless of whether they vote for or against the business combination or do not vote at all, for cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the initial business combination, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its taxes, or (ii) provide the Public Stockholders with the opportunity to sell their shares to the Company by means of a tender offer for an amount in cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the initial business combination, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its taxes. As a result, such redeemable common stock was recorded at redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering, in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Except as required by applicable law, the decision as to whether the Company will seek stockholder approval of the business combination or will allow stockholders to sell their shares in a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion, and will be based on a variety of factors such as the timing of the transaction and whether the terms of the transaction would otherwise require the Company to seek stockholder approval. If the Company seeks stockholder approval, it will complete its business combination only if a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock voted are voted in favor of the business combination. However, in no event will the Company redeem its Public Shares in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001 either immediately prior to or upon consummation of the Company’s initial business combination. In such case, the Company would not proceed with the redemption of its Public Shares and the related business combination, and instead may search for an alternate business combination.


The Company will have 24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering, or October 19, 2022, to complete its initial business combination (the “Combination Period”). If the Company does not complete a business combination within this period of time (and stockholders do not approve an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation to extend this date), it 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 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 Stockholder’s rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any); and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining stockholders and the Company’s board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) to the Company’s obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. The Company’s Sponsor and the Company’s officers and directors have entered into agreements with the Company, pursuant to which they have waived their rights to participate in any redemption with respect to their Founder Shares (as defined below) in the event the Company does not complete a business combination within the required time period; provided, however, if the Sponsor or any of the Company’s officers, directors or affiliates acquire Public Shares after the Initial Public Offering, they will be entitled to a pro rata share of the Trust Account upon the Company’s redemption or liquidation in the event the Company does not complete a business combination within the Combination Period. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value in the Trust Account will be less than the Initial Public Offering price per Unit of $10.00.
