NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

1.       Description of the Business Combination

 

On June 22, 2021, NGA, Merger Sub, a wholly owned subsidiary of NGA, and Embark entered into the Merger Agreement. The Merger Agreement provided for, among other things, the merger of Merger Sub with and into Embark (the “Merger”) with New Embark surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Embark Technology (formerly NGA) and New Embark equity holders holding the majority of the Embark Technology Common Stock. The Business Combination was consummated on November 10th, 2021.

 

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the aggregate stock consideration issued by the Post-Combination Company in the Business Combination will be $4.9 billion consisting of 485,638,573 newly issued shares, factoring a decrease of approximately 29.9 million of New Embark Class A Common Stock as a result of NGA Stockholders who elected to participate in the Embark Pre-Closing Redemption for aggregate proceeds of approximately $299.9 million. Additionally, the stock consideration is decreased by the forfeiture of approximately 0.3 million of New Embark Class A Common Stock as a result of NGA Sponsors Stockholders who forfeited shares in accordance with the terms of the Forward Purchase Agreement. Based on an assumed Post-Combination Company value of $10.00 per share, New Embark will receive $4.4 billion in the form of 444,188,975 reclassified shares of the Post-Combination Company. NGA public stockholders will receive $115.6 million in the form of 11,564,865 newly issued shares considering 29.9 million shares of redemptions, the PIPE and Forward Purchase Agreement Subscribers (the “Subscriber(s)”) will receive $200.0 million in the form of 20,000,000 newly issued shares, and the Sponsor will receive $98.8 million in the form of 9,884,733 reclassified shares in exchange for NGA’s existing Common Stock. The following represents the consideration at closing of the Business Combination:

 

(in millions)    
Share issuance to Embark shareholders(1)   4,441.9 
Share issuance to NGA shareholders   115.6 
Share issuance to Subscriber(s)   200.0 
Share issuance to Sponsor   98.8 
Share Consideration—at Closing   4,856.4 

 

 

 

(1)The share consideration to be transferred to Embark shareholders include (i) $4,039.0 million to holders of issued and outstanding Embark Common Stock, (ii) $35.7 million for the conversion of the then outstanding Convertible Note ; (iii) $6.4 million for the conversion of Embark Common Stock warrants; (iv) $361.3 million to holders of vested and unvested stock options and RSUs of Embark Common Stock.

 

The value of share consideration issued at the Closing is determined by application of the Exchange Ratio of 2.98, which is based on the implied $10.00 per share prior to the Business Combination. The unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet has been prepared to give effect to the Business Combination and related transactions summarized below as if they had been consummated on September 30, 2021. The unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statement of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, and the year ended December 31, 2020, gives effect to the Business Combination and related transactions summarized below as if they had been consummated on January 1, 2020:

the issuance and sale of 4,000,000 Forward Purchase Units at $10.00 per unit with each unit consisting of 4,000,000 shares of New Embark Technology Class A Common Stock and 666,667 redeemable warrants to purchase shares of New Embark Technology Class A Common Stock;

Basis of Presentation

 

The Business Combination will be accounted for as a reverse recapitalization, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Under this method of accounting, NGA will be treated as the acquired company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Business Combination will be treated as the equivalent of New Embark issuing shares for the net assets of NGA, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of NGA will be recognized at fair value (which is expected to be consistent with carrying value), with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded.

 

Embark has been determined to be the accounting acquirer based on evaluation of the following facts and circumstances:

 

Old Embark’s shareholders will have majority of the voting power ;
  
Old Embark will appoint the majority of the board of directors of the Post-Combination Company;
  
Old Embark’s existing management will comprise the management of the Post-Combination Company;
  
New Embark will comprise the ongoing operations of the Post-Combination Company;
  
Old Embark is the larger entity based on historical business operations;
  
The Post-Combination Company will assume Embark’s name.

 

 

 

 

 

The unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2021, assumes that the Business Combination occurred on September 30, 2021. The unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statement of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, and year ended December 31, 2020, presents the pro forma effect of the Business Combination as if it had been completed on January 1, 2020. These periods are presented on the basis of Embark as the accounting acquirer.

 

The unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2021, has been prepared using, and should be read in conjunction with, the following:

 

NGA’s unaudited Condensed Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2021, and the related notes for the period ended September 30, 2021, in NGA's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2021, and filed with the SEC on November 10, 2021; and

 

Old Embark’s unaudited Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2021, and the related notes for the period ended September 30, 2021, attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as exhibit 99.1.

 

The unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statement of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, and year ended December 31, 2020, has been prepared using, and should be read in conjunction, with the following:

 

NGA’s unaudited Condensed Statement of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, and audited Statement of Operations for the period from September 25, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2020, and the related notes, either included in the Proxy relating to Embark's business combination with NGA, dated November 10, 2021 and filed with the SEC, or in NGA's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2021, and filed with the SEC on November 10, 2021; and

 

Embark’s unaudited Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, and audited Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss for the year ended December 31, 2020, and the related notes, either included in the Proxy relating to Embark's business combination with NGA, dated November 10, 2021 and filed with the SEC, or attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as exhibit 99.1.

 

Management has made significant estimates and assumptions in its determination of the pro forma adjustments (“Transaction Accounting Adjustments”). The related transaction accounting adjustments are based on currently available information that management believes is, under the circumstances and given the information available at this time, reasonable, and reflective of adjustments necessary to report Embark’s financial condition and results of operations as if the Business Combination was completed on the dates mentioned above.

 

Therefore, it is likely that the actual adjustments will differ from the pro forma adjustments, and it is possible the difference may be material. NGA believes that its assumptions and methodologies provide a reasonable basis for presenting all of the significant effects of the Business Combination and related transactions contemplated based on information available to management at the time and that the pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to those assumptions and are properly applied in the unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information.

 

The unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information does not give effect to any anticipated synergies, operating efficiencies, tax savings, or cost savings that may be associated with the Business Combination (“Management Adjustments”). Management has elected not to present Management’s Adjustments and will only be presenting Transaction Accounting Adjustments in the unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information.

 

The unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information is not necessarily indicative of what the actual results of operations and financial position would have been had the Business Combination taken place on the dates indicated, nor are they indicative of the future consolidated results of operations or financial position of the Post-Combination Company. They should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto of each of NGA and Old Embark either included in the Proxy relating to Embark's business combination with NGA, dated November 10, 2021 and filed with the SEC, or attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as exhibit 99.1.

 

The following summarizes the pro forma Post-Combination Company shares outstanding:

 

   Number of outstanding
Shares
   Percentage of outstanding
shares
     
Post-Combination Company shares issued to Embark stockholders (2)   406,597,891    90.7%    
Post-Combination Company shares issued to NGA public stockholders   41,400,000           
Less: shares redeemed, net of sponsor transfers (1)   (29,835,135)          
Total NGA shares   11,564,865    2.6%    
                
Total Subscriber shares   20,000,000    4.5%    
                
Total Sponsor (3)   9,884,733    2.2%    
Pro Forma Shares Outstanding   448,047,490    100.0%    

 

 

 

(1)Considers NGA stockholders holding 29.9 million Public Shares having exercised their redemption rights at a value of $10.00 per share for $299.9 million of funds in the Trust Account. Additionally considering the transfer of 0.2 million Sponsor shares by NGA Sponsors to NGA Public stockholders.
(2)Includes 3.6 million shares expected to be issued to Convertible note holders at the Effective Time of the Merger for outstanding notes payable and 0.6 million shares expected to be issued to warrant holders at the Effective Time of the Merger for vested warrants, and excludes 1.7 million shares expected to be issued to holders of early exercised shares, which are not considered as outstanding from an accounting standpoint as they are not vested.
(3)Reflects the forfeiture of 0.3 million Sponsor shares by NGA Sponsors, and the transfer of 0.2 million Sponsor shares by NGA Sponsors to NGA Public stockholders.

 

 

 

 

2.       Accounting Policies

 

Upon consummation of the Business Combination, management will perform a comprehensive review of the two entities’ accounting policies.. As a result of the review, management may identify differences between the accounting policies of the two entities which, when conformed, could have a material impact on the financial statements of the Post-Combination Company.

 

3.       Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information

 

The unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information has been prepared to illustrate the effect of the Business Combination and has been prepared for informational purposes only.

 

The historical financial statements have been adjusted in the unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information to give pro forma effect to events that directly reflect the accounting for the transaction. Embark and NGA have not had any historical relationship prior to the Business Combination. Accordingly, no pro forma adjustments were required to eliminate activities between the companies.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined provision for income taxes does not necessarily reflect the amounts that would have resulted had the Post-Combination Company filed consolidated income tax returns during the periods presented.

 

The pro forma basic and diluted earnings per share amounts presented in the unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statement of Operations are based upon the number of the Post-Combination Company’s shares outstanding, assuming the Business Combination occurred on January 1, 2020.

 

Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet
