Notes to the Financial Statements
NOTE 1—DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS
Organization and General
CBRE Acquisition Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated as a Delaware corporation on
The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”).
On October 13, 2020, the Company was funded by its Sponsor (as defined below) in the amount of $
On July 12, 2021, the Company entered into a Business Combination Agreement (as defined below), as discussed below.
Sponsor
The Company’s sponsor is CBRE Acquisition Sponsor, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”). On November 6, 2020, the Sponsor purchased an aggregate of
Initial Public Offering
The Company intends to finance a Business Combination, in part, with proceeds of $
As of February 1, 2021, holders of the Company’s SAILSM securities have the right to elect to separately trade the shares of Class A common stock and warrants included in the SAILSM securities. Any SAILSM securities not separated will continue to trade on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the symbol “CBAH.U,” and any underlying shares of Class A common stock and warrants that are separated will trade on NYSE under the symbols “CBAH” and “CBAH WS,” respectively. No fractional warrants will be issued upon separation of the SAILSM securities and only whole warrants will trade. The SAILSM securities will separate, without further action by the holders, at the closing of the Business Combination.
The Trust Account
Of the $

Funds will remain in the Trust Account except for the withdrawal of interest earned on the funds that may be released to the Company to pay taxes. The proceeds from the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants will not be released from the Trust Account until the earliest of (i) the completion of a Business Combination, (ii) the redemption of any public shares properly submitted in connection with a stockholder vote to amend the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation (A) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with the Company’s Business Combination or to redeem
The remaining proceeds outside the Trust Account may be used to pay business, legal and accounting due diligence costs on prospective acquisitions, listing fees and continuing general and administrative expenses.
Business Combination
The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering, although substantially all of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering are intended to be generally applied toward consummating a Business Combination with (or acquisition of) a target business. As used herein, a Business Combination must be with one or more target businesses that together have an aggregate fair market value equal to at least
Having signed a definitive agreement for a Business Combination, the Company will provide the public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their shares of Class A common stock in connection with a stockholder meeting to approve the Business Combination. Each public stockholder may elect to redeem their public shares irrespective of whether they vote for or against the Business Combination at a per share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay taxes, divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, subject to the limitations described herein. The amount in the Trust Account is initially anticipated to be approximately $
The Company has 24 months from the closing date of the Initial Public Offering to complete its Business Combination (or 27 months, as applicable). If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within this period, it shall (i) cease all operations except for the purposes of winding up; (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than business days thereafter, subject to lawfully available funds therefore, 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 in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its taxes (and up to $
The underwriter has agreed to waive its rights to any deferred underwriting commission held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination and those amounts will be included with the funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the Company’s public shares.
If the Company fails to complete a Business Combination, the redemption of the Company’s public shares will reduce the book value of the shares held by the Sponsor and the Company’s directors and officers, who will be the only remaining stockholders after such redemptions.
When the Company holds a stockholder vote in connection with a Business Combination, a public stockholder will have the right to redeem its shares for an amount in cash equal to its pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay taxes, subject to the Redemption Floor. As a result, such shares have been recorded at their redemption amount and classified as temporary equity in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” (ASC 480).

Business Combination Agreement
On
Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, at the closing of the transactions contemplated therein, First Merger Sub will merge with and into Altus, and the company surviving that merger will merge with and into Second Merger Sub and, as a result of such mergers, the holders of common stock of Altus will be entitled to receive, in the aggregate, $
The Business Combination Agreement contains certain termination rights for CBAH and Altus, including the right of either party to terminate the agreement if the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement have not occurred by March 31, 2022 (subject to certain exceptions) or if CBAH has not obtained the required approvals from its stockholders.
PIPE Subscription Agreements
Concurrently with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, the Company has entered into separate subscription agreements (collectively, the “PIPE Subscription Agreements”), dated
Modification of Alignment Shares
At the closing of the Business Combination Agreement, the Company’s certificate of incorporation will be amended and restated to be in the form attached to the Business Combination Agreement (the “PubCo Charter”), and will, among other things, provide that the shares of Class B common stock will convert into shares of Class A common stock over a seven year measurement period following the closing. Furthermore,
The fair value of the Alignment Shares was remeasured upon the agreement to the modification described above. The fair value of the Alignment Shares was reduced to approximately $
Going Concern Consideration
In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB’s Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” management has determined that the Company has access to additional funds from the Sponsor that are sufficient to fund the working capital needs of the Company for at least one year from the issuance of these financial statements. See “Note 4—Related Party Transactions—Sponsor Promissory Note” for further information.

NOTE 2—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the accounting and disclosure rules and regulations of the SEC, and reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position at September 30, 2021 and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
Emerging Growth Company
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 Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a 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 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.
Cash
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and on deposit at banking institutions as well as all highly liquid short-term investments with original maturities of 90 days or less. The Company did not have any cash equivalents as of September 30, 2021 or December 31, 2020.
Assets Held in Trust Account
The Company invests in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of
As of September 30, 2021, the assets held in the Trust Account were comprised of $
Class A Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemptions
The Company accounts for its common stock as subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC 480. Common stock subject to mandatory redemption is classified as a liability instrument and is measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including common stock that features redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, common stock is classified as stockholders’ equity. The Company’s Class A common stock features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, the Company’s Class A common stock subject to possible redemption is presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ deficit section of the Company’s Balance Sheet.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution, which at times may exceed the Federal depository insurance coverage of $

Fair Value Measurement
ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes and ranks the level of observability of inputs used to measure investments at fair value. The observability of inputs is impacted by a number of factors, including the type of investment, characteristics specific to the investment, market conditions and other factors. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level I measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level III measurements).
Investments with readily available quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from quoted prices in active markets will typically have a higher degree of input observability and a lesser degree of judgment applied in determining fair value.
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC 820 are as follows:
Level I — Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical investments at the measurement date are used.
Level II — Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices included within Level I that are observable for the investment, either directly or indirectly. Level II pricing inputs include quoted prices for similar investments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar investments in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the investment, and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
Level III — Pricing inputs are unobservable and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the investment. The inputs used in determination of fair value require significant judgment and estimation.
In some cases, the inputs used to measure fair value might fall within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the investment is categorized in its entirety is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the investment. Assessing the significance of a particular input to the valuation of an investment in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the investment. The categorization of an investment within the hierarchy is based upon the pricing transparency of the investment and does not necessarily correspond to the perceived risk of that investment.
Offering Costs
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method in accordance with the “Accounting for Income Taxes” Topic of the FASB ASC (Topic 740). Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured by applying enacted tax rates and laws and are released in the years in which the 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 includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are provided against deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.
ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense.
Net Income (Loss) per Share of Common Stock private place
The Company has two classes of common stock, Class A common stock and Class B common stock. Earnings and losses are shared pro rata between the two classes of common stock. Net income (loss) per share of common stock is computed by dividing pro rata net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, plus to the extent dilutive, the incremental number of shares of common stock to settle warrants, as calculated using the treasury stock method.

Stock-Based Compensation
Stock-based compensation expense associated with the Company’s equity awards is measured at fair value upon the grant date and recognized over the requisite service period. To the extent a stock-based award is subject to a performance condition, the amount of expense recorded in a given period, if any, reflects an assessment of the probability of achieving such performance condition, with compensation recognized once the event is deemed probable to occur. The fair value of equity awards has been estimated using Monte Carlo simulations. Forfeitures are recognized as incurred.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Refer to “Note 7—Redeemable Warrant Liability” for the valuation of the Company’s Redeemable Warrant liability. Refer to “Note 4–Related Party Transactions–Sponsor Promissory Note” for the valuation of the Company’s Sponsor Promissory Note. Refer to “Note 8—Stock-Based Compensation” for the valuation of the Company’s stock-based compensation.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2019-12, “Income Taxes (ASC 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes.” This ASU removes specific exceptions to the general principles in ASC 740 and improves and simplifies financial statement preparers’ application of income tax-related guidance. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those years, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2019-12 in the first quarter of 2021 and the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

Pursuant to the Initial Public Offering, the Company sold
Alignment Shares
As of September 30, 2021, the Sponsor and the Company’s directors and officers held
The Alignment Shares are designated as shares of Class B common stock and are different from the shares of Class A common stock included in the SAILSM securities in several important ways, including that:

The term “measurement period” means (i) the period beginning on the date of the Company’s Business Combination and ending with, and including, the first fiscal quarter following the end of the fiscal year in which the Company consummates the Business Combination and (ii) each of the nine successive four-fiscal-quarter periods. The “price threshold” will initially equal $
Upon a change of control occurring after the Business Combination (but not in connection with the Business Combination), for the measurement period in which the change of control transaction occurs, the 201,250 Alignment Shares will automatically convert into conversion shares (on the business day immediately prior to such event), as follows:
The Company’s Sponsor, directors and officers have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell (i) any of their respective Alignment Shares except to any permitted transferees and (ii) any of their respective shares of Class A common stock deliverable upon conversion of the Alignment Shares for

Private Placement Warrants
On December 10, 2020 the Sponsor purchased from the Company an aggregate of
The Private Placement Warrants are not redeemable by the Company so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by holders other than the Sponsor or its permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants are redeemable by the Company and exercisable by the holders on the same basis as the warrants included in the SAILSM securities sold in the Initial Public Offering. The Sponsor, or its permitted transferees, have the option to exercise the Private Placement Warrants on a cashless basis. The Private Placement Warrants are not transferable, assignable or salable until
If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the offering (or 27 months, as applicable), the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants held in the Trust Account will be used to fund the redemption of the Company’s public shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law) and the Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless.
Registration and Stockholder Rights
The registration and stockholder rights agreement of the Company (the “Registration and Stockholder Rights Agreement”) provides that holders of the Alignment Shares, Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of working capital loans, if any, have registration rights to require the Company to register a sale of any of the Company’s securities held by such holders. These holders are entitled to make demands that the Company register such securities for sale under the Securities Act. In addition, these holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights to include such securities in other registration statements filed by the Company and rights to require the Company to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. The Company will bear the costs and expenses incurred in connection with filing any such registration statements. Pursuant to the Registration and Stockholder Rights Agreement, the Sponsor is entitled to nominate three individuals for election to the Company’s board of directors, as long as the Sponsor holds any securities covered by the Registration and Stockholder Rights Agreement.

The Company determined that the incremental fair value over the price paid for the Alignment Shares and Private Placement Warrants would qualify as stock-based compensation within scope of ASC 718, “Compensation—Stock Compensation” (ASC 718) as a result of the services the Sponsor and directors and officers are providing to the Company through the date of a Business Combination.
Under ASC 718, stock-based compensation associated with equity-classified awards is measured at fair value upon the grant date and recognized over the requisite service period. The Alignment Shares and Private Placement Warrants were granted subject to a performance condition (i.e., the occurrence of a Business Combination ), as well as various market conditions (i.e., stock price targets after consummation of the Business Combination). The various market conditions are considered in determining the grant date fair value of these instruments using Monte Carlo simulation. Compensation expense related to the Alignment Shares and Private Placement Warrants is recognized only when the satisfaction of the performance condition is probable. At September 30, 2021, the Company determined that a Business Combination is not considered probable, and, therefore, no stock-based compensation expense has been recognized through September 30, 2021. Total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense associated with the Alignment Shares and Private Placement Warrants as of September 30, 2021 was determined to be in excess of $
On July 12, 2021, the Company entered into a Business Combination Agreement that modified the terms of the Alignment Shares. The awards continue to be subject to a performance condition (i.e., the occurrence of a Business Combination) so no expense was recognized upon the modification date. Rather, the Alignment Shares were remeasured as of the modification date. Refer to “Note 1 – Description of Organization and Business Operations – Modification of Alignment Shares” for further discussion on the modification.

NOTE 10—INCOME TAXES
The Company’s provision for income taxes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $
As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company has concluded that it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize the benefit of its deferred tax assets associated with net operating losses and capitalized start-up costs. Start-up costs cannot be amortized until the Company starts business operations. Therefore, a full valuation allowance has been established, as future events such as business combinations cannot be considered when assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets. Accordingly, the net deferred tax assets have been fully reserved.
As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company has

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The following discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the notes related thereto which are included in Part I, Item 1. Financial Statements of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Certain information contained in the discussion and analysis set forth below includes forward-looking statements. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including those set forth under “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,” “Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors” and elsewhere in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 31, 2021 (our “2020 Annual Report”), as well as in our other reports filed with the SEC, including our Form S-4/A, filed on October 15, 2021.
Overview
We are a blank check company incorporated on October 13, 2020 as a Delaware corporation and formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses or assets, which we refer to throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as our business combination. We completed our initial public offering (“Initial Public Offering”) on December 15, 2020. We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”) and, as such, we are subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies.
Business Combination Agreement
On July 12, 2021, the Company entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”) by and among CBAH, CBAH Merger Sub I, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“First Merger Sub”), CBAH Merger Sub II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Second Merger Sub”), Altus Power America Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Altus Power Holdings”), APAM Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Altus Management Holdings”) and Altus Power, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Altus”). Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, CBAH will acquire Altus and CBAH will be renamed as “Altus Power, Inc.”
Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, at the closing of the transactions contemplated therein, First Merger Sub will merge with and into Altus, and the company surviving that merger will merge with and into Second Merger Sub and, as a result of such mergers, the holders of common stock of Altus will be entitled to receive, in the aggregate, $900 million of CBAH’s Class A common stock (valued at $10 per share). All issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Altus are currently held by Altus Power Holdings, and prior to the closing such shares would be distributed to holders of equity interests in Altus Power Holdings (including Altus Management Holdings) and Altus Management Holdings will distribute the shares it receives to the equity holders of Altus Management Holdings. In addition, at the closing, each share of preferred stock of Altus issued and outstanding immediately prior to such merger will be redeemed. Such redemption is expected to require approximately $275 million, assuming no additional preferred equity is issued prior to the closing. Altus is permitted to issue additional preferred stock subject to certain restrictions in the Business Combination Agreement.
The Business Combination Agreement contains certain termination rights for CBAH and Altus, including the right of either party to terminate the agreement if the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement have not occurred by March 31, 2022 (subject to certain exceptions) or if CBAH has not obtained the required approvals from its stockholders.
Concurrently with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, the Company has entered into separate subscription agreements (collectively, the “PIPE Subscription Agreements”), dated July 12, 2021, with certain investors, pursuant to which the Company has agreed to issue and sell, in private placements to close contemporaneously with, but immediately prior to, the Business Combination, an aggregate of 27.5 million shares of Class A common stock (the “PIPE Shares”), for a purchase price of $10.00 per share and an aggregate purchase price of $275.0 million (the “PIPE Investment”). The purchase of the PIPE Shares is conditioned upon, and will be consummated concurrently with, the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement. Pursuant to its PIPE Subscription Agreement, the Sponsor has committed to purchase shares of the Company’s Class A common stock in an aggregate amount of $70.0 million, with a commitment to purchase additional shares of the Company’s Class A common stock in an aggregate amount of up to $150.0 million to the extent of the amount of redemptions of shares of the Company’s Class A common stock submitted for redemption by public stockholders in connection with the closing. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Director, William Concannon has also committed to purchase shares of the Company’s Class A common stock in an aggregate amount of $1.0 million.

Results of Operations
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, we reported net losses of $10,091,931 and $5,856,140, respectively. As of September 30, 2021, we had neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. We will not generate any operating revenues until after completion of our business combination, at the earliest. The net loss during the three months ended September 30, 2021 was primarily driven by the increase in the fair value of both the Redeemable Warrant (as defined below) liability and Sponsor Promissory Note ( as defined below) liability from June 30, 2021 to September 30, 2021 and operating expenses incurred during the period. The net loss during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was primarily driven by operating expenses incurred during the period and an increase in the fair value of the Sponsor Promissory Note liability offset by a decrease in the fair value of the Redeemable Warrant liability from December 31, 2020 to September 30, 2021.
Since completing our Initial Public Offering, we generate non-operating income on cash and funds held in the trust account in the form of interest income on cash and funds invested in specified U.S. government treasury obligations or in specified money market funds which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations. Other than changes in the fair value of the Redeemable Warrant liability and Sponsor Promissory Note liability, there have been no significant changes in our financial or trading position and no material adverse change has occurred since the date of our last audited financial statements. 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 for due diligence expenses. We cannot assure you that our plans to complete our business combination will be successful.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, our activities mainly consisted of identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates, and negotiating a potential business combination. We believe that we have sufficient funds available to complete our efforts to effect a business combination with an operating business by December 15, 2022 (or March 15, 2023 if applicable), including from our Sponsor Note. However, if our estimates of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating a business combination are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, we may have insufficient funds available to operate our business prior to our business combination.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
On October 13, 2020, CBRE Acquisition Sponsor, LLC (our “Sponsor”) purchased 100 shares of undesignated common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $100, or $1.00 per share. On November 6, 2020, our Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 2,300,000 shares of our Class B common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000, or approximately $0.01 per share. On November 27, 2020, 287,500 of such shares were forfeited by the holder thereof. Prior to the initial investment in the Company of $25,000 by our Sponsor, the Company had no assets, tangible or intangible.
On October 21, 2020, our Sponsor agreed to loan us up to $300,000 by the issuance of an unsecured promissory note to be used for a portion of the expenses related to the organization of our company and our Initial Public Offering. As of December 15, 2020 the outstanding balance on the loan was $215,316. This loan was non-interest bearing, unsecured and due at the earlier of June 30, 2021, and the closing of our Initial Public Offering. The loan was repaid in full upon the consummation of our Initial Public Offering out of the $1,500,000 of offering proceeds that had been allocated for the payment of offering expenses (other than underwriting commissions) not held in the trust account (as defined below).
On December 15, 2020 we consummated our Initial Public Offering of 40,250,000 SAILSM, including the issuance of 5,250,000 SAILSM securities as a result of the underwriter’s exercise of its over-allotment option. Each SAILSM security consists of one share of Class A common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Class A common stock”), and one-fourth of one Redeemable Warrant (the “Redeemable Warrants”), each whole Redeemable Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one share of Class A common stock at an exercise price of $11.00 per share. The SAILSM securities were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per SAILSM security, generating gross proceeds of $402,500,000, including the proceeds from the exercise of the underwriter’s over-allotment option. In connection with the consummation of the Initial Public Offering and the issuance and sale of the SAILSM securities, we consummated the private placement of 7,366,667 warrants (the “private placement warrants”) at a price of $1.50 per private placement warrant, each exercisable to purchase one share of Class A common stock at $11.00 per share, generating total proceeds of approximately $11,050,000. After deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions (excluding the deferred underwriting discount held in the trust account, which amount will be payable upon the consummation of our business combination, if consummated) and the estimated offering expenses, the total net proceeds from our Initial Public Offering and the sale of the private placement warrants was $402,500,000 (or $10.00 per SAILSM security sold in the Initial Public Offering), which was placed in the trust account in the United States (the “trust account”) maintained by Continental Stock Transfer and Trust Company acting as trustee (the “Trustee”). The amount of proceeds not deposited in the trust account was $1,500,000 at the closing of our Initial Public Offering. Funds will remain in the trust account except for the withdrawal of interest earned on the funds that may be released to the us to pay taxes.
On February 16, 2021, we entered into a second amended and restated promissory note (the “Sponsor Promissory Note”) with our Sponsor, with borrowing capacity up to $3,000,000. in order to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended business combination. The note is non-interest bearing and the unpaid principal balance of the promissory note shall be payable on the earlier of: (i) the consummation of a business combination and (ii) December 31, 2022 (or March 31, 2023 if applicable). The principal amount of such loans may be convertible into warrants of the post-business combination entity at a price of $1.50 per warrant at the option of our sponsor. These warrants would be identical to the private placement warrants. On May 17, 2021, the Company borrowed $1,100,000 under the Sponsor Promissory Note. On August 12, 2021 the Company borrowed an additional $1,900,000 under the Sponsor Promissory Note, for total outstanding borrowings of $3,000,000 as of September 30, 2021. .
At September 30, 2021, we had $402,519,359 of assets held in the trust account and we had $1,408,837 in cash outside the trust account, which is available to fund our working capital requirements.
20
We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the trust account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the trust account (excluding deferred underwriting commissions) to complete our business combination. We may withdraw interest to pay our taxes, if any. We estimate our annual franchise tax obligations, based on the number of shares of our common stock authorized and outstanding to be approximately $200,000, which is the maximum amount of annual franchise taxes payable by us as a Delaware corporation per annum. Our annual income tax obligations will depend on the amount of interest and other income earned on the amounts held in the trust account. To the extent that our capital stock or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete our business combination, the remaining proceeds held in the trust account will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business or businesses, make other acquisitions and pursue our growth strategies.
Off-balance Sheet Financing Arrangements
We had no obligations, assets or liabilities which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements at September 30, 2021. We do not participate in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements.
We had not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or entered into any non-financial agreements involving assets as of September 30, 2021.
Contractual Obligations
We did not have any long-term debt obligations, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or purchase obligations at September 30, 2021. In connection with the Initial Public Offering, we entered into an administrative services agreement to pay monthly recurring expenses of $10,000 to CBRE, Inc., an affiliate of our Sponsor, for office space, administrative and support services. The administrative services agreement terminates upon the earlier of the completion of a business combination or the liquidation of the Company. The underwriter is entitled to underwriting discounts and commissions of 5.5%, of which 2.0% ($8,050,000) was paid at the consummation of our Initial Public Offering, and 3.5% ($14,087,500) was deferred. The deferred underwriting commission will become payable to the underwriter 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. The underwriter is not entitled to any interest accrued on the deferred underwriting discount.
A portion of the deferred underwriting commission, not to exceed 20% of the total amount of the deferred underwriting commissions held in the trust account, may be re-allocated or paid (a) to any underwriter from our Initial Public Offering in an amount (at the sole discretion of the Company’s management team) that is disproportionate to the portion of the aggregate deferred underwriting commission payable to such underwriter based on their participation in the Initial Public Offering and/or (b) to third parties that did not participate in our Initial Public Offering (but who are members of FINRA) that assist the Company in consummating a business combination. The election to or make any such payments to third parties will be solely at the discretion of the Company’s management team, and such third parties will be selected by the management team in their sole and absolute discretion. 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.
Critical Accounting Policies
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and pursuant to the accounting and disclosure rules and regulations of the SEC, and reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position at September 30, 2021 and the results of operations and cash flows for the period presented. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. A discussion of such critical accounting policies, which include financial instruments, fair value measurement, stock-based compensation and income taxes can be found in our 2020 Annual Report. There have been no material changes to these policies as of September 30, 2021, except as follows:
Redeemable Warrant liability
Pursuant to the Initial Public Offering, the Company sold 40,250,000 SAILSM securities (including the full exercise of the underwriter’s over-allotment option) at a price of $10.00 per SAILSM security. Each SAILSM security consists of one share of Class A common stock of the Company at $0.0001 par value and one-fourth of one Redeemable Warrant (or 10,062,500 Redeemable Warrants in the aggregate).
The Company determined that the Redeemable Warrants qualified as freestanding financial instruments that are bifurcated from the Class A common stock and classified as a separate liability pursuant to ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging” (ASC 815). According to ASC 815, financial instruments classified as liabilities are presented at fair value each reporting period, with changes in fair value recorded through earnings. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the value of the Redeemable Warrants was $16,603,125 and $18,716,250, respectively. The Company recorded a gain on the change in fair value of the Redeemable Warrants of $2,113,125 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, and a loss on the change in fair value of the Redeemable Warrants of $5,735,625 for the three months ended September 30, 2021, in the Change in fair value of redeemable warrant liability line in the Statement of Operations.
21
As the Redeemable Warrants, effective February 1, 2021, are separately traded on the NYSE under the symbol “CBAH WS,” as of September 30, 2021, the fair value of the Redeemable Warrants was determined based on the quoted trading price of these instruments. As of December 31, 2020, the fair value of these instruments was estimated using Monte Carlo simulation. The key assumptions in the option pricing model utilized are assumptions related to underlying expected share-price volatility of the warrants, the expected term, risk-free interest rate and the Company’s dividend yield. The expected volatility as of the December 15, 2020 issuance date was derived from observable public warrant pricing on comparable ‘blank-check’ companies that went public in 2019 and 2020. The risk-free interest rate is based on the interpolated U.S. Constant Maturity Treasury yield. The expected term of the warrants is assumed to be one year until the closing of a business combination, and an estimated five year holding period, based on typical equity investor holding periods. The dividend rate is based on the historical rate, which the Company anticipates to remain at zero.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements based on current operations of the Company. The impact of any recently issued accounting standards will be re-evaluated on a regular basis or if a business combination is completed where the impact could be material.

As of September 30, 2021, we were not subject to any material market or interest rate risk, except as described in the Risk Factors discussed herein and in our 2020 Annual Report. The net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the private placement warrants, including amounts in the trust account, were invested in U.S. government securities with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds that meet certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, that invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations. Due to the short-term nature of these investments, we believe there will be no associated material exposure to interest rate risk.
We have not engaged in any hedging activities since our inception on October 13, 2020. We do not expect to engage in any hedging activities with respect to the market risk to which we are exposed.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2021, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer has concluded that during the periods covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2021, due to the remediation of the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting discussed below.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
As previously disclosed in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2021, following the SEC Staff Statement, we identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting related to the accounting for certain complex financial instruments, including the Redeemable Warrants.
In response to this material weakness, we have expanded our management team to include further expertise related to complex financial instruments, performed a thorough review of our complex financial instruments and accounting positions of both new and existing instruments, and engaged third party accounting advisors. Furthermore, we enhanced the oversight and review controls related to non-recurring and complex transactions.
As of June 30, 2021, based on an assessment performed by our management on the performance of the remediation measures described above, we determined that the material weakness previously identified in our internal control over financial reporting had been remediated.
Other than as described above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2021 covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
