PROXY STATEMENT FOR EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING OF
SVF INVESTMENT CORP. 3
PROSPECTUS FOR
41,040,000 SHARES OF CLASS A COMMON STOCK
OF
SVF INVESTMENT CORP. 3 (AFTER ITS DOMESTICATION AS A
CORPORATION INCORPORATED IN THE STATE OF DELAWARE AND RENAMING
AS SYMBOTIC INC. IN CONNECTION WITH THE DOMESTICATION)
AND
497,777,598 SHARES OF CLASS A COMMON STOCK OF SYMBOTIC INC. WHICH MAY BE ISSUED UPON EXCHANGE OF UNITS IN NEW SYMBOTIC HOLDINGS (AS DEFINED BELOW)
Dear Shareholder:
On December 12, 2021, (a) SVF Investment Corp. 3 (“SVF 3”) and Saturn Acquisition (DE) Corp. (“Merger Sub”), a wholly owned subsidiary of SVF 3, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as it may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”) with Warehouse Technologies LLC (“Warehouse”) and Symbotic Holdings LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Warehouse (“Symbotic Holdings”, and together with Warehouse and its other subsidiaries, “Symbotic”), and (b) Warehouse and Symbotic Holdings entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as it may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Company Merger Agreement”). If the Company Merger Agreement, the Merger Agreement, the transactions contemplated thereby and the related matters described herein are adopted by our shareholders and Warehouse’s unitholders, as applicable, (i) Warehouse will merge with and into Symbotic Holdings (the “Company Reorganization”), with Symbotic Holdings surviving the merger (sometimes hereinafter referred to as “Interim Symbotic”) and (ii) immediately thereafter, Merger Sub will merge with and into Interim Symbotic (the “Merger,” and, together with the Domestication and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the “Business Combination”), with Interim Symbotic surviving the merger as a subsidiary of the Post-Combination Company (“New Symbotic Holdings”). Prior to the consummation of the Merger (the “Closing”), SVF 3 will transfer by way of continuation from the Cayman Islands and domesticate as a Delaware corporation (the “Domestication”). Following the Domestication and simultaneously with the Business Combination, SVF 3 will change its corporate name to “Symbotic Inc.” (the “Post-Combination Company” or “Symbotic Inc.”).
The organizational structure following the Closing will be what is commonly referred to as an
“Up-C”
structure, which is often used by partnerships and limited liability companies (such as Warehouse) undertaking an initial public offering. The
Up-C
structure allows unitholders of Warehouse to retain their direct equity ownership in New Symbotic Holdings, an entity that is classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, in the form of common units of New Symbotic Holdings (the “New Symbotic Holdings Common Units”) following the Closing.
The aggregate consideration to be paid to unitholders of Warehouse in the Business Combination will be based on an equity value for Warehouse (the “Equity Value”) equal to the sum of (i) $4,500,000,000,
plus
(ii) the Repurchase Amount,
plus
(iii) the amount of any cash received or paid by Warehouse on or prior to the Closing in connection with the settlement of any Warehouse warrants currently outstanding (the “Net Warrant Exercise Proceeds”). The Repurchase Amount is an amount equal to (i) $126,000,000 plus (ii) the Net Warrant Exercise Proceeds, provided that the Repurchase Amount shall not exceed $300,000,000 or be less than $0. On December 15, 2021 and May 20, 2022, Walmart, Inc. (“Walmart”) consummated the gross exercise of vested warrant units for $173,795,651 and $103,980,327, respectively, and therefore, the Net Warrant Exercise Proceeds and the Repurchase Amount are currently $277,775,979 and $300,000,000, respectively.
In connection with the Company Reorganization, each unit of Warehouse, other than any units of Warehouse with respect to which appraisal or dissenters’ rights shall have been perfected and not waived, withdrawn or lost, will be converted into the right to receive a number of common units of Interim Symbotic (the “Interim Symbotic Common Units”) equal to (i) the amount such unit of Warehouse would have been entitled to

Table of Contents
receive had the Equity Value been distributed in cash pursuant to the Fifth Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of Warehouse, dated as of April 30, 2021 (the “Warehouse LLCA”), divided by (ii) $10.00.
Immediately after the consummation of the Company Reorganization, in connection with the Merger, each Interim Symbotic Common Unit issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”) will be converted into:

| a) | the right to receive a number of New Symbotic Holdings Common Units (deemed to have a value of $10.00 per unit) equal to the quotient of: (i) the Equity Value, divided by (ii) $10.00, divided by (iii) the number of Interim Symbotic Common Units issued and outstanding on a fully diluted basis immediately prior to the Effective Time;

| b) | with respect to Interim Symbotic Common Units held by Richard B. Cohen (the “Symbotic Founder”), certain family members of the Symbotic Founder and certain affiliated entities and trusts of the Symbotic Founder and his family members, the right to receive a number of the Post-Combination Company’s Class V-3 common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, equal to the number of New Symbotic Holdings Common Units received by such party pursuant to the foregoing clause (a);

| c) | with respect to Interim Symbotic Common Units held by holders other than those set forth in the foregoing clause (b), the right to receive a number of the Post-Combination Company’s Class V-1 common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, equal to the number of New Symbotic Holdings Common Units received by such party pursuant to the foregoing clause (a); and

| d) | the contingent right to receive certain earnout interests.

Following the Closing, holders of New Symbotic Holdings Common Units (other than Symbotic Inc.) will, subject to certain limitations, have the right to cause New Symbotic Holdings to acquire all or a portion of their New Symbotic Holdings Common Units and corresponding shares of
Class V-1
common stock or
Class V-3
common stock of Symbotic Inc., which may be settled for, at Symbotic Inc.’s election, (i) one share of Class A common stock of Symbotic Inc., subject to conversion rate adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends and reclassification, or (ii) an equivalent amount of cash. These acquisitions of New Symbotic Holdings Common Units will provide potential future tax benefits for Symbotic Inc. and for the holders of New Symbotic Holdings Common Units at the Closing.
Following (but on the date of) the Closing, pursuant to the Unit Purchase Agreement between SVF 3, Warehouse, Symbotic Holdings and certain affiliated entities and trusts of the Symbotic Founder and his family members, the Post-Combination Company will purchase from such affiliated entities and trusts of the Symbotic Founder and his family members an aggregate number of New Symbotic Holdings Common Units equal to the Repurchase Amount, divided by $10.00 (such New Symbotic Holdings Common Units, the “Purchase Units”), in each case, at a price of $10.00 per Purchase Unit in cash (the “Unit Purchase”).
Based on the number of units of Warehouse outstanding and the number of units of Symbotic Holdings outstanding, in each case as of May 23, 2022, and assuming that, in connection with the Company Reorganization, each holder of units of Warehouse, including the Class A Common Units, the Class C Common Units, the Class B Preferred Units, the Class B-1 Preferred Units and the Class B-2 Preferred Units (collectively, the “Warehouse Units”), will receive, in exchange for their Warehouse Units, a number of Interim Symbotic Common Units equal to the amount the holder of such Warehouse Units would have been entitled to receive had the Equity Value been distributed in cash pursuant to the distribution waterfall set forth in the Warehouse LLCA, divided by $10.00 (i) the estimated Exchange Ratio (as defined herein) of New Symbotic Holdings Common Units for each unit of Symbotic Holdings is 1.0 and (ii) holders of Interim Symbotic Common Units as of immediately prior to the Closing will hold (through their ownership of the Post-Combination Company’s
Class V-1
common stock and
Class V-3
common stock), directly or indirectly, in the aggregate, approximately 85.9% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Post-Combination Company’s common stock immediately following the Closing and the consummation of the Unit Purchase, assuming No Redemptions (as defined herein). Each share of the Post-Combination Company’s Class A and Class V-1 common stock is entitled to one

Table of Contents
vote per share, while each share of the Post-Combination Company’s Class V-3 common stock is entitled to three votes per share. Accordingly, assuming No Redemptions, holders of the Post-Combination Company’s Class A and Class V-1 common stock will have 10.0% of the voting power of the Post-Combination Company while holders of the Post-Combination Company’s Class V-3 common stock, held by the Symbotic Founder, certain family members of the Symbotic Founder and certain affiliated entities and trusts of the Symbotic Founder and his family members, will have 90.0% of the voting power of the Post-Combination Company. SVF 3’s Class A ordinary shares are publicly traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“NASDAQ”) under the symbol “SVFC.” We intend to apply to list the Post-Combination Company’s Class A common stock on NASDAQ under the symbol “SYM” upon the Closing.
In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, SVF 3 entered into subscription agreements (collectively, the “Subscription Agreements”) with certain parties subscribing for shares of the Post-Combination Company’s Class A common stock (the “Subscribers”) pursuant to which the Subscribers have agreed to purchase, and SVF 3 has agreed to sell to the Subscribers, an aggregate of 20,500,000 shares of Class A common stock at a purchase price of $10.00 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $205,000,000. The obligations to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Subscription Agreements are conditioned upon, among other things, customary closing conditions and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.
SVF 3 will hold an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders in lieu of the 2022 annual general meeting of shareholders (the “Extraordinary General Meeting”) to consider matters relating to the proposed Business Combination. SVF 3, Merger Sub, Warehouse and Symbotic Holdings cannot complete the Business Combination unless SVF 3’s shareholders consent to the approval of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the issuance of the Post-Combination Company’s common stock to be issued as the merger consideration and the Domestication, and Warehouse’s unitholders consent to the adoption and approval of the Merger Agreement, the Company Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby. SVF 3 is sending you this proxy statement/prospectus to ask you to vote in favor of these and the other matters described in this proxy statement/prospectus.
The Extraordinary General Meeting will be held at 9:00 a.m. eastern time, on June 3, 2022, in virtual format. For the purposes of SVF 3’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, the physical location of the meeting shall be at the offices of Walkers (190 Elgin Avenue, George Town, Grand Cayman
KY1-9001,
Cayman Islands).
YOUR VOTE IS VERY IMPORTANT, REGARDLESS OF THE NUMBER OF ORDINARY SHARES YOU OWN. To ensure your representation at the Extraordinary General Meeting, please complete and return the enclosed proxy card or submit your proxy by following the instructions contained in this proxy statement/prospectus and on your proxy card.

If you hold your shares in “street name,” you should instruct your broker, bank or other nominee how to vote in accordance with the voting instruction form you receive from your broker, bank or other nominee.

These items of business are described in the attached proxy statement/prospectus, which we encourage you to read in its entirety before voting. Only holders of record of SVF 3 ordinary shares at the close of business on April 25, 2022 (the “SVF 3 Record Date”) are entitled to notice of the Extraordinary General Meeting and to vote and have their votes counted at the Extraordinary General Meeting and any adjournments or postponements of the Extraordinary General Meeting.
Pursuant to SVF 3’s existing Articles, SVF 3 will provide holders of its Public Shares (as defined herein) with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares (which would become shares of Class A common stock in the Post-Combination Company in the Domestication) for cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount on deposit in SVF 3’s Trust Account (as defined herein), which holds the proceeds of the SVF 3 IPO (as defined herein), as of two business days prior to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Proposal (including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to SVF 3 to pay its taxes). For illustrative purposes, based on funds in the Trust Account of approximately $320.0 million on December 31, 2021, the estimated per share redemption price would have been approximately $10.00, excluding additional interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to SVF 3 to pay its taxes. Public Shareholders (as defined herein) may elect to redeem their shares even if they vote for the Business Combination Proposal. A Public Shareholder, together with any affiliate or any other person with whom he or she is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from seeking redemption rights with respect to more than 15% of the Public Shares without the consent of SVF 3. Accordingly, all Public Shares in excess of 15% held by a Public Shareholder, together with any affiliate of such holder or any other person with whom such holder is acting in concert or as a “group,” will not be redeemed for cash without the consent of SVF 3. SVF Sponsor III (DE) LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”), and SVF 3’s directors and officers have agreed to waive their redemption rights in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination with respect to any ordinary shares they may hold. Currently, the Initial Shareholders (as defined herein) and SVF 3’s directors and officers own 22.3% of SVF 3’s ordinary shares, consisting of the Founder Shares (as defined herein), the Private

Table of Contents
Placement Shares (as defined herein) and 112,500 Public Shares. Founder Shares and Private Placement Shares will be excluded from the pro rata calculation used to determine the
per-share
redemption price. The Sponsor and SVF 3’s directors and officers have agreed to vote any ordinary shares owned by them in favor of each of the proposals presented at the Extraordinary General Meeting.
After careful consideration, SVF 3’s board of directors has determined that the Business Combination Proposal, the Domestication Proposal, the Organizational Documents Proposal, the Governance Proposals, the Director Election Proposal, the Merger Issuance Proposal, the Subscription Agreements Proposal, the Incentive Compensation Plan Proposal, the ESPP Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal are fair to and in the best interests of SVF 3 and its shareholders and unanimously recommends that you vote or give instruction to vote “
FOR
” the Business Combination Proposal, “
FOR
” the Domestication Proposal, “
FOR
” the Organizational Documents Proposal, “
FOR
” the Governance Proposals, “
FOR
” the Director Election Proposal, “
FOR
” the Merger Issuance Proposal, “
FOR
” the Subscription Agreements Proposal, “
FOR
” the Incentive Compensation Plan Proposal, “
FOR
” the ESPP Proposal and “
FOR
” the Adjournment Proposal, if presented.
Consummation of the Business Combination is conditional on approval of each of the Business Combination Proposal, the Domestication Proposal, the Organizational Documents Proposal, the Merger Issuance Proposal, the Subscription Agreements Proposal, the Incentive Compensation Plan Proposal and the ESPP Proposal. If any of these proposals is not approved, the other proposals, except the Adjournment Proposal, will not be presented to shareholders for a vote. The Adjournment Proposal is not conditioned on the approval of any other proposal and may be brought before the Extraordinary General Meeting as the first proposal to be voted on. The proxy statement/prospectus accompanying this notice explains the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, as well as the proposals to be considered at the Extraordinary General Meeting. Please review the proxy statement/prospectus carefully.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE BUSINESS COMBINATION

Q: | WHY AM I RECEIVING THIS DOCUMENT?

A: | SVF 3 shareholders are being asked to consider, and vote upon, certain proposals in connection with the Business Combination and the other matters to be considered at the Extraordinary General Meeting.

The Business Combination cannot be completed unless SVF 3’s shareholders approve the Business Combination Proposal, the Domestication Proposal, the Organizational Documents Proposal, the Merger Issuance Proposal, the Subscription Agreements Proposal, the Incentive Compensation Plan Proposal and the ESPP Proposal (collectively, the “Condition Precedent Proposals”) set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus for their approval. Information about the Extraordinary General Meeting, the Business Combination and the other matters to be considered by shareholders at the Extraordinary General Meeting is contained in this proxy statement/prospectus.
This document constitutes a proxy statement of SVF 3 and a prospectus of SVF 3. It is a proxy statement because the board of directors of SVF 3 is soliciting proxies using this proxy statement/prospectus from its shareholders. It is a prospectus because SVF 3, in connection with the Business Combination, is offering shares of the Post-Combination Company’s common stock that will be issued upon the conversion of the ordinary shares in the Domestication and as the merger consideration. See “
The Merger Agreement—Merger Consideration.
”

Q: | WHAT IS THE BUSINESS COMBINATION?

A: | On December 12, 2021, (a) SVF 3 and Merger Sub, a wholly owned subsidiary of SVF 3, entered into the Merger Agreement with Warehouse and Symbotic Holdings, a wholly owned subsidiary of Warehouse and (b) Warehouse and Symbotic Holdings entered into the Company Merger Agreement. If the Company Merger Agreement, the Merger Agreement, the transactions contemplated thereby and the related matters described herein are adopted by our shareholders and Warehouse’s unitholders, as applicable, (i) Warehouse will merge with and into Symbotic Holdings, with Symbotic Holdings surviving the merger (sometimes referred to as “Interim Symbotic”) and (ii) immediately thereafter, Merger Sub will merge with and into Interim Symbotic, with Interim Symbotic surviving the merger as a subsidiary of the Post-Combination Company. Prior to the consummation of the Merger (the “Closing”), SVF 3 will transfer by way of continuation from the Cayman Islands and domesticate as a Delaware corporation (the “Domestication”). Following the Domestication and simultaneously with the Closing, SVF 3 will change its corporate name to “Symbotic Inc.”

SVF 3 will hold the Extraordinary General Meeting to, among other things, obtain the approvals required for the Business Combination. You are receiving this proxy statement/prospectus in connection with such meeting. See
“The Merger Agreement.
” In addition, a copy of the Merger Agreement is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as

Q: | WHAT WILL WAREHOUSE UNITHOLDERS RECEIVE IN THE COMPANY REORGANIZATION AND THE BUSINESS COMBINATION?

A: | The aggregate consideration to be paid to unitholders of Warehouse in the Business Combination will be based on an Equity Value equal to the sum of (i) $4,500,000,000, plus (ii) the Repurchase Amount, plus (iii) the amount of any cash received or paid by Warehouse on or prior to the Closing in connection with the settlement of any Warehouse warrants currently outstanding (the “Net Warrant Exercise Proceeds”). The Repurchase Amount is an amount equal to (i) $126,000,000 plus (ii) the Net Warrant Exercise Proceeds, provided that the Repurchase Amount shall not exceed $300,000,000 or be less than $0. On December 15, 2021 and May 20, 2022, Walmart consummated the gross exercise of vested warrant units for $173,795,651 and $103,980,327, respectively, and therefore, the Net Warrant Exercise Proceeds and the Repurchase Amount are currently $277,775,979 and $300,000,000, respectively.

If the Company Reorganization is completed, each unit of Warehouse, including the Class A Common Units, the Class C Common Units, the Class B Preferred Units, the
Class B-1
Preferred Units and the
Class B-2
Preferred Units (collectively, the “Warehouse Units”), other than any Warehouse Units that are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Company Reorganization and in respect of which appraisal or dissenters’ rights shall have been perfected and not waived, withdrawn or lost (the “Warehouse Dissenting Units”), will be converted into the right to receive a number of Interim Symbotic Common Units equal to (i) the amount such Warehouse Unit would have been entitled to receive had the Equity Value been distributed in cash pursuant to the Fifth Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of Warehouse, dated as of April 30, 2021 (the “Warehouse LLCA”), divided by (ii) $10.00.
Immediately thereafter, if the Business Combination is completed, each Interim Symbotic Common Unit issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be converted into:

| a) | the right to receive a number of common units of New Symbotic Holdings (the “New Symbotic Holdings Common Units”) (deemed to have a value of $10.00 per unit) equal to the quotient of (subject to rounding): (i) the Equity Value, divided by (ii) $10.00, divided by (iii) the number of Interim Symbotic Common Units issued and outstanding on a fully diluted basis immediately prior to the Effective Time;

| b) | with respect to Interim Symbotic Common Units held by the Richard B. Cohen (the “Symbotic Founder”), certain family members of the Symbotic Founder and certain affiliated entities and trusts of the Symbotic Founder and his family members, the right to receive a number of the Post-Combination Company’s Class V-3 common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, equal to the number of New Symbotic Holdings Common Units received by such party pursuant to the foregoing clause (a);

| c) | with respect to Interim Symbotic Common Units held by holders other than those set forth in the foregoing clause (b), the right to receive a number of the Post-Combination Company’s Class V-1 common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, equal to the number of New Symbotic Holdings Common Units received by such party pursuant to the foregoing clause (a); and

| d) | the contingent right to receive certain Earnout Interests.

Following (but on the date of) the Closing, pursuant to the Unit Purchase Agreement between SVF 3, Warehouse, Symbotic Holdings and certain affiliated entities and trusts of the Symbotic Founder and his family members, the Post-Combination Company will purchase from such affiliated entities and trusts of the Symbotic Founder and his family members an aggregate number of New Symbotic Holdings Common Units equal to the Repurchase Amount, divided by $10.00 (such New Symbotic Holdings Common Units, the “Purchase Units”), in each case, at a price of $10.00 per Purchase Unit in cash (the “Unit Purchase”). For more information, please see “
The Business Combination—Other Agreements—Unit Purchase Agreement
.”

Table of Contents
Based on the number of Warehouse Units outstanding and the number of units of Symbotic Holdings outstanding, in each case as of May 23, 2022, and assuming that, in connection with the Company Reorganization, each holder of Warehouse Units will receive, in exchange for their Warehouse Units, a number of Interim Symbotic Common Units equal to the amount the holder of such Warehouse Units would have been entitled to receive had the Equity Value been distributed in cash pursuant to the distribution waterfall set forth in the Warehouse LLCA, divided by $10.00 (i) the estimated Exchange Ratio of New Symbotic Holdings Common Units for each unit of Symbotic Holdings is 1.0 and (ii) holders of Interim Symbotic Common Units as of immediately prior to the Closing will hold (through their ownership of the Post-Combination Company’s
Class V-1
common stock and
Class V-3
common stock), directly or indirectly, in the aggregate, approximately 85.9% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Post-Combination Company’s common stock immediately following the Closing and the consummation of the Unit Purchase, assuming no redemptions of Public Shares in connection with the Business Combination (“No Redemptions”).

Q: | WHEN DO YOU EXPECT THE BUSINESS COMBINATION TO BE COMPLETED?

A: | It is currently anticipated that the Business Combination will be consummated promptly following the Extraordinary General Meeting, which is set for June 3, 2022; however, such meeting could be adjourned, as described herein. Neither SVF 3 nor Warehouse can assure you of when or if the Business Combination will be completed and it is possible that factors outside of the control of both companies could result in the Business Combination being completed at a different time or not at all. SVF 3 must first obtain the approval of its shareholders for certain of the proposals set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus for their approval, Warehouse must first obtain the written consent of its unitholders for the Business Combination and each of SVF 3 and Warehouse must also satisfy or waive other closing conditions. See “ The Merger Agreement—Conditions to Closing. ”

Q: | WHAT HAPPENS IF THE BUSINESS COMBINATION IS NOT COMPLETED?

A: | If SVF 3 does not complete the Business Combination with Warehouse and Symbotic Holdings for whatever reason, SVF 3 would search for another target business with which to complete a business combination. If SVF 3 does not complete the Business Combination with Warehouse and Symbotic Holdings or a business combination with another target business within the Completion Window, SVF 3 must redeem 100% of the outstanding Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the amount then held in the Trust Account including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to SVF 3 to pay taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses) divided by the number of outstanding Public Shares. The Initial Shareholders have no redemption rights in the event a business combination is not effected in the Completion Window, and, accordingly, their Founder Shares will be worthless. The Private Placement Shares also have no right to participate in any redemption distribution and will be worthless if no business combination is effected by SVF 3 in the Completion Window.

Q: | WHEN AND WHERE IS THE EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING?

A: | The Extraordinary General Meeting will be held at 9:00 a.m. eastern time, on June 3, 2022, in virtual format. SVF 3 shareholders may attend, vote and examine the list of SVF 3 shareholders entitled to vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting by visiting https://www.cstproxy.com/svfc/2022 and entering the control number found on their proxy card, voting instruction form or notice included in their proxy materials.

Q: | WHY IS SVF 3 PROPOSING THE BUSINESS COMBINATION?

A: | SVF 3 was organized to effect a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities.

On March 11, 2021, SVF 3 consummated its initial public offering of 32,000,000 Class A ordinary shares, including 4,000,000 shares issued pursuant to the full exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option, at an offering price of $10.00 per share, and a private placement with SVF Sponsor III (DE) LLC of 1,040,000 private placement shares at a price of $10.00 per share. Since the SVF 3 IPO, SVF 3’s activity has been limited to the evaluation of business combination candidates.
Symbotic’s vision is to make the supply chain work better for everyone. It does this by developing, commercializing, and deploying innovative, end-to-end technology solutions that dramatically improve supply chain operations. Symbotic currently automates the processing of pallets and cases in large warehouses or distribution centers for some of the largest retail companies in the world. Its systems enhance operations at the front end of the supply chain, and therefore benefit all supply partners further down the chain, irrespective of fulfillment strategy. See the section titled “
Information about Symbotic
.”
Based on its due diligence investigations of Symbotic and the industry in which it operates, including the financial and other information provided by Symbotic in the course of their negotiations in connection with the Merger Agreement, SVF 3 believes that the Business Combination with Symbotic is advisable and in the best interests of SVF 3 and its shareholders. See the section titled “
The Business Combination—Recommendation of the SVF 3 Board of Directors and Reasons for the Business Combination.
”

Q: | DID THE SVF 3 BOARD OBTAIN A THIRD-PARTY VALUATION OR FAIRNESS OPINION IN DETERMINING WHETHER OR NOT TO PROCEED WITH THE BUSINESS COMBINATION?

A: | No. The SVF 3 Board did not obtain a third-party valuation or fairness opinion in connection with its determination to approve the Business Combination. The SVF 3 Board believes that based upon the financial skills and background of its directors, it was qualified to conclude that the Business Combination was fair from a financial perspective to its shareholders. The SVF 3 Board also determined, without seeking a valuation from a financial advisor, that Symbotic’s fair market value was equal to at least 80% of the net assets held in SVF 3’s Trust Account, excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on the interest earned on SVF 3’s Trust Account. Accordingly, investors will be relying on the judgment of the SVF 3 Board as described above in valuing Symbotic’s business and assuming the risk that the SVF 3 Board may not have properly valued such business.

Q: | WHAT IS AN “UP-C” STRUCTURE?

A: | Our organizational structure following the Business Combination, as described under the section entitled “ The Business Combination ,” is commonly referred to as an “Up-C” structure, which is often used by partnerships and limited liability companies undertaking an initial public offering to provide certain tax benefits and associated cash flow advantages to both the issuer corporation and the existing owners of the partnership or limited liability company in the initial public offering. The Up-C structure allows current Warehouse unitholders to retain their equity ownership in New Symbotic Holdings, an entity that is classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, in the form of New Symbotic Holdings

xvii

Table of Contents

| Common Units. This allows the holders of New Symbotic Holdings Common Units to retain the tax benefits of owning interests in a pass-through entity while also being able to access public markets. All other investors, including SVF 3 shareholders, will hold their equity ownership in Symbotic Inc., a Delaware corporation that is a domestic corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, in the form of shares of Class A common stock.

The Up-C structure allows future taxable income of New Symbotic Holdings that is allocated to holders of New Symbotic Holdings Common Units (i.e., the current Warehouse unitholders) to be generally taxed on a flow-through basis, and therefore, such income will generally not be subject to corporate taxes at the entity level. Additionally, the holders of New Symbotic Holdings Common Units may exchange their New Symbotic Holdings Common Units for shares of Class A common stock of Symbotic Inc., providing such holders with potential liquidity that is not typically afforded to holders of equity interest in non-publicly traded limited liability companies. Such exchanges are expected to produce favorable tax attributes that Symbotic Inc. may be able to utilize and that would not be available to Symbotic Inc. in the absence of those transactions. Pursuant to the Tax Receivable Agreement (as defined below), the holders of New Symbotic Holdings Common Units that exchange such units for shares of Class A common stock of Symbotic Inc. will generally be entitled to receive 85% of the amount of the cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal and state income tax that Symbotic Inc. realizes (or is deemed to realize in certain circumstances) in periods after the Closing as a result of such favorable tax attributes.
Symbotic Inc. will be a holding company and, immediately after the consummation of the Business Combination, will be the sole manager of New Symbotic Holdings, and its only principal assets will consist of equity interests (or rights to obtain equity interests) in New Symbotic Holdings. Immediately following the closing of the Business Combination:

| • |  | assuming No Redemptions, Symbotic Inc. is expected to own approximately 14.1% of the New Symbotic Holdings Common Units and the current Warehouse unitholders are expected to own approximately 85.9% of the New Symbotic Holdings Common Units; and

| • |  | assuming redemption of 31,887,500 Public Shares (not including 112,500 Class A ordinary shares originally issued in the SVF 3 IPO and purchased by certain directors and officers of SVF 3, which are not subject to redemption in connection with the Business Combination) (“Maximum Redemptions”), Symbotic Inc. is expected to own approximately 8.8% of the New Symbotic Holdings Common Units and the current Warehouse unitholders are expected to own approximately 91.2% of the New Symbotic Holdings Common Units. Although the pro forma amount of cash under the Maximum Redemptions scenario is less than the Minimum Cash Condition, Warehouse and Symbotic Holdings have not elected to waive such condition. Unless Warehouse and Symbotic Holdings elect to waive this condition, the Maximum Redemptions scenario set out in this section cannot occur. A maximum of 31,226,702 Public Shares can be redeemed while still satisfying the Minimum Cash Condition.

Because the holders of New Symbotic Holdings Common Units will hold their economic interests directly in New Symbotic Holdings, rather than through Symbotic Inc., the interests of such holders may conflict with those of the holders of shares of Class A common stock of Symbotic Inc. For example, the holders of New Symbotic Holdings Common Units may have a different tax position from the holders of Class A common stock of Symbotic Inc., which could influence decisions regarding whether and when New Symbotic Holdings should dispose of assets or incur new indebtedness, undergo certain changes of control within the meaning of the Tax Receivable Agreement or terminate the Tax Receivable Agreement. In addition, the structuring of future transactions may take into consideration these tax or other considerations even where no similar benefit would accrue to the holders of shares of Class A common stock of Symbotic Inc. See the section titled “
Risk Factors—Risks Related to SVF 3 and the Business Combination—Because of the Up-C structure, the interests of the holders of New Symbotic Holdings Common Units may not fully align with those of the holders of Class A common stock of Symbotic Inc.
”

Table of Contents

Q: | WHAT IS THE TAX RECEIVABLE AGREEMENT AND WHO WILL RECEIVE THE BENEFIT OF TAX ATTRIBUTES COVERED BY THE TAX RECEIVABLE AGREEMENT?

A: | In connection with the Closing, SVF 3 will enter into a Tax Receivable Agreement (the “Tax Receivable Agreement”) with New Symbotic Holdings and other members of New Symbotic Holdings (the “TRA Holders”). The Tax Receivable Agreement will generally provide for the payment by the Post-Combination Company to the TRA Holders of 85% of the amount of the cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal and state income tax that the Post-Combination Company actually realizes (or is deemed to realize in certain circumstances) in periods after the Closing as a result of (i) the existing tax basis in certain assets of New Symbotic Holdings that is allocable to the relevant New Symbotic Holdings Common Units, (ii) any step-up in tax basis in New Symbotic Holdings’ assets resulting from (a) certain purchases of New Symbotic Holdings Common Units (including the purchases of the Purchase Units pursuant to the Unit Purchase Agreement), (b) future exchanges of New Symbotic Holdings Common Units for cash or shares of the Post-Combination Company’s Class A common stock, (c) certain distributions (if any) by New Symbotic Holdings and (d) payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement, and (iii) tax benefits related to imputed interest deemed to be paid by the Post-Combination Company as a result of payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement.

The Tax Receivable Agreement will generally provide for payments to be made as the Post-Combination Company realizes actual cash tax savings in periods after the Closing from the tax benefits covered by the Tax Receivable Agreement. Moreover, the Tax Receivable Agreement provides that, in the event that (i) the Post-Combination Company exercises its early termination rights under the Tax Receivable Agreement, (ii) the Post-Combination Company experiences certain changes of control or (iii) the Post-Combination Company breaches any of its material obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement, the Post-Combination Company’s obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement may accelerate and the Post-Combination Company could be required to make
a lump-sum cash
payment to each TRA Holder equal to the present value of all future payments that would have otherwise been made under the Tax Receivable Agreement,
which lump-sum payment
would be based on certain assumptions, including those relating to the Post-Combination Company’s future taxable income.
The lump-sum payment
could be substantial and could exceed the actual tax benefits that the Post-Combination Company realizes subsequent to such payment because such payment would be calculated assuming, among other things, that the Post-Combination Company would have certain tax benefits available to it and that the Post-Combination Company would be able to use the potential tax benefits in future years.
See the section titled “
The Business Combination—Other Agreements—Tax Receivable Agreement.
”

Q: | DO I HAVE REDEMPTION RIGHTS?

A: | If you are a Public Shareholder, you have the right to demand that SVF 3 redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the cash held in SVF 3’s Trust Account. SVF 3 sometimes refers to these rights to demand redemption of the Public Shares as “redemption rights.”

A one percent change in the number of Public Shares redeemed assuming No Redemptions, 25% of the Public Shares are redeemed, 50% of the Public Shares are redeemed, 75% of the Public Shares are redeemed and Maximum Redemptions scenarios would result in a change in the book value per share of less than $0.01 in all scenarios.
The level of redemption also impacts the effective deferred underwriting commission per Public Share payable upon the completion of the Business Combination. SVF 3 incurred $11,200,000 in deferred underwriting commissions in connection with the SVF 3 IPO. In a No Redemptions scenario, the effective deferred underwriting commission would be approximately 3.5% of the value of the Public Shares, assuming a trading price of $10.00 per share. In an Intermediate Redemption scenario, the effective deferred underwriting fee would be approximately 7.0% of the value of the Public Shares, assuming a trading price of $10.00 per share. In a Maximum Redemption scenario, the effective deferred underwriting fee is not meaningful when expressed as on a per Public Share or percentage basis.

Table of Contents
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Public Shareholder, together with any affiliate of such holder or any other person with whom such holder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) will be restricted from seeking redemption with respect to more than 15% of the Public Shares without the consent of SVF 3. Accordingly, all Public Shares in excess of 15% held by a Public Shareholder, together with any affiliate of such Public Shareholder or any other person with whom such holder is acting in concert or as a “group,” will not be redeemed without the consent of SVF 3. Warehouse and Symbotic Holdings are not required to consummate the Business Combination if there is not at least $350,000,000 of Closing SVF Cash (as defined in the Merger Agreement).

Q: | WILL HOW I VOTE AFFECT MY ABILITY TO EXERCISE REDEMPTION RIGHTS?

A: | No. You may exercise your redemption rights whether you vote your Public Shares for or against, or whether you abstain from voting on, the Business Combination Proposal or any other proposal described in this proxy statement/prospectus. As a result, the Business Combination Proposal can be approved by shareholders who will redeem their Public Shares and no longer remain shareholders and the Business Combination may be consummated even though the funds available from SVF 3’s Trust Account and the number of Public Shareholders are substantially reduced as a result of redemptions by Public Shareholders. However, Warehouse and Symbotic Holdings are not required to consummate the Business Combination if there is not at least $350,000,000 of Closing SVF Cash. Also, with fewer Public Shares and Public Shareholders, the trading market for the Post-Combination Company’s Class A common stock may be less liquid than the market for Public Shares prior to the Business Combination and SVF 3 may not be able to meet the listing standards of a national securities exchange. See the section titled “ Risk Factors—Risks Related to Ownership of Our Common Stock Following the Business Combination—There can be no assurance that the Post-Combination Company’s securities will be approved for listing on NASDAQ or that the Post-Combination Company will be able to comply with the continued listing standards of NASDAQ. ”

Q: | HOW DO I EXERCISE MY REDEMPTION RIGHTS?

A: | If you are a Public Shareholder and wish to exercise your redemption rights, you must demand that SVF 3 redeem your shares for cash no later than the second business day preceding the vote on the Business Combination Proposal by delivering your share certificates (if any) and other redemption forms to SVF 3’s transfer agent physically or electronically using Depository Trust Company’s DWAC (Deposit and Withdrawal at Custodian) system prior to the vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting. Any Public Shareholder will be entitled to demand that such holder’s shares be redeemed for a full pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account (which, for illustrative purposes, was approximately $320 million, or approximately $10 per Class A ordinary share, as of April 25, 2022, the SVF 3 Record Date). Such amount, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to SVF 3 to pay its taxes, if any, will be paid promptly upon consummation of the Business Combination. However, the proceeds deposited in SVF 3’s Trust Account could become subject to the claims of SVF 3’s creditors, if any, which could have priority over the claims of SVF 3’s Public Shareholders, regardless of whether such Public Shareholders vote for or against the Business Combination Proposal. Therefore, the per-share distribution from the SVF 3 Trust Account in such a situation may be less than originally anticipated due to such claims. Your vote on any proposal will have no impact on the amount you will receive upon exercise of your redemption rights.

Any request for redemption made by a Public Shareholder may not be withdrawn once submitted to SVF 3 unless the board of directors of SVF 3 determines (in its sole discretion) to permit the withdrawal of such redemption request (which it may do in whole or in part). Any corrected or changed proxy card or written demand of redemption rights must be received by SVF 3’s transfer agent prior to the vote taken on the Business Combination Proposal at the Extraordinary General Meeting. No demand for redemption will be honored unless the holder’s share certificates (if any) and other redemption forms have been delivered (either physically or electronically) to the transfer agent prior to the vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting.
xx

Table of Contents
If a Public Shareholder properly makes a request for redemption and the certificates for the Class A ordinary shares (if any) along with the redemption forms are delivered as described to SVF 3’s transfer agent as described herein, then, if the Business Combination is consummated, SVF 3 will redeem these shares for a pro rata portion of funds deposited in the Trust Account. If you exercise your redemption rights, then you will be exchanging your Public Shares for cash.
For a discussion of the material U.S. federal income tax considerations for Public Shareholders with respect to the exercise of these redemption rights, see “
Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences
.”

Q: | WHAT ARE THE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF EXERCISING MY REDEMPTION RIGHTS?

A: | We expect that a U.S. holder (as defined in “ Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences—U.S. Holders ” below) that exercises its redemption rights to receive cash from the Trust Account in exchange for its Public Shares will generally be treated as selling such Public Shares resulting in the recognition of capital gain or capital loss. There may be certain circumstances in which the redemption may be treated as a distribution for U.S. federal income tax purposes depending on the amount of Symbotic Inc. common stock that a U.S. holder owns or is deemed to own. For a more complete discussion of the U.S. federal income tax considerations of an exercise of redemption rights, see “ Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences .”

Additionally, because the Domestication will occur immediately prior to the redemption of U.S. holders that exercise redemption rights, U.S. holders exercising redemption rights will be subject to the potential tax consequences of Section 367 of the Code and the potential tax consequences of the rules applicable to a company treated as a “passive foreign investment company” (“PFIC”), as a result of the Domestication. The tax consequences of exercising redemption rights are discussed more fully below under “
Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences—U.S. Holders—
Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders That Elect to Exercise Redemption Rights.
”

Q: | DO I HAVE APPRAISAL RIGHTS IF I OBJECT TO THE PROPOSED BUSINESS COMBINATION OR THE PROPOSED DOMESTICATION?

A: | No. SVF 3 shareholders do not have appraisal rights in connection with the Business Combination or the Domestication under Cayman Islands law or under the DGCL.

Q: | WHAT HAPPENS TO THE FUNDS DEPOSITED IN THE TRUST ACCOUNT AFTER CONSUMMATION OF THE BUSINESS COMBINATION?

A: | A total of $320,000,000 in net proceeds of the SVF 3 IPO and a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Shares was placed in the Trust Account following the SVF 3 IPO. After consummation of the Business Combination, the funds in the Trust Account will be used to pay holders of the Public Shares who exercise redemption rights, to pay fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Business Combination (including aggregate fees of $11,200,000 as deferred underwriting commissions) and for the Post-Combination Company’s working capital and general corporate purposes.

Q: | HOW DO THE INITIAL SHAREHOLDERS AND SVF 3’S DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS INTEND TO VOTE ON THE PROPOSALS?

A: | The Initial Shareholders of record and SVF 3’s directors and officers are entitled to vote an aggregate of 22.3% of SVF 3’s outstanding ordinary shares. The Initial Shareholders and SVF 3’s directors and officers have agreed to vote the Founder Shares, Private Placement Shares and any Public Shares held by them as of the SVF 3 Record Date in favor of each of the proposals presented at the Extraordinary General Meeting.

Q: | WHAT CONSTITUTES A QUORUM AT THE EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING?

A: | One or more shareholders of SVF 3 holding at least a majority of the paid up voting share capital of SVF and entitled to vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting must be present, in person (which would include presence at a virtual meeting) or represented by proxy, at the Extraordinary General Meeting to constitute a quorum and in order to conduct business at the Extraordinary General Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted as present for the purpose of determining a quorum. The Initial Shareholders and SVF 3’s directors and officers, who currently own 22.3% of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares, will count towards this quorum. In the absence of a quorum, the chairman of the Extraordinary General Meeting has power to adjourn the Extraordinary General Meeting. As of the SVF 3 Record Date for the Extraordinary General Meeting, 20,520,001 ordinary shares would be required to achieve a quorum.

Notwithstanding the approval of the Incentive Compensation Plan Proposal, if the Business Combination is not consummated for any reason, the actions contemplated by the Incentive Compensation Plan Proposal will not be effected.
The ESPP Proposal
:
An ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the votes cast by the shareholders present in person (which would include presence at a virtual meeting) or represented by proxy at the quorate Extraordinary General Meeting and entitled to vote on such matter is required to approve the ESPP Proposal. Accordingly, a shareholder’s failure to vote by

proxy or to vote in person (which would include presence at a virtual meeting) at the quorate Extraordinary General Meeting, as well as an abstention from voting and a broker
non-vote
with regard to the ESPP Proposal, will have no effect on the ESPP Proposal. The Business Combination is conditioned upon the approval of the ESPP Proposal, subject to the terms of the Merger Agreement. Notwithstanding the approval of the ESPP Proposal, if the Business Combination is not consummated for any reason, the actions contemplated by the ESPP Proposal will not be effected.
The Adjournment Proposal
:
An ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the votes cast by the shareholders present in person (which would include presence at a virtual meeting) or represented by proxy at the quorate Extraordinary General Meeting and entitled to vote on such matter is required to approve the Adjournment Proposal. Accordingly, a shareholder’s failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person (which would include presence at a virtual meeting) at the quorate Extraordinary General Meeting, as well as an abstention from voting and a broker
non-vote
with regard to the Adjournment Proposal, will have no effect on the Adjournment Proposal. The Business Combination is not conditioned on the approval of the Adjournment Proposal. The Adjournment Proposal is not conditioned on the approval of any other proposal.
As further discussed in the section entitled “
The Business Combination—Other Agreements—Sponsor Support Agreement,
” the Sponsor and SVF 3’s directors and officers have entered into the Sponsor Support Agreement with SVF 3 pursuant to which the Sponsor and such directors and officers have agreed to vote ordinary shares representing 22.3% of the aggregate voting power of the ordinary shares (comprised of all the outstanding Founder Shares and Private Placement Shares and 112,500 Public Shares) in favor of the each of the proposals presented at the Extraordinary General Meeting, regardless of how Public Shareholders vote. Accordingly, the Sponsor Support Agreement will increase the likelihood that SVF 3 will receive the requisite shareholder approval for the Business Combination and the transactions contemplated thereby. Because a majority of the proposals, including the Business Combination Proposal, require the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the votes cast by the shareholders present in person (which would include presence at a virtual meeting) or represented by proxy at the Extraordinary General Meeting, the affirmative vote of only approximately 3.5% of the outstanding Public Shares, in addition to the Founder Shares, the Private Placement Shares and 112,500 Public Shares held by SVF 3’s directors and officers would be required to approve such proposals if a quorum of only a majority of the shares of SVF 3’s ordinary shares is represented at the Extraordinary General Meeting. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Business Combination is conditioned upon the approval of the Domestication Proposal and the Organizational Documents Proposal. Approval of each of these proposals requires the affirmative vote of at least a
two-thirds
(2/3) majority of the votes cast by the shareholders present in person (which would include presence at a virtual meeting) or represented by proxy at the quorate Extraordinary General Meeting and entitled to vote on such matter. Accordingly, the affirmative vote of approximately 14.1% of the outstanding Public Shares, in addition to the Founder Shares, the Private Placement Shares and 112,500 Public Shares held by SVF 3’s directors and officers would be required to approve the Domestication Proposal and the Organizational Documents Proposal if a quorum of only a majority of the shares of SVF 3’s ordinary shares is represented at the Extraordinary General Meeting.

Q: | WHY IS SVF 3 PROPOSING THE DOMESTICATION?

A: | The Board believes that there are significant advantages that will arise as a result of a change of domicile to Delaware, including (i) the prominence, predictability and flexibility of Delaware law, (ii) Delaware’s well-established principles of corporate governance and (iii) the increased ability for Delaware corporations to attract and retain qualified directors, each of the foregoing as discussed in greater detail in the section entitled “ Proposal No. 2—The Domestication Proposal—Reasons for the Domestication.” The Board believes that any direct benefit that Delaware law provides to a corporation also indirectly benefits shareholders, who are the owners of the corporation. Additionally, the Domestication is required as a condition to consummating the Business Combination.

xxiv

Table of Contents
To effect the Domestication, SVF 3 will file a notice of deregistration by way of continuation with the Cayman Islands Registrar of Companies, together with the necessary accompanying documents, and file a certificate of incorporation and a certificate of corporate domestication with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, under which SVF 3 will be domesticated and continue as a Delaware corporation, at which time SVF 3 will change its name to “Symbotic Inc.”
The approval of the Domestication Proposal is a condition to the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. The approval of the Domestication Proposal requires a special resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of at least a
two-thirds
(2/3) majority of the votes cast by the shareholders present in person (which would include presence at a virtual meeting) or represented by proxy at the quorate Extraordinary General Meeting and entitled to vote on such matter. Abstentions and broker
non-votes,
while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as votes cast at the Extraordinary General Meeting, and otherwise will have no effect on the proposal.

Q: | HOW WILL THE DOMESTICATION AFFECT MY PUBLIC SHARES?

A: | Upon the effectiveness of the Domestication, (a) each outstanding Class A ordinary share will automatically convert into one share of the Post-Combination Company’s Class A common stock, and (b) each outstanding Class B ordinary share will automatically convert into one share of the Post-Combination Company’s Class B common stock, which, upon the Closing, will automatically convert into one share of the Post-Combination Company’s Class A common stock.

Q: | WHAT AMENDMENTS WILL BE MADE TO THE ARTICLES OF SVF 3?

A: | The consummation of the Business Combination is conditioned, among other things, on the Domestication. Accordingly, in addition to voting on the Business Combination, SVF 3 shareholders are also being asked to consider and vote upon a proposal to approve the Domestication and replace SVF 3’s Articles, in each case, under the Cayman Islands Companies Act, with the Proposed Organizational Documents under the DGCL, which differ materially from the SVF 3’s Articles in several respects. See the section titled “ Proposal No. 2—The Domestication Proposal—Comparison of Corporate Governance and Shareholder Rights. ”

Q: | WHAT EQUITY STAKE WILL PUBLIC SHAREHOLDERS AND WAREHOUSE UNITHOLDERS HOLD IN SYMBOTIC INC. AFTER THE CONSUMMATION OF THE BUSINESS COMBINATION?

A: | As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, there are 41,040,000 SVF 3 ordinary shares issued and outstanding, including 8,000,000 SVF 3 Class B ordinary shares, each of which will be converted into one share of Class A common stock in the Post-Combination Company as a result of the Domestication and the Business Combination. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus (without giving effect to the Business Combination and assuming No Redemptions), assuming that each Class B ordinary share is converted into one Class A ordinary share, the SVF 3 fully-diluted stock capital would be 41,040,000 ordinary shares.

As of the date hereof, assuming no additional Warehouse Units are issued, it is anticipated that, upon the completion of the Business Combination and the consummation of the Unit Purchase, the ownership of the
Post-Combination
Company (assuming No Redemptions) will be as follows:

| • |  | current Warehouse unitholders will own 60,844,573 shares of Class V-1 common stock, representing approximately 10.9% of the total common stock outstanding and 416,933,024 shares of Class V-3 common stock, representing approximately 75.0% of the total common stock outstanding;

| • |  | the Subscribers will own 20,500,000 shares of Class A common stock, representing approximately 3.7% of the total common stock outstanding;

xxv

Table of Contents

| • |  | the Forward Purchase Investor will own 20,000,000 shares of Class A common stock, representing approximately 3.6% of the total common stock outstanding;

| • |  | the Public Shareholders will own 32,000,000 shares of Class A common stock, representing approximately 5.8% of the total common stock outstanding; and

| • |  | the Initial Shareholders will own 5,624,000 shares of Class A common stock, representing approximately 1.0% of the total common stock outstanding (including 200,000 shares issuable upon conversion of Working Capital Loans and not including 3,616,000 shares subject to vesting requirements pursuant to the Sponsor Letter Agreement). See “ SVF 3’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources ” and “ The Business Combination—Other Agreements—Sponsor Letter Agreement. ”

As of the date hereof, assuming no additional Warehouse Units are issued, it is anticipated that, upon the completion of the Business Combination and the consummation of the Unit Purchase, the ownership of the
Post-Combination
Company (assuming Maximum Redemptions) will be as follows:

| • |  | current Warehouse unitholders will own 60,844,573 shares of Class V-1 common stock, representing approximately 11.6% of the total common stock outstanding and 416,933,024 shares of Class V-3 common stock, representing approximately 79.6% of the total common stock outstanding;

| • |  | the Subscribers will own 20,500,000 shares of Class A common stock, representing approximately 3.9% of the total common stock outstanding;

| • |  | the Forward Purchase Investor will own 20,000,000 shares of Class A common stock, representing approximately 3.8% of the total common stock outstanding;

| • |  | the Public Shareholders will own 112,500 shares of Class A common stock, representing less than 1.0% of the total common stock outstanding; and

| • |  | the Initial Shareholders will own 5,624,000 shares of Class A common stock, representing approximately 1.1% of the total common stock outstanding (including 200,000 shares issuable upon conversion of Working Capital Loans and not including 3,616,000 shares subject to vesting requirements pursuant to the Sponsor Letter Agreement). See “ SVF 3’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources ” and “ The Business Combination—Other Agreements—Sponsor Letter Agreement. ”

The numbers of shares and percentage interests set forth above are based on a number of assumptions, including that Warehouse does not issue any additional equity securities prior to the Business Combination, no Earnout Interests are issued and the Forward Purchase Investor will purchase a total of 20,000,000 Forward Purchase Shares (as defined herein) pursuant to the Forward Purchase Agreement. If the actual facts differ from our assumptions, the numbers of shares and percentage interests set forth above will be different. In addition, the numbers of shares and percentage interests set forth above do not take into account units issuable upon the exercise of securities exercisable for Warehouse Units or units of Symbotic Holdings. Although the pro forma amount of cash under the Maximum Redemptions scenario is less than the Minimum Cash Condition, Warehouse and Symbotic Holdings have not elected to waive such condition. Unless Warehouse and Symbotic Holdings elect to waive this condition, the Maximum Redemptions scenario set out in this section cannot occur.
See the section titled “
Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information
” for further information.

Q: | WHAT ARE THE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE DOMESTICATION?

A: | As discussed more fully under “ Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences ” below, the Domestication should qualify as a tax-free reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a)(l)(F) of the

xxvi

Table of Contents

| Code. However, due to the absence of direct guidance on the application of Section 368(a)(1)(F) to a statutory conversion of a corporation holding only investment-type assets such as SVF 3, this result is not entirely clear. Assuming that the Domestication so qualifies, U.S. holders (as defined in “ Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences—U.S. Holders ” below) of SVF 3 ordinary shares will be subject to Section 367(b) of the Code and, as a result:

| • |  | A U.S. holder of SVF 3 ordinary shares whose SVF 3 ordinary shares have a fair market value of less than $50,000 at the time of the Domestication should not recognize any gain or loss and generally should not be required to include any part of SVF 3’s earnings in income;

| • |  | A U.S. holder of SVF 3 ordinary shares whose SVF 3 ordinary shares have a fair market value of $50,000 or more on the date of the Domestication, but who at the time of the Domestication owns (actually and constructively) less than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of SVF 3 ordinary shares entitled to vote and less than 10% of the total value of all classes of SVF 3 ordinary shares, will generally recognize gain (but not loss) as a result of the Domestication. As an alternative to recognizing gain, such U.S. holders may file an election to include in income as a dividend earnings and profits (as defined in the U.S. Treasury regulations (“Treasury Regulations”) under Section 367 of the Code) attributable to its SVF 3 ordinary shares provided certain other requirements are satisfied. SVF 3 does not expect that SVF 3’s cumulative earnings and profits will be material at the time of the Domestication.

| • |  | A U.S. holder of SVF 3 ordinary shares who at the time of the Domestication owns (actually and constructively) 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of SVF 3 ordinary shares or 10% of the total value of all classes of SVF 3 shares entitled to vote will generally be required to include in income as a dividend earnings and profits (as defined in the Treasury Regulations under Section 367 of the Code) attributable to its SVF 3 ordinary shares. SVF 3 does not expect that SVF 3’s cumulative earnings and profits will be material at the time of Domestication.

As discussed further under “
Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences
” below, SVF 3 believes that it is likely classified as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In the event that SVF 3 is considered a PFIC then, in lieu of the foregoing U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Domestication, proposed Treasury Regulations under Section 1291(f) of the Code (which have a retroactive effective date), if finalized in their current form, generally would require a U.S. holder to recognize gain as a result of the Domestication. Any such gain would be taxed as ordinary income and an interest charge would apply based on a complex set of rules. However, it is difficult to predict whether, in what form, and with what effective date, final Treasury Regulations under Section 1291(f) of the Code will be adopted. Importantly, however, U.S. holders that make or have made certain elections discussed further under “
Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences—U.S. Holders—PFIC Considerations
” with respect to their SVF 3 ordinary shares are generally not subject to the same gain recognition rules under the currently proposed Treasury Regulations under Section 1291(f) of the Code. For a more complete discussion of the potential application of the PFIC rules to U.S. holders as a result of the Domestication, see “
Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences—U.S. Holders—PFIC Considerations
.”
Additionally, the Domestication may cause
non-U.S.
holders (as defined in “
Material U.S. Federal Income Tax
Consequences—Non-U.S.
Holders
” below) to become subject to U.S. federal income withholding taxes on any dividends in respect of such
non-U.S.
holder’s Symbotic Inc.’s common stock subsequent to the Domestication.
The tax consequences of the Domestication are complex and will depend on a holder’s particular circumstances. All holders are strongly urged to consult their tax advisor for a full description and understanding of the tax consequences of the Domestication, including the applicability and effect of U.S. federal, state, local and foreign income and other tax laws.
For general information on the material U.S. Federal Income Tax consequences of the Domestication to holders of SVF 3 ordinary shares, see the section titled “
Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences

Q: | DO ANY OF SVF 3’S DIRECTORS OR OFFICERS HAVE INTERESTS IN THE BUSINESS COMBINATION THAT MAY DIFFER FROM OR BE IN ADDITION TO THE INTERESTS OF SVF 3 SHAREHOLDERS?

A: | Certain of SVF 3’s executive officers and certain non-employee directors may have interests in the Business Combination that may be different from, or in addition to, the interests of SVF 3 shareholders generally. The SVF 3 Board was aware of and considered these interests to the extent such interests existed at the time, among other matters, in approving the Merger Agreement and in recommending that the Business Combination be approved by the shareholders of SVF 3. These interests include, among other things, the interests listed below:

| • |  | The Articles provide that SVF 3 renounce its interest or expectancy in any corporate opportunity about which any director or officer of SVF 3 acquires knowledge unless such opportunity is expressly offered to such person solely in his or her capacity as SVF 3’s director or officer and such opportunity is one that the Company is able to complete on a reasonable basis. Certain of SVF 3’s officers and directors have, and any of them in the future may have additional, fiduciary or contractual obligations to other entities that are sponsored by affiliates of the Sponsor. SVF 3 does not believe, however, that such pre-existing fiduciary duties or contractual obligations of its officers and directors materially affected its search for an acquisition target.

| • |  | If the Business Combination with Symbotic or another business combination is not consummated within the Completion Window, SVF 3 will cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, redeeming 100% of the outstanding Public Shares for cash and, subject to the approval of its remaining shareholders and the SVF 3 Board, dissolving and liquidating. In such event, the 8,000,000 Founder Shares held by SVF 3’s Initial Shareholders which were acquired for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000 prior to the SVF 3 IPO, would be worthless because SVF 3’s Initial Shareholders are not entitled to participate in any redemption or distribution with respect to such shares. Such Founder Shares had an aggregate market value of $ based upon the closing price of $ per Class A ordinary share on NASDAQ on , 2022, the SVF 3 Record Date. Certain Founder Shares are subject to certain performance-based vesting provisions as described under “ The Business Combination —Other Agreements—Sponsor Letter Agreement. ”

| • |  | Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, SVF 3 consummated a private sale of 1,040,000 Class A ordinary shares (the “Private Placement”) at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Share to our Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of approximately $10,400,000. If we do not consummate a business combination transaction within the Completion Window, then the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Shares will be part of the liquidating distribution to the Public Shareholders and the Private Placement Shares held by the Sponsor will be worthless.

| • |  | If SVF 3 is unable to complete a business combination within the Completion Window, its officers will be personally liable under certain circumstances described herein to ensure that the proceeds in the Trust Account are not reduced by the claims of target businesses or claims of vendors or other entities that are owed money by SVF 3 for services rendered or contracted for or products sold to SVF 3. If SVF 3 consummates a business combination, on the other hand, SVF 3 will be liable for all such claims.

| • |  | SVF 3’s directors and officers and their affiliates are entitled to reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection with certain activities on SVF 3’s behalf, such as identifying and investigating possible business targets and business combinations. However, if SVF 3 fails to consummate a business combination within the Completion Window, they will not have any claim against the Trust Account for such reimbursement. Accordingly, SVF 3 may not be able to reimburse these expenses if the Business Combination or another business combination is not consummated within the Completion Window.

| • |  | The continued indemnification of current directors and officers and the continuation of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance.

xxviii

Table of Contents

| • |  | Our Sponsor, officers and directors collectively (including entities controlled by officers and directors) have made an aggregate investment of $11,550,000, or $1.26 per SVF 3 ordinary share (including the 8,000,000 Founder Shares, the 1,040,000 Private Placement Shares and the purchase of 112,500 Public Shares in connection with the SVF 3 IPO). Such shares had an aggregate market value of $90,701,275 based upon the closing price of $9.91 per Class A ordinary share on NASDAQ on April 25, 2022, the SVF 3 Record Date (of which 150,000 Founder Shares and 112,500 Public Shares were held by our directors and officers, which had an aggregate market value of $2,601,375 based upon the closing price of $9.91 per Class A ordinary share on NASDAQ on April 25, 2022, the SVF 3 Record Date). As a result of the significantly lower investment per share of our Sponsor, directors and officers as compared with the investment per share of our Public Shareholders, a transaction which results in an increase in the value of the investment of our Sponsor, directors and officers may result in a decrease in the value of the investment of our Public Shareholders. These interests could, in theory, incentivize our Sponsor, directors and officers to complete a business combination with a less favorable target company or on terms less favorable to stockholders rather than liquidate.

| • |  | There will be no liquidating distributions from our Trust Account with respect to the Founder Shares or the Private Placement Shares if we fail to complete a business combination within the Completion Window. Our Sponsor purchased the Founder Shares prior to the SVF 3 IPO for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000, and transferred 50,000 Founder Shares to each of Michael Carpenter, Michael Tobin and Cristiana Falcone for aggregate consideration of $300.

| • |  | Following the Closing, the Sponsor would be entitled to the repayment of any Working Capital Loans and advances that have been made to SVF 3 and remain outstanding. On August 10, 2021, the Sponsor agreed to loan SVF 3 $2.0 million as a Working Capital Loan. On November 9, 2021, the Sponsor and SVF 3 agreed to amend this loan to increase the commitment by $1.0 million. If SVF 3 does not complete an initial business combination within the Completion Window, SVF 3 may use a portion of its working capital 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. Up to $2,000,000 of such loans may be convertible into Class A ordinary shares of the post-business combination entity at a price of $10.00 per share at the option of the lender.

| • |  | Our Initial Shareholders and our directors and officers have agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their Founders Shares and will not have rights to liquidating distributions with respect to their Private Placement Shares if SVF 3 fails to complete a business combination within the Completion Window.

| • |  | As of October 31, 2021, Walmart, Symbotic’s largest customer, holds a majority of the outstanding equity interests of Flipkart Internet Pvt Ltd, a company in which SoftBank Vision Fund II, an affiliate of SBIA, holds a minority interest.

| • |  | In order to protect the amounts held in our Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to us if and to the extent any claims by a vendor for services rendered or products sold to us, or a prospective target business with which we have entered into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in our Trust Account. This liability will not apply with respect to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in SVF 3’s Trust Account or to any claims under our indemnity of the underwriters of the offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

In addition, if we are able to complete a business combination within the Completion Window, our Initial Stockholders may receive a positive return on the 8,000,000 Founder Shares, which were acquired by our Sponsor for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000 prior to the SVF 3 IPO, and the 1,040,000 Private Placement Shares, which were acquired for an aggregate purchase price of $10,400,000 with the completion of the SVF 3 IPO, even if our Public Shareholders experience a negative return on their investment in our Class A ordinary shares after consummation of the Business Combination. However, if we are unable to complete our initial business combination within the Completion Window, our Sponsor may lose their

investment of $13,424,700 made in respect of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Shares and Working Capital Loans.
The SVF 3 board of directors and the audit committee thereof was aware of and considered these interests, among other matters, in reaching the determination to approve the terms of the Business Combination and in recommending to SVF 3’s shareholders that they vote to approve the Business Combination. See “
The Business Combination—Interests of SVF 3’s Directors and Officers in the Business Combination.
”

Q: | WHAT DO I NEED TO DO NOW?

A: | SVF 3 urges you to read carefully and consider the information contained in this proxy statement/prospectus, including the Annexes and the other documents referred to herein, and to consider how the Business Combination will affect you as a shareholder. Shareholders should then vote as soon as possible in accordance with the instructions provided in this proxy statement/prospectus and on the enclosed proxy card.

Q: | HOW DO I VOTE?

A: | If you are a holder of record of SVF 3 ordinary shares on the SVF 3 Record Date, you may vote in person (which would include presence at a virtual meeting) at the Extraordinary General Meeting or by submitting a proxy for the Extraordinary General Meeting. You may submit your proxy by completing, signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy card in the accompanying pre-addressed postage paid envelope. If you hold your shares in “street name,” which means your shares are held of record by a broker, bank or nominee, you should contact your broker to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted. In this regard, you must provide the broker, bank or nominee with instructions on how to vote your shares or, if you wish to attend the meeting and vote in person (which would include presence at a virtual meeting), obtain a proxy from your broker, bank or nominee.

Q: | IF MY SHARES ARE HELD IN “STREET NAME” BY A BROKER, BANK OR OTHER NOMINEE, WILL MY BROKER, BANK OR OTHER NOMINEE VOTE MY SHARES FOR ME?

A: | If your shares are held in “street name” in a stock brokerage account or by a broker, bank or other nominee, you must provide the record holder of your shares with instructions on how to vote your shares. Please follow the voting instructions provided by your broker, bank or other nominee. Please note that you may not vote shares held in “street name” by returning a proxy card directly to SVF 3 or by voting in person (which would include presence at a virtual meeting) at the Extraordinary General Meeting unless you provide a “legal proxy,” which you must obtain from your broker, bank or other nominee.

Under the rules of NASDAQ, brokers who hold shares in “street name” for a beneficial owner of those shares typically have the authority to vote in their discretion on “routine” proposals when they have not received instructions from beneficial owners. However, brokers are not permitted to exercise their voting discretion with respect to the approval of matters that NASDAQ determines to be
“non-routine”
without specific instructions from the beneficial owner. It is expected that all proposals to be voted on at the Extraordinary General Meeting are
“non-routine”
matters. Broker
non-votes
occur when a broker or nominee is not instructed by the beneficial owner of shares to vote on a particular proposal for which the broker does not have discretionary voting power.
If you are a SVF 3 shareholder holding your shares in “street name” and you do not instruct your broker, bank or other nominee on how to vote your shares, your broker, bank or other nominee will not vote your shares on the Business Combination Proposal, the Domestication Proposal, the Organizational Documents Proposal, the Governance Proposals, the Director Election Proposal, the Merger Issuance Proposal, the Subscription Agreements Proposal, the Incentive Compensation Plan Proposal, the ESPP Proposal or the Adjournment Proposal. Such broker
non-votes
will have no effect on the vote count for any of the proposals.

Table of Contents

Q: | WHAT IF I ATTEND THE EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING AND ABSTAIN OR DO NOT VOTE?

A: | For purposes of the Extraordinary General Meeting, an abstention occurs when a shareholder attends the meeting in person (which would include presence at a virtual meeting) and does not vote or returns a proxy with an “abstain” vote.

If you are a SVF 3 shareholder that attends the Extraordinary General Meeting in person (which would include presence at a virtual meeting) and fails to vote on the Business Combination Proposal, the Domestication Proposal, the Organizational Documents Proposal, the Governance Proposals, the Director Election Proposal, the Merger Issuance Proposal, the Subscription Agreements Proposal, the Incentive Compensation Plan Proposal, the ESPP Proposal or the Adjournment Proposal, or if you respond to such proposals with an “abstain” vote, your failure to vote or “abstain” vote in each case will have no effect on the vote count for such proposals.

Q: | WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF I RETURN MY PROXY CARD WITHOUT INDICATING HOW TO VOTE?

A: | If you sign and return your proxy card without indicating how to vote on any particular proposal, the ordinary shares represented by your proxy will be voted as recommended by the SVF 3 Board with respect to that proposal.

After careful consideration, SVF 3’s board of directors has determined that the Business Combination Proposal, the Domestication Proposal, the Organizational Documents Proposal, the Governance Proposals, the Director Election Proposal, the Merger Issuance Proposal, the Subscription Agreements Proposal, the Incentive Compensation Plan Proposal, the ESPP Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal are fair to and in the best interests of SVF 3 and its shareholders and unanimously recommends that you vote or give instruction to vote “
FOR
” the Business Combination Proposal, “
FOR
” the Domestication Proposal, “
FOR
” the Organizational Documents Proposal, “
FOR
” the Governance Proposals, “
FOR
” the Director Election Proposal, “
FOR
” the Merger Issuance Proposal, “
FOR
” the Subscription Agreements Proposal, “
FOR
” the Incentive Compensation Plan Proposal, “
FOR
” the ESPP Proposal and “
FOR
” the Adjournment Proposal, if presented.
As a result, if you return your proxy card without an indication of how you wish to vote, your shares will be voted in favor of each of the proposals.

Q: | MAY I CHANGE MY VOTE AFTER I HAVE MAILED MY SIGNED PROXY CARD?

A: | Yes. Shareholders may send a later-dated, signed proxy card to SVF 3’s transfer agent at the address set forth at the end of this section so that it is received prior to the vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting or attend the Extraordinary General Meeting in person (which would include presence at a virtual meeting) and vote. Shareholders also may revoke their proxy by sending a notice of revocation to SVF 3’s transfer agent, which must be received prior to the vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting.

Q: | WHAT HAPPENS IF I FAIL TO TAKE ANY ACTION WITH RESPECT TO THE EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING?

A: | If you fail to take any action with respect to the Extraordinary General Meeting and the Business Combination is approved by shareholders and consummated, you will become a stockholder of the Post-Combination Company. Failure to take any action with respect to the Extraordinary General Meeting will not affect your ability to exercise your redemption rights. If you fail to take any action with respect to the Extraordinary General Meeting and the Business Combination is not approved, you will continue to be a shareholder of SVF 3.

Table of Contents

Q: | WHAT SHOULD I DO IF I RECEIVE MORE THAN ONE SET OF VOTING MATERIALS?

A: | Shareholders may receive more than one set of voting materials, including multiple copies of this proxy statement/prospectus and multiple proxy cards or voting instruction cards. For example, if you hold your shares in more than one brokerage account, you will receive a separate voting instruction card for each brokerage account in which you hold shares. If you are a holder of record and your shares are registered in more than one name, you will receive more than one proxy card. Please complete, sign, date and return each proxy card and voting instruction card that you receive in order to cast a vote with respect to all of your SVF 3 shares.

Q: | WHO CAN HELP ANSWER MY QUESTIONS?

SUMMARY
This summary highlights selected information included in this proxy statement/prospectus and does not contain all of the information that may be important to you. You should read this entire document and its annexes and the other documents to which we refer before you decide how to vote. Each item in this summary includes a page reference directing you to a more complete description of that item
.
The Business Combination and the Merger Agreement (pages 228 and 262)
The terms and conditions of the Business Combination are contained in the Merger Agreement, which is attached as
Annex
A
to this proxy statement/prospectus. We encourage you to read the Merger Agreement carefully, as it is the legal document that governs the Business Combination.
If the Merger Agreement is approved and adopted and the Business Combination is subsequently completed, (i) Warehouse will merge with and into Symbotic Holdings, with Symbotic Holdings surviving the merger, (ii) immediately thereafter, Merger Sub will merge with and into Interim Symbotic, with Interim Symbotic surviving the merger as a subsidiary of the Post-Combination Company. Prior to Closing, SVF 3 will transfer by way of continuation from the Cayman Islands and domesticate as a Delaware corporation. Following the Domestication and simultaneously with the Closing, SVF 3 will change its corporate name to “Symbotic Inc.”
The organizational structure following the Business Combination will be what is commonly referred to as an
“Up-C”
structure, which is often used by partnerships and limited liability companies (such as Warehouse) undertaking an initial public offering to provide certain tax benefits and associated cash flow advantages to both the issuer corporation and the existing owners of the partnership or limited liability company in the initial public offering. The
Up-C
structure allows holders of Warehouse to retain their direct equity ownership in New Symbotic Holdings, an entity that is classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, in the form of New Symbotic Holdings Common Units following the Business Combination. This allows the holders of New Symbotic Holdings Common Units to retain the tax benefits of owning interests in a pass-through entity while also being able to access public markets. All other investors, including the current SVF 3 shareholders, will hold their equity ownership in Symbotic Inc., a Delaware corporation that is a domestic corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, in the form of shares of Class A common stock.
Because the holders of New Symbotic Holdings Common Units will hold their economic interests directly in New Symbotic Holdings, rather than through Symbotic Inc., the interests of such holders may conflict with those of the holders of shares of Class A common stock of Symbotic Inc. For example, the holders of New Symbotic Holdings Common Units may have a different tax position from the holders of Class A common stock of Symbotic Inc., which could influence decisions regarding whether and when New Symbotic Holdings should dispose of assets or incur new indebtedness, undergo certain changes of control within the meaning of the Tax Receivable Agreement or terminate the Tax Receivable Agreement. In addition, the structuring of future transactions may take into consideration these tax or other considerations even where no similar benefit would accrue to the holders of shares of Class A common stock of Symbotic Inc.
The following diagrams illustrate in simplified terms the expected organizational structure of the Post-Combination Company immediately following the closing of the Business Combination, both under the No Redemption and Maximum Redemption scenarios:

The Post-Combination Company immediately following the closing of the Business Combination (No Redemption scenario)
As of the date hereof, assuming no additional Warehouse Units are issued, it is anticipated that, upon the completion of the Business Combination and the consummation of the Unit Purchase, the ownership of the Post-Combination Company (assuming No Redemptions) will be as follows:

| • |  | current Warehouse unitholders will own 60,844,573 shares of Class V-1 common stock, representing approximately 10.9% of the total common stock outstanding and 416,933,024 shares of Class V-3 common stock, representing approximately 75.0% of the total common stock outstanding;

| • |  | the Subscribers will own 20,500,000 shares of Class A common stock, representing approximately 3.7% of the total common stock outstanding;

| • |  | the Forward Purchase Investor will own 20,000,000 shares of Class A common stock, representing approximately 3.6% of the total common stock outstanding;

| • |  | the Public Shareholders will own 32,000,000 shares of Class A common stock, representing approximately 5.8% of the total common stock outstanding; and

| • |  | the Initial Shareholders will own 5,624,000 shares of Class A common stock, representing approximately 1.0% of the total common stock outstanding (including 200,000 shares issuable upon conversion of Working Capital Loans and not including 3,616,000 shares subject to vesting requirements pursuant to the Sponsor Letter Agreement).

The Post-Combination Company immediately following the closing of the Business Combination (Maximum Redemption scenario)
As of the date hereof, assuming no additional Warehouse Units are issued, it is anticipated that, upon the completion of the Business Combination and the consummation of the Unit Purchase, the ownership of the Post-Combination Company, assuming Maximum Redemptions, will be as follows:

| • |  | current Warehouse unitholders will own 60,844,573 shares of Class V-1 common stock, representing approximately 11.6% of the total common stock outstanding and 416,933,024 shares of Class V-3 common stock, representing approximately 79.6% of the total common stock outstanding;

| • |  | the Subscribers will own 20,500,000 shares of Class A common stock, representing approximately 3.9% of the total common stock outstanding;

| • |  | the Forward Purchase Investor will own 20,000,000 shares of Class A common stock, representing approximately 3.8% of the total common stock outstanding;

| • |  | the Public Shareholders will own 112,500 shares of Class A common stock, representing less than 1.0% of the total common stock outstanding; and

Table of Contents

| • |  | the Initial Shareholders will own 5,624,000 shares of Class A common stock, representing approximately 1.1% of the total common stock outstanding (including 200,000 shares issuable upon conversion of Working Capital Loans and not including 3,616,000 shares subject to vesting requirements pursuant to the Sponsor Letter Agreement). See “ SVF 3’s Management’s Discussion and An a l ysis of Financi a l Condition and R esults of Ope r a tio n s — Liquidity and Capital Resources ” and “ The Business Combination —Other Agreements—Sponsor Letter Agreement . ”

The numbers of shares and percentage interests set forth above are based on a number of assumptions, including that Warehouse does not issue any additional equity securities prior to the Business Combination, no Earnout Interests are issued and the Forward Purchase Investor will purchase a total of 20,000,000 Forward Purchase Shares pursuant to the Forward Purchase Agreement. If the actual facts differ from our assumptions, the numbers of shares and percentage interests set forth above will be different. In addition, the numbers of shares and percentage interests set forth above do not take into account units issuable upon the exercise of securities exercisable for Warehouse Units or units of Symbotic Holdings. Although the pro forma amount of cash under the Maximum Redemptions scenario is less than the Minimum Cash Condition, Warehouse and Symbotic Holdings have not elected to waive such condition. Unless Warehouse and Symbotic Holdings elect to waive this condition, the Maximum Redemptions scenario set out in this section cannot occur.
Transaction Summary
Below is a
step-by-step
list illustrating the material events relating to the Company Reorganization and Business Combination. Each of these events, as well as any conditions to their consummation, is discussed in more detail elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

| • |  | Step 1— Company Reorganization —Warehouse will merge with and into Symbotic Holdings, with Symbotic Holdings surviving the merger as Interim Symbotic.

| • |  | Step 2— Domestication —SVF 3 will transfer by way of continuation from the Cayman Islands and domesticate as a Delaware corporation.

| • |  | Step 3— PIPE Investment —The Subscribers will purchase an aggregate of 20,500,000 shares of Class A common stock at a purchase price of $10.00 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $205,000,000.

| • |  | Step 4— Forward Purchase —The Forward Purchase Investor will purchase 20,000,000 shares of Class A common stock at a purchase price of $10.00 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $200,000,000.

| • |  | Step 5— Merger —Merger Sub will merge with and into Interim Symbotic, with Interim Symbotic surviving the merger as a subsidiary of the Post-Combination Company.

| • |  | Step 6— Unit Purchase —The Post-Combination Company will purchase from affiliated entities and trusts of the Symbotic Founder and his family members an aggregate number of New Symbotic Holdings Common Units equal to the Repurchase Amount divided by $10.00.

Merger Consideration (page 262)
The aggregate consideration to be paid to unitholders of Warehouse in the Business Combination will be based on an Equity Value equal to the sum of (i) $4,500,000,000,
plus
(ii) the Repurchase Amount, which amount is currently $300,000,000,
plus
(iii) the Net Warrant Exercise Proceeds, which amount is currently $277,775,979.
Pursuant to the terms of the Company Merger Agreement, upon the effectiveness of the Company Reorganization, holders of each outstanding Warehouse Unit, other than any Warehouse Dissenting Units, will
4

Table of Contents
be entitled to receive a number of Interim Symbotic Common Units equal to (i) the amount such holder would have been entitled to receive had the Equity Value been distributed in cash pursuant to the Warehouse LLCA, divided by
(ii) $10.00.
Following the Business Combination, consistent with the Up-C structure, current Warehouse unitholders will hold their economic interests directly in New Symbotic Holdings. All other investors, including SVF 3 shareholders, will hold their economic interests through Symbotic Inc. Current Warehouse unitholders will also hold voting interests in Symbotic Inc. in the form of voting stock with no economic rights (including rights to dividends and distributions upon liquidation). Pursuant to the terms of the Proposed Charter, the number of shares of voting stock held by any unitholder must always equal the number of New Symbotic Holdings Common Units held by such holder. See “
Questions and Answers—Questions and Answers about the Business Combination—What is an “Up-C” Structure?
”
Accordingly, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, immediately after the consummation of the Company Reorganization, at the Effective Time, holders of each outstanding Interim Symbotic Common Unit will be entitled to receive a number of New Symbotic Holdings Common Units equal to the quotient (the “Exchange Ratio”) of (subject to rounding): (i) the Equity Value, divided by (ii) $10.00, divided by (iii) the number of Interim Symbotic Common Units issued and outstanding on a fully diluted basis immediately prior to the Effective Time. Based on the number of Warehouse Units outstanding and the number of units of Symbotic Holdings outstanding, in each case as of May 23, 2022, and assuming that, in connection with the Company Reorganization, each holder of Warehouse Units will receive, in exchange for their Warehouse Units, a number of Interim Symbotic Common Units equal to the amount the holder of such Warehouse Units would have been entitled to receive had the Equity Value been distributed in cash pursuant to the distribution waterfall set forth in the Warehouse LLCA, divided by $10.00, the estimated Exchange Ratio of New Symbotic Holdings Common Units for each Interim Symbotic Common Unit is 1.0 as of May 23, 2022. The Symbotic Founder, certain family members of the Symbotic Founder and certain affiliated entities and trusts of the Symbotic Founder and his family members will also receive a number of shares of the Post-Combination Company’s
Class V-3
common stock, which has three votes per share, equal to the number of New Symbotic Holdings Common Units received by such holder, in exchange for payment by such holder to the Post-Combination Company of adequate consideration (in each case, not to exceed $0.00015 per share of the Post-Combination Company’s
Class V-3
common stock). Because the Class V-3 common stock will have three votes per share, the Symbotic Founder and certain affiliated entities and trusts of the Symbotic Founder and his family members, in the aggregate, will control 90.0% of the combined voting power of the outstanding common stock of Symbotic Inc. following the Closing. The other holders of Interim Symbotic Common Units will receive a number of shares of the Post-Combination Company’s
Class V-1
common stock, which has one vote per share (i.e., the same voting rights as Class A common stock), equal to the number of New Symbotic Holdings Common Units received by such holder, in exchange for payment by such holder to the Post-Combination Company of adequate consideration (in each case, not to exceed $0.0001 per share of the Post-Combination Company’s
Class V-1
common stock). Other than the number of votes per share, there will be no difference between the Post-Combination Company’s Class V-3 common stock and Class V-1 common stock.
The Post-Combination Company’s
Class V-3
common stock will automatically convert into the Post-Combination Company’s
Class V-1
common stock upon the earliest to occur of: (i) the first business day following seven years after the date on which the Proposed Charter becomes effective, (ii) the third business day following the approval of such conversion by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the then-outstanding shares of Class V-3 common stock entitled to vote thereon or (iii) the first business day following such time as the outstanding shares of Class V-3 common stock constitute less than five percent of the aggregate number of shares of the Post-Combination Company’s common stock then outstanding. Each share of the Post-Combination Company’s Class V-3 common stock may also be converted into one share of the Post-Combination Company’s Class V-1 common stock at the option of the holder thereof.

Table of Contents
Each New Symbotic Holdings Common Unit may be redeemed by the holder thereof for shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Post-Combination Company (or an equivalent amount in cash, at the option of the Post-Combination Company, subject to the provisions of the New Symbotic Holdings LLC Agreement) at a value equal to the arithmetic mean of the volume-weighted average price of a share of the Post-Combination Company’s Class A common stock for the full five trading days immediately prior to the date of delivery of the applicable redemption notice, subject to certain exceptions. Upon such redemption, a number of the redeeming holder’s shares of the Post-Combination Company’s
Class V-3
common stock or
Class V-1
common stock, as applicable, equal to the number of the redeemed New Symbotic Holdings Common Units, will be transferred to the Post-Combination Company and cancelled by the Post-Combination Company.
Earnout
The holders of outstanding New Symbotic Holdings Common Units as of the Effective Time will also have contingent rights to receive up to an aggregate of 20,000,000 New Symbotic Holdings Common Units and an equal number of shares of the Post-Combination Company’s
Class V-1
common stock (or such other shares or other securities into which such New Symbotic Holdings Common Units and/or the Post-Combination Company’s
Class V-1
common stock are converted, exchanged, reclassified or otherwise changed, as the case may be, from time to time) (collectively, the “Earnout Interests”). Each holder of New Symbotic Holdings Common Units will be entitled to receive their pro rata share of the Earnout Interests in three tranches upon the occurrence of the following milestones on or prior to the seventh anniversary of the Closing: (i) a
one-time
issuance of 6,666,667 Earnout Interests on the first date on which the volume weighted average price of shares of the Post-Combination Company’s Class A common stock over any 20 trading days within the preceding 30 consecutive trading day period (the “Earnout VWAP Price”) is greater than or equal to $12.00 (“Triggering Event I”); (ii) a
one-time
issuance of 6,666,667 Earnout Interests on the first date on which the Earnout VWAP Price is greater than or equal to $14.00 (“Triggering Event II”); and (iii) a
one-time
issuance of 6,666,666 Earnout Interests on the first date on which the Earnout VWAP Price is greater than or equal to $16.00 (“Triggering Event III”).
Ownership of the
Post-Combination
Company (page 165)
As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, there are 41,040,000 SVF 3 ordinary shares issued and outstanding, including 8,000,000 SVF 3 Class B ordinary shares, each of which will be converted into one share of Class A common stock in the Post-Combination Company as a result of the Domestication and the Business Combination. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus (without giving effect to the Business Combination and assuming No Redemptions), assuming that each Class B ordinary share is converted into one Class A ordinary share, the SVF 3
fully-diluted
stock capital would be 41,040,000 ordinary shares.
As of the date hereof, assuming no additional Warehouse Units are issued, it is anticipated that, upon the completion of the Business Combination and the consummation of the Unit Purchase, the ownership of the
Post-Combination
Company assuming No Redemptions will be as follows:

| • |  | current Warehouse unitholders will own 60,844,573 shares of Class V-1 common stock, representing approximately 10.9% of the total common stock outstanding and 416,933,024 shares of Class V-3 common stock, representing approximately 75.0% of the total common stock outstanding;

| • |  | the Subscribers will own 20,500,000 shares of Class A common stock, representing approximately 3.7% of the total common stock outstanding;

| • |  | the Forward Purchase Investor will own 20,000,000 shares of Class A common stock, representing approximately 3.6% of the total common stock outstanding;

| • |  | the Public Shareholders will own 32,000,000 shares of Class A common stock, representing approximately 5.8% of the total common stock outstanding; and

Table of Contents

| • |  | the Initial Shareholders will own 5,624,000 shares of Class A common stock, representing approximately 1.0% of the total common stock outstanding (including 200,000 shares issuable upon conversion of Working Capital Loans and not including 3,616,000 shares subject to vesting requirements pursuant to the Sponsor Letter Agreement). See “ SVF 3’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources ” and “ The Business Combination—Other Agreements—Sponsor Letter Agreement. ”

As of the date hereof, assuming no additional Warehouse Units are issued, it is anticipated that, upon the completion of the Business Combination and the consummation of the Unit Purchase, the ownership of the
Post-Combination
Company, assuming Maximum Redemptions, will be as follows:

| • |  | current Warehouse unitholders will own 60,844,573 shares of Class V-1 common stock, representing approximately 11.6% of the total common stock outstanding and 416,933,024 shares of Class V-3 common stock, representing approximately 79.6% of the total common stock outstanding;

| • |  | the Subscribers will own 20,500,000 shares of Class A common stock, representing approximately 3.9% of the total common stock outstanding;

| • |  | the Forward Purchase Investor will own 20,000,000 shares of Class A common stock, representing approximately 3.8% of the total common stock outstanding;

| • |  | the Public Shareholders will own 112,500 shares of Class A common stock, representing less than 1.0% of the total common stock outstanding; and

| • |  | the Initial Shareholders will own 5,624,000 shares of Class A common stock, representing approximately 1.1% of the total common stock outstanding (including 200,000 shares issuable upon conversion of Working Capital Loans and not including 3,616,000 shares subject to vesting requirements pursuant to the Sponsor Letter Agreement). See “ SVF 3’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources ” and “ The Business Combination—Other Agreements—Sponsor Letter Agreement. ”

The numbers of shares and percentage interests set forth above are based on a number of assumptions, including that Warehouse does not issue any additional equity securities prior to the Business Combination, no Earnout Interests are issued and the Forward Purchase Investor will purchase a total of 20,000,000 Forward Purchase Shares pursuant to the Forward Purchase Agreement. If the actual facts differ from our assumptions, the numbers of shares and percentage interests set forth above will be different. In addition, the numbers of shares and percentage interests set forth above do not take into account units issuable upon the exercise of securities exercisable for Warehouse Units or units of Symbotic Holdings. Although the pro forma amount of cash under the Maximum Redemptions scenario is less than the Minimum Cash Condition, Warehouse and Symbotic Holdings have not elected to waive such condition. Unless Warehouse and Symbotic Holdings elect to waive this condition, the Maximum Redemptions scenario set out in this section cannot occur.
Assuming No Redemptions, full vesting of the 3,616,000 shares subject to vesting requirements pursuant to the Sponsor Letter Agreement, the issuance of 20,000,000 shares of Class V-1 common stock pursuant to the issuance of Earnout Interests, 10,253,722 shares reserved for issuance pursuant to the Incentive Compensation Plan, current Warehouse unitholders will own 80,844,573 shares of Class V-1 common stock, representing approximately 13.7% of the total common stock outstanding and 416,933,024 shares of Class V-3 common stock, representing approximately 70.7% of the total common stock outstanding, the Subscribers will own 20,500,000 shares of Class A common stock, representing approximately 3.5% of the total common stock outstanding, the Forward Purchase Investor will own 20,000,000 shares of Class A common stock, representing approximately 3.4% of the total common stock outstanding, the Public Shareholders will own 32,000,000 shares of Class A common stock, representing approximately 5,4% of the total common stock outstanding, the Initial Shareholders will own 9,240,000 shares of Class A common stock, representing approximately 1.6% of the total

common stock outstanding (including 200,000 shares issuable upon conversion of Working Capital Loans and 3,616,000 shares subject to vesting requirements pursuant to the Sponsor Letter Agreement) and recipients of awards under the Incentive Compensation Plan will own 10,253,722 shares of Class A common stock, representing approximately 1.7% of the total common stock outstanding.
Assuming Maximum Redemptions, full vesting of the 3,616,000 shares subject to vesting requirements pursuant to the Sponsor Letter Agreement, the issuance of 20,000,000 shares of Class V-1 common stock pursuant to the issuance of Earnout Interests, 6,622,090 shares reserved for issuance pursuant to the Incentive Compensation Plan, current Warehouse unitholders will own 80,844,573 shares of Class V-1 common stock, representing approximately 14.6% of the total common stock outstanding and 416,933,024 shares of Class V-3 common stock, representing approximately 75.2% of the total common stock outstanding, the Subscribers will own 20,500,000 shares of Class A common stock, representing approximately 3.7% of the total common stock outstanding, the Forward Purchase Investor will own 20,000,000 shares of Class A common stock, representing approximately 3.6% of the total common stock outstanding, the Public Shareholders will own 112,500 shares of Class A common stock, representing less than 1.0% of the total common stock outstanding, the Initial Shareholders will own 9,240,000 shares of Class A common stock, representing approximately 1.7% of the total common stock outstanding (including 200,000 shares issuable upon conversion of Working Capital Loans and 3,616,000 shares subject to vesting requirements pursuant to the Sponsor Letter Agreement) and recipients of awards under the Incentive Compensation Plan will own 6,622,090 shares of Class A common stock, representing approximately 1.2% of the total common stock outstanding.

Shareholders will be entitled to vote or direct votes to be cast at the Extraordinary General Meeting if they owned SVF 3 ordinary shares at the close of business on April 25, 2022, which is the SVF 3 Record Date. Shareholders will have one vote for each SVF 3 ordinary share owned at the close of business on the SVF 3 Record Date. If your shares are held in “street name” or are in a margin or similar account, you should contact your broker to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted. On the SVF 3 Record Date, there were 41,040,000 SVF 3 ordinary shares outstanding, of which 32,000,000 were Public Shares with the rest being Founder Shares and Private Placement Shares held by the Initial Shareholders.
A quorum of SVF 3 shareholders is necessary to hold a valid meeting. A quorum will be present at the Extraordinary General Meeting if one or more shareholders holding at least a majority of the paid up voting share capital of SVF 3 entitled to vote at the meeting are represented in person (which would include presence at a virtual meeting) or by proxy. Abstentions and broker
non-votes
will count as present for the purposes of establishing a quorum. The Initial Shareholders of record and SVF 3’s directors and officers are entitled to vote 22.3% of the outstanding SVF 3 ordinary shares. Such shares, as well as any ordinary shares acquired in the aftermarket by the Sponsor and SVF 3’s directors and officers, will be voted in favor of the each of the proposals presented at the Extraordinary General Meeting. The proposals presented at the Extraordinary General Meeting will require the following votes:

| • |  | The approval of each of the Business Combination Proposal, the Governance Proposals, the Director Election Proposal, the Merger Issuance Proposal, the Subscription Agreements Proposal, the Incentive Compensation Plan Proposal, the ESPP Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal, if presented, will require the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the votes cast by the shareholders present in person (which would include presence at a virtual meeting) or represented by proxy at the quorate Extraordinary General Meeting and entitled to vote on such matter.

| • |  | The approval of the Domestication Proposal and the Organizational Documents Proposal will require the affirmative vote of at least a two-thirds (2/3) majority of the votes cast by the shareholders present in person (which would include presence at a virtual meeting) or represented by proxy at the quorate Extraordinary General Meeting and entitled to vote on such matter.

With respect to the Business Combination Proposal, the Domestication Proposal, the Organizational Documents Proposal, the Governance Proposals, the Director Election Proposal, the Merger Issuance Proposal, the Subscription Agreements Proposal, the Incentive Compensation Plan Proposal, the ESPP Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal, if presented, abstentions from voting and broker
non-votes,
while considered present for purposes of establishing quorum, will not count as votes cast at the Extraordinary General Meeting, and otherwise will have no effect on such proposals. Please note that holders of the Public Shares can exercise their redemption rights whether they vote their Public Shares for or against, or whether they abstain from voting on, the Business Combination Proposal or any other proposal described in this proxy statement/prospectus.
Consummation of the Business Combination is conditional on approval of each of the Business Combination Proposal, the Domestication Proposal, the Organizational Documents Proposal, the Merger Issuance Proposal, the Subscription Agreements Proposal, the Incentive Compensation Plan Proposal and the ESPP Proposal.

SVF 3’s Directors and Executive Officers Have Financial Interests in the Business Combination (page 256)
Certain of SVF 3’s executive officers and directors may have interests in the Business Combination that may be different from, or in addition to, the interests of SVF 3’s shareholders. The members of the SVF 3 board of directors were aware of and considered these interests, among other matters, when they approved the Merger Agreement and recommended that SVF 3 shareholders approve the proposals required to effect the Business Combination. These interests include, among other things, the interests listed below:

| • |  | The Articles provide that SVF 3 renounce its interest or expectancy in any corporate opportunity about which any director or officer of SVF 3 acquires knowledge unless such opportunity is expressly offered to such person solely in his or her capacity as SVF 3’s director or officer and such opportunity is one that the Company is able to complete on a reasonable basis. Certain of SVF 3’s officers and directors have, and any of them in the future may have additional, fiduciary or contractual obligations to other entities that are sponsored by affiliates of the Sponsor. SVF 3 does not believe, however, that such pre-existing fiduciary duties or contractual obligations of its officers and directors materially affected its search for an acquisition target.

| • |  | If the Business Combination with Symbotic or another business combination is not consummated within the Completion Window, SVF 3 will cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, redeeming 100% of the outstanding Public Shares for cash and, subject to the approval of its remaining shareholders and the SVF 3 Board, dissolving and liquidating. In such event, the 8,000,000 Founder Shares held by SVF 3’s Initial Shareholders which were acquired for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000 prior to the SVF 3 IPO, would be worthless because SVF 3’s Initial Shareholders are not entitled to participate in any redemption or distribution with respect to such shares. Such Founder Shares had an aggregate market value of $79,280,000 based upon the closing price of $9.91 per Class A ordinary share on NASDAQ on April 25, 2022, the SVF 3 Record Date. Certain Founder Shares are subject to certain performance-based vesting provisions as described under “ The Business Combination—Other Agreements— Sponsor Letter Agreement . ”

| • |  | Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, SVF 3 consummated a private sale of 1,040,000 Class A ordinary shares (the “Private Placement”) at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Share to our Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of approximately $10,400,000. If we do not consummate a business combination transaction within the Completion Window, then the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Shares will be part of the liquidating distribution to the Public Shareholders and the Private Placement Shares held by the Sponsor will be worthless.

| • |  | If SVF 3 is unable to complete a business combination within the Completion Window, its officers will be personally liable under certain circumstances described herein to ensure that the proceeds in the Trust Account are not reduced by the claims of target businesses or claims of vendors or other entities that are owed money by SVF 3 for services rendered or contracted for or products sold to SVF 3. If SVF 3 consummates a business combination, on the other hand, SVF 3 will be liable for all such claims.

| • |  | SVF 3’s directors and officers and their affiliates are entitled to reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection with certain activities on SVF 3’s behalf, such as identifying and investigating possible business targets and business combinations. However, if SVF 3 fails to consummate a business combination within the Completion Window, they will not have any claim against the Trust Account for such reimbursement. Accordingly, SVF 3 may not be able to reimburse these expenses if the Business Combination or another business combination is not consummated within the Completion Window.

| • |  | The continued indemnification of current directors and officers and the continuation of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance.

| • |  | Our Sponsor, officers and directors collectively (including entities controlled by officers and directors) have made an aggregate investment of $11,550,000, or $1.26 per SVF 3 ordinary share (including the 8,000,000 Founder Shares, the 1,040,000 Private Placement Shares and the purchase of 112,500 Public Shares in connection with the SVF 3 IPO). Such shares had an aggregate market value of $90,701,275 based upon the closing price of $9.91 per Class A ordinary share on NASDAQ on April 25, 2022, the SVF 3 Record Date (of which 150,000 Founder Shares and 112,500 Public Shares were held by our directors and officers, which had an aggregate market value of $2,601,375 based upon the closing price of $9.91 per Class A ordinary share on NASDAQ on April 25, 2022, the SVF 3 Record Date). As a result of the significantly lower investment per share of our Sponsor, directors and officers as compared with the investment per share of our Public Shareholders, a transaction which results in an increase in the value of the investment of our Sponsor, directors and officers may result in a decrease in the value of the investment of our Public Shareholders. These interests could, in theory, incentivize our Sponsor, directors and officers to complete a business combination with a less favorable target company or on terms less favorable to stockholders rather than liquidate.

| • |  | There will be no liquidating distributions from our Trust Account with respect to the Founder Shares or the Private Placement Shares if we fail to complete a business combination within the Completion Window. Our Sponsor purchased the Founder Shares prior to the SVF 3 IPO for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000, and transferred 50,000 Founder Shares to each of Michael Carpenter, Michael Tobin and Cristiana Falcone for aggregate consideration of $300.

| • |  | Following the Closing, the Sponsor would be entitled to the repayment of any Working Capital Loans and advances that have been made to SVF 3 and remain outstanding. On August 10, 2021, the Sponsor agreed to loan SVF 3 $2.0 million as a Working Capital Loan. On November 9, 2021, the Sponsor and SVF 3 agreed to amend this loan to increase the commitment by $1.0 million. If SVF 3 does not complete an initial business combination within the Completion Window, SVF 3 may use a portion of its working capital 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. Up to $2,000,000 of such loans may be convertible into Class A ordinary shares of the post-business combination entity at a price of $10.00 per share at the option of the lender.

| • |  | Our Initial Shareholders and our directors and officers have agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their Founders Shares and will not have rights to liquidating distributions with respect to their Private Placement Shares if SVF 3 fails to complete a business combination within the Completion Window.

| • |  | As of October 31, 2021, Walmart, Symbotic’s largest customer, holds a majority of the outstanding equity interests of Flipkart Internet Pvt Ltd, a company in which SoftBank Vision Fund II, an affiliate of SBIA, holds a minority interest.

| • |  | In order to protect the amounts held in our Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to us if and to the extent any claims by a vendor for services rendered or products sold to us, or a prospective target business with which we have entered into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in our Trust Account. This liability will not apply with respect to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in SVF 3’s Trust Account or to any claims under our indemnity of the underwriters of the offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

In addition, if we are able to complete a business combination within the Completion Window, our Initial Stockholders may receive a positive return on the 8,000,000 Founder Shares, which were acquired by our Sponsor for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000 prior to the SVF 3 IPO, and the 1,040,000 Private Placement Shares, which were acquired for an aggregate purchase price of $10,400,000 with the completion of the SVF 3

IPO, even if our Public Shareholders experience a negative return on their investment in our Class A ordinary shares after consummation of the Business Combination. However, if we are unable to complete our initial business combination within the Completion Window, our Sponsor may lose their investment of $13,424,700 made in respect of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Shares and Working Capital Loans.
The SVF 3 board of directors and the audit committee thereof was aware of and considered these interests, among other matters, in reaching the determination to approve the terms of the Business Combination and in recommending to SVF 3’s shareholders that they vote to approve the Business Combination. See “
The Business Combination—Interests
of SVF 3’s
Directors and Officers in the Business
Combination.

Satisfaction of 80% Test (page 255)
It is a requirement under the Articles that the business or assets acquired in its initial business combination have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the assets held in the Trust Account (excluding deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on the income earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the agreement to enter into such business combination. In addition, NASDAQ rules require that SVF 3 complete one or more business combinations having an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the value of the assets held in the Trust Account (net of amounts disbursed to management for working capital purposes and excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on the interest earned on the Trust Account) at the time of our signing a definitive agreement in connection with our initial business combination. As of December 12, 2021, the date of the execution of the definitive agreement for the proposed Business Combination, the balance of the Trust Account was approximately $308.8 million (excluding the $11.2 million of deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on the income earned on the Trust Account) and 80% thereof represents approximately $247.0 million. In reaching its conclusion that the proposed Business Combination meets the 80% asset test, our Board used as a fair market value the enterprise value of approximately $4.8 billion, which was implied based on the terms of the transactions agreed to by the parties in negotiating the definitive agreement for the proposed Business Combination. The enterprise value consists of an implied equity value for Warehouse (prior to the proposed Business Combination) of approximately $4.8 billion. In determining whether the enterprise value described above represents the fair market value of Warehouse, the SVF 3 Board considered all of the factors described in the section of the proxy statement/prospectus captioned “
Recommendation of the SVF 3 Board of Directors and Reasons for the Business Combination
” and the fact that the purchase price for Warehouse was the result of an arm’s length negotiation. As a result, the SVF 3 Board concluded that the fair market value of Warehouse was significantly in excess of 80% of the assets held in the Trust Account (excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on the income earned on the Trust Account).
Appraisal Rights (page 314)
SVF 3 shareholders do not have appraisal rights in connection with the Business Combination or the Domestication under Cayman Islands law or under the DGCL.

Pursuant to the Sponsor Letter Agreement, the Sponsor and the SVF Insiders agreed, subject to certain exceptions, not to transfer any of (a) the SVF 3 Class B ordinary shares and any securities into which such shares are converted in connection with the Closing and (b) the Private Placement Shares (but for the avoidance of doubt, not including any of the Post-Combination Company’s Class A common

TRA Holders of 85% of the amount of the cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal and state income tax that the Post-Combination Company actually realizes (or is deemed to realize in certain circumstances) in periods after the Closing as a result of (a) the existing tax basis in certain assets of New Symbotic Holdings that is allocable to the relevant New Symbotic Holdings Common Units, (b) any
step-up
in tax basis in New Symbotic Holdings’ assets resulting from (i) certain purchases of New Symbotic Holdings Common Units (including the purchases of the Purchase Units pursuant to the Unit Purchase Agreement), (ii) future exchanges of New Symbotic Holdings Common Units for cash or shares of the Post-Combination Company’s Class A common stock, (iii) certain distributions (if any) by New Symbotic Holdings and (iv) payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement, and (c) tax benefits related to imputed interest deemed to be paid by the Post-Combination Company as a result of payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement.
The Tax Receivable Agreement will generally provide for payments to be made as the Post-Combination Company realizes actual cash tax savings in periods after the Closing from the tax benefits covered by the Tax Receivable Agreement. Moreover, the Tax Receivable Agreement provides that, in the event that (i) the Post-Combination Company exercises its early termination rights under the Tax Receivable Agreement, (ii) the Post-Combination Company experiences certain changes of control or (iii) the Post-Combination Company breaches any of its material obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement, the Post-Combination Company’s obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement may accelerate and the Post-Combination Company could be required to make
a lump-sum cash
payment to each TRA Holder equal to the present value of all future payments that would have otherwise been made under the Tax Receivable Agreement,
which lump-sum payment
would be based on certain assumptions, including those relating to the Post-Combination Company’s future taxable income.
The lump-sum payment
could be substantial and could exceed the actual tax benefits that the Post-Combination Company realizes subsequent to such payment because such payment would be calculated assuming, among other things, that the Post-Combination Company would have certain tax benefits available to it and that the Post-Combination Company would be able to use the potential tax benefits in future years. See “
The Business Combination—Other Agreements—Tax Receivable Agreement
” for additional information.
Registration Rights Agreement
The Merger Agreement contemplates that, in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination, Symbotic Inc., the Sponsor, certain independent directors of SVF 3 and certain legacy Warehouse unitholders will enter into an amended and restated registration rights agreement (the “A&R Registration Rights Agreement”), a form of which is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as
Annex L
. Pursuant to the A&R Registration Rights Agreement, Symbotic Inc. will agree to register for resale under the Securities Act certain shares of Symbotic Inc. common stock and other equity securities of Symbotic Inc. that are held by the parties thereto from time to time. See “
The Business Combination—Other Agreements—Registration Rights Agreement
” for additional information.
Subscription Agreements
In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, SVF 3 entered into Subscription Agreements (the “Subscription Agreements”), a form of which is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as
Annex M,
with certain parties subscribing for shares of the Post-Combination Company’s Class A common stock (the “Subscribers”) pursuant to which the Subscribers have agreed to purchase, and SVF 3 has agreed to sell the Subscribers, an aggregate of 20,500,000 shares of the Post-Combination Company’s Class A common stock, at a purchase price of $10.00 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $205,000,000. The obligations to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Subscription Agreements are conditioned upon, among other things, customary closing conditions and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. See “
The Business Combination—Other Agreements—Subscription Agreements
” for additional information.

New Symbotic Holdings LLC Agreement
Following the Closing, Symbotic Inc. will operate its business through New Symbotic Holdings. At the Closing, Symbotic Holdings, Symbotic Inc. and the other unitholders of Symbotic Holdings will enter into the New Symbotic Holdings LLC Agreement, a form of which is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as
Annex N
. The operations of Symbotic Holdings, and the rights and obligations of its unitholders, will be set forth in the New Symbotic Holdings LLC Agreement. See “
The Business Combination—Other Agreements—New Symbotic Holdings LLC Agreement
” for additional information.
Forward Purchase Agreement
In connection with the SVF 3 IPO, SVF 3 entered into a Forward Purchase Agreement (the “Forward Purchase Agreement”) with an affiliate of the Sponsor (the “Forward Purchase Investor”), a form of which is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as
Annex O
, which provides for the purchase of $150,000,000 of Class A ordinary shares (the “Forward Purchase Shares”) for $10.00 per share, in a private placement to close substantially concurrently with the closing of SVF 3’s initial business combination. The Forward Purchase Agreement also provided that the Forward Purchase Investor may elect to purchase up to an additional $50,000,000 of Forward Purchase Shares, for a purchase price of $10.00 per share. Any elections to purchase up to 5,000,000 additional Forward Purchase Shares will take place in one or more private placements in such amounts and at such time as the Forward Purchase Investor determines, but no later than simultaneously with the closing of SVF 3’s initial business combination. The Forward Purchase Investor has elected to purchase 5,000,000 additional Forward Purchase Shares for aggregate proceeds of $50,000,000 immediately prior to the Closing. SVF 3 and the Forward Purchase Investor may determine, by mutual agreement, to increase the number of additional Forward Purchase Shares at any time prior to SVF 3’s initial business combination. The obligations under the Forward Purchase Agreement do not depend on whether any Class A ordinary shares are redeemed by the Public Shareholders. The Forward Purchase Shares will be issued only in connection with the closing of the initial business combination. The proceeds from the sale of Forward Purchase Shares may be used as part of the consideration to the sellers in SVF 3’s initial business combination, expenses in connection with SVF 3’s initial business combination or for working capital in the post-transaction company.
Sources and Uses of Funds (page 84)
The following tables summarize the estimated sources and uses for funding the Business Combination assuming (i) that none of SVF 3’s outstanding Class A ordinary shares are redeemed in connection with the Business Combination and (ii) that 31,887,500 outstanding Class A ordinary shares (not including 112,500 Class A ordinary shares originally issued in the SVF 3 IPO and purchased by certain directors and officers of SVF 3, which are not subject to redemption in connection with the Business Combination) are redeemed in connection with the Business Combination. The number of Class A ordinary shares redeemable assuming Maximum Redemptions assumes that the per share redemption price is $10.00; the actual per share redemption price will be equal to the pro rata portion of the Trust Account calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination. Although the pro forma amount of cash under the Maximum Redemptions scenario is less than the Minimum Cash Condition, Warehouse and Symbotic Holdings have not elected to waive such condition. Unless Warehouse and Symbotic Holdings elect to waive this condition, the Maximum Redemptions scenario set out in this section cannot occur.

Anticipated Accounting Treatment (page 260)
The Symbotic Founder, certain family members of the Symbotic Founder and certain affiliated entities and trusts of the Symbotic Founder and his family members under both the No Redemption and Maximum Redemption scenarios continue to control Warehouse before and after the Business Combination. The Business Combination will be accounted for as a reverse recapitalization, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded in accordance with GAAP.
Warehouse has been determined to be the accounting acquirer based on evaluation of the following facts and circumstances:

| • |  | The Symbotic Founder, certain family members of the Symbotic Founder and certain affiliated entities and trusts of the Symbotic Founder and his family members will have a majority of the voting power of the Post-Combination Company under both the No Redemption and Maximum Redemption scenarios;

| • |  | The Symbotic Founder, certain family members of the Symbotic Founder and certain affiliated entities and trusts of the Symbotic Founder and his family members will have the ability to nominate and represent majority of the Post-Combination Company’s Board; and

| • |  | Warehouse’s former management will comprise the vast majority of the management and executive positions of the Post-Combination Company.

Under this method of accounting, SVF 3 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 Warehouse issuing stock for the net assets of SVF 3, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of SVF 3 will be stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Operations prior to the Business Combination will be those of Warehouse.

Summary Risk Factors
You should consider all the information contained in this proxy statement/prospectus in deciding how to vote for the proposals presented in this proxy statement/prospectus. In particular, you should consider the risk factors described under “
Risk Factors.
” Such risks include, but are not limited to:

| • |  | Risks related to Symbotic’s business, operations and industry, including that:

| • |  | Symbotic is an early-stage company with a limited operating history. Symbotic has not been profitable historically and may not achieve or maintain profitability in the near term or at all, and it is difficult to evaluate Symbotic’s future prospects and the risks and challenges it may encounter.

| • |  | Symbotic depends heavily on principal customers, and therefore, its success is heavily dependent on its principal customers’ ability to grow their businesses and their adoption of Symbotic’s warehouse automation systems.

| • |  | Symbotic’s operating results and financial condition may fluctuate from period to period, which could make its future operating results difficult to predict or cause its operating results to fall below analysts’ and investors’ expectations.

| • |  | C&S Wholesale Grocers, an important customer of Symbotic, is an affiliate of Symbotic. Despite Symbotic’s affiliation with C&S Wholesale Grocers, there is no guarantee that they will continue to be a customer beyond the term of their current contract with Symbotic.

| • |  | Symbotic depends upon key employees and other highly qualified personnel, and will need to hire and train additional personnel.

| • |  | Symbotic’s new warehouse automation systems, software, services and products may not be successful or meet existing or future requirements in supply agreements with existing or future customers, and may be affected from time to time by design and manufacturing defects that could adversely affect its business, financial condition and results of operations and result in harm to its reputation.

| • |  | Symbotic relies on suppliers to provide equipment, components and services. Any disruption to the suppliers’ operations could adversely affect Symbotic’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

| • |  | The markets in which Symbotic participates could become more competitive and many companies may target the markets in which Symbotic does business. Additionally, Symbotic’s customers and potential customers may develop in-house solutions that compete with its warehouse automation systems. If Symbotic is unable to compete effectively with these potential competitors and developments, its sales and profitability could be adversely affected.

| • |  | If Symbotic is unable to develop new solutions, adapt to technological change, evolving industry standards and changing business needs or preferences, sell its software, services and products into new markets or further penetrate its existing markets, its revenue may not grow as expected.

22

Table of Contents

| • |  | Laws and regulations governing the robotics and warehouse automation industries are still developing and may restrict Symbotic’s business or increase the costs of its solutions, making Symbotic’s solutions less competitive or adversely affecting its revenue growth.

| • |  | Supply chain interruptions may increase Symbotic’s costs or reduce its revenue.

| • |  | Risks related to intellectual property, including that:

| • |  | Symbotic may need to bring or defend itself against patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret or other intellectual property infringement or misappropriation claims, which may adversely affect its business, financial condition and results of operations by limiting its ability to use technology or intellectual property and causing it to incur substantial costs.

| • |  | Symbotic’s business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected and the value of its brand, products and other intangible assets may be diminished if it is unable to maintain and protect its IP from unauthorized use, infringement or misappropriation by third parties.

| • |  | Risks related to cybersecurity, software deficiencies, service interruptions and data privacy, including that:

| • |  | Symbotic has experienced cybersecurity incidents in the past and may experience further cybersecurity incidents or security breaches of its systems or IT (including third-party systems or IT that Symbotic relies on to operate its business) in the future, which may result in system disruptions, shutdowns or unauthorized access to or disclosure of confidential or personal information.

| • |  | Symbotic’s ability to efficiently manage and expand its business depends significantly on the reliability, capacity and protection of its systems and IT(including third-party systems or IT that Symbotic relies on to operate its business). Real or perceived errors, failures, bugs, defects or security breaches or interruptions of these systems and IT could disrupt its operations, lead to loss of proprietary information, damage its relationships with customers or its vendors, result in regulatory investigations and penalties, lead to liability and litigation, negatively impact its reputation and otherwise adversely affect its business, financial condition and results of operations.

| • |  | Risks related to SVF 3 and the Business Combination, including that:

| • |  | SVF 3 shareholders will have a reduced ownership and voting interest after the Business Combination and will exercise less influence over management.

| • |  | If the Business Combination’s benefits do not meet the expectations of financial analysts, the market price of the Post-Combination Company’s Class A common stock may decline.

| • |  | The consummation of the Business Combination is subject to a number of conditions and if those conditions are not satisfied or waived, the Merger Agreement may be terminated in accordance with its terms and the Business Combination may not be completed.

| • |  | SVF 3 directors and officers may have interests in the Business Combination different from the interests of SVF 3 shareholders.

| • |  | The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information included in this proxy statement/prospectus is preliminary and the actual financial condition and results of operations after the Business Combination may differ materially.

| • |  | Because SVF 3 is incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands, in the event the Domestication is not completed, you may face difficulties in protecting your interests, and your ability to protect your rights through the U.S. Federal courts may be limited.

23

Table of Contents

| • |  | Symbotic’s financial results forecast relies in large part upon assumptions and analyses developed by Symbotic. If these assumptions or analyses prove to be incorrect, Symbotic’s actual results may be materially different from its forecasted results.

| • |  | Legal proceedings in connection with the business combination, the outcomes of which are uncertain, could delay or prevent the completion of the business combination.

| • |  | Risks related to redemption, including that:

| • |  | There is no guarantee that a SVF 3 Public Shareholder’s decision whether to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the Trust Account will put such shareholder in a better future economic position.

| • |  | If you or a “group” of shareholders of which you are a part are deemed to hold an aggregate of more than 15% of the Public Shares, you (or, if a member of such a group, all of the members of such group in the aggregate) will lose the ability to redeem all such shares in excess of 15% of the Public Shares.

| • |  | Other risks, including that:

| • |  | As a private company, Symbotic has not been required to document and test, management has not been required to certify, and its auditors have not been required to opine on, the effectiveness of its internal controls over financial reporting. Failure to maintain adequate financial, IT and management processes and controls could result in material weaknesses and errors in Symbotic’s financial reporting, which could adversely affect its business, financial condition and results of operations. Moreover, there are inherent limitations in all control systems, and misstatements due to error or fraud that could seriously harm its business may occur and not be detected.

| • |  | The dual class structure of the Post-Combination Company’s common stock has the effect of concentrating voting control with the Symbotic Founder, certain family members of the Symbotic Founder and certain affiliated entities and trusts of the Symbotic Founder and his family members; this will limit or preclude your ability to influence corporate matters.

| • |  | Symbotic shares certain key executives with C&S Wholesale Grocers, which means those executives will not devote their full time and attention to the Post-Combination Company’s affairs, and the overlap may give rise to conflicts.

Summary Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information
The following summary unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial data (the “summary pro forma data”) gives effect to the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. Under both the No Redemptions and the Redemptions to Minimum Cash Condition scenario, the Business Combination will be accounted for as a reverse recapitalization, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded, in accordance with GAAP. Under this method of accounting, SVF 3 will be treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes with Warehouse considered to be the accounting acquirer. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Business Combination will be treated as the equivalent of Warehouse issuing stock for the net assets of SVF 3, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of SVF 3 will be stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. The summary unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of March 26, 2022 gives effect to the Business Combination, as if, it had occurred on March 26, 2022. The summary unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations data for the six months ended March 26, 2022 and year ended September 25, 2021 give effect to the Business Combination, as if it had occurred on September 27, 2020.
The summary pro forma data have been derived from, and should be read in conjunction with, the more detailed unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information (the “pro forma financial statements”) of SVF 3 appearing elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus and the accompanying notes to the pro forma financial statements. The pro forma financial statements are based upon, and should be read in conjunction with, the historical consolidated financial statements and related notes of SVF 3 and Symbotic included in this proxy statement /prospectus.
The summary pro forma data have been presented for informational purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of what Symbotic’s and SVF 3’s financial position or results of operations actually would have been had the Business Combination been completed as of the dates indicated. In addition, the summary pro forma data do not purport to project the future financial position or operating results of the Post-Combination Company.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared using the assumptions below with respect to the potential redemption into cash of common stock:

| • |  | Assuming No Redemptions: This scenario assumes that no public shareholders of SVF 3 exercise redemption rights with respect to their Public Shares for a pro rata share of the funds in the Trust Account.

28

| • |  | Assuming Redemptions to Minimum Cash Condition: For the purposes of the summary pro forma data, this scenario assumes that 30,828,457 SVF 3 Class A ordinary shares are redeemed for an aggregate payment of approximately $308 million (based on the estimated per share redemption price of approximately $10.00 per share) from the Trust Account. Although all 31,887,500 SVF 3 Class A ordinary shares are subject to redemption (not including 112,500 Class A ordinary shares originally issued in the SVF 3 IPO and purchased by certain directors and officers of SVF 3, which are not subject to redemption in connection with the Business Combination), the Merger Agreement includes a Minimum Cash Condition of $350.0 million comprising (i) the cash held in the trust account after giving effect to the SVF 3 share redemptions and settlement of outstanding transaction expenses (ii) Cash and Cash Equivalents of SVF 3 and (iii) proceeds from the PIPE Investment and the sale of Forward Purchase Shares.

RISK FACTORS
In addition to the other information contained in this proxy statement/prospectus, including the matters addressed under the heading
“Forward-Looking
Statements,” you should carefully consider the following risk factors in deciding how to vote on the proposals presented in this proxy statement/prospectus.
Risks Related to Symbotic
In this section, “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Symbotic prior to the Business Combination and to Symbotic Inc., or the
Post-Combination
Company, from and following the Business Combination.
Risks Related to Our Business, Operations and Industry
We are an early-stage company with a limited operating history and a history of losses. We have not been profitable historically and may not achieve or maintain profitability in the near term or at all, and it is difficult to evaluate our future prospects and the risks and challenges we may encounter.
We face significant risks and difficulties as an early-stage company and have a limited operating history upon which to evaluate the viability and sustainability of our technology, systems and processes, which increases the risk to your investment. In addition, we have an accumulated deficit of $1,154.9 million as of September 25, 2021 and $856.9 million as of September 26, 2020 and have incurred recurring net losses since inception, including net losses of $122.3 million and $109.5 million, respectively, for the years ended September 25, 2021 and September 26, 2020. We believe we will continue to incur operating losses in the near term as we continue to invest significantly in our business to position us for future growth, including expending substantial financial and other resources on:

| • |  | product development, including investments in our product development team and the development of new products and new functionality for our warehouse automation systems, as well as investments in further optimizing our existing warehouse automation systems and robotics technology, software, products and infrastructure;

| • |  | our technology infrastructure, including systems architecture, scalability, availability, performance and security;

| • |  | acquisitions and strategic transactions;

| • |  | our international operations and anticipated international expansion; and

| • |  | general administration, including increased legal, compliance and accounting expenses associated with being a public company.

These efforts may be costlier than we expect, and our revenue may not grow at a rate to offset these expenses. We may make investments that do not generate optimal short- or medium-term financial results and may even incur increased operating losses in the short or medium term with no assurance that we will eventually achieve the intended long-term benefits or profitability.
Our investments in our technology, products and services may not be successful on the timeline we anticipate or at all, and may not result in increased revenue growth. Additionally, we have encountered, and may in the future encounter, risks and uncertainties frequently experienced by growing companies in rapidly changing industries, such as unforeseen operating expenses, difficulties, complications, delays and other known or unknown factors that may result in losses in future periods. If our revenue growth does not meet our expectations in future periods, or we are unable to maintain or increase our revenue at a rate sufficient to offset the expected increase in our costs, our business, financial position and results of operations will be harmed, and we may not be able to achieve or maintain profitability over the long term.
As our businesses expand, our historical results may not be indicative of our future performance and you should consider our future prospects in light of the risks and uncertainties of early-stage companies operating in fast evolving high-tech industries in emerging markets.

As a result, it is difficult to predict our future revenue or appropriately budget for our expenses. In the event that actual results differ from our estimates or we adjust our estimates in future periods, our operating results and financial position could be materially affected. The projected financial information appearing elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus has been prepared by our management and reflects current estimates of future performance. The projected results depend on the successful implementation of our management’s growth strategies and are based on assumptions and events over which we have only partial or no control. Important factors that may affect actual results and cause the results reflected in the projected financial information not to be achieved include, among other things, risks and uncertainties relating to Symbotic’s business, industry performance, the regulatory environment, and general business and economic conditions. The prospective financial information also reflects assumptions as to certain business decisions that are subject to change.
We depend heavily on principal customers, and therefore, our success is heavily dependent on our principal customers’ ability to grow their businesses and their adoption of our warehouse automation systems.
Walmart, our largest customer, accounted for approximately 67% of our total revenue in the fiscal year ended September 25, 2021 and for a substantial majority of our $5.4 billion Backlog (as defined herein) as of September 25, 2021. We have worked with Walmart since 2015 and entered into a Master Automation Agreement with Walmart in 2017 to implement systems in 25 of Walmart’s 42 regional distribution centers. We amended and restated the Master Automation Agreement on May 20, 2022 (as it may be amended and/or restated from time to time, the “Walmart MAA”) to implement systems in all of Walmart’s 42 regional distribution centers, adding an additional $6.1 billion to our Backlog. Pursuant to such agreement, we have agreed to certain restrictions on our ability to sell or license our products and services to a specified company or its subsidiaries, affiliates or dedicated service providers. Walmart will also have certain board observation rights following the Business Combination. Thus, our ability to maintain a close, mutually beneficial relationship with Walmart is an important element in our continued growth.
The loss or cancellation of business from Walmart, including our failure to properly implement or optimize our warehouse automation systems in Walmart’s distribution centers, or our failure to comply with the terms of the Walmart MAA, could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. Similarly, if Walmart is not able to grow its business or its business declines, including as a result of a reduction in the level of discretionary spending by its customers or competition from other retailers, our business, financial condition or results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.
In addition to our dependence on Walmart, we are also dependent upon sales to C&S Wholesale Grocers, Inc. (“C&S Wholesale Grocers”), with which we are affiliated, Albertsons, Giant Tiger and Target. Net sales to these customers accounted for approximately 33% of our total revenue in the fiscal year ended September 25, 2021. It is not possible for us to predict the level of demand that will be generated by any of these customers in the future. In addition, revenue from these larger customers may fluctuate from time to time based on these customers’ business needs and customer experience, the timing of which may be affected by market conditions or other factors outside of our control. To the extent that one or more customers in this group decide not to implement our warehouse automation systems in their distribution centers or decide to retain manual solutions or adopt single point automated solutions for their distribution centers, our business, financial condition or results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.
C&S Wholesale Grocers, an important customer, is an affiliate of Symbotic. Despite our affiliation with C&S Wholesale Grocers, there is no guarantee that they will continue to be a customer beyond the term of their current contracts with us.
Our Founder, Board Chair, President and Chief Product Officer, Richard B. Cohen, also serves as the Executive Chairman of C&S Wholesale Grocers. Additionally, Mr. Cohen and trusts for the benefit of his family are the only beneficial stockholders of C&S Wholesale Grocers. As a result, C&S Wholesale Grocers can be considered an affiliate of Symbotic.
32

Table of Contents
C&S Wholesale Grocers is also an important customer that has implemented production Symbotic systems as well as proof of concept and test systems in its facilities. All Symbotic systems purchased under our existing contracts with C&S Wholesale Grocers have been delivered, though we have ongoing software license and maintenance obligations under our contracts with C&S through March 2026. Despite our affiliation with C&S Wholesale Grocers, there is no guarantee that they will continue to be a customer beyond the term of their current contracts with us. To the extent C&S Wholesale Grocers decides not to renew its current contracts with us or to implement additional Symbotic warehouse automation systems in their distribution centers, our business, financial condition or results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.
Our operating results and financial condition may fluctuate from period to period, which could make our future operating results difficult to predict or cause our operating results to fall below analysts’ and investors’ expectations.
Our operating results and financial condition fluctuate from quarter to quarter and year to year and are likely to continue to vary due to a number of factors, many of which will not be within our control. Both our business and warehouse automation are changing and evolving rapidly, and our historical operating results may not be useful in predicting our future operating results. If our operating results do not meet the guidance that we provide to the marketplace or the expectations of securities analysts or investors, the market price of our common stock will likely decline. Fluctuations in our operating results and financial condition may be due to a number of factors, including:

| • |  | the portion of our revenue attributable to software license and maintenance fees and system operation service fees versus milestone payments for system installation and other sales;

| • |  | changes in pricing by us in response to competitive pricing actions;

| • |  | the ability of our equipment vendors to continue to manufacture high-quality products and to supply sufficient products to meet our demands;

| • |  | the impact of shortages of components, commodities or other materials, including semiconductors and integrated circuits, and other supply chain disruptions;

| • |  | our ability to control costs, including our operating expenses and the costs of the equipment we purchase;

| • |  | the timing and success of introductions of new solutions, products or upgrades by us or our competitors;

| • |  | changes in our business and pricing policies or those of our competitors;

| • |  | competition, including entry into the industry by new competitors and new offerings by existing competitors;

| • |  | our ability to successfully manage any past or future acquisitions, strategic transactions and integrations of businesses;

| • |  | our ability to obtain, maintain, protect or enforce our IP (as defined herein), including our trademarks and patents, and maintaining the confidentiality of our trade secrets;

| • |  | the amount and timing of expenditures, including those related to expanding our operations, increasing research and development, improving facilities and introducing new warehouse automation systems;

| • |  | the ability to effectively manage growth within existing and new markets domestically and abroad;

| • |  | changes in the payment terms for our warehouse automation systems;

| • |  | the strength of regional, national and global economies;

| • |  | the impact of cybersecurity incidents or security breaches; and

| • |  | the impact of natural disasters, health pandemics or man-made problems such as terrorism.

Table of Contents
Due to the foregoing factors, and the other risks discussed in this proxy statement/prospectus, you should not rely on quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year comparisons of our operating results as an indicator of our future performance.
Complex software and technology systems will need to be developed, both
in-house
and in coordination with vendors and suppliers, for us to successfully produce and integrate our warehouse automation systems with our customers’ existing warehouses, and there can be no assurance that such systems will be successfully developed.
Our warehouse automation systems require a substantial amount of third-party and proprietary
in-house
software and complex hardware to be installed and to operate in our customers’ warehouses. The development of such advanced technologies is inherently complex and costly, and we will need to coordinate with our vendors and suppliers in order to produce and integrate our warehouse automation systems with our clients’ infrastructure. In the future, one or more of our third-party software or hardware providers may choose not to support the operation of their software, software services and infrastructure with our system, or our system may not support the capabilities needed to operate with such software, software services and infrastructure. Defects and errors may be revealed over time (and may not even be known until after our systems have been deployed to our customers) and our control over the performance of third-party services and systems may be limited. We may be unable to develop the necessary software and technology systems or meet the technological requirements and production timing to support our business plan. In addition, our systems may not comply with the cost, performance useful life and warranty requirements we anticipate in our business plan. As a result, our business plan could be significantly impacted and we may incur significant liabilities under warranty claims, which could adversely affect our business, prospects and results of operations.
We depend upon key employees and other highly qualified personnel, including hardware and software engineers, and will need to hire and train additional personnel.
Our success depends on the continuing services of key employees. We believe the depth and quality of the experience of our management team with the retail supply chain, distribution logistics, automation and robotics technology is a key to our ability to be successful. The loss of any of these individuals could materially and adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results. Additionally, the success of our operations will largely depend upon our ability to successfully attract and retain competent and qualified key management personnel. As with any company with limited resources, there can be no guarantee that we will be able to attract such individuals or that the presence of such individuals will necessarily translate into profitability for us.
Our success also depends, in part, on our continuing ability to identify, hire, attract, train and develop other highly qualified personnel, in particular hardware and software engineers. Experienced and highly skilled employees are in high demand and competition for these employees can be intense, and our ability to hire, attract and retain them depends on our ability to provide competitive compensation. We may not be able to attract, assimilate, develop or retain qualified personnel in the future, and our failure to do so could adversely affect our business, including the execution of our business strategy.
In the event that our employees seek to join a labor union, higher employee costs and increased risk of work stoppages or strikes could result. We may also directly or indirectly depend upon other companies with unionized workforces, including suppliers, and work stoppages or strikes with respect to those companies could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition or results. Higher employee costs may also result from the high demand and competition for employees. Our inability to attract and retain key employees and highly qualified personnel in a timely and cost-effective manner could materially and adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results.

Our new warehouse automation systems, software, services and products may not be successful or meet existing or future requirements in supply agreements with existing or future customers.
We installed our first warehouse automation system in a customer distribution center in 2012 and launched our current warehouse automation system in 2017. Since that time, we have continued to refine the robotics technology and capabilities of our automated systems and anticipate continuing to upgrade our warehouse automation system and related software, services and products in the future. The warehouse automation systems, software, services and products we may launch in the future may not be well received by our customers, may not help us to generate new customers, may adversely affect the attrition rate of existing customers and may increase our customer acquisition costs and the costs to service our customers. Any revenue, if any, we may generate from these or other new warehouse automation systems, software, services or products may be lower than revenue generated from our existing warehouse automation systems, software, services and products and may not be sufficient for us to recoup our development or customer acquisition costs incurred, particularly if launch dates are delayed for our new warehouse automation systems, software, services or products or we are unable to scale such systems, products, software or services. In addition, new warehouse automation systems, software, services and products may require increased operational expenses or customer acquisition costs and present new and difficult technological and intellectual property challenges that may subject us to claims or complaints if our customers experience installation issues, service disruptions or failures or other quality issues. To the extent our new warehouse automation systems, software, services and products are not successful, it could have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition, cash flows or results of operations.
We rely on suppliers to provide equipment, components and services. Any disruption to the suppliers’ operations could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our business requires that we buy equipment, components and services including electronic components and commodities. Our reliance on suppliers involves certain risks, including:

| • |  | poor quality or an insecure supply chain, which could adversely affect the reliability and reputation of our hardware and software products, solutions and services;

| • |  | changes in the cost of these purchases due to inflation, exchange rate fluctuations, taxes, tariffs, commodity market volatility or other factors that affect our suppliers;

| • |  | embargoes, sanctions and other trade restrictions that may affect our ability to purchase from various suppliers;

| • |  | risks related to intellectual property such as challenges to ownership of rights or alleged infringement by suppliers; and

| • |  | shortages of components, commodities or other materials, including semiconductors and integrated circuits, which could adversely affect our manufacturing efficiencies and ability to make timely delivery of our products, solutions and services.

Any of these uncertainties could adversely affect our profitability and ability to compete. We also maintain several single-source supplier relationships because the relationship is advantageous due to performance, quality, support, delivery, capacity or price considerations. Unavailability of, or delivery delays for, single-source components or products could adversely affect our ability to ship the related products in a timely manner. While substitute sources of supply are available, qualifying alternative suppliers and establishing reliable supplies could cost more or result in delays and a loss of sales.
The suppliers on which we rely have each entered into supply agreements with us, and a number of these agreements provide the supplier with a termination right upon notice for any reason or no reason. A supplier’s choice to give notice of termination could disrupt our operations, negatively impact our reputation and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We rely on a number of suppliers for raw materials and components for our systems, and have entered into supply agreements with such suppliers. A number of these supply agreements provide the supplier with a
35

Table of Contents
termination right for any reason or no reason. If one of our suppliers terminates their relationship with us, or experiences a supply chain disruption, we could experience delays in our ability to deliver systems to our customers. In addition, while most raw materials and components for our systems are available from multiple suppliers, certain of those items are only available from limited sources. Should any of these suppliers become unavailable or inadequate, or impose terms unacceptable to us, such as increased pricing terms, we could be required to spend a significant amount of time and expense to develop alternate sources of supply, and we may not be successful in doing so on terms acceptable to us, or at all. As a result, the loss of a supplier could adversely affect our relationship with our customers and our reputation, as well as our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We currently share certain services with C&S Wholesale Grocers including, but not limited to, insurance, tax and treasury services. We are in the process of procuring such services separately from C&S Wholesale Grocers or entering into agreements that govern the use of shared services with C&S Wholesale Grocers. Among other potential risks, this process may result in increased costs, including insurance costs, for Symbotic.
We currently rely on certain shared services with our affiliate, C&S Wholesale Grocers, in the operation of our business. A number of these services, including certain insurance, tax and treasury services, information technology (“IT”) equipment and security systems and certain other arrangements (including other support services), are pursuant to unwritten arrangements with C&S Wholesale Grocers. We are currently in the process of entering into independent arrangements and/or agreements with C&S Wholesale Grocers with respect to these services, including with respect to the allocation of liabilities and obligations attributable to us and to C&S Wholesale Grocers under any continued shared services. This process may result in increased costs, including insurance costs, for us. In addition, if these arrangements terminate or expire and we do not enter into replacement agreements, we could suffer operational difficulties and/or significant losses.
The markets in which we participate could become more competitive and many companies, including large retail and
e-commerce
companies, companies that offer point solutions or other
end-to-end
or specific supply chain functionalities and other companies that focus on automated technologies, may target the markets in which we do business. Additionally, our customers and potential customers may develop
in-house
solutions that compete with our warehouse automation systems. If we are unable to compete effectively with these potential competitors and developments, our sales and profitability could be adversely affected.
We provide a system that offers full
robot-to-robot,
end-to-end
supply chain automation solutions. Accordingly, we compete with a number of companies that offer solutions to the retail distribution market, including companies that (i) offer point solutions such as Grey Orange, Locus Robotics, Vecna, OPEX, Fetch and Berkshire Grey; (ii) offer
end-to-end
solutions, most notably Witron, Honeywell, Dematic, Vanderlande, SSI Schaefer and Swisslog, which are composed of a disparate set of point solutions; and (iii) may offer solutions such as Exotec, Ocado and AutoStore that focus exclusively on
e-commerce.
Although we believe that our system is significantly differentiated from these offerings, the markets in which we participate may become more competitive in the future.
Our ability to compete depends on a number of factors, including:

| • |  | our warehouse automation systems’ functionality, performance, ease of use, ease of installation, reliability, availability and cost effectiveness relative to that of our competitors’ products;

| • |  | our success in utilizing new and proprietary technologies (including software) to offer solutions and features previously not available in the marketplace;

| • |  | our success in identifying new markets, applications and technologies and evolving our product to address these markets;

36

Table of Contents

| • |  | our ability to attract and retain customers;

| • |  | our name recognition and reputation; and

| • |  | our ability to obtain, maintain, protect and enforce our IP.

Our customers may also internally develop their own automated solutions for their warehouses and distribution centers. Our market may need further education on the value of automation solutions and our platform and products, and on how to integrate them into current operations. A lack of understanding as to how our automation platform and products operate may cause potential customers to prefer more traditional technologies or limited point solutions or internally-developed automated processes or to be cautious about investing in our warehouse automation systems and products. If we are unable to educate potential customers and change the market’s readiness to accept our technology, then our business, results of operations and financial condition may be harmed.
If we are unable to develop new solutions, adapt to technological change, sell our software, services and products into new markets or further penetrate our existing markets, our revenue may not grow as expected.
Our ability to increase sales will depend, in large part, on our ability to enhance and improve our warehouse automation systems, software, services and products, introduce new robotic technology and automation systems in a timely manner, sell into new markets and further penetrate our existing markets. The success of any enhancement or new warehouse automation systems, software, services and products depends on several factors, including the timely completion, introduction and market acceptance of such systems, software, services and products, and the ability to maintain and develop relationships with customers and vendors. Any new warehouse automation system, product or service we develop or acquire may not be introduced in a timely or cost-effective manner. Any new markets into which we attempt to sell our warehouse automation systems, software, services and products may not be receptive. Our ability to further penetrate our existing markets depends on the quality, availability and reliability of our warehouse automation systems, software, services and products and our ability to design our warehouse automation systems, software, services and products to meet customer demand. Similarly, if any of our potential competitors implement new technologies before we are able to implement ours, those competitors may be able to provide more effective products, possibly at lower prices. Any delay or failure in the introduction of new or enhanced solutions could harm our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.
Failure to manage our growth effectively could make it difficult to execute our business strategy and could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We have experienced rapid growth, and we are attempting to continue to grow our business substantially. To this end, we have made, and expect to continue to make, significant investments in our business, including investments in our infrastructure, technology, marketing and sales efforts. These investments include dedicated facilities expansion and increased staffing. If our business does not generate the level of revenue required to support our investment, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.
Our ability to effectively manage our anticipated growth and expansion of our operations will also require us to enhance our operational, financial and management controls and infrastructure, human resources policies and reporting systems. These enhancements and improvements will require significant capital expenditures, investments in additional headcount and other operating expenditures and allocation of valuable management and employee resources. Our future financial performance and our ability to execute on our business plan will depend, in part, on our ability to effectively manage any future growth and expansion. There are no guarantees we will be able to do so in an efficient or timely manner, or at all.

Our warehouse automation systems, software, services and products may be affected from time to time by design and manufacturing defects that could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations and result in harm to our reputation.
Our warehouse automation systems constitute complex software and hardware products and services that can be affected by design and manufacturing defects. Sophisticated automation solutions and software, such as those offered by us, may have issues that can unexpectedly interfere with the intended operation of hardware or software products. Defects may also exist in components and products that we source from third parties or the system may not be implemented or used correctly or as intended. Any such defects or incorrect implementation or use could make our warehouse automation systems, software, services and products unsafe, create a risk of property damage and personal injury, and subject us to the hazards and uncertainties of product liability claims and related litigation. In addition, from time to time, we may experience outages, service slowdowns or errors that affect our warehouse automation systems and software. As a result, our warehouse automation systems may not perform as anticipated and may not meet customer expectations. There can be no assurance that we will be able to detect and fix all issues and defects in the warehouse automation systems and other hardware, software and services we offer. Failure to do so could result in widespread technical and performance issues affecting our warehouse automation systems and services and could lead to claims against us. We maintain general liability insurance; however, design and manufacturing defects, and claims related thereto, may subject us to judgments or settlements that result in damages materially in excess of the limits of our insurance coverage. In addition, we may be exposed to recalls, product replacements or modifications, write-offs of inventory, property, plant and equipment or intangible assets, and significant warranty and other expenses such as litigation costs and regulatory fines. If we cannot successfully defend any large claim, maintain our general liability insurance on acceptable terms or maintain adequate coverage against potential claims, our financial results could be adversely impacted.
If we fail to adapt and respond effectively to rapidly changing technology, evolving industry standards and changing business needs, requirements or preferences, our products may become less competitive.
Our future business and financial success will depend on our ability to continue to anticipate the needs of current and potential customers and to enhance and improve our warehouse automation systems, software, services and products, introduce new robotic technology and automation systems in a timely manner, sell into new markets and further penetrate our existing markets. To be successful, we must be able to quickly adapt to changes in technology, industry standards and business needs of our customers by continually enhancing our technology, services and solutions. Developing new warehouse automation systems, software, services and products and upgrades to our existing warehouse automation systems, software, services and products, as well as integrating and coordinating current warehouse automation systems, software, services and products, imposes burdens on our internal teams, including management, compliance, and product development. These processes are costly, and our efforts to develop, integrate and enhance our systems, software, services and products may not be successful.
Our success also depends on our continued improvements to provide products, services and systems that are attractive to our users and customers. As a result, we must continually invest resources in product development and successfully incorporate and develop new technology. If we are unable to do so or otherwise provide warehouse automation systems, software, services and products that customers want, then our customers may become dissatisfied and use competitors’ services. If we are unable to continue offering innovative systems, software, services and products, we may be unable to attract additional customers or retain our existing customers, which could harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Inflation, tariffs, customs duties and other increases in manufacturing and operating costs could adversely affect our cash flow as well as our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our operating costs are subject to fluctuations, particularly due to changes in prices for commodities, parts, raw materials, energy and related utilities, freight and cost of labor which may be driven by inflation, prevailing
38

Table of Contents
price levels, exchange rates, changes in trade agreements and trade protection measures including tariffs and other economic factors. Our operating costs have in the past and may continue to be impacted by price inflation. The U.S. has enacted various trade actions, including imposing tariffs on certain goods we import from other countries, which has also contributed to higher costs for some commodities and raw materials. Additional tariffs imposed by the U.S., or further retaliatory trade measures taken by other countries, could increase the cost of our products that we may not be able to offset. Actions we take to mitigate volatility in manufacturing and operating costs may not be successful and, as a result, our financial condition, cash flows and results of operations could be adversely affected.
In our customer agreements, we agreed to undertake certain liability allocations as part of the negotiation process. The occurrence of such liability could disrupt our business or result in liability.
Our customer contracts, including those with our largest customers, contain allocations of liability between us and our customers, including warranty and indemnification provisions, including indemnification obligations with respect to infringement or misappropriation of third-party IP; damage, destruction, injury or property damage to our customers; and actions by Symbotic employees. The potential liabilities associated with such provisions are significant, though our customer contracts also typically contain limitations on our liability with respect to any indemnification claims. Costs, payments or damages incurred or paid by us in connection with indemnification claims could adversely affect our financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.
We may need to raise additional capital, and this capital may not be available on terms favorable to us or our stockholders, or at all, when needed.
The manufacture, integration and assembly of our warehouse automation systems are capital-intensive businesses. Our business plan to manufacture, integrate and assemble warehouse automation systems for our customers is expected to require continued capital investment to fund operations, continue research and development and improve facilities. There can be no assurance that we will have access to the capital we need on favorable terms when required or at all. If we cannot raise additional funds when we need them, our financial condition, business, prospects and results of operations could be materially adversely affected. We may raise funds through the issuance of debt securities or through loan arrangements, the terms of which could require significant interest payments, contain covenants that restrict our business or other unfavorable terms. We may also raise funds through the sale of additional equity securities, which could dilute our stockholders.
We may experience risks associated with future mergers, acquisitions or dispositions of businesses or assets or other strategic transactions.
As part of our business strategy, we may pursue mergers, acquisitions or dispositions of businesses or assets or other strategic transactions that we believe will enable us to strengthen or broaden our business. We may be unable to implement this element of our strategy if we cannot identify suitable companies, businesses or assets, reach agreement on potential strategic transactions on acceptable terms and manage the impacts of such transactions on our business or for other reasons. Moreover, mergers, acquisitions, dispositions and other strategic transactions involve various risks, including, among other things, (i) difficulties relating to integrating or disposing of a business and unanticipated changes in customer and other third-party relationships subsequent thereto, (ii) diversion of management’s attention from
day-to-day
operations, (iii) failure to realize the anticipated benefits of such transactions, such as cost savings and revenue enhancements, (iv) potentially substantial transaction costs associated with such transactions, and (v) potential impairment resulting from the overpayment for an acquisition. In addition, future mergers or acquisitions may require us to obtain additional equity or debt financing, which may not be available on attractive terms. Moreover, to the extent a transaction financed by
non-equity
consideration results in goodwill, it will reduce our tangible net worth, which might have an adverse effect on credit availability. For all these reasons, our pursuit of mergers, acquisitions or dispositions of businesses or assets or other strategic transactions could cause our actual results to differ materially from those anticipated.

If demand for our warehouse automation systems does not grow as we expect, or if market adoption of A.I.-enabled robotics and warehouse automation systems does not continue to develop, or develops more slowly than we expect, our future revenue may stagnate or decline, and our business may be adversely affected.
The warehouse automation industry is rapidly growing and developing. We may not be able to develop effective strategies to raise awareness among potential customers of the benefits of A.I.-enabled robotics and automation or our warehouse automation systems may not address the specific needs or provide the level of functionality required by potential customers to encourage the continuation of this shift towards warehouse automation. If warehouse automation technology does not continue to gain broader market acceptance as an alternative to conventional manual operations, or if the marketplace adopts warehouse automation technologies that differ from our technologies, we may not be able to increase or sustain the level of sales of our systems or retain existing customers or attract new customers, and our operating results would be adversely affected as a result.
Laws and regulations governing the robotics and warehouse automation industries are still developing and may restrict our business or increase the costs of our systems, making our systems less competitive or adversely affecting our revenue growth.
We are generally subject to laws and regulations relating to the robotics and warehouse automation industries in the jurisdictions in which we conduct our business or in some circumstances, of those jurisdictions in which we offer our warehouse automation systems, as well as the general laws and regulations that apply to all businesses, such as those related to privacy and personal information, tax and consumer protection. These laws and regulations are developing and vary from one jurisdiction to another and future legislative and regulatory action, court decisions or other governmental action, which may be affected by, among other things, political pressures, attitudes and climates, as well as personal biases, may have a material and adverse impact on our operations and financial results.
Supply chain interruptions may increase our costs or reduce our revenue.
We depend on good vendor relationships and the effectiveness of our supply chain management systems to ensure reliable and sufficient supply, on reasonably favorable terms, of materials used in our manufacturing processes. The materials we purchase and use in the ordinary course of business are sourced from a wide variety of suppliers around the world, including China, Germany, and the United States. Disruptions in the supply chain may result from the
COVID-19
pandemic or other public health crises, weather-related events, natural disasters, trade restrictions, tariffs, border controls, acts of war, terrorist attacks, third-party strikes, work stoppages or slowdowns, shipping capacity constraints, supply or shipping interruptions or other factors beyond our control. In the event of disruptions in its existing supply chain, the labor and materials we rely on in the ordinary course of its business may not be available at reasonable rates or at all. Our supply chain also depends on third-party warehouses and logistics providers. Any disruption in the supply, storage or delivery of materials could disrupt our operations, which may cause harm to our reputation and results of operations.
Risks Related to Intellectual Property
We may need to bring or defend ourselves against patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret or other intellectual property infringement or misappropriation claims, which may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations by limiting our ability to use technology or intellectual property and causing us to incur substantial costs.
We may become subject to intellectual property disputes. Our success depends, in part, on our ability to develop and commercialize our automated warehouse system without infringing, misappropriating or otherwise violating the IP of third parties. However, we may not be aware that our offering infringes, misappropriates or otherwise violates third-party IP, and such third parties may bring claims alleging such infringement, misappropriation or violation.
40

Table of Contents
Companies, organizations or individuals, including our competitors, may own or obtain patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets or other intellectual property or proprietary rights (collectively, “IP”) that would prevent or limit our ability to develop, manufacture or sell our warehouse automation systems, which could make it more difficult for us to operate our business. We may receive inquiries from IP owners inquiring whether we have infringed upon or misappropriated or violated their proprietary rights or IP, or otherwise not complied with the terms and conditions such rights may be subject to (including open source software licenses). Companies owning IP, including those relating to warehouse automation, may allege infringement, misappropriation or violation of such rights. Any litigation may also involve patent holding companies or other adverse patent owners that have no relevant product revenue, and therefore, our patent applications may provide little or no deterrence as we would not be able to assert them against such entities or individuals. If a third party obtains an injunction preventing us from using our IP, or if we cannot license or develop alternative technology for any infringing aspect of our business, we would be forced to limit or stop sales of our services or systems or cease business activities related to such IP.
In response to a determination that we have infringed upon, misappropriated or violated a third party’s IP (including through our indemnification obligations), we may be required to do one or more of the following:

| • |  | cease development, sales or use of our products that incorporate or are covered by the asserted IP;

| • |  | pay substantial damages, including through settlement payments or indemnification obligations (including legal fees);

| • |  | obtain a license from the owner of the asserted IP, which license may not be available on reasonable terms or at all; or

| • |  | redesign one or more aspects of our warehouse automation systems that is alleged to infringe, misappropriate or violate any third-party IP.

A successful claim of infringement, violation or misappropriation against us could materially adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results. Any legal proceedings or claims, whether valid or invalid, could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources. If third parties successfully oppose or challenge our trademarks or other IP or successfully claim that we infringe, misappropriate or otherwise violate their trademarks or other IP, we may be subject to liability, required to enter into costly license agreements, or required to rebrand or restrict our offering. Also, we expect that the occurrence of infringement claims is likely to grow as the market for our system grows. Accordingly, our exposure to damages resulting from infringement claims could increase, and this could further exhaust our financial and management resources.
In order to protect our IP, we may be required to spend significant resources to monitor our IP. Litigation may be necessary in the future to enforce our IP and to protect our trade secrets. Litigation brought to protect and enforce our IP could be costly, time-consuming, and distracting to management, and could result in the impairment or loss of portions of our IP. Further, our efforts to enforce our IP may be met with defenses, counterclaims, and countersuits attacking the validity and enforceability of our IP, and if such defenses, counterclaims, or countersuits are successful, we could lose our rights in and to valuable IP. Our inability to protect our proprietary technology against unauthorized copying or use, as well as any costly litigation or diversion of our management’s attention and resources, could delay further sales or the implementation of our offering and platform capabilities, impair the functionality of our offering and platform capabilities, delay introductions of new solutions, result in our substituting inferior or more costly technologies into our offering, or injure our reputation.
Our business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected and the value of our brand, products and other intangible assets may be diminished if we are unable to maintain and protect our IP (including maintaining the confidentiality and control of our proprietary source code and other trade secrets) from unauthorized use, infringement or misappropriation by third parties.
Our success depends on our ability to protect our IP (including by obtaining and enforcing our patents and trademarks and maintaining the confidentiality of our proprietary source code and other trade secrets), and the
41

Table of Contents
failure to adequately maintain, protect or enforce our IP could result in our competitors offering products or services similar or superior to ours, which would adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results. We rely on a combination of patents, trade secrets
(including know-how), employee
and third-party invention assignment and nondisclosure agreements, copyright, trademark, and other IP licenses and contractual rights to establish, maintain and protect the IP in and to our systems and technology. The measures we take to maintain and protect our IP from infringement, misappropriation or violation by others or the unauthorized disclosure of our trade secrets may not be effective for various reasons, including the following:

| • |  | any patent applications we submit or currently have pending may not result in the issuance of patents;

| • |  | the scope of our issued patents, including our patent claims, may not be broad enough to protect our proprietary rights;

| • |  | our issued patents may be challenged, invalidated or held unenforceable through administrative or legal proceedings in the U.S. or in foreign jurisdictions;

| • |  | our employees or business partners may breach their confidentiality, non-disclosure and non-use obligations to us and we may not have adequate remedies for any such breach;

| • |  | current and future competitors or third parties may reverse engineer, circumvent or design around our technology or IP or independently discover or develop technologies or software that are substantially equivalent or superior to ours;

| • |  | we may not be successful in enforcing our IP portfolio against third parties who are infringing, violating or misappropriating such IP, for a number of reasons, including substantive and procedural legal impediments;

| • |  | our trademarks may not be valid or enforceable, our efforts to protect our trademarks from unauthorized use may be deemed insufficient to satisfy legal requirements throughout the world to maintain our rights in our trademarks, and any goodwill that we have developed in those trademarks could be lost or impaired;

| • |  | the costs associated with enforcing patents, confidentiality and invention assignment agreements or other IP and IP-related agreements may make enforcement commercially impracticable or divert our management’s attention and resources; and

| • |  | our use of open source software could: (i) subject us to claims alleging that we are not compliant with such software licenses; (ii) require us to publicly release portions of our proprietary source code; and (iii) expose us to greater security risks than would the use of non-open source third-party commercial software.

Additionally, IP laws vary throughout the world. Some foreign countries do not protect IP to the same extent as do the laws of the U.S. Further, policing the unauthorized use of or enforcing our IP in foreign jurisdictions may be difficult. Therefore, as we continue to expand our international footprint, our IP may not be as strong and expansive, or as easily enforced (or even exist), outside of the U.S. Accordingly, despite our efforts, we may be unable to prevent third parties from infringing upon, misappropriating, or otherwise violating our IP.
If we are unable to adequately prevent disclosure of trade secrets or other proprietary information, the value of our technology may be diminished. We enter into confidentiality and invention assignment agreements with our employees and consultants and enter into confidentiality agreements with other third parties, including suppliers and other partners. However, we cannot guarantee that we have entered into such agreements with each party that has or may have had access to our proprietary information,
know-how
and trade secrets. Moreover, no assurance can be given that these agreements will be enforceable or will be effective in controlling access to, distribution, use, misuse, misappropriation, reverse engineering or disclosure of our proprietary information,
know-how
and trade secrets. Further, these agreements may not prevent our competitors from independently developing technologies that are substantially equivalent or superior to our offering and platform capabilities. These agreements may be breached, and we may not have adequate remedies for any such breach.

Table of Contents
Our software platform contains third-party open source software components. Certain use of such open source components with our proprietary software could adversely affect our ability to charge fees for, or otherwise protect the value of, our offerings.
Our software platform contains software modules licensed to us by third-party authors under “open source” licenses. Use and distribution of open source software may entail greater risks than use of
non-open
source third-party commercial software, as open source licensors generally do not provide support, warranties, indemnification or other contractual protections regarding infringement claims or the quality of the code. In addition, the public availability of such software may make it easier for others to compromise our platform.
Some open source licenses contain requirements that we make available source code for modifications or derivative works of our proprietary software based upon the type of open source software we use, or grant other licenses to our IP. If we combine our proprietary software with open source software in a certain manner, we could, under certain open source licenses, be required to release the source code of our proprietary software to the public. This could allow our competitors to create similar product or service offerings with lower development effort and time and ultimately could result in a loss of our competitive advantages. Alternatively, to avoid the public release of the affected portions of our source code, we could be required to expend substantial time and resources to
re-engineer
some or all of our software.
Although we monitor our use of open source software to avoid subjecting our platform to unintended conditions, the terms of many open source licenses have not been interpreted by U.S. or foreign courts, and there is a risk that these licenses could be construed in a way that could impose unanticipated conditions or restrictions on our ability to provide or distribute our platform. From time to time, there have been claims challenging the ownership of open source software against companies that incorporate open source software into their solutions. We could similarly be subject to lawsuits by parties claiming ownership of what we believe to be open source software. Moreover, we cannot assure you that our processes for controlling our use of open source software in our platform will be effective. If we are held to have breached or failed to fully comply with all the terms and conditions of an open source software license, we could face infringement or other liability which may result in an injunction against providing our offering, or be required to seek costly licenses from third parties to continue providing our offerings on terms that are not economically feasible, to
re-engineer
our platform, to discontinue or delay the provision of our offerings if
re-engineering
could not be accomplished on a timely basis or to make generally available, in source code form, our proprietary code, any of which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our patent applications may not issue or, if issued, may not provide sufficient protection, which may adversely affect our ability to prevent others from commercially exploiting products similar to ours.
We rely on our patent portfolio to protect our competitive advantages. As of September 25, 2021, we had 275 issued patents in 10 countries and an additional 144 patents pending worldwide. Our issued patents are scheduled to expire between October 2021 and December 2040. The pending patent applications are presently undergoing examination or expected to undergo examination in the near future. These patents and patent applications seek to protect our proprietary inventions relevant to our business (including our revolutionary distribution center structure, our depalletizing tool and other software and hardware components related to our system), in addition to other proprietary technologies (including source code) which are primarily maintained as trade secrets. We intend to pursue additional IP protection to the extent we believe it would be beneficial and cost-effective. We make business decisions about when to seek patent protection for a particular technology and when to rely upon copyright or trade secret protection, and the approach we select may ultimately prove to be inadequate. Even in cases where we seek patent protection, there is no assurance that the resulting patents will effectively protect every significant feature of our
point-to-point
warehouse solutions or other automated or robotic-assisted distribution systems.
Even if we continue to seek patent protection in the future, we may be unable to obtain or maintain patent protection for our technology. There may be issued patents of which we are not aware, held by third parties that,
43

Table of Contents
if found to be valid and enforceable, could be alleged to be infringed by our current or future technologies or offerings. There also may be pending patent applications of which we are not aware that may result in issued patents, which could be alleged to be infringed by our current or future technologies or offerings. Furthermore, legal standards relating to the validity, enforceability and scope of protection of IP rights are uncertain. Despite our precautions, it may be possible for unauthorized third parties to copy our offering and use information that we regard as proprietary to create products that compete with ours.
We also cannot be certain that we are the first inventor of the subject matter for which we have filed a particular patent application, or if we are the first party to file such a patent application. If another party has invented or filed a patent application with respect to the same subject matter as we have, we may not be entitled to the protection sought by our applicable patent applications. We also cannot be certain that all the claims included in a patent application will ultimately be allowed in the applicable issued patent. Further, the scope of protection provided by issued patent claims is often difficult to determine. As a result, we cannot be certain that the patent applications that we file will issue, or that our issued patents will afford protection against competitors with similar technology. In addition, even if all of our patent claims are allowed and cover their intended scope, our competitors may circumvent or design around our issued patents, which may adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results. Finally, our issued patents may be challenged and invalidated.
Risks Related to Cybersecurity, Software Deficiencies, Service Interruptions and Data Privacy
We have experienced cybersecurity incidents in the past and may experience further cybersecurity incidents or security breaches of our systems or IT in the future, which may result in system disruptions, shutdowns or unauthorized access to or disclosure of confidential or personal information.
We rely heavily on IT and operational technology (“OT”) in our warehouse automation systems and other products, systems, solutions and services for customers, and in our enterprise infrastructure. Despite the implementation of security measures, our IT and OT systems may be subject to unauthorized access or harm by nation states, cyber-criminals, malicious insiders and other actors who may engage in fraud, theft of confidential or proprietary information, sabotage or other criminal activity. Our IT and OT systems could be compromised by malware (including ransomware), cyber-attacks and other events, or as a result of error or system failure. Hardware and software that we procure or rely upon from third parties may also contain defects or vulnerabilities in manufacture or design that could expose our systems to a risk of compromise. In addition, our software platform contains third-party open source components, which may expose us to greater security risks than the use of
non-open
source third-party commercial software.
We have experienced cyber threats and incidents in the past, although none have been material or had a material adverse effect on our business or financial condition
.
In the past, an unauthorized actor gained access to our IT system, which resulted in certain information being accessed and exfiltrated, including human resources and employee data. Information that may have been subject to unauthorized access includes names, addresses and Social Security Numbers of employees. We may experience additional cybersecurity incidents and security breaches in the future. Additionally, due to the ongoing
COVID-19
pandemic, certain functional areas of our workforce remain in a remote work environment and such an environment may be outside of our corporate network security protection boundaries, which imposes additional risks to our business, including increased risk of industrial espionage, phishing and other cybersecurity attacks, and unauthorized dissemination of sensitive, proprietary or confidential information.
Our business also uses IT resources on a dispersed basis for a wide variety of key functions including product and software development, engineering, manufacturing, sales, accounting, human resources and IT security. Our vendors, partners, employees and customers have access to, and share, information across multiple locations via various digital technologies. In addition, we rely on partners and vendors, including cloud providers, for a wide range of outsourced activities as part of our IT infrastructure and our commercial offerings.
44

Table of Contents
Secure connectivity is important to these ongoing operations. Also, our partners and vendors frequently have access to our confidential information as well as confidential information about our customers, employees and others. We design our security architecture to reduce the risk that a compromise of our partners’ data or infrastructure, for example a cloud platform, could lead to a compromise of our internal systems or customer networks, but this risk cannot be eliminated and vulnerabilities at third parties could result in unknown risk exposure to our business. Any significant security incident could have an adverse impact on sales, interrupt or delay our ability to operate or service our customers, harm our reputation and cause us to incur legal liability and increased costs to address such events and related security concerns.
Our ability to efficiently manage and expand our business depends significantly on the reliability, capacity and protection of our systems and IT. Real or perceived failures or security breaches of our systems and IT could disrupt our operations, lead to loss of proprietary information, damage our relationships with customers, result in regulatory investigations and penalties, lead to liability, negatively impact our reputation and otherwise adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our systems, hardware and software products, solutions and services are used by our customers in applications that may be subject to information theft, tampering, vulnerabilities or sabotage. Careless or malicious actors could cause a customer’s supply chain processes to be disrupted or could cause equipment to operate in an improper manner that could result in harm to people or property. While we continue to improve the security attributes of our warehouse automation systems, software, services and products, we can reduce risk but not eliminate it. To a significant extent, the security of our customers’ systems depends on how those systems are designed, installed, protected, configured, updated and monitored, and much of this is typically outside our control. In addition, the software supply chain introduces security vulnerabilities into many products across the industry.
The current cyber threat environment indicates increased risk for all companies, including those in supply chain automation. Any significant security incident could have an adverse impact on sales, interrupt or delay our ability to operate or service our customers, harm our reputation and cause us to incur legal liability and increased costs to address such events and related security concerns. Cybersecurity incidents may also compromise third parties upon which we rely for our operations, and we are limited in our ability to prevent or mitigate those compromises.
If such an event results in unauthorized access to or loss of any data subject to data privacy and security laws and regulations, then we could be subject to substantial fines by U.S. federal and state authorities, foreign data privacy authorities around the world and private claims by companies or individuals. A cyber-attack may cause additional costs, such as investigative and remediation costs, and the costs of providing individuals and/or data owners with notice of the breach, legal fees, and the costs of any additional fraud detection activities required by law, a court or a third-party. Further, if a high profile security breach occurs with respect to another provider of supply chain automation solutions, our customers and potential customers may lose trust in the security of our services or in the supply chain automation industry generally, which could adversely impact our ability to retain existing customers or attract new ones. Even in the absence of any security breach, customer concerns about security, privacy or data protection may deter them from using our software, services and products, which could negatively impact our reputation and otherwise adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
A breach of our systems or IT that results in unauthorized access to personal information could require us to notify affected employees, customers and other persons (including governmental organizations) and lead to lawsuits and investigations alleging breaches of applicable laws or regulations.
We may collect and process certain personal information of our customers or customers’ customers in connection with our business. Additionally, we collect and otherwise process other data relating to individuals, including business partners, prospects, employees, vendors and contractors. Although we take steps to protect the
45

Table of Contents
security of our customers’ personal information and other personal information within our control, we may face actual or perceived breaches of security, security incidents or other misuses of this information, and many jurisdictions have enacted laws requiring companies to notify individuals, regulatory authorities and others of security breaches involving certain types of data. We may be required to expend significant resources to comply with security breach and security incident notification requirements if a third party accesses or acquires such personal information without authorization, if we otherwise experience a security breach or incident or loss or damage of personal information, or if this is perceived to have occurred. Any actual or perceived breach of our network security or systems, or those of our vendors or service providers, could result in claims, litigation and proceedings against us by governmental entities, customers, individuals or others, have negative effects on our business and future prospects, including possible fines, penalties and damages, and could result in reduced demand for our energy storage products and harm to our reputation and brand, resulting in negative impacts to our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We depend and rely upon technologies from third parties (including cloud-based technologies) to operate our business, and interruptions of or performance or security problems with these technologies or the termination of relationships with the providers of these technologies may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We rely on partners and vendors, including cloud providers, for a wide range of outsourced activities as part of our internal IT infrastructure and our commercial offerings. If these services become unavailable due to extended outages or interruptions or because they are no longer available on commercially reasonable terms, our expenses could increase, our ability to manage finances could be interrupted and our processes for managing sales of our automated warehouse system and supporting our customers could be impaired until equivalent services, if available, are identified, obtained and implemented, all of which could adversely affect our business and results of operations.
Real or perceived errors, failures, bugs or defects in our systems or IT could adversely lead to liability and litigation, disrupt our operations and could negatively impact our reputation and otherwise adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our automated warehouse systems are complex and, like all complicated systems that depend on software and hardware, may contain undetected defects or errors. We are continuing to evolve the features and functionality of our automated warehouse systems through updates and enhancements, and as we do so, we may introduce additional defects or errors that may not be detected until after deployment by our customers. Moreover, if we acquire companies or integrate into our platform technologies developed by third parties, we may encounter difficulty in incorporating the newly-obtained technologies into our platform and maintaining the quality standards that are consistent with our reputation. In addition, if our automated warehouse system is not implemented or used correctly or as intended, inadequate performance and disruptions in service may result. Because our customers use our automated warehouse system for important aspects of their business, any actual or perceived errors, defects, bugs, or other performance problems in our system could damage our customers’ businesses. Any defects or errors in our automated warehouse systems, generally, or the perception of such defects or errors, could result in a loss of existing or potential customers and delayed or lost revenue and could damage our reputation or lead to liability or litigation.
In addition, errors in our software or hardware that supports our automated warehouse systems, generally, could cause system failures, loss of data or other adverse effects for our customers who may assert warranty and other claims for substantial damages against us. Although our agreements with our customers often contain provisions that seek to limit our exposure to such claims, it is possible that these provisions may not be effective or enforceable under the laws of some jurisdictions. While we seek to insure against these types of claims, our insurance policies may not adequately limit our exposure to such claims. These claims, even if unsuccessful, could be costly and time consuming to defend and could harm our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
46

Table of Contents
Our business requires the collection, use, handling, processing, transfer and storage of employee and customer data, and such activities may be regulated by third-party agreements and our own privacy policies as well as certain federal, state and foreign laws and regulations.
Our handling of customer and employee data is subject to a variety of laws and regulations relating to privacy, data protection and cybersecurity, and we may become subject to additional obligations, including contractual obligations, relating to our maintenance and other processing of this data, and new or modified laws or regulations. Any actual or alleged failure by us to comply with our privacy policy or any federal, state or international privacy, data protection or security laws or regulations or other obligations could result in claims and litigation against us, regulatory investigations and other proceedings, legal liability, fines, damages and other costs. Any actual or alleged failure by any of our vendors or business partners to comply with contractual or legal obligations regarding the protection of information about our customers could carry similar consequences. Should we become subject to additional privacy or data protection laws, regulations, or other obligations relating to privacy, data protection or cybersecurity, we may need to undertake compliance efforts that could carry a large cost and could entail substantial time and other resources.
In addition, we publish privacy policies and other documentation regarding our collection, use, disclosure, and other processing of personal information. Although we endeavor to adhere to these policies and documentation, we and the third parties on which we rely may at times fail to do so or may be perceived to have failed to do so. Such failures or perceived failures could subject us to regulatory enforcement action as well as costly legal claims by affected individuals or our customers.
Numerous states and the federal government have enacted, or are considering enacting, increasingly complex and rigorous privacy, information security and data protection laws and regulations that could have a significant impact on our current and planned privacy, data protection and information security-related practices. In addition, monitoring and complying with these laws and regulations may be expensive and disruptive to our business, and our real or perceived failure to comply with them could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We, our customers, and third parties whom we work with are subject to numerous evolving and increasingly stringent foreign and domestic laws and requirements relating to privacy, data security, and data protection that are increasing the cost and complexity of operating our business. Compliance with state, federal and foreign privacy regulations, such as the California Consumer Privacy Act or the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation, could increase our operating costs as part of our efforts to protect and safeguard our sensitive data and personal information. Failure to maintain information privacy could result in legal liability or reputational harm.
We strive to comply with applicable privacy, data security, and data protection laws and requirements, but we cannot fully determine the impact that current or future such laws and requirements may have on our business or operations. Such laws or requirements may be inconsistent from one jurisdiction to another, subject to differing interpretations, and courts or regulators may deem our efforts to comply as insufficient. If we or the third parties we rely on to operate our business and deliver our services fail to comply, or are perceived as failing to comply, with our legal or contractual obligations relating to privacy, data security, or data protection, or our policies and documentation relating to personal information, we could face: governmental enforcement action; litigation with our customers, individuals or others; fines and civil or criminal penalties for us or company officials; obligations to cease offering our services or to substantially modify them in ways that make them less effective in certain jurisdictions; negative publicity and harm to our brand and reputation; and reduced overall demand for our services. Such developments could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Risks Related to SVF 3 and the Business Combination
In this section, “we,” “us” and “our” refer to SVF 3 prior to the Business Combination and to Symbotic Inc., or the Post-Combination Company, following the Business Combination.
47

Table of Contents
SVF 3 shareholders will have a reduced ownership and voting interest after the Business Combination and will exercise less influence over management.
Upon the issuance of the merger consideration to Warehouse unitholders, current SVF 3 shareholders’ percentage ownership will be diluted. Assuming No Redemptions, Symbotic Inc. is expected to own approximately 14.1% of the New Symbotic Holdings Common Units and the current Warehouse unitholders are expected to own approximately 85.9% of the New Symbotic Holdings Common Units. Assuming Maximum Redemptions, Symbotic Inc. is expected to own approximately 8.8% of the New Symbotic Holdings Common Units and the current Warehouse unitholders are expected to own approximately 91.2% of the New Symbotic Holdings Common Units. Additionally, of the expected members of the
Post-Combination
Company’s Board after the completion of the Business Combination, none of the current directors of SVF 3 will remain a director and only one director will be an affiliate of SoftBank Investment Advisers and six will be current managers of Warehouse. The percentage of the
Post-Combination
Company’s common stock that will be owned by current SVF 3 shareholders as a group will vary based on the number of Public Shares for which the holders thereof request redemption in connection with the Business Combination. To illustrate the potential ownership percentages of current SVF 3 shareholders under different redemption levels, based on the number of issued and outstanding SVF 3 ordinary shares and Warehouse Units on May 23, 2022, and based on the merger consideration, current SVF 3 shareholders, as a group, will own (1) if there are No Redemptions, 6.8% of the
Post-Combination
Company’s Class A common stock expected to be outstanding immediately after the Business Combination or (2) if there are Maximum Redemptions of the outstanding Public Shares, 1.1% of the
Post-Combination
Company’s common stock expected to be outstanding immediately after the Business Combination. Because of this, current SVF 3 shareholders, as a group, will have less influence on the Board, management and policies of the
Post-Combination
Company than they now have on the board of directors, management and policies of SVF 3.
The Sponsor and SVF 3’s directors, officers and their affiliates may elect to purchase Public Shares, which may influence a vote on the Business Combination and reduce the public “float” of SVF 3’s Class A ordinary shares.
The Sponsor and SVF 3’s directors and officers collectively control 22.3% of the outstanding ordinary shares of SVF 3. If we seek shareholder approval of the Business Combination and we do not conduct redemptions in connection with the Business Combination pursuant to the tender offer rules, the Sponsor and SVF 3’s directors, officers or their affiliates may purchase additional Public Shares in privately negotiated transactions or in the open market either prior to or following the completion of the Business Combination, although they are under no obligation to do so, provided that any such purchases would only be made in compliance with the Exchange Act and the applicable rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. However, other than as expressly stated herein, they have no current commitments, plans or intentions to engage in such transactions and have not formulated any terms or conditions for any such transactions. None of the funds in the Trust Account will be used to redeem Public Shares held by the Sponsor or SVF 3’s directors, officers or their affiliates.
In the event that the Sponsor and SVF 3’s directors, officers or their affiliates purchase Public Shares in privately negotiated transactions from Public Shareholders who have already elected to exercise their redemption rights, such selling shareholders would be required to revoke their prior elections to redeem their Public Shares. To the extent that the redemption of Public Shares would constitute a tender offer under the Exchange Act, any purchases of Public Shares by the Sponsor and SVF 3’s directors, officers and their affiliates outside of the tender offer will be made in compliance with the rules, regulations and interpretations promulgated by the SEC with respect to such purchases and any Public Shares purchased by the Sponsor or SVF 3’s directors, officers or their affiliates during the tender offer period but outside of the tender offer will not be voted in favor of the Business Combination. Any such purchases of SVF 3’s Public Shares may result in the completion of the Business Combination that may not otherwise have been possible.

In addition, if such purchases are made, the public “float” of SVF 3’s ordinary shares and the number of beneficial holders of SVF 3’s ordinary shares may be reduced, possibly making it difficult to maintain or obtain the quotation, listing or trading of SVF 3’s ordinary shares on a national securities exchange.
The market price of shares of the
Post-Combination
Company’s common stock after the Business Combination may be affected by factors different from those currently affecting the prices of shares of SVF 3’s Class A ordinary shares.
Upon completion of the Business Combination, holders of shares of SVF 3 will become holders of the Post-Combination Company’s Class A common stock. Prior to the Business Combination, SVF 3’s operations have been limited to the identification of a suitable target for a business combination. Upon completion of the Business Combination, the
Post-Combination
Company’s results of operations will depend upon the performance of Symbotic’s businesses, which are affected by factors that are different from those currently affecting the results of operations of SVF 3.
If the Business Combination’s benefits do not meet the expectations of financial analysts, the market price of Post-Combination Company’s Class A common stock may decline.
The market price of our shares may decline as a result of the Business Combination if we do not achieve the perceived benefits of the Business Combination as rapidly, or to the extent anticipated by, financial analysts or the effect of the Business Combination on our financial results is not consistent with the expectations of financial analysts. Accordingly, holders of SVF 3’s Class A ordinary shares following the consummation of the Business Combination may experience a loss as a result of a decline in the market price of the Post-Combination Company’s Class A common stock. In addition, a decline in the market price of the Post-Combination Company’s Class A common stock following the consummation of the Business Combination could adversely affect our ability to issue additional securities and to obtain additional financing in the future.
The consummation of the Business Combination is subject to a number of conditions and if those conditions are not satisfied or waived, the Merger Agreement may be terminated in accordance with its terms and the Business Combination may not be completed.
The Merger Agreement is subject to a number of conditions which must be fulfilled in order to complete the Business Combination. Those conditions include: approval of the Merger Agreement by SVF 3 shareholders and by Warehouse unitholders; approval of the proposals required to effect the Business Combination by SVF 3 shareholders (including the approval of the Domestication); the absence of orders prohibiting completion of the Business Combination; the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this proxy statement/prospectus is a part; approval of the shares of Class A common stock to be issued to Warehouse unitholders and SVF 3 shareholders for listing on NASDAQ; the requirement that SVF 3 have $350,000,000 in Closing SVF Cash; the consummation of the sale of the Post-Combination Company’s Class A common stock under the Subscription Agreements of at least $50,000,000; SVF 3 having at least $5,000,001 of net tangible assets (as determined in accordance with Rule
3a51-1(g)(1)
of the Exchange Act) after giving effect to the redemptions of Public Shares in connection with the Business Combination; the effectiveness of the Company Reorganization; the resignation of certain directors and officers of SVF 3, the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Forward Purchase Agreement; the accuracy of the representations and warranties by both parties (subject to the materiality standards set forth in the Merger Agreement), and the performance by both parties of their covenants and agreements. These conditions to the Closing may not be fulfilled in a timely manner or at all, and, accordingly, the Business Combination may not be completed. In addition, SVF 3 and Warehouse can mutually decide to terminate the Merger Agreement at any time, before or after their respective shareholder or unitholder approvals, or SVF 3 or Warehouse may elect to terminate the Merger Agreement in certain other circumstances. See
“The Merger Agreement—Termination.”

Termination of the Merger Agreement could negatively impact SVF 3.
If the Business Combination is not completed for any reason, including as a result of Warehouse unitholders declining to adopt the Merger Agreement or SVF 3 shareholders declining to approve the proposals required to effect the Business Combination, the ongoing business of SVF 3 may be adversely impacted and, without realizing any of the anticipated benefits of completing the Business Combination, SVF 3 would be subject to a number of risks, including the following:

| • |  | SVF 3 may experience negative reactions from the financial markets, including negative impacts on its stock price (including to the extent that the current market price reflects a market assumption that the Business Combination will be completed);

| • |  | SVF 3 will have incurred substantial expenses and will be required to pay certain costs relating to the Business Combination, whether or not the Business Combination is completed; and

| • |  | since the Merger Agreement restricts the conduct of SVF 3’s business prior to completion of the Business Combination, SVF 3 may not have been able to take certain actions during the pendency of the Business Combination that would have benefitted it as an independent company, and the opportunity to take such actions may no longer be available (see the section titled “ The Merger Agreement—Covenants and Agreements ” for a description of the restrictive covenants applicable to SVF 3).

If the Merger Agreement is terminated and the SVF 3 Board seeks another merger or business combination, SVF 3 shareholders cannot be certain that SVF 3 will be able to find another acquisition target that would constitute a business combination that such other merger or business combination will be completed. See
“The Merger Agreement—Termination.”
Symbotic will be subject to business uncertainties and contractual restrictions while the Business Combination is pending.
Uncertainty about the effect of the Business Combination on employees and customers may have an adverse effect on Symbotic and consequently on SVF 3. These uncertainties may impair Symbotic’s ability to attract, retain and motivate key personnel until the Business Combination is completed and could cause customers and others that deal with Symbotic to seek to change existing business relationships with Symbotic. Retention of certain employees may be challenging during the pendency of the Business Combination as certain employees may experience uncertainty about their future roles. If key employees depart because of issues relating to the uncertainty and difficulty of integration or a desire not to remain with the business, our business following the Business Combination could be negatively impacted. In addition, the Merger Agreement restricts Symbotic from making certain expenditures and taking other specified actions without the consent of SVF 3 until the Business Combination occurs. These restrictions may prevent Symbotic from pursuing attractive business opportunities that may arise prior to the completion of the Business Combination. See
“The Merger Agreement—Covenants and Agreements.
”
SVF 3 directors and officers may have interests in the Business Combination different from the interests of SVF 3 shareholders.
Officers of SVF 3 negotiated the terms of the Merger Agreement with their counterparts at Symbotic, and the SVF 3 Board determined that entering into the Merger Agreement was in the best interests of SVF 3, declared the Merger Agreement advisable and recommended that SVF 3 shareholders approve the proposals required to effect the Business Combination. In considering these facts and the other information contained in this proxy statement/prospectus, you should be aware that SVF 3’s directors and officers may have financial interests in the Business Combination that may be different from, or in addition to, the interests of SVF 3 shareholders. These interests include, among other things, the interests listed below:

| • |  | The Articles provide that SVF 3 renounce its interest or expectancy in any corporate opportunity about which any director or officer of SVF 3 acquires knowledge unless such opportunity is expressly offered

50

Table of Contents

| to such person solely in his or her capacity as SVF 3’s director or officer and such opportunity is one that the Company is able to complete on a reasonable basis. Certain of SVF 3’s officers and directors have, and any of them in the future may have additional, fiduciary or contractual obligations to other entities that are sponsored by affiliates of the Sponsor. SVF 3 does not believe, however, that such pre-existing fiduciary duties or contractual obligations of its officers and directors materially affected its search for an acquisition target.

| • |  | If the Business Combination with Symbotic or another business combination is not consummated within the Completion Window, SVF 3 will cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, redeeming 100% of the outstanding Public Shares for cash and, subject to the approval of its remaining shareholders and the SVF 3 Board, dissolving and liquidating. In such event, the 8,000,000 Founder Shares held by SVF 3’s Initial Shareholders which were acquired for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000 prior to the SVF 3 IPO, would be worthless because SVF 3’s Initial Shareholders are not entitled to participate in any redemption or distribution with respect to such shares. Such Founder Shares had an aggregate market value of $79,280,000 based upon the closing price of $9.91 per Class A ordinary share on NASDAQ on April 25, 2022, the SVF 3 Record Date. Certain Founder Shares are subject to certain performance-based vesting provisions as described under “ The Business Combination—Other Agreements—Sponsor Letter Agreement. ”

| • |  | Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, SVF 3 consummated a private sale of 1,040,000 Class A ordinary shares (the “Private Placement”) at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Share to our Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of approximately $10,400,000. If we do not consummate a business combination transaction within the Completion Window, then the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Shares will be part of the liquidating distribution to the Public Shareholders and the Private Placement Shares held by the Sponsor will be worthless.

| • |  | If SVF 3 is unable to complete a business combination within the Completion Window, its officers will be personally liable under certain circumstances described herein to ensure that the proceeds in the Trust Account are not reduced by the claims of target businesses or claims of vendors or other entities that are owed money by SVF 3 for services rendered or contracted for or products sold to SVF 3. If SVF 3 consummates a business combination, on the other hand, SVF 3 will be liable for all such claims.

| • |  | SVF 3’s directors and officers and their affiliates are entitled to reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection with certain activities on SVF 3’s behalf, such as identifying and investigating possible business targets and business combinations. However, if SVF 3 fails to consummate a business combination within the Completion Window, they will not have any claim against the Trust Account for such reimbursement. Accordingly, SVF 3 may not be able to reimburse these expenses if the Business Combination or another business combination is not consummated within the Completion Window.

| • |  | The continued indemnification of current directors and officers and the continuation of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance.

| • |  | Our Sponsor, officers and directors collectively (including entities controlled by officers and directors) have made an aggregate investment of $11,550,000, or $1.26 per SVF 3 ordinary share (including the 8,000,000 Founder Shares, the 1,040,000 Private Placement Shares and the purchase of 112,500 Public Shares in connection with the SVF 3 IPO). Such shares had an aggregate market value of $90,701,275 based upon the closing price of $9.91 per Class A ordinary share on NASDAQ on April 25, 2022, the SVF 3 Record Date (of which 150,000 Founder Shares and 112,500 Public Shares were held by our directors and officers, which had an aggregate market value of $2,601,375 based upon the closing price of $9.91 per Class A ordinary share on NASDAQ on April 25, 2022, the SVF 3 Record Date). As a result of the significantly lower investment per share of our Sponsor, directors and officers as compared with the investment per share of our Public Shareholders, a transaction which results in an increase in the value of the investment of our Sponsor, directors and officers may result in a decrease in

51

Table of Contents

| the value of the investment of our Public Shareholders. These interests could, in theory, incentivize our Sponsor, directors and officers to complete a business combination with a less favorable target company or on terms less favorable to stockholders rather than liquidate.

| • |  | There will be no liquidating distributions from our Trust Account with respect to the Founder Shares or the Private Placement Shares if we fail to complete a business combination within the Completion Window. Our Sponsor purchased the Founder Shares prior to the SVF 3 IPO for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000, and transferred 50,000 Founder Shares to each of Michael Carpenter, Michael Tobin and Cristiana Falcone for aggregate consideration of $300.

| • |  | Following the Closing, the Sponsor would be entitled to the repayment of any Working Capital Loans and advances that have been made to SVF 3 and remain outstanding. On August 10, 2021, the Sponsor agreed to loan SVF 3 $2.0 million as a Working Capital Loan. On November 9, 2021, the Sponsor and SVF 3 agreed to amend this loan to increase the commitment by $1.0 million. If SVF 3 does not complete an initial business combination within the Completion Window, SVF 3 may use a portion of its working capital 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. Up to $2,000,000 of such loans may be convertible into Class A ordinary shares of the post-business combination entity at a price of $10.00 per share at the option of the lender.

| • |  | Our Initial Shareholders and our directors and officers have agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their Founders Shares and will not have rights to liquidating distributions with respect to their Private Placement Shares if SVF 3 fails to complete a business combination within the Completion Window.

| • |  | As of October 31, 2021, Walmart, Symbotic’s largest customer, holds a majority of the outstanding equity interests of Flipkart Internet Pvt Ltd, a company in which SoftBank Vision Fund II, an affiliate of SBIA, holds a minority interest.

| • |  | In order to protect the amounts held in our Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to us if and to the extent any claims by a vendor for services rendered or products sold to us, or a prospective target business with which we have entered into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in our Trust Account. This liability will not apply with respect to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in SVF 3’s Trust Account or to any claims under our indemnity of the underwriters of the offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

In addition, if we are able to complete a business combination within the Completion Window, our Initial Stockholders may receive a positive return on the 8,000,000 Founder Shares, which were acquired by our Sponsor for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000 prior to the SVF 3 IPO, and the 1,040,000 Private Placement Shares, which were acquired for an aggregate purchase price of $10,400,000 with the completion of the SVF 3 IPO, even if our Public Shareholders experience a negative return on their investment in our Class A ordinary shares after consummation of the Business Combination. However, if we are unable to complete our initial business combination within the Completion Window, our Sponsor may lose their investment of $13,424,700 made in respect of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Shares and Working Capital Loans.
The SVF 3 board of directors and the audit committee thereof was aware of and considered these interests, among other matters, in reaching the determination to approve the terms of the Business Combination and in recommending to SVF 3’s shareholders that they vote to approve the Business Combination. See
“The Business Combination—Interests of SVF 3’s Directors and Officers in the Business Combination.”
52

Table of Contents
Our Initial Stockholders may receive a positive return on the 8,000,000 Founder shares and 1,040,000 Private Placement Shares even if our Public Shareholders experience a negative return on their investment after consummation of the Business Combination.
If SVF 3 is able to complete a business combination within the Completion Window, our Initial Stockholders may receive a positive return on the 8,000,000 Founder Shares, which were acquired by our Sponsor for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000 prior to the SVF 3 IPO, and the 1,040,000 Private Placement Shares, which were acquired for an aggregate purchase price of $10,400,000 with the completion of the SVF 3 IPO, even if our Public Shareholders experience a negative return on their investment in our Class A ordinary shares after consummation of the Business Combination.
Neither the SVF 3 Board nor any committee thereof obtained a fairness opinion or a third-party valuation in determining whether or not to pursue the Business Combination.
Neither the SVF 3 Board nor any committee thereof obtained an opinion from an independent investment banking or accounting firm that the price that SVF 3 is paying for Symbotic is fair to SVF 3 from a financial point of view. Nor did the SVF 3 Board or any committee thereof obtain a third-party valuation in connection with the Business Combination. In analyzing the Business Combination, the SVF 3 Board and management conducted due diligence on Symbotic. The SVF 3 Board reviewed, among other things, financial due diligence materials prepared by professional advisors, financial and market data and information on selected comparable companies, financial performance of Symbotic, valuation of Symbotic in its prior financings and the financial terms set forth in the Merger Agreement, and concluded that the Business Combination was in the best interest of SVF 3 shareholders. Accordingly, investors will be relying solely on the judgment of the SVF 3 Board and
management in valuing Symbotic, and the SVF 3 Board and management may not have properly valued Symbotic’s business. The lack of a fairness opinion or third-party valuation may also lead an increased number of shareholders to vote against the Business Combination or demand redemption of their Class A ordinary shares, which could potentially adversely impact SVF 3’s ability to consummate the Business Combination.
In evaluating a prospective target business for our initial business combination, our management has relied on the availability of all of the funds from the sale of the Forward Purchase Shares to be used as part of the consideration to the sellers in the initial business combination. If the sale of some or all of the Forward Purchase Shares fails to close, for any reason, we may lack sufficient funds to consummate our initial business combination.
We have entered into the Forward Purchase Agreement pursuant to which the Forward Purchase Investor has agreed to purchase an aggregate of $150,000,000 of committed Forward Purchase Shares for a purchase price of $10.00 per share. The Forward Purchase Agreement also provides that the Forward Purchase Investor may elect to purchase up to an additional $50,000,000 of Forward Purchase Shares, which will also have a purchase price of $10.00 per share. Any elections to purchase up to 5,000,000 additional Forward Purchase Shares will take place in one or more private placements in such amounts and at such time as the Forward Purchase Investor determines, but no later than simultaneously with the closing of our initial business combination. The Forward Purchase Investor has elected to purchase 5,000,000 additional Forward Purchase Shares for aggregate proceeds of $50,000,000 immediately prior to the Closing. SVF 3 and the Forward Purchase Investor may determine, by mutual agreement, to increase the number of additional Forward Purchase Shares at any time prior to our initial business combination. The funds from the sale of Forward Purchase Shares may be used as part of the consideration to the sellers in the Business Combination, expenses in connection with the Business Combination or for working capital in the Post-Combination Company. The obligations under the Forward Purchase Agreement will not depend on whether any Public Shareholders elect to redeem their shares and provide us with a minimum funding level for the Business Combination.
If the sale of some or all of the Forward Purchase Shares does not close for any reason, including by reason of the failure by the Forward Purchase Investor to fund the purchase price for their Forward Purchase Shares, we
53

Table of Contents
may lack sufficient funds to consummate the Business Combination and may fail to satisfy the Minimum Cash Condition. The Forward Purchase Investor’s obligations to purchase the Forward Purchase Shares will be subject to termination prior to the closing of the sale of the Forward Purchase Shares by mutual written consent of SVF 3 and the Forward Purchase Investor. The Forward Purchase Investor’s obligations to purchase its Forward Purchase Shares will be subject to fulfillment of customary closing conditions. In the event of any such failure to fund by the Forward Purchase Investor, any obligation is so terminated or any such closing condition is not satisfied and not waived by the Forward Purchase Investor, we may lack sufficient funds to consummate the Business Combination. The consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Forward Purchase Agreement is a closing condition under the Merger Agreement that may only be waived by Warehouse. If we are not able to satisfy this condition, we may be unable to consummate the Business Combination.
In evaluating a prospective target business for our initial business combination, our management has relied on the availability of all of the funds from the PIPE Investment in connection with the initial business combination. If the some or all of the PIPE Investment fails to close, for any reason, we may lack sufficient funds to consummate our initial business combination.
In connection with the entry into the Merger Agreement, we entered into the Subscription Agreements pursuant to which the Subscribers agreed to purchase an aggregate of 20,500,000 shares of Class A common stock of the Post-Combination Company for a purchase price of $10.00 per share, or $205,000,000 in the aggregate. The funds from the PIPE Investment may be used as part of the expenses in connection with the Business Combination or for working capital in the Post-Combination Company. The obligations under the Subscription Agreements do not depend on whether any Public Shareholders elect to redeem their shares and provide us with a minimum funding level for the Business Combination. However, if some or all of the PIPE Investment does not close for any reason, including by reason of the failure by some or all of the Subscribers, as applicable, to fund the purchase price for their respective shares of the Post-Combination Company’s Class A common stock, for example, we may lack sufficient funds to consummate the Business Combination. The Subscriber’s obligations to purchase the Post-Combination Company’s Class A common stock are subject to fulfillment of customary closing conditions. The Subscriber’s obligations to purchase subscription shares pursuant to the subscription agreements are subject to termination prior to the closing of the sale of such stock automatically upon termination of the Merger Agreement. In the event of any such failure to fund by a Subscriber, any obligation is so terminated or any such condition is not satisfied and not waived by such Subscriber, we may not be able to obtain additional funds to account for such shortfall on terms favorable to us or at all. Any such shortfall may also reduce the amount of funds that we have available for working capital of the Post-Combination Company and may result in the failure to satisfy the Minimum Cash Condition, which may consequently result in a failure to consummate the Business Combination.
The Business Combination will result in changes to the board of directors that may affect our strategy.
If the parties complete the Business Combination and the Director Election Proposal is approved, the composition of the
Post-Combination
Company’s board of directors will change from the current board of directors of SVF 3. The board of directors of the
Post-Combination
Company will consist of the directors elected pursuant to the Director Election Proposal. This new composition of the
Post-Combination
Company board of directors may affect our business strategy and operating decisions upon the completion of the Business Combination.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information included in this proxy statement/prospectus is preliminary and the actual financial condition and results of operations after the Business Combination may differ materially.
The unaudited pro forma financial information included in this proxy statement/prospectus is presented for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of what our actual financial position or results of operations would have been had the Business Combination been completed on the date(s) indicated. The

preparation of the pro forma financial information is based upon available information and certain assumptions and estimates that SVF 3 and Symbotic currently believe are reasonable. The unaudited pro forma financial information reflects adjustments, which are based upon preliminary estimates, among other things, to allocate the purchase price to Symbotic’s net assets. The purchase price allocation reflected in this proxy statement/prospectus is preliminary, and the final allocation of the purchase price will be based upon the actual purchase price and the fair value of the assets and liabilities of Symbotic as of the date of the completion of the Business Combination. In addition, following the completion of the Business Combination, there may be further refinements of the purchase price allocation as additional information becomes available. Accordingly, the final purchase accounting adjustments may differ materially from the pro forma adjustments reflected in this proxy statement/prospectus. See “
Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information.
”
SVF 3 has identified a material weakness in its internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021. If we are unable to develop and maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results in a timely manner and may face litigation and other risks, which may adversely affect investor confidence in us and materially and adversely affect our business and operating results.
Following the filing of the quarterly report for the period ended September 30, 2021, SVF 3, having performed further assessment, concluded that, effective with its financial statements for quarterly period ended September 30, 2021, it should restate its prior filed financial information for the period ended March 31, 2021, to classify all Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in temporary equity and to recognize the accretion from the initial book value to the redemption value, and it should restate its prior filed financial information for the period ended June 30, 2021, to correct the recognition of the accretion from the initial book value to redemption value. In accordance with guidance on redeemable equity instruments in ASC
480-10-S99,
redemption provisions not solely within the control of SVF 3 require ordinary shares subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity. Previously, SVF 3 had revised its financial information to classify all Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in temporary equity. In addition, effective with its financial statements for quarterly period ended September 30, 2021, the Company determined it should restate its earnings per share calculation to allocate income and loss shared pro rata between Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption and non-redeemable ordinary shares for the Affected Periods (as defined below).
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 December 31, 2021, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer has concluded that during the period ended December 31, 2021, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2021, because of a material weakness in our internal control over accounting for complex financial instruments. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of SVF 3’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Specifically, SVF 3’s management has concluded that our control around the interpretation and accounting for certain complex features of financial instruments was not effectively designed or maintained. This material weakness resulted in the restatement of SVF 3’s interim financial information for the quarter ended December 31, 2021. As a result, our management performed additional analysis as deemed necessary to ensure that our financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted in the United States of America. Management understands that the accounting standards applicable to our financial statements are complex and has since the inception of SVF 3 benefited from the support of experienced third-party professionals with whom management has regularly consulted with respect to accounting issues. Management intends to continue to further consult with such professionals in connection with accounting matters.
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
55

Table of Contents
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.
If we identify any new material weaknesses in the future, any such newly identified material weakness could limit our ability to prevent or detect a misstatement of our accounts or disclosures that could result in a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements. In such case, we may be unable to maintain compliance with securities law requirements regarding timely filing of periodic reports in addition to applicable stock exchange listing requirements, investors may lose confidence in our financial reporting and our stock price may decline as a result. We cannot assure you that the measures we have taken to date, or any measures we may take in the future, will be sufficient to avoid potential future material weaknesses.
As a result of material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting, the restatement described above and other matters raised or that may in the future be raised by the SEC, we face potential for litigation or other disputes, which may include, among others, claims invoking the federal and state securities laws, contractual claims or other claims arising from the restatement and material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, SVF 3 has no knowledge of any such litigation or dispute arising due to restatement or material weakness of its internal controls over financial reporting. However, we can provide no assurance that such litigation or dispute will not arise in the future. Any such litigation or dispute, whether successful or not, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition or our ability to complete a business combination.
SVF 3 shareholders may be held liable for claims by third parties against SVF 3 to the extent of distributions received by them upon redemption of their shares.
If SVF 3 is forced to enter into an insolvent liquidation, any distributions received by SVF 3 shareholders could be viewed as an unlawful payment if it was proved that immediately following the date on which the distribution was made, SVF 3 was unable to pay SVF 3’s debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business. As a result, a liquidator could seek to recover all amounts received by SVF 3 shareholders. Furthermore, SVF 3 directors may be viewed as having breached their fiduciary duties to SVF 3 or SVF 3’s creditors and/or to have acted in bad faith, and thereby exposing themselves and SVF 3 to claims, by paying Public Shareholders from the Trust Account prior to addressing the claims of creditors.
SVF 3 and Symbotic will incur transaction costs in connection with the Business Combination.
Each of SVF 3 and Symbotic has incurred and expects that it will incur significant,
non-recurring
costs in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination. SVF 3 and Symbotic may also incur additional costs to retain key employees. SVF 3 and Symbotic will also incur significant legal, financial advisor, accounting, banking and consulting fees, fees relating to regulatory filings and notices, SEC filing fees, printing and mailing fees and other costs associated with the Business Combination. SVF 3 and Symbotic estimate that they will incur $75 million in aggregate transaction costs, inclusive of $11.2 million in deferred underwriting fees. Some of these costs are payable regardless of whether the Business Combination is completed. See
“The Merger Agreement—Fees and Expenses.

The Initial Shareholders and our directors and officers have agreed to vote in favor of each of the proposals presented at the Extraordinary General Meeting, regardless of how Public Shareholders vote.
As of the date hereof, the Founder Shares and Private Placement Shares owned by the Initial Shareholders and the Public Shares owned by our directors and officers collectively represent 22.3% of the voting power of the outstanding SVF 3 ordinary shares. Pursuant to the Sponsor Support Agreement, the Initial Shareholders and our directors and officers have agreed to vote their Founder Shares and any Public Shares and Private Placement

Shares held by them in favor of each of the proposals presented at the Extraordinary General Meeting, regardless of how Public Shareholders vote. Accordingly, the agreement by the Initial Shareholders and our directors and officers to vote in favor of each of the proposals presented at the Extraordinary General Meeting will increase the likelihood that SVF 3 will receive the requisite shareholder approval for the Business Combination and the transactions contemplated thereby.

If the Adjournment Proposal is not approved, and an insufficient number of votes have been obtained to authorize the consummation of the Business Combination and the Domestication, the SVF 3 board of directors will not have the ability to adjourn the Extraordinary General Meeting to a later date in order to solicit further votes, and, therefore, the Business Combination will not be approved, and, therefore, the Business Combination may not be consummated.
The SVF 3 Board is seeking approval to adjourn the Extraordinary General Meeting to a later date or dates if, at the Extraordinary General Meeting, based upon the tabulated votes, there are insufficient votes to approve each of the Condition Precedent Proposals. If the Adjournment Proposal is not approved, the SVF 3 Board will not have the ability to adjourn the Extraordinary General Meeting to a later date and, therefore, will not have more time to solicit votes to approve the Condition Precedent Proposals. In such event, the Business Combination would not be completed.
Because SVF 3 is incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands, in the event the Domestication is not completed, you may face difficulties in protecting your interests, and your ability to protect your rights through the U.S. Federal courts may be limited.
Because SVF 3 is currently incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands, you may face difficulties in protecting your interests and your ability to protect your rights through the U.S. Federal courts may be limited prior to the Domestication. SVF 3 is currently an exempted company under the laws of the Cayman Islands. As a result, it may be difficult for investors to effect service of process within the United States upon SVF 3’s directors or officers, or enforce judgments obtained in the United States courts against SVF 3’s directors or officers.
Until the Domestication is effected, SVF 3’s corporate affairs are governed by the Articles, the Cayman Islands Companies Act (2021 Revision) and the common law of the Cayman Islands. The rights of shareholders to take action against the directors, actions by minority shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of its directors to SVF 3 under the laws of the Cayman Islands are to a large extent governed by the common law of the Cayman Islands. The common law of the Cayman Islands is derived in part from comparatively limited judicial precedent in the Cayman Islands as well as from English common law, the decisions of whose courts are of persuasive authority, but are not binding on a court in the Cayman Islands. The rights of SVF 3’s shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of its directors under Cayman Islands law are different from what they would be under statutes or judicial precedent in some jurisdictions in the United States. In particular, the Cayman Islands has a different body of securities laws as compared to the United States, and certain states, such as Delaware, may have more fully developed and judicially interpreted bodies of corporate law. In addition, Cayman Islands companies may not have standing to initiate a shareholders derivative action in a Federal court of the United States.
The courts of the Cayman Islands are unlikely (i) to recognize or enforce against SVF 3 judgments of courts of the United States predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States or any state; and (ii) in original actions brought in the Cayman Islands, to impose liabilities against SVF 3 predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States or any state, so far as the liabilities imposed by those provisions are penal in nature. In those circumstances, although there is no statutory enforcement in the Cayman Islands of judgments obtained in the United States, the courts of the Cayman Islands will recognize and enforce a foreign money judgment of a foreign court of competent
57

Table of Contents
jurisdiction without retrial on the merits based on the principle that a judgment of a competent foreign court imposes upon the judgment debtor an obligation to pay the sum for which judgment has been given provided certain conditions are met. For a foreign judgment to be enforced in the Cayman Islands, such judgment must be final and conclusive and for a liquidated sum, and must not be in respect of taxes or a fine or penalty, inconsistent with a Cayman Islands judgment in respect of the same matter, impeachable on the grounds of fraud or obtained in a manner, or be of a kind the enforcement of which is, contrary to natural justice or the public policy of the Cayman Islands (awards of punitive or multiple damages may well be held to be contrary to public policy). A Cayman Islands court may stay enforcement proceedings if concurrent proceedings are being brought elsewhere.
Public Shareholders may have more difficulty in protecting their interests in the face of actions taken by management, members of the SVF 3 Board or controlling shareholders than they would as public stockholders of a United States company.
The Domestication may result in adverse tax consequences for holders of SVF 3 ordinary shares, including Public Shareholders exercising redemption rights.
U.S. holders (as defined in “
Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences—U.S. Holders
” below) may be subject to U.S. federal income tax as a result of the Domestication. As discussed more fully under “
Material U
.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences
”
below, the Domestication should qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(F) of the Code for U.S. federal income tax purposes. However, due to the absence of direct guidance on the application of Section 368(a)(1)(F) to a statutory conversion of a corporation holding only investment-type assets such as SVF 3, this result is not entirely clear.
Assuming the Domestication qualifies as a reorganization under Section 368(a)(1)(F) of the Code, U.S. holders of SVF 3 ordinary shares will be subject to Section 367(b) of the Code, and as a result:

| • |  | a U.S. holder of SVF 3 ordinary shares whose SVF 3 ordinary shares have a fair market value of less than $50,000 on the date of the Domestication should not recognize any gain or loss and generally should not be required to include any part of SVF 3’s earnings in income pursuant to the Domestication;

| • |  | a U.S. holder of SVF 3 ordinary shares whose SVF 3 ordinary shares have a fair market value of $50,000 or more on the date of the Domestication, but who on the date of the Domestication owns (actually and constructively) less than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of SVF 3 ordinary shares entitled to vote and less than 10% of the total value of all classes of SVF 3 ordinary shares, will generally recognize gain (but not loss) with respect to the Domestication, as if such U.S. holder exchanged its SVF 3 ordinary shares for Symbotic Inc. common stock in a taxable transaction. As an alternative to recognizing gain, such U.S. holders may file an election to include in income as a dividend the “all earnings and profits amount” (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.367(b)-2(d)) attributable to their SVF 3 ordinary shares, provided certain other requirements are satisfied. SVF 3 does not expect that SVF 3’s cumulative earnings and profits will be material at the time of Domestication; and

| • |  | a U.S. holder of SVF 3 ordinary shares who on the date of the Domestication owns (actually and constructively) 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of SVF 3 ordinary shares entitled to vote or 10% or more of the total value of all classes of SVF 3 ordinary shares will generally be required to include in income as a dividend the “all earnings and profits amount” (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.367(b)-2(d)) attributable to its SVF 3 ordinary shares. Any such U.S. holder that is a corporation may, under certain circumstances, effectively be exempt from taxation on a portion or all of the deemed dividend pursuant to Section 245A of the Code. SVF 3 does not expect that SVF 3’s cumulative earnings and profits will be material at the time of the Domestication.

Furthermore, if the Domestication qualifies as a reorganization under Section 368(a)(1)(F) of the Code, a U.S. holder of SVF 3 ordinary shares may, in certain circumstances, still recognize gain (but not loss) upon the
58

Table of Contents
exchange of its SVF 3 ordinary shares for Symbotic Inc.’s common stock under the passive foreign investment company (“PFIC”) rules of the Code. Proposed Treasury Regulations with a retroactive effective date have been promulgated under Section 1291(f) of the Code which generally require that a U.S. person who disposes of stock of a PFIC must recognize gain equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of Symbotic Inc’s common stock received in the Domestication and the U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in the corresponding SVF 3 ordinary shares surrendered in exchange therefor, notwithstanding any other provision of the Code. Because SVF 3 is a blank check company with no current active business, we believe that it is likely that SVF 3 is classified as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a result, these proposed Treasury Regulations, if finalized in their current form, would generally require a U.S. holder of SVF 3 ordinary shares to recognize gain on the exchange of such shares for Symbotic Inc’s common stock, unless such U.S. holder has made certain tax elections with respect to such U.S. holder’s SVF 3 ordinary shares. Any such gain would be taxed as ordinary income and an interest charge would apply based on complex rules designed to offset the tax deferral to such U.S. holder on the undistributed earnings, if any, of SVF 3. It is not possible to determine at this time whether, in what form, and with what effective date, final Treasury Regulations under Section 1291(f) of the Code will be adopted.
Additionally, the Domestication may cause
non-U.S.
holders (as defined in “
Material U.S. Federal Income Tax
Consequences—Non-U.S.
Holders
” below) to become subject to U.S. federal withholding taxes on any dividends paid in respect of such
non-U.S.
holder’s the Symbotic Inc’s common stock after the Domestication.
If the Domestication fails to qualify as a reorganization under Section 368(a)(1)(F) of the Code, a U.S. holder generally would recognize gain or loss with respect to its SVF 3 ordinary shares in an amount equal to the difference between the fair market value of Symbotic Inc. common stock received in the Domestication and the U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in its SVF 3 ordinary shares surrendered in the Domestication.
Furthermore, because the Domestication will occur immediately prior to the redemption of U.S. holders that exercise redemption rights, U.S. holders exercising redemption rights will be subject to the potential tax consequences of the Domestication.
The tax consequences of the Domestication are complex and will depend on a holder’s particular circumstances. All holders are strongly urged to consult their tax advisors for a full description and understanding of the tax consequences of the Domestication, including the applicability and effect of U.S. federal, state, local and foreign income and other tax laws. For a more complete discussion of the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Domestication, see the discussion in the section entitled “
Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences
.”
We may have been a PFIC, which could result in adverse United States federal income tax consequences to U.S. investors.
Because SVF 3 is a blank check company with no current active operating business, we believe that it is likely that SVF 3 is classified as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes. If we have been a PFIC for any taxable year (or portion thereof) that is included in the holding period of a beneficial owner of SVF 3 ordinary shares that is a U.S. holder (as that term is defined in the section entitled “
Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences—U.S. Holders
”), such U.S. holder may be subject to certain adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences and may be subject to additional reporting requirements, including as a result of the Domestication. Our PFIC status for any taxable year will not be determinable until after the end of such taxable year. If we determine we are a PFIC for any taxable year, upon written request, SVF 3 will endeavor to provide to a U.S. holder such information as the IRS may require, including a PFIC annual information statement, in order to enable the U.S. holder to make and maintain a “qualified electing fund” election, but there can be no assurance that we will timely provide such required information. The PFIC rules are complex and will depend on a holder’s particular circumstances. All holders are strongly urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the application and effect of the PFIC rules, including as a result of the Domestication, including the applicability and effect of U.S. federal, state, local and foreign income and other tax laws.

Because of the Up-C structure, the interests of the holders of New Symbotic Holdings Common Units may not fully align with those of the holders of Class A common stock of Symbotic Inc.
Our organizational structure following the Business Combination, as described under the section entitled “
The Business Combination
,” is commonly referred to as an “Up-C” structure, which is often used by partnerships and limited liability companies undertaking an initial public offering to provide certain tax benefits and associated cash flow advantages to both the issuer corporation and the existing owners of the partnership or limited liability company in the initial public offering. The Up-C structure allows current Warehouse unitholders to retain their equity ownership in New Symbotic Holdings, an entity that is classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, in the form of New Symbotic Holdings Common Units. This allows the holders of New Symbotic Holdings Common Units to retain the tax benefits of owning interests in a pass-through entity while also being able to access public markets. All other investors, including SVF 3 shareholders, will hold their equity ownership in Symbotic Inc., a Delaware corporation that is a domestic corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, in the form of shares of Class A common stock.
Because the holders of New Symbotic Holdings Common Units will hold their economic interests directly in New Symbotic Holdings, rather than through Symbotic Inc., the interests of such holders may conflict with those of the holders of shares of Class A common stock of Symbotic Inc. For example, the holders of New Symbotic Holdings Common Units may have a different tax position from the holders of Class A common stock of Symbotic Inc., which could influence decisions regarding whether and when New Symbotic Holdings should dispose of assets or incur new indebtedness, undergo certain changes of control within the meaning of the Tax Receivable Agreement or terminate the Tax Receivable Agreement. In addition, the structuring of future transactions may take into consideration these tax or other considerations even where no similar benefit would accrue to the holders of shares of Class A common stock of Symbotic Inc.
Our only principal asset following the proposed Business Combination will be our interest in New Symbotic Holdings, and accordingly, we will depend on distributions from New Symbotic Holdings to pay taxes, make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement and cover our corporate and other overhead expenses.
Upon consummation of the Business Combination, we will be a holding company and will have no material assets other than our ownership interest in New Symbotic Holdings. We have no independent means of generating revenue or cash flow. To the extent the funds of New Symbotic Holdings are legally available for distribution, and subject to any restrictions contained in any credit agreement to which New Symbotic Holdings or its subsidiaries are bound, New Symbotic Holdings is required under the New Symbotic Holdings LLC Agreement to (i) make generally pro rata distributions to its equityholders, including us, in an amount generally intended to allow its equityholders to satisfy their respective income tax liabilities with respect to their allocable share of the income of New Symbotic Holdings, based on certain assumptions and conventions, and (ii) reimburse us for our corporate and other overhead expenses. In the future, we may be limited, however, in our ability to cause New Symbotic Holdings and its subsidiaries to make these and other distributions to us due to restrictions contained in any credit agreement to which New Symbotic Holdings or any of its subsidiaries are bound. To the extent that we need funds and New Symbotic Holdings or its subsidiaries are restricted from making such distributions under applicable law or regulation or under the terms of their financing arrangements or are otherwise unable to provide such funds, our liquidity and financial condition could be adversely affected.
Moreover, because we will have no independent means of generating revenue, our ability to make tax payments and payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement is dependent on the ability of New Symbotic Holdings to make distributions to us in an amount sufficient to cover our tax obligations and obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement. This ability, in turn, may depend on the ability of New Symbotic Holdings’ subsidiaries to make distributions to it. The ability of New Symbotic Holdings, its subsidiaries and other entities in which it directly or indirectly holds an equity interest to make such distributions will be subject to, among other things, (i) the applicable provisions of Delaware law (or other applicable jurisdictions) that may limit the amount of funds available for distribution and (ii) restrictions contained in any credit agreement to which New
60

Table of Contents
Symbotic Holdings, its subsidiaries and other entities in which it directly or indirectly holds an equity interest are bound. To the extent that we are unable to make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement for any reason, such payments will accrue interest until paid.
Pursuant to the Tax Receivable Agreement, we will be required to make payments to equityholders of New Symbotic Holdings for certain tax benefits we may claim, and those payments may be substantial.
Our purchase of New Symbotic Holdings Common Units in connection with the Unit Purchase Agreement and future exchanges of New Symbotic Holdings Common Units for shares of our Class A common stock or cash pursuant to the New Symbotic Holdings LLC Agreement (collectively, “Exchanges”) are expected to produce additional favorable tax attributes for us. When we acquire New Symbotic Holdings Common Units from existing unitholders, both the existing basis and the anticipated basis adjustments are likely to increase (for tax purposes) depreciation and amortization deductions allocable to us from New Symbotic Holdings and therefore reduce the amount of income tax that we would otherwise be required to pay in the future. This increase in tax basis may also decrease gain (or increase loss) on future dispositions of certain assets to the extent the increased tax basis is allocated to those assets.
In connection with the Business Combination, we will enter into the Tax Receivable Agreement, which generally provides for the payment by us to the TRA Holders of their proportionate share of 85% of the tax savings, if any, in U.S. federal and state income tax that we realize (or are deemed to realize in certain circumstances) in periods after the Closing as a result of (i) the existing tax basis in certain assets of New Symbotic Holdings that is allocable to the relevant New Symbotic Holdings Common Units, (ii) any
step-up
in tax basis in New Symbotic Holdings’ assets resulting from the relevant Exchanges and certain distributions (if any) by New Symbotic Holdings and payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement, and (iii) tax benefits related to imputed interest deemed to be paid by us as a result of payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement. The term of the Tax Receivable Agreement will continue until all such tax benefits have been utilized or expired unless we exercise our right to terminate the Tax Receivable Agreement for an amount representing the present value of anticipated future tax benefits under the Tax Receivable Agreement or certain other acceleration events occur. These payments are our obligation and not that of New Symbotic Holdings.
We expect that the payments we will be required to make under the Tax Receivable Agreement will be substantial. Assuming no material changes in the relevant tax law and that we earn sufficient taxable income to realize all tax benefits that are subject to the Tax Receivable Agreement, we expect that the reduction in tax payments for us associated with our purchase of New Symbotic Holdings Common Units in connection with the Unit Purchase Agreement would aggregate to approximately $127.2 million over a 26-year period from the Closing based on an assumed value of $10.00 per share of our Class A common stock. Under such scenario we would be required to pay the TRA Holders 85% of such amount, or $108.1 million, over a 26-year period from the Closing Date.
Further, assuming all future Exchanges of New Symbotic Holdings Common Units occur on the Closing Date, no material changes in the relevant tax law, a value of $10.00 per share of our Class A common stock, and that we earn sufficient taxable income to realize all tax benefits that are subject to the Tax Receivable Agreement, we estimate that the reduction in tax payments to us would aggregate to approximately $1,632.1 million over a 28-year period from the Closing, and we would be required to pay the TRA Holders 85% of such amount, or $1,387.3 million over a 28-year period from the Closing Date. For each $1.00 increase (decrease) in the assumed share price of $10.00 per share of our Class A common stock, our reduction in tax payments would increase (decrease) by approximately $152.8 million and the related liability would increase (decrease) by approximately $129.9 million. These amounts are estimates and have been prepared for informational purposes only. The actual amount of reduction in tax payments and related liabilities that we will recognize will differ based on, among other things, the timing of the exchanges, the price of our shares of Class A common stock at the time of the exchange, and the tax rates then in effect.
61

Table of Contents
The actual payment amounts may materially differ from these hypothetical amounts, as potential future reductions in tax payments for us and Tax Receivable Agreement payments by us will be calculated using the market value of our Class A common stock at the time of an Exchange and the prevailing tax rates applicable to us over the life of the Tax Receivable Agreement and will be dependent on us generating sufficient future taxable income to realize the benefit.
The actual increase in our allocable share of New Symbotic Holdings’ tax basis in its assets, as well as the amount and timing of any payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement, will vary depending upon a number of factors, including the timing of Exchanges, the market price of our Class A common stock at the time of the Exchanges, the extent to which such Exchanges are taxable. the amount and timing of the recognition of our income, the tax rate then applicable, and the portion of our payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement constituting imputed interest. Payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement are expected to give rise to certain additional tax benefits attributable to either further increases in basis or in the form of deductions for imputed interest, depending on the circumstances. Any such benefits are covered by the Tax Receivable Agreement and will increase the amounts due thereunder. In addition, the Tax Receivable Agreement will provide for interest, at a rate equal to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus 100 basis points, accrued from the due date (without extensions) of the corresponding tax return to the date of payment specified by the Tax Receivable Agreement.
While many of the factors that will determine the amount of payments that we will make under the Tax Receivable Agreement are outside of our control, we expect that the payments we will make under the Tax Receivable Agreement will be substantial and could materially and adversely affect our financial condition. Any payments made by us under the Tax Receivable Agreement will generally reduce the amount of overall cash flow that might have otherwise been available to us. To the extent that we are unable to make timely payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement for any reason, the unpaid amounts will be deferred and will accrue interest until paid; however, nonpayment for a specified period may constitute a material breach of a material obligation under the Tax Receivable Agreement and therefore accelerate payments due under the Tax Receivable Agreement, as further described below. Furthermore, our future obligation to make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement could make us a less attractive target for an acquisition, particularly in the case of an acquirer that cannot use some or all of the tax benefits that may be deemed realized under the Tax Receivable Agreement. See the section titled “
The Business Combination—Other Agreements—Tax Receivable Agreement.
”
In certain cases, payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement may exceed the actual tax benefits we realize or be accelerated.
Payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement will be based on the tax reporting positions that we determine, and the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) or another taxing authority may challenge all or any part of the tax basis increases, as well as other tax positions that we take, and a court may sustain such a challenge. In the event that any tax benefits initially claimed by us are disallowed, the TRA Holders will not be required to reimburse us for any excess payments that may previously have been made under the Tax Receivable Agreement, for example, due to adjustments resulting from examinations by taxing authorities. Rather, excess payments made to such holders will be netted against any future cash payments otherwise required to be made by us, if any, after the determination of such excess. However, a challenge to any tax benefits initially claimed by us may not arise for a number of years following the initial time of such payment or, even if challenged early, such excess cash payment may be greater than the amount of future cash payments that we might otherwise be required to make under the terms of the Tax Receivable Agreement and, as a result, there might not be future cash payments against which to net. As a result, in certain circumstances we could make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement in excess of our actual income or franchise tax savings, which could materially impair our financial condition.
Moreover, the Tax Receivable Agreement provides that, in the event that (i) we exercise our early termination rights under the Tax Receivable Agreement, (ii) we experience certain changes of control (as
62

Table of Contents
described in the Tax Receivable Agreement) or (iii) we breach any of our material obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement, our obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement may accelerate and we could be required to make
a lump-sum cash
payment to each TRA Holder equal to the present value of all future payments that would have otherwise been made under the Tax Receivable Agreement,
which lump-sum payment
would be based on certain assumptions, including those relating to our future taxable income.
The lump-sum payment
could be substantial and could exceed the actual tax benefits that we realize subsequent to such payment because such payment would be calculated assuming, among other things, that we would have certain tax benefits available to us and that we would be able to use the potential tax benefits in future years. If we were to elect to terminate the Tax Receivable Agreement immediately after this offering, based on an assumed initial value of $10.00 per share of our Class A common stock and a discount rate equal to the lesser of (i) 4.50% per annum, compounded annually, and (ii) SOFR plus 100 basis points, we estimate that we would be required to pay $1,254.5 million in the aggregate under the Tax Receivable Agreement.
There may be a material negative effect on our liquidity if the payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement exceed the actual tax savings that we realize. Furthermore, our obligations to make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement could also have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing certain mergers, asset sales, other forms of business combinations or other changes of control.
See the section titled “
The Business Combination—Other Agreements—Tax Receivable Agreement.
”
If New Symbotic Holdings were to become a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we and New Symbotic Holdings might be subject to potentially significant tax inefficiencies, and we would not be able to recover payments previously made by us under the Tax Receivable Agreement even if the corresponding tax benefits were subsequently determined to have been unavailable due to such status.
A number of aspects of our structure depend on the classification of New Symbotic Holdings as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and we intend to operate such that New Symbotic Holdings does not become a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes. A “publicly traded partnership” is a partnership the interests of which are traded on an established securities market or are readily tradable on a secondary market or the substantial equivalent thereof. Under certain circumstances, Exchanges or other transfers of New Symbotic Holdings Common Units could cause New Symbotic Holdings to be treated as a publicly traded partnership. Applicable U.S. Treasury regulations provide for certain safe harbors from treatment as a publicly traded partnership, and we intend to operate such that Exchanges or other transfers of New Symbotic Holdings Common Units qualify for one or more such safe harbors. For example, we intend to limit the number of New Symbotic Holdings unitholders, and the New Symbotic Holdings LLC Agreement, which will be entered into in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination, will provide for limitations on the ability of New Symbotic Holdings equityholders to transfer their New Symbotic Holdings Common Units and will provide us with the right to cause the imposition of limitations and restrictions (in addition to those already in place) on the ability of New Symbotic Holdings equityholders to Exchange their New Symbotic Holdings Common Units to the extent we believe it is necessary to ensure that New Symbotic Holdings will continue to be treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
If New Symbotic Holdings were to become a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, significant tax inefficiencies might result for us and New Symbotic Holdings, including as a result of our inability to file a consolidated U.S. federal income tax return with New Symbotic Holdings. In addition, we may not be able to realize tax benefits covered under the Tax Receivable Agreement, and we would not be able to recover any payments previously made by us under the Tax Receivable Agreement, even if the corresponding tax benefits (including any claimed increase in the tax basis of New Symbotic Holdings’ assets) were subsequently determined to have been unavailable.

Symbotic’s financial results forecast relies in large part upon assumptions and analyses developed by Symbotic. If these assumptions or analyses prove to be incorrect, Symbotic’s actual results may be materially different from its forecasted results.
The projected financial information appearing elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus reflect numerous estimates and assumptions with respect to industry performance, general business, economic, regulatory, market and financial conditions and other future events, as well as matters specific to Symbotic’s business, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond Symbotic’s and SVF 3’s control. As a result, there can be no assurance that the projected results will be realized or that actual results will not be significantly higher or lower than projected. Since the projections cover multiple years, such information by its nature becomes less reliable with each successive year. These financial projections are subjective in many respects and thus are susceptible to multiple interpretations and periodic revisions based on actual experience and business developments. As such, these financial projections constitute forward-looking information and are subject to risks and uncertainties, including the various risks and uncertainties set forth in the “
Risk Facto
rs” and “
Forward-Looking Statements
” sections of this proxy statement/prospectus. In addition, Symbotic’s projected revenue forecasts are forward looking and reflect numerous estimates and assumptions, including, but not limited to, general business, economic, regulatory, market and financial conditions, as well as assumptions about competition, future performance and penetration and matters specific to Symbotic’s business, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond Symbotic’s and SVF 3’s control. Some of the significant assumptions on which Symbotic’s management based its forecasts included:

| • |  | Prospective financial information relating to revenue is based on a variety of operational assumptions, including expansion within Symbotic’s current customer base, existing sales pipeline opportunities, and new sales opportunities in Symbotic’s strategically addressable markets in addition to contracted backlog of over $5.4 billion with non-changeable, scheduled orders that should produce revenue in excess of projections for FY2022 and FY2023; and

| • |  | Prospective financial information relating to gross profit and adjusted EBITDA are based on estimated costs to manufacture and install its systems over time, as well as assumptions on the growth of operating expenses to support the growth of the company. Gross profit visibility is enhanced by the cost structure across the strong majority of Symbotic’s contracted backlog; gross profits have guaranteed minimums with key variable cost items such as labor and steel cost variances being absorbed by the customer.

While presented in this proxy statement/prospectus with numeric specificity, the projected financial information appearing elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus was based on numerous variables and assumptions that are inherently uncertain and may be beyond the control of Warehouse’s management. Symbotic believes the assumptions in the prospective financial information were reasonable at the time the financial information was prepared, given the information Symbotic had at the time. However, important factors that may affect actual results and cause the results reflected in the prospective financial information not to be achieved include, among other things, risks and uncertainties relating to Symbotic’s business, industry performance, the regulatory environment, and general business and economic conditions. The prospective financial information also reflects assumptions as to certain business decisions that are subject to change. The unaudited prospective financial information was not prepared with a view toward public disclosure or with a view toward complying with the guidelines of the SEC, or the guidelines established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants with respect to prospective financial information, but, in the view of Symbotic’s management, was prepared on a reasonable basis, reflects the best currently available estimates and judgments, and presents, to the best of management’s knowledge and belief, the expected course of action and the expected future financial performance of Symbotic. However, this information is not fact and should not be relied upon as being necessarily indicative of future results, and readers of this proxy statement/prospectus are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the prospective financial information.

Our Public Shareholders will not have any rights or interests in funds from the Trust Account, except under certain limited circumstances. Therefore, to liquidate their investment, Public Shareholders may be forced to sell their Public Shares, potentially at a loss.
Our Public Shareholders will be entitled to receive funds from the Trust Account only upon the earlier to occur of: (i) the redemption of our Public Shares if we do not complete our initial business combination within the Completion Window, (ii) a shareholder vote to amend our Articles (A) to modify the substance or timing of our obligation to provide holders of our Class A ordinary shares the right to have their shares redeemed in connection with our initial business combination or to redeem 100% of our Public Shares if we do not complete our initial business combination within the Completion Window or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to the rights of holders of our Class A ordinary shares, or (iii) if they redeem their respective shares for cash upon the completion of the initial business combination. Public Shareholders who redeem their Class A ordinary shares in connection with a shareholder vote described in clause (ii) in the preceding sentence shall not be entitled to funds from the Trust Account upon the subsequent completion of an initial business combination or liquidation if we have not consummated an initial business combination within the Completion Window, with respect to such Class A ordinary shares so redeemed. In no other circumstances will a shareholder have any right or interest of any kind to or in the Trust Account. Accordingly, to liquidate your investment, you may be forced to sell your Public Shares, potentially at a loss.
Legal proceedings in connection with the Business Combination, the outcomes of which are uncertain, could delay or prevent the completion of the Business Combination.
Lawsuits may be filed against SVF 3 or its directors and officers in connection with the Business Combination. Defending such lawsuits could require SVF 3 to incur significant costs and draw the attention of SVF 3’s management team away from the Business Combination. Further, the defense or settlement of any lawsuit or claim that remains unresolved at the time the transactions are consummated may adversely affect the Post-Combination Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Such legal proceedings could delay or prevent the Business Combination from becoming effective within the agreed upon timeframe.
In connection with the Business Combination, two purported shareholders of SVF 3 have sent demand letters requesting that SVF 3 provide additional disclosures in an amendment to the registration statement filed in connection with the Business Combination. We believe that the allegations in the demand letters are meritless and no additional disclosure is required in such registration statement. No litigation has been filed in respect of these allegations and we are currently unable to reasonably determine the outcome or estimate any potential losses should any litigation be filed, and, as such, have not recorded a loss contingency. There is no material litigation, arbitration or governmental proceeding currently pending against SVF 3 or any members of our management team in their capacity as such.
If third parties bring claims against us, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be reduced and
the per-share redemption
amount received by Public Shareholders may be less than $10.00 per Public Share.
The placement of funds in the Trust Account may not protect those funds from third-party claims against us. Although we will seek to have all vendors, service providers, prospective target businesses and other entities with which we do business execute agreements with us waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account for the benefit of our Public Shareholders, such parties may not execute
65

Table of Contents
such agreements, and in certain instances we have not been able to obtain such a waiver in agreements that we have executed. Further, under certain circumstances, parties that have executed such a waiver will not be prevented from bringing claims against the Trust Account, including, but not limited to, fraudulent inducement, breach of fiduciary responsibility or other similar claims, as well as claims challenging the enforceability of the waiver, in each case in order to gain advantage with respect to a claim against our assets, including the funds held in the Trust Account. If any third-party refuses to execute an agreement waiving such claims to the monies held in the Trust Account, our management will perform an analysis of the alternatives available to it and will only enter into an agreement with a third-party that has not executed a waiver if management believes that such third-party’s engagement would be significantly more beneficial to us than any alternative.
Examples of possible instances where we may engage a third-party that refuses to execute a waiver include the engagement of a third-party consultant whose particular expertise or skills are believed by management to be significantly superior to those of other consultants that would agree to execute a waiver or in cases where management is unable to find a service provider willing to execute a waiver. In addition, there is no guarantee that such entities will agree to waive any claims they may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations, contracts or agreements with us and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account for any reason. Upon redemption of our Public Shares, if we have not consummated an initial business combination within the Completion Window, or upon the exercise of a redemption right in connection with our initial business combination, we will be required to provide for payment of claims of creditors that were not waived that may be brought against us within the ten years following redemption. Accordingly,
the per-share redemption
amount received by Public Shareholders could be less than the $10.00 per public share initially held in the Trust Account, due to claims of such creditors. Pursuant to the letter agreement the form of which is filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this proxy statement/prospectus forms a part, our Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to us if and to the extent any claims by a third-party (other than our independent auditors) for services rendered or products sold to us, or a prospective target business with which we have discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amounts 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 as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account if less than $10.00 per Public Share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, in each case net of the interest that may be withdrawn to pay our tax obligations, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third-party or prospective target business that executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account nor will it apply to any claims under our indemnity of the underwriters of the SVF 3 IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. Moreover, in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third-party, our sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third-party claims.
However, we have not asked our Sponsor to reserve for such indemnification obligations, nor have we independently verified whether our Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and we believe that our Sponsor’s only assets are securities of SVF 3. Therefore, we cannot assure you that our Sponsor would be able to satisfy those obligations. As a result, if any such claims were successfully made against the Trust Account, the funds available for our initial business combination and redemptions could be reduced to less than $10.00 per Public Share. In such event, we may not be able to complete our initial business combination, and you would receive such lesser amount per share in connection with any redemption of your Public Shares. None of our officers or directors will indemnify us for claims by third parties including, without limitation, claims by vendors and prospective target businesses.
Our directors may decide not to enforce the indemnification obligations of our Sponsor, resulting in a reduction in the amount of funds in the Trust Account available for distribution to our Public Shareholders.
In the event that the proceeds in the Trust Account are reduced below the lesser of (i) $10.00 per Public Share and (ii) the actual amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account if less than $10.00 per Public Share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, in each case net of the interest that may be withdrawn to pay our tax obligations, and our Sponsor asserts that it is unable to
66

Table of Contents
satisfy its obligations or that it has no indemnification obligations related to a particular claim, our independent directors would determine whether to take legal action against our Sponsor to enforce its indemnification obligations. While we currently expect that our independent directors would take legal action on our behalf against our Sponsor to enforce its indemnification obligations to us, it is possible that our independent directors in exercising their business judgment and subject where relevant to their fiduciary duties may choose not to do so in any particular instance. If our independent directors choose not to enforce these indemnification obligations, the amount of funds in the Trust Account available for distribution to our Public Shareholders may be reduced below $10.00 per Public Share.
We may not have sufficient funds to satisfy indemnification claims of our directors and executive officers.
We have agreed to indemnify our officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted by law. However, our officers and directors have agreed to waive any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies in the Trust Account and to not seek recourse against the Trust Account for any reason whatsoever (except to the extent they are entitled to funds from the Trust Account due to their ownership of Public Shares). Accordingly, any indemnification provided will be able to be satisfied by us only if (i) we have sufficient funds outside of the Trust Account or (ii) we consummate the Business Combination. Our obligation to indemnify our officers and directors may discourage shareholders from bringing a lawsuit against our officers or directors for breach of their fiduciary duty. These provisions also may have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against our officers and directors, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit us and our shareholders. Furthermore, a shareholder’s investment may be adversely affected to the extent we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against our officers and directors pursuant to these indemnification provisions.
If, after we distribute the proceeds in the Trust Account to our Public Shareholders, we file a bankruptcy or insolvency petition or an involuntary bankruptcy or insolvency petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, a bankruptcy or insolvency court may seek to recover such proceeds, and the members of our board of directors may be viewed as having breached their fiduciary duties to our creditors, thereby exposing the members of our board of directors and us to claims of punitive damages.
If, after we distribute the proceeds in the Trust Account to our Public shareholders, we file a bankruptcy or insolvency petition or an involuntary bankruptcy or insolvency petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, any distributions received by shareholders could be viewed under applicable debtor/creditor and/or bankruptcy or insolvency laws as either a “preferential transfer” or a “fraudulent conveyance.” As a result, a bankruptcy or insolvency court could seek to recover some or all amounts received by our shareholders. In addition, our board of directors may be viewed as having breached its fiduciary duty to our creditors and/or having acted in bad faith, thereby exposing itself and us to claims of punitive damages, by paying Public Shareholders from the Trust Account prior to addressing the claims of creditors.
If, before distributing the proceeds in Trust Account to our Public Shareholders, we file a bankruptcy or insolvency petition or an involuntary bankruptcy or insolvency petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, the claims of creditors in such proceeding may have priority over the claims of our shareholders and
the per-share amount
that would otherwise be received by our shareholders in connection with our liquidation may be reduced.
If, before distributing the proceeds in the Trust Account to our Public Shareholders, we file a bankruptcy or insolvency petition or an involuntary bankruptcy or insolvency petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be subject to applicable bankruptcy or insolvency law, and may be included in our bankruptcy or insolvency estate and subject to the claims of third parties with priority over the claims of our shareholders. To the extent any bankruptcy or insolvency claims deplete the Trust Account, the
per-share
amount that would otherwise be received by our shareholders in connection with our liquidation may be reduced.

The exercise of SVF 3’s directors’ and officers’ discretion in agreeing to changes or waivers in the terms of the Business Combination may result in a conflict of interest when determining whether changes to the terms of the Business Combination or waivers of conditions are appropriate and in SVF 3’s shareholders’ best interest.
In the period leading up to the Closing, events may occur that, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, may require SVF 3 to agree to amend the Merger Agreement, to consent to certain actions taken by Symbotic or to waive rights that SVF 3 is entitled to under the Merger Agreement. Such events could arise because of changes in the course of Symbotic’s business, a request by Symbotic to undertake actions that would otherwise be prohibited by the terms of the Merger Agreement or the occurrence of other events that would have a material adverse effect on Symbotic’s business and would entitle SVF 3 to terminate the Merger Agreement. In any of such circumstances, it would be at SVF 3’s discretion, acting through the Board, to grant its consent or waive those rights. The existence of financial and personal interests of one or more of the directors described in the preceding risk factors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of such director(s) between what he, she or they may believe is best for SVF 3 and its shareholders and what he, she or they may believe is best for himself, herself or themselves in determining whether or not to take the requested action. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, SVF 3 does not believe there will be any changes or waivers that SVF 3’s directors and officers would be likely to make after shareholder approval of the Business Combination Proposal has been obtained. While certain changes could be made without further shareholder approval, SVF 3 will circulate a new or amended proxy statement/prospectus and resolicit SVF 3’s shareholders if changes to the terms of the transaction that would have a material impact on its shareholders are required prior to the vote on the Business Combination Proposal.
During the pendency of the Business Combination, SVF 3 will not be able to solicit, initiate or take any action to facilitate or encourage any inquiries or the making, submission or announcement of, or enter into a business combination with another party because of restrictions in the Merger Agreement.
During the pendency of the Business Combination, SVF 3 will not be able to enter into a business combination with another party because of restrictions in the Merger Agreement. Certain covenants in the Merger Agreement impede the ability of SVF 3 to make acquisitions or complete certain other transactions pending completion of the Business Combination. As a result, SVF 3 may be at a disadvantage to its competitors during that period. In addition, if the Business Combination is not completed, these provisions will make it more difficult to complete an alternative business combination following the termination of the Merger Agreement due to the passage of time during which these provisions have remained in effect. See the section titled “
The Merger Agreement—Covenants and Agreements—SVF 3 Exclusivity
” for more information.
The provisions of our Articles that relate to the rights of holders of our Class A ordinary shares (and corresponding provisions of the agreement governing the release of funds from our trust account) may be amended with the approval of a special resolution, which is a lower amendment threshold than that of some other blank check companies. It may be easier for us, therefore, to amend our Articles to facilitate the completion of an initial business combination that some of our shareholders may not support.
Some other blank check companies have a provision in their charter which prohibits the amendment of certain of its provisions, including those which relate to the rights of a company’s shareholders, without approval by a certain percentage of the company’s shareholders. In those companies, amendment of these provisions typically requires approval by between 90% and 100% of the company’s shareholders. Our Articles provide that certain of its provisions related to the rights of holders of our Class A ordinary shares (including the requirement to deposit proceeds of the 3 IPO and SVF the Private Placement Shares into the Trust Account and not release such amounts except in specified circumstances, and to provide redemption rights to Public Shareholders as described herein) may be amended if approved by special resolution, and corresponding provisions of the trust agreement governing the release of funds from our Trust Account may be amended if approved by holders of at least 65% of our ordinary shares; provided that the provisions of our Articles governing the appointment or
68

Table of Contents
removal of directors prior to our initial business combination may only be amended by a special resolution which shall include the affirmative vote of a simple majority of our Class B ordinary shares. Our Sponsor, directors and officers, who collectively beneficially own 22.3% of our ordinary shares, will participate in any vote to amend our Articles and/or trust agreement governing our Trust Account and will have the discretion to vote in any manner they choose. As a result, we may be able to amend the provisions of our Articles which govern
our pre-business combination
behavior more easily than some other blank check companies, and this may increase our ability to complete a business combination with which you do not agree. Our shareholders may pursue remedies against us for any breach of our Articles.
Our sponsor, directors and officers have agreed, pursuant to agreements with us, that they will not propose any amendment to our Articles (A) that would modify the substance or timing of our obligation to provide holders of our Class A ordinary shares the right to have their shares redeemed in connection with our initial business combination or to redeem 100% of our Public Shares if we do not complete our initial business combination within the Completion Window or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to the rights of holders of our Class A ordinary shares, unless we provide our Public Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Class A ordinary shares upon approval of any such amendment 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 income taxes, if any, divided by the number of the then outstanding Public Shares. Our shareholders are not parties to, or third-party beneficiaries of, these agreements and, as a result, will not have the ability to pursue remedies against our sponsor, directors or officers for any breach of these agreements. As a result, in the event of a breach, our shareholders would need to pursue a shareholder derivative action, subject to applicable law.
Risks Related to Ownership of Our Common Stock Following the Business Combination
In this section, “we,” “us” and “our” refer to SVF 3 prior to the Business Combination and to Symbotic Inc., or the
Post-Combination
Company, from and following the Business Combination.
Our common stock price may be volatile or may decline regardless of our operating performance. You may lose some or all of your investment.
The trading price of our common stock following the Business Combination is likely to be volatile. The stock market recently has experienced extreme volatility. This volatility often has been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of particular companies. You may not be able to resell your shares at an attractive price due to a number of factors such as those listed in “
Risks Related to Symbotic
—
Risks Related to Our Business, Operations and Industry
” and the following:

| • |  | the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our financial condition and the results of operations;

| • |  | our operating and financial performance and prospects;

| • |  | our quarterly or annual earnings or those of other companies in our industry compared to market expectations;

| • |  | conditions that impact demand for our products;

| • |  | future announcements concerning our business, our clients’ businesses or our competitors’ businesses;

| • |  | the public’s reaction to our press releases, other public announcements and filings with the SEC;

| • |  | the market’s reaction to our reduced disclosure and other requirements as a result of being an “emerging growth company” under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (the “JOBS Act”);

| • |  | the size of our public float;

| • |  | coverage by or changes in financial estimates by securities analysts or failure to meet their expectations;

69

Table of Contents

| • |  | market and industry perception of our success, or lack thereof, in pursuing our growth strategy;

| • |  | strategic actions by us or our competitors, such as acquisitions or restructurings;

| • |  | changes in laws or regulations which adversely affect our industry or us;

| • |  | changes in accounting standards, policies, guidance, interpretations or principles;

| • |  | changes in senior management or key personnel;

| • |  | issuances, exchanges or sales, or expected issuances, exchanges or sales of our capital stock;

| • |  | changes in our dividend policy;

| • |  | adverse resolution of new or pending litigation against us; and

| • |  | changes in general market, economic and political conditions in the United States and global economies or financial markets, including those resulting from natural disasters, terrorist attacks, acts of war and responses to such events.

These broad market and industry factors may materially reduce the market price of our common stock, regardless of our operating performance. In addition, price volatility may be greater if the public float and trading volume of our common stock is low. As a result, you may suffer a loss on your investment.
In the past, following periods of market volatility, stockholders have instituted securities class action litigation. If we were involved in securities litigation, it could have a substantial cost and divert resources and the attention of executive management from our business regardless of the outcome of such litigation.
Beginning in January 2022, subsequent to our announcement of the Business Combination and our PIPE offering on December 12, 2021, there has been a precipitous drop in the market values of growth-oriented companies. Accordingly, securities of growth companies such as ours may be more volatile than other securities and may involve special risks.
Beginning in January 2022, subsequent to our announcement of the Business Combination and our PIPE offering on December 12, 2021, there has been a precipitous drop in the market values of growth-oriented companies like ours. In recent months, inflationary pressures, increases in interest rates and other adverse economic and market forces have contributed to these drops in market value. As a result, our securities are subject to potential downward pressures, which may result in high redemptions of the cash available from the Trust Account. If there are substantial redemptions, there will be a lower float of our common stock outstanding, which may cause further volatility in the price of our securities and adversely impact our ability to secure financing following the closing of the Business Combination.
Securities of companies formed through SPAC mergers such as ours may experience a material decline in price relative to the share price of the SPAC prior to the merger
As with most SPAC initial public offerings in recent years, SVF 3 issued shares for $10.00 per share upon the closing of its initial public offering. As with other SPACs, the $10.00 per share price of SVF 3 reflected each share having a one-time right to redeem such share for a pro rata portion of the proceeds held in the Trust Account equal to approximately $10.00 per share prior to the closing of the Business Combination. Following Closing, the shares outstanding will no longer have any such redemption right and will be solely dependent upon the fundamental value of the Post-Combination Company, which, like the securities of other companies formed through SPAC mergers in recent years, may be significantly different than $10.00 per share.
We do not intend to pay dividends on our common stock for the foreseeable future.
We currently intend to retain all available funds and any future earnings to fund the development and growth of our business. As a result, we do not anticipate declaring or paying any cash dividends on our common
70

Table of Contents
stock in the foreseeable future. Any decision to declare and pay dividends in the future will be made at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on, among other things, our business prospects, results of operations, financial condition, cash requirements and availability, certain restrictions related to our indebtedness, if any, industry trends and other factors that our board of directors may deem relevant. Any such decision will also be subject to compliance with contractual restrictions and covenants in the agreements governing future indebtedness. In addition, we may incur future indebtedness, the terms of which may further restrict or prevent us from paying dividends on our common stock. As a result, you may have to sell some or all of your common stock after price appreciation in order to generate cash flow from your investment, which you may not be able to do. Our inability or decision not to pay dividends, particularly when others in our industry have elected to do so, could also adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
If securities analysts do not publish research or reports about us, or if they issue unfavorable commentary about us or our industry or downgrade our common stock, the price of our common stock could decline.
The trading market for our common stock will depend in part on the research and reports that
third-party
securities analysts publish about us and the industries in which we operate. We may be unable or slow to attract research coverage and if one or more analysts cease coverage of us, the price and trading volume of our securities would likely be negatively impacted. If any of the analysts that may cover us change their recommendation regarding our securities adversely, or provide more favorable relative recommendations about our competitors, the price of our securities would likely decline. If any analyst that may cover us ceases covering us or fails to regularly publish reports on us, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which could cause the price or trading volume of our securities to decline. Moreover, if one or more of the analysts who cover us downgrades our common stock, or if our reporting results do not meet their expectations, the market price of our common stock could decline.
Our issuance of additional shares of common stock or convertible securities could make it difficult for another company to acquire us, may dilute your ownership of us and could adversely affect our stock price.
In connection with the proposed Business Combination, we intend to file a registration statement with the SEC on
Form S-8
providing for the registration of shares of our common stock issued or reserved for issuance under the Incentive Compensation Plan and the ESPP. Subject to the satisfaction of vesting conditions and the expiration of applicable lockup agreements, shares registered under the registration statement on
Form S-8
will be available for resale immediately in the public market without restriction. From time to time in the future, we may also issue additional shares of our common stock or securities convertible into common stock pursuant to a variety of transactions, including acquisitions. The issuance by us of additional shares of our common stock or securities convertible into our common stock would dilute your ownership of us and the sale of a significant amount of such shares in the public market could adversely affect prevailing market prices of our common stock.
In the future, we expect to obtain financing or to further increase our capital resources by issuing additional shares of our capital stock or offering debt or other equity securities, including senior or subordinated notes, debt securities convertible into equity, or shares of preferred stock. Issuing additional shares of our capital stock, other equity securities, or securities convertible into equity may dilute the economic and voting rights of our existing stockholders, reduce the market price of our common stock, or both. Debt securities convertible into equity could be subject to adjustments in the conversion ratio pursuant to which certain events may increase the number of equity securities issuable upon conversion. Preferred stock, if issued, could have a preference with respect to liquidating distributions or a preference with respect to dividend payments that could limit our ability to pay dividends to the holders of our common stock. Our decision to issue securities in any future offering will depend on market conditions and other factors beyond our control, which may adversely affect the amount, timing or nature of our future offerings. As a result, holders of our common stock bear the risk that our future offerings may reduce the market price of our common stock and dilute their percentage ownership. See “
Description of Capital Stock of the Post
-Combination
Company
.”

Table of Contents
Future sales, or the perception of future sales, of our common stock by us or our stockholders in the public market following the Closing could cause the market price for our common stock to decline.
The sale of substantial amounts of shares of our common stock in the public market, or the perception that such sales could occur, could harm the prevailing market price of shares of our common stock. These sales, or the possibility that these sales may occur, also might make it more difficult for us to sell equity securities in the future at a time and at a price that we deem appropriate.
Upon consummation of the Business Combination, we will have a total of 555,901,598 shares of common stock outstanding, consisting of (i) 60,844,573 shares of
Class V-1
and 416,933,024 shares of
Class V-3
common stock issued to holders of units of Warehouse, (ii) 20,500,000 shares issued pursuant to the Subscription Agreements, (iii) 32,000,000 shares held by SVF 3’s Public Shareholders (including 112,500 Class A ordinary shares originally issued in the SVF 3 IPO and purchased by certain officers and directors of SVF 3), (iv) 5,624,000 shares held by the Initial Shareholders (including 200,000 shares issuable upon conversion of Working Capital Loans and not including 3,616,000 shares subject to vesting requirements pursuant to the Sponsor Letter) and (v) 20,000,000 shares held by the Forward Purchase Investor. The numbers of shares set forth in the foregoing sentence are based on a number of assumptions, including that Warehouse does not issue any additional equity securities prior to the Business Combination, no Earnout Interests are issued, the Forward Purchase Investor will purchase a total of 20,000,000 Forward Purchase Shares pursuant to the Forward Purchase Agreement. If the actual facts differ from our assumptions, the numbers of shares and percentage interests set forth above will be different. In addition, the numbers of shares and percentage interests set forth above do not take into account units issuable upon the exercise of securities exercisable for Warehouse Units or units of Symbotic Holdings.
All shares issued as merger consideration in the Business Combination and included on the registration statement of which this proxy statement/prospectus forms a part will be freely tradable under the Securities Act and without restriction by persons other than our “affiliates” (as defined under Rule 144 of the Securities Act, referred to herein as “Rule 144”), including our directors, executive officers and other affiliates subject to the Symbotic Transfer Restrictions described below. Additionally, we have agreed to register the Post-Combination Company’s Class A common stock issued pursuant to the Subscription Agreements and the Forward Purchase Agreement following the Closing.
In connection with the Closing, pursuant to the A&R Registration Rights Agreement, Symbotic Director Equityholders (as defined in the A&R Registration Rights Agreement) will agree that they will not, during the period of one year after the Closing Date, directly or indirectly, sell, offer to sell, contract to sell, hypothecate, pledge, grant any option to purchase or otherwise dispose of or agree to dispose of, enter into any swap or other arrangement to transfer, any New Symbotic Holdings Common Units and any shares of the Post-Combination Company’s common stock received by the Symbotic Equityholders after the closing the Business Combination pursuant to a direct exchange or redemption of New Symbotic Holdings Common Units, or publicly announce any intention to effect any such transaction (in each case, subject to certain exceptions set forth in the A&R Registration Rights Agreement) (the “Symbotic Transfer Restrictions”).
Additionally, Symbotic Officer Equityholders (as defined in the A&R Registration Rights Agreement) are subject to the Symbotic Transfer Restrictions for 180 days after the Closing Date.
Upon the expiration or waiver of the
lock-ups
described above, shares held by certain of our stockholders will be eligible for resale, subject to, in the case of certain stockholders, volume, manner of sale and other limitations under Rule 144, if then available. In addition, pursuant to the A&R Registration Rights Agreement, certain stockholders will have the right, subject to certain conditions, to require us to register the sale of their shares of our common stock under the Securities Act. By exercising their registration rights and selling a large number of shares, these stockholders could cause the prevailing market price of our Class A common stock to decline. Following completion of the Business Combination, the shares covered by registration rights would represent approximately 87.9% of our outstanding common stock. See “
The Business Combination
—Other Agreements—Registration Rights Agreement
” for a description of these registration rights.
72

Table of Contents
As restrictions on resale end or if these stockholders exercise their registration rights, the market price of shares of our common stock could drop significantly if the holders of these shares sell them or are perceived by the market as intending to sell them. These factors could also make it more difficult for us to raise additional funds through future offerings of our shares of common stock or other securities.
In addition, the shares of our common stock reserved for future issuance under the Incentive Compensation Plan and the ESPP will become eligible for sale in the public market once those shares are issued, subject to provisions relating to various vesting agreements,
lock-up
agreements and, in some cases, limitations on volume and manner of sale applicable to affiliates under Rule 144, as applicable. The number of shares to be reserved for future issuance under the Incentive Compensation Plan will be equal to 10% of the Post-Combination Company’s Class A common stock on a fully diluted basis as of the closing of the Business Combination, subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms of the Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Share Reserve”). The Share Reserve will be subject to an annual increase on the first trading day of each calendar year, beginning January 1, 2023 and ending on and including January 1, 2032, by a number of shares equal to the lesser of (i) 5% of the aggregate number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding on the last day of the prior calendar year and (ii) such smaller number of shares (which may be zero) as is determined by the compensation committee prior to such calendar year. The Incentive Compensation Plan also permits the compensation committee to deliver awards covering an aggregate of 8,500,000 shares of Class A common stock of the Post-Combination Company (the “Additional Pool”) solely in connection with the exchange of awards under the 2012 Value Appreciation Plan or the Amended and Restated 2018 Long Term Incentive Plan outstanding prior to the consummation of the Business Combination. Additionally, the number of shares to be reserved for future issuance under the ESPP will be equal to 2.5% of the total number of outstanding shares as of the closing of the Business Combination, subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms of the ESPP (the “Initial Share Limit”). The Initial Share Limit will be subject to an annual increase on the first day of each calendar year, beginning January 1, 2023 and ending on and including January 1, 2032, equal to the lesser of (i) 1% of the aggregate number of shares of Class A common stock of the Post-Combination Company then outstanding on the final day of the immediately preceding calendar year, (ii) the number of shares that equals twice the size of the Initial Share Limit and (iii) such smaller number of shares (which may be zero) as is determined by the compensation committee of the board of directors prior to such calendar year. We expect to file one or more registration statements on
Form S-8
under the Securities Act to register shares of our common stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of our common stock issued pursuant to our Incentive Compensation Plan and ESPP. Any such

Upon completion of the Business Combination, the rights of holders of the Post-Combination Company’s common stock arising under the DGCL will differ from and may be less favorable to the rights of holders of SVF 3’s ordinary shares arising under Cayman Islands law.
Upon completion of the Business Combination (which involves the Domestication), the rights of holders of the Post-Combination Company’s common stock will arise under the DGCL. The DGCL contains provisions that differ in some respects from those in the Cayman Islands Companies Act (2021 Revision), and, therefore, some rights of holders of the Post-Combination Company’s common stock could differ from the rights that holders of SVF 3 ordinary shares currently possess. For instance, while class action lawsuits are generally not available to shareholders under Cayman Islands law, such actions are generally available under Delaware law. This change could increase the likelihood that the Post-Combination Company becomes involved in costly litigation, which could materially and adversely affect the Post-Combination Company.
For a more detailed description of the rights of holders of the Post-Combination Company’s common stock under the DGCL and how they may differ from the rights of holders of SVF 3 ordinary shares under Cayman Islands law, please see the section titled “
Proposal No. 2—The Domestication Proposal—Comparison of Corporate Governance and Shareholder Rights

Anti-takeover
provisions in our Proposed Organizational Documents and under Delaware law could make an acquisition of us more difficult, limit attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our current management and limit the market price of our common stock.
The Proposed Charter, the Proposed Bylaws and Delaware law contain or will contain provisions that could have the effect of rendering more difficult, delaying, or preventing an acquisition deemed undesirable by our board of directors. Among other things, the Proposed Charter and/or Proposed Bylaws will include the following provisions:

| • |  | a prohibition on stockholder action by written consent, which means that our stockholders will only be able to take action at a meeting of stockholders and will not be able to take action by written consent for any matter;

| • |  | a forum selection clause, which means certain litigation against us can only be brought in Delaware;

| • |  | the authorization of undesignated preferred stock, the terms of which may be established and shares of which may be issued without further action by our stockholders; and

| • |  | advance notice procedures, which apply for stockholders to nominate candidates for election as directors or to bring matters before an annual meeting of stockholders.

These provisions, alone or together, could delay or prevent hostile takeovers and changes in control or changes in our management. The Post-Combination Company will not be governed by Section 203 of the DGCL. In general, Section 203 prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in a business combination, such as a merger, with an “interested stockholder” (which includes a person or group owning 15% or more of the corporation’s voting stock) for a period of three years following the date the person became an interested stockholder, unless (with certain exceptions) the business combination or the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder is approved in a prescribed manner. Accordingly, the Post-Combination Company will not be subject to any anti-takeover effects of Section 203. Nevertheless, the Proposed Charter contains provisions that will have a similar effect to Section 203, which will take effect from and after the first such time after the effective time of the Merger that the members of New Symbotic Holdings (other than the Post-Combination Company) as of the date on which the Proposed Charter became effective and their Permitted Transferees (as defined in the New Symbotic Holdings LLC Agreement) no longer own a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock (the “Restriction Effective Time”), except that such restrictions on business combinations shall not apply to any interested stockholder that became such prior to the Restriction Effective Time.
Any provision of the Proposed Charter, the Proposed Bylaws or Delaware law that has the effect of delaying, preventing or deterring a change in control could limit the opportunity for our stockholders to receive a premium for their shares of our common stock and could also affect the price that some investors are willing to pay for our common stock.

Table of Contents
The Proposed Charter will provide that the courts located in the State of Delaware will be the sole and exclusive forum for substantially all disputes between us and our stockholders, which could limit our stockholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us or our directors, officers, or employees.
The Proposed Charter and Proposed Bylaws, each of which will become effective prior to the completion of the Business Combination, will provide that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, (a) a state court located within the State of Delaware (or, in the event that no court located within the State of Delaware has jurisdiction, the federal district court for the District of Delaware) shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for: (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf; (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any of our directors, officers, employees or stockholders to us or to our stockholders or (iii) any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL, the Proposed Charter or the Proposed Bylaws; and (b) subject to the foregoing, the federal district court for the District of Delaware (or if such court does not have jurisdiction over such action, any other federal district court) of the United States of America shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for any action asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, as amended. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such forum selection provisions shall not apply to suits brought to enforce any liability, obligation or duty created by the Exchange Act. The choice of forum provision may limit a stockholder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with us or our directors, officers, or other employees, which may discourage such lawsuits against us and our directors, officers, and other employees. Alternatively, if a court were to find the choice of forum provision contained in the Proposed Charter to be inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such action in other jurisdictions, which could harm our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
Additionally, Section 22 of the Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. As noted above, the Proposed Charter and Proposed Bylaws will provide that the federal district courts of the United States of America shall have jurisdiction over any action arising under the Securities Act. Accordingly, there is uncertainty as to whether a court would enforce such provision. Our stockholders will not be deemed to have waived our compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder.
There can be no assurance that the Post-Combination Company’s securities will be approved for listing on NASDAQ or that the Post-Combination Company will be able to comply with the continued listing standards of NASDAQ.
In connection with the Closing, we intend to list the Class A common stock of the Post-Combination Company on NASDAQ under the symbol “SYM.” The Post-Combination Company’s continued eligibility for listing may depend on the number of SVF 3’s Class A ordinary shares that are redeemed. If, after the Business Combination, NASDAQ delists the Post-Combination Company’s securities from trading on its exchange for failure to meet the listing standards, the Post-Combination Company and its stockholders could face significant negative consequences including:

| • |  | limited availability of market quotations for the Post-Combination Company’s securities;

| • |  | a determination that the Post-Combination Company’s Class A common stock is a “penny stock” which will require brokers trading in the Post-Combination Company’s Class A common stock to adhere to more stringent rules,

| • |  | possible reduction in the level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for shares of the Post-Combination Company’s Class A common stock;

| • |  | a limited amount of analyst coverage; and

| • |  | a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future.

Subsequent to the consummation of the Business Combination, we may be required to take write-downs or write-offs, restructuring and impairment or other charges that could have a significant negative effect on our financial condition, results of operations and stock price, which could cause you to lose some or all of your investment.
Although SVF 3 has conducted due diligence on Symbotic, SVF 3 cannot assure you that its diligence revealed all material issues that may be present in Symbotic’s business, that it would be possible to uncover all material issues through a customary amount of due diligence, or that factors outside of SVF 3’s or the Post-Combination Company’s control will not later arise. As a result, the Post-Combination Company may be forced to later write-down or
write-off
assets, restructure its operations, or incur impairment or other charges that could result in losses. Even if due diligence successfully identifies certain risks, unexpected risks may arise and previously known risks may materialize in a manner not consistent with SVF 3’s preliminary risk analysis. Even though these charges may be
non-cash
items and not have an immediate impact on our liquidity, the fact the Post-Combination Company reports charges of this nature could contribute to negative market perceptions about the Post-Combination Company or its securities. Accordingly, any SVF 3 shareholder who chooses to remain a stockholder of the Post-Combination Company following the Business Combination could suffer a reduction in the value of their shares. Such stockholders are unlikely to have a remedy for such reduction in value unless they are able to successfully claim that the reduction was due to the breach by SVF 3’s officers or directors of a duty of care or other fiduciary duty owed to them, or if they are able to successfully bring a private claim under securities laws that the proxy solicitation relating to the Business Combination contained an actionable material misstatement or material omission.
Changes in laws or regulations, or a failure to comply with any laws and regulations, may adversely affect our business, investments and results of operations.
We are subject to laws, regulations and rules enacted by national, regional and local governments and NASDAQ. In particular, we are required to comply with certain SEC, NASDAQ and other legal or regulatory requirements. Compliance with, and monitoring of, applicable laws, regulations and rules may be difficult, time consuming and costly. Those laws, regulations and rules and their interpretation and application may also change from time to time and those changes could materially and adversely affect our business, investments and results of operations. In addition, a failure to comply with applicable laws, regulations and rules, as interpreted and applied, could materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations.
The Post-Combination Company has broad discretion in the use of the net proceeds from the Business Combination, the PIPE Investment and the Forward Purchase Shares and may not use them effectively.
The Post-Combination Company cannot specify with certainty the particular uses of the net proceeds it will receive from the Business Combination, the PIPE Investment and the Forward Purchase Shares. The Post-Combination Company’s management will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds. The Post-Combination Company’s management may spend a portion or all of the net proceeds in ways that its stockholders may not desire or that may not yield a favorable return. The failure by the Post-Combination Company’s management to apply these funds effectively could harm its business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. Pending their use, the Post-Combination Company may invest the net proceeds from the Business Combination, the PIPE Investment and the Forward Purchase Shares in a manner that does not produce income or that loses value.
Because the Post-Combination Company will become a public reporting company by means other than a traditional underwritten initial public offering, the shareholders of the Post-Combination Company may face additional risks and uncertainties.
Because the Post-Combination Company will become a public reporting company by means of consummating the Business Combination rather than by means of a traditional underwritten initial public

offering, there is no independent third-party underwriter selling the shares of the Post-Combination Company’s Class A common stock, and, accordingly, the stockholders of the Post-Combination Company will not have the benefit of an independent review and investigation of the type normally performed by an unaffiliated, independent underwriter in a public securities offering. Due diligence reviews typically include an independent investigation of the background of the company, any advisors and their respective affiliates, review of the offering documents and independent analysis of the plan of business and any underlying financial assumptions. Because there is no independent third-party underwriter selling the shares of the Post-Combination Company’s Class A common stock, SVF 3’s shareholders must rely on the information included in this proxy statement/prospectus. Although SVF 3’s management and advisors conducted a due diligence review and investigation of Symbotic in connection with the Business Combination, the lack of an independent due diligence review and investigation increases the risk of investment in the Post-Combination Company because it may not have uncovered facts that would be important to a potential investor.
Moreover, the Public Shareholders will not benefit from possible recourse against an underwriter for material misstatements or omissions in this proxy statement/prospectus or additional roles of the underwriters in a traditional underwritten initial public offering, such as the book-building process, which helps inform efficient price discovery, and underwriter support to help stabilize the public price of the new issue immediately after listing. The lack of such recourse process and support in connection with the Post-Combination Company’s Class A common stock could result in greater potential for errors, diminished investor demand, inefficiencies in pricing and a more volatile public price for the shares during the period immediately following the listing.
In addition, because the Post-Combination Company will not become a public reporting company by means of a traditional underwritten initial public offering, security or industry analysts may not provide, or be less likely to provide, coverage of the Post-Combination Company. Investment banks may also be less likely to agree to underwrite secondary offerings on behalf of the Post-Combination Company than they might if the Post-Combination Company became a public reporting company by means of a traditional underwritten initial public offering, because they may be less familiar with the Post-Combination Company as a result of more limited coverage by analysts and the media. The failure to receive research coverage or support in the market for the Post-Combination Company’s Class A common stock could have an adverse effect on the Post-Combination Company’s ability to develop a liquid market for the Post-Combination Company’s Class A common stock.
Risks Related to Redemption
In this section, “we,” “us” and “our” refer to SVF 3 prior to the Business Combination and to Symbotic Inc., the
Post-Combination
Company, from and following the Business Combination.
There is no guarantee that a SVF 3 Public Shareholder’s decision to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the Trust Account will put such shareholder in a better future economic position.
No assurance can be given as to the price at which a Public Shareholder may be able to sell our shares in the future following the completion of the Business Combination. Certain events following the consummation of any business combination, including the Business Combination, may cause an increase in our stock price, and may result in a lower value realized now than a SVF 3 shareholder might realize in the future had the shareholder not elected to redeem such shareholder’s Public Shares. Similarly, if a Public Shareholder does not redeem his, her, their or its shares, such shareholder will bear the risk of ownership of our common stock after the consummation of the Business Combination, and there can be no assurance that a shareholder can sell his, her, their or its shares of our common stock in the future for a greater amount than the redemption price set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus. A Public Shareholder should consult his, her, their or its own tax and/or financial advisor for assistance on how this may affect its individual situation.
77

Table of Contents
If SVF 3 Public Shareholders fail to comply with the redemption requirements specified in this proxy statement/prospectus, they will not be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the funds held in the Trust Account.
To exercise their redemption rights, holders are required to deliver their shares, either physically or electronically using Depository Trust Company’s DWAC System, to SVF 3’s transfer agent two business days prior to the vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting. If a holder properly seeks redemption as described in this proxy statement/prospectus and the Business Combination is consummated, SVF 3 will redeem these shares for a pro rata portion of funds deposited in the Trust Account and the holder will no longer own such shares following the Business Combination. See the section titled “
SVF 3’s Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders
in lieu of the 2022 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders—Redemption Rights
” for additional information on how to exercise your redemption rights.
The ability of SVF 3 shareholders to exercise redemption rights with respect to a large number of shares could increase the probability that the Business Combination would be unsuccessful and that shareholders would have to wait for liquidation in order to redeem their stock.
At the time SVF 3 entered into the Merger Agreement and related agreements for the Business Combination, SVF 3 did not know how many shareholders would exercise their redemption rights, and therefore SVF 3 structured the Business Combination based on its expectations as to the number of shares that will be submitted for redemption. The Merger Agreement requires SVF 3 to have at least $350,000,000 of Closing SVF Cash. If a larger number of shares are submitted for redemption than initially expected, we may need to restructure the transaction to reserve a greater portion of the cash in the Trust Account. The above considerations may limit our ability to complete the Business Combination or optimize our capital structure.
If you or a “group” of shareholders of which you are a part are deemed to hold an aggregate of more than 15% of the Public Shares, you (or, if a member of such a group, all of the members of such group in the aggregate) will lose the ability to redeem all such shares in excess of 15% of the Public Shares.
A Public Shareholder, together with any of his, her, their or its affiliates or any other person with whom it is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from redeeming in the aggregate his, her, their or its Public Shares or, if part of such a group, the group’s Public Shares, in excess of 15% of the Public Shares without the consent of SVF 3. Your inability to redeem any such excess Public Shares could resulting in you suffering a material loss on your investment in SVF 3 if you sell such excess Public Shares in open market transactions. SVF 3 cannot assure you that the value of such excess Public Shares will appreciate over time following the Business Combination or that the market price of the Public Shares will exceed the
per-share
redemption price.
However, SVF 3’s shareholders’ ability to vote all of their Public Shares (including such excess shares) for or against the Business Combination Proposal is not restricted by this limitation on redemption.
Other Risks
In this section, “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Symbotic prior to the Business Combination and to Symbotic Inc., or the
Post-Combination
Company, from and following the Business Combination.

Table of Contents
As a private company, we have not been required to document and test our internal controls over financial reporting, management has not been required to certify the effectiveness of our internal controls, and our auditors have not been required to opine on the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting. Failure to maintain adequate financial, IT and management processes and controls could result in material weaknesses and errors in our financial reporting, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Moreover, there are inherent limitations in all control systems, and misstatements due to error or fraud that could seriously harm our business may occur and not be detected.
As a private company, we have not been subject to the SEC’s internal control reporting requirements. Following the Business Combination, we will become subject to the SEC’s internal control over financial reporting requirements and will become subject to the auditor attestation requirements once we are no longer an “emerging growth company.” We will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest of: (i) the end of the fiscal year in which we had total annual gross revenue of $1.07 billion; (ii) the last day of our fiscal year following March 11, 2026 (the fifth anniversary of the date on which SVF 3 consummated the SVF 3 IPO); (iii) the date on which we issue more than $1.0 billion in
non-convertible
debt during the preceding three-year period; or (iv) the end of the fiscal year in which the market value of our common stock held by
non-affiliates
exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter. We may not be able to complete our evaluation, testing and any required remediation in a timely fashion. In addition, our current controls and any new controls that we develop may become inadequate because of poor design, inadequate enforcement and/or changes in our business, including increased complexity resulting from expansion. Any failure to implement and maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting could adversely affect the results of assessments by our independent registered public accounting firm and their attestation reports. As a result, we will incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses that we did not previously incur. Our entire management team and many of our other employees will need to devote substantial time to compliance and may not effectively or efficiently manage our transition into a public company.
In addition, the need to establish the corporate infrastructure demanded of a public company may also divert management’s attention from implementing our business strategy, which could prevent us from improving our business, results of operations and financial condition. We have made, and will continue to make, changes to our internal control over financial reporting, including IT controls, and procedures for financial reporting and accounting systems to meet our reporting obligations as a public company. However, the measures we take may not be sufficient to satisfy our obligations as a public company. If we do not continue to develop and implement the right processes and tools to manage our changing enterprise and maintain our culture, our ability to compete successfully and achieve our business objectives could be impaired, which could negatively impact our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, we cannot predict or estimate the amount of additional costs we may incur to comply with these requirements. We anticipate that these costs will materially increase our general and administrative expenses.
These rules and regulations result in our incurring legal and financial compliance costs and will make some activities more
time-consuming
and costly. For example, we expect these rules and regulations to make it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance, and we may be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. As a result, it may be more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified people to serve on our board of directors, our board committees or as executive officers.
Moreover, our management does not expect that our internal and disclosure controls will prevent all possible error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. In addition, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefit of controls must be relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, an evaluation of controls can only provide reasonable assurance that all material control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that
79

Table of Contents
breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Further, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons or by collusion of two or more persons. The design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Because of inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. A failure of our controls and procedures to detect error or fraud could seriously harm our business and results of operations.
We will incur increased costs as a result of operating as a public company, and our management will devote substantial time to new compliance initiatives.
If we complete the Business Combination and become a public company, we will incur significant legal, compliance, accounting and other expenses that we did not incur as a private company. As a public company, we will be subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, as well as rules adopted, and to be adopted, by the SEC and NASDAQ. Our management and other personnel will need to devote a substantial amount of time to these compliance initiatives. Moreover, we expect these rules and regulations to substantially increase our legal and financial compliance costs and to make some activities more time-consuming and costly. We cannot predict or estimate the amount or timing of additional costs we may incur to respond to these requirements. The impact of these requirements could also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on our board of directors or board committees, or as executive officers.
Our management has limited experience in operating a public company.
Our executive officers have limited experience in the management of a publicly traded company. Our management team may not successfully or effectively manage our transition to a public company that will be subject to significant regulatory oversight and reporting obligations under federal securities laws. Their limited experience in dealing with the increasingly complex laws pertaining to public companies could be a significant disadvantage in that it is likely that an increasing amount of their time may be devoted to these activities, which will result in less time being devoted to the management and growth of the post-combination company. Our personnel have limited knowledge, experience and training in the accounting policies, practices or internal control over financial reporting required of public companies in the United States.
The development and implementation of the standards and controls necessary for us to achieve the level of accounting standards required of a public company in the United States may require costs greater than expected. It is possible that we will be required to expand our employee base and hire additional employees to support our operations as a public company, which will increase our operating costs in future periods.
The dual class structure of our common stock has the effect of concentrating voting control with the Symbotic Founder, certain family members of the Symbotic Founder and certain affiliated entities and trusts of the Symbotic Founder and his family members; this will limit or preclude your ability to influence corporate matters.
After the Business Combination, our
Class V-3
common stock will have three votes per share and our Class A common stock and
Class V-1
common stock will have one vote per share.
Class V-3
common stock convert into
Class V-1
common stock in certain situations, including automatically seven years following the Business Combination. Our Founder, Board Chair, President and Chief Product Officer, Richard B. Cohen, together with certain family members and certain affiliated entities and trusts of Mr. Cohen and his family members, in the aggregate, will hold
Class V-3
common stock and 90.0% of the voting power of our outstanding common stock after the Business Combination assuming No Redemptions and will be able to control all matters submitted to our stockholders for approval. This concentrated control will limit or preclude your ability to influence corporate matters for the foreseeable future.
80

Table of Contents
Transfers by holders of
Class V-3
common stock will generally result in those shares converting to
Class V-1
common stock, subject to limited exceptions, such as certain transfers effected for estate planning or charitable purposes. The conversion of
Class V-3
common stock to
Class V-1
common stock will have the effect, over time, of increasing the relative voting power of those holders of
Class V-3
common stock who retain their shares in the long term. If, for example, Mr. Cohen retains, including through his affiliated entities and trusts, a significant portion of his holdings of
Class V-3
common stock for an extended period of time, he could, in the future, continue to control a significant portion of the combined voting power of our outstanding capital stock.
Our multi-class capital structure may render our shares ineligible for inclusion in certain stock market indices, which could adversely affect the share price and liquidity of our common stock.
We cannot predict whether our multi-class structure will result in a lower or more volatile market price of our Class A common stock, in adverse publicity, or other adverse consequences. For example, certain index providers have announced restrictions on including companies with multi-class share structures in certain of their indices. In July 2017, FTSE Russell announced that it plans to require new constituencies of its indices to have greater than 5% of our voting rights in the hands of public stockholders, and S&P Dow Jones announced that it will no longer admit companies with multi-class share structures to certain of its indices. Affected indices include the Russell 2000 and the S&P 500, S&P MidCap 400 and S&P SmallCap 600, which together make up the S&P Composite 1500. Also in 2017, MSCI, a leading stock index provider, opened public consultations on their treatment of no-vote and multi-class structures and temporarily barred new multi-class listings from certain of its indices and in October 2018, MSCI announced its decision to include equity securities “with unequal voting structures” in its indices and to launch a new index that specifically includes voting rights in its eligibility criteria. Under such announced policies, the multi-class structure of our common stock may make us ineligible for inclusion in certain indices and, as a result, mutual funds, exchange-traded funds, and other investment vehicles that attempt to track those indices would not invest in our Class A common stock. These policies are relatively new and it is unclear what effect, if any, they will have on the valuations of publicly-traded companies excluded from such indices, but it is possible that they may depress valuations, as compared to similar companies that are included. Given the sustained flow of investment funds into passive strategies that seek to track certain indices, exclusion from certain stock indices would likely preclude investment by many of these funds and could make our Class A common stock less attractive to other investors. As a result, the market price of our Class A common stock could be adversely affected.
We share certain key executives with C&S Wholesale Grocers, an important customer, which means those executives will not devote their full time and attention to our affairs, and the overlap may give rise to conflicts.
Our Founder, Board Chair, President and Chief Product Officer, Richard B. Cohen, also serves as the Executive Chairman of C&S Wholesale Grocers and he and trusts for the benefit of his family are the only beneficial stockholders of that company. In addition, our Chief Strategy Officer, William Boyd, also serves as Executive Vice President and Chief Legal Officer of C&S Wholesale Grocers. As a result, not all of our executive officers devote their full time and attention to our affairs and are compensated separately by C&S Wholesale Grocers and its subsidiaries. The overlapping executives may have actual or apparent conflicts of interest with respect to matters involving or affecting each company. For example, the potential for a conflict of interest exists when we, on the one hand, and C&S Wholesale Grocers, on the other hand, look at certain corporate opportunities that may be suitable for either company. Also, conflicts may arise if there are issues or disputes under the commercial arrangements that exist between us and C&S Wholesale Grocers. These overlapping executives’ ownership interests in us and C&S Wholesale Grocers could create actual, apparent or potential conflicts of interest if they are faced with decisions that have different implications for us and C&S Wholesale Grocers. See “
Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions
” for a discussion of certain procedures we instituted to help ameliorate such potential conflicts with C&S Wholesale Grocers that may arise.
81

Table of Contents
Our overlapping executive officers and directors with C&S Wholesale Grocers may result in the diversion of corporate opportunities to C&S Wholesale Grocers and other conflicts, and provisions in our certificate of incorporation may provide us no remedy in those circumstances.
We acknowledge that our executive officers and directors may also be serving as directors, officers, employees, consultants or agents of C&S Wholesale Grocers and its subsidiaries and that we may engage in material business transactions with such entities. At the Closing, our Board of Directors intends to adopt resolutions putting in place policies and arrangements whereby we will renounce our rights to certain business opportunities and no director or officer who is also serving as a director, officer, employee, consultant or agent of C&S Wholesale Grocers will be liable to us or our stockholders for breach of any fiduciary duty that would otherwise occur by reason of the fact that any such individual directs a corporate opportunity to C&S Wholesale Grocers or any of its subsidiaries instead of us, or does not refer or communicate information regarding such corporate opportunities to us.
Our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows could be significantly hindered by the occurrence of a natural disaster, terrorist attack or other catastrophic event. We also face risks related to health pandemics or epidemics, including the ongoing
COVID-19
pandemic, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our business operations and our warehouse automation systems may be susceptible to outages due to fire, floods, unusual weather conditions, power loss, telecommunications failures, health pandemics or epidemics, terrorist attacks and other events beyond our control. Natural disasters including tornados, hurricanes, floods and earthquakes may damage the facilities of our customers, which could lead to reduced revenue for our customers and thus reduced sales. In addition, a substantial portion of our operations following the Business Combination will rely on support from our headquarters in Wilmington, Massachusetts. To the extent that fire, floods, unusual weather conditions, power loss, telecommunications failures, health pandemics or epidemics, terrorist attacks and other events beyond our control materially impact our ability to operate those offices, it may have a material impact on our business operations as a whole. To the extent that such events disrupt our business or the business of our current or prospective customers, or adversely impact our reputation, such events could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
While our business and results of operations have not been adversely affected by
the COVID-19 pandemic
and related governmental responses, a resurgence in the
COVID-19
outbreak or related governmental restrictions could adversely affect our future business operations and condition and operating results. New governmental responses implemented to contain the outbreak
of COVID-19 or
its impact, including travel restrictions, the shutdown of businesses and quarantines, among others, could affect our ability to meet with potential customers, install warehouse automation systems for our customers or the ability of our personnel, suppliers and partners to operate in the ordinary course. The
COVID-19
pandemic may also materially adversely affect our future business operations and condition and operating results. The extent to which the
COVID-19
pandemic continues to impact us will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.
We are subject to U.S. and foreign anti-corruption and anti-money laundering laws and regulations and could face criminal liability and other serious consequences for violations, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We are subject to the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended, the U.S. domestic bribery statute contained in 18 U.S.C. § 201, the U.S. Travel Act and the USA PATRIOT Act, and are or will be subject to other anti-bribery and anti-money laundering laws in countries in which we conduct or will conduct activities. Anti-corruption laws are interpreted broadly and prohibit companies and their employees, agents, contractors and other collaborators from authorizing, promising, offering or providing, directly or indirectly, improper payments or anything else of value to recipients in the public or private sector. We can be held liable for the corrupt or other illegal activities of our employees, agents, contractors and other collaborators, even if we do not explicitly
82

authorize or have actual knowledge of such activities. Any violations of the laws and regulations described above may result in substantial civil and criminal fines and penalties, imprisonment, the loss of export or import privileges, debarment, tax reassessments, breach of contract and fraud litigation, reputational harm and other consequences.
Any future litigation against us could be costly and time-consuming to defend.
We are, and may become, subject to legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business, such as claims brought by our customers in connection with commercial disputes or employment claims made by our current or former employees. Litigation might result in substantial costs and may divert management’s attention and resources, which might seriously harm our business, financial condition and results of operations. Insurance might not cover such claims, might not provide sufficient payments to cover all the costs to resolve one or more such claims and might not continue to be available on terms acceptable to us. A claim brought against us that is uninsured or underinsured could result in unanticipated costs, potentially harming our business, financial position and results of operations.
Changes to applicable U.S. tax laws and regulations or exposure to additional income tax liabilities could harm our future profitability or otherwise adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Following the Business Combination, the Post-Combination Company will be a U.S. corporation and thus subject to U.S. corporate income tax on our worldwide operations. Moreover, the majority of our operations and customers are located in the United States, and, as a result, we are subject to various U.S. federal, state and local taxes. New U.S. laws and policy relating to taxes may have an adverse effect on our business and future profitability.
For example, President Joe Biden has set forth several tax proposals that would, if enacted, make significant changes to U.S. tax laws. Such proposals include an increase in the U.S. income tax rate applicable to corporations (such as us) from 21% to 28%. Congress may consider, and could include, this proposal in connection with tax reform to be undertaken by the Biden administration. It is unclear whether this or similar changes will be enacted and, if enacted, how soon any such changes could take effect. The passage of any legislation as a result of this proposal and other similar changes in U.S. federal income tax laws could adversely affect our business, cash flows and future profitability.
Further, new income, sales, use or other tax laws, statutes, rules, regulations or ordinances, in the United States or in other jurisdictions, could be enacted at any time, which could adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition, future profitability and operating results. In addition, existing tax laws, statutes, rules, regulations or ordinances could be interpreted, changed, modified or applied adversely to us and may have an adverse effect on our business, cash flows and future profitability.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Introduction
SVF 3 is providing the following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information to aid you in your analysis of the financial aspects of the Business Combination. The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation
S-X
which provides pro forma adjustment criteria with requirements to depict the accounting for the transaction (“Transaction Accounting Adjustments”) and present the reasonably estimable synergies and other transaction effects that have occurred or reasonably expected to occur (“Management’s Adjustments”). SVF 3 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.
SVF 3 is a blank check company originally incorporated on December 11, 2020 as a Cayman Islands exempted company for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization, or similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities.
Symbotic develops, commercializes, and deploys innovative,
end-to-end
technology solutions that dramatically improve supply chain operations. Symbotic currently automates the processing of pallets and cases in large warehouses or distribution centers for some of the largest retail companies in the world. Its systems enhance operations at the front end of the supply chain, and therefore benefit all supply partners further down the chain, irrespective of fulfillment strategy.
SVF 3 and Warehouse have different fiscal years. SVF 3’s fiscal year ends December 31 whereas Warehouse’s fiscal year ends on the last Saturday of September (e.g. September 25, 2021 for its latest fiscal year end). The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared utilizing Warehouse’s fiscal year end as that will be the year end for the Post-Combination Company.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of March 26, 2022 combines the historical balance sheet of SVF 3 as of March 31, 2022 with the historical balance sheet of Warehouse as of March 26, 2022. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of March 26, 2022 assumes that the Business Combination occurred on March 26, 2022.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for six months ended March 26, 2022 combines the historical results of SVF 3 for six months ended March 31, 2022 with the historical results of Warehouse for its six months ended March 26, 2022.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for twelve months ended September 25, 2021 combines the historical results of SVF 3 for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 with the historical results of Warehouse for its fiscal year ended September 25, 2021. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended September 25, 2021 presents the Business Combination as if it had been consummated on September 27, 2020.
The historical financial information of SVF 3 was derived from the audited financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021, included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus; unaudited financial statements as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, included in its Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q
filed with the SEC dated January 26, 2022, and the unaudited financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2022, included in its Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q
filed with the SEC dated May 13, 2022. The historical statement of operations of SVF for six months ended March 31, 2022 was calculated by summation of the amounts derived by subtracting the statement of operations for nine months ended September 30, 2021 from the statement of operations for year ended December 31, 2021 and the statement of operations for three months ended March 31, 2022. The historical financial information of Warehouse was

derived from the unaudited consolidated financial statements as of and for six months ended March 26, 2022 and audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended September 25, 2021 included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. This information should be read together with the SVF 3’s and Warehouse’s financial statements and related notes, the sections titled “

The Business Combination and related transactions described are not yet complete. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been presented for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the financial position and results of operations that would have been achieved had the Business Combination and related transactions occurred 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 historical financial statements and notes thereto of SVF 3 and Warehouse.
The actual financial position and results of operations may differ significantly from the pro forma amounts reflected herein due to a variety of factors. The unaudited pro forma adjustments represent management’s estimates based on information available as of the date of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and is subject to change as additional information becomes available and analyses are performed.
Description of the Business Combination
On December 12, 2021, (a) SVF 3 and Merger Sub, a wholly owned subsidiary of SVF 3, entered into the Merger Agreement with Warehouse and Symbotic Holdings, a wholly owned subsidiary of Warehouse, and (b) Warehouse and Symbotic Holdings entered into the Company Merger Agreement. If the Company Merger Agreement, the Merger Agreement, the transactions contemplated thereby and the related matters described herein are adopted by SVF 3’s shareholders and Warehouse’s unitholders, as applicable, (i) Warehouse will merge with and into Symbotic Holdings, with Symbotic Holdings surviving the merger and (ii) immediately thereafter, Merger Sub will merge with and into Interim Symbotic, with Interim Symbotic surviving the merger as a subsidiary of the Post-Combination Company. Prior to the consummation of the Merger, SVF 3 will transfer by way of continuation from the Cayman Islands and domesticate as a Delaware corporation. Following the Domestication and simultaneously with the Closing, SVF 3 will change its corporate name to “Symbotic Inc.”
The aggregate consideration to be paid to unitholders of Warehouse in the Business Combination will be based on an equity value for Warehouse equal to the sum of (i) $4,500,000,000,
plus
(ii) the Repurchase Amount,
plus
(iii) the amount of any cash received or paid by Warehouse on or prior to the Closing in connection with the settlement of any Warehouse warrants currently outstanding. The Repurchase Amount is an amount equal to (i) $126,000,000 plus (ii) the Net Warrant Exercise Proceeds, provided that the Repurchase Amount shall not exceed $300,000,000 or be less than $0. On December 15, 2021 and May 20, 2022, Walmart consummated the gross exercise of vested warrant units for $173,795,651 and for $103,980,327 respectively, and therefore, the Net Warrant Exercise Proceeds and the Repurchase Amount are currently $277,775,978 and $300,000,000, respectively.
The organizational structure following the Business Combination will be what is commonly referred to as an
“Up-C”
structure. The
Up-C
structure allows holders of Warehouse to retain their direct equity ownership in New Symbotic Holdings, an entity that is classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, in the form of New Symbotic Holdings Common Units following the Business Combination.
Upon the effectiveness of the Company Reorganization, each unit of Warehouse (other than the Warehouse Dissenting Units) will be converted into the right to receive a number of Interim Symbotic Common Units equal to (i) the amount such unit of Warehouse would have been entitled to receive had the Equity Value been distributed in cash pursuant to the Fifth Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of Warehouse, dated as of April 30, 2021, divided by (ii) $10.00.
85

Table of Contents
Immediately after the consummation of the Company Reorganization, upon the effectiveness of the Merger, each Interim Symbotic Common Unit will be converted into (a) the right to receive a number of New Symbotic Holdings Common Units equal to the Exchange Ratio; (b) with respect to the Interim Symbotic Common Units held by the Symbotic Founder, certain family members of the Symbotic Founder and certain affiliated entities and trusts of the Symbotic Founder and his family members, the right to receive a number of Post-Combination Company’s
Class V-3
common stock, equal to the number of New Symbotic Holdings Common Units received by such party, (c) with respect to Interim Symbotic Common Units held by holders other than those set forth in clause (b), the right to receive a number of the Post-Combination Company’s
Class V-1
common stock equal to the number of New Symbotic Holdings Common Units received by such party, and (d) the contingent right to receive certain Earnout Interests as described below.
Class V-1
and
Class V-3
common stock are
non-economic
voting shares in Symbotic Inc.;
Class V-1
common stock have one vote per share and
Class V-3
common stock have three votes per share.
Following (but on the date of) the Closing, pursuant to the Unit Purchase Agreement, the Post-Combination Company will purchase from certain affiliated entities and trusts of the Symbotic Founder and his family members an aggregate number of New Symbotic Holdings Common Units equal to the Repurchase Amount, divided by $10.00, in each case, at a price of $10.00 per Purchase Unit in cash.
In connection with the Closing, SVF 3 will enter into the Tax Receivable Agreement with the TRA Holders and New Symbotic Holdings. The Tax Receivable Agreement will generally provide for the payment by the Post-Combination Company to the TRA Holders of 85% of the amount of the cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal and state income tax that the Post-Combination Company actually realizes (or is deemed to realize in certain circumstances) in periods after the Closing as a result of (i) the existing tax basis in certain assets of New Symbotic Holdings that is allocable to the relevant New Symbotic Holdings Common Units, (ii) any
step-up
in tax basis in New Symbotic Holdings’ assets resulting from (a) certain purchases of New Symbotic Holdings Common Units (including the purchases of the Purchase Units pursuant to the Unit Purchase Agreement), (b) future exchanges of New Symbotic Holdings Common Units for cash or shares of the Post-Combination Company’s Class A common stock, (c) certain distributions (if any) by New Symbotic Holdings and (d) payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement, and (iii) tax benefits related to imputed interest deemed to be paid by the Post-Combination Company as a result of payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement. No Tax Receivable Agreement liability has been recorded and the pro forma presentation has not given effect to any TRA adjustment.
If holders of New Symbotic Holdings Common Units were to exchange all of their units, the Post-Combination Company would recognize a deferred tax asset related to the Tax Receivable Agreement of approximately $1,632.1 million and a liability under the Tax Receivable Agreement of approximately $1,387.3 million, assuming: (i) all exchanges or purchases occurred on the same day; (ii) a price of $10.00 per share of Class A common stock; (iii) a constant corporate tax rate of 25.1%; (iv) that the Post-Combination Company will have sufficient taxable income to utilize the tax benefits and (v) no material changes in tax law. For each $1.00 increase (decrease) in the assumed share price of $10.00 per share of Class A common stock, the deferred tax asset related to the Tax Receivable Agreement would increase (decrease) by approximately $152.8 million and the related liability would increase (decrease) by approximately $129.9 million, assuming that the number of units exchanged, and corporate tax rate remain the same. These amounts are estimates and have been prepared for informational purposes only. The actual amount of deferred tax assets and related liabilities that the Post-Combination Company will recognize will differ based on, among other things, the timing of exchanges, the price per share of Class A common stock at the time of exchange, and the tax rates then in effect.
In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, SVF 3 entered into Subscription Agreements with certain parties subscribing for shares of Class A common stock pursuant to which the Subscribers have agreed to purchase, and SVF 3 has agreed to sell to the Subscribers, an aggregate of 20,500,000 shares of Class A common stock at a purchase price of $10.00 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $205,000,000.
86

Table of Contents
In connection with the SVF 3 IPO, SVF 3 entered into a Forward Purchase Agreement with an affiliate of the Sponsor which provides for the purchase of $150,000,000 of Class A ordinary shares for $10.00 per share, in a private placement to close substantially concurrently with the closing of SVF 3’s initial business combination. The Forward Purchase Agreement also provided that the Forward Purchase Investor may elect to purchase up to an additional $50 million of Forward Purchase Shares, for a purchase price of $10.00 per share. The Forward Purchase Investor has elected to purchase 5,000,000 additional Forward Purchase Shares for aggregate proceeds of $50,000,000 immediately prior to the Closing.
Earnout Interests and Sponsor Shares
The holders of outstanding New Symbotic Holdings Common Units as of the Effective Time will also have contingent rights to receive up to an aggregate of 20,000,000 New Symbotic Holdings Common Units and an equal number of shares of the Post-Combination Company’s
Class V-1
common stock (or such other shares or other securities into which such New Symbotic Holdings Common Units and/or the Post-Combination Company’s
Class V-1
common stock are converted, exchanged, reclassified or otherwise changed, as the case may be, from time to time). Each holder of New Symbotic Holdings Common Units will be entitled to receive their pro rata share of the Earnout Interests in three tranches upon the occurrence of the following milestones on or prior to the seventh anniversary of the Closing: (i) a
one-time
issuance of 6,666,667 Earnout Interests on the first date on which the Earnout VWAP Price is greater than or equal to $12.00; (ii) a
one-time
issuance of 6,666,667 Earnout Interests on the first date on which the Earnout VWAP Price is greater than or equal to $14.00; and (iii) a
one-time
issuance of 6,666,666 Earnout Interests on the first date on which the Earnout VWAP Price is greater than or equal to $16.00.
In connection with the Business Combination, the 9,040,000 Sponsor Shares will automatically convert to the Post-Combination Company’s Class A common stock. Pursuant to the Sponsor Letter Agreement, (i) 60% or 5,424,000 Sponsor Shares will vest at the Closing, (ii) 20% or 1,808,000 Sponsor Shares will vest at such time as Triggering Event I occurs on or before the seventh anniversary of the Closing, and (iii) 20% or 1,808,000 of the Sponsor Shares will vest at such as Triggering Event II occurs on or before the seventh anniversary of the Closing. Any Sponsor Shares that remain unvested after the seventh anniversary of the Closing will be forfeited.
The Earnout Interests and unvested Sponsor Shares are classified within equity on the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet.
Accounting for the Business Combination
Under both the No Redemption and Redemptions to Minimum Cash Condition Scenarios, the Business Combination will be accounted for as a reverse recapitalization, in accordance with GAAP. Under this method of accounting, SVF 3 will be treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes with Warehouse considered to be the accounting acquirer. The Symbotic Founder, certain family members of the Symbotic Founder and certain affiliated entities and trusts of the Symbotic Founder and his family members continue to control Warehouse before and after the Business Combination. As there is no change in control, Warehouse has been determined to be the accounting acquirer based on evaluation of the following facts and circumstances:

| • |  | The Symbotic Founder, certain family members of the Symbotic Founder and certain affiliated entities and trusts of the Symbotic Founder and his family members will have a majority of the voting power of the Post-Combination Company under both the no redemption and redemptions to minimum cash condition scenarios;

| • |  | The Symbotic Founder, certain family members of the Symbotic Founder and certain affiliated entities and trusts of the Symbotic Founder and his family members will have the ability to nominate and represent majority of the Post-Combination Company’s Board;

| • |  | Warehouse’s former management will comprise the vast majority of the management and executive positions of the Post-Combination Company.

87

Table of Contents
Accordingly, although SVF 3 is the legal parent company, for accounting purposes, the financial statement of the combined entity will represent a continuation of financial statement of Warehouse, with the Business Combination treated as the equivalent of Warehouse issuing stock for the net assets of SVF 3, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of Warehouse will be stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Operations prior to the Business Combination will be those of Warehouse.
Basis of Pro Forma Presentation
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared using the assumptions below with respect to the potential redemption into cash of ordinary shares:

| • |  | Assuming No Redemptions : This scenario assumes that no public shareholders of SVF 3 exercise redemption rights with respect to their Public Shares for a pro rata share of the funds in the Trust Account.

| • |  | Assuming Redemptions to Minimum Cash Condition: For the purposes of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information, this scenario assumes that 30,828,457 SVF 3 Class A ordinary shares are redeemed for an aggregate payment of approximately $308 million (based on the estimated per share redemption price of approximately $10.00 per share) from the Trust Account. Although all 31,887,500 SVF 3 Class A ordinary shares are subject to redemption (not including 112,500 Class A ordinary shares originally issued in the SVF 3 IPO and purchased by certain directors and officers of SVF 3, which are not subject to redemption in connection with the Business Combination), the Merger Agreement includes a Minimum Cash Condition, of $350.0 million comprising (i) the cash held in the trust account after giving effect to the SVF 3 share redemptions and settlement of outstanding transaction expenses (ii) Cash and Cash Equivalents of SVF 3 and (iii) proceeds from the PIPE Investment and the sale of Forward Purchase Shares.

The following summarizes the pro forma common stock outstanding under the two redemption scenarios:

|  | Assuming No Redemptions (Shares) |  |  | % |  |  | Assuming Redemptions to Minimum Cash Condition (Shares) |  |  | % |
Class A—Public Stockholders |  |  | 32,000,000 |  |  |  | 5.8 | % |  |  | 1,171,543 |  |  |  | 0.2 | %

Total Shares at Closing |  |  | 555,901,598 |  |  |  | 100.0 | % |  |  | 525,073,141 |  |  |  | 100.0 | %

(1) | Excludes 20,000,000 Earnout Interest and 3,616,000 Sponsor Shares subject to vesting based on achievement of certain share price targets.

(2) | Excludes approximately 15,870,411 unvested Warehouse warrants.

(3) | Class V-1 and V-3 common stock are non-economic and carry one and three votes per share, respectively, whereas Class A Common Stock are economic shares and will have one vote per share.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of March 26, 2022 and the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the six months ended March 26, 2022 and year ended September 25, 2021 are based on the historical financial statements of SVF 3 and Warehouse.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

1. | 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 GAAP. Under this method of accounting, SVF 3 will be treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, the Business Combination will be treated as the equivalent of Warehouse issuing stock for the net assets of SVF 3, accompanied by a recapitalization.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of March 26, 2022 assumes that the Business Combination occurred on March 26, 2022. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the six months ended March 26, 2022 and year ended September 25, 2021 present pro forma effect to the Business Combination as if it had been completed on September 27, 2020.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of March 26, 2022 has been prepared using, and should be read in conjunction with, the following:

| • |  | SVF 3’s unaudited statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and the related notes, as filed with SEC in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q on January 26, 2022; and

| • |  | SVF 3’s unaudited statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and the related notes, as filed with SEC in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q on May 13, 2022; and

| • |  | Warehouse’s unaudited consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended March 26, 2022 and the related notes, included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended September 25, 2021 has been prepared using, and should be read in conjunction with, the following:

Management of SVF 3 and Warehouse has made significant estimates and assumptions in its determination of the pro forma adjustments. As the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared based on these preliminary estimates, the final amounts recorded may differ materially from the information presented.
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.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not reflect the income tax effects of the pro forma adjustments as based on the statutory rate in effect for the historical periods presented, as

Table of Contents
management believes income tax adjustments to not be meaningful given the combined entity incurred significant losses during the historical periods presented.
SVF 3 and Warehouse 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 Business Combination and related transactions described are not yet complete. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been presented for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the financial position and results of operations that would have been achieved had the Business Combination and related transactions occurred 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 historical financial statements and notes thereto of SVF 3 and Warehouse.
The actual financial position and results of operations may differ significantly from the pro forma amounts reflected herein due to a variety of factors. The unaudited pro forma adjustments represent management’s estimates based on information available as of the date of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and is subject to change as additional information becomes available and analyses are performed.

| 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. Based on its initial analysis, management did not identify any differences that would have a material impact on the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. As a result, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not assume any differences in accounting policies.

| 4. | Loss per Share

Represents the net loss per share calculated using the historical weighted average shares outstanding and the issuance of additional shares in connection with the Business Combination, assuming the shares were outstanding since September 27, 2020. As the Business Combination and related proposed equity transactions are being reflected as if they had occurred at the beginning of the periods presented, the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding for basic and diluted net loss per share assumes that the shares issuable relating to the Business Combination have been outstanding for the entire periods presented. If the maximum number of shares are redeemed, this calculation is retroactively adjusted to eliminate such shares for the entire periods.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared assuming two alternative levels of redemption for the six months ended March 26, 2022 and year ended September 25, 2021:

COMPARATIVE PER SHARE INFORMATION
The following table sets forth selected historical comparative share information for the Warehouse and SVF 3 and unaudited pro forma condensed combined per share information of the Post-Combination Company after giving effect to the Business Combination, assuming two redemption scenarios as follows:

| • |  | Assuming No Redemptions: This scenario assumes that no public shareholders of SVF 3 exercise redemption rights with respect to their Public Shares for a pro rata share of the funds in the Trust Account.

| • |  | Assuming Redemptions to Minimum Cash Condition: For the purposes of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information, this scenario assumes that 30,828,457 SVF 3 Class A ordinary shares are redeemed for an aggregate payment of approximately $308 million (based on the estimated per share redemption price of approximately $10.00 per share) from the Trust Account. Although all 31,887,500 SVF 3 Class A ordinary shares are subject to redemption (not including 112,500 Class A ordinary shares originally issued in the SVF 3 IPO and purchased by certain directors and officers of SVF 3, which are not subject to redemption in connection with the Business Combination), the Merger Agreement includes a Minimum Cash Condition of $350.0 million comprising (i) the cash held in the trust account after giving effect to the SVF 3 share redemptions and settlement of outstanding transaction expenses (ii) Cash and Cash Equivalents of SVF 3 and (iii) proceeds from the PIPE Investment and the sale of Forward Purchase Shares. The pro forma book value information reflects the Business Combination as if they had occurred on March 26, 2022. The weighted average shares outstanding and net earnings per share information reflect the Business Combination, as if, it had occurred on September 27, 2020.

This information is only a summary and should be read together with the selected historical financial information included elsewhere in this proxy statement, and the historical financial statements of the Warehouse and SVF 3 and related notes. The unaudited pro forma combined per share information of SVF 3 and Warehouse is derived from, and should be read in conjunction with, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this proxy statement.
The unaudited pro forma combined earnings per share information below does not purport to represent the earnings per share which would have occurred had the companies been combined during the periods presented, nor earnings per share for any future date or period.

The Initial Shareholders and SVF 3’s directors and officers, who currently own 22.3% of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares, will count towards this quorum. As of the SVF 3 Record Date, 20,520,001 ordinary shares would be required to achieve a quorum.
The approval of each of the Business Combination Proposal, the Governance Proposals, the Director Election Proposal, the Merger Issuance Proposal, the Subscription Agreements Proposal, the Incentive Compensation Plan Proposal, the ESPP Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal, if presented, will require the approval of an ordinary resolution, being the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the votes cast by the shareholders present in person (which would include presence at a virtual meeting) or represented by proxy at the quorate Extraordinary General Meeting and entitled to vote on such matter. Accordingly, a shareholder’s failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person (which would include presence at a virtual meeting) at the Extraordinary General Meeting, as well as an abstention from voting and a broker

Combination Proposal, the Governance Proposals, the Merger Issuance Proposal, the Subscription Agreements Proposal, the Incentive Compensation Plan Proposal, the ESPP Proposal or the Adjournment Proposal, if presented, will have no effect on the Business Combination Proposal, the Governance Proposals, the Merger Issuance Proposal, the Subscription Agreements Proposal, the Incentive Compensation Plan Proposal, the ESPP Proposal or the Adjournment Proposal. SVF 3’s Sponsor and its directors and officers have agreed to vote their ordinary shares in favor of each of the proposals presented at the Extraordinary General Meeting.
The approval of the Domestication Proposal and the Organizational Documents Proposal will require the approval of a special resolution, being the affirmative vote of at least a
two-thirds
(2/3) majority of the votes cast by the shareholders present in person (which would include presence at a virtual meeting) or represented by proxy at the quorate Extraordinary General Meeting and entitled to vote on such matter. Accordingly, a shareholder’s failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person (which would include presence at a virtual meeting) at the Extraordinary General Meeting, as well as an abstention from voting and a broker
non-vote
with regard to the Domestication Proposal or the Organizational Documents Proposal, will have no effect on such proposal.
The Business Combination is conditioned on the approval of the Condition Precedent Proposals at the Extraordinary General Meeting, subject to the terms of the Merger Agreement. The Business Combination is not conditioned on the Governance Proposals, the Director Election Proposal or the Adjournment Proposal. If any of the Condition Precedent Proposals is not approved, the other proposals, except the Adjournment Proposal, will not be presented to the shareholders for a vote.
It is important for you to note that in the event that the Condition Precedent Proposals do not receive the requisite vote for approval, SVF 3 will not consummate the Business Combination. If SVF 3 does not consummate the Business Combination and fails to complete an initial business combination within the Completion Window, it will be required to dissolve and liquidate the Trust Account by returning the then remaining funds in such account to its Public Shareholders.
Recommendation of SVF 3 Board of Directors
The SVF 3 Board unanimously determined that the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Business Combination, were advisable, fair to, and in the best interests of, SVF 3 and its shareholders. Accordingly, the SVF 3 Board unanimously recommends that its shareholders “FOR” each of the Business Combination Proposal, the Domestication Proposal, the Organizational Documents Proposal, the Governance Proposals, the Director Election Proposal, the Merger Issuance Proposal, the Subscription Agreements Proposal, the Incentive Compensation Plan Proposal, the ESPP Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal.
In considering the recommendation of the SVF 3 Board to vote in favor of approval of the proposals, shareholders should keep in mind that the Sponsor and SVF 3’s directors and officers have interests in such proposals that are different from or in addition to (and which may conflict with) those of SVF 3 shareholders. Shareholders should take these interests into account in deciding whether to approve the proposals presented at the Extraordinary General Meeting, including the Business Combination Proposal. These interests include, among other things:

| • |  | The Articles provide that SVF 3 renounce its interest or expectancy in any corporate opportunity about which any director or officer of SVF 3 acquires knowledge unless such opportunity is expressly offered to such person solely in his or her capacity as SVF 3’s director or officer and such opportunity is one that the Company is able to complete on a reasonable basis. Certain of SVF 3’s officers and directors have, and any of them in the future may have additional, fiduciary or contractual obligations to other entities that are sponsored by affiliates of the Sponsor. SVF 3 does not believe, however, that such pre-existing fiduciary duties or contractual obligations of its officers and directors materially affected its search for an acquisition target.

103

| • |  | If the Business Combination with Symbotic or another business combination is not consummated within the Completion Window, SVF 3 will cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, redeeming 100% of the outstanding Public Shares for cash and, subject to the approval of its remaining shareholders and the SVF 3 Board, dissolving and liquidating. In such event, the 8,000,000 Founder Shares held by SVF 3’s Initial Shareholders which were acquired for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000 prior to the SVF 3 IPO, would be worthless because SVF 3’s Initial Shareholders are not entitled to participate in any redemption or distribution with respect to such shares. Such Founder Shares had an aggregate market value of $79,280,000 based upon the closing price of $9.91 per Class A ordinary share on NASDAQ on April 25, 2022, the SVF 3 Record Date. Certain Founder Shares are subject to certain performance-based vesting provisions as described under “ The Business Combination —Other Agreements—Sponsor Letter Agreement. ”

| • |  | Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, SVF 3 consummated a private sale of 1,040,000 Class A ordinary shares (the “Private Placement”) at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Share to our Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of approximately $10,400,000. If we do not consummate a business combination transaction within the Completion Window, then the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Shares will be part of the liquidating distribution to the Public Shareholders and the Private Placement Shares held by the Sponsor will be worthless.

| • |  | If SVF 3 is unable to complete a business combination within the Completion Window, its officers will be personally liable under certain circumstances described herein to ensure that the proceeds in the Trust Account are not reduced by the claims of target businesses or claims of vendors or other entities that are owed money by SVF 3 for services rendered or contracted for or products sold to SVF 3. If SVF 3 consummates a business combination, on the other hand, SVF 3 will be liable for all such claims.

| • |  | SVF 3’s directors and officers and their affiliates are entitled to reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection with certain activities on SVF 3’s behalf, such as identifying and investigating possible business targets and business combinations. However, if SVF 3 fails to consummate a business combination within the Completion Window, they will not have any claim against the Trust Account for such reimbursement. Accordingly, SVF 3 may not be able to reimburse these expenses if the Business Combination or another business combination is not consummated within the Completion Window.

| • |  | The continued indemnification of current directors and officers and the continuation of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance.

| • |  | Our Sponsor, officers and directors collectively (including entities controlled by officers and directors) have made an aggregate investment of $11,550,000, or $1.26 per SVF 3 ordinary share (including the 8,000,000 Founder Shares, the 1,040,000 Private Placement Shares and the purchase of 112,500 Public Shares in connection with the SVF 3 IPO). Such shares had an aggregate market value of $90,701,275 based upon the closing price of $9.91 per Class A ordinary share on NASDAQ on April 25, 2022, the SVF 3 Record Date (of which 150,000 Founder Shares and 112,500 Public Shares were held by our directors and officers, which had an aggregate market value of $2,601,375 based upon the closing price of $9.91 per Class A ordinary share on NASDAQ on April 25, 2022, the SVF 3 Record Date). As a result of the significantly lower investment per share of our Sponsor, directors and officers as compared with the investment per share of our Public Shareholders, a transaction which results in an increase in the value of the investment of our Sponsor, directors and officers may result in a decrease in the value of the investment of our Public Shareholders. These interests could, in theory, incentivize our Sponsor, directors and officers to complete a business combination with a less favorable target company or on terms less favorable to stockholders rather than liquidate.

| • |  | There will be no liquidating distributions from our Trust Account with respect to the Founder Shares or the Private Placement Shares if we fail to complete a business combination within the Completion Window. Our Sponsor purchased the Founder Shares prior to the SVF 3 IPO for an aggregate purchase

| price of $25,000, and transferred 50,000 Founder Shares to each of Michael Carpenter, Michael Tobin and Cristiana Falcone for aggregate consideration of $300.

| • |  | Following the Closing, the Sponsor would be entitled to the repayment of any Working Capital Loans and advances that have been made to SVF 3 and remain outstanding. On August 10, 2021, the Sponsor agreed to loan SVF 3 $2.0 million as a Working Capital Loan. On November 9, 2021, the Sponsor and SVF 3 agreed to amend this loan to increase the commitment by $1.0 million. If SVF 3 does not complete an initial business combination within the Completion Window, SVF 3 may use a portion of its working capital 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. Up to $2,000,000 of such loans may be convertible into Class A ordinary shares of the post-business combination entity at a price of $10.00 per share at the option of the lender.

| • |  | Our Initial Shareholders and our directors and officers have agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their Founders Shares and will not have rights to liquidating distributions with respect to their Private Placement Shares if SVF 3 fails to complete a business combination within the Completion Window.

| • |  | As of October 31, 2021, Walmart, Symbotic’s largest customer, holds a majority of the outstanding equity interests of Flipkart Internet Pvt Ltd, a company in which SoftBank Vision Fund II, an affiliate of SBIA, holds a minority interest.

In order to protect the amounts held in our Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to us if and to the extent any claims by a vendor for services rendered or products sold to us, or a prospective target business with which we have entered into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in our Trust Account. This liability will not apply with respect to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in SVF 3’s Trust Account or to any claims under our indemnity of the underwriters of the offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. In addition, if we are able to complete a business combination within the Completion Window, our Initial Stockholders may receive a positive return on the 8,000,000 Founder Shares, which were acquired by our Sponsor for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000 prior to the SVF 3 IPO, and the 1,040,000 Private Placement Shares, which were acquired for an aggregate purchase price of $10,400,000 with the completion of the SVF 3 IPO, even if our Public Shareholders experience a negative return on their investment in our Class A ordinary shares after consummation of the Business Combination. However, if we are unable to complete our initial business combination within the Completion Window, our Sponsor may lose their investment of $13,424,700 made in respect of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Shares and Working Capital Loans.
The SVF 3 board of directors and the audit committee thereof was aware of and considered these interests, among other matters, in reaching the determination to approve the terms of the Business Combination and in recommending to SVF 3’s shareholders that they vote to approve the Business Combination. See
“The Business Combination—Interests of SVF 3’s Directors and Officers in the Business Combination.”

In general, if your shares are held in “street” name and you do not instruct your broker, bank or other nominee on a timely basis on how to vote your shares, your broker, bank or other nominee, in its sole discretion, may either leave your shares unvoted or vote your shares on routine matters, but not on any
non-routine

None of the proposals at the Extraordinary General Meeting are routine matters. As such, without your voting instructions, your brokerage firm cannot vote your shares on any proposal to be voted on at the Extraordinary General Meeting.
Voting Your Shares—Shareholders of Record
SVF 3 shareholders may vote electronically at the Extraordinary General Meeting by visiting
https://www.cstproxy.com/svfc/2022
or by proxy. SVF 3 recommends that you submit your proxy even if you plan to attend the Extraordinary General Meeting. If you vote by proxy, you may change your vote by submitting a later dated proxy before the deadline or by voting electronically at the Extraordinary General Meeting.
If your shares are owned directly in your name with our transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, you are considered, with respect to those shares, the “shareholder of record.” If your shares are held in a stock brokerage account or by a bank or other nominee or intermediary, you are considered the beneficial owner of shares held in “street name” and are considered a
“non-record
(beneficial) shareholder.”
If you are a SVF 3 shareholder of record, you may use the enclosed proxy card to tell the persons named as proxies how to vote your shares. If you properly complete, sign and date your proxy card, your shares will be voted in accordance with your instructions. The named proxies will vote all shares at the Extraordinary General Meeting for which proxies have been properly submitted and not revoked. If you sign and return your proxy card but do not mark your card to tell the proxies how to vote, your shares will be voted “
FOR
” each of the proposals presented at the Extraordinary General Meeting.
Your shares will be counted for purposes of determining a quorum if you vote:

| • |  | via the Internet;

| • |  | by telephone;

| • |  | by submitting a properly executed proxy card or voting instruction form by mail; or

| • |  | electronically at the Extraordinary General Meeting.

Abstentions will be counted for determining whether a quorum is present for the Extraordinary General Meeting.
Voting instructions are printed on the proxy card or voting information form you received. Either method of submitting a proxy will enable your shares to be represented and voted at the Extraordinary General Meeting.
Voting Your Shares—Beneficial Owners
If your shares are held in an account at a brokerage firm, bank or other nominee, then you are the beneficial owner of shares held in “street name” and this proxy statement/prospectus is being sent to you by that broker, bank or other nominee. The broker, bank or other nominee holding your account is considered to be the shareholder of record for purposes of voting at the Extraordinary General Meeting. As a beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker, bank or other nominee regarding how to vote the shares in your account by following the instructions that the broker, bank or other nominee provides you along with this proxy statement/prospectus. Your broker, bank or other nominee may have an earlier deadline by which you must provide instructions to it as to how to vote your shares. As a beneficial owner, if you wish to vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting, you will need to bring to the Extraordinary General Meeting a legal proxy from your broker, bank or other nominee authorizing you to vote those shares. That is the only way we can be sure that the broker, bank or nominee has not already voted your ordinary shares.

Revoking Your Proxy
If you are a shareholder and you give a proxy, you may revoke it at any time before it is exercised by doing any one of the following:

| • |  | you may send another proxy card with a later date;

| • |  | you may notify SVF 3’s Secretary in writing before the Extraordinary General Meeting that you have revoked your proxy; or

| • |  | you may attend the Extraordinary General Meeting and vote electronically by visiting https://www.cstproxy.com/svfc/2022 and entering the control number found on your proxy card, instruction form or notice you previously received. Attendance at the Extraordinary General Meeting will not, in and of itself, revoke a proxy.

If your shares are held in “street name” or are in a margin or similar account, you should contact your broker for information on how to change or revoke your voting instructions.
No Additional Matters
The Extraordinary General Meeting has been called only to consider the approval of the Business Combination Proposal, the Domestication Proposal, the Organizational Documents Proposal, the Governance Proposals, the Director Election Proposal, the Merger Issuance Proposal, the Subscription Agreements Proposal, the Incentive Compensation Plan Proposal, the ESPP Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal. Under the Articles, other than procedural matters incident to the conduct of the Extraordinary General Meeting, no other matters may be considered at the Extraordinary General Meeting if they are not included in this proxy statement/prospectus, which serves as the notice of the Extraordinary General Meeting.
Who Can Answer Your Questions About Voting Your Shares
If you are a shareholder and have any questions about how to vote or direct a vote in respect of your SVF 3 ordinary shares, you may call Morrow Sodali, SVF 3’s proxy solicitor, at
(800) 662-5200 or
SVF 3 at
(650)-562-8100.
Redemption Rights
Public Shareholders (other than the Sponsor and SVF 3’s directors and officers) may seek to redeem their shares for cash, regardless of whether they vote for or against, or abstain from voting on, the Business Combination Proposal. Any shareholder holding Public Shares may demand that SVF 3 redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the Trust Account (which, for illustrative purposes, was $9.91 per share as of April 25, 2022, the SVF 3 Record Date), calculated as of two business days prior to the anticipated consummation of the Business Combination. If a holder properly seeks redemption as described in this section and the Business Combination is consummated, SVF 3 will redeem these shares for a pro rata portion of funds deposited in the Trust Account and the holder will no longer own these shares following the Business Combination.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Public Shareholder, together with any affiliate of his or any other person with whom he is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from seeking redemption rights with respect to more than 15% of the Public Shares without the consent of SVF 3. Accordingly, all Public Shares in excess of 15% held by a Public Shareholder, together with any affiliate of such holder or any other person with whom such holder is acting in concert or as a “group,” will not be redeemed for cash without the consent of SVF 3.
The Sponsor and SVF 3’s directors and officers have waived redemption rights with respect to any ordinary shares, including the Founder Shares, Private Placement Shares and any Public Shares owned by them, directly or indirectly in connection with the Business Combination.
107

Table of Contents
Public Shareholders (other than the Sponsor and SVF 3’s directors and officers) may seek to redeem their shares for cash, regardless of whether they vote for or against, or abstain from voting on, the Business Combination Proposal. Holders may demand redemption by delivering their ordinary shares, either physically or electronically using Depository Trust Company’s DWAC System, to SVF 3’s transfer agent no later than the second business day preceding the vote on the Business Combination Proposal. If you hold the shares in street name, you will have to coordinate with your broker to have your shares certificated or delivered electronically. Certificates that have not been tendered (either physically or electronically) in accordance with these procedures will not be redeemed for cash. There is a nominal cost associated with this tendering process and the act of certificating the shares or delivering them through the DWAC system. The transfer agent will typically charge the tendering broker $80.00 and it would be up to the broker whether or not to pass this cost on to the redeeming shareholder. In the event the proposed Business Combination is not consummated this may result in an additional cost to shareholders for the return of their shares.
Any request to redeem such shares, once made, may be withdrawn at any time up to the vote on the Business Combination Proposal. Furthermore, if a Public Shareholder delivered its certificate in connection with an election of its redemption and subsequently decides prior to the applicable date not to elect to exercise such rights, it may simply request that the transfer agent return the certificate (physically or electronically).
If the Business Combination is not approved or completed for any reason, then Public Shareholders who elected to exercise their redemption rights will not be entitled to redeem their shares for a pro rata portion of the Trust Account. In such case, SVF 3 will promptly return any shares delivered by Public Shareholders.
The closing price of SVF 3 Class A ordinary shares on April 25, 2022, the SVF 3 Record Date, was $9.91. The cash held in the Trust Account on such date was approximately $320 million ($10 per Public Share). Prior to exercising redemption rights, shareholders should verify the market price of SVF 3 Class A ordinary shares as they may receive higher proceeds from the sale of their Class A ordinary shares in the public market than from exercising their redemption rights if the market price per share is higher than the redemption price. SVF 3 cannot assure its shareholders that they will be able to sell their SVF 3 Class A ordinary shares in the open market, even if the market price per share is higher than the redemption price stated above, as there may not be sufficient liquidity in its securities when its shareholders wish to sell their shares.
If a Public Shareholder exercises its redemption rights, then it will be exchanging its SVF 3 ordinary shares for cash and will no longer own those shares. You will be entitled to receive cash for these shares only if you properly demand redemption no later than the second business day preceding the vote on the Business Combination Proposal by delivering your stock certificate (either physically or electronically) to SVF 3’s transfer agent prior to the vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting, and the Business Combination is consummated.
Appraisal Rights
Shareholders of SVF 3 do not have appraisal rights in connection with the Business Combination or the Domestication under Cayman Islands law or under the DGCL.
Proxy Solicitation Costs
SVF 3 is soliciting proxies on behalf of the SVF 3 Board. This solicitation is being made by mail but also may be made by telephone or in person. SVF 3 and its directors, officers and employees may also solicit proxies in person, by telephone or by other electronic means. SVF 3 will bear the cost of the solicitation.
SVF 3 has hired Morrow Sodali to assist in the proxy solicitation process. SVF 3 will pay that firm a fee of $37,500 plus disbursements. Such payment will be made from
non-Trust
Account funds.
SVF 3 will ask banks, brokers and other institutions, nominees and fiduciaries to forward the proxy materials to their principals and to obtain their authority to execute proxies and voting instructions. SVF 3 will reimburse them for their reasonable expenses.

The Initial Shareholders
As of April 25, 2022, the SVF 3 Record Date, the Initial Shareholders of record and SVF 3’s directors and officers were entitled to vote an aggregate of 8,000,000 Founder Shares that were issued prior to the SVF 3 IPO, 1,040,000 Private Placement Shares purchased in conjunction with the SVF 3 IPO and 112,500 Public Shares. Such shares constitute 22.3% of the outstanding SVF 3 ordinary shares. The Initial Shareholders have agreed to vote the Founder Shares, Private Placement Shares, as well as any ordinary shares acquired in the aftermarket, in favor of each of the proposals presented at the Extraordinary General Meeting. The Founder Shares and Private Placement Shares have no right to participate in any redemption distribution and will be worthless if no business combination is effected by SVF 3.
Upon consummation of the Business Combination, under the Sponsor Letter Agreement, certain Founder Shares (or shares of common stock issuable upon conversion thereof) will be subject to (i) certain
lock-up
restrictions and (ii) certain time and
performance-based
vesting provisions. See “
The Business Combination—Other Agreements—Sponsor Letter Agreement
” for more information.
Purchases of SVF 3 Shares
At any time prior to the Extraordinary General Meeting, during a period when they are not then aware of any material nonpublic information regarding SVF 3 or its securities, the Sponsor, Warehouse and/or their respective affiliates may purchase shares from institutional and other investors who vote, or indicate an intention to vote, against the Business Combination Proposal, or execute agreements to purchase shares from such investors in the future, or they may enter into transactions with such investors and others to provide them with incentives to acquire SVF 3 ordinary shares or vote their shares in favor of the Business Combination Proposal. The purpose of such share purchases and other transactions would be to increase the likelihood of satisfaction of the requirements to consummate the Business Combination where it appears that such requirements would otherwise not be met. While the exact nature of any such incentives has not been determined as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, they might include, without limitation:

| • |  | Arrangements to protect such investors or holders against potential loss in value of their shares, including the granting of put options;

| • |  | With Warehouse’s consent, the transfer to such investors or holders of shares owned by the Sponsor for nominal value;

| • |  | Agreements pursuant to which SVF 3, Sponsor, Warehouse or any of their respective affiliates would purchase publicly-held shares from such holders;

| • |  | Agreements with third parties pursuant to which SVF 3, Sponsor, Warehouse or any of their respective affiliates would borrow funds to make purchases of publicly-held shares for their own account; and

| • |  | Agreements with third parties pursuant to which the third parties would purchase publicly-held shares, which would permit SVF 3, Sponsor, Warehouse or any of their respective affiliates to purchase such shares from the third parties.

Entering into any such arrangements may have a depressive effect on the trading price of SVF 3 ordinary shares. For example, as a result of these arrangements, an investor or holder may have the ability to effectively purchase shares at a price lower than market and may therefore be more likely to sell the shares it owns, either prior to or immediately after the Extraordinary General Meeting. In addition, to the extent that SVF 3, the Sponsor, Warehouse or any of their respective affiliates enters into an agreement ultimately paid for with the funds in our Trust Account, this would diminish the funds available to the Post-Combination Company after the consummation of the Business Combination for working capital and general corporate purposes. If such transactions are effected, the consequence could be to cause the Business Combination to be approved in circumstances where such approval could not otherwise be obtained. Purchases of shares by the persons described above would allow them to exert more influence over the approval of the Business Combination

Proposal and other proposals and would likely increase the chances that such proposals would be approved. In addition, it is possible that the number of shares in our public float would be significantly reduced and that the number of beneficial holders also be reduced.
No agreements dealing with the above arrangements or purchases have been entered into as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus by SVF 3, the Sponsor, Warehouse or any of their respective affiliates. SVF 3 will file a Current Report on
Form 8-K
to disclose arrangements entered into or significant purchases made by any of the aforementioned persons that would affect the vote on the Business Combination Proposal or the satisfaction of any closing conditions. Any such report will include descriptions of any arrangements entered into or significant purchases by any of the aforementioned persons.

PROPOSAL NO. 1—THE BUSINESS COMBINATION PROPOSAL
Holders of SVF 3 ordinary shares are being asked to approve and adopt the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Merger. SVF 3 shareholders should read carefully this proxy statement/prospectus in its entirety for more detailed information concerning the Merger Agreement, which is attached as
Annex
A
to this proxy statement/prospectus. Please see the sections entitled “
The Business Combination
” and “
The Merger Agreement
” in this proxy statement/prospectus for additional information regarding the Business Combination and a summary of certain terms of the Merger Agreement. You are urged to read carefully the Merger Agreement in its entirety before voting on this proposal.
Vote Required for Approval
This Business Combination Proposal (and consequently, the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Merger and the Domestication) will be adopted and approved only if an ordinary resolution is passed, meaning an affirmative vote of at least a majority of the votes cast by the shareholders present in person (which would include presence at a virtual meeting) or represented by proxy at the quorate Extraordinary General Meeting and entitled to vote on such matter. Abstentions and broker
non-votes,
while considered present for purposes of establishing quorum, will not count as votes cast at the Extraordinary General Meeting, and otherwise will have no effect on the proposal.
The Business Combination is conditioned upon the approval of the Business Combination Proposal, subject to the terms of the Merger Agreement. If the Business Combination Proposal is not approved, the other proposals (except the Adjournment Proposal, as described below) will not be presented to the shareholders for a vote.
The Sponsor and SVF 3’s directors and officers have agreed to vote any Class A ordinary shares and Founder Shares owned by them in favor of the Business Combination Proposal. See “

Table of Contents
PROPOSAL NO. 2—THE DOMESTICATION PROPOSAL
Overview
As discussed in this proxy statement/prospectus, if the Business Combination Proposal is approved, then SVF 3 is asking its shareholders to approve the Domestication Proposal. Under the Merger Agreement, the approval of the Domestication Proposal is also a condition to the consummation of the Business Combination. If, however, the Domestication Proposal is approved, but the Business Combination Proposal is not approved, then neither the Domestication nor the Business Combination will be consummated.
As a condition to closing the Business Combination pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, the SVF 3 board of directors has unanimously approved a change of SVF 3’s jurisdiction of incorporation from the Cayman Islands to the State of Delaware by deregistering as an exempted company in the Cayman Islands and continuing and domesticating as a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware. To effect the Domestication, SVF 3 will file a notice of deregistration by way of continuation with the Cayman Islands Registrar of Companies, together with the necessary accompanying documents, and file a certificate of incorporation and a certificate of corporate domestication with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, under which SVF 3 will be domesticated and continue as a Delaware corporation. Upon the effectiveness of the Domestication, (a) each outstanding Class A ordinary share will automatically convert into one share of the Post-Combination Company’s Class A common stock, and (b) each outstanding Class B ordinary share will automatically convert into one share of the Post-Combination Company’s Class B common stock, which, upon the Closing, will automatically convert into one share of the Post-Combination Company’s Class A common stock.
The Domestication Proposal, if approved, will approve a change of SVF 3’s jurisdiction of incorporation from the Cayman Islands to the State of Delaware. Accordingly, while SVF 3 is currently governed by the Cayman Islands Companies Act (2021 Revision), upon the effectiveness of the Domestication, SVF 3 will be governed by the Delaware General Corporation Law. We urge shareholders to carefully consult the information set out below under “
—Comparison of Corporate Governance and Shareholder Rights
.” Additionally, we note that if the Domestication Proposal is approved, then SVF 3 will also ask its shareholders to approve the Organizational Documents Proposal (discussed below), which, if approved, will replace our current Articles under the Cayman Islands law with the Proposed Charter and Proposed Bylaws under the DGCL. The Proposed Organizational Documents differ in certain material respects from the Articles and we urge shareholders to carefully consult the information set out below under “
Proposal No. 3—The Organizational Documents Proposal
,” the Articles and the Proposed Charter and Proposed Bylaws, attached hereto as
Annex B
and
Annex C
, respectively.
Reasons for the Domestication
Our Board believes that there are significant advantages to SVF 3 that will arise as a result of a change of domicile to Delaware. Further, our Board believes that any direct benefit that Delaware law provides to a corporation also indirectly benefits the shareholders, who are the owners of the corporation. The Board believes that there are several reasons why a reincorporation in Delaware is in the best interests of SVF 3 and its shareholders, including:

| • |  | Prominence, Predictability, and Flexibility of Delaware Law . For many years Delaware has followed a policy of encouraging incorporation in its state and, in furtherance of that policy, has been a leader in adopting, construing, and implementing comprehensive, flexible corporate laws responsive to the legal and business needs of corporations organized under its laws. Many corporations have chosen Delaware initially as a state of incorporation or have subsequently changed corporate domicile to Delaware. Because of Delaware’s prominence as the state of incorporation for many major corporations, both the legislature and courts in Delaware have demonstrated the ability and a willingness to act quickly and effectively to meet changing business needs. The DGCL is frequently revised and updated to

112

Table of Contents

| accommodate changing legal and business needs and is more comprehensive, widely used and interpreted than other state corporate laws. This favorable corporate and regulatory environment is attractive to businesses such as ours. Based on publicly available data, over half of publicly-traded corporations in the United States and over 67% of all Fortune 500 companies are incorporated in Delaware.

| • |  | Well-Established Principles of Corporate Governance . There is substantial judicial precedent in the Delaware courts as to the legal principles applicable to measures that may be taken by a corporation and to the conduct of a corporation’s board of directors, such as under the business judgment rule and other standards. Because the judicial system is based largely on legal precedents, the abundance of Delaware case law provides clarity and predictability to many areas of corporate law. Such clarity would be advantageous to SVF 3, its board of directors and management to make corporate decisions and take corporate actions with greater assurance as to the validity and consequences of those decisions and actions. Further, investors and securities professionals are generally more familiar with Delaware corporations, and the laws governing such corporations, increasing their level of comfort with Delaware corporations relative to other jurisdictions. The Delaware courts have developed considerable expertise in dealing with corporate issues, and a substantial body of case law has developed construing Delaware law and establishing public policies with respect to corporate legal affairs. Moreover, Delaware’s vast body of law on the fiduciary duties of directors provides appropriate protection for SVF 3’s shareholders from possible abuses by directors and officers.

| • |  | Increased Ability to Attract and Retain Qualified Directors . Reincorporation from the Cayman Islands to Delaware is attractive to directors, officers, and shareholders alike. SVF 3’s incorporation in Delaware may make SVF 3 more attractive to future candidates for our Board, because many such candidates are already familiar with Delaware corporate law from their past business experience. To date, we have not experienced difficulty in retaining directors or officers, but directors of public companies are exposed to significant potential liability. Thus, candidates’ familiarity and comfort with Delaware laws—especially those relating to director indemnification (as discussed below)—draw such qualified candidates to Delaware corporations. Our Board therefore believes that providing the benefits afforded directors by Delaware law will enable Symbotic Inc., following completion of the Business Combination, to compete more effectively with other public companies in the recruitment of talented and experienced directors and officers. Moreover, Delaware’s vast body of law on the fiduciary duties of directors provides appropriate protection for our shareholders from possible abuses by directors and officers.

The frequency of claims and litigation pursued against directors and officers has greatly expanded the risks facing directors and officers of corporations in carrying out their respective duties. The amount of time and money required to respond to such claims and to defend such litigation can be substantial. While both Cayman Islands and Delaware law permit a corporation to include a provision in its governing documents to reduce or eliminate the monetary liability of directors for breaches of fiduciary duty in certain circumstances, we believe that, in general, Delaware law is more developed and provides more guidance than Cayman Islands law on matters regarding a corporation’s ability to limit director liability. As a result, we believe that the corporate environment afforded by Delaware will enable the surviving corporation to compete more effectively with other public companies in attracting and retaining new directors.
Anticipated Accounting Treatment of the Domestication
There will be no accounting effect or change in the carrying amount of the consolidated assets and liabilities of SVF 3 as a result of Domestication. The business, capitalization, assets and liabilities and financial statements of SVF 3 immediately following the Domestication will be the same as those of SVF 3 immediately prior to the Domestication.

Comparison of Corporate Governance and Shareholder Rights
SVF 3 is an exempted company incorporated under the Cayman Islands Companies Act (2021 Revision). The Cayman Islands Companies Act and SVF 3’s Articles govern the rights of its shareholders. The Cayman Islands Companies Act differs in some material respects from laws generally applicable to United States corporations and their stockholders. In addition, the Articles will differ in certain material respects from the Proposed Organizational Documents. As a result, when you become a stockholder of Symbotic Inc., your rights will differ in some regards as compared to when you were a shareholder of SVF 3.
Below is a summary chart outlining important similarities and differences in the corporate governance and stockholder/shareholder rights associated with each of SVF 3 and Symbotic Inc. according to applicable law and/or the organizational documents of SVF 3 and Symbotic Inc. You also should review the Proposed Charter and Proposed Bylaws attached hereto as
Annex B
and
Annex C
, respectively, to this proxy statement/prospectus, as well as the Delaware corporate law and corporate laws of the Cayman Islands, including the Cayman Islands Companies Act, to understand how these laws apply to SVF 3 and Symbotic Inc.

|  | Delaware |  | Cayman Islands
Stockholder/Shareholder Approval of Business Combinations |  | Mergers generally require approval of a majority of the voting power of all outstanding shares. |  | Mergers require a special resolution, and any other authorization as may be specified in the relevant articles of association. Parties holding certain security interests in the constituent companies must also consent.
|  | Mergers in which less than 20% of the surviving corporation’s stock is issued generally do not require approval by stockholders of the surviving corporation. |  | All mergers (other than parent/subsidiary mergers) require shareholder approval—there is no exception for smaller mergers.
|  | Mergers in which one corporation owns 90% or more of a second corporation may be completed without the vote of the second corporation’s board of directors or stockholders. |  | Where a bidder has acquired 90% or more of the shares in a Cayman Islands company, it can compel the acquisition of the shares of the remaining shareholders and thereby become the sole shareholder. A Cayman Islands company may also be acquired through a “scheme of arrangement” sanctioned by a Cayman Islands court and approved by 50% + 1 in number and 75% in value of shareholders in attendance and voting at a general meeting.
Stockholder/Shareholder Votes for Routine Matters |  | Generally, approval of routine corporate matters that are put to a stockholder vote require the affirmative vote of the majority of shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the subject matter. |  | Under the Cayman Islands Companies Act and the Articles, routine corporate matters may be approved by an ordinary resolution (being a resolution adopted by the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the votes cast by the shareholders present in person or represented by proxy at a general meeting and entitled to vote on such matter).

Appraisal Rights |  | Generally a stockholder of a publicly traded corporation does not have appraisal rights in connection with a merger where the consideration is composed of shares and cash in lieu of fractional shares only, but generally has appraisal rights otherwise. |  | Minority shareholders that dissent from a Cayman Islands statutory merger are entitled to be paid the fair market value of their shares, which if necessary may ultimately be determined by the court.
Inspection of Books and Records |  | Any stockholder may inspect the corporation’s books and records for a proper purpose during the usual hours for business. |  | Shareholders generally do not have any rights to inspect or obtain copies of the register of shareholders or other corporate records of a company.
Stockholder/Shareholder Lawsuits |  | A stockholder may bring a derivative suit subject to procedural requirements (including adopting Delaware as the exclusive forum ). |  | In the Cayman Islands, the decision to institute proceedings on behalf of a company is generally taken by the company’s board of directors. A shareholder may be entitled to bring a derivative action on behalf of the company, but only in certain limited circumstances.
Fiduciary Duties of Directors |  | Directors must exercise a duty of care and duty of loyalty and good faith to the company and its stockholders. |  | A director owes fiduciary duties to a company, including to exercise loyalty, honesty and good faith to the company as a whole. In addition to fiduciary duties, directors owe a duty of care, diligence and skill. Such duties are owed to the company but may be owed direct to creditors or shareholders in certain limited circumstances
Indemnification of Directors and Officers |  | A corporation is generally permitted to indemnify its directors and officers acting in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation. |  | A Cayman Islands exempted company generally may indemnify its directors or officers except with regard to fraud or willful default.
Limited Liability of Directors |  | Permits limiting or eliminating the monetary liability of a director to a corporation or its stockholders, except with regard to breaches of duty of loyalty, intentional misconduct, unlawful stock repurchases or dividends, or improper personal benefit. |  | Liability of directors may be limited or eliminated, except with regard to their own fraud or willful default.

PROPOSAL NO. 4—THE GOVERNANCE PROPOSALS
Overview
Our shareholders are also being asked to vote on separate proposals with respect to certain governance provisions in the Proposed Charter, which are separately being presented in order to give holders of SVF 3’s ordinary shares the opportunity to present their separate views on important corporate governance procedures and which will be voted upon on a
non-binding
advisory basis. In the judgment of the SVF 3 Board, these provisions are necessary to adequately address the needs of the
Post-Combination
Company. Accordingly, regardless of the outcome of the
non-binding
advisory vote on these proposals, Symbotic and SVF 3 intend that the Proposed Charter in the form set forth on
Annex
B
will take effect at consummation of the Business Combination, assuming adoption of the Organizational Documents Proposal.

DGCL Section 203 and Business Combinations (Proposal 4D) |  | N/A |  | Our Proposed Organizational Documents provide that we are not subject to Section 203 of the DGCL.
Forum Selection (Proposal 4E) |  | Our Articles do not contain an exclusive forum provision. |  | The Proposed Charter provides that (i) the Delaware Court of Chancery, or if such court does not have subject matter jurisdiction, another state or federal court located within the state of Delaware will be the exclusive forum for internal or intra-corporate claims or claims governed by the internal affairs doctrine of Delaware (or the federal district court for the District of Delaware if no court within Delaware has jurisdiction) and (ii) the federal district court for the District of Delaware will be the exclusive forum for claims under the Securities Act.
Voting Rights (Proposal 4F) |  | Our Articles generally provide that each holder of record of Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares shall be entitled to one vote per share on all matters which such shareholders are entitled to vote. |  | Each holder of Class A common stock or Class B common stock shall be entitled to one vote for each share of Class A common stock or Class B common stock, respectively, held of record by such holder.

Except with respect to certain stock dividends, dividends of cash or property may not be declared or paid on shares of the Post-Combination Company’s Class V-1 common stock or Class V-3 common stock.

Removal of Blank Check Company Provisions (Proposal 4H) |  | Our Articles contain various provisions applicable only to blank check companies. |  | The Proposed Organizational Documents will not include these provisions applicable only to blank check companies, including the provisions requiring that SVF 3 have net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 immediately prior to, or upon such consummation of, a business combination.

Reasons for the Governance Proposals
Authorized Shares (Proposal 4A)
Our Articles authorized 221,000,000 shares, consisting of (a) 200,000,000 Class A ordinary shares, (b) 20,000,000 Class B ordinary shares and (c) 1,000,000 preference shares. Proposal 4A increases the authorized number of shares because our board of directors believes that it is important for us to have available for issuance a number of authorized shares of common stock and preferred stock sufficient to support our growth and to provide flexibility for future corporate needs (including, if needed, as part of financing for future growth acquisitions). The shares would be issuable as consideration for the Business Combination and the other transactions contemplated in this proxy statement/prospectus, and for any proper corporate purpose, including future acquisitions, capital raising transactions consisting of equity or convertible debt, stock dividends or issuances under current and any future stock incentive plans.
Our board of directors believes that these additional shares will provide us with needed flexibility to issue shares in the future in a timely manner and under circumstances we consider favorable without incurring the risk, delay and potential expense incident to obtaining shareholder approval for a particular issuance.
Amendments to the Organizational Documents (Proposal 4B)
The Articles provide that amendments may only be made pursuant to a special resolution under Cayman Islands law, which would require the affirmative vote of the holders of at
least two-thirds of
the ordinary shares who, being present and entitled to vote on the amendment, vote on such amendment, including amendments to (i) change SVF 3’s name, (ii) alter or add to the articles of association, (iii) alter or add to the memorandum of association with respect to any objects, power or other matters specified therein, and (iv) reduce SVF 3’s share capital or any capital redemption reserve fund. The Proposed Organizational Documents allow for certain amendments by the affirmative vote of holders of at least a majority of the total voting power of all the then outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class. The Board believes that the majority vote contemplated by Proposal 4B is more appropriate for a public operating company with sponsor investors and, in making such determination has considered (among other things) the fact that the Symbotic Founder, certain family members of the Symbotic Founder and certain affiliated entities and trusts of the Symbotic Founder and his family members, in the aggregate, will hold 90.0% of the voting power immediately following the closing of the Business Combination assuming No Redemptions.
Director Election, Director Vacancies and Removal (Proposal 4C)
At present, our Articles provide that, prior to the closing of a business combination, holders of the Class B ordinary shares have the exclusive right to elect any director and holders of Class A ordinary shares have no right to vote on the election of any director, and, following the closing of a business combination, directors may be elected by ordinary resolution. Our Articles also provide that newly-created directorships or any vacancy on the Board may be filled solely and exclusively by a majority vote of the remaining directors then in office, even if less than a quorum. Our Articles further provide that, prior to the closing of a business combination, holders of
121

Table of Contents
the Class B ordinary shares have the exclusive right to remove any director and holders of Class A ordinary shares have no right to vote on the removal of any director, and, following the closing of a business combination, directors may be removed by ordinary resolution. Proposal 4C provides that the Proposed Organizational Documents will permit for the election of directors elected by a majority of the votes cast by holders of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors, provided that if, as of the 10th day preceding the date the Post-Combination Company first mails its notice of meeting for such meeting to the stockholders, the number of nominees exceeds the number of directors to be elected, the directors shall be elected by the vote of a plurality of the votes cast. With respect to removal of directors, Proposal 4C provides that any or all of the directors may be removed from office at any time, with or without cause, but only by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least
two-thirds
of the voting power of all of the then-outstanding shares of voting stock of the Post-Combination Company entitled to vote at an election of directors. Finally, Proposal 4C provides that any vacancies on the board of directors resulting from death, resignation, disqualification, retirement, removal or other causes and any newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the number of directors shall be filled exclusively by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then in office, even though less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director, and shall not be filled by the stockholders. The foregoing rights are subject to special rights of the holders of one or more outstanding series of preferred stock to elect directors.
DGCL Section 203 and Business Combinations (Proposal 4D)
Under our Articles, SVF 3 is not governed by Section 203 of the DGCL. Proposal 4D provides that following the Domestication, SVF 3 shall not be governed by Section 203 of the DGCL. We believe that the election not to be governed by Section 203 of the DGCL provides us with increased flexibility as to future, potentially value creating, transactions.
Forum Selection (Proposal 4E)
Our Articles do not contain an exclusive forum provision. Proposal 4E provides that (i) the Delaware Court of Chancery, or if such court does not have subject matter jurisdiction, another state or federal court located within the state of Delaware will be the exclusive forum for internal or intra-corporate claims or claims governed by the internal affairs doctrine of Delaware (or the federal district court for the District of Delaware if no court within Delaware has jurisdiction) and (ii) the federal district court for the District of Delaware will be the exclusive forum for claims under the Securities Act. This amendment is intended to assist SVF 3 in avoiding multiple lawsuits in multiple jurisdictions regarding the same matter. The ability to require such claims to be brought in a single forum will help to assure consistent consideration of the issues, the application of a relatively known body of case law and level of expertise, and should promote efficiency and cost-savings in the resolutions of such claims. We believe that the Delaware courts are best suited to address disputes involving such matters given that SVF 3 intends to incorporate in Delaware (pending approval of the Domestication Proposal discussed above), Delaware law generally applies to such matters, and the Delaware courts have a reputation for expertise in corporate law matters. Delaware offers a specialized Court of Chancery to address corporate law matters, with streamlined procedures and processes to accelerate the timeline of legal decisions. This accelerated schedule can minimize the time, cost and uncertainty of litigation for all parties. The Court of Chancery has developed considerable expertise with respect to corporate law issues, as well as a substantial and influential body of case law construing Delaware’s corporate law and long-standing precedent regarding corporate governance. This provides shareholders and SVF 3 with more predictability regarding the outcome of intra-corporate disputes. In the event the Court of Chancery does not have jurisdiction, the other state courts located in Delaware would be the most appropriate forums because these courts have more expertise on matters of Delaware law compared to other jurisdictions.
In addition, this amendment is intended to promote judicial fairness and avoid conflicting results, as well as make SVF 3’s defense of applicable claims less disruptive and more economically feasible, principally by avoiding duplicative discovery. At the same time, we believe that SVF 3 should retain the ability to consent to an
122

Table of Contents
alternative forum on
a case-by-case basis
where SVF 3 determines that its interests and those of its shareholders are best served by permitting such a dispute to proceed in a forum other than in Delaware.
Voting Rights (Proposal 4F)
Our Articles provide that each holder of record of Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares shall be entitled to one vote per share on all matters which shareholders are entitled to vote. Proposal 4F provides that (i) each holder of record of Class A common stock, Class B common stock and
Class V-1
common stock shall be entitled to one vote per share on all matters which stockholders generally are entitled to vote and (ii) each holder of record of
Class V-3
common stock shall be entitled to three votes per share on all matters which stockholders generally are entitled to vote. We believe that SVF 3’s success rests on the ability to undertake a long-term view and our leadership team’s controlling interest will enhance SVF 3’s ability to focus on long-term value creation and help insulate SVF 3 from short-term outside influences. Our leadership team’s voting control also provides SVF 3 with flexibility to employ various financing and transaction strategies involving the issuance of equity securities, while maintaining its control.
Dividends and Distributions (Proposal 4G)
Our Articles provide that all dividends and other distributions shall be paid according to the amounts paid up on the shares, but if and for so long as nothing is paid up on any shares, dividends may be paid according to the par value of the shares. Proposal 4G provides that, subject to the rights of the holders of preferred stock (i) holders of Class A common stock and Class B common stock, as such, shall be entitled to the payment of dividends and other distributions of cash, stock or property on the Class A common stock and Class B common stock, respectively, when, as and if declared by the board of directors in accordance with law and (ii) except with respect to certain stock dividends, dividends of cash or property may not be declared or paid on
Class V-1
common stock or
Class V-3
common stock. We believe that SVF 3’s success rests on the ability to undertake a long-term view and our leadership team’s controlling interest will enhance SVF 3’s ability to focus on long-term value creation and help insulate SVF 3 from short-term outside influences.
Removal of Blank Check Company Provisions (Proposal 4H)
Our Articles contain various provisions applicable only to blank check companies. Proposal 4H eliminates certain provisions related to our status as a blank check company, including the provisions requiring that SVF 3 have net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 immediately prior to, or upon such consummation of, a business combination, which is desirable because these provisions will serve no purpose following the Business Combination. For example, these proposed amendments remove the requirement to dissolve SVF 3 and allow it to continue as a corporate entity with perpetual existence following consummation of the Business Combination. Perpetual existence is the usual period of existence for corporations, and we believe it is the most appropriate period for SVF 3 following the Business Combination. In addition, certain other provisions in our Articles require that proceeds from SVF 3 IPO be held in the Trust Account until a business combination or liquidation of merger has occurred. These provisions cease to apply once the Business Combination is consummated.
Anti-Takeover Effects of the Proposed Organizational Documents and Certain Provisions of Delaware Law
The Proposed Organizational Documents will contain, and the DGCL contains, provisions that are intended to enhance the likelihood of continuity and stability in the composition of our Board. These provisions are intended to avoid costly takeover battles, reduce our vulnerability to a hostile change of control and enhance the ability of our Board to maximize shareholder value in connection with any unsolicited offer to acquire SVF 3. However, these provisions may have an anti-takeover effect and may delay, deter or prevent a merger or acquisition of SVF 3 by means of a tender offer, a proxy contest or other takeover attempt that a shareholder might consider in its best interest, including those attempts that might result in a premium over the prevailing

PROPOSAL NO. 8—THE INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN PROPOSAL
Overview
Prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, we expect that our Board will approve and adopt, subject to shareholder approval, the Symbotic Inc. 2022 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Incentive Compensation Plan”), under which we would be authorized to grant cash and equity incentive awards to eligible employees in order to attract, motivate and retain the talent for which we compete. A copy of the Plan is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as
Annex D
.
Purpose of the Incentive Compensation Plan
The purpose of the Incentive Compensation Plan is to assist us in attracting, motivating and retaining selected individuals who will serve as our employees, directors and consultants, and whose judgment, interest and special effort is critical to the successful conduct of our operations. We believe that the equity-based awards to be issued under the Incentive Compensation Plan will motivate recipients to offer their maximum effort to us and help focus them on the creation of long-term value consistent with the interests of our shareholders. We believe that grants of incentive awards are necessary to enable us to attract and retain top talent; if the Incentive Compensation Plan is not approved, we believe our recruitment and retention capabilities will be adversely affected.
Material Terms of the Incentive Compensation Plan
The material terms of the Incentive Compensation Plan, as currently contemplated by our Board, are summarized below. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Incentive Compensation Plan, a copy of which is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as
Annex
D
. We urge our shareholders to read carefully the entire Incentive Compensation Plan before voting on this proposal.
Administration
.
The compensation committee of the Post-Combination Company’s board of directors will administer the Incentive Compensation Plan. The compensation committee will generally have the authority to construe, interpret and implement the Incentive Compensation Plan and all award agreements issued thereunder, grant awards and determine the terms thereof, determine who will receive awards and amend any outstanding award agreements. The compensation committee will have full discretion to administer the Incentive Compensation Plan and may allocate among its members and delegate its powers, responsibilities or duties with respect to the Incentive Compensation Plan.
Eligibility
.
Employees (including prospective employees), directors and consultants of the Post-Combination Company are eligible to participate in the Incentive Compensation Plan as determined by the compensation committee. Following the consummation of the Business Combination, it is expected that approximately 800 employees and consultants and 6 directors will be eligible to participate in the Incentive Compensation Plan.
Number of Shares Authorized
.
The Incentive Compensation Plan provides for an aggregate number of shares of Class A common stock of the Post-Combination Company (the “Share Reserve”) to be delivered, which will be equal to 10% of the Post-Combination Company’s Class A common stock on a fully diluted basis as of the closing of the Business Combination, subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms of the Incentive Compensation Plan. The Share Reserve is subject to an annual increase on the first trading day of each calendar year, beginning January 1, 2023 and ending on and including January 1, 2032, by a number of shares equal to the lesser of (i) 5% of the aggregate number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding on the last day of the prior calendar year and (ii) such smaller number of shares (which may be zero) as is determined by the compensation committee prior to such calendar year.
The Incentive Compensation Plan also permits the compensation committee to deliver awards covering an aggregate of 8,500,000 shares of Class A common stock of the Post-Combination Company solely in connection
133

Table of Contents
with the exchange of awards under the 2012 Value Appreciation Plan or the Amended and Restated 2018 Long Term Incentive Plan outstanding prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, subject to such terms and conditions as the compensation committee may determine.
Shares subject to an award that is forfeited, expires or is settled for cash will be available for future grants of awards under the Incentive Compensation Plan and will be added back into the Share Reserve. Shares tendered by a participant or withheld by the Post-Combination Company in payment of the exercise price of a stock option or to satisfy any tax withholding obligation with respect to an award will be available for future grants of award and will be added back into the Share Reserve. Shares from the Additional Pool that are subject to an award will not be available for future grants of awards under the Incentive Compensation Plan regardless of whether such award is forfeited, expires, is settled for cash or otherwise.
Adjustments.
The compensation committee will adjust (i) the number and type of shares or other property or securities authorized pursuant to the Incentive Compensation Plan; (ii) the individual limitations set forth in the Incentive Compensation Plan; (iii) the number and type of shares or other property or securities that can be issued through incentive stock options; and (iv) the terms of any outstanding awards (including, without limitation, the number of shares covered by each outstanding award, the type of property or securities to which the award relates and the exercise or strike price of any award), in such manner as it deems appropriate (including, without limitation, by payment of cash) to prevent the enlargement or dilution of rights, as a result of any increase or decrease in the number of issued shares (or issuance of property or securities other than shares) resulting from a recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, spinoff, split up, combination, reclassification or exchange of shares, merger, consolidation, rights offering, separation, reorganization or liquidation or any other change in the corporate structure or shares, including any extraordinary dividend or extraordinary distribution.
Awards Available for Grant
.
The compensation committee may grant awards of nonqualified stock options, incentive stock options (“ISOs”), stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), restricted shares, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), dividend equivalent rights and other stock-based or cash-based awards, or any combination of the foregoing.
Options
. Subject to certain exceptions, the compensation committee will be authorized to grant options to purchase shares of Class A common stock of the Post-Combination Company that are either ISOs, meaning they are intended to satisfy the requirements of Section 422 of the Code, or “nonqualified,” meaning they are not intended to satisfy the requirements of Section 422 of the Code. Options granted under the Incentive Compensation Plan will be subject to such terms, including the exercise price and the conditions and timing of exercise, as may be determined by the compensation committee and specified in the applicable award agreement. The exercise price per share with respect to each stock option will be determined by the compensation committee but, except as otherwise permitting in the Incentive Compensation Plan, will not be less than the fair market value of a share of Class A common stock of the Post-Combination Company (or in the case of an ISO granted to a 10% shareholder, 110% of the fair market value). The maximum term of an option granted under the Incentive Compensation Plan will be 10 years from the date of grant (or five years in the case of ISOs granted to a 10% shareholder).
Stock Appreciation Rights
. The compensation committee will be authorized to award SARs under the Incentive Compensation Plan. SARs will be subject to the terms and conditions established by the compensation committee, but the exercise price per share with respect to each SAR may not be less than the fair market value of the Class A common stock of the Post-Combination Company. A SAR is a contractual right that allows a participant to receive, either in the form of cash, shares of Class A common stock of the Post-Combination Company or any combination of cash and shares of Class A common stock, the appreciation, if any, in the value of a common share over a certain period of time. An option granted under the Incentive Compensation Plan may include SARs and SARs may also be awarded to a participant independent of the grant of an option. SARs will be subject to terms established by the compensation committee and reflected in the award agreement. The maximum term of a SAR granted under the Incentive Compensation Plan will be 10 years from the date of grant.

Restricted Shares
. The compensation committee will be authorized to award shares of restricted Class A common stock under the Incentive Compensation Plan. Each award of restricted stock will be subject to the terms and conditions established by the compensation committee. Each participant of an award of restricted shares will, during the period of restriction, be the beneficial and record owner of such restricted shares and will have full voting rights with respect thereto, but all ordinary cash dividends will be retained by the Post-Combination Company and will be paid to the relevant participant when the award of restricted shares vests and will revert back to the company if for any reason the restricted share upon which such dividends or other distributions were paid reverts back to the company.
Restricted Stock Units
. The compensation committee may grant awards of RSUs under the Incentive Compensation Plan in such amounts and subject to such terms and conditions as the compensation committee may determine. On the delivery date specified in the award agreement, the participant of each RSU not previously forfeited or terminated will receive one share of Class A common stock of the Post-Combination Company, or cash or other securities or property equal in value to a share of Class A common stock, or a combination thereof, as specified by the compensation committee.
Dividend Equivalent Rights
. The compensation committee may include in the award agreement with respect to any award a dividend equivalent right entitling the participant to receive amounts equal to all or any portion of the regular cash dividends that would be paid on the shares covered by such award if such shares had been delivered pursuant to such award.
Other Stock-Based or Cash-Based Awards
. The compensation committee may grant other types of equity-based, equity-related or cash-based awards (including the grant or offer for sale of unrestricted shares, performance share awards and performance units settled in cash) in such amounts and subject to such terms and conditions as the compensation committee may determine. The terms of such awards may relate to the achievement of performance goals as determined by the compensation committee.
Minimum Vesting
.
Except for Acquisition Awards (as defined below) and awards covering shares from the Additional Pool, all awards will be subject to a minimum vesting schedule of at least 12 months following the award’s grant date, provided that vesting may accelerate in certain circumstances, including a Change of Control (as defined in the Incentive Compensation Plan). Notwithstanding the foregoing, except with respect to Acquisition Awards and awards covering shares from the Additional Pool, (i) up to 5% of the shares available for grant under the plan may be granted with a shorter minimum vesting schedule and (ii) awards to directors may be granted with a minimum vesting schedule that is the earlier of at least 12 months following the grant date of the award or the next annual meeting of stockholders of the Post-Combination Company. “Acquisition Awards” means awards that are assumed, converted or substituted under the Incentive Compensation Plan as a result of the Post-Combination Company’s acquisition of another company (including by way of merger, combination or similar transaction).
Assignability
.
Each award may be exercised during the participant’s lifetime only by the participant or, if permissible under applicable law, by the participant’s guardian or legal representative and may not be otherwise transferred or encumbered by a participant other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. The compensation committee, however, may permit awards to be transferred to any person or entity that it determines.
Amendment and Termination; No Repricings or Reloads without Shareholder Approval
.
In general, our Board may amend, suspend or terminate the Incentive Compensation Plan at any time. However, shareholder approval to amend the Incentive Compensation Plan may be necessary if the law or the Incentive Compensation Plan so requires. The Incentive Compensation Plan requires shareholder approval in order to reduce, or take certain actions that have the effect of reducing, the exercise price of stock options or SARs, and prohibits granting stock options or SARs with automatic reload features. No amendment, suspension or termination of the Incentive Compensation Plan will materially adversely impair the rights of any participant or recipient of any award without the consent of the participant or recipient.
135

Table of Contents
Change of Control
.
Unless the compensation committee determines otherwise or as otherwise provided in the applicable award agreement, if a participant’s employment is terminated without cause, or the employee resigns for good reason, within one year after a Change of Control, each award granted to the participant prior to the Change of Control will become fully vested and, as applicable, exercisable. As of the Change of Control date, any outstanding performance-based awards will be deemed earned at the greater of the target level and the actual performance level with respect to all open performance periods and will cease to be subject to further performance conditions but will continue to be subject to time-based vesting following the Change of Control in accordance with the original performance period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a Change of Control, a participant’s award will be treated in accordance with one or more of the following methods as determined by the compensation committee: (i) settle such award for an amount of cash or securities equal to their value, (ii) provide for the assumption of or issuance of substitute awards that will substantially preserve the otherwise applicable terms of any affected awards previously granted under the plan, (iii) modify the terms of such awards to add events or conditions upon which the vesting of such awards or lapse of restrictions will accelerate, (iv) deem any performance conditions satisfied at target, maximum or actual performance through closing or provide for the performance conditions to continue after closing or (v) provide that for a period of at least 20 days prior to the Change of Control, any stock options or SARs that would not otherwise become exercisable prior to the Change of Control will be exercisable as to all shares subject thereto.
Limits on Compensation to
Non-Employee
Directors
.
The Incentive Compensation Plan provides that no
non-employee
director of the Post-Combination Company may be granted (in any calendar year) compensation with a value in excess of $750,000 ($1,000,000 in the initial year of appointment or election to the Post-Combination Company’s board of directors), with the value of any equity-based awards based on the accounting grant date value of such award.
Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences Related to the Incentive Compensation Plan
The following is a general summary under current law of the principal United States federal income tax consequences related to awards under the Incentive Compensation Plan applicable to U.S. participants. This summary deals with the general federal income tax principles that apply and is provided only for general information. Other kinds of taxes, such as state, local and foreign income taxes and federal employment taxes, are not discussed. This summary is not intended as tax advice to participants, who should consult their own tax advisors.
Non-Qualified
Stock Options
. If an optionee is granted a
non-qualified
stock option under the Incentive Compensation Plan, the optionee should not have taxable income on the grant of the option. Generally, the optionee should recognize ordinary income at the time of exercise in an amount equal to the fair market value of the shares of Class A common stock of the Post-Combination Company acquired on the date of exercise, less the exercise price paid for the shares. The optionee’s basis in the common stock for purposes of determining gain or loss on a subsequent sale or disposition of such shares generally will be the fair market value of a share of Class A common stock on the date the optionee exercises such option. Any subsequent gain or loss will be taxable as a long-term or short-term capital gain or loss. We or our subsidiaries or affiliates generally should be entitled to a federal income tax deduction at the time and for the same amount as the optionee recognizes ordinary income.
Incentive Stock Options
. A participant receiving ISOs should not recognize taxable income upon grant. Additionally, if applicable holding period requirements (described below) are met, the participant should not recognize taxable income at the time of exercise. However, the excess of the fair market value of the shares of Class A common stock acquired over the option exercise price is an item of tax preference income potentially subject to the alternative minimum tax. If stock acquired upon exercise of an ISO is held for a minimum of two years from the date of grant and one year from the date of exercise and otherwise satisfies the ISO requirements, the gain or loss (in an amount equal to the difference between the fair market value on the date of disposition and the exercise price) upon disposition of the stock will be treated as a long-term capital gain or loss. If the holding
136

Table of Contents
period requirements are not met, the ISO will be treated as one that does not meet the requirements of the Code for ISOs and the participant will recognize ordinary income at the time of the disposition equal to the excess of the amount realized over the exercise price, but not more than the excess of the fair market value of the shares on the date the ISO is exercised over the exercise price, with any remaining gain or loss being treated as capital gain or capital loss. We are not entitled to a tax deduction upon either the exercise of an ISO or upon disposition of the shares acquired pursuant to such exercise, except to the extent that the participant recognizes ordinary income on disposition of the shares.
Stock Appreciation Rights
. Generally, a participant will recognize ordinary income upon the receipt of payment pursuant to SARs in an amount equal to the aggregate amount of cash and the fair market value of any shares of Class A common stock received. We or our subsidiaries or affiliates generally will be entitled to a corresponding tax deduction equal to the amount includible in the participant’s income.
Restricted Shares
. A participant should not have taxable income on the grant of unvested restricted shares of Class A common stock, nor will we or our subsidiaries or affiliates then be entitled to any deduction, unless the participant makes a valid election under Section 83(b) of the Code as described below. However, when restrictions on shares of restricted stock lapse, such that the shares are no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture, the participant generally will recognize ordinary income, and we or our subsidiaries or affiliates will be entitled to a corresponding deduction in an amount equal to the difference between the fair market value of the shares at the date such restrictions lapse over the purchase price, if any, paid for the restricted stock.
If the participant makes a valid election under Section 83(b) of the Code with respect to restricted shares of Class A common stock, the participant generally will recognize ordinary income at the date of issuance of the restricted stock in an amount equal to the difference, if any, between the fair market value of the shares at that date over the purchase price, if any, for the restricted stock, and we or our subsidiaries or affiliates will be entitled to a deduction for the same amount.
Restricted Stock Units
. A participant will not recognize taxable income at the time of the grant of the restricted stock units, and neither we nor our subsidiaries or affiliates will be entitled to a deduction at that time. When a restricted stock unit is paid, whether in cash or common stock, the participant will have ordinary income equal to the fair market value of the shares delivered or the cash paid, and we or our subsidiaries or affiliates will be entitled to a corresponding deduction.
Cash-Based Awards
. A participant generally will not recognize taxable income at the time of the grant of a cash-based award, and neither we nor our subsidiaries or affiliates will be entitled to a deduction at that time. When any such cash-based award is paid, whether in cash or common stock, the participant will have ordinary income equal to the cash paid, and we or our subsidiaries or affiliates will be entitled to a corresponding deduction.
Section 409A of the Code
Certain types of awards under the Incentive Compensation Plan may constitute, or provide for, a deferral of compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code. Unless certain requirements set forth in Section 409A of the Code are complied with, holders of such awards may be taxed earlier than would otherwise be the case (for example, at the time of vesting instead of the time of payment) and may be subject to an additional 20% penalty tax (and, potentially, certain interest penalties and additional state taxes). To the extent applicable, the Incentive Compensation Plan and awards granted under the Incentive Compensation Plan are intended to be structured and interpreted in a manner intended to either comply with or be exempt from Section 409A of the Code and the Department of Treasury regulations and other interpretive guidance that may be issued under Section 409A of the Code.

New Incentive Compensation Plan Benefits
The Incentive Compensation Plan does not provide for set benefits or amounts of awards and we have not approved any stock awards that are conditioned on stockholder approval of the Incentive Compensation Plan. All future grants of awards under the Incentive Compensation Plan are subject to the discretion of the compensation committee. Therefore, it is not possible to determine the future benefits that will be received by these participants under the Incentive Compensation Plan.
Interests of Certain Persons in this Proposal
The director nominees set out under “
Proposal No. 5—The Director Election Proposal
” may be considered to have an interest in the approval of the Incentive Compensation Plan because they may in the future receive awards under the Incentive Compensation Plan. Nevertheless, the SVF 3 Board believes that it is important to provide incentives and rewards for superior performance and the retention of executive officers and experienced directors by adopting the Incentive Compensation Plan.
Vote Required for Approval
If the Business Combination Proposal is not approved, the Incentive Compensation Plan Proposal will not be presented at the Extraordinary General Meeting. The approval of the Incentive Compensation Plan Proposal requires an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the votes cast by the shareholders present in person (which would include presence at a virtual meeting) or represented by proxy at the quorate Extraordinary General Meeting and entitled to vote on such matter. Abstentions and broker
non-votes,
while considered present for purposes of establishing quorum, will not count as votes cast at the Extraordinary General Meeting, and otherwise will have no effect on the proposal.
The Business Combination is conditioned upon the approval of the Incentive Compensation Plan Proposal, subject to the terms of the Merger Agreement. Notwithstanding the approval of the Incentive Compensation Plan Proposal, if the Business Combination is not consummated for any reason, the actions contemplated by the Incentive Compensation Plan Proposal will not be effected.
The Sponsor and SVF 3’s directors and officers have agreed to vote any Class A ordinary shares and Founder Shares owned by them in favor of the Incentive Compensation Plan Proposal. See “
The Business Combination—Other Agreements—Sponsor Support Agreement
” for more information.
Our Board believes that the Incentive Compensation Plan will provide us with the continued ability to link participants’ pay to shareholder returns, and that it is a critical compensation component in our ability to attract, retain and motivate employees by aligning their interests with the interests of our shareholders.

Annex D

Table of Contents
PROPOSAL NO. 9—THE ESPP PROPOSAL
Overview
We expect that our Board will approve and adopt, subject to shareholder approval, the Symbotic Inc. 2022 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”). Our ESPP is not intended to qualify as an “employee stock purchase plan” as defined in Section 423 of the Code. A copy of the ESPP is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as
Annex E
.
Purpose of the ESPP
The purpose of the ESPP is to provide employees an opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest in the Post-Combination Company through the purchase of the Post-Combination Company’s Class A common stock. We believe that the ESPP advances the interests of the Post-Combination Company and its stockholders by providing an investment benefit for its employees that will help attract, reward and retain highly qualified employees and will help align their interests with those of its stockholders.
Material Terms of the ESPP
The material terms of the ESPP, as currently contemplated by our board of directors, are summarized below. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the ESPP, a copy of which is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as
Annex
E
. We urge our shareholders to read carefully the entire ESPP before voting on this proposal.
Share Reserve
. The aggregate number of shares of Class A common stock of the Post-Combination Company that will be reserved and available for sale under the ESPP will be equal to 2.5% of the total number of outstanding shares as of the closing of the Business Combination (the “Initial Share Limit”), subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms of the ESPP. The Initial Share Limit is subject to an annual increase on the first day of each calendar year, beginning January 1, 2023 and ending on and including January 1, 2032, equal to the lesser of (i) 1% of the aggregate number of shares of Class A common stock of the Post-Combination Company then outstanding on the final day of the immediately preceding calendar year, (ii) the number of shares that equals twice the size of the Initial Share Limit and (iii) such smaller number of shares (which may be zero) as is determined by the compensation committee of the board of directors prior to such calendar year.
Administration
. The compensation committee will administer the ESPP. The board of directors may, in its sole discretion, grant awards or administer the ESPP. The compensation committee will generally have the authority to interpret the ESPP, establish, amend and rescind any rules and regulations relating to the ESPP, determine the terms and provisions of any agreements entered into under the ESPP and make all other determinations necessary or advisable for administration of the ESPP based on information made available to the compensation committee by the management of the Post-Combination Company.
Eligibility
. All active employees of the Post-Combination Company or of any of its subsidiaries, other than Excluded Employees (as defined below) are eligible to participate in the ESPP; provided that they are customarily employed for at least 20 hours a week on a regular basis and they are employed at the time of the applicable offering period under the ESPP. An “Excluded Employee” will mean those employees or individuals which are temporary or leased employees, interns, and such other individuals deemed ineligible to participate in the ESPP. It is expected that approximately 800 employees will be eligible to participate in the ESPP.
Purchase of Shares
. The ESPP permits eligible employees to purchase shares of the Post-Combination Company’s Class A common stock through payroll withholding. Each offering period commencing under the ESPP initially will be six months in duration, commencing on a date determined by the compensation committee.
139

Table of Contents
In no event may an offering period extend for more than 27 months. The timing and duration of future offering periods may be changed from time to time. At the end of each offering period, shares will be deposited into the participating employee’s account based on payroll deductions accumulated during that period, not to exceed the lesser of 15% of the employee’s compensation and $25,000 per calendar year.
Purchase Price
. The purchase price for each offering period will be determined by the Compensation Committee, including whether such purchase price will be determined based on the lesser of the closing price of the shares on (i) the first business day of the offering period or (ii) the last business day of the offering period, or will be based solely on the closing price of the shares on the last business day of the offering period; provided, however, that such purchase price will be at least 85% of the applicable closing price. In the absence of a determination by the Compensation Committee, the purchase price will be 85% of the lesser of the closing price of the shares on (i) the first business day of the offering period or (ii) the last business day of the offering period.
Participation and Withdrawal from the ESPP
. Enrolled employees will automatically participate in the next offering period, provided the employee has not withdrawn from the ESPP, continues to meet the eligibility requirements and has not terminated employment. A participant may withdraw from an offering at any time without affecting his or her or their eligibility to participate in future offerings. A participant may elect to decrease or increase the rate of, or stop, deductions one time during an offering period by filing a payroll deduction authorization form.
Termination of Employment
. If a participating employee’s employment ends before the last business day of an offering period for any reason, any balance remaining in the employee’s payroll deduction account will be refunded in accordance with the Post-Combination Company’s regular payroll practices.
Restrictions on Transfer
. Purchase rights granted under the ESPP are not transferable other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and will be exercisable during the lifetime of the participant only by the participant.
Adjustments and Reorganization Events
. In the event of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, combination of shares, reclassification of shares,
spin-off
or other similar change in capitalization or event, or any dividend or distribution to holders of shares other than an ordinary cash dividend, (a) the number and class of securities available under the ESPP, (b) the share limitations of the ESPP and (c) the purchase price will be equitably adjusted to the extent determined by the compensation committee. Upon the occurrence of certain reorganization events, the compensation committee may take any actions to adjust options to purchase shares under the ESPP, including the length of offering periods, or any other actions the compensation committee deems appropriate.
Amendment or Termination
. Our compensation committee generally may, at any time, amend or terminate the ESPP in any respect, except that, if the amendment would increase the maximum number of shares issuable under the ESPP, such amendment will not be effective without stockholder approval.
Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences Related to the ESPP
The following is a general summary under current law of the principal United States federal income tax consequences related to awards under the ESPP applicable to U.S. participants. This summary deals with the general federal income tax principles that apply and is provided only for general information. Other kinds of taxes, such as state, local and foreign income taxes and federal employment taxes, are not discussed. This summary is not intended as tax advice to participants, who should consult their own tax advisors.
The ESPP is not intended to qualify as an “employee stock purchase plan” under Section 423 of the Code for U.S. taxpayers. Therefore, at the time of exercise of an option to purchase shares, an employee subject to tax under the Code would recognize ordinary income equal to the excess of the fair market value of the stock on the date of exercise over the purchase price and the Post-Combination Company would be able to claim a tax deduction equal to this difference.
140

Table of Contents
New ESPP Benefits
Participation in the ESPP is voluntary and each eligible employee will make his or her or their own decision whether and to what extent to participate in the ESPP. It is therefore not possible to determine the future benefits that will be received by participants under the ESPP.
Interests of Certain Persons in this Proposal
The director nominees set out under “
Proposal No. 5—The Director Election Proposal
” may be considered to have an interest in the approval of the ESPP because, to the extent any such nominees will be employees of the Post-Combination Company, they may in the future make purchases under the ESPP. Nevertheless, the SVF 3 Board believes that it is important to provide incentives and rewards for superior performance and the retention of executive officers and experienced directors by adopting the ESPP.
Vote Required for Approval
If the Business Combination Proposal is not approved, the ESPP Proposal will not be presented at the Extraordinary General Meeting. The approval of the ESPP Proposal requires an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the votes cast by the shareholders present in person (which would include presence at a virtual meeting) or represented by proxy at the quorate Extraordinary General Meeting and entitled to vote on such matter. Abstentions and broker
non-votes,
while considered present for purposes of establishing quorum, will not count as votes cast at the Extraordinary General Meeting, and otherwise will have no effect on the proposal.
The Business Combination is conditioned upon the approval of the ESPP Proposal, subject to the terms of the Merger Agreement. Notwithstanding the approval of the ESPP Proposal, if the Business Combination is not consummated for any reason, the actions contemplated by the ESPP Proposal will not be effected.
The Sponsor and SVF 3’s directors and officers have agreed to vote any Class A ordinary shares and Founder Shares owned by them in favor of the ESPP Proposal. See “
The Business Combination—Other Agreements—Sponsor Support Agreement
” for more information.
Reasons for the ESPP Proposal
Our Board believes that the ESPP will be an integral part of the Post-Combination Company’s compensation program and will be particularly important to its
non-executive
employees. The ESPP would allow its employees to acquire an ownership interest in the Post-Combination Company and is intended to motivate them to contribute to the growth and profitability of the Post-Combination Company.
Resolution
The full text of the resolution to be passed is as follows:

PROPOSAL NO. 10—THE ADJOURNMENT PROPOSAL
The Adjournment Proposal, if presented and adopted, will allow the SVF 3 Board to adjourn the Extraordinary General Meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies (i) to ensure that any required supplement or amendment to the proxy statement/prospectus is provided to SVF 3’s shareholders, and/or (ii) in the event that there are insufficient votes for, or otherwise in connection with, the approval of the Condition Precedent Proposals, or we determine that one or more of the closing conditions under the Merger Agreement is not satisfied or waived. In no event will the SVF 3 Board adjourn the Extraordinary General Meeting or consummate the Business Combination beyond the date by which it may properly do so under the existing Articles and Cayman Islands law.
Consequences if the Adjournment Proposal is not Approved
If the Adjournment Proposal is not approved by shareholders, the SVF 3 Board may not be able to adjourn the Extraordinary General Meeting to a later date in the event that there are insufficient votes for the approval of the Condition Precedent Proposals, or we determine that one or more of the closing conditions under the Merger Agreement is not satisfied or waived. If SVF 3 does not consummate the Business Combination and fails to complete an initial business combination within the Completion Window (subject to the requirements of law), SVF 3 will be required to dissolve and liquidate its Trust Account by returning the then remaining funds in such account to its Public Shareholders.
Vote Required for Approval
The approval of the Adjournment Proposal requires an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the votes cast by the shareholders present in person (which would include presence at a virtual meeting) or represented by proxy at the quorate Extraordinary General Meeting and entitled to vote on such matter. Abstentions and broker
non-votes,
while considered present for purposes of establishing quorum, will not count as votes cast at the Extraordinary General Meeting, and otherwise will have no effect on the proposal.

INFORMATION ABOUT SVF 3
In this section, “we,” “us” and “our” refer to SVF 3 prior to the Business Combination and to Symbotic Inc., the
Post-Combination
Company, following the Business Combination.
Introduction
We are a blank check company incorporated on December 11, 2020 as a Cayman Islands exempted company for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities. Our intention at formation was to identify a prospective target business in a technology-enabled sector where our management team have differentiated experience and insights. Prior to executing the Merger Agreement, our efforts were limited to organizational activities, completion of our initial public offering and the evaluation of possible business combinations. We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenue to date. Based on our business activities, we are a “shell company” as defined under the Exchange Act because we have no operations and our assets consist almost entirely of cash and cash equivalents, with nominal other assets.
Company History
On December 14, 2020, our Sponsor paid $25,000, or approximately $0.009 per share, to cover certain of our expenses in consideration of 2,875,000 Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share. On January 29, 2021, we issued additional 12,125,000 Class B ordinary shares to our Sponsor by way of dividend. On February 3 and February 26, 2021, our Sponsor surrendered 5,000,000 and 2,000,000 Class B ordinary shares, respectively, resulting in our sponsor holding a total of 8,000,000 Class B ordinary shares. On February 24, 2021, our Sponsor transferred 50,000 Class B ordinary shares to each of Michael Carpenter and Michael Tobin. In connection with Cristiana Falcone’s appointment to the Board, our Sponsor transferred 50,000 Class B ordinary shares to Cristiana Falcone. Prior to the initial investment in the company of $25,000 by the Sponsor, SVF 3 had no assets, tangible or intangible. The per share price of the Founder Shares was determined by dividing the amount contributed to SVF 3 by the number of Founder Shares issued.
In connection with the SVF 3 IPO, we entered into the Forward Purchase Agreement with the Forward Purchase Investor, which provides for the purchase of $150,000,000 of Forward Purchase Shares for $10.00 per share, in a private placement to close substantially concurrently with the closing of SVF 3’s initial business combination. The Forward Purchase Agreement also provided that the Forward Purchase Investor may elect to purchase up to an additional $50,000,000 of Forward Purchase Shares, for a purchase price of $10.00 per share. The Forward Purchase Investor has elected to purchase 5,000,000 additional Forward Purchase Shares for aggregate proceeds of $50,000,000 immediately prior to the Closing.
On March 11, 2021, we consummated the SVF 3 IPO of 28,000,000 Class A ordinary shares, excluding the underwriters’ over-allotment option. The shares were sold at a price of $10.00 per share, generating gross proceeds to us of $280,000,000. We granted the underwriters in the SVF 3 IPO (the “Underwriters”) a
45-day
option to purchase up to 4,000,000 additional Class A ordinary shares to cover
over-allotments,
if any. The Underwriters exercised the
over-allotment
option in full and purchased an additional 4,000,000 Class A ordinary shares, generating gross proceeds of $40,000,000.
Simultaneous with the consummation of the SVF 3 IPO, we consummated the private placement of an aggregate of 1,040,000 Private Placement Shares to the Sponsor at a price of $10.00 per share, generating total proceeds of $10,400,000. The net proceeds received from the SVF 3 IPO and certain of the proceeds from the Private Placement, $320,000,000 in the aggregate, were placed in the Trust Account.
On August 10, 2021, the Sponsor agreed to loan SVF 3 $2.0 million as a Working Capital Loan. On November 9, 2021, the Sponsor and SVF 3 agreed to amend this loan to increase the commitment by $1.0

If SVF 3 does not complete an initial business combination within the Completion Window, SVF 3 may use a portion of its working capital 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. Up to $2,000,000 of such loans may be convertible into Class A ordinary shares of the post-business combination entity at a price of $10.00 per share at the option of the lender.
Our ordinary shares continue to trade on NASDAQ under the symbol “SVFC.”
Redemption of Public Shares and Liquidation if No Initial Business Combination
The Articles provide that we will have only 24 months from the closing of the SVF 3 IPO to consummate an initial business combination. If we have not consummated an initial business combination within the Completion Window, 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 fund Regulatory Withdrawals (as defined in the Articles), subject to an annual limit of $250,000, for a maximum of 24 months and/or to pay income taxes, if any, (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses) divided by the number of the then-outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Public Shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any); and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining shareholders and our board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. The Articles provide that, if a resolution of the company’s shareholders is passed pursuant to the Companies Act (2021 Revision) of the Cayman Islands to commence the voluntary liquidation of the company, we will follow the foregoing procedures with respect to the liquidation of the Trust Account as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, subject to applicable Cayman Islands law.
Our Sponsor and each of our directors and officers have entered into an agreement with us pursuant to which they have agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Founder Shares they hold and will have no rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Private Placement Shares they hold if we fail to consummate an initial business combination within the Completion Window (although they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Public Shares they hold if we fail to complete our initial business combination within the prescribed time frame).
Our Sponsor and each of our directors and officers have agreed, pursuant to a written agreement with us, that they will not propose any amendment to the Articles (a) that would modify the substance or timing of our obligation to provide holders of our Class A ordinary shares the right to have their shares redeemed in connection with our initial business combination or to redeem 100% of our Public Shares if we do not complete our initial business combination within the Completion Window or (b) with respect to any other provision relating to the rights of holders of our Class A ordinary shares, unless we provide our Public Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares upon approval of any such amendment 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 income taxes, if any, divided by the number of the then-outstanding Public Shares. However, we may not redeem our Public Shares in an amount that would cause our net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001 either prior to or upon consummation of an initial business combination (so that we do not then become subject to the SEC’s “penny stock” rules). If this optional redemption right is exercised with respect to an excessive number of Public Shares such that we cannot satisfy the net tangible asset requirement, we would not proceed with the amendment or the related redemption of our Public Shares at such time. This redemption right shall apply in the event of the approval of any such amendment, whether proposed by our Sponsor, any executive officer, director or director nominee, or any other person.

We expect that all costs and expenses associated with implementing our plan of dissolution, as well as payments to any creditors, will be funded from amounts held outside the Trust Account plus up to $100,000 of funds from the Trust Account available to us to pay dissolution expenses, although we cannot assure you that there will be sufficient funds for such purpose.
If we were to expend all of the net proceeds of the SVF 3 IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Shares, other than the proceeds deposited in the Trust Account, and without taking into account interest, if any, earned on the Trust Account,
the per-share redemption
amount received by shareholders upon our dissolution would be $10.00. The proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could, however, become subject to the claims of our creditors which would have higher priority than the claims of our Public Shareholders. We cannot assure you that the
actual per-share redemption
amount received by shareholders will not be less than $10.00. While we intend to pay such amounts, if any, we cannot assure you that we will have funds sufficient to pay or provide for all creditors’ claims.
Although we seek to have all vendors, service providers, prospective target businesses and other entities with which we do business execute agreements with us waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account for the benefit of our Public Shareholders, there is no guarantee that they will execute such agreements or even if they execute such agreements that they would be prevented from bringing claims against the Trust Account including, but not limited, to fraudulent inducement, breach of fiduciary responsibility or other similar claims, as well as claims challenging the enforceability of the waiver, in each case in order to gain an advantage with respect to a claim against our assets, including the funds held in the Trust Account. If any third-party refuses to execute an agreement waiving such claims to the monies held in the Trust Account, our management will perform an analysis of the alternatives available to it and will only enter into an agreement with a third-party that has not executed a waiver if management believes that such third-party’s engagement would be significantly more beneficial to us than any alternative. Examples of possible instances where we may engage a third-party that refuses to execute a waiver include the engagement of a third-party consultant whose particular expertise or skills are believed by management to be significantly superior to those of other consultants that would agree to execute a waiver or in cases where management is unable to find a service provider willing to execute a waiver. In addition, there is no guarantee that such entities will agree to waive any claims they may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations, contracts or agreements with us and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account for any reason. In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, our Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to us if and to the extent any claims by a third-party for services rendered or products sold to us (other than our independent registered public accounting firm), or a prospective target business with which we have discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amounts 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 as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account if less than $10.00 per Public Share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, in each case net of the interest that may be withdrawn to pay our tax obligations,
provided
that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third-party or prospective target business that executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account nor will it apply to any claims under our indemnity of the underwriters of the SVF 3 IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. In the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third-party, our Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third-party claims. However, we have not asked our Sponsor to reserve for such indemnification obligations, nor have we independently verified whether our Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and we believe that our Sponsor’s only assets are securities of SVF 3. Therefore, we cannot assure you that our Sponsor would be able to satisfy those obligations. None of our officers or directors will indemnify us for claims by third parties including, without limitation, claims by vendors and prospective target businesses.
In the event that the proceeds in the Trust Account are reduced below the lesser of (i) $10.00 per Public Share and (ii) the actual amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account if less than $10.00 per Public Share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, in each case net of the amount of interest which may be withdrawn to pay our income tax obligations, and our Sponsor asserts
145

Table of Contents
that it is unable to satisfy its indemnification obligations or that it has no indemnification obligations related to a particular claim, our independent directors would determine whether to take legal action against our Sponsor to enforce its indemnification obligations. While we currently expect that our independent directors would take legal action on our behalf against our Sponsor to enforce its indemnification obligations to us, it is possible that our independent directors in exercising their business judgment may choose not to do so in any particular instance. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that due to claims of creditors the actual value of
the per-share redemption
price will not be less than $10.00 per Public Share.
We will seek to reduce the possibility that our 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 we do business execute agreements with us waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account. Our Sponsor will also not be liable as to any claims under our indemnity of the underwriters of the SVF 3 IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. We will have access to funds held outside the Trust Account with which to pay any such potential claims (including costs and expenses incurred in connection with our liquidation, currently estimated to be no more than approximately $100,000). In the event that we liquidate and it is subsequently determined that the reserve for claims and liabilities is insufficient, shareholders who received funds from our Trust Account could be liable for claims made by creditors, however such liability will not be greater than the amount of funds from our Trust Account received by any such shareholder.
If we file a bankruptcy or insolvency petition or an involuntary bankruptcy or insolvency petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be subject to applicable bankruptcy or insolvency law, and may be included in our bankruptcy or insolvency estate and subject to the claims of third parties with priority over the claims of our shareholders. To the extent any bankruptcy or insolvency claims deplete the Trust Account, we cannot assure you we will be able to return $10.00 per Public Share to our Public Shareholders. Additionally, if we file a bankruptcy or insolvency petition or an involuntary bankruptcy or insolvency petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, any distributions received by shareholders could be viewed under applicable debtor/creditor and/or bankruptcy or insolvency laws as either a “preferential transfer” or a “fraudulent conveyance.” As a result, a bankruptcy or insolvency court could seek to recover some or all amounts received by our shareholders. Furthermore, our board of directors may be viewed as having breached its fiduciary duty to our creditors and/or may have acted in bad faith, and thereby exposing itself and our company to claims of punitive damages, by paying Public Shareholders from the Trust Account prior to addressing the claims of creditors. We cannot assure you that claims will not be brought against us for these reasons.
Our Public Shareholders will be entitled to receive funds from the Trust Account only (i) in the event of the redemption of our Public Shares if we do not complete our initial business combination within the Completion Window, (ii) in connection with a shareholder vote to amend the Articles (A) to modify the substance or timing of our obligation to provide holders of our Class A ordinary shares the right to have their shares redeemed in connection with our initial business combination or to redeem 100% of our Public Shares if we do not complete our initial business combination within the Completion Window or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to the rights of holders of our Class A ordinary shares, or (iii) if they redeem their respective shares for cash upon the completion of the initial business combination. Public Shareholders who redeem their Class A ordinary shares in connection with a shareholder vote described in clause (ii) in the preceding sentence shall not be entitled to funds from the Trust Account upon the subsequent completion of an initial business combination or liquidation if we have not consummated an initial business combination within the Completion Window, with respect to such Class A ordinary shares so redeemed. In no other circumstances will a shareholder have any right or interest of any kind to or in the Trust Account. In the event we seek shareholder approval in connection with our initial business combination, a shareholder’s voting in connection with the business combination alone will not result in a shareholder’s redeeming its shares to us for an applicable pro rata share of the Trust Account. Such shareholder must have also exercised its redemption rights described above. These provisions of the Articles, like all provisions of the Articles, may be amended with a shareholder vote.

Voting Restrictions in Connection with the Extraordinary General Meeting
Pursuant to the terms of the Sponsor Support Agreement, the Sponsor and SVF 3’s directors and officers have agreed to vote any Founder Shares and Class A ordinary shares held by them in favor of each of the proposals presented at the Extraordinary General Meeting. See “
The Business Combination—Other Agreements—Sponsor Support Agreement
” for more information. The Initial Shareholders and SVF 3’s directors and officers own 22.3% of SVF 3’s outstanding ordinary shares entitled to vote thereon. The quorum and voting thresholds at the Extraordinary General Meeting and the Sponsor Support Agreement may make it more likely that SVF 3 will consummate the Business Combination.
Facilities
We currently maintain our executive offices at 1 Circle Star Way, San Carlos, CA 94070, United States. The cost for our use of this space is included in the $10,000 per month fee we pay to an affiliate of our Sponsor for office space, administrative and support services. We consider our current office space adequate for our current operations.
Employees
We currently have two executive officers. These individuals are not obligated to devote any specific number of hours to our matters but they intend to devote as much of their time as they deem necessary to our affairs until we have completed our initial business combination. The amount of time they will devote in any time period will vary based on whether a target business has been selected for our initial business combination and the stage of the business combination process we are in. We do not intend to have any full-time employees prior to the completion of our initial business combination.
Legal Proceedings
In connection with the Business Combination, two purported shareholders of SVF 3 have sent demand letters requesting that SVF 3 provide additional disclosures in an amendment to the registration statement filed in connection with the Business Combination. We believe that the allegations in the demand letters are meritless and no additional disclosure is required in such registration statement. These cases are in the early stages and we are currently unable to reasonably determine the outcome or estimate any potential losses, and, as such, have not recorded a loss contingency. There is no other material litigation, arbitration or governmental proceeding currently pending against us or any members of our management team in their capacity as such.

Number and Terms of Office of Officers and Directors
Our board of directors is divided into three classes, with only one class of directors being appointed in each year, and with each class (except for those directors appointed prior to our first annual general meeting) serving a three-year term. In accordance with NASDAQ corporate governance requirements, we are not required to hold an annual general meeting until one year after our first fiscal year end following our listing on NASDAQ. The term of office of the first class of directors, consisting of Cristiana Falcone, will expire at our first annual general meeting. The term of office of the second class of directors, consisting of Michael Tobin and Michael Carpenter, will expire at our second annual general meeting. The term of office of the third class of directors, consisting of Ioannis Pipilis and Navneet Govil, will expire at our third annual general meeting.
Prior to the completion of an initial business combination, any vacancy on the board of directors may be filled by a nominee chosen by holders of a majority of our Founder Shares. In addition, prior to the completion of an initial business combination, holders of a majority of our Founder Shares may remove a member of the board of directors for any reason.
Pursuant to the registration and shareholder rights agreement in connection with the SVF 3 IPO, our Sponsor, upon and following consummation of an initial business combination, will be entitled to nominate three individuals for appointment to the Post-Combination Company’s Board, as long as the Sponsor holds any securities covered by such agreement. In connection with the Business Combination, such registration and
149

Table of Contents
shareholder rights agreement will be amended and restated, such that the Post-Combination Company’s Board is proposed to consist of the directors listed in the section “
Management of the Post-Combination Company.
”
Our officers are appointed by the board of directors and serve at the discretion of the board of directors, rather than for specific terms of office. Our board of directors is authorized to appoint persons to the offices including those set forth in the Articles as it deems appropriate. The Articles provide that our officers may consist of one or more chairman of the board, chief executive officer, president, chief financial officer, vice presidents, secretary, treasurer and such other offices as may be determined by the board of directors.
Director Independence
NASDAQ listing standards require that a majority of our board of directors be independent. Our board of directors has determined that Michael Carpenter, Michael Tobin and Cristiana Falcone are “independent directors” as defined in NASDAQ listing standards. Our independent directors will have regularly scheduled meetings at which only independent directors are present.
Executive Officer and Director Compensation
None of our executive officers or directors have received any cash compensation for services rendered to us. Commencing on the date that our securities are first listed on NASDAQ through the earlier of consummation of our initial business combination and our liquidation, we will reimburse an affiliate of our Sponsor for office space, secretarial and administrative services provided to us in the amount of $10,000 per month. In addition, our Sponsor, executive officers and directors, or their respective affiliates will be reimbursed for
any out-of-pocket expenses
incurred in connection with activities on our behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations. Our audit committee will review on a quarterly basis all payments that were made by us to our Sponsor, executive officers or directors, or their affiliates. Any such payments prior to an initial business combination will be made using funds held outside the Trust Account. Other than quarterly audit committee review of such reimbursements, we do not expect to have any additional controls in place governing our reimbursement payments to our directors and executive officers for
their out-of-pocket expenses
incurred in connection with our activities on our behalf in connection with identifying and consummating an initial business combination. Other than these payments and reimbursements, no compensation of any kind, including finder’s and consulting fees, will be paid by the company to our Sponsor, executive officers and directors, or their respective affiliates, prior to completion of our initial business combination.
After the completion of our initial business combination, directors or members of our management team who remain with us may be paid consulting or management fees from the Post-Combination Company. All of these fees will be fully disclosed to shareholders, to the extent then known, in the proxy solicitation materials or tender offer materials furnished to our shareholders in connection with a proposed business combination. We have not established any limit on the amount of such fees that may be paid by the Post-Combination Company to our directors or members of management. It is unlikely the amount of such compensation will be known at the time of the proposed business combination, because the directors of the post-combination business will be responsible for determining executive officer and director compensation. Any compensation to be paid to our executive officers will be determined, or recommended to the board of directors for determination, either by a compensation committee constituted solely by independent directors or by a majority of the independent directors on our board of directors.
We do not intend to take any action to ensure that members of our management team maintain their positions with us after the consummation of our initial business combination, although it is possible that some or all of our executive officers and directors may negotiate employment or consulting arrangements to remain with us after our initial business combination. The existence or terms of any such employment or consulting arrangements to retain their positions with us may influence our management’s motivation in identifying or
150

Table of Contents
selecting a target business but we do not believe that the ability of our management to remain with us after the consummation of our initial business combination will be a determining factor in our decision to proceed with any potential business combination. We are not party to any agreements with our executive officers and directors that provide for benefits upon termination of employment.
Committees of the Board of Directors
Our board of directors has three standing committees: an audit committee, a nominating committee and a compensation committee. Subject
to phase-in rules
and a limited exception, the rules of NASDAQ and
Rule 10A-3 of
the Exchange Act require that the audit committee of a listed company be comprised solely of independent directors. Subject
to phase-in rules
and a limited exception, the rules of NASDAQ require that the compensation committee and the nominating committee of a listed company be comprised solely of independent directors.
Audit Committee
We have established an audit committee of the board of directors. Michael Carpenter, Michael Tobin and Cristiana Falcone serve as members of our audit committee. Our board of directors has determined that each of Michael Carpenter, Michael Tobin and Cristiana Falcone are independent under NASDAQ listing standards and applicable SEC rules. Michael Carpenter serves as the Chairman of the audit committee. Our audit committee will consist solely of independent directors that satisfy NASDAQ and SEC requirements within one year of the completion of the SVF 3 IPO. Each member of the audit committee is financially literate and our board of directors has determined that Michael Carpenter qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in applicable SEC rules.
The audit committee is responsible for:

| • |  | meeting with our independent registered public accounting firm regarding, among other issues, audits, and adequacy of our accounting and control systems;

| • |  | monitoring the independence of the independent registered public accounting firm;

| • |  | verifying the rotation of the lead (or coordinating) audit partner having primary responsibility for the audit and the audit partner responsible for reviewing the audit as required by law;

Nominating Committee
We have established a nominating committee of our board of directors. The members of our nominating committee are Michael Carpenter, Michael Tobin, and Cristiana Falcone. Michael Tobin serves as chairman of the nominating committee. Under the NASDAQ listing standards, we are required to have a nominating committee composed entirely of independent directors. Our board of directors has determined that each of Michael Carpenter, Michael Tobin and Cristiana Falcone are independent.
The nominating committee is responsible for overseeing the selection of persons to be nominated to serve on our board of directors. The nominating committee considers persons identified by its members, management, shareholders, investment bankers and others.
Guidelines for Selecting Director Nominees
The guidelines for selecting nominees, which is specified in a charter adopted by us, generally provides that persons to be nominated:

| • |  | should have demonstrated notable or significant achievements in business, education or public service;

| • |  | should possess the requisite intelligence, education and experience to make a significant contribution to the board of directors and bring a range of skills, diverse perspectives and backgrounds to its deliberations; and

| • |  | should have the highest ethical standards, a strong sense of professionalism and intense dedication to serving the interests of the shareholders.

The nominating committee will consider a number of qualifications relating to management and leadership experience, background and integrity and professionalism in evaluating a person’s candidacy for membership on the board of directors. The nominating committee may require certain skills or attributes, such as financial or accounting experience, to meet specific board needs that arise from time to time and will also consider the overall experience and makeup of its members to obtain a broad and diverse mix of board members. The nominating committee does not distinguish among nominees recommended by shareholders and other persons.
Compensation Committee
We have established a compensation committee of our board of directors. The members of our compensation committee are Michael Carpenter, Michael Tobin and Cristiana Falcone. Michael Tobin serves as chairman of the compensation committee.
Under NASDAQ listing standards, we are required to have a compensation committee composed entirely of independent directors. Our board of directors has determined that each of Michael Carpenter, Michael Tobin and Cristiana Falcone are independent. We have adopted a compensation committee charter, which details the principal functions of the compensation committee, including:

| • |  | reviewing and approving on an annual basis the corporate goals and objectives relevant to our Chief Executive Officer’s compensation, evaluating our Chief Executive Officer’s performance in light of such goals and objectives and determining and approving the remuneration (if any) of our Chief Executive Officer based on such evaluation;

| • |  | reviewing and approving the compensation of all of our other Section 16 executive officers; reviewing our executive compensation policies and plans;

| • |  | implementing and administering our incentive compensation equity-based remuneration plans;

| • |  | assisting management in complying with our proxy statement and annual report disclosure requirements;

152

Table of Contents

| • |  | approving all special perquisites, special cash payments and other special compensation and benefit arrangements for our executive officers and employees;

| • |  | producing a report on executive compensation to be included in our annual proxy statement; and

| • |  | reviewing, evaluating and recommending changes, if appropriate, to the remuneration for directors.

The charter also provides that the compensation committee may, in its sole discretion, retain or obtain the advice of a compensation consultant, legal counsel or other adviser and will be directly responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the work of any such adviser.
However, before engaging or receiving advice from a compensation consultant, external legal counsel or any other adviser, the compensation committee will consider the independence of each such adviser, including the factors required by NASDAQ and the SEC.
Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
None of our executive officers currently serves, and in the past year has not served, as a member of the compensation committee of any entity that has one or more executive officers serving on our board of directors.
Code of Ethics
We have adopted a Code of Ethics applicable to our directors, officers and employees. A copy of the Code of Ethics will be provided without charge upon request from us. We intend to disclose any amendments to or waivers of certain provisions of our Code of Ethics in a Current Report on
Form 8-K.
Conflicts of Interest
Under Cayman Islands law, directors and officers owe the following fiduciary duties:

| • |  | duty to act in good faith in what the director or officer believes to be in the best interests of the company as a whole;

| • |  | duty to exercise powers for the purposes for which those powers were conferred and not for a collateral purpose;

| • |  | directors should not improperly fetter the exercise of future discretion;

| • |  | duty not to put themselves in a position in which there is a conflict between their duty to the company and their personal interests; and

| • |  | duty to exercise independent judgment.

In addition to the above, directors also owe a duty of care which is not fiduciary in nature. This duty has been defined as a requirement to act as a reasonably diligent person having both the general knowledge, skill and experience that may reasonably be expected of a person carrying out the same functions as are carried out by that director in relation to the company and the general knowledge skill and experience of that director.
As set out above, directors have a duty not to put themselves in a position of conflict and this includes a duty not to engage in self-dealing, or to otherwise benefit as a result of their position. However, in some instances what would otherwise be a breach of this duty can be forgiven and/or authorized in advance by the shareholders
provided
that there is full disclosure by the directors. This can be done by way of permission granted in the Articles or alternatively by shareholder approval at general meetings.
Certain of our officers and directors presently have, and any of them in the future may have additional, fiduciary and contractual duties to other entities. As a result, if any of our officers or directors becomes aware of
153

Table of Contents
a business combination opportunity which is suitable for an entity to which he or she has then-current fiduciary or contractual obligations, then, he or she may be required to honor such fiduciary or contractual obligations to present such business combination opportunity to such entity, before we can pursue such opportunity. If these other entities decide to pursue any such opportunity, we may be precluded from pursuing the same. However, we do not expect these duties to materially affect our ability to complete our initial business combination. The Articles, to the maximum extent permitted by law, provide that we renounce our interest in any business combination opportunity offered to the Sponsor, director or officer unless such opportunity is expressly offered to such person solely in his or her capacity as a director or officer of the company and it is an opportunity that we are able to complete on a reasonable basis. In addition, the Articles contain provisions to exculpate and indemnify, to the maximum extent permitted by law, such persons in respect of any liability, obligation or duty to us that may arise as a consequence of such persons becoming aware of any business opportunity or failing to present such business opportunity.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, we may, at our option, pursue an acquisition opportunity jointly with one or more entities affiliated with SoftBank Investment Advisers, including SBIA U.K., SBIA U.S. and their respective subsidiaries, being entities established to provide investment advisory, portfolio management, research, deal execution and similar fund advisory services (“SBIA”) and/or one or more investors in funds managed by SBIA. Such entity
may co-invest with
us in the target business at the time of our initial business combination, or we could raise additional proceeds to complete the acquisition by making a specified future issuance to any such fund or vehicle. Such an entity could include another blank check company, including SVF Investment Corp., SVF Investment Corp. 2, or other affiliate blank check company. However, we do not currently have any intention to pursue such a transaction.
Below is a table summarizing the entities to which our executive officers and directors currently have fiduciary duties, contractual obligations or other material management relationships:

Potential investors should also be aware of the following other potential conflicts of interest:

| • |  | Our executive officers and directors are not required to, and will not, commit their full time to our affairs, which may result in a conflict of interest in allocating their time between our operations and our search for a business combination and their other businesses. We do not intend to have any full-time employees prior to the completion of our initial business combination. Each of our executive officers is engaged in several other business endeavors for which he may be entitled to substantial compensation, and our executive officers are not obligated to contribute any specific number of hours per week to our affairs.

| • |  | Our Sponsor subscribed for Founder Shares prior to the date of the prospectus relating to SVF 3’s IPO and purchased Private Placement Shares in a transaction that closed simultaneously with the closing of the SVF 3 IPO.

| • |  | We have entered into the Forward Purchase Agreement with the Forward Purchase Investor who is an affiliate of our Sponsor.

155

Table of Contents

| • |  | Our Sponsor and each member of our management team have entered into an agreement with us, pursuant to which they have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to any Founder Shares and Class A ordinary shares held by them (including the 112,500 Public Shares currently held by our directors and officers) in connection with (i) the completion of our initial business combination, and (ii) a shareholder vote to approve an amendment to the Articles (A) that would modify the substance or timing of our obligation to provide holders of our Class A ordinary shares the right to have their shares redeemed in connection with our initial business combination or to redeem 100% of our public shares if we do not complete our initial business combination within the Completion Window or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to the rights of holders of our Class A ordinary shares. Additionally, our Sponsor has agreed to waive its rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to its Founder Shares and will not have rights to liquidating distributions with respect to its Private Placement Shares if we fail to complete our initial business combination within the prescribed time frame. If we do not complete our initial business combination within the prescribed time frame, the Founder Shares and Private Placement Shares will become worthless. Except as described herein, our Sponsor and our directors and executive officers have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Founder Shares and Private Placement Shares and the Forward Purchase Investor have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Forward Purchase Shares until the earliest of (A) one year after the completion of our initial business combination and (B) subsequent to our initial business combination, (x) if the closing price of our Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share subdivisions, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after our initial business combination, or (y) the date on which we complete a liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of our Public Shareholders having the right to exchange their ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property. Because each of our executive officers and directors owns ordinary shares directly or indirectly, they may have a conflict of interest in determining whether a particular target business is an appropriate business with which to effectuate our initial business combination.

| • |  | Our officers and directors may have a conflict of interest with respect to evaluating a particular business combination if the retention or resignation of any such officers and directors is included by a target business as a condition to any agreement with respect to our initial business combination. In addition, our Sponsor, officers and directors may sponsor, form or participate in other blank check companies similar to ours during the period in which we are seeking an initial business combination. Any such companies may present additional conflicts of interest in pursuing an acquisition target, particularly in the event there is overlap among investment mandates.

We are not prohibited from pursuing an initial business combination with a company that is affiliated with our Sponsor, officers or directors. In the event we seek to complete our initial business combination with a company that is affiliated with our Sponsor or any of our officers or directors, we, or a committee of independent directors, will obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking firm or another independent entity that commonly renders valuation opinions that such initial business combination is fair to our company from a financial point of view. We are not required to obtain such an opinion in any other context.
Furthermore, in no event will our Sponsor or any of our existing officers or directors, or their respective affiliates, be paid by us any finder’s fee, consulting fee or other compensation prior to, or for any services they render in order to effectuate, the completion of our initial business combination. Further, commencing on the date our securities are first listed on NASDAQ, we will also reimburse an affiliate of our Sponsor for office space, secretarial and general administrative services provided to us in the amount of $10,000 per month.
We cannot assure you that any of the above mentioned conflicts will be resolved in our favor.
If we seek shareholder approval, we will complete our initial business combination only if we obtain the approval of an ordinary resolution. In such case, our Sponsor and each member of our management team have
156

Table of Contents
agreed to vote their Founder Shares, Private Placement Shares and Public Shares in favor of our initial business combination.
Limitation on Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors
Cayman Islands law does not limit the extent to which a company’s memorandum and articles of association may provide for indemnification of officers and directors, except to the extent any such provision may be held by the Cayman Islands courts to be contrary to public policy, such as to provide indemnification against willful default, willful neglect, actual fraud or the consequences of committing a crime. The Articles provide for indemnification of our officers and directors to the maximum extent permitted by law, including for any liability incurred in their capacities as such, except through their own actual fraud, willful default or willful neglect. We have entered into agreements with our directors and officers to provide contractual indemnification in addition to the indemnification provided for in the Articles. We have purchased a policy of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance that insures our officers and directors against the cost of defense, settlement or payment of a judgment in some circumstances and insures us against our obligations to indemnify our officers and directors.
Our officers and directors have agreed to waive any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies in the Trust Account, and have agreed to waive any right, title, interest or claim of any kind they may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any services provided to us and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account for any reason whatsoever (except to the extent they are entitled to funds from the Trust Account due to their ownership of Public Shares). Accordingly, any indemnification provided will only be able to be satisfied by us if (i) we have sufficient funds outside of the Trust Account or (ii) we consummate an initial business combination.
Our indemnification obligations may discourage shareholders from bringing a lawsuit against our officers or directors for breach of their fiduciary duty. These provisions also may have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against our officers and directors, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit us and our shareholders. Furthermore, a shareholder’s investment may be adversely affected to the extent we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against our officers and directors pursuant to these indemnification provisions.
We believe that these provisions, the insurance and the indemnity agreements are necessary to attract and retain talented and experienced officers and directors.

SVF 3’S MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with “Summary Historical Financial Data for SVF 3,” “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements,” “Selected Historical Financial Information of SVF 3” and SVF 3’s consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. Certain statements in this “SVF 3’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” are
forward-looking
statements that involve risks and uncertainties, such as statements regarding SVF 3’s plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. SVF 3’s future results and financial condition may differ materially from those currently anticipated as a result of the factors described under sections titled “Cautionary Statement Regarding
Forward-Looking
Statements” and “Risk Factors.” In this section, “we,” “us,” “our” and “the Company” refer to SVF 3 prior to the Business Combination and to Symbotic Inc., the
Post-Combination
Company, following the Business Combination.
Overview
We are a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on December 11, 2020. We were formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. We are an emerging growth company and, as such, we are subject to all of the risks associated with emerging growth companies.
Our sponsor is SVF Sponsor III (DE) LLC, a Delaware limited liability company. The registration statement for the SVF 3 IPO was declared effective on March 8, 2021. On March 11, 2021, we consummated our initial public offering of 32,000,000 Public Shares, including the 4,000,000 Public Shares as a result of the underwriters’ full exercise of their over-allotment option, at an offering price of $10.00 per Public Share, generating gross proceeds of $320.0 million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $18.1 million, of which approximately $11.2 million was for deferred underwriting commissions. On April 22, 2021, the underwriters made a payment to us in an amount of $640,000 to reimburse certain of our expenses in connection with this offering.
Simultaneously with the closing of the SVF 3 IPO, we consummated the Private Placement of 1,040,000 Private Placement Shares, at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Share to the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of $10.4 million.
Upon the closing of the SVF 3 IPO, management agreed that an amount equal to at least $10.00 per Public Share sold in the Initial Public Offering, including the proceeds of the Private Placement Shares, will be held in the Trust Account with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee and invested in United States “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or the Investment Company Act, having a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations, as determined by us, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a SVF Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account as described below.
Our management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the SVF 3 IPO and the sale of Private Placement Shares, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a SVF Business Combination. The SVF Business Combination must be with one or more operating businesses or assets with a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the net assets held in the Trust Account (excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on the interest earned on the Trust Account) at the time we sign a definitive agreement in connection with the SVF Business Combination.
However, we will only complete a SVF 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
159

Table of Contents
interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act.
If we are unable to complete a SVF Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the SVF 3 IPO, or March 11, 2023, 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 fund Regulatory Withdrawals (as defined in the Articles), subject to an annual limit of $250,000, for a maximum of 24 months and/or to pay income taxes, if any (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of the then-outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Public Shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any); and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining shareholders and the board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii), to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.
Liquidity and Going Concern
As of March 31, 2022, we had approximately $3.3 million in its operating bank account and working capital deficit of approximately $4.7 million.
Prior to the completion of the SVF 3 IPO, our liquidity needs were satisfied through the payment by our Sponsor of $25,000 for certain offering costs on our behalf in exchange for the issuance of the Founder Shares, and borrowings under our promissory note with our Sponsor of $300,000 as well as additional advances of approximately $114,000. Subsequent to the consummation of the SVF 3 IPO and Private Placement, our liquidity needs will be satisfied with the proceeds from the consummation of the Private Placement not held in the Trust Account. In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a SVF Business Combination, the Sponsor may, but is not obligated to, provide the Company Working Capital Loans. As of December 31, 2021, there were no amounts outstanding under any Working Capital Loans. On August 10, 2021 our Sponsor agreed to loan us $2.0 million as the Working Capital Loan. On November 9, 2021 we agreed with our Sponsor to amend this loan to increase the commitment by $1.0 million. As of March 31, 2022 there was $3.0 million drawn on the Working Capital Loan.
In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations if the Company is unable to complete a SVF Business Combination with 24 months from closing of the SVF 3 IPO, or March 11, 2023, in accordance with FASB 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 mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of time which is considered to be one year from the issuance of these consolidated financial statements. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after March 11, 2023. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustment that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
Risks and Uncertainties
Management continues to evaluate the impact of
the COVID-19 pandemic
on the industry and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the virus could have a negative effect on our financial position, results of our operations and/or search for a target company, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of March 31, 2022. Our financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2022 do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Results of Operations
Our entire activity since inception up to March 11, 2021 was in preparation for our formation and the SVF 3 IPO, and since the SVF 3 IPO, our activity has been limited to the search for a prospective SVF Business Combination. We will not be generating any operating revenues until the closing and completion of the SVF Business Combination. We generate non-operating income in the form of investment income from our investments held in the Trust Account. 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.
For the three months ended March 31, 2022, we had net loss of approximately $2.3 million, which consisted of approximately $2.3 million in general and administrative expenses, including $30,000 of general and administrative expenses to related party, partly offset by approximately $27,000 in income from investments held in the Trust Account.
For the three months ended March 31, 2021, we had net loss of approximately $524,000, which consisted of approximately $508,000 in general and administrative expenses, including $17,000 of general and administrative expenses to related party, partly offset by approximately $1,000 in income from investments held in the Trust Account.
Contractual Obligations
Administrative Services Agreement
We incurred $30,000 and $10,000 in such fees included as general and administrative expenses to related party on the accompanying condensed statements of operations for three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. As of March 31, 2022, $130,000 is due to the Sponsor and is included in due to related party on the accompanying condensed balance sheets. As December 31, 2021, $100,000 was due to the Sponsor and was included in the due to related party on the accompanying condensed balance sheets.
In addition, our Sponsor, officers and directors, or their respective affiliates will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on our behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable Business Combinations. Our audit committee will review on a quarterly basis all payments that were made by us to our Sponsor, executive officers or directors, or their affiliates. Any such payments prior to an initial Business Combination will be made using funds held outside the Trust Account.
In addition to the administrative services agreement fee of $130,000 and $100,000 (as noted above) approximately $867,000, and $459,000 is due to the Sponsor’s affiliates for reimbursements of expenses and is included in due to related party on the accompanying condensed balance sheets as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.
Registration and Shareholder Rights Agreement
The holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Shares, and any shares that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans (and any Class A ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of the Founder Shares) were entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration and shareholder rights agreement signed upon the effective date of the Initial Public Offering. The holders of these securities were entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company registers such securities. In addition, the holders had certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of the initial Business Combination. We will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Table of Contents
Underwriting Agreement
We have granted the underwriters a 45-day option from the date of the prospectus to purchase up to 4,000,000 additional shares at the Initial Public Offering price less the underwriting discounts and commissions.
The underwriters fully exercised the over-allotment option on March 11, 2021. The underwriters were entitled to an underwriting discount of $0.20 per unit, or $6.4 million in the aggregate, paid upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering. In addition, $0.35 per unit, or approximately $11.2 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. On April 22, 2021, the underwriters made a payment to us in an amount of $640,000 to reimburse certain of the expenses in connection with our Initial Public Offering.
Forward Purchase Agreement
The Company entered into a forward purchase agreement (a “Forward Purchase Agreement”) with SVF II SPAC Investment 3 (DE) LLC (the “Forward Purchase Investor”), which provides for the purchase of $150 million forward purchase shares (the “Forward Purchase Shares”), for $10.00 per share, in a private placement to close substantially concurrently with the closing of the initial Business Combination. The Forward Purchase Agreement also provides that the Forward Purchase Investor may elect to purchase up to an additional $50 million of Forward Purchase Shares, for a purchase price of $10.00 per share. Any elections to purchase up to 5,000,000 additional Forward Purchase Shares will take place in one or more private placements in such amounts and at such time as the Forward Purchase Investor determine, but no later than simultaneously with the closing of the initial Business Combination. The Company and the Forward Purchase Investor may determine, by mutual agreement, to increase the number of additional Forward Purchase Shares at any time prior to the initial Business Combination. The obligations under the Forward Purchase Agreement do not depend on whether any Class A ordinary shares are redeemed by the Public Shareholders. The forward purchase securities will be issued only in connection with the closing of the initial Business Combination. The proceeds from the sale of forward purchase securities may be used as part of the consideration to the sellers in the initial Business Combination, expenses in connection with the initial Business Combination or for working capital in the post-transaction company. On March 23, 2022, the Forward Purchase Investor elected to purchase an additional $50 million of Forward Purchase Shares, for a purchase price of $10.00 per share, subject to and on the terms set out in such election and the Forward Purchase Agreement.
Critical Accounting Policies
Investments Held in Trust Account
Our portfolio of investments is comprised solely of 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 investments in money market funds that invest in U.S. government securities and generally have a readily determinable fair value, or a combination thereof. Our investments held in the Trust Account are classified as trading securities. When our investments held in the Trust Account are comprised of money market funds, the investments are recognized at fair value. Trading securities and investments in money market funds are presented on the balance sheets at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value of these securities is included in income from investments held in Trust Account in the accompanying audited statements of operations. The estimated fair values of investments held in the Trust Account are determined using available market information.
Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption
We account for our Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480
162

Table of Contents
“Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Class A ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as liability instruments and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable Class A ordinary shares (including Class A ordinary shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within our control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, Class A ordinary shares are classified as shareholders’ equity (deficit). Our Class A ordinary shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of our control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, at the SVF 3 IPO, 32,000,000 Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are presented as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ equity (deficit) section of our balance sheets included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.
The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of the Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Effective with the closing of the SVF 3 IPO, we recognized the accretion from initial book value to redemption amount value. The change in the carrying value of redeemable shares of Class A ordinary shares resulted in charges against
additional paid-in
capital and accumulated deficit.
Net Loss per Ordinary Share
We comply with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” Income and losses are shared pro rata between Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption and non-redeemable ordinary shares. Net loss per ordinary share is calculated by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the respective period. Non-redeemable ordinary shares include Founder Shares and Private Placement Shares as these shares do not have any redemption features. Diluted net loss per share is the same as basic net loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.
Accretion associated with the redeemable Class A ordinary shares is excluded from earnings per share as the redemption value approximates fair value.

Our management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of March 31, 2022 we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K and did not have any commitments or contractual obligations.
JOBS Act
The JOBS Act contains provisions that, among other things, relax certain reporting requirements for qualifying public companies. We qualify as an “emerging growth company” and under the JOBS Act are 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 a result, our consolidated financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.

Additionally, we are in the process of evaluating the benefits of relying on the other reduced reporting requirements provided by the JOBS Act. Subject to certain conditions set forth in the JOBS Act, if, as an “emerging growth company,” we choose to rely on such exemptions we may not be required to, among other things, (i) provide an auditor’s attestation report on our system of internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404, (ii) provide all of the compensation disclosure that may be required of non-emerging growth public companies under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, (iii) comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the PCAOB regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (auditor discussion and analysis) and (iv) disclose certain executive compensation related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the CEO’s compensation to median employee compensation. These exemptions will apply for a period of five years following the completion of the SVF 3 IPO or until we are no longer an “emerging growth company,” whichever is earlier.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information otherwise required under this item.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS
AND MANAGEMENT OF SVF 3 AND THE
POST-COMBINATION
COMPANY
The following tables and accompanying footnotes set forth information known to SVF 3 regarding (i) the actual beneficial ownership of SVF 3’s Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares, as of May 23, 2022 and (ii) expected beneficial ownership of the
Post-Combination
Company immediately following consummation of the Business Combination, assuming No Redemptions, 50% of the Public Shares of SVF 3 are redeemed, and alternatively that 31,887,500 Public Shares of SVF 3 are redeemed, by:

| • |  | each person who is, or is expected to be, the beneficial owner of more than 5% of any class of the outstanding ordinary shares/common stock of SVF 3 or the Post-Combination Company, as applicable;

| • |  | each of SVF 3’s current directors and named executive officers;

| • |  | each person who will become a director or named executive officer of the Post-Combination Company; and

| • |  | all directors and officers of SVF 3, as a group, and of the Post-Combination Company, as a group.

The beneficial ownership of SVF 3’s ordinary shares is based on 33,040,000 Class A ordinary shares issued and outstanding and 8,000,000 Class B ordinary shares issued and outstanding as of May 23, 2022. In computing the number of ordinary shares beneficially owned by a person and the percentage ownership of such person, SVF 3 deemed to be outstanding all ordinary shares subject to vesting and options held by the person that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of May 23, 2022. SVF 3 did not deem such shares outstanding, however, for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person.
The expected beneficial ownership of shares of the
Post-Combination
Company’s common stock, assuming no Public Shares of SVF 3 are redeemed, has been determined based upon the following: (i) no Public Shareholder has exercised its redemption rights to receive cash from SVF 3’s Trust Account in exchange for its Public Shares and SVF 3 has not issued any additional shares of its Class A ordinary shares; (ii) 20,500,000 shares of the Post-Combination Company’s Class A common stock have been issued in pursuant to the Subscription Agreements; (iii) the Forward Purchase Investor will purchase 20,000,000 Forward Purchase Shares; (iv) 200,000 private placement shares are issued upon the conversion of Working Capital Loans; (v) there will be an aggregate of 78,124,000 shares of the
Post-Combination
Company’s Class A common stock issued and outstanding at the closing of the Business Combination (not including 3,616,000 shares of the
Post-Combination
Company’s Class A common stock subject to vesting requirements pursuant to the Sponsor Letter Agreement) and (vi) no additional Warehouse Units are issued prior to the Closing, 60,844,573 shares of the
Post-Combination
Company’s
Class V-1
common stock issued and outstanding at the closing of the Business Combination and 416,933,024 shares of the
Post-Combination
Company’s
Class V-3
common stock issued and outstanding at the closing of the Business Combination.
The expected beneficial ownership of shares of the
Post-Combination
Company’s common stock, assuming 50% of the Public Shares of SVF 3 have been redeemed (“Intermediate Redemptions”), has been determined based on the following: (i) Public Shareholders have exercised their redemption rights with respect to approximately 16,000,000 of SVF 3’s Class A ordinary shares; (ii) 20,500,000 shares of Class A common stock have been issued in pursuant to the Subscription Agreements; (iii) the Forward Purchase Investor will purchase 20,000,000 Forward Purchase Shares; (iv) 200,000 private placement shares are issued upon the conversion of Working Capital Loans; (v) there will be an aggregate of 62,124,000 shares of the
Post-Combination
Company’s Class A common stock issued and outstanding at the closing of the Business Combination (not including 3,616,000 shares of the
Post-Combination
Company’s Class A common stock subject to vesting requirements pursuant to the Sponsor Letter Agreement) and (vi) no additional Warehouse Units are issued prior to the Closing, 60,844,573 shares of the
Post-Combination
Company’s
Class V-1
common stock issued and outstanding at the closing of the Business Combination and 416,933,024 shares of the
Post-Combination

INFORMATION ABOUT SYMBOTIC
Unless the context otherwise requires, all references in this section to “we,” “us,” “our,” or “Symbotic” refer to the business of Warehouse Technologies LLC and its subsidiaries prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, which will be the business of the Post-Combination Company after the consummation of the Business Combination.
Company Overview
At Symbotic, our vision is to make the supply chain work better for everyone. We do this by developing, commercializing, and deploying innovative,
end-to-end
technology solutions that dramatically improve supply chain operations. We currently automate the processing of pallets and cases in large warehouses or distribution centers for some of the largest retail companies in the world. Our systems enhance operations at the front end of the supply chain, and therefore benefit all supply partners further down the chain, irrespective of fulfillment strategy.
Symbotic was established in December 2006 by our founder, Richard B. Cohen, to develop technologies to improve operating efficiencies in modern warehouses. Over the past 15 years, Mr. Cohen has invested over $700 million in developing the Symbotic platform and related applications, to create complete systems with the ability to fundamentally change how the supply chain functions. Symbotic’s intellectual property is protected by a portfolio of over 400 issued and/or pending patents.
Our revolutionary platform accelerates the movement of goods through the supply chain, improves SKU agility, fulfills orders with 99.9999% accuracy and does this all with less inventory and operating cost. The underlying architecture of our platform and applications differentiates our system from everyone else in the marketplace. The system uses high-speed, fully autonomous mobile robots that travel up to 25 miles-per-hour (mph), controlled by our A.I.-enabled system software, to move goods through our proprietary buffering structure.
Proprietary modular applications such as our inbound atomizing and outbound palletizing applications plug into to the Symbotic platform to achieve compelling, real world supply chain improvements at scale. Adding other Symbotic modular applications under development will allow our customers to support all omni-channel strategies, such as brick and mortar retail and
e-commerce
with
in-store
pickup or home delivery, from a single centralized warehouse/fulfillment facility.
Our systems vary in size and price. Systems can be as small as a single football field sized footprint (48,000 square feet) serving 25 or more stores and can scale to meet the needs of the world’s largest retailers. Our platform’s modular design and greater storage density enables installation in existing, and active warehouses, with limited interruption to ongoing operations.
Symbotic systems atomize inbound freight (divide it to a common unit), from
pallets-to-cases
and
cases-to-items
(currently in development), digitize the attributes of these units without
re-labeling,
and move the units to buffering in their original (or native) packaging with bottom lift technology on our autonomous mobile robots instead of re-transferring goods to trays, shuttles, or cranes. As the distribution center receives replenishment orders from stores, our autonomous robots retrieve the desired units in specified sequence to facilitate orderly fulfillment.
Fulfillment often incorporates our automated pallet-building application. This application builds pallets with goods ordered specific to a given store and store aisle to facilitate rapid and sequential provisioning of the goods from the pallets to a specific store’s shelves (known as store
plan-o-grammed
pallets). The application also builds the pallets with improved structural integrity, which in turn leads to denser, taller pallets that improve truck packing density while reducing product damage.

We believe that the global supply chain has reached a point of critical stress, driving an inflection in demand for warehouse automation across all industries. As the labor force shifts toward an older, more highly educated demographic, the warehouse labor pool is shrinking and becoming more expensive, while most well-located distribution centers are either operating manually or utilizing outdated, static mechanized conveyor systems. The dramatic growth in
e-commerce
has increased supply chain complexity by putting pressure on retailers to support multiple sales channels and orders of individual items in addition to cases and pallets. Meanwhile, consumer expectations have evolved to demand a larger variety of items to be delivered quickly and seamlessly. This has placed significant strain on the traditional supply chain and the people who support it. We help our customers to thrive in this increasingly challenging environment.
Our systems are actively deployed in the warehouses of a number of the world’s largest retailers including Walmart, Albertsons, Target, Giant Tiger and C&S Wholesale Grocers, which is one of the largest grocery wholesalers in the United States and an affiliate of Symbotic. We have spent significant time working closely with our customers to develop, test, and refine our technology, and our success has translated into a $5.4 billion contracted backlog to deliver systems from 2022 through 2028.
We believe the potential market opportunity for our systems is large and expanding. We are initially targeting the ten largest brick-and-mortar companies across five verticals: general merchandise, ambient grocery, ambient food distribution, consumer packaged food, and apparel. Based on identified North American warehouses of the ten largest companies in each of these five verticals, we believe that our strategically addressed market opportunity is approximately $126 billion. When considering deeper penetration in our initial verticals, adding additional adjacent verticals, and entering the European market, our total addressable market increases to $373 billion.
Industry Background
First Principles of the Supply Chain
The first principles of the supply chain are to align three mismatches that arise between producers and users of goods in a cost-effective manner. These three mismatches relate to the quantity, timing and location of goods and arise because a small number of producers concentrate resources to serve many consumers in the pursuit of economies of scale.
The first mismatch relates to the quantity of goods, as a relatively small number of producers generate a greater quantity of goods than any single consumer desires. The supply chain aligns this mismatch by “atomizing” (dividing into a common unit) production quantities into quantities desired by consumers, meaning pallets are atomized into cases, and then cases into individual items (known as “eaches”).
The second mismatch relates to the timing of when goods are produced versus needed. Producers generate goods continuously, but end users purchase and consume goods at a much slower or cyclical rate. This mismatch is aligned by what is known as “buffering” (storing goods in inventory), achieving an effect between producer and user that is like the way a water reservoir manages variation between precipitation and household water consumption.
Location is the final mismatch, as goods are needed at the point of consumption rather than the point of production. Thus, movement of goods is a critical function of the supply chain.
Types of Warehouses
Modern warehouses are a node in the supply chain where atomizing, buffering and movement activities align these mismatches. Two common types of warehouses are distribution centers and e-commerce fulfillment centers. Finished goods from manufacturers almost always enter the supply chain packaged in either pallets or
172

cases, and flow downstream to end users. Since our systems automate
pallet-to-case
activities up stream in the supply chain, our systems benefit all downstream users throughout the supply chain. With this advantage, and because the majority of supply chain cost resides in the distribution center, it is easier to integrate systems downstream, rather than upstream (see “
Our Competitive Strengths
”).

Current supply chain operations are generally manual, inflexible, expensive, require significant investments in inventory, and require goods to be manually handled multiple times before being shipped to stores or consumers. The supply chain is expensive because it tends to be slow, labor intensive and leads to significant damage and waste. In a typical supply chain operation,
single-SKU
pallets are delivered to a distribution center where hundreds, or thousands, of people are required to move and store pallets of goods, select individual cases from them, combine those individual cases into either store-ready pallets or, in the case of
e-commerce
fulfillment, unpack those cases so that individual items can be stored in totes or other storage structures before selecting and combining individual items for individual customer order fulfillment. Even mechanized warehouses require significant human intervention, are very inflexible and face disruption from numerous single points of failure. These factors contribute to high maintenance costs and damage, resulting in limited total cost savings.
Retail and Supply Chain Trends
Several trends within the retail industry and the supply chains that serve them have exacerbated the costs and inflexibility of today’s supply chains:

| • |  | Labor Scarcity and Cost— As the labor force matures and becomes more highly educated, warehouse labor is becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. According to InsightQuote’s 2021 Warehousing & Fulfillment Costs & Pricing Survey, average salaries for warehouse management increased to nearly $56,000 in 2021, up 18% from approximately $47,500 in 2017, and average wages for warehouse staff in the U.S. increased to $14.00 per hour in 2021, up 22% from $11.44 per hour in 2017. Transportation, warehousing and utilities employment turnover increased 48% from 2016 to 2020, compared to a 35% increase for all workers during the same timeframe, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

| • |  | Omni-Channel Strategies —As online shopping has become more popular with consumers, brick-and-mortar retailers must support multiple distribution channels: traditional brick-and-mortar, online with home delivery, buy online pick up in store (BOPIS), as well as support for channel-related reverse logistics. Not only does the growth of distribution channels increase complexity, but the e-commerce channel itself is more complex than traditional brick-and-mortar because of the need to deliver a continuously changing and increasingly diverse range of items to a broader range of locations, faster and in an increasing variety of ways.

| • |  | Growing Consumer Expectations and SKU Proliferation —The internet has made the world’s goods available to more consumers, so now shoppers expect retailers to offer increased product diversity. At the same time, manufacturers continue to adopt mass personalization product strategies, adding to a growing number of new SKUs and accelerating the frequency and speed of SKU transitions. These

173

Table of Contents

| trends require retailers to find a way to efficiently store, handle, and make available a wider variety of SKUs while managing seasonal and geographic variability. This requires either a greater number of specialized supply chain processes or greater flexibility of existing processes.

Existing warehouse automation systems are largely engineered to solve single challenges in the supply chain with discrete applicability focused on a particular niche in the warehouse automation value chain (for example, specific pick and pack / e-commerce fulfillment robotics) or are older manufacturing technologies that serve to automate high-volume, lower-value repetitive tasks (such as conveyer belts and sensors). We believe the Symbotic system is unique in its ability to serve as a comprehensive
end-to-end
warehouse automation system.
Advances in Core Technologies
We benefit from advances in robotics, sensors, visual systems, processing power, machine learning and artificial intelligence that have been developed and commercialized over the last decade. For example, we are beneficiaries of the tens of billions of dollars that have been invested in attempts to advance autonomous vehicle technology.
Symbotic Platform Overview
Reasoning from first principles, we have
re-conceived
the purpose and needs of the supply chain. From that perspective, we have completely
re-designed
and
re-engineered
the warehouse, unencumbered by legacy thinking and the resulting narrowly targeted technologies aimed at reducing fragments of cost in the warehouse.
Our systems manage every aspect of warehouse logistics, from the time merchandise is
off-loaded
from a producer’s truck or container until that merchandise is ready to be delivered to a store,
pick-up
location or individual. Our platform has an approximate useful life of 25 to 30 years and is so space efficient that it can be installed in phases in operating distribution centers with minimal impact to operations. The platform is composed of atomizing robotics, a buffering structure, autonomous mobile robots that handle product, robotic palletizing cells and software that coordinates and optimizes the movements of all these systems to maximize the throughput of goods while reducing cost of the system.
Unique Platform Architecture
174

Table of Contents
Our innovative platform architecture differentiates our system from alternative warehouse systems. Eight pillars of that architecture combine synergistically to deliver the benefits of our systems. Those pillars are:

| • |  | A.I.-Powered Software : Our platform is enhanced by our A.I.-powered autonomous hardware and system software.

| • |  | Atomizing : Atomizing goods is the process of dividing quantities of goods to the lowest common fulfillment unit ( e.g. , from pallets-to-cases and cases-to-items). Our platform atomizes incoming pallets to the case level and handles those original (or “native”) cases throughout our system. We are prototyping the ability to atomize cases to the item level to handle toted items in our platform just like we currently handle cases which would allow both cases and toted items to be integrated into a single platform. Competing warehouse systems handle pallets and more frequently partial pallets of goods. Pallets and partial pallets represent an increased level of on hand inventory and partial pallets leave unused volume within the warehouse. Volume adds expense because it has its own cost and because volume adds movement distance, slowing down the transport of goods through the supply chain. By managing goods at the case and toted item level, rather than at the pallet level, our systems remove unused space from the distribution center, allowing merchandise to be stored more densely and increasing the speed of product throughput. These space saving efforts are increased by the storage density of our platform, which allows us to retrofit our systems into our customers’ existing warehouse operations without interrupting ongoing supply chain operations or requiring capital to build new greenfield warehouse space.

| • |  | Randomizing : Our platform function is analogous to that of a random-access computer hard drive. By effectively “digitizing” each individual case and toted item and spreading them throughout the buffering structure, we create optionality for our picking and routing optimization algorithms. Merchandise is opportunistically placed throughout the buffering structure, similar to the way a random-access hard drive handles data. This minimizes movement to increase throughput, enhance SKU agility and reduce the number of autonomous mobile robots required to distribute product.

| • |  | Autonomous Movement : Fully autonomous mobile robots allow our systems to have superior flexibility, speed, mobility and inventory handling capabilities. Like fully autonomous cars operating in a smart city, our robots operate independently but act collectively to transport, sequence, and move cases through a warehouse. Our algorithms consider robot proximity, travel distance and other factors to solve for optimal overall performance while dynamically adjusting as anomalies arise. In addition, because each robot can travel anywhere in a two-dimensional plane and moves like a car that can make radius turns, our robots are comparatively fast, traveling up to 25 miles-per-hour (mph). Faster movement enhances throughput and efficiency by clearing aisles more quickly and allowing for more storage and retrieval transactions per hour compared to tray, shuttle or crane-based systems. Finally, our use of automation and software means our systems can approach true “lights-out” operation (100% up-time with zero human intervention).

| • |  | Original (Native) Package Handling : In our current applications, we handle cases by lifting them from the bottom using an automated fork system. This approach allows our platform to manipulate a wide range of case sizes, types and weights in a variety of packaging formats. This allows our platform to handle and be configurable to a wider range of goods and verticals. Unlike some of our competitors, we do not handle goods with grippers, which can crush products, or suction cups, which can drop goods. We also do not transfer goods to standardized trays, eliminating this additional handling of goods. Instead, bottom-lift handling reduces case damage and system rejection rates, thereby decreasing waste and cost.

| • |  | End-to-End Integration : By being an integrated end-to-end system, we are able to comprehensively change a warehouse and a customer’s supply chain to maximize its efficiency.

| • |  | System-of-Systems Design : Our system-of-systems architecture philosophy eliminates single points of failure, enhancing system resiliency. Utilizing a redundant array of autonomous robots, lifts and inbound

| and outbound palletizing systems allows any part of our system to assume the task load of another system part, in the event any sub-system ever fails. In addition, our hardware and software systems are engineered for rapid serviceability utilizing field replaceable components wherever possible.

| • |  | Scalable Modularity : Our architecture is highly modular and scalable, allowing us to install our systems in existing warehouse facilities while achieving full performance benefits. We are also able to install our systems in phases, allowing the existing warehouse facility to continue to operate while the transition to our systems is underway. Finally, we can easily reconfigure and expand our systems to accommodate SKU proliferation as our customers’ needs and strategies evolve.

Platform Functional Flow Overview
Generally, manufacturers create their products in batches by SKU (Stock Keeping Unit, or individual type of item, like cans of chicken noodle soup). Manufacturers then aggregate and package the goods in manageable quantities for efficient and safe shipping. Usually, products are batched in cardboard or plastic cases. Cases may then be stacked on
4-foot
by
4-foot
pallets as high as safely possible and then shrink-wrapped so the pallets retain integrity while in transit and the goods can be transported without damage.
A pallet may commonly contain anywhere between 40 and 120 cases depending on the size and weight of the product inside and, therefore, could contain dozens to hundreds of individual items that will ultimately be sold to consumers. Some manufacturers produce homogeneous pallets with one SKU. Others may combine multiple SKUs on heterogeneous pallets if the cases are the same size and the manufacturer is able to do so efficiently in their production process.
Other products may be shipped
un-palletized
because a manufacturer does not produce or sell enough of one item to make full pallet shipping efficient. Products may also travel through the supply chain unpalletized because the goods have been combined with other products for more efficient shipping. This often happens for products coming from international destinations given the desire to fill a shipping container with multiple items and/or from multiple manufacturers to reduce overall shipping costs.
Un-palletized
products generally come stacked randomly in a truck trailer or shipping container.
Symbotic’s system can uniquely handle homogeneous and heterogeneous palletized and
un-palletized
products.

| • |  | Palletized Inbound : When palletized product reaches a warehouse, the pallets are placed into our automated system where our large de-palletizing robots use state of the art vision technology and our proprietary end-of-arm tools to pick up entire layers of product and transfer them to our “singulating” robots. Our singulating robots also use vision technology and other proprietary end-of-arm tools to orient each individual case optimally for storage and handling in the system’s buffering structure. The cases then enter the scan tunnel.

| • |  | Other Inbound : When unpalletized product reaches our system, the individual cases enter the scan tunnel just like palletized inbound product.

| • |  | Scan Tunnel : On the way to the buffering structure, each case proceeds through a short scan tunnel where we use vision technology and sensors to “digitize” the dimensions and attributes of each inbound case. Simultaneously, the system performs an integrity check of the case to screen for damage. Case damage can compromise the movement of the goods through our system, and it may indicate damaged product inside the case. Any case that our system determines is non-conforming or damaged is rejected by the system. An associate will either repair the case before re-induction into the system or reject the damaged goods.

| • |  | Buffering Structure : The buffering structure of our platform, where goods are placed, stored, and retrieved, is composed of a number of levels stacked on top of each other. Each level is approximately

176

Table of Contents

| three feet tall, allowing a typical thirty-two-foot-tall warehouse to have ten levels of storage for optimized space utilization. Each individual level has a transfer deck that spans the width of the structure and connects several dozen aisles that extend horizontally at a 90-degree angle from the transfer deck. This gives us approximately 200,000 linear feet of storage in our average sized platform. The levels are connected vertically by a series of lifts.

| • |  | Lifts : Upon exit from the scan tunnel, the case moves to a collection of lifts that function like a bank of elevators in a building. Simultaneously, our A.I.-enabled software determines the optimal randomized location in the structure for storage of that case. When a case reaches the lift to which it is assigned, the lift extends its finger lift system and picks up the case. The lift then brings the case to the appropriate level in the structure and places it onto a buffer shelf where the case will be picked up by a Symbot. The Symbot will then bring the case to the aisle storage position for that level.

| • |  | Symbots : Symbots are our fully autonomous mobile goods handling robots. They are powered by rapid-charging ultracapacitors, so charging takes a matter of seconds as the Symbots drive over charge plates integrated into the floor of the buffering structure. This eliminates the need for Symbots to come out of service for charging, allowing them to operate all day for weeks at a time. If required, an individual Symbot can be removed from the system by remote instruction when it needs maintenance. Our Symbots are interchangeable and hand off tasks to other Symbots in a live operating system without productivity loss should a Symbot need maintenance.

The Symbots lift each case from the bottom using fingers that extend under the case, rather than gripping and pulling, enabling case handling without the need to put them on trays. Trayless handling allows us to store cases randomly throughout our storage structure within five millimeters of another case.
The Symbot picks up a case from the lift and enters the transfer deck on its way to the appropriate aisle. The Symbots are routed by our proprietary artificial intelligence software to the aisle and location where a case is to be placed. Once in the appropriate aisle, the Symbot accelerates rapidly up to 25 mph towards the specific location where it has been instructed to place the case.
When the Symbot reaches the appropriate placement location it extends its finger lift system and places the case on the aisle position and is ready for its next task. In a typical size and configuration system, a Symbot can reach any location in our structure and return to our inbound or outbound cells in under four minutes.
Retrieving a case is simply the reverse process of placing a case.

| • |  | Outbound : Our outbound lifts retrieve cases delivered by Symbots and transfers them to the outbound level of the system. Our software utilizes the Symbots and lifts to sequence cases in an optimal order for outbound processing. A typical system creates what we call a “rainbow pallet” comprising a variety of different products and SKUs. Our system can also create a rainbow pallet based upon a customer’s store plan that contains products for a specific store aisle, which can be delivered directly from a truck to the end of an aisle so that store employees can unpack the cases from the pallet and replenish shelves quickly and reduce store labor costs.

| • |  | Palletizing : Our system uses AI-based software that enables us to palletize cases using two robotic arms on opposite sides of a pallet. These two robotic arms work together placing a case onto a pallet in less than three seconds.

Our Competitive Strengths
Our people, technologies, and experience, underpinned by decades of leadership in supply chain operations and innovation provide us with significant advantages over our competitors. Specifically, we benefit from the following competitive advantages:
Experienced,
Founder-Led
Leadership Team
Symbotic is a
founder-led
company. Our Chairman and significant shareholder, Richard B. Cohen, started Symbotic in 2006, to develop advanced technologies to make the supply chain work better for everyone. This vision was inspired by Mr. Cohen’s experiences building C&S Wholesale Grocers.
Mr. Cohen is an accomplished business builder, as evidenced by his helping lead sales growth at C&S Wholesale Grocers from $14 million in 1974 to $27 billion in 2018. Effectively running warehouse operations for the low margin grocery industry, Mr. Cohen has been building, running and innovating warehouses for two generations. We believe our Founder’s deep industry and operational expertise is a core competitive advantage for Symbotic.
Mr. Cohen has built a team of experienced board members and executives with a diverse range of technology expertise acquired at industry leading companies and institutions such as Flex, Fortna, IBM, Intuit, Manhattan Associates, MIT, Netezza, RealPage, SoftBank, Staples, Tesla and Walmart.
Unique Team Culture
Our team has harnessed first principles thinking to help us understand complex systems like supply chains and automation in simple, elemental ways. This approach unburdens our creativity from the constraints of legacy problem solving. First principles thinking also leads us to constantly question our established approaches to problems, freeing us to invent new technologies to improve the supply chain. Approximately half of the Symbotic team is composed of software, mechanical, electrical and systems engineers and scientists who have been conducting research and development focused on our core technology. As a result, we have developed or created a significant amount of intellectual property protecting our core technology, including a patent portfolio with over 400 patent filings.
First Mover Advantage with Differentiated Platform Architecture
We believe we have developed highly unique platform architecture utilizing fully autonomous robots, at scale and in real world supply chain applications. The advantages of this approach are so compelling, as quantifiably measured by performance data in real world applications, that we believe our approach can become the de facto standard approach for how warehouses operate.
Superior System Return on Investment
Because of the quantifiable metrics related to our platform, our systems can provide our customers with a rapid recovery of investment costs and a compelling return on investment.

• Superior Product Throughput : The high density of our platform, the optimized and randomized storage of our architecture, and the speed and agility of our autonomous mobile robots minimizes movement to increase throughput, enhancing SKU agility |  |

178

Table of Contents

and reducing the number of robots required to distribute product. • High Density System & Storage : Partial pallets represent an increased level of on hand inventory and leave unused volume within the warehouse. Volume adds expense because it has a storage cost and adds movement distance that slows down the movement of goods through the supply chain. By managing goods at the case and tote level, rather than at the pallet level, our systems remove unused space from the distribution center, store merchandise more densely and increase the speed of product throughput. |  |

| • |  | No Compromise Retrofit : The modularity and scalability of our systems allows us to install our systems in existing warehouse facilities while achieving full performance benefits. We are also able to install our systems in phases, allowing the warehouse facility to continue to operate while the transition to our system is underway. Finally, we can easily reconfigure and expand our systems to accommodate SKU proliferation as our customers’ needs and strategies evolve.

| • |  | Inventory Reduction & SKU Agility : The accuracy, throughput speed and density of our platform allow our customers to achieve a higher level of availability and a wider range of SKU variety with less inventory.

| • |  | Fulfillment Accuracy : Our digitization strategy, artificial intelligence enabled store/retrieve software and other automated systems contribute to the 99.9999% fulfillment accuracy of our platform.

| • |  | System Resilience : Our system-of-systems architecture philosophy eliminates single points of failure, enhancing system resiliency. Utilizing a redundant array of autonomous robots, lifts and inbound and outbound palletizing systems allows any part of our system to assume the task load of another system part, should any sub-system ever fail. In addition, our hardware and software systems are engineered for rapid serviceability utilizing field-replaceable components wherever possible.

| • |  | System Scalability : Our platform can be scaled to fit the needs of our customers and scale of their facilities. We are also able to install our systems in phases, allowing the warehouse facility to continue to operate while the transition to our systems is underway. Finally, we can easily reconfigure and expand our systems to accommodate SKU proliferation as our customers’ needs and strategies evolve.

Remaining Performance Obligations (“Backlog”)
As of September 25, 2021, Symbotic had a $5.4 billion backlog of orders from its customers, of which approximately 8% is expected to be recognized as revenue in the following twelve months.
The backlog is largely structured on a cost-plus fixed profit basis. This allows Symbotic to maintain its gross profit targets even in times of high inflation or supply chain related price increases. For example, in most cases rising integrated circuit chip costs or increases in steel prices are passed on to the customer, preserving Symbotic’s gross profit.
Our significant contracts do not contain termination for convenience clauses. Outside of insolvency, or specific change in control provisions, most of our backlog can only be terminated if Symbotic does not deliver
179

Table of Contents
the systems ordered at their defined performance standards, which we believe to be unlikely. In addition, because our systems significantly reduce our customers’ costs, contract termination by our customers would be costly and disruptive, enhancing our ability to retain our customers.
Backbone of Commerce
Our expertise has been established at the front end of the supply chain because our systems “handshake” directly with producers and manufacturers who are the first node in the supply chain. We describe our platform as the backbone of commerce, because with our optimized case handling capability, all downstream nodes in the supply chain benefit. This means our systems have a strategic level impact for our customers and are mission critical for daily operations, that we believe will result in high rates of customer retention.
We are also prototyping a full-scale, individual unit handling application, that can be integrated into our case handling platform, and be installed in the distribution center. We believe this capability is unique and will drive stronger supply-chain efficiency through reduced handling and the ability to buffer inventory at either the precise unit, or case count.
We believe our competitive positioning is highly differentiated because our upstream expertise facilitates our integration with other downstream applications, including our own in prototype development. Our systems reside upstream in the supply chain from systems for
e-commerce
fulfillment centers. Our competitors have not established automated case level buffering infrastructure or distribution center expertise, making their upstream integration significantly more challenging than our downstream integration.
Our Market Opportunity
We define our primary strategically addressed market as the total potential spend on our systems over the next 15 years for U.S. warehouses in the general merchandise, ambient grocery, ambient food distribution, consumer packaged food, and apparel verticals. We estimate the size of our initial strategically addressed market to be $126 billion based on the number of warehouses in each of those verticals, our estimates of the percent of warehouses in each vertical that are addressable (over 1,500), and the expected average price of our system and associated recurring revenue.
We estimate that there is an additional $112 billion in market opportunity from our secondary verticals
(non-food
consumer packaged goods, home improvement, auto parts, third-party logistics, and refrigerated and frozen foods), implying a $238 billion total addressable market in the United States.
Over time we plan to expand beyond our primary and secondary target verticals, into additional verticals such as pharmaceuticals and electronics. To capture the size of this broader market opportunity, we estimate the size of these additional verticals in the United States at an additional $51 billion (using the same methodology we use for our primary and secondary verticals).
We also plan to expand to Canada and Europe, so we define our total addressable market as our total U.S. market opportunity of $289 billion plus our market opportunity in Canada and Europe, which we estimate to be an additional $83 billion. This implies a total addressable market of $373 billion (over 6,500 distribution centers). To estimate our market opportunity in foreign countries, we currently exclude Asia, but for the remaining countries we assume the number of warehouses in each country relative to the number of warehouses in the U.S. is proportionate to their relative GDPs. We then multiply the resulting number of warehouses by our estimate for the percent of those warehouses that are addressable and by our estimate for the average price of our system and associated recurring revenue outside the U.S.

Our Growth Strategy
The key elements of our strategy for growth include the following:

| • |  | Further penetrate existing customers’ operations : Our existing customers are large companies, many of which have thousands of stores and hundreds of warehouses and distribution centers. Under our current contracts with these customers, we are fully converting a portion of these customers’ distribution centers in the United States. We fully expect that the value these customers receive in the contracted distribution centers will translate to winning full deployments at the remainder of their distribution centers and therefore, we expect to grow our market share.

| • |  | Win additional customers in existing verticals : Given the size of our primary serviceable addressable market relative to the size of our current customer base, there is significant room for us to expand within existing verticals. We have numerous other potential customers in various stages of the sales cycle and expect to win new customers in our existing verticals.

| • |  | Expand into new verticals : We believe that every vertical that involves the physical distribution of goods through a distribution center is a potential customer. We currently have the intention and technological capability to expand to the non-food consumer packaged goods, auto parts, and third-party logistics verticals. Additionally, as we build out our refrigerated and frozen capabilities, we intend to expand to the refrigerated and frozen foods verticals.

| • |  | Expand product offerings : We intend to expand our product suite to increase our potential value to existing customers and to attract new customers. For example, by building out our integrated item handling application, we can help our existing customers manage an increasing variety of SKUs and optimize their e-commerce operations. We can also increase our appeal to pure-play e-commerce retailers. Because our Symbotic platform is designed to integrate such third-party applications, we also are exploring opportunities to expand our product suite through partnerships, investments in companies and acquisitions. Finally, we are exploring new business models, specifically by adding reverse logistics and warehousing-as-a-service offerings. These future anticipated products are not included in our current support and maintenance arrangements.

| • |  | Geographic Expansion : Working with our existing customers and by adding new customers, we intend to expand our operations beyond the United States and Canada. We are currently evaluating opportunities in Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East.

Competition
Most of our target market currently relies on conventional manual and semi-mechanized systems that are labor intensive. There are several point solutions available in the market that automate certain components of the warehouse or distribution center, but few offer
end-to-end
systems. Those that do typically require a significant greenfield real estate investment.
Some point solutions such as specific
goods-to-people
robotics or pick and pack robotic arm solutions address only specific supply chain functions but do not maximize the efficiency of the supply chain as a whole. These solutions also must be integrated with other disparate technologies, which often comes at significant cost and time and adds latency to operations.
Those companies that do offer
end-to-end
systems, most notably Witron, Honeywell, Dematic, Vanderlande, SSI Schaefer and Swisslog, have systems that are composed of a disparate set of mechanically complex point solutions, with numerous single points of failure. These systems are challenging to implement and expensive to adapt to changing customer needs and SKU variation. Even these
end-to-end
mechanical systems require significant manual labor. They are frequently based on pallet and partial pallet storage techniques, requiring additional inventory and warehouse space.
181

Table of Contents
There are also systems such as Amazon Kiva, Exotec, Ocado, and AutoStore that focus exclusively on individual order fulfillment. We do not consider these to be direct competitors at present because we are focused initially on fulfillment to physical stores; however, they will potentially become partners or competitors as we expand into
e-commerce,
or if they expand to
brick-and-mortar
retail. Today, however, these four companies focus primarily on e-commerce, lack case picking technology, and therefore cannot support large retailers with both online and offline operations.
Customers
Customer Base
We have a strong blue chip customer base that includes some of the world’s largest retailers, including Walmart, Albertsons, Target and Giant Tiger, and our affiliate, C&S Wholesale Grocers, which is one of the country’s largest wholesaler grocers.
Since inception, our customers have ordered approximately $5.8 billion of systems from us, and as of September 25, 2021, we had orders of approximately $5.4 billion in backlog that we expect to deliver and install over the next seven years. A substantial majority of the $5.4 billion in backlog relates to the Walmart MAA.
Walmart
We have worked with Walmart since 2015 and entered into the initial Walmart MAA in 2017 and restated and amended that agreement in January 2019. On April 30, 2021, we amended the Walmart MAA to expand our commercial relationship with Walmart and the scope of the Walmart MAA to the implementation of systems, which for purposes of the Walmart MAA are apportioned into 80 “modules,” across 25 of Walmart’s 42 regional distribution centers. On May 20, 2022, we again amended and restated the Walmart MAA to further expand our commercial relationship with Walmart and the scope of the Walmart MAA to the implementation of 188 modules, 20 of which are contingent on the satisfaction of certain conditions described in the Walmart MAA, across all of Walmart’s 42 regional distribution centers. The amendment and restatement added an additional $6.1 billion to our backlog.
The implementation of the modules under the Walmart MAA began in 2021 and will continue based upon an agreed-upon timeline, subject to limited adjustment, with the implementation of all modules to begin by the end of 2028. For each module, Walmart pays us:

| • |  | the cost of implementation, including the cost of material and labor, plus a specified net profit amount;

| • |  | for software maintenance and support for a minimum of 15 years following preliminary acceptance of the module and with annual renewals thereafter; and

| • |  | for spare parts.

Walmart also pays us for operation services for modules installed in the first four buildings for an operation service period for each module that ends on the third anniversary of preliminary acceptance of the final module installed in a building.
The initial term of the Walmart MAA expires on May 20, 2034 with annual renewals of the term thereafter. At any time, either party may terminate the Walmart MAA in the event of insolvency of the other party or a material breach of the other party that has not been cured. Walmart may also terminate the Walmart MAA at any time if we fail to meet certain performance standards or undergo certain change of control transactions.
Pursuant to the Walmart MAA, we must provide Walmart notice in certain circumstances, including if we explore transactions other than the Business Combination that would reasonably be expected to result in a change of control or sale of 25% or more of the voting power of Symbotic. Such transactions are prohibited for specified
182

Table of Contents
time periods following such notice, and we must allow Walmart to participate on terms and conditions substantially similar to those of other third-party participants. We have also agreed to certain restrictions on our ability to sell or license our products and services to a specified company or its subsidiaries, affiliates or dedicated service providers.
On December 12, 2021, we entered into an Investment and Subscription Agreement (the “Investment and Subscription Agreement”) with Walmart. Pursuant to such agreement, in connection with the amendment and restatement of the Walmart MAA on May 20, 2022, Walmart exercised a warrant to purchase 267,281 units of Warehouse, or 3.7% of the total outstanding units of Warehouse as calculated following the exercise of the warrant and issuance of units thereunder, at an aggregate purchase price of $103,980,327. We also issued Walmart a new warrant to purchase 258,972 units of Warehouse, or 3.5% of the total outstanding units of Warehouse as calculated on a pro forma basis at the time of the issuance of the warrant, subject to customary adjustments, at an exercise price of $614.34 per unit, which is the estimated value of a unit of Warehouse on the date of the Merger Agreement based on the Exchange Ratio assuming one share of Class A common stock is $10.00.
Pursuant to the Investment and Subscription Agreement and as a result of the warrant exercise, subject to Walmart continuing to hold, after the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, a certain number of shares of common stock or equity interests convertible into shares of common stock of the Post-Combination Company, Walmart will have the right to designate a Walmart employee of a certain seniority level to attend all meetings of the Board in a nonvoting observer capacity, except in certain circumstances, including where such observer’s attendance may be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties to the Post-Combination Company or where such meetings may involve attorney-client privileged information, a conflict of interest between the Post-Combination Company and Walmart or information that the Post-Combination Company determines is competitively or commercially sensitive. Additionally, pursuant to the Investment and Subscription Agreement and subject to certain exceptions described therein, Walmart is subject to a standstill agreement that limits Walmart’s ability to pursue certain transactions with respect to Warehouse and the Post-Combination Company until the earlier of (i) December 12, 2025 and (ii) the later of (a) the date on which Walmart owns less than 5% of the fully diluted equity interests of Warehouse or, after the Closing, the Post-Combination Company and (b) the date that is six months after Walmart no longer has the board observer rights described above.
The Walmart MAA and Investment and Subscription Agreement have been filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this proxy statement/prospectus is a part.
Products
Our system is typically sold in three parts: the initial system sale, software subscription support services and operation services. The Symbotic system is a modular, highly configurable capital asset purchase that we sell to our customer in the year of deployment. Then over the remaining system life, which is typically 25 years, we charge a software subscription fee. Finally, we provide training and system operation until the customer assumes operational duties. Our typical deployment model is to install the system over a period of six to twelve months, operate the system for a limited time, and then transfer daily operation to the customer.
Omni-Channel Application
We are currently prototyping, in one of our customer’s operating distribution centers, an application that integrates an additional application for the Symbotic platform, called Omni-Channel. This application atomizes cases to the item level and handles totes filled with multiple items just like we handle native cases. This novel application creates an environment in which both cases and toted items can be handled and shipped from a single platform. We believe this provides a significant step forward in our ability to provide an integrated omni-channel platform.
183

Table of Contents
System deployments
Symbotic is an
end-to-end
automated system for product distribution at the heart of the supply chain. We have spent 15 years working at the confluence of product manufacturing and retail distribution to produce a fully automated system that allows more efficient handling, storage, selection, and transportation of goods once they are placed into the supply chain by manufacturers. We have accomplished this by combining “smart” software with “smart” hardware such as our autonomous mobile robots. The power of our system is that the components of the platform and applications work together in one
system-of-systems
to provide the results our customers experience.
Technologies
Our technologies fall into two categories: (1) platform and applications software; and (2) hardware, which includes firmware related to the operation of that hardware.
Software

| • |  | A.I.–Enabled Software : Our systems utilize artificial intelligence technologies in a variety of ways to dynamically achieve optimal performance and improve over time. For example, our platform can independently determine the best locations to buffer inventory in the structure to improve outbound efficiency. In addition, the software enables our autonomous robots to independently place and retrieve various sizes of packages with different package material, make corrections to account for product movement, and efficiently navigate through our platform to complete the system’s objectives in the shortest amount of time and at the lowest cost. Our software also dynamically responds to changes in inventory availability to fulfill customer orders on time.

By using machine learning and A.I. tools to process all the data our system is generating, our system is improved by the tasks it performs. This helps us to develop algorithmic innovations that further improve system performance over time.

| • |  | System Manager : The System Manager module of our software stack balances work across the inbound and outbound cells of our platform. It does this by managing inbound inventory and inventory levels in the buffering structure against fulfillment orders, optimized to fulfillment gate times. The System Manager module also creates the pallet build plan based on a variety of factors including the aforementioned inventory levels, but also store and aisle specific plan-o-grams, pallet structure and even more granular criteria such as isolating hazardous products that require special handling.

| • |  | Storage & Retrieval Engine : Our Storage and Retrieval Engine coordinates the mechanical components (or assets) within our platform such as our autonomous robots, buffer shelves and lifts. It also determines, orders, and assigns all the tasks to performed by the system. Finally, the engine manages the safety systems within the platform by monitoring physical access and related zonal lockouts.

The engine builds a put-away task list as goods are received that is based on a put-away optimization which determines the optimal placement of goods within the buffering structure. Simultaneously, the engine builds a retrieval task list based on fulfillment requests.
Next, the location and status of every platform asset and every case of goods is evaluated, and mobile robot routes are assigned to optimally perform all the put-away and retrieval tasks.
Since the flow of goods through our platform is highly dynamic and related parameters are constantly changing, the engine reoptimizes every task that needs to be completed multiple times per second. The re-optimization is based on the supply of goods on hand, the location of those goods and the assets available within the buffering structure. Tasks may then be reassigned, and the routes of the mobile robot recomputed.

| • |  | Real-Time Data Analytics Software : Our proprietary software aggregates and synthesizes system data to provide real-time analytics and actionable insights regarding inventory levels, system

184

Table of Contents

| throughput, accuracy, and performance. We also collect and analyze real-time data on various systems throughout the platform to evaluate system health, predict maintenance needs, and as a result maintain a high level of system performance.

Hardware

| • |  | Intelligent Autonomous Mobile Robots : Our intelligent, autonomous mobile robots utilize a suite of sensors to handle cases and locate, retrieve, and transport approximately 80% of the SKUs in our customers’ facilities at speeds of up to 25 mph (10 times faster than the average human) with 99.9999% accuracy. Our newest version of these robots uses vision technology in addition to our autonomous routing algorithms (described above) to achieve optimal speed, safety, and routing.

| • |  | A.I.-Powered De-Palletizing Robotic Systems : Our proprietary de-palletizing robotic end of arm tools, coupled with our A.I. and state-of-the-art vision enhanced robotic arms de-palletize up to 1,800 cases and 200 SKU layers per hour. In the de-palletization process, we scan each case to create a digital model of every case, including, among other things, its size, stability, and density that enables our A.I. software to optimize storage, retrieval and palletizing for distribution to stores based upon an individual case’s characteristics. Our software also analyzes the structural integrity of a case during the de-palletization process to understand whether it needs to be rejected or repaired rather than inducted into the system to improve system performance and optimize inventory in the system.

| • |  | A.I.-Powered Palletizing Robotic Systems : Using proprietary A.I.-powered software, state-of-the-art vision enhanced palletizing robotic arms and our patented end of arm tools we combine multiple SKUs into aisle-ready pallets that significantly reduce in-store labor costs for our brick-and-mortar customers while maximizing pallet capacity and throughput. Our palletizing robotic application uses two robots simultaneously to palletize product rapidly and efficiently.

Research and Development
Our technology is underpinned by over $700 million invested in developing the Symbotic platform, and is protected in part by over 400 issued and/or pending patents. Our engineers have extensive robotics and software experience and have been working on our product portfolio for over 15 years. We conduct our research and development in our headquarters, based in Wilmington, Massachusetts as well as at our Canadian headquarters in Montreal, Quebec.
Our research and development activities currently include programs in the following areas:

| • |  | Expand the capabilities and improve our technology : We aim to continuously advance our hardware and software development to offer better solutions to our customers that benefit their needs. Specifically, we intend to continue innovating our robust A.I.-enabled robots alongside our proprietary software to continue to help our customers optimize operational efficiency.

| • |  | Expand system offerings : As our existing customers’ needs shift and expand, we will be innovating, evolving and being flexible. We will continue to innovate our existing systems as well as introduce new offerings in specific areas for which we do not have a solution, such as tailoring our platform to handle non-ambient foods. This will not only allow us to deepen our penetration within existing customers, but also grow our customer base in adjacent applications.

Sales and Marketing
We go to market via a direct sales model. Given the size, complexity and value of our technology system, our sales to date have come from long-term discussions between our management team and senior-level executives with our current customers. We intend to accelerate our sales cycle as we begin to expand our marketing efforts and transition from a small number of very large transactions to more widespread adoption of our technology systems.

de-palletizing
and palletizing robotic cells. Both facilities use Oracle NetSuite for procurement, and to track & control production. Each factory is roughly 40,000 square feet in size and is staffed with a mix of permanent and temporary employees to manage peak production and can operate on two shifts. To increase production, we intend to increase utilization of our installed manufacturing capacity, as well as continue partnering with subcontractors to take on an increasing amount of production.
We purchase a variety of components from a variety of vendors to assemble our autonomous robots. We also purchase lifts, fixed place robots, conveyors, and steel racking equipment from a wide range of vendors to complete our systems.
Intellectual Property
Our ability to drive innovation in the robotics and A.I. automation markets depends in part upon our ability to protect our core technology and the intellectual property therein and thereto. We seek to protect our intellectual property rights in our core technology through a combination of patents, trademarks, copyrights, and trade secrets. This includes the use of
non-disclosure
and invention assignment agreements with our contractors and employees and the use of
non-disclosure agreements
with our customers, vendors, and business partners. Unpatented research, development,
know-how and
engineering skills make an important contribution to our business and core technology, but we pursue patent protection when we believe it is possible and consistent with our overall strategy for safeguarding our intellectual property. As of September 25, 2021, we had 275 issued patents in 10 countries and an additional 144 patents pending worldwide. Our issued patents are scheduled to expire between October 2021 and December 2040.
Employees and Human Capital Resources
Our employees are critical to our success. As of September 25, 2021, we had approximately 800
full-time employees,
including approximately 620 based in the United States. Approximately 55% of our employees work in our offices in Wilmington, Massachusetts and Montreal, Quebec. However, due to the nature of the
COVID-19
pandemic, many in our workforce have been and continue to work remotely. The remainder of our employees install, commission, operate or maintain our systems at customers’ facilities. We also engage consultants and contractors to supplement our permanent workforce on an as needed basis.
A significant proportion of our employees are engaged in engineering, research and development, and related functions. We have been investing in our people for over a decade and our team possesses decades of combined technical and engineering experience, with a majority of our full-time employees holding technical degrees and a substantial portion of our total employee base holding advanced degrees, including numerous PhDs in engineering.
We consider our relationship with our employees to be in good standing and have yet to experience any work stoppages. None of our employees are subject to a collective bargaining agreement or represented by a labor union.
Our human capital resources objectives include, as applicable, identifying, recruiting, retaining, incentivizing, and integrating our existing and additional employees. The principal purposes of our incentive plans are to attract, retain and motivate selected employees and consultants through cash and stock performance rewards and other benefits.
Facilities
Our corporate headquarters is in an approximately
sixty-six
thousand square foot facility that we lease in Wilmington, Massachusetts. The lease expires in May 2025, and we have the option to extend for an additional

Government Regulations
Compliance with various governmental regulations has an impact on our business, including our capital expenditures, earnings and competitive position, which can be material. We incur costs to monitor and take actions to comply with governmental regulations that are applicable to our business, which include, among others, laws, regulations and permitting requirements of federal, state and local authorities, including related to environmental, health and safety, anti-corruption and export controls.
Environmental Matters
We are subject to domestic and foreign environmental laws and regulations governing our operations, including, but not limited to, emissions into the air and water and the use, handling, disposal and remediation of hazardous substances. A certain risk of environmental liability is inherent in our production activities, operation of our systems and the disposal of our systems. These laws and regulations govern, among other things, the generation, use, storage, registration, handling and disposal of chemicals and waste materials, the presence of specified substances in electrical products, the emission and discharge of hazardous materials into the ground, air or water, the cleanup of contaminated sites, including any contamination that results from spills due to our failure to properly dispose of chemicals and other waste materials and the health and safety of our employees.
Export and Trade Matters
We are subject to anti-corruption laws and regulations imposed by governments around the world with jurisdiction over our operations, including the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, as well as the laws of the countries where we do business. We are also subject to various trade restrictions, including trade and economic sanctions and export controls, imposed by governments around the world with jurisdiction over our operations. For example, in accordance with trade sanctions administered by the U.S. Department of Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control and export controls administered by the U.S. Department of Commerce, we are prohibited from engaging in transactions involving certain persons and certain designated countries or territories, including Cuba, Iran, Syria, North Korea and the Crimea Region of Ukraine. In addition, our systems may be subject to export regulations that can involve significant compliance time and may add additional overhead cost to our systems. In recent years the United States government has a renewed focus on export matters. For example, the Export Control Reform Act of 2018 and regulatory guidance thereunder have imposed additional controls and may result in the imposition of further additional controls, on the export of certain “emerging and foundational technologies.” Our current and future systems may be subject to these heightened regulations, which could increase our compliance costs.
See “
Risk Factors—We are subject to U.S. and foreign anti-corruption and anti-money laundering laws and regulations and could face criminal liability and other serious consequences for violations, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations
” for additional information about the anti-corruption and anti-money laundering laws that may affect our business.

Legal Proceedings
We may be subject from time to time to various claims, lawsuits and other legal and administrative proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. Some of these claims, lawsuits and other proceedings may involve highly complex issues that are subject to substantial uncertainties, and could result in damages, fines, penalties,
non-monetary
sanctions or relief. We intend to recognize provisions for claims or pending litigation when we determine that an unfavorable outcome is probable, and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. Due to the inherent uncertain nature of litigation, the ultimate outcome or actual cost of settlement may materially vary from estimates.

SYMBOTIC’S MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto that appear elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. See “Risk Factors” elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus for a discussion of certain risks associated with our business. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements give our current expectations or forecasts of future events. You can identify these statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. The use of words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” and other words and terms of similar meaning in connection with any discussion of future operating or financial performance. From time to time, we also may provide forward-looking statements in other materials we release to the public. Unless the context otherwise requires, references in this “Symbotic’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” to “Symbotic,” “we,” “us,” “our” and the “Company” are intended to mean the business and operations of Symbotic.
Company Overview
We are a limited liability company that was established in December 2006 to develop technologies to improve operating efficiencies in modern warehouses. Symbotic LLC, a technology company that develops and commercializes innovative technologies for use within warehouse operations and Symbotic Group Holdings, ULC are wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company.
At Symbotic, our vision is to make the supply chain work better for everyone. We do this by developing, commercializing, and deploying innovative,
end-to-end
technology solutions that dramatically improve supply chain operations. We currently automate the processing of pallets and cases in large warehouses or distribution centers for some of the largest retail companies in the world. Our systems enhance operations at the front end of the supply chain, and therefore benefit all supply partners further down the chain, irrespective of fulfillment strategy.
The Symbotic platform is based on a unique approach to connecting producers of goods to end users, in a way that resolves the mismatches of quantity, timing and location that arise between the two, while reducing costs. The underlying architecture of our platform is what differentiates our solution from anything else in the marketplace. It utilizes fully autonomous robots, collectively controlled by our A.I.-enabled system software to achieve at scale, real world supply chain improvements that are so compelling that we believe our approach can become the de facto standard approach for how warehouses operate.
Key Components of Consolidated Statements of Operations
Revenue
We generate revenue through our design and installation of modular inventory management systems (the “Systems”) to automate customers’ depalletizing, storage, selection, and palletization warehousing processes. The Systems have both a hardware component and an embedded software component that enables the Systems to be programmed to operate within specific customer environments. We enter into contracts with customers that can include various combinations of services to design and install the Systems. These services are generally distinct and accounted for as separate performance obligations. As a result, each customer contract may contain multiple performance obligations. We determine whether performance obligations are distinct based on whether the customer can benefit from the product or service on its own or together with other resources that are readily available and whether our commitment to provide the services to the customer is separately identifiable from other obligations in the contract.
191

Table of Contents
We have identified the following distinct performance obligations in our contracts with customers:
Systems
: We design, assemble, and install modular hardware systems and perform configuration of embedded software. Systems include the delivery of hardware and an embedded software component, sold as either a perpetual or term-based
on-premise
license, that automate our customers’ depalletizing, storage, selection, and palletization warehousing processes. The modular hardware and embedded software are each not capable of being distinct because our customers cannot benefit from the hardware or software on their own. Accordingly, they are treated as a single performance obligation. Fees for Systems are typically either fixed or cost-plus fixed fee amounts that are due based on the achievement of a variety of milestones beginning at contract inception through final acceptance. The substantial majority of our embedded software component is sold as a perpetual on-premise license; however, we do sell an immaterial amount of term-based on-premise licenses.
Software subscriptions
: Software subscriptions refer to support services that provide our customers with technical support, updates, and upgrades to the embedded software license. Fees for the software subscription are typically payable in advance on a quarterly, or annual basis over the term of the software subscription service contract, which term can range from one to 15 years but, for a substantial majority of our software subscriptions, is 15 years.
Operation services
: We provide our customers with assistance operating the system and ensuring user experience is optimized for efficiency and effectiveness. Fees for operation services are typically invoiced to our customers on a time and materials basis monthly in arrears or using a fixed fee structure.
Cost of Revenue
Our cost of revenue is composed of the following for each of our distinct performance obligations:
Systems
: Systems cost of revenue consists primarily of material and labor consumed in the production and installation of customer Systems, as well as depreciation expense. For those Systems where control transfers upon final acceptance from the customer, Systems cost of revenue is generally capitalized as deferred costs and expensed upon customer final acceptance when revenue is recognized for the System. For all other Systems, for which revenue is recognized over time, Systems cost of revenue is expensed as incurred.
Software subscriptions
:
Cost of revenue attributable to software subscriptions primarily relates to labor cost for our maintenance team providing routine technical support, and maintenance updates and upgrades to our customers. Software subscriptions cost of revenue is expensed as incurred.
Operation services
:
Operation services cost of revenue consists primarily of labor cost for our operations team who is providing services to our customers to run their System within their distribution center. Operation services cost of revenue is expensed as incurred.
Research and Development
Costs incurred in the research and development of our products are expensed as incurred. Research and development costs include personnel, contracted services, materials, and indirect costs involved in the design and development of new products and services as well as depreciation expense.
Selling, General, and Administrative
Selling, general, and administrative expenses include all costs that are not directly related to satisfaction of customer contracts or research and development. Selling, general, and administrative expenses include items for our selling and administrative functions, such as sales, finance, legal, human resources, and information technology support. These functions include costs for items such as salaries and benefits and other personnel-related costs, maintenance and supplies, professional fees for external legal, accounting, and other consulting services, intangible asset amortization, and depreciation expense.
192

Table of Contents
Other Income, Net
Other income, net primarily consists of dividend and interest income earned on our money market accounts and the impact of foreign currency transaction gains and losses associated with monetary assets and liabilities.
Income Tax Benefit
The Company is a multimember limited liability company and is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal and state income tax purposes. Accordingly, we are not subject to U.S. federal income tax. Instead, our members are subject to U.S. federal income tax on their distributive share of our income, gains, and losses. Currently, we do not have nexus in any states in the U.S that have not adopted the U.S. federal entity classification rules. As such, we do not record a liability for state income taxes. Our Canadian entities, however, are subject to certain Canadian federal and provincial income taxes. Consequentially, income tax benefit consists of current and deferred taxes for our Canadian jurisdictions.
Results of Operations for the Three and Six Months Ended March 26, 2022 and March 27, 2021
The following tables set forth our results of operations for the periods presented and as a percentage of our total revenue for those periods. The data has been derived from the unaudited consolidated financial statements contained in this proxy statement/prospectus which include, in our opinion, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, that we consider necessary for a fair statement of the financial position and results of operations for the interim periods presented. The
period-to-period
comparison of financial results is not necessarily indicative of financial results to be achieved in future periods.

Year Ended September 26, 2020 Compared to the Year Ended September 28, 2019
Revenue

|  | Year Ended |  |  | Change |
|  | September 26, 2020 |  |  | September 28, 2019 |  |  | Amount |  |  | % |
|  | (dollars in thousands) |
Systems |  | $ | 70,818 |  |  | $ | 80,462 |  |  | $ | (9,644 | ) |  |  | (12 | %)
Software subscriptions |  |  | 2,614 |  |  |  | 2,348 |  |  |  | 266 |  |  |  | 11 |
Operation services |  |  | 18,654 |  |  |  | 17,313 |  |  |  | 1,341 |  |  |  | 8 |
Total revenue |  | $ | 92,086 |  |  | $ | 100,123 |  |  | $ | (8,037 | ) |  |  | (8 | %)

Systems revenue decreased during the year ended September 26, 2020 as compared to the year ended September 28, 2019 due to the timing of completion and acceptance of certain warehouse automation systems being greater in fiscal 2019 as compared to fiscal 2020.
The increase in operation services revenue and software subscriptions was a result of additional site operations, software maintenance, and spare parts revenue associated with the addition of new customer sites.
Gross Profit
The following table sets forth our gross profit for the years ended September 26, 2020 and September 28, 2019:

|  | Year Ended |  |  | Change |
|  | September 26, 2020 |  |  | September 28, 2019 |
|  | (in thousands) |
Systems |  | $ | (8,434 | ) |  | $ | (11,722 | ) |  | $ | 3,288 |
Software subscriptions |  |  | (1,067 | ) |  |  | (1,794 | ) |  |  | 727 |
Operation services |  |  | (9,429 | ) |  |  | (6,448 | ) |  |  | (2,981 | )
Total gross profit (loss) |  | $ | (18,930 | ) |  | $ | (19,964 | ) |  | $ | 1,034 |

For the year ended September 26, 2020, Systems gross profit increased $3.3 million from the previous
year-end
from $(11.7) million to $(8.4) million. The increase in Systems gross profit was due to lower costs to implement subsequent versions of our automation system in fiscal 2020 as compared to fiscal 2019.
For the year ended September 26, 2020, software subscriptions gross profit increased $0.7 million from the previous
year-end
from $(1.8) million to $(1.1) million. The increase in software subscriptions gross profit is attributable to adding new customers in the current year, while keeping our cost base relatively flat.
For the year ended September 26, 2020, operation services gross profit decreased $3.0 million from the previous
year-end
from $(6.4) million to $(9.4) million. The decrease in operation services gross profit resulted from the discontinuation of an operations agreement in fiscal year 2020.

Employee-related costs |  | $ | 3,673 |
Prototype-related costs, allocated overhead expenses, and other |  |  | 3,096 |
|  | $ | 6,769 |

Employee-related costs increased as a result of our 10% year over year headcount growth to our engineering team as we continue to grow our software and hardware engineering organizations to support the development of key projects such as next generation autonomous EV robots as well as continue to expand our A.I. and analytics capabilities. The remaining increase in research and development expenses is primarily attributable to an increase in prototype-related costs as we invest in making improvements to our warehouse automation system and autonomous bots.

Non-GAAP
Financial Measures
In addition to providing financial measurements based on generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, or GAAP, we provide additional financial metrics that are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, or
non-GAAP
financial measures. We use
non-GAAP
financial measures, in addition to GAAP financial measures, to understand and compare operating results across accounting periods, for financial and operational decision making, for planning and forecasting purposes, to measure executive compensation, and to evaluate our financial performance. These
non-GAAP
financial measures are
non-GAAP
net income,
non-GAAP
net income per share, and Adjusted EBITDA, as discussed below.
We believe that these
non-GAAP
financial measures reflect our ongoing business in a manner that allows for meaningful comparisons and analysis of trends in the business, as they facilitate comparing financial results across accounting periods and to those of peer companies. We also believe that these
non-GAAP
financial measures enable investors to evaluate our operating results and future prospects in the same manner as we do. These
non-GAAP
financial measures may exclude expenses and gains that may be unusual in nature, infrequent, or not reflective of our ongoing operating results.
The
non-GAAP
financial measures do not replace the presentation of our GAAP financial measures and should only be used as a supplement to, not as a substitute for, our financial results presented in accordance with GAAP.
The
non-GAAP
adjustments, and our basis for excluding them from
non-GAAP
financial measures, are outlined below:

| • |  | Unit-based compensation – Although unit-based compensation is an important aspect of the compensation paid to our employees, the grant date fair value varies based on the derived stock price at the time of grant, varying valuation methodologies, subjective assumptions, and the variety of award types. This makes the comparison of our current financial results to previous and future periods difficult to interpret; therefore, we believe it is useful to exclude unit-based compensation from our non-GAAP financial measures in order to highlight the performance of our business and to be consistent with the way many investors evaluate our performance and compare our operating results to peer companies.

| • |  | Amortization of acquired intangible assets – We have incurred amortization of intangible assets, included in our GAAP financial statements, related to our 2014 business acquisition. The amount of an acquisition’s purchase price allocated to intangible assets and term of its related amortization is unique to each acquisition; therefore, we exclude amortization of acquired intangible assets from our non-GAAP financial measures to provide investors with a consistent basis for comparing pre- and post-acquisition operating results.

206

Table of Contents

| • |  | Business combination transaction expenses – Business combination transaction expenses represents the expenses incurred solely related to the Business Combination with SVF 3. It primarily includes investment banker fees, legal fees, professional fees for accountants, transaction fees, advisory fees, due diligence costs, certain other professional fees, and other direct costs associated with strategic activities. These amounts are impacted by the timing and size of the acquisitions. We exclude acquisition-related costs from our non-GAAP financial measures to provide a useful comparison of our operating results to prior periods and to our peer companies because such amounts vary significantly based on the magnitude of our acquisition transactions and do not reflect our core operations.

We consider Adjusted EBITDA to be another important indicator of the operational strength and performance of our business and a good measure of our historical operating trends. Adjusted EBITDA eliminates items that we do not consider to be part of our core operations. We define Adjusted EBITDA as GAAP net loss excluding the following items: interest income; income taxes; depreciation and amortization of tangible and intangible assets; unit-based compensation; business combination transaction expenses; and other
non-recurring
items that may arise from time to time.

Operating Activities
Our net cash and cash equivalents provided by (used in) operating activities consists of net loss adjusted for certain
non-cash
items, including depreciation and amortization, foreign currency losses, losses on sale of assets, and deferred taxes, net, as well as changes in operating assets and liabilities. The primary changes in working capital items, such as the changes in accounts receivable and deferred revenue, result from the difference in timing of payments from our customers related to system installations and the associated costs incurred by us to fulfill the system installation performance obligation. This may result in an operating cash flow source or use for the period, depending on the timing of payments received as compared to the fulfillment of the system installation performance obligation.
Net cash used in operating activities was $62.9 million during the six months ended March 26, 2022. Net cash used in operating activities was due to our net loss of $53.0 million adjusted for non-cash items of $6.9 million, primarily consisting of $2.8 million depreciation and amortization and $4.1 million loss on abandonment of assets, offset by cash used in operating assets and liabilities of $16.8 million due to the timing of cash payments to vendors and cash receipts from customers.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $70.6 million during the six months ended March 27, 2021. Net cash provided by operating activities was due to our net loss of $53.1 million adjusted for non-cash items of $1.9 million, primarily consisting of $1.8 million depreciation and amortization, offset by cash provided by operating assets and liabilities of $121.8 million due to the timing of cash payments to vendors and cash receipts from customers.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $109.6 million during the year ended September 25, 2021. Net cash provided by operating activities was due to our net loss of $122.3 million adjusted for

Contractual Obligations and Commitments and Liquidity Outlook
We historically have been able to generate positive cash flow from operations, which has funded our operating activities and other cash requirements and has resulted in a cash balance of $259.0 million as of March 26, 2022 and $156.6 million as of September 25, 2021. Our cash requirements for the six months ended March 26, 2022 were primarily related to capital expenditures and inventory purchases in order to deliver to our customers our modular inventory management systems in an orderly manner in line with our installation timeline.

Table of Contents
Based on our present business plan, we expect our current cash and cash equivalents and our forecasted cash flows from operations to be sufficient to meet our foreseeable cash needs for at least the next 12 months. Our foreseeable cash needs, in addition to our recurring operating expenses, include our expected capital expenditures to support expansion of our infrastructure and workforce, leases for office space, and minimum contractual obligations.
Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including our growth rate, the timing and extent of spending to support research and development efforts, the expansion of sales and marketing activities, the introduction of new and enhanced product and service offerings, and the cost of any future acquisitions of technology or businesses. In the event that additional financing is required from outside sources, we may be unable to raise the funds on acceptable terms, if at all.
The following table summarizes our current and long-term material cash requirements as of March 26, 2022:

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based on our consolidated financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In preparing our financial statements, we make estimates, assumptions, and judgments that can have a significant impact on our reported revenue, results of operations, and net income or loss, as well as on the value of certain assets and liabilities on our balance sheet during and as of the reporting periods. These estimates, assumptions, and judgments are necessary because future events and their effects on our results and the value of our assets cannot be determined with certainty and are made based on our historical experience and on other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates may change as new events occur or additional information is obtained, and we may periodically be faced with uncertainties, the outcomes of which are not within our control and may not be known for a prolonged period of time. Because the use of estimates is inherent in the financial reporting process, actual results could differ from those estimates.
We believe that the assumptions and estimates associated with the following critical accounting policies involve significant judgment and thus have the most significant potential impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
Revenue Recognition
We generate revenue from the sale of products and services. A description of our revenue recognition policies is included in the Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.
Although most of our sales agreements contain standard terms and conditions, certain agreements contain multiple performance obligations or
non-standard
terms and conditions. For customer contracts that contain more than one performance obligation, we allocate the total transaction consideration to each performance obligation based on the relative stand-alone selling price of each performance obligation within the contract. We rely on
211

Table of Contents
either observable standalone sales or an expected cost plus a margin approach to determine the standalone selling price of offerings, depending on the nature of the performance obligation.
As we further discuss in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in the proxy statement/prospectus, for contracts with customers entered into during fiscal year 2021, revenue from the sales of our Systems is recognized over time as the asset created by our performance does not have alternative use to us and an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date is present. We recognize revenue as work progresses, using costs incurred to date relative to total estimated costs at completion. Incurred costs represent work performed, which correspond with and best depict transfer of control to the customer. Contract costs are incurred over a period of time, which can span multiple years, and the estimation of these costs requires management’s judgement. Due to the nature of the work required to be performed on the Systems and our reliance on the availability and cost of materials required to be procured from third party vendors to build our Systems, the estimation of total revenue and cost at completion is complex, subject to many variables, and requires significant judgment on a
contract-by-contract
basis. As part of this process, we review information including, but not limited to, any outstanding key contract matters, progress towards completion and the related program schedule, identified risks and opportunities and the related changes in estimates of revenue and costs. The risks and opportunities relate to our judgment about the installation delays or performance issues that may or may not be within our control. Risks and opportunities may also relate to supply chain trends and commodity pricing, as well as changes in foreign currencies. Changes in estimates of net sales, cost of sales, and the related impact to operating profit are recognized on a cumulative
catch-up
basis, which recognizes the cumulative effect of the profit changes on current and prior periods based on a performance obligation’s percentage of completion in the current period. A significant change in one or more of these estimates could affect the profitability of one of more of our performance obligations and could have a material impact on our financial condition and results of operations.
Our warehouse automation systems generally carry a limited warranty that promises the customer that delivered products are as specified. We do not consider these assurance-type warranties as a separate performance obligation and therefore, we account for such warranties under ASC 460, “Guarantees.”
Unit-based Compensation
The Company has authorized five classes of membership interests, consisting of a class of common units of the Company known as the Class A Common Units (the “Class A Units”), a class of preferred units of the Company known as the Class B Preferred Units (the “Class B Units”), a class of preferred units of the Company known as the
Class B-1
Preferred Units (the
“Class B-1
Units”), a class of preferred units of the Company known as the
Class B-2
Preferred Units (the
“Class B-2
Units”, and together with the Class B Units and the
Class B-1
Units, the “Preferred Units”) and an additional class of common units of the Company to be granted to employees, officers, and directors pursuant to an incentive plan, known as the Class C Common Units (the “Class C Units,” and, together with the Class A Units, the “Common Units,” and the Common Units together with the Preferred Units, the “Units”).
We measure compensation cost for all employees, officers, and directors unit-based awards at fair value on the date of grant and recognize compensation expense over the requisite service period for awards expected to vest. We account for forfeitures as they occur, rather than applying an estimated forfeiture rate. The straight-line method of expense recognition is applied to all awards with service-only conditions.
As there has been no public market for our common units to date, the estimated fair value of our Class C Units has been determined based on enterprise valuations performed by management with the assistance of a third-party valuation firm. The third-party valuations of the Company’s common units were prepared in accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants’ Accounting and Valuation Guide,
Valuation of Privately-Held-Company Equity Securities Issued as Compensation
(the “Practice Guide”), which prescribes several valuation approaches for determining the value of an enterprise, such as the cost, market, and income approaches, and various methodologies for allocating the value of an enterprise to its capital structure and specifically the common stock.
212

Table of Contents
In accordance with the Practice Guide, the following methods of valuation were considered:

| • |  | Option Pricing Method (“OPM”) – The OPM estimates the value of the common equity using the various inputs in the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The OPM treats the rights of the holders of common units as equivalent to that of call options on any value of the enterprise above certain break points of value based upon the liquidation preferences of the holders of our preferred units, as well as their rights to participation. Thus, the value of the common units can be determined by estimating the value of its portion of each of these call option rights. Under this method, the common units have value only if the funds available for distribution to the common unitholders exceed the value of the liquidation preferences of the preferred unitholders at the time of a liquidity event, such as a merger or sale. Given that the common unit represents a non-marketable equity interest in a private enterprise, an adjustment to the preliminary value estimates is made to account for the lack of liquidity that a unitholder experiences. This adjustment is commonly referred to as a discount for lack of marketability.

| • |  | Probability-Weighted Expected Return Method (“PWERM”) – The PWERM is a scenario-based analysis that estimates the value per unit based on the probability-weighted present value of expected future investment returns, considering each of the possible outcomes considered by us, as well as the economic and control rights of each class of units.

| • |  | Hybrid Method (“Hybrid Method”) – The Hybrid Method is a weighted-average method that combines elements of both the OPM and PWERM methods. Weighting allocations are assigned to the OPM and PWERM methods factoring in possible future liquidity events.

The OPM was utilized for the independent third-party valuation of our Class C Units as of September 26, 2020 and September 28, 2019. Subsequently, because of our improved visibility into the timing of a potential initial public offering (“IPO”), the Hybrid Method was utilized for the independent third-party valuation of our Class C Units beginning in the third fiscal quarter of 2021. Equity value for each liquidity event scenario utilized under the Hybrid Method valuation was weighted based on a probability of each event’s occurrence. In our Hybrid Method, two types of future event scenarios were considered: an IPO and a non-IPO scenario accounting for all other potential future exits. Under both scenarios, the enterprise value was determined using a combination of the income approach, specifically a discounted cash flow analysis, and the market approach, specifically the similar transactions method and public company market multiple method. The relative probabilities between the future exit scenarios were based on an analysis of performance and market conditions at the time, including then-current IPO valuations of similarly situated companies and expectations as to the timing and likely prospects of future event scenarios.
As the Class C Units contain a redemption feature that is outside of our control, the Class C Units are classified outside of permanent members’ deficit and the carrying value of Class C Units is adjusted to redemption value at each reporting period through a charge to members’ deficit (until such time as the Class C Units are redeemed or forfeited).
Value Appreciation Units (“VAP Units”) may be exercised for a cash payment equal to the appreciation in the fair market value of 1/100th of a Class C Unit and are subject to three exercisability triggers before any vested award may be exercised, with the achievement of each trigger allowing one third of the vested award to be exercised. Because the VAP Units are settleable in cash, they are treated as liability classified awards. Accordingly, the carrying value of the liability is adjusted to fair value at each reporting period through a charge to earnings (until such time as the VAP Units are settled or forfeited). Further, the exercisability triggers noted above represent performance conditions that impact the vesting of the awards. Accordingly, compensation expense is not recognized until such time as the performance conditions are considered probable of achievement.
Warrant transactions
Warrants to purchase Class A Units may be accounted for as either liability or equity instruments depending on the terms of the warrant agreements. The warrants issued by us are accounted for as equity instruments due to
213

Table of Contents
our ability to settle the warrants through the issuance of units and the absence of terms which would require liability classification, including the rights of the grantee to require cash settlement. We classify these equity instruments within additional
paid-in
capital on the consolidated balance sheets.
Warrants to purchase units accounted for as equity instruments represent the warrants issued to Walmart as discussed in Note 15, “Unit-based Compensation.” We adopted FASB Accounting Standards Update
2019-08,
Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718) and Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)
(“ASU
2019-08”),
which requires entities to measure and classify share-based payment awards granted to a customer by applying the guidance under Topic 718, as of September 27, 2020.
In order to calculate warrant charges, we used the Black-Scholes pricing model, which required key inputs including volatility and risk-free interest rate and certain unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, requiring us to develop our own assumptions. We estimated the fair value of unvested warrants, considered to be probable of vesting, at the time. Based on that estimated fair value, we determined warrant charges, which are recorded as a reduction of the transaction price.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements:
As of March 26, 2022 and September 25, 2021, we had no
off-balance
sheet arrangements as defined in Instruction 8 to Item 303(b) of Regulation
S-K.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
Overview
This section provides an overview of Symbotic LLC’s executive compensation programs, including a narrative description of the material factors necessary to understand the information disclosed in the summary compensation table below.
For the fiscal year ended September 25, 2021, Symbotic LLC’s named executive officers (“Named Executive Officers” or “NEOs”) were:

| • |  | Richard B. Cohen, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer*

| • |  | Thomas Ernst, Chief Financial Officer

| • |  | Michael Dunn, Vice President, Sales, Marketing & Product Strategy

* | Mr. Cohen served as the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Symbotic LLC until April 4, 2022, at which time Michael J. Loparco was appointed Chief Executive Officer.

The objective of Symbotic LLC’s historic compensation program was to provide a total compensation package to each Named Executive Officer that enabled Symbotic LLC to attract, motivate and retain outstanding individuals, encourage individual and collective contributions to the successful execution of Symbotic LLC’s short- and long-term business strategies and reward Named Executive Officers for performance. The Board of Managers of Warehouse, which is solely comprised of Mr. Cohen as Chairman, as the Board of Managers of the sole member of Symbotic LLC (the “Warehouse Board”) has historically determined the compensation for the Named Executive Officers.
The compensation program for the NEOs historically consisted of base salary and incentive compensation delivered in the form of an annual cash bonus and long-term incentive compensation in the form of either equity-based awards in the form of Class C Units of Warehouse or the Warehouse Phantom Awards, each as described below:
CEO and Chairman Compensation
—Mr. Cohen did not receive any cash compensation from either Symbotic LLC or Warehouse for his service as Chairman of the Warehouse Board or as an employee and Chief Executive Officer of Symbotic LLC.
Base Salary
—Base salary is paid to attract and retain qualified talent and is set at a level that is commensurate with the executive’s duties and authorities, contributions, prior experience and performance. For each of Messrs. Ernst and Dunn, base salary for 2021 was $375,000 and $350,000, respectively. As noted above, no base salary is paid to Mr. Cohen.
Annual Cash Bonus
—Annual cash bonuses are paid to incentivize the Named Executive Officers (excluding Mr. Cohen) in recognition of performance for the fiscal year and historically were paid at the discretion of the Warehouse Board. For the fiscal year ended September 25, 2021, the target bonus opportunity for each of Messrs. Ernst and Dunn as a percentage of annual base salary was 50% and 100%, respectively. Based on actual performance results with respect to (1) final acceptance of a
Proof-of-Concept
system for Walmart (achieved in April 2021), (2) achievement of milestones for the next generation of autonomous mobile bots, (3) achievement of milestones for scaling and reducing installation time for systems, (4) achievement of milestones relating to a “connected system” which is a large scale Symbotic system installed in multiple phases in which the phases are connected together to function as one large system and (5) achievement of milestones relating to the establishment and promotion of corporate cultural values, the Warehouse Board determined to pay 2021 bonuses at 100% of target.

Long-Term Incentive Compensation—
Symbotic LLC granted long-term incentive awards in the form of Class C Units awarded pursuant to the 2012 Incentive Units Plan and Warehouse Phantom Awards:

| • |  | Class C Units —Class C Units are intended to be structured as profits interests in Warehouse issued to employees, officers and directors of Symbotic LLC pursuant to individual equity grant agreements. Executives generally receive Class C Units that vest ratably over five years, subject to continued employment. Upon a change in control (as defined in the applicable award agreement), outstanding awards of Class C Units will accelerate such that 50% of the then unvested units at the time of the change in control vest. The transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are not expected to constitute a change in control for purposes of the Class C Units. Pursuant to the terms of the Warehouse LLCA, a trust of which members of Mr. Cohen’s family are the beneficiaries holds a residual interest in any Class C Units that are not awarded to, or are forfeited by or repurchased from, current or former employees or other service providers from time to time. Messrs. Ernst and Dunn did not receive any grants of Class C Units, during the fiscal year ended September 25, 2021.

| • |  | Warehouse Phantom Awards —The Warehouse Phantom Awards were awarded under two plans: (1) the 2012 Value Appreciation Plan as amended (“VAP”) and (2) the 2018 Long Term Incentive Plan as amended (“LTIP”). The VAP provides the holder of the award an opportunity to receive a cash payment valued by reference to a fraction of the fair market value of a Class C Unit, which generally vests ratably over five years, subject to continued employment. Vested portions of VAP awards can be exercised by the holder during an annual exercise period in January of each year, provided that certain performance metrics relating to the first achievement of annual revenue, cash flow and EBITDA targets have been met, with the achievement of each exercisability trigger permitting one third of vested units to be exercised (such that all three exercisability triggers must be achieved in order for 100% of the VAP units in a given award to be exercisable). As of September 25, 2021, two of the three exercisability triggers have been achieved. Exercised awards are paid in cash on an annual payment date in February or March. Vested and outstanding awards under the VAP are paid upon a change in control and unvested awards are cancelled without payment. The LTIP provides the holder of the award an opportunity to receive a cash payment valued by reference to the value of Warehouse determined by a formula based on the company’s revenue and EBITDA, which generally vests ratably over five years, subject to continued employment and subject to Warehouse achieving positive EBITDA for the fiscal year ending during the calendar year in which the award becomes fully vested. Awards under the LTIP vest upon a change in control if the awards are not assumed or substituted, or upon a termination due to death, disability, retirement or without cause within two years following a change in control. The transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are not expected to constitute a change in control for purposes of the Warehouse Phantom Awards. The Incentive Compensation Plan provides that Symbotic may exchange the Warehouse Phantom Awards outstanding prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, including those held by the NEOs, for equity awards under the Incentive Compensation Plan.

Executive Offer Letters
Mr. Ernst is party to an offer letter with Symbotic LLC, dated as of September 1, 2020 (the “Ernst Offer Letter”) that sets forth the terms of Mr. Ernst’s employment, including his initial base salary, a target bonus in the amount of 50% of base salary, and the severance payments and benefits described below under “—
Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change of Control

Any unvested portion of the award will be forfeited upon Mr. Ernst’s termination of employment for any reason.
Mr. Dunn is party to an offer letter with Symbotic LLC, dated as of April 21, 2017 (the “Dunn Offer Letter”) that sets forth the terms of Mr. Dunn’s employment, including his initial base salary, eligibility to
224

Table of Contents

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change of Control

The exercisability of such VAP units is subject to the achievement of certain performance metrics related to Symbotic LLC’s annual revenue, cash flow and EBITDA.
Benefits and Perquisites
The Named Executive Officers participate in employee benefits programs available to Symbotic LLC employees generally, including a 401(k) plan and health and welfare programs. Pursuant to Symbotic LLC’s 401(k) plan, Symbotic LLC matches 100% of each dollar contributed by a participant up to the first 3% of eligible compensation and 50% of each dollar contributed by a participant above 3% and up to the first 5% of eligible compensation, subject to limits under the Code.
In addition, Named Executive Officers that are unitholders of Warehouse, including as a result of the Class C Units held by such Named Executive Officer, participate in the Member Program Symbotic LLC established for recipients of Class C Units. Participants in the Member Program receive certain benefits, including an annual tax preparation allowance of $10,000 for a tax advisor that is paid in
pro-rata
bi-weekly
installments and an adjustment payment to cover social security and Medicare taxes that would have been paid by Symbotic LLC if the holder was considered an employee instead of a member of Warehouse. Symbotic LLC also provides participants in the Member Program with payments to cover the tax associated with the tax preparation allowance and member adjustments, as well as a separate state tax adjustment to address the higher state income tax rates that participants will pay to states other than where they reside as a result of such participant’s partner status.

A holder is eligible to receive a payment upon exercise of or payment in respect of their VAP units equal to the excess of the fair market value as of the time determined pursuant to the plan and award agreement over the initial value set forth in this column, subject to the terms and conditions of the plan and the holder’s award agreement.

(5) | Represents grant of 328,536 VAP units, which vest using the same vesting schedule and vesting dates as the Dunn Sign On Award. As of September 25, 2021, 80% of these VAP units had vested and two-thirds of such vested VAP units were exercisable.

Period”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, subsequent to the Business Combination, the last reported sale price of the Post-Combination Company’s Class A common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for
share sub-divisions, share
capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within
a 30-trading day
period commencing at least 150 days after the Business Combination, the Sponsor Shares shall be released from the foregoing
lock-up.
The parties to the Sponsor Letter Agreement have also agreed that certain of the Sponsor Shares shall be unvested and shall be subject to certain performance-based vesting provisions described below. The Sponsor has agreed, subject to certain exceptions, not to transfer any unvested Sponsor Shares prior to the date such securities become vested. Pursuant to the Sponsor Letter Agreement, (i) 60% of the Sponsor Shares will vest at the Closing, (ii) 20% of the Sponsor Shares will vest at such time as Triggering Event I occurs on or before the seventh anniversary of the Closing, and (iii) 20% of the Sponsor Shares will vest at such time as Triggering Event II occurs on or before the seventh anniversary of the Closing. Any Sponsor Shares that remain unvested after the seventh anniversary of the Closing shall be forfeited.
In the event the Post-Combination Company enters into a binding agreement on or before (a) the seventh anniversary of the Closing and (b) the occurrence of Triggering Event I and/or Triggering Event II, related to
233

Table of Contents
certain sale transactions involving the outstanding voting equity securities of the Post-Combination Company or all or substantially all of the assets of the Post-Combination Company, (i) the $12.00 Threshold Shares (to the extent Triggering Event I has not occurred) shall vest on the day prior to the closing of such sale transaction if the per share price implied in such transaction is equal to or greater than $12.00, and (ii) the $14.00 Threshold Shares (to the extent Triggering Event II has not occurred) shall vest on the day prior to the closing of such sale transaction if the per share price implied in such transaction is equal to or greater than $14.00.
The Sponsor Letter Agreement also provides that following the Closing, SVF 3 will cease all use of the name “SVF,” including as part of its corporate name, subject to specified permitted uses.
The Sponsor Letter Agreement shall terminate upon the earliest to occur of (a) the later of (i) the earlier of (x) a Triggering Event II and (y) the seventh anniversary of the Closing and, in either case, the performance by SVF 3 and Sponsor of the last obligation required to be performed by it following Triggering Event II or the seventh anniversary of the Closing, as applicable and (ii) the expiration of the Sponsor Shares
Lock-up
Period, (b) the termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms prior to the Closing, and (c) the time the Sponsor Letter Agreement is terminated upon the mutual written agreement of the parties thereto.
Unit Purchase Agreement
In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, SVF 3, Warehouse, Symbotic Holdings, and certain affiliated entities and trusts of the Symbotic Founder and his family members entered into the Unit Purchase Agreement. The Unit Purchase Agreement provides that following the Closing but on the Closing Date, SVF 3 shall purchase from the Sellers an aggregate number of New Symbotic Holdings Common Units equal to the Repurchase Amount without any deductions or setoff, divided by $10.00, in each case, at a price of $10.00 per Purchase Unit in cash. Concurrently with the purchase of the Purchase Units, an equal number of shares of the Post-Combination Company’s
Class V-3
common stock held by the Sellers will automatically and simultaneously be transferred to the Post-Combination Company and the Post-Combination Company shall cancel such shares of the Post-Combination Company’s
Class V-3
common stock.
Tax Receivable Agreement
In connection with the Closing, SVF 3 will enter into the Tax Receivable Agreement, which will generally provide for the payment by the Post-Combination Company to the TRA Holders of 85% of the amount of the cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal and state income tax that the Post-Combination Company actually realizes (or are deemed to realize in certain circumstances) in periods after the Closing as a result of (i) the existing tax basis in certain assets of New Symbotic Holdings that is allocable to the relevant New Symbotic Holdings Common Units, (ii) any
step-up
in tax basis in New Symbotic Holdings’ assets resulting from (a) certain purchases of New Symbotic Holdings Common Units (including the purchases of the Purchase Units pursuant to the Unit Purchase Agreement), (b) future exchanges of New Symbotic Holdings Common Units for cash or shares of the Post-Combination Company’s Class A common stock, (c) certain distributions (if any) by New Symbotic Holdings and (d) payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement (iii) tax benefits related to imputed interest deemed to be paid by the Post-Combination Company as a result of payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement. The term of the Tax Receivable Agreement will continue until all such tax benefits have been utilized or expired unless the Post-Combination Company exercises its right to terminate the Tax Receivable Agreement for an amount representing the present value of anticipated future tax benefits under the Tax Receivable Agreement or certain other acceleration events occur. These payments are the Post-Combination Company’s obligation and not that of New Symbotic Holdings.
Moreover, the Tax Receivable Agreement provides that, in the event that (i) the Post-Combination Company exercises its early termination rights under the Tax Receivable Agreement, (ii) the Post-Combination Company experiences certain changes of control (as described in the Tax Receivable Agreement) or (iii) the Post-Combination Company breaches any of the Post-Combination Company’s material obligations under the
234

Table of Contents
Tax Receivable Agreement, the Post-Combination Company’s obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement may accelerate and we could be required to make
a lump-sum cash
payment to each TRA Holder equal to the present value of all future payments that would have otherwise been made under the Tax Receivable Agreement,
which lump-sum payment
would be based on certain assumptions, including those relating to the Post-Combination Company’s future taxable income.
Payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement will generally be made pro rata among all TRA Holders entitled to payments on an annual basis to the extent the Post-Combination Company has sufficient taxable income to utilize the increased depreciation and amortization deductions. The availability of sufficient taxable income to utilize the increased depreciation and amortization expense will not be determined until such time as the financial results for the year in question are known and tax estimates prepared, which typically occurs within 90 days after the end of the applicable calendar year. The Post-Combination Company expects to make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement, to the extent they are required, within 125 days after its federal income tax return is filed for each fiscal year. Interest on such payments will begin to accrue at a rate equal to SOFR plus 100 basis points from the due date (without extensions) of such tax return.
Registration Rights Agreement
The Merger Agreement contemplates that, in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination, Symbotic Inc. will enter into the A&R Registration Rights Agreement with the Sponsor, certain independent directors of SVF 3 (the “SPAC Independent Directors”) and certain legacy Warehouse unitholders (the “Symbotic Equityholders,” and together with the Sponsor and the SPAC Independent Directors, the “Registration Rights Holders”). Pursuant to the A&R Registration Rights Agreement, the Post-Combination Company will agree to file a shelf registration statement with respect to the Registrable Securities (as defined in the A&R Registration Rights Agreement) held by the Registration Rights Holders within 45 days of the date of the A&R Registration Rights Agreement. Up to three times in any
12-month
period, certain of the Symbotic Equityholders and the Sponsor(including their respective permitted transferees) may request to sell all or any portion of their Registrable Securities in an underwritten offering that is registered pursuant to the shelf registration statement, so long as the total offering price is reasonably expected to exceed $25,000,000. The A&R Registration Rights Agreement will provide for customary “demand” and “piggyback” registration rights. The A&R Registration Rights Agreement will provide that the Post-Combination Company will pay certain expenses relating to such registrations and indemnify the equityholders party thereto against certain liabilities.
Further, each of the Symbotic Equityholders will agree that it will not transfer any New Symbotic Holdings Common Units (or shares of the Post-Combination Company’s Class A common stock received in exchange therefor) for one year after the Closing Date (in the case of Symbotic Director Equityholders) or 180 days after the Closing Date (in the case of Symbotic Officer Equityholders), subject in each case to exceptions set out in the A&R Registration Rights Agreement. Notwithstanding this provision, the Symbotic Equityholders and their respective permitted transferees may make transfers during the
lock-up
period: (i) to Symbotic Inc.’s or New Symbotic Holdings’ officers or directors, any affiliate or family member of any of Symbotic Inc.’s or New Symbotic Holdings’ officers or directors; (ii) in the case of an individual, by gift to a member of the individual’s immediate family or to a trust, the beneficiary of which is a member of the individual’s immediate family, an affiliate of such person or to a charitable organization; (iii) in the case of an individual, by virtue of laws of descent and distribution upon death of the individual; (iv) in the case of an individual, pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order; or (v) if otherwise permitted under the New Symbotic Holdings LLC Agreement; provided, however, that in the case of clauses (i) through (v), any such permitted transferees must enter into a written agreement agreeing to be bound by the foregoing transfer restrictions.
Subscription Agreements
In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, SVF 3 entered into Subscription Agreements with certain parties subscribing for shares of the Post-Combination Company’s Class A common stock pursuant
235

Table of Contents
to which the Subscribers have agreed to purchase, and SVF 3 has agreed to sell the Subscribers, an aggregate of 20,500,000 shares of the Post-Combination Company’s Class A common stock, at a purchase price of $10.00 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $205,000,000. The obligations to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Subscription Agreements are conditioned upon, among other things, customary closing conditions and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.
SVF 3 has agreed, pursuant to the Subscription Agreements, to use commercially reasonable efforts to register the resale of such shares of Post-Combination Company’s Class A common stock pursuant to a registration statement after the Closing Date.
The Post-Combination Company’s Class A common stock to be issued pursuant to the Subscription Agreements have not been registered under the Securities Act, and will be issued in reliance on the availability of an exemption from registration. The proceeds from the PIPE Investment will be paid to Post-Combination Company and subsequently contributed to Symbotic Holdings in connection with the Business Combination. Each Subscription Agreement will terminate upon the earlier to occur of (i) the termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms, (ii) the mutual written agreement of each of the parties to such Subscription Agreement, and (iii) July 10, 2022 (unless such date is extended pursuant to the terms of such Subscription Agreement) if the Closing has not yet occurred.
New Symbotic Holdings LLC Agreement
Following the Closing, the Post-Combination Company will operate its business through New Symbotic Holdings. At the Closing, Symbotic Holdings, the Post-Combination Company and the other unitholders of Symbotic Holdings will enter into the New Symbotic Holdings LLC Agreement. The operations of Symbotic Holdings, and the rights and obligations of its unitholders, will be set forth in the New Symbotic Holdings LLC Agreement.
Management of New Symbotic Holdings
Except as otherwise provided in the New Symbotic Holdings LLC Agreement, (i) all management powers over the business and affairs of New Symbotic Holdings shall be exclusively vested in the Post-Combination Company, as the sole managing member of New Symbotic Holdings, (ii) the Post-Combination Company shall conduct, direct and exercise full control over all activities of New Symbotic Holdings and (iii) no other member shall have any right, authority or power to vote, consent or approve any matter. The Post-Combination Company may resign at any time by giving written notice to the members with vacancies to be filled by the Post-Combination Company. The members have no right under the New Symbotic Holdings LLC Agreement to remove or replace Symbotic Inc. as manager or fill any vacancy in the position of manager. Subject to limited exceptions, the Post-Combination Company may not transfer its interests in New Symbotic Holdings.
Redemption Rights
Following the Closing, each New Symbotic Holdings Common Unit may be redeemed by the holder thereof for shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Post-Combination Company (or an equivalent amount in cash, at the option of the Post-Combination Company, subject to the provisions of the New Symbotic Holdings LLC Agreement) at a value equal to the arithmetic mean of the volume-weighted average price of a share of the Post-Combination Company’s Class A common stock for the full five trading days immediately prior to the redemption date, subject to certain exceptions. Upon such redemption, a number of shares of the Post-Combination Company’s
Class V-3
common stock or
Class V-1
common stock, as applicable, equal to the number of the redeemed New Symbotic Holdings Common Units, will be transferred to the Post-Combination Company and cancelled by the Post-Combination Company.
In addition, the Post-Combination Company generally will have the right to require, in connection with a change of control of the Post-Combination Company, each New Symbotic Holdings Unitholder to effect a
236

Table of Contents
redemption of all or a portion of such member’s New Symbotic Holdings Common Units together with an equal number of shares of
Class V-1
common stock or
Class V-3
common stock, as applicable, pursuant to which such units and such shares will be exchanged for shares of Class A common stock (or economically equivalent cash or securities of a successor entity).
Distributions and Allocations
Subject to the obligations of New Symbotic Holdings to make tax distributions and to reimburse the Post-Combination Company for certain expenses, the Post-Combination Company will have the right to determine when distributions will be made to holders of New Symbotic Holdings Common Units and the amount of any such distributions. Following the Closing, if the Post-Combination Company authorizes a distribution, such distribution will be made to the holders of New Symbotic Common Units on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective percentage ownership of vested New Symbotic Common Units.
The holders of New Symbotic Common Units, including the Post-Combination Company, will generally incur U.S. federal, state and local income taxes on their share of any net taxable income of New Symbotic Holdings. Net income and losses of New Symbotic Holdings generally will be allocated to the holders of New Symbotic Common Units on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective percentage ownership of New Symbotic Common Units, subject to requirements under U.S. federal income tax law that certain items of income, gain, loss, or deduction be allocated disproportionately in certain circumstances. To the extent the funds of New Symbotic Holdings are legally available for distribution, and subject to any restrictions contained in any credit agreement to which Symbotic Holdings or its subsidiaries is bound and certain limitations set forth in the New Symbotic Holdings LLC Agreement, the New Symbotic LLC Agreement will require New Symbotic Holdings to make pro rata cash distributions to the holders of New Symbotic Common Units, including the Post-Combination Company, in an amount generally intended to allow the holders of New Symbotic Common Units to satisfy their respective income tax liabilities with respect to their allocable share of the income of New Symbotic Holdings.

common stock, as applicable, to maintain at all times (i) a
one-to-one
ratio between the number of New Symbotic Holdings Common Units owned by the Post-Combination Company and the number of outstanding shares of the Post-Combination Company’s Class A common stock, in the aggregate, and (ii) a
one-to-one
ratio between the number of New Symbotic Holdings Common Units owned by each member (other than the Post-Combination Company), directly or indirectly, and the number of outstanding shares of the Post-Combination Company’s
Class V-1
common stock or
Class V-3
common stock, as applicable, owned by such member, directly or indirectly, in each case of clause (i) and (ii), disregarding certain unvested and other equity described in the New Symbotic Holdings LLC Agreement.

Unaudited Prospective Financial Information of Symbotic
Symbotic does not as a matter of course make public projections as to future sales, earnings or other results. However, Warehouse’s management prepared and provided to Warehouse’s board of managers, Warehouse’s financial advisors and SVF 3 certain internal, unaudited prospective financial information in connection with the evaluation of the Business Combination. Warehouse’s management prepared such financial information based on their judgment and assumptions regarding the future financial performance of Symbotic. The inclusion of the below information should not be regarded as an indication that Symbotic or any other recipient of this information considered, or now considers, it to be necessarily predictive of actual future results.
The unaudited prospective financial information is subjective in many respects. As a result, there can be no assurance that the prospective results will be realized or that actual results will not be significantly higher or lower than estimated. Since the unaudited prospective financial information covers multiple years, that information by its nature becomes less predictive with each successive year.
While presented in this proxy statement/prospectus with numeric specificity, the information set forth in the summary below was based on numerous variables and assumptions that are inherently uncertain and may be beyond the control of Warehouse’s management, including, among other things, the matters described in the sections entitled “
Forward
-Looking
Statements
” and “
Risk Factors
.” Symbotic believes the assumptions in the prospective financial information were reasonable at the time the financial information was prepared, given the information Symbotic had at the time. However, important factors that may affect actual results and cause the results reflected in the prospective financial information not to be achieved include, among other things, risks and uncertainties relating to Symbotic’s business, industry performance, the regulatory environment, and general business and economic conditions. The prospective financial information also reflects assumptions as to certain business decisions that are subject to change. The unaudited prospective financial information was not prepared with a view toward public disclosure or with a view toward complying with the guidelines of the SEC, or the guidelines established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants with respect to prospective financial information, but, in the view of Warehouse’s management, was prepared on a reasonable basis, reflects the best currently available estimates and judgments, and presents, to the best of management’s knowledge and belief, the expected course of action and the expected future financial performance of Symbotic. However, this information is not fact and should not be relied upon as being necessarily indicative of future results, and readers of this proxy statement/prospectus are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the prospective financial information.
Neither Symbotic’s independent auditors, nor any other independent accountants, have complied, examined or performed any procedures with respect to the prospective financial information contained herein, nor have they expressed any opinion or any other form of assurance on such information or its achievability, and assume no responsibility for, and disclaim any association with, the prospective financial information. The audit reports included in this proxy statement/prospectus relate to historical financial information. They do not extend to the prospective financial information and should not be read to do so.
Except as required by applicable securities laws, Symbotic does not intend to make publicly available any update or other revision to the prospective financial information. The prospective financial information does not take into account any circumstances or events occurring after the date that information was prepared. Readers of this proxy statement/prospectus are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the unaudited prospective financial information set forth below. None of Symbotic, SVF 3 nor any of their respective affiliates, officers, directors, advisors or other representatives has made or makes any representation to any Warehouse unitholder, SVF 3 shareholder or any other person regarding ultimate performance compared to the information contained in the prospective financial information or that financial and operating results will be achieved.
Certain of the measures included in the prospective financial information may be considered
non-GAAP
financial measures.
Non-GAAP
financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute
238

Table of Contents
for, financial information presented in compliance with GAAP, and
non-GAAP
financial measures as used by Symbotic may not be comparable to similarly titled amounts used by other companies. Financial measures provided to a financial advisor in connection with a business combination transaction are excluded from the definition of
non-GAAP
financial measures and therefore are not subject to SEC rules regarding disclosures of
non-GAAP
financial measures, which would otherwise require a reconciliation of a
non-GAAP
financial measure to a GAAP financial measure. Accordingly, we have not provided a reconciliation of such financial measures.
The following table sets forth certain summarized prospective financial information regarding Symbotic for fiscal years ending in 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025:

|  | Forecast Fiscal Year Ending |
(USD in millions) |  | 2021E |  |  | 2022E |  |  | 2023E |  |  | 2024E |  |  | 2025E |
Revenue |  | $ | 211 |  |  | $ | 433 |  |  | $ | 832 |  |  | $ | 1,448 |  |  | $ | 2,207 |
Gross Profit |  | $ | 4 |  |  | $ | 102 |  |  | $ | 223 |  |  | $ | 436 |  |  | $ | 652 |
Adjusted EBITDA (1) |  | $ | (99 | ) |  | $ | (38 | ) |  | $ | 74 |  |  | $ | 278 |  |  | $ | 486 |

(1) | Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization), adjusted to exclude certain unusual or non-recurring items, certain non-cash items and other items that are not indicative of ongoing operations (including unit-based compensation and business combination transaction expenses). For a historical reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP measure of net income, please see the section titled “ Symbotic’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results Of Operations .”

The Symbotic prospective financial information was prepared using a number of assumptions that Warehouse’s management believed to be material, including the following:

| • |  | Prospective financial information relating to revenue is based on a variety of operational assumptions, including:

| • |  | Contracted backlog : Approximately two-thirds of the forecasted revenue for FY2022 through FY2025 is accounted for in our existing $5.4 billion non-changeable, scheduled backlog. More specifically, all forecasted revenue for FY2022 and FY2023, 63% of forecasted revenue for FY2024, and 53% of forecasted revenue for FY2025 are in scheduled backlog.

| • |  | Expansion within our current customer base : In addition to system deployments already under contract with our existing customers, our forecast includes additional system deployments within our customers’ distribution networks.

| • |  | Existing sales pipeline opportunities : We are currently in discussions with several new prospective customers and our forecast assumes a portion of those discussions will convert to revenue generating system sales.

| • |  | New and existing customer sales projections: Assuming an average project size of $50 million in initial system revenue, we anticipate approximately 10 new projects in FY2024 and 20 new projects in FY2025 from a roughly even mix of new and existing customers. We currently have projects in our pipeline that range in size from half to three times this average project size.

| • |  | New sales opportunities in our strategically addressable markets : Our forecast assumes only minor penetration, approximately 0.5%, of our identified $289 billion total addressable market in the United States.

| • |  | Prospective financial information relating to gross profit and adjusted EBITDA are based on a variety of operational assumptions, including:

| • |  | Estimated costs to manufacture and install our systems : We expect some of the current costs associated with supply chain and commodity constraints to normalize in the long-run, lowering future costs starting in FY2023 as compared to FY2021 and FY2022.

239

Table of Contents

| • |  | Gross profit : Visibility is enhanced by the cost structure across the strong majority of our contracted backlog; gross profits have guaranteed minimums with key variable cost items such as labor and steel cost variances being absorbed by the customer. This is due to the cost-plus fixed profit structure of the contracted backlog.

| • |  | Growth of adjusted operating expenses : We forecast selling, general, and administrative expenses to more than double from FY2021 to FY2025, which is primarily driven by additional headcount in sales to support our new customer sales and increased headcount in finance, human resources, and legal departments to support our transition to a publicly traded company. Research and development expenses are forecasted to increase 64% between FY2020 and FY2022 in order to support the company’s product development roadmap, with modest growth expected between FY2023 and FY2025.

Background of the Business Combination
The following chronology summarizes certain key meetings and events that led to the signing of the Merger Agreement. The following chronology does not purport to catalogue every conversation among representatives of SVF 3, Symbotic and other parties.
SVF 3 is a blank check company originally incorporated on December 11, 2020 as a Cayman Islands corporation for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities (a “SVF Business Combination”). The Business Combination with Symbotic is a result of an active search for a potential SVF Business Combination utilizing the global network and investing and transaction experience of SVF 3’s management team and board of directors. The terms of the Merger Agreement are the result of an arm’s length negotiation between representatives of SVF 3 and Symbotic.
Prior to the consummation of the SVF 3 IPO, neither SVF 3, nor anyone on its behalf, engaged in any substantive discussions, directly or indirectly, with any business combination target with respect to a SVF Business Combination.
Following the SVF 3 IPO, SVF 3’s Sponsor, directors and officers and their affiliates commenced an active search for prospective businesses or assets to acquire in a SVF Business Combination. Representatives of SVF 3 were contacted by, and representatives of SVF 3 contacted, numerous individuals, financial advisors and other entities who offered to present ideas for opportunities for a SVF Business Combination. SVF 3’s directors and officers and their affiliates also brought to its attention target business candidates. SVF 3’s acquisition criteria is to seek candidates in the technology-enabled sector, which leverage technology to improve operations.
During this search process, SVF 3 reviewed several target businesses as candidates for a SVF Business Combination and entered into a customary confidentiality agreement with one of those target businesses, Company A, on March 11, 2021. After conducting a high level review of Company A and meeting with its senior management, representatives of SVF 3 and Company A discussed the material terms of a potential SVF Business Combination, including valuation. SVF 3’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Ioannis Pipilis, contacted the other members of the Board to inform them about Company A and of the opportunity for a potential SVF Business Combination with Company A, including the valuation of Company A and the other material terms that he believed would be included in
a non-binding letter
of intent between the parties. During the period between March 11, 2021 and March 23, 2021, SVF 3 also consulted with Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP (“Paul, Weiss”), its legal counsel, as well as other advisors, regarding the terms of a potential SVF Business Combination with Company A.
On March 23, 2021, SVF 3 and Company A entered into
a non-binding letter
of intent that established the material terms of a potential SVF Business Combination between Company A and SVF 3, and agreed to a period
240

Table of Contents
of 45 days of mutual exclusivity to pursue the potential SVF Business Combination. The terms of
the non-binding letter
of intent with Company A, including the valuation of Company A, were consistent with the terms that had been previously discussed with members of the Board.
Commencing on April 12, 2021, SVF 3 and Company A held investor meetings with potential investors in a public investment in private equity (“PIPE”) transaction in connection with a SVF Business Combination with Company A.
Between March 23, 2021 and May 27, 2021, SVF 3, with the assistance of its legal counsel and other advisors, continued its due diligence of Company A with respect to business, financial, legal, accounting and other matters.
On May 27, 2021, following further due diligence of Company A and conversations between representatives of SVF 3 and Company A regarding feedback received from potential PIPE investors and other matters, SVF 3 and Company A determined to terminate discussions between the parties regarding a potential SVF Business Combination because of, among other things, a difference in valuation expectations between SVF 3 and Company A. Mr. Pipilis had previously discussed the termination of discussions with Company A with the members of the Board.
Following termination of discussions with Company A and the exclusivity obligations between Company A and SVF 3, SVF 3’s directors and officers and their affiliates resumed their active search for prospective businesses or assets to acquire in a SVF Business Combination. From May 28, 2021 through August 1, 2021, SVF 3 reviewed fourteen potential targets for a SVF Business Combination and entered into one
non-disclosure
agreement.
From time to time, Mr. Richard B. Cohen, founder and sole manager of the board of managers of Symbotic, along with the management team of Symbotic, reviewed and evaluated potential strategic opportunities and alternatives for Symbotic, with a view toward accelerating the company’s growth. Such opportunities and alternatives included, among other things, private financing transactions, capital markets transactions, commercial transactions and possible strategic investments.
In April 2021, Symbotic entered into an amendment to the Walmart MAA with Walmart, its largest customer, pursuant to which, among other things, Walmart exercised its option under the Walmart MAA to implement certain additional Symbotic systems in its regional distribution centers under an accelerated timeline. In connection with such amendment to the Walmart MAA, Symbotic agreed to issue two warrants to Walmart, each of which would allow Walmart to acquire a number of Warehouse Class A Units equal to 5% ownership in Symbotic (subject to dilution and customary adjustments) upon satisfaction of certain vesting conditions (the “Walmart Warrants”). Also in connection with the issuance of the Walmart Warrants, Symbotic agreed (i) to provide Walmart prior written notice if it decided to explore a public offering, including an initial public offering of Symbotic or a business combination transaction with a special purpose acquisition company (“SPAC”) counterparty, or a substantial sale of more than 25% of the outstanding capital stock or other equity interests of Symbotic, and (ii) to use commercially reasonable efforts to facilitate Walmart’s participation in any PIPE transaction contemplated in connection with a business combination with any SPAC counterparty.
On June 7, 2021, Symbotic entered into an engagement letter with Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (“Goldman Sachs”) to serve as Symbotic’s exclusive financial advisor in connection with the possible sale of all or a portion of Symbotic to a SPAC counterparty or other buyer.
On June 18, 2021, Symbotic and Mr. Cohen delivered written notice to Walmart of Symbotic’s intention to explore potential strategic alternatives, including with respect to a potential public offering, including a potential SPAC transaction, and requested that Walmart provide notice of its interest in participating in the PIPE Investment in connection therewith within the time frame contemplated by the Walmart MAA, as amended.
241

Table of Contents
Walmart expressed interest in participating in the PIPE Investment but did not respond definitively within the time frame expressed by the Walmart MAA.
After Symbotic engaged Goldman Sachs, Symbotic’s management team and representatives of Goldman Sachs commenced an active search for prospective SPAC counterparties. Symbotic’s management and representatives of Goldman Sachs considered and reached out to a number of potential SPAC counterparties that had good reputations, strong industry knowledge and/or technology backgrounds and attractive SPAC vehicle structures. Symbotic entered into
non-disclosure
agreements with eleven potential counterparties, and delivered management presentations to nine potential counterparties, including funds affiliated with SoftBank Group Corp. (“SoftBank”), which expressed an interest in either a SPAC transaction or a private financing transaction. Between June 22, 2021 and July 14, 2021, management of Symbotic delivered management presentations regarding Symbotic’s business to certain potential counterparties.
On July 6, 2021, representatives of Goldman Sachs, on behalf and at the direction of Symbotic, provided the initial draft of a
non-binding
term sheet (the “Term Sheet”) to certain potential SPAC counterparties who expressed a desire following Symbotic’s management presentations to continue with the process. The Term Sheet outlined the proposed material terms of a potential SPAC transaction, including with respect to the
“Up-C”
transaction structure, the terms of the PIPE Investment, the composition of an initial board of the Post-Combination Company and other governance matters, closing conditions for the potential transaction and certain exclusivity rights (excluding any rights of Walmart under Symbotic’s existing agreements with Walmart). Symbotic received bids from three potential SPAC counterparties, not including SVF 3, in connection with the process, ascribing a
pre-money
equity value to Symbotic, including assuming approximately $380 million in convertible preferred units (approximately $680 million existing convertible preferred units minus a redemption of $300 million paid down in cash) and $180 million cash, of between $3.85 billion and $6.95 billion.

Certain Additional Disclosures Regarding the Co-Placement Agents and IPO Underwriters
Goldman Sachs and Deutsche Bank are acting as co-placement agents to SVF 3 in connection with the PIPE transaction.
Goldman Sachs was initially engaged by Symbotic to act as financial advisor to Symbotic in connection with a potential sale of all or a portion of Symbotic to a SPAC or other buyer and will receive compensation in connection therewith. Due to Goldman Sachs’ knowledge of Symbotic, SVF 3 engaged Goldman Sachs to act as a co-placement agent with Deutsche Bank on the PIPE Investment. Goldman Sachs and Deutsche Bank will receive fees and expense reimbursements in connection therewith. Goldman Sachs did not provide any advice to SVF 3, including, but not limited to, advice regarding the valuation of Symbotic or the terms of the Business Combination. SVF 3 and Symbotic each signed a consent letter with Goldman Sachs acknowledging Goldman Sachs’ roles as financial advisor to Symbotic and as co-placement agent to SVF 3 in connection with the PIPE Investment and waiving any potential conflicts in connection with such dual roles.
In addition, SVF 3 engaged Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (“Citi”) to provide capital markets advisory services to SVF 3 and Sponsor in connection with the Business Combination. Citi also acted as a joint book-running manager in the Initial Public Offering and will receive a deferred underwriting fee of $4,032,000 upon consummation of the Business Combination. The deferred underwriting fee, if paid, would be in addition to the $2,304,000 of underwriting fees paid to Citi at the time the Initial Public Offering was completed. The deferred underwriting fee of $4,032,000 payable to Citi if the Business Combination is consummated may create a conflict of interest for Citi in its capacity as capital markets advisor in connection with the Business Combination. Citi was not engaged to act as financial advisor to Symbotic in connection with the Business Combination.
Goldman Sachs, Deutsche Bank and Citi (together with their affiliates) are full service financial institutions engaged in various activities, which may include sales and trading, commercial and investment banking, advisory, investment management, investment research, principal investing, hedging, market making, brokerage and other financial and non-financial activities and services. In addition to their roles as financial advisor and coplacement agent as described in this proxy statement/prospectus, Goldman Sachs, Deutsche Bank, Citi and their affiliates may provide investment banking and other commercial dealings to SVF 3, Symbotic and their respective affiliates in the future, for which Goldman Sachs, Deutsche Bank and Citi would expect to receive customary compensation.
Furthermore, in the ordinary course of their business activities, Goldman Sachs, Deutsche Bank, Citi and their affiliates, officers, directors and employees may make or hold a broad array of investments and actively trade debt and equity securities (or related derivative securities) and financial instruments (including bank loans) for their own accounts and for the accounts of their customers. Such investments and securities activities may involve securities and/or instruments of SVF 3 or Symbotic or their respective affiliates. Goldman Sachs, Deutsche Bank, Citi and their affiliates may also make investment recommendations and/or publish or express independent research views in respect of such securities or financial instruments and may hold, or recommend to clients that they acquire, long and/or short positions in such securities and instruments.

Cohen, the sole manager of the Warehouse Board, adopted a written consent determining that the Merger Agreement and the Business Combination upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement were advisable and in the best interests of Warehouse and the Warehouse unitholders, approving the Merger Agreement and the Business Combination.
In reaching his decision to approve, and declare advisable, the Merger Agreement and the Business Combination, Mr. Cohen consulted with the Warehouse board of advisors and Warehouse’s management, as well as Warehouse’s financial and legal advisors, and considered a number of factors, including his knowledge of Warehouse’s business, operations, financial condition, earnings, prospects and capital needs, and his knowledge of the financial and capital markets and the risks associated with raising additional equity or debt financing from private or public markets. Among the various factors that Mr. Cohen considered in favor of his decision are:

| • |  | Superior Strategic Alternative. Based on discussions between Mr. Cohen and the Warehouse board of advisors and Warehouse’s management about Warehouse’s growth plans and possible paths to raising substantial additional capital and potential strategic partners, Mr. Cohen came to view the proposed Business Combination as representing the best potential transaction for Warehouse to access significant capital to fund its continued operations and growth, and create greater value for Warehouse unitholders over the long term.

| • |  | Access to Liquidity for Warehouse Employees . The Post-Combination Company’s status as a public company provides Warehouse unitholders, including Mr. Cohen and certain officers and employees of Warehouse, access to liquidity of the public markets, which may also increase the Post-Combination Company’s ability to successfully attract and retain competent and qualified key management personnel.

| • |  | Significant PIPE . Mr. Cohen considered the strong interest from leading strategic and institutional investors to participate in the PIPE Investment and the ability of Warehouse and SVF 3 to enter into Subscription Agreements for the PIPE Investment that reflected the equity value of Warehouse included in the non-binding term sheet dated August 2, 2021 between Warehouse and SVF 3.

| • |  | Terms of the Merger Agreement. Mr. Cohen considered the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, including but not limited to the nature and scope of the closing conditions, in addition to the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the Business Combination.

| • |  | Purchase Price. Mr. Cohen considered the valuation of Warehouse implied by the terms of the Merger Agreement to reflect an attractive valuation of Warehouse, while offering substantial potential upside after consummating the Business Combination relative to current valuations of other publicly traded comparable warehouse technology companies.

| • |  | Access to Capital. Mr. Cohen considered expectations that the Business Combination would be a more time- and cost-effective means to access capital than other options considered, including an initial public offering.

| • |  | Benefit from Being a Public Company. Mr. Cohen believed that under new public ownership it will have the flexibility and financial resources to pursue and execute a growth strategy to increase revenue and unitholder value and will benefit from being publicly traded, and can effectively utilize the broader access to capital and public profile that are associated with being a publicly traded company.

Mr. Cohen also considered a variety of uncertainties and risks and other potentially negative factors concerning the Business Combination including, but not limited to, the following:

| • |  | Closing Conditions . Mr. Cohen considered the risk that the Business Combination is conditioned on the satisfaction of certain closing conditions that are not within Warehouse’s control. Mr. Cohen also considered the risk that the Merger Agreement may be terminated by SVF 3 if the PCAOB Audited

| Financials contain material restatements, deviations, differences or modifications from the audited historical financial statements of Warehouse and its subsidiaries as of September 26, 2020 and September 28, 2019 that would reasonably be expected to significantly and negatively impact the equity value of Warehouse based on the methodology used to determine the equity value of Warehouse included in the non-binding term sheet dated August 2, 2021 between Warehouse and SVF 3.

| • |  | Impact on Reputation and Business if the Business Combination is Not Completed. Mr. Cohen considered the possibility that the Business Combination might not be completed and that there may be an adverse effect of the public announcement of the Business Combination on Warehouse’s reputation and business in the event the Business Combination is not completed.

| • |  | Costs of Being a Public Company. Mr. Cohen considered the additional public company expenses and obligations of Warehouse’s business following the Business Combination, to which it previously has not been subject.

| • |  | Restrictions on Operation of Warehouse’s Business . Mr. Cohen considered the fact that, although Warehouse will continue to exercise, consistent with the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, control and supervision over its operations prior to the completion of the Business Combination, the Merger Agreement generally obligates Warehouse, subject to SVF 3’s prior consent (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), to conduct its business in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice and in accordance with specified restrictions, which might delay or prevent Warehouse from undertaking certain business opportunities that might arise pending completion of the Business Combination.

| • |  | Interests of Mr. Cohen and Warehouse Executive Officers. Mr. Cohen considered the fact that he, along with certain executive officers of Warehouse, has interests in the Business Combination that may be different from, or in addition to, the interests of Warehouse unitholders generally, including the manner in which he would be affected by the Business Combination and the other matters disclosed under the section entitled “ Interests of Warehouse’s Sole Manager and Board of Advisors and Symbotic LLC’s Executive Officers in the Business Combination .”

| • |  | Other Risks. Mr. Cohen considered various other risks associated with the combined organization and the Business Combination, including the risks described in the section entitled “ Risk Factors .”

The foregoing discussion of the factors considered by Mr. Cohen is not intended to be exhaustive, but, rather, includes the material factors considered by Mr. Cohen. In reaching his decision to approve, and declare advisable, the Merger Agreement and the Business Combination, Mr. Cohen did not quantify or assign any relative weights to the factors considered. Mr. Cohen considered all these factors as a whole, including discussions with, and questioning of, Warehouse management and financial and legal advisors, and, overall, considered these factors to be favorable to, and to support, his determination.
Mr. Cohen concluded that the uncertainties and risks and other potentially negative factors concerning the Business Combination associated with the Business Combination were outweighed by the potential benefits that he expected Warehouse unitholders would receive as a result of the Business Combination. Accordingly, Mr. Cohen determined that the Business Combination and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are advisable to, and in the best interests of, Warehouse and its unitholders, and approved, and declared advisable, the Merger Agreement and the Business Combination.
Recommendation of the SVF 3 Board of Directors and Reasons for the Business Combination
SVF 3’s board of directors, in evaluating the Business Combination, consulted with SVF 3’s management and legal advisors. In reaching its unanimous resolution (i) that the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Business Combination and the issuance of shares of common stock in connection therewith, are advisable and in the best interests of SVF 3 and its shareholders and (ii) to recommend that the SVF 3 shareholders adopt the Merger Agreement and approve the Business Combination, SVF 3’s board

of directors considered a range of factors, including, but not limited to, the factors discussed below. In light of the number and wide variety of factors considered in connection with its evaluation of the Business Combination, SVF 3’s board of directors did not consider it practicable to, and did not attempt to, quantify or otherwise assign relative weights to the specific factors that it considered in reaching its determination and supporting its decision. SVF 3’s board of directors viewed its decision as being based on all of the information available and the factors presented to and considered by it. In addition, individual directors may have given different weight to different factors. This explanation of SVF 3’s reasons for the Business Combination and all other information presented in this section is
forward-looking
in nature and, therefore, should be read in light of the factors discussed under “
Forward
-Looking
Statements.
”
In approving the Business Combination, SVF 3’s board of directors determined not to obtain a fairness opinion. The officers and directors of SVF 3 have substantial experience in evaluating the operating and financial merits of companies from a wide range of industries and concluded that their experience and background, together with experience and sector expertise of SVF 3’s advisors, enabled them to make the necessary analyses and determinations regarding the Business Combination. In addition, SVF 3’s officers and directors and SVF 3’s advisors have substantial experience with mergers and acquisitions.
SVF 3’s board of directors considered a number of factors pertaining to the Business Combination as generally supporting its decision to enter into the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including, but not limited to, the following material factors:

| • |  | Industry-Leading System . Symbotic is a leading supplier of warehousing automation that is reinventing distribution centers with its proprietary and innovative A.I.-enabled robotics and software to improve supply chain logistics, making the supply chain faster, more efficient and more profitable for manufacturers, distributors and retailers of all sizes. Symbotic’s advanced automation solution synchronizes with any existing warehouse management system to dramatically increase overall warehouse throughput.

| • |  | Growth Prospects . SVF 3’s Board believes that Symbotic has significant growth opportunities in a large and expanding market, based on Symbotic’s scalable model and innovative, best-in-class technology and Symbotic’s proven customer traction and highly experienced leadership team.

| • |  | Market Opportunity . SVF 3’s Board believes that Symbotic is well positioned to benefit from the increasing demands in traditional retail as well as the acceleration of the transition to e-commerce and the digital economy globally by helping retailers and logistics companies meet ever increasing consumer demands, combined with global concerns over weaknesses in supply chains and critical infrastructure, heightened by the COVID-19 pandemic.

| • |  | Value-Add to Customers . SVF 3’s Board believes Symbotic’s solutions enable competitive operational efficiencies to be realized by customers that operate in highly competitive industries by automating supply chain operations with an A.I.-powered system and reducing labor spend, operating costs and errors.

| • |  | Valuation . SVF 3’s Board determined that the valuation analysis conducted by SVF 3, based on the materials and financial projections provided by Symbotic, supported the equity valuation of Symbotic. As part of this determination, SVF 3’s management, financial advisors and legal counsel conducted due diligence examinations of Symbotic and discussed with Symbotic’s management the outlook of Symbotic.

| • |  | Experienced and Proven Management Team . Symbotic has a strong management team and the senior management of Warehouse (including the chairman, chief executive officer and founder of Warehouse) intend to remain with the Post-Combination Company in the capacity of officers and/or directors, which will provide helpful continuity in advancing Symbotic’s strategic and growth goals.

| • |  | Financial Condition . SVF 3’s Board also considered factors such as Symbotic’s projected financial results, outlook, financial plan and expansion opportunities, as well as valuations and trading of

252

Table of Contents

| publicly traded companies and valuations of precedent merger and acquisition targets in similar and adjacent sectors.

| • |  | Results of Due Diligence . SVF 3’s Board considered the scope of the due diligence investigation conducted by SVF 3’s management team and third-party advisors and evaluated the results thereof and information available to it related to Symbotic, including examinations of the operations, financial condition and prospects of Symbotic.

| • |  | PIPE Investment . Third-party investor interest in the PIPE Investment, including Walmart’s participation in the PIPE Investment, which is contingent on consummation of the Business Combination, serves as validation of the valuation and the opportunity represented by the Business Combination.

| • |  | Continued Ownership by Warehouse Unitholders . SVF 3’s Board considered that existing Warehouse unitholders would collectively be the largest stockholders of the Post-Combination Company following the Business Combination. SVF 3’s Board considered this investment a strong sign of existing Warehouse unitholders’ confidence in the Post-Combination Company and the benefits to be realized as a result of the Business Combination.

| • |  | Other Alternatives . After a thorough review of the other potential business combination opportunities reasonably available to SVF 3 at the time, SVF 3’s Board concluded that the proposed Business Combination represents the best potential business combination for SVF 3 and its stockholders based upon the process utilized to evaluate and assess other potential targets, and SVF 3’s Board and SVF 3 management’s belief that such processes had not presented a better alternative.

| • |  | Terms of the Merger Agreement . SVF 3’s Board reviewed and considered the financial and other terms of the Merger Agreement and the related agreements, including the parties’ conditions to their respective obligations to complete the transactions contemplated therein and their ability to terminate such agreements under the circumstances described therein, and determined that such terms and conditions are reasonable and were the product of arm’s length negotiations between SVF 3 and Warehouse.

SVF 3’s Board also considered a variety of uncertainties and risks and other potentially negative factors concerning the Business Combination including, but not limited to, the following:

| • |  | Macroeconomic Risks. Macroeconomic uncertainty, including the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the effects it could have on the Post-Combination Company’s revenue and trading price of the Post-Combination Company’s common stock;

| • |  | Business Plan and Projections May Not Be Achieved. The risk that Symbotic may not be able to execute on the business plan, and realize the financial performance as set forth in the financial projections, in each case, presented to management of SVF 3;

| • |  | Risks Associated with Symbotic’s business . The risk factors set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus under the heading “ Risk Factors—Risks Related to Symbotic—Risks Related to Our Business, Operations and Industry, ” “ Risk Factors—Risks Related to Symbotic—Risks Related to Intellectual Property, ” “ Risk Factors—Risks Related to Symbotic—Risks Related to Cybersecurity, Software Deficiencies, Service Interruptions and Data Privacy ” and “ Risk Factors—Other Risks. ”

| • |  | Redemption Risk. The potential that a significant number of SVF 3 shareholders elect to redeem their shares prior to the consummation of the Business Combination and pursuant to SVF 3’s existing Articles, which would potentially make the Business Combination more difficult or impossible to complete;

| • |  | Shareholder Vote. The risk that SVF 3’s shareholders may fail to provide the respective votes necessary to effect the Business Combination;

253

Table of Contents

| • |  | Exclusivity. The fact that the Merger Agreement includes an exclusivity provision that prohibits SVF 3 from soliciting other business combination proposals, which restricts SVF 3’s ability, so long as the Merger Agreement is in effect, to solicit other potential business combinations.

| • |  | Closing Conditions. The fact that the completion of the Business Combination is conditioned on the satisfaction of certain closing conditions that are not within SVF 3’s control;

| • |  | Litigation. The possibility of litigation challenging the Business Combination or that an adverse judgment granting permanent injunctive relief could indefinitely enjoin consummation of the Business Combination;

| • |  | Listing Risks. The challenges associated with preparing Symbotic, a private entity, for the applicable disclosure and listing requirements to which the Post-Combination Company will be subject as a publicly traded company on NASDAQ;

| • |  | Benefits May Not Be Achieved. The risks that the potential benefits of the Business Combination may not be fully achieved or may not be achieved within the expected timeframe;

| • |  | Liquidation of SVF 3. The risks and costs to SVF 3 if the Business Combination is not completed, including the risk of diverting management focus and resources from other business combination opportunities, which could result in SVF 3 being unable to effect a business combination by March 11, 2023;

| • |  | Growth Initiatives May Not be Achieved. The risk that Symbotic’s growth initiatives may not be fully achieved or may not be achieved within the expected timeframe;

| • |  | No Third - Party Valuation . The risk that SVF 3 did not obtain a third-party valuation or fairness opinion in connection with the Business Combination;

| • |  | SVF 3 Shareholders Receiving a Minority Position in Symbotic. The risk that SVF 3 shareholders will hold a minority position in Symbotic; and

| • |  | Fees and Expenses. The fees and expenses associated with completing the Business Combination.

In addition to considering the factors described above, SVF 3’s board of directors also considered other factors including, without limitation:

| • |  | Interests of Certain Persons. The Sponsor and SVF 3’s directors and officers have interests in such proposals that are different from or in addition to (and which may conflict with) those of SVF 3 shareholders. Shareholders should take these interests into account in deciding whether to approve the proposals presented at the Extraordinary General Meeting, including the Business Combination Proposal. The SVF 3 Board was aware of and considered these interests to the extent such interests existed at the time, among other matters, in approving the Merger Agreement and in recommending that the Business Combination be approved by the shareholders of SVF 3. (see “ —Interests of SVF 3’s Directors and Officers in the Business Combination”) ; and

| • |  | Other Risks Factors. Various other risk factors associated with the Business Combination, the business of Symbotic and the business of SVF 3, as described in the section entitled “ Risk Factors ” appearing elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

SVF 3’s board of directors concluded that the potential benefits that it expected SVF 3 and its shareholders to achieve as a result of the Business Combination outweighed the potentially negative and other factors associated with the Business Combination. SVF 3’s board of directors also noted that the SVF 3 shareholders would have an economic interest in the
Post-Combination
Company (the size of which would depend on the level of SVF 3 shareholders that sought redemption of their Public Shares into cash). Accordingly, SVF 3’s board of directors unanimously determined that the Business Combination and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, were advisable and in the best interests of SVF 3 and its shareholders.

Comparable Company Considerations
In connection with its approval of the Business Combination, the SVF 3 Board considered comparisons of illustrative enterprise valuations and the implied revenue multiples derived from selected comparable companies.
The SVF 3 Board recognized that no company was identical in nature to Symbotic. The SVF 3 Board also recognized that the information was reliant upon Symbotic and the comparable companies achieving their financial projections.
In connection with its approval of the Business Combination, the SVF 3 Board considered, among other things, (i) estimated pro forma post-transaction enterprise value of the Post-Combination Company at the time of transaction announcement, and (ii) estimated pro forma enterprise value of New Symbotic as a multiple of estimated 2023E revenue at the time of transaction announcement based on management’s financial forecast.

Satisfaction of 80% Test
It is a requirement under the Articles that the business or assets acquired in its initial business combination have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the assets held in the Trust Account (excluding deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on the income earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the agreement to enter into such business combination. In addition, the NASDAQ rules require that SVF 3 complete one or more business combinations having an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the value of the assets held in the Trust Account (net of amounts disbursed to management for working capital purposes and excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on the interest earned on the Trust Account) at the time of our signing a definitive agreement in connection with our initial business combination. As of December 12, 2021, the date of the execution of the definitive agreement for the proposed Business Combination, the balance of the Trust Account was approximately $308.8 million (excluding the $11.2 million of deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on the income earned on the Trust Account) and 80% thereof represents approximately $247.0 million. In reaching its conclusion that the proposed Business

(1) | Market data as of December 10, 2021

255

Table of Contents
Combination meets the 80% asset test, our Board used as a fair market value the enterprise value of approximately $4.8 billion, which was implied based on the terms of the transactions agreed to by the parties in negotiating the definitive agreement for the proposed Business Combination. The enterprise value consists of an implied equity value for Warehouse (prior to the proposed Business Combination) of approximately $4.8 billion. In determining whether the enterprise value described above represents the fair market value of Warehouse, the SVF 3 Board considered all of the factors described in the section of the proxy statement/prospectus captioned “Recommendation of the SVF 3 Board of Directors and Reasons for the Business Combination” and the fact that the purchase price for Warehouse was the result of an arm’s length negotiation. As a result, the SVF 3 Board concluded that the fair market value of Warehouse was significantly in excess of 80% of the assets held in the Trust Account (excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on the income earned on the Trust Account).
Interests of SVF 3’s Directors and Officers in the Business Combination
In considering the recommendation of the SVF 3 Board to vote in favor of approval of the proposals, shareholders should keep in mind that the Sponsor and SVF 3’s directors and officers have interests in such proposals that are different from or in addition to (and which may conflict with) those of SVF 3 shareholders. Shareholders should take these interests into account in deciding whether to approve the proposals presented at the Extraordinary General Meeting, including the Business Combination Proposal. These interests include, among other things:

| • |  | The Articles provide that SVF 3 renounce its interest or expectancy in any corporate opportunity about which any director or officer of SVF 3 acquires knowledge unless such opportunity is expressly offered to such person solely in his or her capacity as SVF 3’s director or officer and such opportunity is one that the Company is able to complete on a reasonable basis. Certain of SVF 3’s officers and directors have, and any of them in the future may have additional, fiduciary or contractual obligations to other entities that are sponsored by affiliates of the Sponsor. SVF 3 does not believe, however, that such pre-existing fiduciary duties or contractual obligations of its officers and directors materially affected its search for an acquisition target.

| • |  | If the Business Combination with Symbotic or another business combination is not consummated within the Completion Window, SVF 3 will cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, redeeming 100% of the outstanding Public Shares for cash and, subject to the approval of its remaining shareholders and the SVF 3 Board, dissolving and liquidating. In such event, the 8,000,000 Founder Shares held by SVF 3’s Initial Shareholders which were acquired for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000 prior to the SVF 3 IPO, would be worthless because SVF 3’s Initial Shareholders are not entitled to participate in any redemption or distribution with respect to such shares. Such Founder Shares had an aggregate market value of $79,280,000 based upon the closing price of $9.91 per Class A ordinary share on NASDAQ on April 25, 2022, the SVF 3 Record Date. Certain Founder Shares are subject to certain performance-based vesting provisions as described under “ The Business Combination —Other Agreements—Sponsor Letter Agreement. ”

| • |  | Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, SVF 3 consummated a private sale of 1,040,000 Class A ordinary shares (the “Private Placement”) at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Share to our Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of approximately $10,400,000. If we do not consummate a business combination transaction within the Completion Window, then the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Shares will be part of the liquidating distribution to the Public Shareholders and the Private Placement Shares held by the Sponsor will be worthless.

| • |  | If SVF 3 is unable to complete a business combination within the Completion Window, its officers will be personally liable under certain circumstances described herein to ensure that the proceeds in the Trust Account are not reduced by the claims of target businesses or claims of vendors or other entities that are owed money by SVF 3 for services rendered or contracted for or products sold to SVF 3. If SVF 3 consummates a business combination, on the other hand, SVF 3 will be liable for all such claims.

256

Table of Contents

| • |  | SVF 3’s directors and officers and their affiliates are entitled to reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection with certain activities on SVF 3’s behalf, such as identifying and investigating possible business targets and business combinations. However, if SVF 3 fails to consummate a business combination within the Completion Window, they will not have any claim against the Trust Account for such reimbursement. Accordingly, SVF 3 may not be able to reimburse these expenses if the Business Combination or another business combination is not consummated within the Completion Window.

| • |  | The continued indemnification of current directors and officers and the continuation of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance.

| • |  | Our Sponsor, officers and directors collectively (including entities controlled by officers and directors) have made an aggregate investment of $11,550,000, or $1.26 per SVF 3 ordinary share (including the 8,000,000 Founder Shares, the 1,040,000 Private Placement Shares and the purchase of 112,500 Public Shares in connection with the SVF 3 IPO). Such shares had an aggregate market value of $90,701,275 based upon the closing price of $9.91 per Class A ordinary share on NASDAQ on April 25, 2022, the SVF 3 Record Date (of which 150,000 Founder Shares and 112,500 Public Shares were held by our directors and officers, which had an aggregate market value of $2,601,375 based upon the closing price of $9.91 per Class A ordinary share on NASDAQ on April 25, 2022, the SVF 3 Record Date). As a result of the significantly lower investment per share of our Sponsor, directors and officers as compared with the investment per share of our Public Shareholders, a transaction which results in an increase in the value of the investment of our Sponsor, directors and officers may result in a decrease in the value of the investment of our Public Shareholders. These interests could, in theory, incentivize our Sponsor, directors and officers to complete a business combination with a less favorable target company or on terms less favorable to stockholders rather than liquidate.

| • |  | There will be no liquidating distributions from our Trust Account with respect to the Founder Shares or the Private Placement Shares if we fail to complete a business combination within the Completion Window. Our Sponsor purchased the Founder Shares prior to the SVF 3 IPO for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000, and transferred 50,000 Founder Shares to each of Michael Carpenter, Michael Tobin and Cristiana Falcone for aggregate consideration of $300.

| • |  | Following the Closing, the Sponsor would be entitled to the repayment of any Working Capital Loans and advances that have been made to SVF 3 and remain outstanding. On August 10, 2021, the Sponsor agreed to loan SVF 3 $2.0 million as a Working Capital Loan. On November 9, 2021, the Sponsor and SVF 3 agreed to amend this loan to increase the commitment by $1.0 million. If SVF 3 does not complete an initial business combination within the Completion Window, SVF 3 may use a portion of its working capital 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. Up to $2,000,000 of such loans may be convertible into Class A ordinary shares of the post-business combination entity at a price of $10.00 per share at the option of the lender.

| • |  | Our Initial Shareholders and our directors and officers have agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their Founders Shares and will not have rights to liquidating distributions with respect to their Private Placement Shares if SVF 3 fails to complete a business combination within the Completion Window.

| • |  | As of October 31, 2021, Walmart, Symbotic’s largest customer, holds a majority of the outstanding equity interests of Flipkart Internet Pvt Ltd, a company in which SoftBank Vision Fund II, an affiliate of SBIA, holds a minority interest.

In order to protect the amounts held in our Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to us if and to the extent any claims by a vendor for services rendered or products sold to us, or a prospective target business with which we have entered into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in our Trust Account. This liability will not apply with respect to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any
257

Table of Contents
right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in SVF 3’s Trust Account or to any claims under our indemnity of the underwriters of the offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. In addition, if we are able to complete a business combination within the Completion Window, our Initial Stockholders may receive a positive return on the 8,000,000 Founder Shares, which were acquired by our Sponsor for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000 prior to the SVF 3 IPO, and the 1,040,000 Private Placement Shares, which were acquired for an aggregate purchase price of $10,400,000 with the completion of the SVF 3 IPO, even if our Public Shareholders experience a negative return on their investment in our Class A ordinary shares after consummation of the Business Combination. However, if we are unable to complete our initial business combination within the Completion Window, our Sponsor may lose their investment of $13,424,700 made in respect of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Shares and Working Capital Loans.
The SVF 3 board of directors and the audit committee thereof was aware of and considered these interests, among other matters, in reaching the determination to approve the terms of the Business Combination and in recommending to SVF 3’s shareholders that they vote to approve the Business Combination.

ANTICIPATED ACCOUNTING TREATMENT
The Symbotic Founder, certain family members of the Symbotic Founder and certain affiliated entities and trusts of the Symbotic Founder and his family members, in the aggregate, under both the No Redemption and Redemptions to Minimum Cash Condition scenarios continue to control Warehouse before and after the Business Combination. The Business Combination will be accounted for as a reverse recapitalization, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded in accordance with GAAP.
Warehouse has been determined to be the accounting acquirer based on evaluation of the following facts and circumstances:

| • |  | The Symbotic Founder, certain family members of the Symbotic Founder and certain affiliated entities and trusts of the Symbotic Founder and his family members, in the aggregate, will have a majority of the voting power of the Post-Combination Company under both the No Redemption and Redemptions to Minimum Cash Condition scenarios;

| • |  | The Symbotic Founder, certain family members of the Symbotic Founder and certain affiliated entities and trusts of the Symbotic Founder and his family members, in the aggregate, will have the ability to nominate and represent majority of the Post-Combination Company’s Board; and

| • |  | Warehouse’s former management will comprise the vast majority of the management and executive positions of the Post-Combination Company.

Under this method of accounting, SVF 3 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 Warehouse issuing stock for the net assets of SVF 3, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of SVF 3 will be stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Operations prior to the Business Combination will be those of Warehouse.

THE MERGER AGREEMENT
This section describes the material terms of the Merger Agreement. The description in this section and elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Merger Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Annex A to this proxy statement/prospectus. This summary does not purport to be complete and may not contain all of the information about the Merger Agreement that is important to you. You are encouraged to read the Merger Agreement carefully and in its entirety. This section is not intended to provide you with any factual information about SVF 3 or Symbotic. Such information can be found elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.
Effects of the Business Combination
As a result of the Company Reorganization and the Business Combination, (i) prior to the Effective Time, Warehouse will merge with and into Symbotic Holdings, with Symbotic Holdings surviving the merger as Interim Symbotic, and (ii) at the Effective Time, Merger Sub will merge with and into Interim Symbotic with Interim Symbotic surviving the merger as a subsidiary of SVF 3. The Proposed Charter set forth as
Annex
B
to this proxy statement/prospectus and the Proposed Bylaws set forth as
Annex
C
will be the certificate of incorporation and bylaws (respectively) of the
Post-Combination
Company. On the Closing Date and prior to the Effective Time, SVF 3 will transfer by way of continuation from the Cayman Islands and domesticate as a Delaware corporation. Following the Domestication and simultaneously with the Business Combination, SVF 3 will change its corporate name to “Symbotic Inc.”
Merger Consideration
The aggregate consideration to be paid to unitholders of Warehouse in the Business Combination will be based on an Equity Value equal to the sum of (i) $4,500,000,000,
plus
(ii) the Repurchase Amount, which amount is currently $300,000,000,
plus
(iii) the Net Warrant Exercise Proceeds, which amount is currently $277,775,979.
Pursuant to the terms of the Company Merger Agreement, upon the effectiveness of the Company Reorganization, holders of each outstanding Warehouse Unit, other than any Warehouse Dissenting Units, will be entitled to receive a number of Interim Symbotic Common Units equal to (i) the amount such holder would have been entitled to receive had the Equity Value been distributed in cash pursuant to the Warehouse LLCA, divided by
(ii) $10.00.
Following the Business Combination, consistent with the Up-C structure, current Warehouse unitholders will hold their economic interests directly in New Symbotic Holdings. All other investors, including SVF 3 shareholders, will hold their economic interests through Symbotic Inc. Current Warehouse unitholders will also hold voting interests in Symbotic Inc. in the form of voting stock with no economic rights (including rights to dividends and distributions upon liquidation). Pursuant to the terms of the Proposed Charter, the number of shares of voting stock held by any unitholder must always equal the number of New Symbotic Holdings Common Units held by such holder. See “
Questions and Answers—Questions and Answers about the Business Combination—What is an “Up-C” Structure?
”
Accordingly, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, immediately after the consummation of the Company Reorganization, at the Effective Time, holders of each outstanding Interim Symbotic Common Unit will be entitled to receive a number of New Symbotic Holdings Common Units, equal to the Exchange Ratio.
The Symbotic Founder, certain family members of the Symbotic Founder and certain affiliated entities and trusts of the Symbotic Founder and his family members will also receive a number of shares of the Post-Combination Company’s
Class V-3
common stock, which has three votes per share, equal to the number of New Symbotic Holdings Common Units received by such holder, in exchange for payment by such holder to the Post-
262

Table of Contents
Combination Company of adequate consideration (in each case, not to exceed $0.00015 per share of the Post-Combination Company’s
Class V-3
common stock). Because the Class V-3 common stock will have three votes per share, the Symbotic Founder and certain affiliated entities and trusts of the Symbotic Founder and his family members, in the aggregate, will control 90.0% of the combined voting power of the outstanding common stock of Symbotic Inc. following the Closing. The other holders of Interim Symbotic Common Units will receive a number of shares of the Post-Combination Company’s
Class V-1
common stock, which has one vote per share (i.e., the same voting rights as Class A common stock), equal to the number of New Symbotic Holdings Common Units received by such holder, in exchange for payment by such holder to the Post-Combination Company of adequate consideration (in each case, not to exceed $0.0001 per share of the Post-Combination Company’s
Class V-1
common stock). Other than the number of votes per share, there will be no difference between the Post-Combination Company’s Class V-3 common stock and Class V-1 common stock.
The Post-Combination Company’s
Class V-3
common stock will automatically convert into the Post-Combination Company’s
Class V-1
common stock upon the earliest to occur of: (i) the first business day following seven years after the date on which the Proposed Charter becomes effective, (ii) the third business day following the approval of such conversion by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the then-outstanding shares of Class V-3 common stock entitled to vote thereon or (iii) the first business day following such time as the outstanding shares of Class V-3 common stock constitute less than five percent of the aggregate number of shares of the Post-Combination Company’s common stock then outstanding. Each share of the Post-Combination Company’s Class V-3 common stock may also be converted into one share of the Post-Combination Company’s Class V-1 common stock at the option of the holder thereof. The holders of outstanding New Symbotic Holdings Common Units as of the Effective Time will also have contingent rights to receive up to an aggregate of 20,000,000 Earnout Interests. Each holder will be entitled to receive their pro rata share of the Earnout Interests in three tranches upon the occurrence of the following milestones on or prior to the seventh anniversary of the Closing: (i) Triggering Event I; (ii) Triggering Event II; and (iii) Triggering Event III.
Each New Symbotic Holdings Common Unit may be redeemed by the holder thereof for shares of the Post-Combination Company’s Class A common stock (or an equivalent amount in cash, at the option of the Post-Combination Company, subject to the provisions of the New Symbotic Holdings LLC Agreement) at a value equal to the arithmetic mean of the volume-weighted average price of a share of the Post-Combination Company’s Class A common stock for the full five trading days immediately prior to the date of delivery of the applicable redemption notice, subject to certain exceptions. Upon such redemption, a number of the redeeming holder’s shares of the Post-Combination Company’s
Class V-3
common stock or
Class V-1
common stock, as applicable, equal to the number of the redeemed New Symbotic Holdings Common Units, will be transferred from such holder to the Post-Combination Company and cancelled by the Post-Combination Company.
No fractional shares of
Class V-3
common stock or
Class V-1
common stock will be issued by virtue of the Business Combination or the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. Each person who would otherwise be entitled to a fraction of a share of
Class V-3
common stock or
Class V-1
common stock (after aggregating all fractional shares of
Class V-3
common stock or
Class V-1
common stock that otherwise would be received by such holder) will instead have the number of shares of
Class V-3
common stock or
Class V-1
common stock issued to such person, rounded up or down in the aggregate to the nearest whole share of
Class V-3
common stock or
Class V-1
common stock, as applicable (with 0.5 of a unit or share, or greater, rounded up).
No later than the close of business on the second business day preceding the anticipated closing date, Warehouse will prepare and deliver to SVF 3 a statement describing (i) the allocation of the merger consideration between the holders of outstanding Warehouse Units and, (ii) each holder and the number of New Symbotic Holdings Common Units and shares of
Class V-1
common stock and
Class V-3
common stock receivable by such holder pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement. SVF 3 and Merger Sub will be entitled to rely fully on the information in the ownership allocation in issuing the merger consideration.

taxation, or any U.S. federal taxes other than income taxes (such as estate or gift tax consequences, the alternative minimum tax or the Medicare tax on investment income). Each of the foregoing is subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect. You should consult your tax advisors with respect to the application of U.S. federal tax laws to your particular situation, as well as any tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local or

We have not and do not intend to seek any rulings from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) regarding the Domestication, an exercise of redemption rights with respect to Public Shares, the Business Combination, or any other matters discussed herein. There can be no assurance that the IRS will not take positions concerning the tax consequences of the transactions that are inconsistent with the considerations discussed below or that any such positions would not be sustained by a court.
References in this discussion to “ordinary shares” refers to SVF 3 Class A ordinary shares and references in this discussion to “common stock” refers to Symbotic Inc. common stock.
If a partnership (or any entity or arrangement so characterized for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holds SVF 3 ordinary shares or Symbotic Inc. common stock, the tax treatment of such partnership and a person treated as a partner of such partnership will generally depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Partnerships holding any SVF 3 ordinary shares or Symbotic Inc. common stock and persons that are treated as partners of such partnerships should consult their tax advisors as to the particular U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Domestication, an exercise of redemption rights with respect to Public Shares and the Business Combination to them.
THE FOLLOWING IS FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY. ALL SHAREHOLDERS SHOULD CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS REGARDING THE TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE DOMESTICATION, AN EXERCISE OF REDEMPTION RIGHTS WITH RESPECT TO PUBLIC SHARES AND THE BUSINESS COMBINATION, INCLUDING THE EFFECTS OF U.S. FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL AND
NON-U.S.
TAX LAWS.
U.S. Holders
This section applies to you if you are a “U.S. holder.” A U.S. holder is a beneficial owner of SVF 3 ordinary shares or Symbotic Inc. common stock who or that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

| • |  | an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States;

| • |  | a corporation (or other entity taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia;

| • |  | an estate the income of which is includible in gross income for U.S. federal income tax purposes regardless of its source; or

| • |  | a trust, if (i) a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and one or more U.S. persons (as defined in the Code) have authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (ii) it has a valid election in effect under Treasury regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.

Consequences of the Domestication to U.S. Holders—F Reorganization
The U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Domestication will depend primarily upon whether the Domestication qualifies as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368 of the Code.
Under Section 368(a)(1)(F) of the Code, a reorganization (an “F Reorganization”) is a “mere change in identity, form or place of organization of one corporation, however effected.” Pursuant to the Domestication,
281

Table of Contents
SVF 3 will change its jurisdiction of incorporation from the Cayman Islands to Delaware, and, after the Domestication will change its name to Symbotic Inc.
It is intended that the Domestication qualify as an F Reorganization for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Based upon customary assumptions, as well as certain representations made by, and covenants and undertakings of, SVF 3, it is the opinion of Paul, Weiss that the Domestication should qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(F) of the Code. However, the completion of the Domestication is not conditioned upon the receipt of an opinion of counsel regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Domestication, and none of the parties to the Business Combination intends to request a ruling from the IRS regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Domestication. If any of the facts, assumptions, representations, covenants or undertakings by SVF 3 is incorrect, incomplete or inaccurate or is violated, the accuracy of the opinion may be affected and the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Domestication could differ from those described herein. The remainder of this discussion assumes the Domestication qualifies as an F Reorganization. However, due to the absence of direct guidance on the application of Section 368(a)(1)(F) of the Code to a statutory conversion of a corporation holding only investment-type assets such as SVF 3, including whether such a conversion is viewed for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a transaction involving two or more “investment companies” (for which tax-deferred “reorganization” treatment would not be available), this result is not entirely clear. Accordingly, due to the absence of such guidance, it is not possible to predict whether the IRS or a court considering the issue would take a contrary position.
Assuming the Domestication qualifies as an F Reorganization, U.S. holders generally will not recognize taxable gain or loss on the Domestication for U.S. federal income tax purposes, except as provided below under the caption headings “
—Effect of Section
367 to U.S. Holders
” and “
—PFIC Considerations
,” and the Domestication will be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as if SVF 3 (i) transferred all of its assets and liabilities to Symbotic Inc. in exchange for all of the outstanding common stock of Symbotic Inc.; and (ii) then distributed the common stock of Symbotic Inc. to the shareholders of SVF 3 in liquidation of SVF 3. The taxable year of SVF 3 will be deemed to end on the date of the Domestication.
Assuming the Domestication qualifies as an F Reorganization: (i) the tax basis of a share of Symbotic Inc. common stock received by a U.S. holder in the Domestication will equal the U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in the SVF 3 ordinary share surrendered in exchange therefor, increased by any amount included in the income of such U.S. holder as a result of Section 367 of the Code (as discussed below) and (ii) the holding period for a share of Symbotic Inc. common stock received by a U.S. holder will include such U.S. holder’s holding period for the SVF 3 ordinary share surrendered in exchange therefor.
If the Domestication fails to qualify as an F Reorganization, a U.S. holder generally would recognize gain or loss with respect to its SVF 3 ordinary shares in an amount equal to the difference between the fair market value of Symbotic Inc. common stock received in the Domestication and the U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in its SVF 3 ordinary shares surrendered in the Domestication. In such event, such U.S. holder’s basis in Symbotic Inc. common stock would be equal to their fair market value on the date of the Domestication, and such U.S. holder’s holding period for Symbotic Inc. common stock would begin on the day following the date of the Domestication. Shareholders who hold different blocks of SVF 3 ordinary shares (generally, ordinary shares of SVF 3 purchased or acquired on different dates or at different prices) should consult their tax advisors to determine how the above rules apply to them.
Because the Domestication will occur prior to the redemption of U.S. holders that exercise redemption rights with respect to their Public Shares, U.S. holders exercising such redemption rights will be subject to the potential tax consequences of the Domestication. All U.S. holders considering exercising such redemption rights are urged to consult with their tax advisors with respect to the potential tax consequences of the Domestication and an exercise of such redemption rights to them.
ALL U.S. HOLDERS CONSIDERING EXERCISING REDEMPTION RIGHTS WITH RESPECT TO PUBLIC SHARES ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS WITH RESPECT TO
282

Table of Contents
THE POTENTIAL TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE DOMESTICATION AND AN EXERCISE OF SUCH REDEMPTION RIGHTS TO THEM.
Effect of Section 367 to U.S. Holders
Section 367 of the Code applies to certain
non-recognition
transactions involving foreign corporations, including a domestication of a foreign corporation in an F Reorganization. Section 367 of the Code imposes income tax on certain U.S. persons in connection with transactions that would otherwise be
tax-free.
Section 367(b) of the Code generally will apply to U.S. holders that exchange SVF 3 ordinary shares for Symbotic Inc. common stock as part of the Domestication. Because the Domestication will occur immediately prior to the redemption of holders that exercise redemption rights with respect to their Public Shares, U.S. holders exercising such redemption rights will be subject to the potential tax consequences of Section 367 of the Code as a result of the Domestication.
U.S. Holders That Own Less Than 10 Percent of SVF 3
A U.S. holder who, at the time of the Domestication, beneficially owns (directly, indirectly, or constructively, including as a result of applicable attribution rules) SVF 3 ordinary shares with a fair market value of $50,000 or more but less than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of SVF 3 ordinary shares entitled to vote and less than 10% of the total value of all classes of SVF 3 ordinary shares, will generally recognize gain (but not loss) with respect to the Symbotic Inc. common stock received in the Domestication unless such holder elects to recognize the “all earnings and profits” amount attributable to such holder as described below. Complex attribution rules apply in determining whether a U.S. holder owns 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of our ordinary shares entitled to vote or owns 10% or more of the total value of all classes of our ordinary shares. All U.S. holders are urged to consult their tax advisors with respect to those attribution rules.
Unless a U.S. holder makes the “all earnings and profits” election as described below, such holder generally must recognize gain (but not loss) with respect to its SVF 3 ordinary shares exchanged for Symbotic Inc. common stock pursuant to the Domestication. Any such gain would be equal to the excess of the fair market value of such Symbotic Inc. common stock received over the U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in the SVF 3 ordinary shares deemed to be surrendered in exchange therefor. Subject to the PFIC rules discussed below, such gain would be capital gain, and should be long-term capital gain if the U.S. holder held the SVF 3 ordinary shares for longer than one year.
In lieu of recognizing any gain as described in the preceding paragraph, a U.S. holder may elect to include in income the all earnings and profits amount attributable to its SVF 3 ordinary shares. There are, however, strict conditions for making this election. This election must comply with applicable Treasury Regulations and generally must include, among other things:

| • |  | a statement that the Domestication is a Section 367(b) exchange;

| • |  | a complete description of the Domestication;

| • |  | a description of any stock, securities or other consideration transferred or received in the Domestication;

| • |  | a statement describing the amounts required to be taken into account for U.S. federal income tax purposes as income or as an adjustment to basis, earnings and profits or other tax attributes;

| • |  | a statement that the U.S. holder is making the election that includes (A) a copy of the information that the U.S. holder received from SVF 3 (or Symbotic Inc.) establishing and substantiating the U.S. holder’s all earnings and profits amount with respect to the U.S. holder’s SVF 3 ordinary shares, and (B) a representation that the U.S. holder has notified SVF 3 (or Symbotic Inc.) that the U.S. holder is making the election; and

283

Table of Contents

| • |  | certain other information required to be furnished with the U.S. holder’s tax return or otherwise furnished pursuant to the Code or the Treasury Regulations.

The election must be attached by the U.S. holder to its timely filed U.S. federal income tax return for the year of the Domestication, and the U.S. holder must send notice of making the election to Symbotic Inc. no later than the date such tax return is filed. In connection with this election, SVF 3 intends to provide each U.S. holder eligible to make such an election with information regarding SVF 3’s earnings and profits upon request. SVF 3 does not expect that SVF 3’s cumulative earnings and profits will be material at the time of domestication.
U.S. HOLDERS ARE STRONGLY URGED TO CONSULT A TAX ADVISOR REGARDING THE CONSEQUENCES OF MAKING THE ELECTION DESCRIBED ABOVE AND THE APPROPRIATE FILING REQUIREMENTS WITH RESPECT TO SUCH ELECTION.
U.S. Holders that Own SVF 3 Ordinary Shares with a Fair Market Value of Less Than $50,000
A U.S. holder who, at the time of the Domestication, owns (or is considered to own) SVF 3 ordinary shares with a fair market value of less than $50,000 should not be required to recognize any gain or loss under Section 367(b) of the Code in connection with the Domestication, and generally should not be required to include any part of the all earnings and profits amount in income.
ALL U.S. HOLDERS ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS REGARDING THE U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL AND FOREIGN TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE DOMESTICATION TO THEM.
PFIC Considerations
In addition to Section 367(b) of the Code, the Domestication may be a taxable event to U.S. holders to the extent that Section 1291(f) of the Code applies, if SVF 3 is or ever was a PFIC under Section 1297 of the Code.
General
A foreign corporation generally will be a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes with respect to a taxable year of the foreign corporation if:

| • |  | at least 75% of its gross income in such taxable year, including its pro rata share of the gross income of any corporation in which it is considered to own at least 25% of the shares by value, is passive income; or

| • |  | at least 50% of its assets in such taxable year, ordinarily determined based on fair market value and averaged quarterly over the year, including its pro rata share of the assets of any corporation in which it is considered to own at least 25% of the shares by value, are held for the production of, or produce, passive income.

Passive income generally includes dividends, interest, rents and royalties (other than rents or royalties derived from the active conduct of a trade or business) and gains from the disposition of passive assets.
Based upon the composition of its income and assets, SVF 3 believes that it is likely classified as a PFIC.
Consequences if a PFIC
If SVF 3 is determined to be a PFIC for any taxable year (or portion thereof) that is included in the holding period of a U.S. holder of SVF 3’s ordinary shares and the U.S. holder did not make a timely qualified electing fund (“QEF”) election for SVF 3’s first taxable year as a PFIC in which the U.S. holder held (or was deemed to hold) such ordinary shares, a QEF election along with a “purging election,” or did not make a timely
284

Table of Contents
mark-to-market
election as discussed below, then as described below, such holder generally will be subject to special rules with respect to: (i) any gain recognized by the U.S. holder on the sale or other disposition of its SVF 3 ordinary shares; and (ii) any “excess distribution” made to the U.S. holder (generally, any distributions to such U.S. holder during a taxable year of the U.S. holder that are greater than 125% of the average annual distributions received by such U.S. holder in respect of the ordinary shares during the three preceding taxable years of such U.S. holder or, if shorter, such U.S. holder’s holding period for the SVF 3 ordinary shares).
Under these rules:

| • |  | the U.S. holder’s gain or excess distribution will be allocated ratably over the U.S. holder’s holding period for the SVF 3 ordinary shares;

| • |  | the amount of gain allocated to the U.S. holder’s taxable year in which the U.S. holder recognized the gain or received the excess distribution, or to the period in the U.S. holder’s holding period before the first day of the first taxable year in which SVF 3 is a PFIC, will be taxed as ordinary income;

| • |  | the amount of gain allocated to other taxable years (or portions thereof) of the U.S. holder and included in its holding period will be taxed at the highest tax rate in effect for that year and applicable to the U.S. holder; and

| • |  | the interest charge generally applicable to underpayments of tax will be imposed in respect of the tax attributable to each such other taxable year of the U.S. holder.

QEF Election
In general, if SVF 3 is determined to be a PFIC, a U.S. holder may avoid the PFIC tax consequences described above in respect to its SVF 3 ordinary shares by making a timely QEF election to include in income its pro rata share of SVF 3’s net capital gains (as long-term capital gain) and other earnings and profits (as ordinary income), on a current basis, in each case whether or not distributed, in each taxable year of the U.S. holder in which or with which SVF 3’s taxable year ends. The QEF election is made on a
shareholder-by-shareholder
basis and, once made, can be revoked only with the consent of the IRS. A U.S. holder generally makes a QEF election by attaching a completed IRS Form 8621 (Return by a Shareholder of a Passive Foreign Investment Company or Qualified Electing Fund), including the information provided in a “PFIC Annual Information Statement,” to a timely filed U.S. federal income tax return for the tax year to which the election relates. Retroactive QEF elections generally may be made only by filing a protective statement with such return and if certain other conditions are met or with the consent of the IRS. U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the availability and tax consequences of a retroactive QEF election under their particular circumstances. However, in order to comply with the requirements of a QEF election, a U.S. holder must receive a PFIC annual information statement from SVF 3. Upon written request, SVF 3 will endeavor to provide to a U.S. holder such information as the IRS may require, including a PFIC annual information statement, in order to enable the U.S. holder to make and maintain a QEF election, but there can be no assurance that we will timely provide such required information.
Mark-to-Market
Election
Alternatively, if a U.S. holder, at the close of its taxable year, owns shares in a PFIC that are treated as marketable stock, the U.S. holder may make a
mark-to-market
election with respect to such shares for such taxable year. If the U.S. holder makes a valid
mark-to-market
election for the first taxable year of the U.S. holder in which the U.S. holder holds (or is deemed to hold) SVF 3 ordinary shares and for which SVF 3 is determined to be a PFIC, such holder generally will not be subject to the PFIC rules described above in respect of its ordinary shares. Instead, in general, the U.S. holder will include as ordinary income each year the excess, if any, of the fair market value of its ordinary shares at the end of its taxable year over the adjusted basis in its ordinary shares. The U.S. holder also will be allowed to take an ordinary loss in respect of the excess, if any, of the adjusted basis of its ordinary shares over the fair market value of its ordinary shares at the end of its taxable year
285

Table of Contents
(but only to the extent of the net amount of previously included income, i.e., net of
mark-to-market
losses, as a result of the
mark-to-market
election). The U.S. holder’s basis in its SVF 3 ordinary shares will be adjusted to reflect any such income or loss amounts, and any further gain recognized on a sale or other taxable disposition of the SVF 3 ordinary shares will be treated as ordinary income.
The
mark-to-market
election is available only for stock that is regularly traded on a national securities exchange that is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the New York Stock Exchange (on which SVF 3 ordinary shares have been listed), or on a foreign exchange or market that the IRS determines has rules sufficient to ensure that the market price represents a legitimate and sound fair market value. U.S. holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the availability and tax consequences of a
mark-to-market
election in respect to our ordinary shares under their particular circumstances.
Effect of PFIC Rules on the Domestication
Even if the Domestication qualifies as an F Reorganization, Section 1291(f) of the Code requires that, to the extent provided in Treasury Regulations, a U.S. person that disposes of stock of a PFIC (including rights to acquire stock of a PFIC) must recognize gain notwithstanding any other provision of the Code. No final Treasury Regulations are currently in effect under Section 1291(f) of the Code. Proposed Treasury Regulations under Section 1291(f), or the “Proposed Regulations,” were promulgated in 1992, with a retroactive effective date once they become finalized. If finalized in their current form, the Proposed Regulations may require taxable gain recognition by a U.S. holder subject to the PFIC rules with respect to its exchange of SVF 3 ordinary shares for Symbotic Inc. common stock in the Domestication if SVF 3 were classified as a PFIC at any time during such U.S. holder’s holding period in SVF 3 ordinary shares. Therefore, U.S. holders of SVF 3 ordinary shares that have not made a timely QEF election or a
mark-to-market
election (as described above) may, pursuant to the Proposed Regulations, be subject to taxation on the Domestication to the extent their shares have a fair market value in excess of their tax basis. Any such gain would generally be treated as an “excess distribution” made in the year of the Domestication and subject to the special tax and interest charge rules discussed above.
It is difficult to predict whether, in what form and with what effective date, final Treasury Regulations under Section 1291(f) of the Code will be adopted. The rules dealing with PFIC and with the QEF election and purging election (or a
mark-to-market
election) are very complex and are affected by various factors in addition to those described above. Accordingly, a U.S. holder of SVF 3 ordinary shares should consult its tax advisors concerning the application of the PFIC rules to such securities under such holder’s particular circumstances.
Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders That Elect to Exercise Redemption Rights
This section is addressed to U.S. holders of SVF 3 ordinary shares (which will be exchanged for Symbotic Inc. common stock in the Domestication) that elect to exercise redemption rights to receive cash in exchange for SVF 3 ordinary shares and is subject in its entirety to the discussion of the Domestication, the PFIC rules and Section 367 of the Code as discussed above.
The U.S. federal income tax consequences to a U.S. holder of SVF 3 ordinary shares (which become Symbotic Inc. common stock in the Domestication) that exercises its redemption rights to receive cash from the Trust Account in exchange for all or a portion of its common stock will depend on whether the redemption qualifies as a sale of the Symbotic Inc. common stock redeemed under Section 302 of the Code or is treated as a distribution under Section 301 of the Code. If the redemption qualifies as a sale of such U.S. holder’s Symbotic Inc. common stock redeemed, the holder will generally recognize capital gain or capital loss equal to the difference, if any, between the amount of cash received and such holder’s tax basis in the Symbotic Inc. common stock redeemed (which basis will depend on the treatment of the Domestication, including under Section 367 and the PFIC rules, as described above).
Whether a redemption qualifies for sale treatment will depend largely on the total amount of Symbotic Inc. common stock treated as held by the U.S. holder (including any shares constructively owned by the U.S. holder)
286

Table of Contents
relative to all of Symbotic Inc. common stock outstanding both before and after the redemption. The redemption of Symbotic Inc. common stock will generally be treated as a sale of the Symbotic Inc. common stock (rather than as a corporate distribution) if the redemption (i) is “substantially disproportionate” with respect to the U.S. holder, (ii) results in a “complete termination” of the U.S. holder’s interest in Symbotic Inc. or (iii) is “not essentially equivalent to a dividend” with respect to the U.S. holder.
In determining whether any of the foregoing tests are satisfied, a U.S. holder takes into account not only Symbotic Inc. common stock actually owned by the U.S. holder, but also Symbotic Inc. common stock constructively owned by the U.S. holder. A U.S. holder may constructively own, in addition to shares owned directly, shares owned by certain related individuals and entities in which the U.S. holder has an interest or that have an interest in such U.S. holder, as well as any shares the U.S. holder has a right to acquire by exercise of an option.
In order to meet the substantially disproportionate test, the percentage of the Symbotic Inc. outstanding voting shares actually and constructively owned by the U.S. holder immediately following the redemption of Symbotic Inc. common stock must, among other requirements, be less than 80% of the percentage of the Symbotic Inc. outstanding voting shares actually and constructively owned by the U.S. holder immediately before the redemption. Prior to the Business Combination, the SVF 3 ordinary shares and Symbotic Inc. common stock may not be considered voting shares for this purpose and, consequently, this substantially disproportionate test may not be applicable. There will be a complete termination of such U.S. holder’s interest if either (i) all of the Symbotic Inc. common stock actually and constructively owned by such U.S. holder is redeemed or (ii) all of the Symbotic Inc. common stock actually owned by such U.S. holder is redeemed and such U.S. holder is eligible to waive, and effectively waives in accordance with specific rules, the attribution of any Symbotic Inc. common stock actually and constructively owned by certain family members and such U.S. holder does not constructively own any other Symbotic Inc. common stock and otherwise complies with specific conditions. The redemption of common stock will not be essentially equivalent to a dividend if the redemption results in a “meaningful reduction” of the U.S. holder’s proportionate interest in Symbotic Inc. Whether the redemption will result in a meaningful reduction in a U.S. holder’s proportionate interest in Symbotic Inc. will depend on the particular facts and circumstances. However, the IRS has indicated in a published ruling that even a small reduction in the proportionate interest of a minority stockholder in a publicly held corporation who exercises no control over corporate affairs may constitute such a “meaningful reduction.”
If the redemption does not qualify as a sale of the Symbotic Inc. common stock redeemed, the U.S. holder will be treated as receiving a corporate distribution from Symbotic Inc. Such distribution will generally be treated as a dividend for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent the distribution is paid out of Symbotic Inc.’s current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles). Distributions in excess of any such earnings and profits will generally be applied against and reduce the U.S. holder’s basis in its other Symbotic Inc. common stock (but not below zero) and, to the extent in excess of such basis, will be treated as capital gain from the sale or exchange of such redeemed shares. After the application of these rules, any remaining tax basis of the U.S. holder in such holder’s redeemed Symbotic Inc. common stock will generally be added to the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its remaining Symbotic Inc. common stock, or, if it has none, possibly to the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in other Symbotic Inc. common stock shares constructively owned by such holder.
Because the Domestication will occur immediately prior to the redemption of U.S. holders that exercise Redemption Rights, U.S. holders exercising Redemption Rights will be subject to the potential tax consequences of Section 367 of the Code as a result of the Domestication discussed further above.
U.S. holders who actually or constructively own five percent or more of Symbotic Inc. stock (by vote or value) may be subject to special reporting requirements with respect to a redemption, and such holders should consult with their tax advisors with respect to any applicable reporting requirements.
287

All U.S. holders are urged to consult with their tax advisors as to the tax consequences of a redemption of all or a portion of their Symbotic Inc. common stock pursuant to an exercise of redemption rights for its Public Shares.
Effect of the Business Combination on U.S. Holders of Symbotic Inc. Common Stock
U.S. holders that hold Symbotic Inc. common stock after the Domestication should not recognize gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes solely as a result of the Business Combination.
Non-U.S.
Holders
The following describes U.S. federal income tax considerations relating to the ownership and disposition of Symbotic Inc. common stock by a
Non-U.S.
holder after the Domestication. As used herein, the term
“Non-U.S.
holder” means a beneficial owner of Symbotic Inc. common stock who or that is for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

| • |  | a non-resident alien individual (other than certain former citizens and residents of the U.S. subject to U.S. tax as expatriates);

| • |  | a foreign corporation; or

| • |  | an estate or trust that is not a U.S. holder;

but generally does not include an individual who is present in the U.S. for 183 days or more in the relevant taxable year. If you are such an individual, you should consult your tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership and sale or other disposition of our securities.
Taxation of Distributions
In general, any distributions we make to a
Non-U.S.
holder of shares of Symbotic, Inc. common stock, to the extent paid out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles), will constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Provided such dividends are not effectively connected with the
Non-U.S.
holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States (and are not attributable to a U.S. permanent establishment under an applicable treaty), we or the applicable withholding agent will be required to withhold tax from the gross amount of the dividend at a rate of 30%, unless such
Non-U.S.
holder is eligible for a reduced rate of withholding tax under an applicable income tax treaty and provides proper certification of its eligibility for such reduced rate (usually on an IRS Form
W-8BEN
or
W-8BEN-E).
Any distribution not constituting a dividend will be treated first as reducing (but not below zero) the
Non-U.S.
holder’s adjusted tax basis in its shares of Symbotic, Inc. common stock and, to the extent such distribution exceeds the
Non-U.S.
holder’s adjusted tax basis, as gain realized from the sale or other disposition of the Symbotic, Inc. common stock, which will be treated as described under “
—Gain on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Symbotic Inc. Common Stock
” below. In addition, if we or the applicable withholding agent determine that we are likely to be classified as a “U.S. real property holding corporation” (see “
—Gain on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Symbotic, Inc. Common Stock
” below), we or the applicable withholding agent may withhold 15% of any distribution that exceeds our current and accumulated earnings and profits.
Dividends that we pay to a
Non-U.S.
holder that are effectively connected with such
Non-U.S.
holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States (or if a tax treaty applies, are attributable to a U.S. permanent establishment or fixed base maintained by the
Non-U.S.
holder) will generally not be subject to U.S. withholding tax, provided such
Non-U.S.
holder complies with certain certification and disclosure requirements (usually by providing an IRS Form
W-8ECI).
Instead, the effectively connected dividends will be subject to regular U.S. income tax as if the
Non-U.S.
holder were a U.S. resident, subject to an applicable income tax treaty providing otherwise. A
Non-U.S.
corporation receiving effectively connected dividends may also be subject to an additional “branch profits tax” imposed at a rate of 30% (or a lower treaty rate).

Gain on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Symbotic Inc. Common Stock
A
Non-U.S.
holder generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income or withholding tax in respect of gain realized on a sale, taxable exchange or other taxable disposition of Symbotic, Inc. common stock, unless:

| • |  | the gain is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business by the Non-U.S. holder within the United States (and, under certain income tax treaties, is attributable to a United States permanent establishment or fixed base maintained by the Non-U.S. holder); or

| • |  | we are or have been a “United States real property holding corporation” for U.S. federal income tax purposes at any time during the shorter of the five-year period ending on the date of disposition or the period that the Non-U.S. holder held Symbotic, Inc. common stock, and, in the case where shares of Symbotic, Inc. common stock are regularly traded on an established securities market, the Non-U.S. holder has owned, directly or constructively, more than 5% of Symbotic, Inc. common stock at any time within the shorter of the five-year period preceding the disposition or such Non-U.S. holder’s holding period for the shares of Symbotic, Inc. common stock. There can be no assurance that Symbotic, Inc. common stock will be treated as regularly traded on an established securities market for this purpose.

Unless an applicable treaty provides otherwise, gain described in the first bullet point above will be subject to tax at generally applicable U.S. federal income tax rates as if the
Non-U.S.
holder were a U.S. resident. Any gains described in the first bullet point above of a
Non-U.S.
holder that is a foreign corporation may also be subject to an additional “branch profits tax” at a 30% rate (or lower treaty rate).
If the second bullet point above applies to a
Non-U.S.
holder, gain recognized by such holder on the sale, exchange or other disposition of Symbotic, Inc. common stock will be subject to tax at generally applicable U.S. federal income tax rates. In addition, if Symbotic, Inc. common stock will not be treated as regularly traded on an established securities market, then a buyer of Symbotic, Inc. common stock from such holder may be required to withhold U.S. federal income tax at a rate of 15% of the amount realized upon such disposition. We can provide no assurance as to our future status as a United States real property holding corporation. We will be classified as a United States real property holding corporation if the fair market value of our “United States real property interests” equals or exceeds 50% of the sum of the fair market value of our worldwide real property interests plus our other assets used or held for use in a trade or business, as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
Tax Consequences to
Non-U.S.
Holders That Elect to Exercise Redemption Rights
This section is addressed to
Non-U.S.
holders of Symbotic Inc. common stock that elect to exercise redemption rights to receive cash in exchange for all or a portion of their Symbotic Inc. common stock. For purposes of this discussion, a “redeeming
Non-U.S.
holder” is a
Non-U.S.
holder that elects to exercise such redemption rights in respect of all or a portion of its common stock.
Because the Domestication will occur immediately prior to the redemption of
Non-U.S.
holders that exercise Redemption Rights with respect to Symbotic Inc. common stock, the U.S. federal income tax consequences to a redeeming
Non-U.S.
holder will depend on whether the redemption qualifies as a sale of the Symbotic Inc. common stock redeemed, as described above under “
—U.S. Holders—Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders That Elect to Exercise Redemption Rights.
” If such a redemption qualifies as a sale of Symbotic Inc. common stock, the U.S. federal income tax consequences to the redeeming
Non-U.S.
holder generally will be as described above under “
—Gain on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Symbotic Inc. Stock
.” If such a redemption does not qualify as a sale of Symbotic Inc. common stock, the redeeming
Non-U.S.
holder generally will be treated as receiving a distribution, the U.S. federal income tax consequences of which are described above under “—
Taxation of Distributions
.”
ALL
NON-U.S.
HOLDERS ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS REGARDING THE U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL AND FOREIGN TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE DOMESTICATION TO THEM.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding.
Information returns will be filed with the IRS in connection with payments of dividends and the proceeds from a sale or other disposition of Symbotic, Inc. common stock. A
Non-U.S.
holder may have to comply with certification procedures to establish that it is not a United States person in order to avoid information reporting and backup withholding requirements. The certification procedures required to claim a reduced rate of withholding under a treaty will satisfy the certification requirements necessary to avoid the backup withholding as well. The amount of any backup withholding from a payment to a
Non-U.S.
holder will be allowed as a credit against such holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle such holder to a refund, provided that the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.
FATCA Withholding Taxes.
Provisions commonly referred to as “FATCA” impose withholding of 30% on payments of dividends on Symbotic, Inc. common stock to “foreign financial institutions” (which is broadly defined for this purpose and in general includes investment vehicles) and certain other
non-U.S.
entities unless various U.S. information reporting and due diligence requirements (generally relating to ownership by U.S. persons of interests in or accounts with those entities) have been satisfied by, or an exemption applies to, the payee (typically certified as to by the delivery of a properly completed IRS Form
W-8BEN-E).
The IRS has issued proposed regulations (on which taxpayers may rely until final regulations are issued) that provide that these withholding requirements would generally not apply to gross proceeds from sales or other dispositions of Symbotic, Inc. common stock. Foreign financial institutions located in jurisdictions that have an intergovernmental agreement with the United States governing FATCA may be subject to different rules. Under certain circumstances, a
Non-U.S.
holder might be eligible for refunds or credits of such withholding taxes, and a
Non-U.S.
holder might be required to file a U.S. federal income tax return to claim such refunds or credits. Prospective investors should consult their tax advisors regarding the effects of FATCA on their investment in our securities.

COMPARISON OF EQUITYHOLDERS’ RIGHTS
General
Warehouse is incorporated under the laws of the State of New Hampshire and the rights of Warehouse unitholders are governed by the laws of the State of New Hampshire, including the New Hampshire Revised Limited Liability Company Act (the “NH LLC Act”) and the Warehouse LLCA. As a result of the Business Combination, Warehouse unitholders who receive shares of Post-Combination Company’s common stock will become stockholders of the Post-Combination Company. The Post-Combination Company is incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware and the rights of Post-Combination Company stockholders are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, including the DGCL, the Proposed Charter and the Proposed Bylaws. Thus, following the Business Combination, the rights of Warehouse unitholders who become Post-Combination Company stockholders in the Business Combination will continue to be governed by Delaware law but will no longer be governed by the Warehouse LLCA and instead will be governed by the Proposed Charter and the Proposed Bylaws.
Comparison of Equityholders’ Rights
Set forth below is a summary comparison of material differences between the rights of Warehouse unitholders under the Warehouse LLCA, and the rights of Post-Combination Company stockholders under forms of the Proposed Charter and the Proposed Bylaws. The summary set forth below is not intended to be complete or to provide a comprehensive discussion of each company’s governing documents. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Warehouse LLCA, and forms of the Proposed Charter, which is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as
Annex
B
, and the Proposed Bylaws, which is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as

Unitholder/Stockholder Action by Written Consent
Any action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of the board or the members may be taken without a meeting if, prior to the action, written consents describing the action to be taken are signed by the minimum number of managers or members that would be necessary to authorize the action at a meeting at which all managers or members entitled to vote thereon were present and voting. |  | Except with respect to the rights of any preferred stock provide in a certificate of designation from time to time, the Proposed Charter provides that any action required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders of the Post-Combination Company must be effected at any annual or special meeting of stockholders may not be taken by written consent in lieu of a meeting.
Limitation of Liability of Managers/Directors and Officers
No manager or any officer shall be personally liable, as such, for any action taken or omitted from being taken unless: (i) such manager or officer willfully breached or failed to perform the duties of his or her office; and (ii) the breach or failure to perform constituted recklessness, self-dealing or willful misconduct. The foregoing shall not apply to any responsibility or liability under a criminal statute or liability for the payment of taxes under federal, state, or local law. |  | A director of the Post-Combination Company shall not be personally liable to Post-Combination Company or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except to the extent such exemption from liability or limitation thereof is not permitted under the DGCL. The amendment, restatement, amendment and restatement, other modification or repeal of this provision in the Proposed Charter shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a director of the Post-Combination Company with respect to any act or omission occurring prior to such amendment, restatement, amendment and restatement, other modification or repeal. If the DGCL is amended after approval by the stockholders of this provision in the Proposed Charter to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the liability of a director of the Corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL as so amended.
Indemnification of Managers/Directors, Officers, Employees and Agents
In accordance with the NH LLC Act, Warehouse shall indemnify and hold harmless any member, any manager, employee, agent or affiliate thereof and each officer of Warehouse (individually, in each case, an “indemnitee”) to the fullest extent permitted by law from and against any and all losses, claims, demands, costs, damages, |  | The Post-Combination Company will indemnify any person for any proceeding by reason of being a director or officer of the Post-Combination Company or, while a director or officer, is or was serving at the request of the Post-Combination Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another

liabilities (joint or several), expenses of any nature (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements), judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts arising from any and all claims, demands, actions, suits or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, in which such indemnitee may be involved or threatened to be involved, as a party or otherwise, arising out of or incidental to the business or activities of or relating to Warehouse, regardless of whether such indemnitee continues to be a member, or a member, officer, employee, agent or an affiliate thereof, or an officer of Warehouse at the time any such liability or expense is paid or incurred; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not eliminate or limit the liability of any indemnitee, and Warehouse shall not indemnify any indemnitee (i) for any breach of such indemnitee’s duty of loyalty to Warehouse or the members, (ii) for acts or omissions which involve gross negligence, willful misconduct or a knowing violation of law or the LLCA, or (iii) for any transaction from which such indemnitee received any improper personal benefit; provided, further, that, except with respect to proceedings to enforce rights of indemnification or advancement pursuant to this Article IX, Warehouse shall indemnify any indemnitee in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such indemnitee only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the board of managers. Section 304-C:116, I of the NH LLC Act provides that an LLC may provide indemnification to a member, manager or other person if the person being indemnified conducted himself/herself in accordance with contractual good faith and if that same person reasonably believed his/her conduct was not opposed to the best interest of the LLC. Additionally, a restriction not specifically included in the LLCA but covered by Section 304-C:116, II(a) of the NH LLC Act, is that an LLC may not indemnify a member, manager or other person in connection with a proceeding by or in the right of the LLC in which the person was judged liable to the LLC. |  | corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan, fund, other enterprise or nonprofit entity if such proceeding or part thereof was authorized by Post-Combination Company’s board of directors. The right to indemnification covers all liability and loss suffered and expenses (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) excise taxes and penalties and amounts paid in settlement) reasonably incurred by such indemnitee in connection with such proceeding. It also includes the right to be paid by Post-Combination Company the expenses (including attorney’s fees) incurred in defending or otherwise participating in any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition; provided, however, that, if required by law, an advancement of expenses will be made only upon delivery to Post-Combination Company of an undertaking, by or on behalf of the indemnitee, to repay all amounts so advanced if it will ultimately be determined that the indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified. Such rights will continue as to an indemnitee who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and will inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and administrators.
Dividends, Distributions and Unit/Stock Repurchases
The board has the authority to retain and reinvest the cash from Warehouse’s operations and dispositions of its assets.

Except with respect to certain stock dividends, dividends of cash or property may not be declared or paid on shares of the Post-Combination Company’s Class V-1 common stock or Class V-3 common stock.
Liquidation
The proceeds of liquidation shall be distributed in the following order and priority: first, to creditors of Warehouse, including members, or their respective affiliates, who are creditors, to the extent permitted by law, in satisfaction of liabilities of Warehouse (whether by payment or the making of reasonable provision for payment thereof) other than liabilities for which reasonable provision for payment has been made; and second to the holders of units in accordance with Section 5.2(a) of the LLCA. |  | The Proposed Charter provides that, in the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Post-Combination Company, the funds and assets of the Post-Combination Company that may be legally distributed to the its stockholders shall be distributed among the holders of shares of the Post-Combination Company’s Class A common stock and Class B common stock pro rata in accordance with the number of shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock held by each such holder, subject to the rights and preferences of any holders of any shares of any outstanding series of preferred stock. Without limiting the rights of the holders of the Post-Combination Company’s Class V-1 common stock and Class V-3 common stock to exchange their shares of Class V-1 common stock and Class V-3 common stock, respectively, together with the corresponding New Symbotic Holdings Common Units, for shares of Class A common stock pursuant to the New Symbotic Holdings LLC Agreement, the holders of shares of Class V-1 common stock and Class V-3 common stock shall not be entitled to receive any assets of the Post-Combination Company in the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Post-Combination Company.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK OF THE
POST-COMBINATION
COMPANY
Your rights as a Post-Combination Company stockholder will be governed by Delaware law, the Proposed Charter and the Post-Combination Company’s bylaws. The following description of the material terms of the
Post-Combination
Company’s capital stock reflects the anticipated state of affairs upon completion of the Business Combination. We urge you to read the applicable provisions of Delaware law as well as the Proposed Charter and Proposed Bylaws, attached as
Annex B
and
Annex C
to this proxy statement/prospectus, respectively, carefully and in their entirety because they describe your rights as a
Post-Combination
Company stockholder.
Authorized and Outstanding Stock
The Proposed Charter authorizes the issuance of shares, each with a par value of $0.0001 per share, consisting of:

| • |  | 3,000,000,000 shares of Class A common stock;

| • |  | 8,000,000 shares of Class B common stock;

| • |  | 1,000,000,000 shares of Class V-1 common stock;

| • |  | 450,000,000 shares of Class V-3 common stock; and

| • |  | 50,000,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock.

Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock
As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, there are 41,040,000 SVF 3 ordinary shares issued and outstanding, including 8,000,000 SVF 3 Class B ordinary shares, each of which will be converted into one share of Class A common stock in the Post-Combination Company as a result of the Domestication and the Business Combination. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus (without giving effect to the Business Combination and assuming No Redemptions), assuming that each Class B ordinary share is converted into one Class A ordinary share, the SVF 3 fully diluted stock capital would be 41,040,000 ordinary shares.
Upon completion of the Business Combination, we expect that there will be 78,124,000 shares of Class A common stock outstanding, assuming No Redemptions, that 200,000 private placement shares are issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans and not including 3,616,000 shares subject to vesting requirements pursuant to the Sponsor Letter Agreement. All shares of Class A common stock will be fully paid and
non-assessable.
In connection with the Business Combination, each share of Class B common stock (into which each Class B ordinary share will convert in connection with the Domestication) will convert into one share of Class A common stock. Following such conversion, the reissuance of shares of Class B common stock will be prohibited, and such shares will be retired and cancelled. Upon such retirement and cancellation, all references to Class B common stock in the Proposed Charter will be eliminated. The descriptions that follow assume all Class B common stock have converted into Class A common stock and references to Class B common stock in the Proposed Charter have been eliminated.
Voting rights
. Each holder of Class A common stock is entitled to one vote for each share of Class A common stock held of record by such holder on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders. Holders of Class A common stock will vote together with other holders of common stock as a single class on all matters (or, if any holders of any series of preferred stock are entitled to vote together with the holders of common stock, as a single class with the holders of such series of preferred stock). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the holders of shares of any series of common stock will be entitled to vote as a separate class upon any amendment to the Proposed Charter (including by merger, consolidation, reorganization or similar event) that would adversely alter or change the powers, preferences or special rights of such series of common stock. Except as expressly required by law, holders of common stock, as such, will not be entitled to vote on any amendment to the Proposed Charter
297

(including any certificate of designation) that relates solely to the rights, powers, preferences (or the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof) or other terms of one or more outstanding series of preferred stock if the holders of such affected series are entitled, either separately or together with the holders of one or more other such series, to vote thereon pursuant to the Proposed Charter (including any certificate of designation) or pursuant to the DGCL.
Dividend rights
. Subject to the rights and preferences of any holders of any outstanding series of preferred stock, the holders of Class A common stock will be entitled to the payment of dividends and other distributions of cash, stock or property on the Class A common stock when, as and if declared by the board of directors in accordance with law.

then-outstanding
Class A common stock
pro rata
in accordance with the number of shares of Class A common stock held by each such holder.
Other rights
. The holders of Class A common stock have no preemptive or conversion rights or other subscription rights. There are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the Class A common stock. The rights, preferences and privileges of holders of the Class A common stock will be subject to those of the holders of any shares of the preferred stock the Post-Combination Company may issue in the future.
Class V-1
Common Stock and
Class V-3
Common Stock
Upon completion of the Business Combination, we expect that there will be 60,844,573 shares of
Class V-1
common stock and 416,933,024 shares of
Class V-3
common stock outstanding. All shares of
Class V-1
common stock and
Class V-3
common stock will be fully paid and
non-assessable.
Voting rights
. Each holder of
Class V-1
common stock is entitled to one vote for each share of
Class V-1
common stock held of record by such holder on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders, and each holder of
Class V-3
common stock is entitled to three votes for each share of
Class V-3
common stock held of record by such holder on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders. Holders of
Class V-1
common stock and
Class V-3
common stock will vote together with other holders of common stock as a single class on all matters (or, if any holders of any series of preferred stock are entitled to vote together with the holders of common stock, as a single class with the holders of such series of preferred stock). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the holders of shares of any series of common stock will be entitled to vote as a separate class upon any amendment to the Proposed Charter (including by merger, consolidation, reorganization or similar event) that would adversely alter or change the powers, preferences or special rights of such series of common stock. Except as expressly required by law, holders of common stock, as such, will not be entitled to vote on any amendment to the Proposed Charter (including any certificate of designation) that relates solely to the rights, powers, preferences (or the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof) or other terms of one or more outstanding series of preferred stock if the holders of such affected series are entitled, either separately or together with the holders of one or more other such series, to vote thereon pursuant to the Proposed Charter (including any certificate of designation) or pursuant to the DGCL.
Dividend rights
. Except as provided in the Proposed Charter with respect to certain stock adjustments, dividends of cash or property may not be declared or paid on shares of
Class V-1
common stock or
Class V-3
common stock.
Rights upon liquidation
. The holders of shares of

common stock will not be entitled to receive any assets of the Post-Combination Company in the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Post-Combination Company.

Subject to the terms of the New Symbotic Holdings LLC Agreement, holders of New Symbotic Holdings Common Units may cause the Post-Combination Company to redeem all or any portion of such holder’s New Symbotic Holdings Common Units, and in connection with such redemption, the Post-Combination Company may be required to deliver Class A common units to such holder.

common stock that correspond to such New Symbotic Holdings Common Units will automatically and simultaneously be transferred to the same transferee of such New Symbotic Holdings Common Units. Any attempted or purported transfer of shares of
Class V-1
common stock and
Class V-3
common stock in violation of the foregoing restrictions will be null and void.
Redemption of New Symbotic Holdings Common Units
. A holder of New Symbotic Holdings Common Units (other than the Post-Combination Company) may cause to be redeemed all or any portion of such holder’s New Symbotic Holdings Common Units, together with the cancellation of an equal number of shares of
Class V-1
common stock and/or
Class V-3
common stock that correspond to such New Symbotic Holdings Common Units, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the New Symbotic Holdings LLC Agreement. Pursuant to such redemption, subject to the terms of the New Symbotic Holdings LLC Agreement, such holder will be entitled to, at the Post-Combination Company’s election, either Class A common stock or cash (based on the recent market price for a share of the Class A common stock).
Cancellation of Class
V-1
Common Stock and Class
V-3
Common Stock
. In the event that any outstanding share of
Class V-1
common stock or
Class V-3
common stock ceases to be held directly or indirectly by a holder of a New Symbotic Holdings Common Units, such share will automatically be transferred to the Post-Combination Company and cancelled for no consideration.
Further Issuance of Class
V-3
Common Stock
. The Post-Combination Company will not issue additional shares of
Class V-3
common stock after the adoption of the Proposed Charter.
Preferred Stock
No shares of preferred stock will be issued or outstanding immediately after the completion of the Business Combination. The Proposed Charter will authorize the board of directors of the Post-Combination Company to establish one or more series of preferred stock. Unless required by law or any stock exchange, the authorized shares of preferred stock will be available for issuance without further action by the holders of the common stock. The board of directors of the Post-Combination Company has the discretion to determine the voting powers and the designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, and qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, including, without limitation, dividend rights, conversion rights, redemption privileges and liquidation preferences, of each series of preferred stock.
The issuance of preferred stock may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of the Post-Combination Company without further action by the stockholders. Additionally, the issuance of
299

Table of Contents
preferred stock may adversely affect the holders of the common stock by restricting dividends on the common stock, diluting the voting power of the common stock or subordinating the liquidation rights of the common stock. As a result of these or other factors, the issuance of preferred stock could have an adverse impact on the market price of the common stock. At present, we have no plans to issue any preferred stock.
Dividends
Declaration and payment of any dividend will be subject to the discretion of the Post-Combination Company’s board of directors. The time and amount of dividends will be dependent upon, among other things, the
Post-Combination
Company’s business prospects, results of operations, financial condition, cash requirements and availability, debt repayment obligations, capital expenditure needs, contractual restrictions, covenants in the agreements governing current and future indebtedness, industry trends, the provisions of Delaware law affecting the payment of dividends and distributions to stockholders and any other factors or considerations the Post-Combination Company’s board of directors may regard as relevant.
The Post-Combination Company currently intends to retain all available funds and any future earnings to fund the development and growth of the business and therefore does not anticipate declaring or paying any cash dividends on common stock in the foreseeable future.
Anti-Takeover Provisions
The Proposed Charter and the Post-Combination Company’s bylaws will contain provisions that may delay, defer or discourage another party from acquiring control of us. We expect that these provisions, which are summarized in this section, will discourage coercive takeover practices or inadequate takeover bids. These provisions are also designed to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us to first negotiate with the
Post-Combination
Company’s board of directors, which may result in an improvement of the terms of any such acquisition in favor of the stockholders. However, they also give the Post-Combination Company’s board of directors the power to discourage acquisitions that some stockholders may favor.
These provisions include:
Authorized but Unissued Shares
. The authorized but unissued shares of Post-Combination Company common stock and preferred stock are available for future issuance without stockholder approval, subject to any limitations imposed by the listing standards of NASDAQ. These additional shares may be used for a variety of corporate finance transactions, acquisitions and employee benefit plans. The existence of authorized but unissued and unreserved common stock and preferred stock could make more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or otherwise.
Business Combinations
. The Post-Combination Company will not be governed by Section 203 of the DGCL. In general, Section 203 prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in a business combination, such as a merger, with an “interested stockholder” (which includes a person or group owning 15% or more of the corporation’s voting stock) for a period of three years following the date the person became an interested stockholder, unless (with certain exceptions) the business combination or the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder is approved in a prescribed manner. Accordingly, the Post-Combination Company will not be subject to any anti-takeover effects of Section 203. Nevertheless, the Proposed Charter will contain provisions that will have a similar effect to Section 203, which will take effect from and after the Restriction Effective Time, except that such restrictions on business combinations shall not apply to any interested stockholder that became such prior to the Restriction Effective Time.
Stockholder Action; Special Meetings of Stockholders
. The Proposed Charter will provide that stockholders may not take action by written consent, but may only take action at annual or special meetings of stockholders. As a result, a holder controlling a majority of Post-Combination Company capital stock would not
300

Table of Contents
be able to amend the Post-Combination Company’s bylaws or remove directors without holding a meeting of stockholders called in accordance with the Post-Combination Company’s bylaws. Further, the Proposed Charter will provide that special meetings of the stockholders of the Post-Combination Company may be called, for any purpose or purposes, at any time only by or at the direction of the
Post-Combination
Company’s board of directors, the chairperson of the
Post-Combination
Company’s board of directors or the Chief Executive Officer, and will not be called by any other person or persons. These provisions might delay the ability of stockholders to force consideration of a proposal or for stockholders controlling a majority of Post-Combination Company capital stock to take any action, including the removal of directors.
Advance Notice Requirements for Stockholder Proposals and Director Nominations
. In addition, the Post-Combination Company’s bylaws will establish an advance notice procedure for stockholder proposals to be brought before an annual meeting or special meeting of stockholders. Generally, in order for any matter to be “properly brought” before a meeting, the matter must be (i) specified in a notice of meeting given by or at the direction of the Post-Combination Company’s board of directors, (ii) if not specified in a notice of meeting, otherwise brought before the meeting by the board of directors, or (iii) otherwise properly brought before the meeting by a stockholder who (a) was a stockholder on the date of giving the notice, on the record date for the determination of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting and at the time of the meeting, (b) entitled to vote at the meeting, and (c) has complied with the advance notice procedures specified in the Post-Combination Company’s bylaws or properly made such proposal in accordance with Rule
14a-8
under the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, which proposal has been included in the proxy statement for the annual meeting. Stockholders may not nominate persons for election to the Post-Combination Company’s board of directors at any special meeting of stockholders.
Further, for business and nominations of persons for election to the Post-Combination Company’s board of directors to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder, the stockholder must (i) provide Timely Notice (as defined below) thereof in writing and in proper form to the Secretary and (ii) provide any updates or supplements to such notice at the times and in the forms required by the Post-Combination Company’s bylaws.
To be timely, a stockholder’s notice must be received in accordance with an “Acceptable Delivery Method” not earlier than the 120
th
day, and not later than the 90
th
day, prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting of stockholders; provided, however, that in the event that no annual meeting was held in the previous year or the annual meeting is called for a date that is more than 30 days earlier or delayed (other than as a result of adjournment or recess) by more than 60 days later than such anniversary date, or, if the first public disclosure of the date of such annual meeting is less than 100 days prior to the date of such annual meeting, such stockholders’ notice must be received not earlier than the 120
th
day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the later of (1) the 90
th
day prior to such annual meeting and (2) the 10
th
day following the day on which public disclosure of the date of such annual meeting is first made by the
Post-Combination
Company (such notice within such time periods, “Timely Notice”).
Stockholders at an annual meeting or special meeting may only consider proposals or nominations properly brought before a meeting of stockholders. These provisions could have the effect of delaying stockholder actions that are favored by the holders of a majority of the outstanding voting securities until the next stockholder meeting.
Amendment of Charter or Bylaws
. Upon consummation of the Business Combination, the Post-Combination Company’s bylaws may be amended or repealed by a majority vote of the Post-Combination Company’s board of directors or by the holders of at least
sixty-six
and
two-thirds
percent (66 2/3%) of the voting power of all of the then-outstanding shares entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class. The affirmative vote of a majority of
Post-Combination
Company’s board of directors and at least
sixty-six
and
two-thirds
percent (66 2/3%) in voting power of the outstanding shares entitled to vote thereon would be required to amend certain provisions of the Proposed Charter.
301

Table of Contents
Quorum
The Post-Combination Company’s bylaws will provide that, at any meeting of the Post-Combination Company’s board of directors, a majority of the total number of directors then
in-office
constitutes a quorum.
No Cumulative Voting
Under Delaware law, the right to vote cumulatively does not exist unless the certificate of incorporation expressly authorizes cumulative voting. The Proposed Charter does not authorize cumulative voting.
Limitations on Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors
The Proposed Charter and Post-Combination Company’s bylaws will provide indemnification and advancement of expenses for the Post-Combination Company’s directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, subject to certain limited exceptions. The Post-Combination Company has entered into, or will enter into, indemnification agreements with each of its directors and officers. In some cases, the provisions of those indemnification agreements may be broader than the specific indemnification provisions contained under Delaware law. In addition, as permitted by Delaware law, the Proposed Charter and the Post-Combination Company’s bylaws will include provisions that eliminate the personal liability of directors for monetary damages resulting from breaches of certain fiduciary duties as a director. The effect of this provision is to restrict the Post-Combination Company’s rights and the rights of the Post-Combination Company’s stockholders in derivative suits to recover monetary damages against a director for breach of fiduciary duties as a director.
These provisions may be held not to be enforceable for violations of the federal securities laws of the United States.
Dissenters’ Rights of Appraisal and Payment
Under the DGCL, with certain exceptions, the Post-Combination Company’s stockholders will have appraisal rights in connection with a merger or consolidation of the Post-Combination Company. Pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL, stockholders who properly demand and perfect appraisal rights in connection with such merger or consolidation will have the right to receive payment of the fair value of their shares as determined by the Delaware Court of Chancery.
Stockholders’ Derivative Actions
Under the DGCL, any of the Post-Combination Company’s stockholders may bring an action in the company’s name to procure a judgment in its favor, also known as a derivative action, provided that the stockholder bringing the action is a holder of the Post-Combination Company’s shares at the time of the transaction to which the action relates.
Forum Selection
The Proposed Charter provides that unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware will be the sole and exclusive forum for any internal or intra-corporate claim or any action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine as defined by the laws of the State of Delaware, including, but not limited to, (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Post-Combination Company; (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer or other employee or stockholder of the Post-Combination Company to the Post-Combination Company or its stockholders; or (iii) any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL or the Proposed Charter or the Post-Combination Company’s bylaws, or as to which the DGCL confers jurisdiction on the Court of Chancery of the State of
302

Table of Contents
Delaware, will be a state court located within the State of Delaware (or, if no court located within the State of Delaware has jurisdiction, the federal district court for the District of Delaware). Further, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the sole and exclusive forum for any action asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder will be the federal district court for the District of Delaware (or if such court does not have jurisdiction over such action, any other federal district court) of the United States; provided that, if such forum is illegal, invalid or unenforceable, the sole and exclusive forum for any action asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act will be the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware.
Transfer Restrictions
The A&R Registration Rights Agreement will provide that Symbotic Equityholders will be subject to certain restrictions on transfers with respect to any New Symbotic Holdings Common Units or shares of the Post-Combination Company’s common stock held by the Symbotic Equityholders after the Closing pursuant to a direct exchange or redemption of New Symbotic Holdings Common Units pursuant to the New Symbotic Holdings LLC Agreement. Such restrictions begin at the Closing and, (i) with respect to shares held by the Symbotic Director Equityholders, end on the date that is the earlier of (a) one year after the Closing Date and (b) the date following the Closing Date on which the Post-Combination Company completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of the Post-Combination Company’s shareholders having the right to exchange their common stock for cash, securities or other property, and (ii) with respect the Symbotic Officer Equityholders, end on the date that is the earlier of (a) 180 days after the Closing Date and (b) the date following the Closing Date on which the Post-Combination Company completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of the Post-Combination Company’s shareholders having the right to exchange their common stock for cash, securities or other property.
The Sponsor Letter Agreement provides that the Sponsor and the SVF Insiders are subject to certain restrictions on transfers with respect to certain shares of common stock held by the Sponsor or the SVF Insiders. Such restrictions end on the date that is the earlier of (i) one year after the completion of the Business Combination and (ii) the date following the completion of the Business Combination on which the Post-Combination Company completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of the Post-Combination Company’s shareholders having the right to exchange their common stock for cash, securities or other property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, subsequent to the Business Combination, the last reported sale price of the Post Combination Company’s Class A common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share
sub-divisions,
share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within a
30-trading
day period commencing at least 150 days after the Business Combination, the Sponsor Shares shall be released from the foregoing
lock-up.
Stockholder Registration Rights
At the Closing, the Post-Combination Company will enter into the A&R Registration Rights Agreement, pursuant to which, among other things, the Sponsor, certain of the Company’s independent directors and the Symbotic Equityholders immediately after the Closing will have specified rights to require the Post-Combination Company to register all or a portion of their shares under the Securities Act. See the section titled “
The Business Combination—Other Agreements—Registration Rights Agreement
” The Subscribers also have certain customary registration rights pursuant to the Subscription Agreements.
Transfer Agent and Registrar
The transfer agent and registrar for the Class A common stock is Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company.
Trading Symbol and Market
We intend to apply to list the Class A common stock on NASDAQ under the symbol “SYM.”

C&S Wholesale Grocers
Our Founder, Board Chair, President and Chief Product Officer, Richard B. Cohen, also serves as the Executive Chairman of C&S Wholesale Grocers; and he and trusts for the benefit of his family are the only beneficial stockholders of that company. As a result, C&S Wholesale Grocers can be considered an affiliate of Symbotic. In addition, our Chief Strategy Officer, William Boyd, also serves as Executive Vice President and Chief Legal Officer of C&S Wholesale Grocers and Todd Krasnow, a member of the board of advisors of Warehouse and a nominee to serve on the Board upon the closing of the Business Combination, is a member of the C&S Wholesale Grocers advisory board.
Customer Contracts
C&S Wholesale Grocers is also an important customer that has implemented production Symbotic systems as well as proof of concept and test systems in its facilities. We have customer contracts with C&S Wholesale Grocers relating to software maintenance service and the operations of a warehouse automation system. Revenue of $0.9 million and $0.7 million and cost of revenue of $0.6 million and $0.7 million was recognized for the three months ended March 26, 2022 and March 27, 2021, respectively, relating to these customer contracts. Revenue of $1.7 million and $1.3 million and cost of revenue of $1.1 million and $1.2 million was recognized for the six months ended March 26, 2022 and March 27, 2021, respectively, relating to these customer contracts. All Symbotic systems purchased under our existing contracts with C&S Wholesale Grocers have been delivered, though we have ongoing software license and maintenance obligations under our contracts with C&S through March 2026.
Shared Services
We currently rely on certain shared services with C&S Wholesale Grocers in the operation of our business. A number of these services, including certain insurance, tax and treasury services, IT equipment and security systems and certain other arrangements (including other support services), are pursuant to unwritten arrangements with C&S Wholesale Grocers. We are currently in the process of entering into independent arrangements and/or agreements with C&S Wholesale Grocers with respect to these services, including with respect to the allocation of liabilities and obligations attributable to us and to C&S Wholesale Grocers under any continued shared services.
We are covered under the C&S Wholesale Grocers workers’ compensation, general liability, auto liability risk, and technology errors and omissions insurance which C&S Wholesale Grocers manages through the utilization of high deductible insurance policies. We paid $0.5 million, $1.8 million, $1.6 million, and $1.5 million to C&S Wholesale Grocers related to this insurance coverage during the three months ended December 25, 2021, and the years ended September 25, 2021, September 26, 2020, and September 28, 2019, respectively.
Other than as disclosed in this section, we did not make payments in excess of $120,000 to C&S Wholesale Grocers for shared services.
Aircraft Time-Sharing Agreement
In addition, in certain instances, our business requires our executives to use privately owned aircraft in furtherance of our business. In December 2021, we entered into an aircraft time-sharing agreement with C&S Wholesale Grocers with respect to a private aircraft owned by C&S Wholesale Grocers. Pursuant to the agreement, beginning in January 2022, we reimburse C&S Wholesale Grocers for certain costs consistent with Federal Aviation Administration regulations for the flights by our executives on the aircraft pursuant to the time-sharing agreement. All flights by our executives on the aircraft pursuant to the time-sharing agreement are for business purposes.

Credit Agreement
On September 28, 2018, C&S Wholesale Grocers entered into a credit agreement (the “2018 Credit Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A., which replaced and superseded a previous credit agreement. The 2018 Credit Agreement consists of a $1.5 billion revolving credit facility, including a $300.0 million letter of credit sub-limit and a $150 million swingline loan limit. The 2018 Credit Agreement includes an accordion feature which gives C&S Wholesale Grocers the ability to increase the commitments under the 2018 Credit Agreement by up to $750 million, subject to certain conditions. Symbotic was not primarily responsible for the obligations under the 2018 Credit Agreement and only had joint and several liability as guarantor after a default of C&S Wholesale Grocers and certain of its affiliates. On June 27, 2020, an amendment was executed which released Symbotic from being a named guarantor for the 2018 Credit Agreement, leaving only C&S Wholesale Grocers and certain affiliates as the remaining guarantors.
Senior Secured Notes
On July 10, 2014, an entity affiliated with C&S Wholesale Grocers issued $400.0 million in 5.375% Senior Secured Notes with a maturity date of July 15, 2022 (the “2022 Notes”). Symbotic was not primarily responsible for the obligations under the 2022 Notes and only had joint and several liability as guarantor after a default of the C&S Wholesale Grocers and certain of its affiliates. On March 23, 2020, the 2022 Notes were redeemed in advance of their maturity date.
Walmart
On December 15, 2021, Walmart and Symbotic consummated the gross exercise of the vested portion of the Walmart Warrants, and Walmart became a holder of approximately 6.5% of Warehouse’s outstanding Common Units. On May 20, 2022, Walmart and Symbotic consummated the gross exercise of the remaining portion of the Walmart Warrants, which increased Walmart’s ownership to 10.0% of Warehouse’s outstanding Common Units. For a description of our relationship with Walmart, see “
Information about Symbotic—Customers—Walmart

See Note 11 to our audited consolidated financial statements and Note 7 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.
Member Contribution
During the year ended September 26, 2020, Symbotic received $100.0 million in member contributions from the holder of the Class B-1 Unit, RJJRP Holdings, Inc. These contributions are reflected as in increase in the carrying value of the Class B-1 Unit. Our Founder, Board Chair, President and Chief Product Officer, Richard B. Cohen, is the President and Chief Executive Officer and owns over 10% of the equity interests of RJJRP Holdings, Inc. As a result, RJJRP Holdings, Inc. can be considered an affiliate of Symbotic.
See Note 13 to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus, which disclosure is incorporated herein by reference.
Certain Relationships and Related Person Transactions—SVF 3
In this section, “we,” “us” and “our” refer to SVF 3 prior to the Business Combination.
On December 14, 2020, our Sponsor paid $25,000, or approximately $0.009 per share, to cover certain of our expenses in consideration of 2,875,000 Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share. On January 29, 2021, we issued additional 12,125,000 Class B ordinary shares to our Sponsor by way of a dividend. On February 3 and February 26, 2021, our Sponsor surrendered 5,000,000 and 2,000,000 Class B ordinary shares, respectively, resulting in our Sponsor holding a total of 8,000,000 Class B ordinary shares. On February 24,
306

Table of Contents
2021, our Sponsor transferred 50,000 Class B ordinary shares to each of Michael Carpenter and Michael Tobin. These 100,000 shares were not subject to forfeiture in the event the underwriters’ over-allotment option is not exercised in the SVF 3 IPO. The number of Founder Shares issued was determined based on the expectation that such Founder Shares would represent 20% of the issued and outstanding shares upon completion of the SVF 3 IPO (excluding the Private Placement Shares). Up to 1,000,000 Founder Shares (other than the founder shares transferred to Michael Carpenter and Michael Tobin) were subject to forfeiture by our Sponsor depending on the extent to which the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised. The Founder Shares (including the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise thereof) may not, subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferred, assigned or sold by the holder thereof.
On December 14, 2020, we issued a promissory note in the amount of $300,000 to the Sponsor to be used for a portion of the expenses of the SVF 3 IPO. Such promissory note
was non-interest bearing
and was due at the earlier of March 31, 2022 or the closing of the SVF 3 IPO. Such promissory note was fully repaid on March 11, 2021.
On March 11, 2021, concurrent with the SVF 3 IPO, our Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 1,040,000 Private Placement Shares for a purchase price of $10.00 per share in a private placement. As such, our Sponsor’s interest in the SVF 3 IPO was valued at $10,400,000. The Private Placement Shares may not, subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferred, assigned or sold by the holder until 30 days after the completion of our initial business combination.
We have entered into a Forward Purchase Agreement pursuant to which the Forward Purchase Investor, which has received commitments from funds affiliated with SBIA, have agreed to subscribe to 15,000,000 committed Forward Purchase Shares for $10.00 per share, or $150,000,000 in the aggregate, in a private placement to close substantially concurrently with the closing of our initial business combination. The Forward Purchase Agreement also provides that the Forward Purchase Investor may elect to purchase up to an additional $50,000,000 of Forward Purchase Shares, which will also have a purchase price of $10.00 per share. Any elections to purchase up to 5,000,000 additional Forward Purchase Shares will take place in one or more private placements in such amounts and at such time as the Forward Purchase Investor determines, but no later than simultaneously with the closing of our initial business combination. The Forward Purchase Investor has elected to purchase 5,000,000 additional Forward Purchase Shares for aggregate proceeds of $50,000,000 immediately prior to the Closing. We and the Forward Purchase Investor may determine, by mutual agreement, to increase the number of additional forward purchase shares at any time prior to our initial business combination. If the sale of the forward purchase shares fails to close, for any reason, we may lack sufficient funds to consummate our initial business combination. The Forward Purchase Agreement also provides that the Forward Purchase Investor is entitled to registration rights with respect to their (A) Forward Purchase Shares, and (B) any other Class A ordinary shares acquired by the Forward Purchase Investor, including any time after we complete our initial business combination.
In addition, pursuant to the Forward Purchase Agreement, we have agreed that we will use our reasonable best efforts to (i) within 180 days after the Closing, file a registration statement with the SEC for a secondary offering of (A) the Forward Purchase Shares, and (B) any other equity security of SVF 3 issued or issuable with respect to the securities referred to in clause (A) by way of a share capitalization or share split or in connection with a combination of shares, recapitalization, merger, consolidation or reorganization, (ii) cause such registration statement to be declared effective promptly thereafter, but in no event later than 60 days after the initial filing of such registration statement and (iii) maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement until the earlier of (A) the date on which the Forward Purchase Investor ceases to hold the securities covered thereby and (B) the date all of the securities covered thereby can be sold publicly without restriction or limitation under Rule 144 under the Securities Act and without the requirement to be in compliance with Rule 144(c)(1) under the Securities Act, subject to certain conditions and limitations set forth in the Forward Purchase Agreement. We will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

We currently maintain our executive offices at 1 Circle Star Way, San Carlos, California 94070, United States. The cost for our use of this space is included in the $10,000 per month fee we will pay to an affiliate of our Sponsor for office, general administrative and support services, commencing on the date that our Class A ordinary Shares were first listed on NASDAQ. Upon completion of our initial business combination or our liquidation, we will cease these monthly fees.
No compensation of any kind, including finder’s and consulting fees, will be paid to our Sponsor, officers and directors, or their respective affiliates, for services rendered prior to or in connection with the completion of the Business Combination. However, these individuals will be reimbursed for any
out-of-pocket
expenses incurred in connection with activities on our behalf such as performing due diligence in connection with the Business Combination. Our audit committee will review on a quarterly basis all payments that were made by us to our Sponsor, officers, directors or their affiliates and will determine which expenses and the amount of expenses that will be reimbursed. There is no cap or ceiling on the reimbursement of
out-of-pocket
expenses incurred by such persons in connection with activities on our behalf.
In order to finance transaction costs in connection with the Business Combination, our Sponsor or an affiliate of our Sponsor or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. If we complete an initial business combination, we may repay such loaned amounts out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to us. In the event that the Business Combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from our Trust Account would be used for such repayment. Up to $2,000,000 of such loans may be convertible into Class A ordinary shares at a price of $10.00 per share at the option of the lender. On August 10, 2021, pursuant to a Loan Agreement between SVF 3, as borrower, and Sponsor, as Lender, the Sponsor agreed to loan us $2.0 million, without interest, which amount is repayable on demand after the date on which we complete an initial business combination or the date the Sponsor gives notice to us of its election to convert amounts due into Class A ordinary shares of the post-combination entity. On November 9, 2021, we and the Sponsor agreed to amend such loan to increase the commitment by $1.0 million.
After the Business Combination, members of our management team who remain with us may be paid consulting, management or other fees from the Post-Combination Company. The directors of the Post-Combination Company will determine executive and director compensation.
We have entered into a registration and shareholder rights agreement pursuant to which our Sponsor will be entitled to certain registration rights with respect to the Private Placement Shares, and the Class A ordinary shares upon conversion of the Founder Shares and any shares that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans, and, upon consummation of the Business Combination, to nominate three individuals for appointment to our board of directors, as long as the Sponsor holds any securities covered by the registration and shareholder rights agreement. The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that we register such securities. In addition, the holders had certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of the initial business combination. We will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements. The foregoing registration and shareholder rights agreement will be amended and restated as described elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. See “
The Business Combination—Other Agreements—Registration Rights Agreement.
”
We have entered into an agreement to indemnify our Sponsor and its affiliates, including SoftBank Group Corp., from any claims made by the Company or a third party in respect of any investment opportunities sourced by them, any liability arising with respect to their activities in connection with our affairs, and for any services that are provided without a separate written agreement between us and any such party. Such indemnity provides that the indemnified parties cannot access the funds held in our Trust Account.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 – Description of Organization and Business Operations
SVF Investment Corp. 3, formerly known as SVF Investment III Corp., (the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on December 11, 2020. The Company was incorporated for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (“Business Combination”).

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’s fiscal year end is December 31.
The Company’s sponsor is SVF Sponsor III (DE) LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Sponsor”). The registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on March 8, 2021. On March 11, 2021, the Company consummated its Initial Public Offering of 32,000,000 Class A ordinary shares (the “Public Shares”), including the 4,000,000 Public Shares as a result of the underwriters’ full exercise of their over-allotment option, at an offering price of $10.00 per Public Share, generating gross proceeds of $320.0 million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $18.1 million, of which approximately $11.2 million was for deferred underwriting commissions (see Note 5). On April 22, 2021, the underwriters made a payment to the Company in an amount of $640,000 to reimburse certain of the expenses in connection with its Initial Public Offering.
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the private placement (“Private Placement”) of 1,040,000 Class A ordinary shares (the “Private Placement Shares”), at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Share to the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of $10.4 million (see Note 4).
Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, management agreed that an amount equal to at least $10.00 per Public Share sold in the Initial Public Offering, including the proceeds of the Private Placement Shares, will be held in a trust account (“Trust Account”) with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee and invested in United States “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or the Investment Company Act, having a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule

promulgated 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 its Initial Public Offering and the sale of Private Placement Shares, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. The Company’s initial Business Combination must be with one or more operating businesses or assets with a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the net assets held in the Trust Account (excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on the interest earned on the Trust Account) at the time the Company signs a definitive agreement in connection with 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 provides its holders of the Public Shares (the “Public Shareholders”) with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of a Business Combination either (i) in
F-6

Table of Contents
connection with a shareholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek shareholder approval of a Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion. The Public Shareholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account (at $10.00 per share, plus any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its tax obligations). The
per-share
amount to be distributed to Public Shareholders 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 6).
All of the Public Shares contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such Public Shares in connection with the Company’s liquidation, if there is a shareholder vote or tender offer in connection with the initial Business Combination and in connection with certain amendments to the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association.
In accordance with SEC and its guidance on redeemable equity instruments, which has been codified in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic
480-10-S99,
redemption provisions not solely within the control of a company require ordinary shares subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity. Given that the Public Shares will be issued with Public Warrants, the initial carrying value of ordinary shares classified as temporary equity will be the allocated proceeds determined in accordance with FASB ASC
470-20.
The Public Shares are subject to FASB ASC
480-10-S99.
If it is probable that the equity instrument will become redeemable, the Company has the option to either (i) accrete changes in the redemption value over the period from the date of issuance (or from the date that it becomes probable that the instrument will become redeemable, if later) to the earliest redemption date of the instrument or (ii) recognize changes in the redemption value immediately as they occur and adjust the carrying amount of the instrument to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. The Company has elected to recognize the changes immediately.
The ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are recorded at a redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the IPO, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” In such case, the Company will proceed with a Business Combination if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 upon such consummation of a Business Combination and a majority of the shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination. If a shareholder vote is not required by law and the Company does not decide to hold a shareholder vote for business or other legal reasons, the Company will, pursuant to the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association which will be adopted by the Company upon the consummation of the Initial Public Offering (the “Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association”), conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination. If, however, a shareholder approval of the transactions is required by law, or the Company decides to obtain shareholder 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 Shareholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed transaction. If the Company seeks shareholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, the holders of the Founder Shares prior to this Initial Public Offering (the “Initial Shareholders”) agreed to vote their Founder Shares (as defined 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 Shareholders agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares and Public Shares in connection with the completion of a Business Combination. In addition, the Company agreed not to enter into a definitive agreement regarding an initial Business Combination without the prior consent of the Sponsor.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association will provide that a Public Shareholder, together with any affiliate of such shareholder or any other person with
F-7

Table of Contents
whom such shareholder 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 15% or more of the Class A ordinary shares sold in the Initial Public Offering, without the prior consent of the Company.
The Company’s Sponsor, executive officers, directors and director nominees agreed not to propose an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association that would affect the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to provide for the redemption of its Public Shares in connection with a Business Combination or to redeem 100% of its Public Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination, unless the Company provides the Public Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Class A ordinary 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 March 11, 2023 (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 income taxes, if any (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of the then-outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Public Shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any); and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining shareholders and the board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii), to the Company’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.
In connection with the redemption of 100% of the Company’s outstanding Public Shares for a portion of the funds held in the Trust Account, each holder will receive a full pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account, plus any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay the Company’s taxes payable (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses).
The Initial Shareholders 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, if the Initial Shareholders should acquire Public Shares in or after the Initial Public Offering, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such Public Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. The underwriters agreed to waive their rights to their 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 funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the Company’s 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 per share initially held in the Trust Account. In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor agreed that it will be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or other similar agreement or business combination agreement, 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 as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, if less than $10.00 per share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, less taxes payable, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or prospective target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the Trust Account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) nor will it apply 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”). In the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of
F-8

Table of Contents
any liability for such third-party claims. 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 vendors, service providers (except the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm), 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.
Proposed Business Combination
On December 12, 2021, (a) the Company and Saturn Acquisition (DE) Corp. (“Merger Sub”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as it may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”) with Warehouse Technologies LLC (“Warehouse”) and Symbotic Holdings LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Warehouse (“Symbotic Holdings”), and (b) Warehouse and Symbotic Holdings entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as it may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Company Merger Agreement”). If the Company Merger Agreement, the Merger Agreement, the transactions contemplated thereby are adopted by the Company’s shareholders and Warehouse’s unitholders, as applicable, (i) Warehouse will merge with and into Symbotic Holdings, with Symbotic Holdings surviving the merger (sometimes hereinafter referred to as “Interim Symbotic”) and (ii) immediately thereafter, Merger Sub will merge with and into Interim Symbotic (the “Merger,” and, together with the Domestication and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the “Business Combination”), with Interim Symbotic surviving the merger as a subsidiary of the Post-Combination Company (“New Symbotic Holdings”). Prior to the consummation of the Merger, the Company will transfer by way of continuation from the Cayman Islands and domesticate as a Delaware corporation (the “Domestication”). Following the Domestication and simultaneously with the Business Combination, the Company will change its corporate name to “Symbotic Inc.” (the “Post-Combination Company” or “Symbotic Inc.”).
In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, the Company entered into Subscription Agreements (the “Subscription Agreements”) with certain parties subscribing for shares of the Post-Combination Company’s Class A ordinary share (the “Subscribers”) pursuant to which the Subscribers have agreed to purchase, and the Company has agreed to sell the Subscribers, an aggregate of 20,500,000 shares of the Post-Combination Company’s Class A ordinary share, at a purchase price of $10.00 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $205,000,000. The obligations to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Subscription Agreements are conditioned upon, among other things, customary closing conditions and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.
Each Surviving Company Common Unit may be redeemed by the holder for shares of Surviving Pubco Class A Ordinary share (or an equivalent amount in cash, at the option of the Surviving Company, subject to the provisions of the limited liability company agreement of the Surviving Company) at a value equal to the arithmetic mean of the volume-weighted average price of a share of Surviving Pubco Class A Ordinary share for the full five trading days ending prior to the redemption date, subject to certain exceptions. Upon such redemption, a number of shares of Surviving Pubco
Class V-3
Ordinary share or Surviving Pubco
Class V-1
Ordinary share, as applicable, equal to the number of redeemed Surviving Company Common Units, will be transferred to the Surviving Pubco and cancelled by the Surviving Pubco.
Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Company is required to cause the shares of Surviving Pubco Class A Ordinary share to be issued in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the “Transactions”) to be listed on the NASDAQ prior to the date of the Closing and to be eligible for continued listing on NASDAQ immediately following the Closing (as if the listing were a new initial listing by an issuer that had never been listed prior to the Closing).

On May 9, 2022, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), declared the registration statement on Form S-4 (as amended, the “Registration Statement”), which includes a proxy statement/prospectus in connection with the Transactions effective and the Company has scheduled an extraordinary general meeting on June 3, 2022 at 9:00 am to approve the Business Combination and related proposals. SVF and Symbotic expect to close the Business Combination promptly after the Special Meeting, subject to SVF’s shareholder approval and other customary closing conditions.
For additional information related to the Transactions, please see final proxy/statement/prospectus filed with the SEC on May 9, 2022.
Liquidity and Going Concern
As of March 31, 2022, the Company had approximately $3.3 million in its operating bank account and working capital deficit of approximately $4.7 million.
Prior to the completion of the Initial Public Offering, the Company’s liquidity needs were satisfied through the payment by the Company’s Sponsor of $25,000 for certain offering costs on the Company’s behalf in exchange for the issuance of the Founder Shares, and borrowings under the Company’s promissory note with its Sponsor of $300,000 as well as additional advances of approximately $114,000. The Company fully repaid the Note balance and the advance from the Sponsor as of March 15, 2021. Subsequent to the consummation of the Initial Public Offering and Private Placement, the Company’s liquidity needs were satisfied with a portion of the proceeds of $10.4 million from the consummation of the Private Placement not held in the Trust Account. In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor may, but is not obligated to, provide the Company Working Capital Loans (see Note 4). On August 10, 2021 the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company $2.0 million as the Working Capital Loan. On November 9, 2021 the Sponsor and the Company agreed to amend this loan to increase the commitment by $1.0 million. As of March 31, 2022 there was $3.0 million drawn on the Working Capital Loan. As of December 31, 2021 there were no amounts outstanding under any Working Capital Loans.
In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations management has determined that the mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution if the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination with 24 months from closing of the Initial Public Offering, or March 11, 2023, raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of time which is considered to be one year from the issuance of these financial statements. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustment that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
Risks and Uncertainties
Management is continuing to evaluate the impact of the
COVID-19
pandemic and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the virus could have a negative effect on the Company’s financial position and/or search for a target company, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Note 2 — Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars and 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 U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP. In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which include only
F-10

Table of Contents
normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair statement of the balances and results for the periods presented. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected through December 31, 2022.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form
10-K
filed by the Company with the SEC on March 23, 2022.
Emerging Growth Company Status
The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by 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 auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, 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 shareholder 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 condensed consolidated 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.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of 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, liabilities and expenses at the date of the condensed financial statements. 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 condensed financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company had no cash equivalents held outside the Trust Account as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.
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 Corporation
F-11

Table of Contents
coverage limit of $250,000 and investments held in the Trust Account. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts.​​​​​​​
Investments Held in the Trust Account
The Company’s portfolio of investments is comprised of 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 investments in money market funds that invest in U.S. government securities and generally have a readily determinable fair value, or a combination thereof. When the Company’s investments held in the Trust Account are comprised of U.S. government securities, the investments are classified as trading securities. When the Company’s investments held in the Trust Account are comprised of money market funds, the investments are recognized at fair value. Trading securities and investments in money market funds are presented on the accompanying balance sheets at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value of these securities is included in income from investments held in Trust Account in the accompanying statements of operations. The estimated fair values of investments held in the Trust Account are determined using available market information.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities equal or approximate the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying condensed balance sheets.
Fair Value Measurements
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 consist of:

| • |  | 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 March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 the carrying values of cash, prepaid expense, due from related party, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and working capital loan—related party approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of the instruments. The fair value of investments held in Trust Account is determined using quoted prices in active markets.
Offering Costs Associated with the Initial Public Offering
Offering costs consist of legal, accounting, underwriting and other costs incurred that were directly related to the Initial Public Offering. Offering costs were allocated between the Private Placement Shares and the Public Shares
F-12

Table of Contents
based on a relative fair value basis, compared to total proceeds received. Additionally, at the Initial Public Offering, offering costs allocated to the Public Shares were charged against temporary equity and offering costs allocated to the Private Placement Shares were charged against shareholders’ deficit. Deferred underwriting commissions are classified as
non-current
liabilities as their liquidation is not reasonably expected to require the use of current assets or require the creation of current liabilities.​​​​​​​
Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption
The Company accounts for its Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC 480. Class A ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as liability instruments and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable Class A ordinary shares (including Class A ordinary shares that feature 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) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, Class A ordinary shares are classified as shareholders’ deficit. The Company’s Class A ordinary shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, at the Initial Public Offering and as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, 32,000,000 Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are presented as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ deficit section of the Company’s condensed balance sheets.
The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of the Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Effective with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company recognized the accretion from initial book value to redemption amount value. The change in the carrying value of redeemable shares of Class A ordinary shares resulted in charges against additional
paid-in
capital and accumulated deficit.
Income Taxes
The Company complies with the accounting and reporting requirements of ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”) which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in future taxable or deductible amounts, based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to 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’s management determined that the Cayman Islands is the Company’s only major tax jurisdiction. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. 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 considered an exempted Cayman Islands Company and is presently not subject to income taxes or income tax filing requirements in the Cayman Islands or the United States. As such, the Company’s tax provision was zero for the period presented.
Net Loss Per Ordinary Share
The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” Income and losses are shared pro rata between Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption
F-13

Table of Contents
and
non-redeemable
ordinary shares. Net loss per ordinary share is calculated by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the respective period.
Non-redeemable
ordinary shares include Founder Shares and Private Placement Shares as these shares do not have any redemption features. Diluted net loss per share is the same as basic net loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021. Accretion associated with the redeemable Class A ordinary shares is excluded from earnings per share as the redemption value approximates fair value.​​​​​​​
The table below presents a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used to compute basic and diluted net loss per of ordinary share:

|  | For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 |  |  | For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 |

Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Our management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Note 3 — Initial Public Offering
On March 11, 2021, the Company consummated its Initial Public Offering of 32,000,000 Public Shares, including the 4,000,000 Public Shares as a result of the underwriters’ full exercise of their over-allotment option, at an offering price of $10.00 per Public Share, generating gross proceeds of $320.0 million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $18.1 million, of which approximately $11.2 million was for deferred underwriting commissions. On April 22, 2021, the underwriters made a payment to the Company in an amount of $640,000 to reimburse certain of the expenses in connection with its Initial Public Offering.
Of the 32,000,000 Public Shares, an aggregate of 112,500 Public Shares was purchased by certain of the Company’s directors and officers (the “Affiliated Shares”).
Note 4 — Related Party Transactions
Founder Shares
On December 14, 2020, the Company issued 2,875,000 Class B ordinary shares to the Sponsor in exchange for the payment of $25,000 from the Sponsor to cover for certain expenses on behalf of the Company. On January 29, 2021, the Company effected a share dividend of 12,125,000 Class B ordinary shares, which was retroactively restated to 2020, and on February 3, 2021 and February 26, 2021, the Sponsor surrendered
F-14

Table of Contents
5,000,000 and 2,000,000 Class B ordinary shares for no consideration, respectively. The share dividend and share surrender resulted in an aggregate of 8,000,000 Class B ordinary shares outstanding. All shares and associated amounts have been retroactively restated to reflect the share capitalization as of December 11, 2020 (inception). The holders of the Founder Shares agreed to forfeit up to an aggregate of 1,000,000 Founder Shares, on a pro rata basis, to the extent that the option to purchase additional shares was not exercised in full by the underwriters, so that the Founder Shares would represent 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares after the Initial Public Offering (excluding the Private Placement Shares and the Forward Purchase Shares). The underwriters fully exercised the over-allotment option on March 11, 2021; thus, these 1,000,000 Founder Shares are no longer subject to forfeiture.
The Initial Shareholders agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Founder Shares and the Forward Purchase Investor agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of its Forward Purchase Shares until the earlier to occur of (A) one year after the completion of the initial Business Combination and (B) subsequent to the initial Business Combination, (x) if the closing price of the Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share subdivisions, share capitalizations, 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 (y) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of the Public Shareholders having the right to exchange their ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property.
Prior to closing the Initial Public Offering, in February 2021, the Sponsor transferred 100,000 shares of our Class B ordinary shares to the Company’s independent directors. Subsequent to the IPO, in April 2021, the Sponsor transferred an additional 50,000 shares of our Class B ordinary shares to a Company independent director (the “Transferred Shares”), which was estimated to be fair valued at approximately $834,000 or $5.56 per Founder Share. The Transferred Shares shall vest upon the Company consummating an Initial Business Combination.
The sale or transfers of the Founders Shares to members of the Company’s the board of directors, as described above, is within the scope of FASB ASC Topic 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”). Under ASC 718, stock-based compensation associated with equity-classified awards is measured at fair value upon the grant date. The Founders Shares were effectively sold or transferred subject to a performance condition (i.e., the occurrence of a Business Combination). Compensation expense related to the Founders Shares is recognized only when the performance condition is probable of occurrence under the applicable accounting literature in this circumstance. A business combination is not probable until it is completed. Stock-based compensation would be recognized at the date a Business Combination is considered probable in an amount equal to the number of Founders Shares times the grant date fair value per share (unless subsequently modified) less the amount initially received for the purchase of the Founders Shares. As of March 31, 2022, the Company determined that a Business Combination is not considered probable until the business combination is completed, and therefore, no stock-based compensation expense has been recognized.
Private Placement Shares
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the Private Placement of 1,040,000 Private Placement Shares, at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Share to the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of $10.4 million.
A portion of the proceeds from the Private Placement Shares 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 proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement share held in the Trust Account will be used to fund the redemption of the Public Shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law) and the Private Placement Shares will be worthless.

Table of Contents
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 Shares until 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination, as such are considered
non-redeemable
and presented as permanent equity in the Company’s condensed balance sheets.
Related Party Loans
On December 14, 2020, the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company up to $300,000 pursuant to a promissory note (the “Note”). The Note was
non-interest
bearing, unsecured and due upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering. As of March 11, 2021, the Company fully borrowed $300,000 under the Note. In addition, the Sponsor also advanced approximately $114,000 to the Company. The Company fully repaid the Note balance and the advance from the Sponsor, for a total of approximately $414,000, on March 15, 2021.
In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor, members of the Company’s founding team or any of their affiliates 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 will 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. The Working Capital Loans would either be repaid upon consummation of a Business Combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $2.0 million of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into shares of the post Business Combination entity at a price of $10.00 per share. The shares would be identical to the Private Placement Shares. On August 10, 2021 the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company $2.0 million as the Working Capital Loan. On November 9, 2021 the Sponsor and the Company agreed to amend this loan to increase the commitment by $1.0 million. The Company has determined that the conversion feature does not require bifurcation as an embedded derivative and as such the carrying value of the loan would be recognized at cost and presented as a liability on the accompanying condensed balance sheets. As of March 31, 2022 there was $3.0 million under the Working Capital Loan. As of December 31, 2021 there were no amounts outstanding under any Working Capital Loans.
Administrative Service Agreement
Commencing on the date that the Company’s securities were first listed on the NASDAQ through the earlier of consummation of the initial Business Combination and the liquidation, the Company agreed to pay the Sponsor $10,000 per month for office space, secretarial and administrative services provided to the Company by an affiliate of the Sponsor.
The Company incurred $30,000 and $10,000 in such fees included as general and administrative expenses to related party on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. As of March 31, 2022 $130,000 was due to the Sponsor and is included in due to related party on the accompanying condensed balance sheets. As December 31, 2021 $100,000 was due to the Sponsor and was included in the due to related party on the accompanying condensed balance sheets.
In addition, the Sponsor, officers and directors, or their respective affiliates will be reimbursed for any
out-of-pocket
expenses incurred in connection with activities on the Company’s behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable Business Combinations. The Company’s audit committee will review on a quarterly basis all payments that were made by the Company to the Sponsor, executive officers or directors, or their affiliates. Any such payments prior to an initial Business Combination will be made using funds held outside the Trust Account.
In addition to the administrative services agreement fee of $130,000 and $100,000 (as noted above) approximately $867,000, and $459,000 is due to the Sponsor’s affiliates for reimbursements of expenses and is

included in due to related party on the accompanying condensed balance sheets as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.​​​​​​​
Note 5 — Commitments and Contingencies
Registration and Shareholder Rights
The holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Shares, and any shares that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans (and any Class A ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of the Founder Shares) were entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration and shareholder rights agreement signed upon the effective date of the Initial Public Offering. The holders of these securities were entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company registers such securities. In addition, the holders had certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of the initial Business Combination. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.
Underwriting Agreement
The Company granted the underwriters a
45-day
option from the date of the prospectus to purchase up to 4,000,000 additional shares at the Initial Public Offering price less the underwriting discounts and commissions.
The underwriters fully exercised the over-allotment option on March 11, 2021. The underwriters were entitled to an underwriting discount of $0.20 per unit, or $6.4 million in the aggregate, paid upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering. In addition, $0.35 per unit, or approximately $11.2 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. On April 22, 2021, the underwriters made a payment to the Company in an amount of $640,000 to reimburse certain of the expenses in connection with its Initial Public Offering.
Forward Purchase Agreement
The Company entered into a forward purchase agreement (a “Forward Purchase Agreement”) with SVF II SPAC Investment 3 (DE) LLC (the “Forward Purchase Investor”), which provides for the purchase of $150 million forward purchase shares (the “Forward Purchase Shares”), for $10.00 per share, in a private placement to close substantially concurrently with the closing of the initial Business Combination. The Forward Purchase Agreement also provides that the Forward Purchase Investor may elect to purchase up to an additional $50 million of Forward Purchase Shares, for a purchase price of $10.00 per share. Any elections to purchase up to 5,000,000 additional Forward Purchase Shares will take place in one or more private placements in such amounts and at such time as the Forward Purchase Investor determine, but no later than simultaneously with the closing of the initial Business Combination. The Company and the Forward Purchase Investor may determine, by mutual agreement, to increase the number of additional Forward Purchase Shares at any time prior to the initial Business Combination. The obligations under the Forward Purchase Agreement do not depend on whether any Class A ordinary shares are redeemed by the Public Shareholders. The forward purchase securities will be issued only in connection with the closing of the initial Business Combination. The proceeds from the sale of forward purchase securities may be used as part of the consideration to the sellers in the initial Business Combination, expenses in connection with the initial Business Combination or for working capital in the post-transaction company. On March 23, 2022, the Forward Purchase Investor elected to purchase an additional $50 million of Forward Purchase Shares, for a purchase price of $10.00 per share, subject to and on the terms set out in such election and the Forward Purchase Agreement. The Forward Purchase Agreement should be classified within shareholders’ deficit, and the Forward Purchase Agreement is considered indexed to the Company’s own share under ASC Topic 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity. As such, the Forward Purchase Agreement meets the scope exception in ASC 815-10-15-74(a) to derivative accounting and; therefore, the Forward Purchase Agreement should be classified in shareholders’ deficit.

—The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.0001 from time to time in one or more series. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were no shares of preferred stock issued or outstanding.
Class
A Ordinary Shares
- The Company is authorized to issue 200,000,000 Class A ordinary shares with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Holders of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares are entitled to one vote for each share. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were 33,040,000 shares of Class A ordinary shares outstanding, of which 32,000,000 were subject to possible redemption and are classified outside of permanent equity in the accompanying balance sheets (see Note 6).
Class
B Ordinary Shares
- The Company is authorized to issue 20,000,000 Class B ordinary shares with a par value of $0.0001 per share. On December 14, 2020, the Company issued 2,875,000 Class B ordinary shares to the Sponsor. On January 29, 2021, the Company effected a share dividend of 12,125,000 Class B ordinary shares and on February 3 and February 26, 2021, the Sponsor surrendered 5,000,000 and 2,000,000 Class B ordinary shares for no consideration, respectively. The share dividend and share surrender resulted in an aggregate of 8,000,000 Class B ordinary shares outstanding. All shares and associated amounts have been retroactively restated to reflect the share capitalization. Of the 8,000,000 Class B ordinary shares outstanding, up to 1,000,000 Class B ordinary shares were subject to forfeiture, to the Company by the Initial Shareholders for no consideration to the extent that the underwriters’ over-allotment option was not exercised in full or in part, so that the Initial Shareholders would collectively own 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding ordinary shares after the Initial Public Offering (excluding the Private Placement Shares and the Forward Purchase Shares). The underwriters fully exercised the over-allotment option on March 11, 2021; thus, these 1,000,000 Founder Shares were no longer subject to forfeiture. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were 8,000,000 Class B ordinary shares outstanding.

as-converted
basis, 20% of the sum of (i) the total number of ordinary shares issued and outstanding upon completion of the Initial Public Offering, plus (ii) the total number of Class A ordinary shares issued or deemed issued or issuable upon conversion or exercise of any equity-linked securities or rights issued or deemed issued, by the Company in connection with or in relation to the consummation of the initial Business Combination, excluding the number of Class A ordinary shares to be sold pursuant to the Private Placement Shares Purchase Agreement and the Forward Purchase Agreement and any Class A ordinary shares or equity-linked securities exercisable for or convertible into Class A ordinary shares issued, deemed issued, or to be issued, to any seller in the initial Business Combination and any private placement shares issued to the Sponsor, its affiliates or any member of the management team upon conversion of Working Capital Loans.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of
SVF Investment Corp. 3
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of SVF Investment Corp. 3 (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2021 and the period from December 11, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2020, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2021 and the period from December 11, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2020, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Explanatory Paragraph – Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As more fully described in Note 1, the Company has until March 11, 2023 to consummate a Business Combination. If a Business Combination is not consummated by the required date, then the Company will cease all operations except for the purpose of liquidating. The Company has limited capital resources and will need additional financing to sustain operations for a reasonable period of time, which is considered to be on year from the issuance date of the financial statements. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans with regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
F-20

Table of Contents
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the over all presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Note 1—Description of Organization and Business Operations
SVF Investment Corp. 3, formerly known as SVF Investment III Corp., (the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on December 11, 2020. The Company was incorporated for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (“Business Combination”).
As of December 31, 2021, the Company had not yet commenced operations. All activities for the period from December 11, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2021 relates to the Company’s formation and the initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering”), described below, and, subsequent to the Initial Public Offering, identifying a target company for a Business Combination. 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’s fiscal year end is December 31.
The Company’s sponsor is SVF Sponsor III (DE) LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Sponsor”). The registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on March 8, 2021. On March 11, 2021, the Company consummated its Initial Public Offering of 32,000,000 Class A ordinary shares (the “Public Shares”), including the 4,000,000 Public Shares as a result of the underwriters’ full exercise of their over-allotment option, at an offering price of $10.00 per Public Share, generating gross proceeds of $320.0 million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $18.1 million, of which approximately $11.2 million was for deferred underwriting commissions (see Note 5). On April 22, 2021, the underwriters made a payment to the Company in an amount of $640,000 to reimburse certain of the expenses in connection with its Initial Public Offering.
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the private placement (“Private Placement”) of 1,040,000 Class A ordinary shares (the “Private Placement Shares”), at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Share to the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of $10.4 million (see Note 4).
Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, management agreed that an amount equal to at least $10.00 per Public Share sold in the Initial Public Offering, including the proceeds of the Private Placement Shares, will be held in a trust account (“Trust Account”) with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee and invested in United States “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or the Investment Company Act, having a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule
2a-7
promulgated 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 its Initial Public Offering and the sale of Private Placement Shares, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. The Company’s initial Business Combination must be with one or more operating businesses or assets with a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the net assets held in the Trust Account (excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on the interest earned on the Trust Account) at the time the Company signs a definitive agreement in connection with 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 provides its holders of the Public Shares (the “Public Shareholders”) with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of a Business Combination either (i) in
F-
26

Table of Contents
connection with a shareholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek shareholder approval of a Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion. The Public Shareholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account (at $10.00 per share, plus any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its tax obligations). The
per-share
amount to be distributed to Public Shareholders 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 7).
All of the Public Shares contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such Public Shares in connection with the Company’s liquidation, if there is a shareholder vote or tender offer in connection with the initial Business Combination and in connection with certain amendments to the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association.
In accordance with SEC and its guidance on redeemable equity instruments, which has been codified in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic
480-10-S99,
redemption provisions not solely within the control of a company require ordinary shares subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity. Given that the Public Shares will be issued with Public Warrants, the initial carrying value of ordinary shares classified as temporary equity will be the allocated proceeds determined in accordance with FASB ASC
470-20.
The Public Shares are subject to FASB ASC
480-10-S99.
If it is probable that the equity instrument will become redeemable, the Company has the option to either (i) accrete changes in the redemption value over the period from the date of issuance (or from the date that it becomes probable that the instrument will become redeemable, if later) to the earliest redemption date of the instrument or (ii) recognize changes in the redemption value immediately as they occur and adjust the carrying amount of the instrument to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. The Company has elected to recognize the changes immediately.
The ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are recorded at a redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the IPO, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” In such case, the Company will proceed with a Business Combination if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 upon such consummation of a Business Combination and a majority of the shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination. If a shareholder vote is not required by law and the Company does not decide to hold a shareholder vote for business or other legal reasons, the Company will, pursuant to the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association which will be adopted by the Company upon the consummation of the Initial Public Offering (the “Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association”), conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination. If, however, a shareholder approval of the transactions is required by law, or the Company decides to obtain shareholder 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 Shareholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed transaction. If the Company seeks shareholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, the holders of the Founder Shares prior to this Initial Public Offering (the “Initial Shareholders”) agreed to vote their Founder Shares (as defined in Note 5) and any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering in favor of a Business Combination. In addition, the Initial Shareholders agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares and Public Shares in connection with the completion of a Business Combination. In addition, the Company agreed not to enter into a definitive agreement regarding an initial Business Combination without the prior consent of the Sponsor.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association will provide that a Public Shareholder, together with any affiliate of such shareholder or any other person with
F-
27

Table of Contents
whom such shareholder 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 15% or more of the Class A ordinary shares sold in the Initial Public Offering, without the prior consent of the Company.
The Company’s Sponsor, executive officers, directors and director nominees agreed not to propose an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association that would affect the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to provide for the redemption of its Public Shares in connection with a Business Combination or to redeem 100% of its Public Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination, unless the Company provides the Public Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Class A ordinary 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 March 11, 2023 (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 fund Regulatory Withdrawals (as defined in the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association), subject to an annual limit of $250,000, for a maximum of 24 months and/or to pay its income taxes, if any (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of the then-outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Public Shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any); and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining shareholders and the board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii), to the Company’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.
In connection with the redemption of 100% of the Company’s outstanding Public Shares for a portion of the funds held in the Trust Account, each holder will receive a full pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account, plus any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay the Company’s taxes payable (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses).
The Initial Shareholders 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, if the Initial Shareholders should acquire Public Shares in or after the Initial Public Offering, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such Public Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. The underwriters agreed to waive their rights to their deferred underwriting commission (see Note 7) 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 funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the Company’s 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 per share initially held in the Trust Account. In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor agreed that it will be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or other similar agreement or business combination agreement, 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 as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, if less than $10.00 per share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, less taxes payable, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or prospective target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the Trust Account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) nor will it apply to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including
F-
28

Table of Contents
liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). In the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third-party claims. 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 vendors, service providers (except the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm), 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.
Proposed Business Combination
On December 12, 2021, (a) the Company and Saturn Acquisition (DE) Corp. (“Merger Sub”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as it may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”) with Warehouse Technologies LLC (“Warehouse”) and Symbotic Holdings LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Warehouse (“Symbotic Holdings”), and (b) Warehouse and Symbotic Holdings entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as it may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Company Merger Agreement”). If the Company Merger Agreement, the Merger Agreement, the transactions contemplated thereby are adopted by the Company’s shareholders and Warehouse’s unitholders, as applicable, (i) Warehouse will merge with and into Symbotic Holdings, with Symbotic Holdings surviving the merger (sometimes hereinafter referred to as “Interim Symbotic”) and (ii) immediately thereafter, Merger Sub will merge with and into Interim Symbotic (the “Merger,” and, together with the Domestication and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the “Business Combination”), with Interim Symbotic surviving the merger as a subsidiary of the Post-Combination Company (“New Symbotic Holdings”). Prior to the consummation of the Merger, the Company will transfer by way of continuation from the Cayman Islands and domesticate as a Delaware corporation (the “Domestication”). Following the Domestication and simultaneously with the Business Combination, the Company will change its corporate name to “Symbotic Inc.” (the “Post-Combination Company” or “Symbotic Inc.”).
In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, the Company entered into Subscription Agreements (the “Subscription Agreements”) with certain parties subscribing for shares of the Post-Combination Company’s Class A common stock (the “Subscribers”) pursuant to which the Subscribers have agreed to purchase, and the Company has agreed to sell the Subscribers, an aggregate of 20,500,000 shares of the Post-Combination Company’s Class A common stock, at a purchase price of $10.00 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $205,000,000. The obligations to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Subscription Agreements are conditioned upon, among other things, customary closing conditions and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.
Each Surviving Company Common Unit may be redeemed by the holder for shares of Surviving Pubco Class A Common Stock (or an equivalent amount in cash, at the option of the Surviving Company, subject to the provisions of the limited liability company agreement of the Surviving Company) at a value equal to the arithmetic mean of the volume-weighted average price of a share of Surviving Pubco Class A Common Stock for the full five trading days ending prior to the redemption date, subject to certain exceptions. Upon such redemption, a number of shares of Surviving
Pubco Class V-3 Common
Stock or Surviving Pubco Class
V-1
Common Stock, as applicable, equal to the number of redeemed Surviving Company Common Units, will be transferred to the Surviving Pubco and cancelled by the Surviving Pubco.
Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Company is required to cause the shares of Surviving Pubco Class A Common Stock to be issued in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the “
Transactions
”) to be listed on the NASDAQ prior to the date of the Closing and to be eligible for continued listing on NASDAQ immediately following the Closing (as if the listing were a new initial listing by an issuer that had never been listed prior to the Closing).

Liquidity and Going Concern
As of December 31, 2021, the Company had approximately $813,000 in its operating bank account and working capital deficit of approximately $2.5 million.
Prior to the completion of the Initial Public Offering, the Company’s liquidity needs were satisfied through the payment by the Company’s Sponsor of $25,000 for certain offering costs on the Company’s behalf in exchange for the issuance of the Founder Shares, and borrowings under the Company’s promissory note with its Sponsor of $300,000 as well as additional advances of approximately $114,000. The Company fully repaid the Note balance and the advance from the Sponsor as of December 31, 2021. Subsequent to the consummation of the Initial Public Offering and Private Placement, the Company’s liquidity needs were satisfied with a portion of the proceeds of $10.4 million from the consummation of the Private Placement not held in the Trust Account. In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor may, but is not obligated to, provide the Company Working Capital Loans (see Note 4). On August 10, 2021 the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company $2.0 million as the Working Capital Loan. On November 9, 2021 the Sponsor and the Company agreed to amend this loan to increase the commitment by $1.0 million. As of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there were no amounts outstanding under any Working Capital Loans.
In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations management has determined that the mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution if the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination with 24 months from closing of the Initial Public Offering, or March 11, 2023, raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of time which is considered to be one year from the issuance of these financial statements. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustment that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
Risks and Uncertainties
Management continues to evaluate the impact of the
COVID-19
pandemic on the industry and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the virus could have a negative effect on the Company’s financial position, results of its operations and/or search for a target company, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of these financial statements. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Note 2—Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Policies
Basis of presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchanges Commission (“SEC”).
Emerging Growth Company Status
The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by 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 auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, 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 shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.
F-
30

Table of Contents
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 consolidated 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.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated 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, liabilities and expenses at the date of the financial statements.
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 confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company had no cash equivalents held outside the Trust Account as of December 31, 2021 and 2020.
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 Corporation coverage limit of $250,000 and investments held in the Trust Account. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company had not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts.
Investments Held in Trust Account
The Company’s portfolio of investments is comprised of 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 investments in money market funds that invest in U.S. government securities and generally have a readily determinable fair value, or a combination thereof. When the Company’s investments held in the Trust Account are comprised of U.S. government securities, the investments are classified as trading securities. When the Company’s investments held in the Trust Account are comprised of money market funds, the investments are recognized at fair value. Trading securities and investments in money market funds are presented on the accompanying balance sheets at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value of these securities is included in income from investments held in Trust Account in the accompanying statements of operations. The estimated fair values of investments held in the Trust Account are determined using available market information.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities equal or approximate the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying balance sheets.
Fair Value Measurements
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 consist of:

| • |  | Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) 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 December 31, 2021 and 2020, the carrying values of cash, prepaid expense, due from related party, accounts payable, accrued expenses, due to related party and note payable to related party approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of the instruments. The fair value of investments held in Trust Account is determined using quoted prices in active markets.
Offering Costs Associated with the Initial Public Offering
Offering costs consist of legal, accounting, underwriting and other costs incurred that were directly related to the Initial Public Offering. Offering costs were allocated between the Private Placement Shares and the Public Shares based on a relative fair value basis, compared to total proceeds received. Additionally, at the Initial Public Offering, offering costs allocated to the Public Shares were charged against temporary equity and offering costs allocated to the Private Placement Shares were charged against shareholders’ equity (deficit). Deferred underwriting commissions are classified as
non-current
liabilities as their liquidation is not reasonably expected to require the use of current assets or require the creation of current liabilities.
Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption
The Company accounts for its Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC 480. Class A ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as liability instruments and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable Class A ordinary shares (including Class A ordinary shares that feature 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) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, Class A ordinary shares are classified as shareholders’ equity (deficit). The Company’s Class A ordinary shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, at the Initial Public Offering and as of December 31, 2021, 32,000,000 Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are presented as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ equity (deficit) section of the Company’s balance sheets.
F-
32

Table of Contents
The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of the Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Effective with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company recognized the accretion from initial book value to redemption amount value. The change in the carrying value of redeemable shares of Class A ordinary shares resulted in charges against
additional paid-in
capital and accumulated deficit. As of December 31, 2021, the Company recorded an adjustment to present the redeemable Class A ordinary shares at redemption value of $17,455,524, of which $10,407,979 was recorded against additional
paid-in
capital and $7,047,545 was recorded in accumulated deficit.
Income Taxes
The Company complies with the accounting and reporting requirements of ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”) which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in future taxable or deductible amounts, based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to 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’s management determined that the Cayman Islands is the Company’s only major tax jurisdiction. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of December 31, 2021. 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 considered an exempted Cayman Islands Company and is presently not subject to income taxes or income tax filing requirements in the Cayman Islands or the United States. As such, the Company’s tax provision was zero for the period presented.
Net Loss per Ordinary Share
The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” Income and losses are shared pro rata between Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption and
non-redeemable
ordinary shares. Net loss per ordinary share is calculated by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the respective period. Non-redeemable ordinary shares include Founder Shares and Private Placement Shares as these shares do not have any redemption features. Diluted net loss per share is the same as basic net loss per share for the Year Ended December 31, 2021 and for the period from December 11, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2020. Accretion associated with the redeemable Class A ordinary shares is excluded from earnings per share as the redemption value approximates fair value.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update
(“ASU”) No. 2020-06,
“Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options
(Subtopic 470-20) and
Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity
(Subtopic 815-40): Accounting
for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity”
(“ASU 2020-06”),
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 for emerging growth companies, which simplified accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current GAAP. The ASU also removed certain settlement conditions that are required for equity-linked contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception, and it simplified the diluted earnings per share calculation in certain areas. The provisions of ASU 2020-06 are applicable for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, with early adoption permitted no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company early adopted
ASU 2020-06 on
January 1, 2021. Adoption of the ASU did not impact the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.
Note 3—Initial Public Offering
On March 11, 2021, the Company consummated its Initial Public Offering of 32,000,000 Public Shares, including the 4,000,000 Public Shares as a result of the underwriters’ full exercise of their over-allotment option, at an offering price of $10.00 per Public Share, generating gross proceeds of $320.0 million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $18.1 million, of which approximately $11.2 million was for deferred underwriting commissions. On April 22, 2021, the underwriters made a payment to the Company in an amount of $640,000 to reimburse certain of the expenses in connection with its Initial Public Offering.
Of the 32,000,000 Public Shares, an aggregate of 112,500 Public Shares was purchased by certain of the Company’s directors and officers (the “Affiliated Shares”).

Note 4—Related Party Transactions
Founder Shares
On December 14, 2020, the Company issued 2,875,000 Class B ordinary shares to the Sponsor in exchange for the payment of $25,000 from the Sponsor to cover for certain expenses on behalf of the Company. On January 29, 2021, the Company effected a share dividend of 12,125,000 Class B ordinary shares, which was retroactively restated to 2020, and on February 3, 2021 and February 26, 2021, the Sponsor surrendered 5,000,000 and 2,000,000 Class B ordinary shares for no consideration, respectively. The share dividend and share surrender resulted in an aggregate of 8,000,000 Class B ordinary shares outstanding. All shares and associated amounts have been retroactively restated to reflect the share capitalization as of December 11, 2020 (inception). The holders of the Founder Shares agreed to forfeit up to an aggregate of 1,000,000 Founder Shares, on a pro rata basis, to the extent that the option to purchase additional shares was not exercised in full by the underwriters, so that the Founder Shares would represent 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares after the Initial Public Offering (excluding the Private Placement Shares and the Forward Purchase Shares). The underwriters fully exercised the over-allotment option on March 11, 2021; thus, these 1,000,000 Founder Shares are no longer subject to forfeiture.
The Initial Shareholders agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Founder Shares and the Forward Purchase Investor agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of its Forward Purchase Shares until the earlier to occur of (A) one year after the completion of the initial Business Combination and (B) subsequent to the initial Business Combination, (x) if the closing price of the Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share subdivisions, share capitalizations, 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 (y) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of the Public Shareholders having the right to exchange their ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property.
Prior to closing the Initial Public Offering, in February 2021, the Sponsor transferred 100,000 shares of our Class B ordinary shares to the Company’s independent directors. Subsequent to the IPO, in April 2021, the Sponsor transferred an additional 50,000 shares of our Class B ordinary shares to a Company independent director (the “Transferred Shares”). The Transferred Shares shall vest upon the Company consummating an Initial Business Combination.
The sale or transfers of the Founders Shares to members of the Company’s the board of directors, as described above, is within the scope of FASB ASC Topic 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”). Under ASC 718, stock-based compensation associated with equity-classified awards is measured at fair value upon the grant date. The Founders Shares were effectively sold or transferred subject to a performance condition (i.e., the occurrence of a Business Combination). Compensation expense related to the Founders Shares is recognized only when the performance condition is probable of occurrence under the applicable accounting literature in this circumstance. A business combination is not probable until it is completed. Stock-based compensation would be recognized at the date a Business Combination is considered probable in an amount equal to the number of Founders Shares times the grant date fair value per share (unless subsequently modified) less the amount initially received for the purchase of the Founders Shares. As of December 31, 2021, the Company determined that a Business Combination is not considered probable until the business combination is completed, and therefore, no stock-based compensation expense has been recognized.
Private Placement Shares
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the Private Placement of 1,040,000 Private Placement Shares, at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Share to the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of $10.4 million.
F-

Table of Contents
A portion of the proceeds from the Private Placement Shares 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 proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement share held in the Trust Account will be used to fund the redemption of the Public Shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law) and the Private Placement Shares will be worthless.
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 Shares until 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination, as such are considered
non-redeemable
and presented as permanent equity in the Company’s balance sheets.
Related Party Loans
On December 14, 2020, the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company up to $300,000 pursuant to a promissory note (the “Note”). The Note was
non-interest
bearing, unsecured and due upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering. As of March 11, 2021, the Company fully borrowed $300,000 under the Note. In addition, the Sponsor also advanced approximately $114,000 to the Company. The Company fully repaid the Note balance and the advance from the Sponsor, for a total of approximately $414,000, on March 15, 2021.
In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor, members of the Company’s founding team or any of their affiliates 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 will 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. The Working Capital Loans would either be repaid upon consummation of a Business Combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $2.0 million of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into shares of the post Business Combination entity at a price of $10.00 per share. The shares would be identical to the Private Placement Shares. 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. On August 10, 2021 the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company $2.0 million as the Working Capital Loan. On November 9, 2021 the Sponsor and the Company agreed to amend this loan to increase the commitment by $1.0 million. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company had no borrowings under the Working Capital Loans.
Administrative Services Agreement
Commencing on the date that the Company’s securities were first listed on the NASDAQ through the earlier of consummation of the initial Business Combination and the liquidation, the Company agreed to pay the Sponsor $10,000 per month for office space, secretarial and administrative services provided to the Company by an affiliate of the Sponsor.
The Company incurred $100,000 in such fees included as general and administrative expenses to related party on the accompanying audited statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021. As of December 31, 2021, $100,000 is due to the Sponsor and is included in due to related party on the accompanying balance sheets. There was no balance due to related party at December 31, 2020.
In addition, the Sponsor, officers and directors, or their respective affiliates will be reimbursed for any
out-of-pocket
expenses incurred in connection with activities on the Company’s behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable Business Combinations. The Company’s audit committee will review on a quarterly basis all payments that were made by the Company to the Sponsor, executive officers or directors, or their affiliates. Any such payments prior to an initial Business Combination will be made using funds held outside the Trust Account.

In addition to the administrative services agreement fee of $100,000 (as noted above) approximately 459,000, is due to the Sponsor’s affiliates for reimbursements of expenses and is included in due to related party on the accompanying balance sheets as of December 31, 2021. There was no balance due to related party at December 31,2020.
Note 5—Commitments and Contingencies
Registration and Shareholder Rights
The holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Shares, and any shares that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans (and any Class A ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of the Founder Shares) were entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration and shareholder rights agreement signed upon the effective date of the Initial Public Offering. The holders of these securities were entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company registers such securities. In addition, the holders had certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of the initial Business Combination. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.
Underwriting Agreement
The Company granted the underwriters
a 45-day
option from the date of the prospectus to purchase up to 4,000,000 additional shares at the Initial Public Offering price less the underwriting discounts and commissions.
The underwriters fully exercised the over-allotment option on March 11, 2021. The underwriters were entitled to an underwriting discount of $0.20 per unit, or $6.4 million in the aggregate, paid upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering. In addition, $0.35 per unit, or approximately $11.2 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. On April 22, 2021, the underwriters made a payment to the Company in an amount of $640,000 to reimburse certain of the expenses in connection with its Initial Public Offering.
Forward Purchase Agreement
The Company entered into a forward purchase agreement (a “Forward Purchase Agreement”) with SVF II SPAC Investment 3 (DE) LLC (the “Forward Purchase Investor”), which provides for the purchase of $150 million forward purchase shares (the “Forward Purchase Shares”), for $10.00 per share, in a private placement to close substantially concurrently with the closing of the initial Business Combination. The Forward Purchase Agreement also provides that the Forward Purchase Investor may elect to purchase up to an additional $50 million of Forward Purchase Shares, for a purchase price of $10.00 per share. Any elections to purchase up to 5,000,000 additional Forward Purchase Shares will take place in one or more private placements in such amounts and at such time as the Forward Purchase Investor determine, but no later than simultaneously with the closing of the initial Business Combination. The Company and the Forward Purchase Investor may determine, by mutual agreement, to increase the number of additional Forward Purchase Shares at any time prior to the initial Business Combination. The obligations under the Forward Purchase Agreement do not depend on whether any Class A ordinary shares are redeemed by the Public Shareholders. The forward purchase securities will be issued only in connection with the closing of the initial Business Combination. The proceeds from the sale of forward purchase securities may be used as part of the consideration to the sellers in the initial Business Combination, expenses in connection with the initial Business Combination or for working capital in the post-transaction company.

A Ordinary Shares
—The Company is authorized to issue 200,000,000 Class A ordinary shares with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Holders of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares are entitled to one vote for each share. As of December 31, 2021, there were 33,040,000 shares of Class A ordinary shares outstanding, of which 32,000,000 were subject to possible redemption and are classified outside of permanent equity in the accompanying balance sheets (see Note 6). As of December 31, 2020, there were no Class A ordinary shares issued or outstanding.
Class
B Ordinary Shares
—The Company is authorized to issue 20,000,000 Class B ordinary shares with a par value of $0.0001 per share. On December 14, 2020, the Company issued 2,875,000 Class B ordinary shares to the Sponsor. On January 29, 2021, the Company effected a share dividend of 12,125,000 Class B ordinary shares and on February 3 and February 26, 2021, the Sponsor surrendered 5,000,000 and 2,000,000 Class B ordinary shares for no consideration, respectively. The share dividend and share surrender resulted in an aggregate of 8,000,000 Class B ordinary shares outstanding. All shares and associated amounts have been retroactively restated to reflect the share capitalization. Of the 8,000,000 Class B ordinary shares outstanding, up to 1,000,000 Class B ordinary shares were subject to forfeiture, to the Company by the Initial Shareholders for no consideration to the extent that the underwriters’ over-allotment option was not exercised in full or in part, so that the Initial Shareholders would collectively own 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding ordinary shares after the Initial Public Offering (excluding the Private Placement Shares and the Forward Purchase Shares). The underwriters fully exercised the over-allotment option on March 11, 2021; thus, these 1,000,000 Founder Shares were no longer subject to forfeiture. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, there were 8,000,000 Class B ordinary shares outstanding.
Ordinary shareholders of record are entitled to one vote
for each share held on all matters to be voted on by shareholders. Holders of Class A ordinary shares and holders of Class B ordinary shares will vote together as a single class on all matters submitted to a vote of the shareholders except as required by law.
The Class B ordinary shares will automatically convert into Class A ordinary shares at the time of the initial Business Combination or earlier at the option of the holders thereof at a ratio such that the number of Class A

ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of all Founder Shares will equal, in the aggregate, on an as-converted basis, 20% of the sum of (i) the total number of ordinary shares issued and outstanding upon completion of the Initial Public Offering, plus (ii) the total number of Class A ordinary shares issued or deemed issued or issuable upon conversion or exercise of any equity-linked securities or rights issued or deemed issued, by the Company in connection with or in relation to the consummation of the initial Business Combination, excluding the number of Class A ordinary shares to be sold pursuant to the Private Placement Shares Purchase Agreement and the Forward Purchase Agreement and any Class A ordinary shares or equity-linked securities exercisable for or convertible into Class A ordinary shares issued, deemed issued, or to be issued, to any seller in the initial Business Combination and any private placement shares issued to the Sponsor, its affiliates or any member of the management team upon conversion of Working Capital Loans. In no event will the Class B ordinary shares convert into Class A ordinary shares at a rate of less than one-to-one.
Note 8—Fair Value Measurements
The following table presents information about the Company’s assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2021 and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques that the Company utilized to determine such fair value.

WAREHOUSE TECHNOLOGIES LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Organization and Operations
Warehouse Technologies LLC (the “Company”), headquartered in New Hampshire, is a limited liability company that was formed in December 2006 to make investments in companies that develop new technologies to improve operating efficiencies in modern warehouses. Symbotic LLC (“Symbotic”), a technology company that develops and commercializes innovative technologies for use within warehouse operations and Symbotic Group Holdings, ULC (“Symbotic Canada”) are wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in U.S. dollars, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. Accordingly, these unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto as of and for the year ended September 25, 2021.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries and reflect all adjustments (consisting solely of normal, recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of results for the interim periods presented. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any future period or the entire fiscal year.
The Company operates and reports using a
52-53
week fiscal year ending on the last Saturday closest to September 30. Accordingly, the Company’s fiscal quarters end on the last Saturday that falls closest to the last day of the third month of each quarter.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of unaudited consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments, and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses, and the amounts disclosed in the related notes to the consolidated financial statements. Actual results and outcomes may differ materially from management’s estimates, judgments, and assumptions. Significant estimates, judgments, and assumptions used in these financial statements include, but are not limited to, those related to revenue, useful lives and realizability of long-lived assets, accounting for income taxes and related valuation allowances, and the fair value of certain unit-based awards issued. Estimates are periodically reviewed in light of changes in circumstances, facts, and experience.
The
COVID-19
pandemic has resulted in a sustained global slowdown of economic activity that has decreased demand for a broad variety of goods and services, including from our customers. While we have not experienced significant disruptions from the
COVID-19
pandemic during the first two quarters of fiscal 2022, we are unable to accurately predict the extent to which the
COVID-19
pandemic may impact our business, results of operations, and financial condition going forward. Estimates and assumptions about future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty and therefore require the exercise of judgment. As of the date of issuance of these financial statements, we are not aware of any specific event or circumstance that would require us to update our estimates, assumptions, and judgments or revise the carrying value of our assets or liabilities. These estimates

may change as new events occur and additional information is obtained and will be recognized in the consolidated financial statements as soon as they become known. Actual results could differ from those estimates and any such differences may be material to our financial statements.
Significant Accounting Policies
The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in Note 2,

, to the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto as of and for the year ended September 25, 2021. There have been no material changes to the significant accounting policies during the six month period ended March 26, 2022.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) that are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, the Company believes that recently issued standards, which are not yet effective, will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
3. Revenue
The Company generates revenue through its design and installation of modular inventory management systems (the “Systems”) to automate customers’ depalletizing, storage, selection, and palletization warehousing processes. The Systems have both a hardware component and an embedded software component that enables the system to be programmed to operate within specific customer environments. The Company enters into contracts with customers that can include various combinations of services to design and install the Systems. These services are generally distinct and accounted for as separate performance obligations. As a result, each customer contract may contain multiple performance obligations. The Company determines whether performance obligations are distinct based on whether the customer can benefit from the product or service on its own or together with other resources that are readily available and whether the Company’s commitment to provide the services to the customer is separately identifiable from other obligations in the contract.
The Company recognizes revenue upon transfer of control of promised goods or services in a contract with a customer, generally as title and risk of loss pass to the customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those products or services. Revenue is recognized only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of revenue will not occur and when collection is considered probable. In instances where the timing of revenue recognition differs from the timing of invoicing, the Company has determined its contracts do not include a significant financing component. Taxes collected from customers, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities, are excluded from revenue. Shipping and handling costs billed to customers are included in revenue and the related costs are included in cost of revenue when control transfers to the customer. The Company presents amounts collected from customers for sales and other taxes net of the related amounts remitted.
The design, assembly, and installation of a system includes substantive customer-specified acceptance criteria that allow the customer to accept or reject systems that do not meet the customer’s specifications. When the Company cannot objectively determine that acceptance criteria will be met upon contract inception, revenue relating to systems is deferred and recognized at a point in time upon final acceptance from the customer. If acceptance can be reasonably certain upon contract inception, revenue is recognized over time based on an input method, using a
cost-to-cost
measure of progress. During fiscal year 2021, the Company was able to objectively determine that acceptance criteria will be met upon contract inception, and as such, for contracts with customers entered into during fiscal year 2021 and fiscal year 2022, revenue related to systems is accounted for over time as described above. For all other contracts with customers entered into prior to fiscal year 2021, revenue relating to systems is deferred and recognized at a point in time upon final acceptance, which is when the customer has obtained control of the system.

Disaggregation of Revenue
The Company provides disaggregation of revenue based on product and service type on the consolidated statements of operations as it believes these categories best depict how the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors.
Contract Balances
The following table provides information about accounts receivable and contract liabilities from contracts with customers (in thousands):

|  | Period Ended |
|  | March 26, 2022 |  |  | September 25, 2021 |
Accounts receivable |  | $ | 28,598 |  |  | $ | 63,370 |
Contract liabilities |  | $ | 469,078 |  |  | $ | 475,956 |

The change in the opening and closing balances of the Company’s contract liabilities primarily results from the timing difference between the Company’s performance and the customer’s payment. The Company’s performance obligations are typically satisfied over time as work is performed. Payment from customers can vary, and is often received in advance of satisfaction of the performance obligations, resulting in a contract liability balance. During the six months ended March 26, 2022 and March 27, 2021, the Company recognized $140.6 million and $3.0 million, respectively, of the contract liability balance as revenue upon transfer of the products or services to customers.
Remaining Performance Obligations
Remaining performance obligations represent the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to performance obligations not delivered, or partially undelivered, at the end of the reporting period. Remaining performance obligations include deferred revenue plus unbilled amounts not yet recorded in deferred revenue. Remaining performance obligation estimates are subject to change and are affected by several factors, including terminations, changes in scope of contracts, periodic revalidation, adjustments for revenue that have not materialized, and adjustments for currency. For contracts with a duration of greater than one year, the transaction price allocated to performance obligations that are unsatisfied as of March 26, 2022 was $5.2 billion, which is primarily comprised of undelivered or partially undelivered Systems under contract, and which a substantial majority relates to undelivered or partially undelivered Systems in connection with the Master Automation Agreement with Walmart to implement systems in 25 of Walmart’s 42 regional distribution centers. The definition of remaining performance obligations excludes: (i) any variable consideration, and (ii) those contracts that provide the customer with the right to cancel or terminate the contract without incurring a substantial penalty. The Company expects to recognize approximately 12% of its remaining performance obligations as revenue in the next 12 months. Subsequently, approximately 46% of the remaining performance obligations is expected to be recognized as revenue through fiscal year 2025, and the remaining 42% is expected to be recognized as revenue through fiscal year 2028. The Company does not disclose the value of remaining performance obligations for contracts with an original expected duration of one year or less.
Significant Customers
For the three months ended March 26, 2022, there was one customer that individually accounted for 10% or more of total revenue, which represented 92% of the Company’s total revenue. For the three months ended March 27, 2021, there was one customer that individually accounted for 10% or more of total revenue, which represented 77% of the Company’s total revenue. For the six months ended March 26, 2022, there was one customer that individually accounted for 10% or more of total revenue, which represented 90% of the Company’s total revenue. For the six months ended March 27, 2021, there were three customers that individually accounted for

Table of Contents
10% or more of total revenue, which in the aggregate represented 89% of the Company’s total revenue. For the six months ended March 27, 2021, the three customers that accounted for 10% or more of total revenue individually accounted for 65%, 13%, and 11% of the Company’s total revenue. At March 26, 2022, there were two customers that accounted for 98% of the Company’s accounts receivable balance, and four customers that accounted for 100% of the Company’s accounts receivable balance at September 25, 2021. At March 26, 2022, individually these two customers accounted for approximately 65% and 33% of the Company’s accounts receivable balance. At September 25, 2021, individually these four customers accounted for approximately 97%, 1%, 1%, and 1% of the Company’s accounts receivable balance. The concentration in the volume of business transacted with these customers may lead to a material impact on the Company’s results from operations if a total or partial loss of the business relationship were to occur. As of the date of the issuance of these financial statements, the Company is not aware of any specific event or circumstance which would result in a material adverse impact to its results of operations or liquidity and financial condition.
4. Inventories
Inventories at March 26, 2022 and September 25, 2021 consist of the following (in thousands):

|  | March 26, 2022 |  |  | September 25, 2021 |
Raw materials and components |  | $ | 66,102 |  |  | $ | 33,065 |

Total inventories |  | $ | 72,339 |  |  | $ | 33,561 |

5. Property and Equipment
Property and equipment at March 26, 2022 and September 25, 2021 consists of the following (in thousands):

|  | March 26, 2022 |  |  | September 25, 2021 |
Computer equipment and software, furniture and fixtures, and test equipment |  | $ | 37,427 |  |  | $ | 34,268 |

Property and equipment, net |  | $ | 19,201 |  |  | $ | 18,617 |

Depreciation expense was $1.3 million for the three months ended March 26, 2022, $2.5 million for the six months ended March 26, 2022, $0.8 million for the three months ended March 27, 2021, and $1.6 million for the six months ended March 27, 2021.
6. Fair Value Measures
The fair value measurement accounting standards establish a framework for measuring fair value and expand disclosures about fair value measurements. The standard does not require any new fair value measurements; rather, it applies to other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. This pronouncement also establishes a three-level hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.
F-49

Table of Contents
The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability on the measurement date. The three levels are defined as follows:
Level 1—inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for an identical asset or liability in an active market
Level 2—inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for a similar asset or liability in an active market or model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability
Level 3—inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement of the asset or liability
The following table presents the Company’s financial assets measured and recorded at fair value on a recurring basis using the above input categories as of March 26, 2022 and September 25, 2021 (in thousands):

|  | March 26, 2022 |  |  | September 25, 2021 |
|  | Level 1 |  |  | Level 2 |  |  | Level 3 |  |  | Total |  |  | Level 1 |  |  | Level 2 |  |  | Level 3 |  |  | Total |

The Company had no liabilities measured and recorded at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 26, 2022 and September 25, 2021.
7. Related Party Transactions
Insurance Coverage
The Company is covered under the C&S Wholesale Grocers, Inc. (“C&S”) workers’ compensation, general liability, auto liability risk, and technology errors and omissions insurance which C&S manages through the utilization of high deductible insurance policies. C&S is an affiliate of the Company as both entities are controlled by the same individual, collectively with certain family members and certain affiliated entities and trusts of the individual and his family members. The Company paid $0.6 million and $0.4 million to C&S related to this insurance coverage during the three months ended March 26, 2022 and March 27, 2021, respectively, and $1.0 million and $0.9 million during the six months ended March 26, 2022 and March 27, 2021, respectively. The amounts were expensed to operations as incurred.
Customer Contracts
The Company has customer contracts with C&S relating to software maintenance services and the operations of a warehouse automation system. Revenue of $0.9 million and $0.7 million and cost of revenue of $0.6 million and $0.7 million was recognized for the three months ended March 26, 2022 and March 27, 2021, respectively, relating to these customer contracts. Revenue of $1.7 million and $1.3 million and cost of revenue of $1.1 million and $1.2 million was recognized for the six months ended March 26, 2022 and March 27, 2021, respectively, relating to these customer contracts. There were no accounts receivable due from C&S at March 26, 2022 and September 25, 2021. There was less than $0.1 million of deferred revenue relating to contracts with C&S at March 26, 2022 and $0.5 million of deferred revenue relating to contracts with C&S at September 25, 2021.

8. Commitments and Contingencies
Contingencies
Liabilities for any loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines, penalties, and other matters are recorded when it is probable that the liability has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated. As of March 26, 2022, the Company had made appropriate provisions related to such matters and does not believe that such matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated operations, financial position, or liquidity.
Indemnifications
In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into various contracts under which it may agree to indemnify other parties for losses incurred from certain events as defined in the relevant contract, such as litigation, regulatory penalties, or claims relating to past performance. Such indemnification obligations may not be subject to maximum loss clauses. The Company has never incurred costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these indemnification obligations. As a result, the Company believes the estimated fair value of these obligations is minimal. Accordingly, the Company has no liabilities recorded for these obligations as of March 26, 2022 and September 25, 2021.
Warranty
The Company provides a limited warranty on its warehouse automation systems and has established a reserve for warranty obligations based on estimated warranty costs. The reserve is included as part of accrued expenses and other long-term liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

9. Net Loss Per Unit
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted loss per unit attributable to Class A Units and Class C Units (in thousands, except unit and per unit information) for the three and six month periods ending March 26, 2022 and March 27, 2021:

|  | Three Months Ended |  |  | Six Months Ended |
|  | March 26, 2022 |  |  | March 27, 2021 |  |  | March 26, 2022 |  |  | March 27, 2021 |
Basic and diluted loss attributable to Class A and Class C Units: |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Net loss |  | $ | (29,903 | ) |  | $ | (26,855 | ) |  | $ | (52,956 | ) |  | $ | (53,058 | )
Return on redeemable Preferred Units |  |  | (8,641 | ) |  |  | (8,231 | ) |  |  | (17,282 | ) |  |  | (16,460 | )
Loss attributable to Class A Units and Class C Units |  | $ | (38,544 | ) |  | $ | (35,086 | ) |  | $ | (70,238 | ) |  | $ | (69,518 | )
Weighted average units used in computing loss per unit attributable to Class A Units and Class C Units, basic and diluted |  |  | 6,872,944 |  |  |  | 6,426,203 |  |  |  | 6,682,894 |  |  |  | 6,426,203 |
Loss per unit attributable to Class A Units and Class C Units, basic and diluted |  | $ | (5.61 | ) |  | $ | (5.46 | ) |  | $ | (10.51 | ) |  | $ | (10.82 | )

Since the Company incurred net losses for each of the periods presented, diluted net loss per unit is the same as basic net loss per unit. All of the Company’s outstanding Warrants (defined below) were excluded in the calculation of diluted net loss per unit as the effect would be anti-dilutive.
10. Unit-based Compensation
Class C Units
The following is a summary of Class C Units outstanding and vested:

|  | Class C Units |
Balance at September 25, 2021 |  |  | 428,571 |
Granted |  |  | 8,468 |
Redeemed |  |  | — |

The Company recognized less than $0.1 million as compensation expense associated with the Class C Units for the three and six months ended March 26, 2022 and March 27, 2021. As of March 26, 2022, unrecognized compensation expense related to the unvested portion of Class C Units was $0.3 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 3.8 years.
F-52

Table of Contents
Valuation of Class C Units
The fair value of each Class C Unit granted during the three months ended March 26, 2022 and year ended September 25, 2021 was estimated on the date of the award using a combination of the market approach and income approach, which utilizes a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:

|  | March 26, 2022 |  |  | September 25, 2021 |
Dividend yield |  |  | — | % |  |  | — | %
Volatility (a) |  |  | 45.00 | % |  |  | 40.00 | %
Risk-free interest rate (b) |  |  | 2.30 | % |  |  | 0.29 | %
Expected term (years) (c) |  |  | 2.00 |  |  |  | 2.00 |

(a) | The expected volatility is estimated based on the historical volatility of a select peer group of similar publicly traded companies for a term that is consistent with the expected term of the Class C Units.

(b) | The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury constant maturity interest rate whose term is consistent with the expected term of the Class C Units.

(c) | The expected term is based on estimated liquidity event timing, which is based on a combination of scenarios with one being based on the probability of an initial public offering and the other based on the expected timing of a potential exit event under a remain private scenario.

Value Appreciation Units
The following is a summary of Value Appreciation Units (“VAP Units”) outstanding and vested:

|  | VAP Units |
Balance at September 25, 2021 |  |  | 4,039,620 |
Granted |  |  | — |
Exercised |  |  | (255,845 | )
Forfeited |  |  | (92,664 | )
Balance at March 26, 2022 |  |  | 3,691,111 |
Vested at March 26, 2022 |  |  | 3,554,588 |
Vested and exercisable at March 26, 2022 |  |  | 2,369,725 |

The Company recognized $1.1 million and less than $0.1 million as compensation expense associated with the VAP Units for the six months ended March 26, 2022 and March 27, 2021, respectively. For the three months ended March 26, 2022 and March 27, 2021, the Company recognized $0.9 million and less than $0.1 million, respectively, as compensation expense associated with the VAP Units. As of March 26, 2022, unrecognized compensation expense related to the unvested portion of VAP Units was $0.4 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.5 years.
Warrant Units
On April 30, 2021, in connection with its entry into a Subscription Agreement with Walmart, the Company issued Walmart warrants to acquire up to an aggregate of 714,022 shares of the Company’s Class A Units (the “Warrants”), subject to certain vesting conditions. Warrants equivalent to 6.5% of the Company’s outstanding and issuable Common Units, or 446,741 units, vested upon the signing of the Subscription Agreement, and had a grant date fair value of $60.44 per unit. Warrants equivalent to up to 3.5% of the Company’s outstanding and issuable Common Units, or 267,281 units, may vest in connection with conditions defined by the terms of the Warrant, as Walmart makes additional expenditures to the Company in connection with the Subscription Agreement. There are up to six tranches based on increments of additional expenditures where approximately 44,000 additional Warrants may vest per tranche. The Warrants had a grant date fair value of $60.44 per unit.
F-53

Table of Contents
Upon vesting, units may be acquired at an exercise price of $389.03. The warrant units contain customary anti-dilution, down-round, and
change-in-control
provisions. The right to purchase units in connection with the Warrant expires on April 30, 2031.
Non-cash
share-based payment expense associated with the warrant units is recognized as vesting conditions are achieved, based on the grant date fair value of the warrants. The fair value of the warrant units was determined as of the grant date in accordance with ASC 718,
Compensation – Stock Compensation
, using the Black-Scholes pricing model. The Black-Scholes pricing model is based, in part, upon assumptions for which management is required to use judgment. The assumptions made for purposes of estimating fair value under the Black-Scholes pricing model for the Warrants were as follows:

|  | Selected Assumption |
Dividend yield |  |  | 0 | %
Volatility (a) |  |  | 43.00 | %
Risk-free interest rate (b) |  |  | 1.65 | %
Expected term (years) (c) |  |  | 10.00 |

(a) | The expected volatility is estimated based on the historical volatility of a select peer group of similar publicly traded companies for a term that is consistent with the expected term of the Warrants.

(b) | The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury constant maturity interest rate whose term is consistent with the expected term of the Warrants.

(c) | The expected term is based on the contractual term of the Warrants.

In December 2021, Walmart elected to gross exercise the 446,741 vested warrant units for $173.8 million. As a result of this gross exercise, 446,741 shares of Class A Common Units were issued to Walmart, which represents a 6.5% ownership in the Company’s outstanding and issuable Common Units. At March 26, 2022, no additional warrant units had vested in accordance with the terms referenced above. As of March 26, 2022, total unrecognized cost related to
non-vested
warrants was $16.2 million, which may be expensed as vesting conditions are satisfied over the remaining term of the agreement, or 9.1 years.

12. Subsequent Events
Management has evaluated subsequent events through May 23, 2022, the date on which the unaudited consolidated financial statements were issued.
On December 12, 2021, the Company entered into an Investment and Subscription Agreement with Walmart. Pursuant to such agreement, in connection with the Second Amended and Restated Master Automation Agreement with Walmart which was entered into on May 20, 2022, (the “Amendment”), the Company will implement systems in all of Walmart’s 42 regional distribution centers. In connection with the Amendment, 267,281 warrant units granted to Walmart as described in Note 10 vested, and Walmart elected to gross exercise these vested units for approximately $104.0 million. As a result of this gross exercise, 267,281 shares of Class A Common Units were issued to Walmart, which represents a 3.7% ownership in the Company’s outstanding and issuable common units. This amendment also issued Walmart a new warrant to acquire 258,972 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Unit, subject to certain vesting conditions. Upon vesting, units may be acquired at an exercise price of $614.34

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Board of Directors and Shareholders
Warehouse Technologies LLC
Opinion on the financial statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Warehouse Technologies LLC and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of September 25, 2021 and September 26, 2020, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, changes in redeemable preferred and common units and members’ deficit, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended September 25, 2021, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of September 25, 2021 and September 26, 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended September 25, 2021, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB and in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.

The Company has an accumulated deficit of $1,155 million as of September 25, 2021 and has incurred recurring net losses since its inception. As discussed in Note 13, upon written notice, the Preferred Unit holders can redeem all of the outstanding Preferred Units. However, the Preferred Unit holders have confirmed that they will only request redemption of their Preferred Units if the Company is able to make such payments and remain solvent but not prior to February 28, 2023. In April 2021, the Company entered into an amendment to a contract with a customer whereby $185.0 million of guaranteed,
non-refundable
payments are due to the Company in accordance with the contract, of which $165.0 million has been subsequently received through the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements, and the remaining guaranteed,
non-refundable
payments are to be made during the six months following the issuance of these consolidated financial statements. As of September 25, 2021, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $156.6 million. Based on these factors, the Company believes that its cash and cash equivalents balance, combined with the guaranteed,
non-refundable
payments due from a customer subsequent to September 25, 2021 as described above will be sufficient to fund its operations for at least the next twelve months from the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation and Foreign Currency Translation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in U.S. dollars, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The functional currency for the Company’s foreign subsidiaries is based on the subsidiaries’ financial and operational environment and is the applicable local currency of the subsidiary. For the Company’s subsidiaries that transact in a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar, assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at
period-end
foreign exchange rates. Revenue and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the average foreign exchange rates for the period. Translation adjustments are excluded from the determination of net income and are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), a separate component of members’ deficit.
Certain transactions of the Company and its subsidiaries are denominated in currencies other than the functional currency. Foreign currency transaction losses were $0.1 million for the year ended September 25, 2021, less than $0.1 million for the year ended September 26, 2020, and $0.1 million for the year ended September 28, 2019, and were recorded within other income, net on the consolidated statements of operations.

Table of Contents
The Company operates and reports using a
52-53
week fiscal year ending on the last Saturday closest to September 30. Accordingly, the Company’s fiscal quarters end on the last Saturday that falls closest to the last day of the third month of each quarter. The fiscal years ended September 25, 2021, September 26, 2020, and September 28, 2019 were
52-week
periods.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments, and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses, and the amounts disclosed in the related notes to the consolidated financial statements. Actual results and outcomes may differ materially from management’s estimates, judgments, and assumptions. Significant estimates, judgments, and assumptions used in these financial statements include, but are not limited to, those related to revenue, useful lives and realizability of long-lived assets, accounting for income taxes and related valuation allowances, and the fair value of certain unit-based awards issued. Estimates are periodically reviewed in light of changes in circumstances, facts, and experience.
The
COVID-19
pandemic has resulted in a sustained global slowdown of economic activity that has decreased demand for a broad variety of goods and services, including from our customers. While we have not experienced significant disruptions from the
COVID-19
pandemic during the year ended September 26, 2021, we are unable to accurately predict the extent to which the
COVID-19
pandemic may impact our business, results of operations, and financial condition going forward. Estimates and assumptions about future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty and therefore require the exercise of judgment. As of the date of issuance of these financial statements, we are not aware of any specific event or circumstance that would require us to update our estimates, assumptions, and judgments or revise the carrying value of our assets or liabilities. These estimates may change as new events occur and additional information is obtained and will be recognized in the consolidated financial statements as soon as they become known. Actual results could differ from those estimates and any such differences may be material to our financial statements.
Operating Segments
The Company operates as one operating segment. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is regularly evaluated by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), which is the Company’s chief executive officer, in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company’s CODM evaluates the Company’s financial information and resources and assesses the performance of these resources on a consolidated basis. The Company is not organized by market and is managed and operated as one business. A single management team that reports to the chief executive officer comprehensively manages the entire business. Accordingly, the Company does not accumulate discrete financial information with respect to separate divisions and does not have separate operating or reportable segments. Since the Company operates in one operating segment, all required financial segment information can be found in the consolidated financial statements.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into cash and have original maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase. The Company invests its excess cash primarily in money market funds or demand deposit accounts of major financial institutions. Accordingly, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents are subject to minimal credit and market risk. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates fair value.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable consists primarily of trade receivables from customers. The Company estimates the allowance for doubtful accounts for accounts receivable based on the aging of the receivables, customer financial
F-63

Table of Contents
statements, historical collection experience, existing economic conditions, and other available information. The Company had no allowances for doubtful accounts at September 25, 2021, September 26, 2020, and September 28, 2019.
Concentrations of Credit Risk and Significant Customers
Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable.
The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are generally held with large financial institutions. Although the Company’s deposits may exceed federally insured limits, the financial institutions that the Company uses have high investment-grade credit ratings and, as a result, the Company believes that, as of September 25, 2021, its risk relating to deposits exceeding federally insured limits was not significant.
The Company has no significant
off-balance
sheet risk such as foreign exchange contracts, options contracts, or other hedging arrangements.
The Company believes its credit policies are prudent and reflect normal industry terms and business risk. The Company generally does not require collateral from its customers and generally requires payment 30 days from the invoice date. For each of the years ended September 25, 2021, September 26, 2020, and September 28, 2019, there were two customers that accounted for 10% or more of total revenue. In the aggregate, the top two customers accounted for approximately 95%, 87%, and 80%, of the Company’s total revenue for the years ended September 25, 2021, September 26, 2020, and September 28, 2019, respectively. Individually, the top two customers accounted for approximately 67% and 28%, 45% and 43%, and 59% and 21% of the Company’s total revenue for the years ended September 25, 2021, September 26, 2020, and September 28, 2019, respectively. At September 25, 2021 and September 26, 2020, four customers accounted for 100% of the Company’s accounts receivable balance. At September 25, 2021, individually these four customers accounted for approximately 97%, 1%, 1%, and 1% of the Company’s accounts receivable balance. At September 26, 2020, individually these four customers accounted for approximately 14%, 44%, 26%, and 16% of the Company’s accounts receivable balance. The concentration in the volume of business transacted with these customers may lead to a material impact on the Company’s results from operations if a total or partial loss of the business relationship were to occur. As of the date of issuance of these financial statements, the Company is not aware of any specific event or circumstance which would result in a material adverse impact to its results of operations or liquidity and financial condition.
Fair Value Measurements
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable. The carrying amounts of these financial instruments approximate their fair value due to their short-term nature.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost approximates actual cost on a first-in, first-out basis. Adjustments to reduce the cost of inventory to its net realizable value are made, if required, for estimated excess, obsolete, or impaired balances. At the point of the loss recognition, a new, lower cost basis for that inventory is established, and subsequent changes in facts and circumstances do not result in the restoration or increase in that newly established cost basis.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment include purchases of items with a
per-unit
value greater than $2,000 and an estimated useful life greater than one year. Property and equipment are recorded at cost upon acquisition. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method and depreciation expense is allocated between cost of revenue, research
F-64

Table of Contents
and development expenses, and selling, general, and administrative expenses on the statements of operations over the following estimated useful lives:

|  | Estimated Useful Life
Computer equipment and software, furniture and fixtures, and test equipment |  | 3-5 years
Leasehold improvements |  | Shorter of estimated useful life or remaining term of the lease

Expenditures that improve or extend the life of an asset are capitalized while repairs and maintenance expenditures are expensed as incurred. The Company periodically reviews the estimated useful lives of property and equipment. Changes to the estimated useful lives are recorded prospectively from the date of the change. As assets are retired or sold, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is included in loss from operations.
Acquired Intangible Assets and Long-Lived Assets
Acquired intangible assets consist of customer relationships and trademarks. Acquired intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives.
The Company periodically evaluates the recoverability of its long-lived assets, such as property and equipment and intangible assets, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be fully recoverable. If circumstances require a long-lived asset or asset group to be tested for impairment, then assets are required to be grouped and evaluated at the lowest level for which there are identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets. If the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the expected future undiscounted net cash flows to be generated by the assets, then an impairment charge is recognized to the extent the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value. No impairment losses were recognized in the years ended September 25, 2021, September 26, 2020, and September 28, 2019.
Revenue Recognition
On September 29, 2019, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)
2014-09,
Revenue from Contracts with Customers
(“Topic 606”) using the modified retrospective method applied to those contracts which were not completed as of the adoption date and all new contracts initiated on or after the adoption date. Revenue is recorded in accordance with the five-step model set forth by Topic 606, which involves identification of the contract, identification of performance obligations in the contract, determination of the transaction price, allocation of the transaction price to the previously identified performance obligations, and revenue recognition as the performance obligations are satisfied.
The adoption of Topic 606 did not result in a cumulative prior period adjustment to the opening balance of accumulated deficit. Further, it did not have a material impact on the timing or amount of revenue recognized in comparison to Topic 605,
Revenue Recognition
.
The Company generates revenue through its design and installation of modular inventory management systems (the “Systems”) to automate customers’ depalletizing, storage, selection, and palletization warehousing processes. The Systems have both a hardware component and an embedded software component that enables the system to be programmed to operate within specific customer environments. The Company enters into contracts with customers that can include various combinations of services to design and install the Systems. These services are generally distinct and accounted for as separate performance obligations. As a result, each customer contract may contain multiple performance obligations. The Company determines whether performance obligations are distinct based on whether the customer can benefit from the product or service on its own or together with other resources that are readily available and whether the Company’s commitment to provide the services to the customer is separately identifiable from other obligations in the contract.
F-65

Table of Contents
The Company has identified the following distinct performance obligations in its contracts with customers:

1. | Systems : The Company designs, assembles, and installs modular hardware systems and performs configuration of embedded software. Systems include the delivery of hardware and an embedded software component, sold as either a perpetual or term-based on-premise license, that automate customers’ depalletizing, storage, selection, and palletization warehousing processes. The modular hardware and embedded software are each not capable of being distinct because a customer cannot benefit from the hardware or software on their own. Accordingly, they are treated as a single performance obligation. Fees for systems are typically fixed or cost-plus fixed fee amounts that are due based on the achievement of a variety of milestones beginning at contract inception through final acceptance. The substantial majority of the Company’s embedded software component is sold as a perpetual on-premise license; however, the Company does sell an immaterial amount of term-based on-premise licenses.

2. | Software subscriptions : Software subscriptions refer to support services that provide the customer with technical support, updates, and upgrades to the embedded software license. Fees for the software subscription service are typically payable in advance on a quarterly, or annual basis over the term of the software subscription service contract, which term can range from one to 15 years but, for a substantial majority of our software subscriptions, is 15 years.

3. | Operation services : The Company provides the customer with assistance operating the system and ensuring user experience is optimized for efficiency and effectiveness. Fees for operation services are typically invoiced to customers on a time and materials basis monthly in arrears or using a fixed fee structure.

The Company recognizes revenue upon transfer of control of promised goods or services in a contract with a customer, generally as title and risk of loss pass to the customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those products or services. Revenue is recognized only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of revenue will not occur and when collection is considered probable. In instances where the timing of revenue recognition differs from the timing of invoicing, the Company has determined its contracts do not include a significant financing component. Taxes collected from customers, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities, are excluded from revenue. Shipping and handling costs billed to customers are included in revenue and the related costs are included in cost of revenue when control transfers to the customer. The Company presents amounts collected from customers for sales and other taxes net of the related amounts remitted.
For contracts that contain multiple performance obligations, the transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation based on a relative standalone selling price (“SSP”) when available. If standalone selling price is not available, the Company estimates the standalone selling price of each performance obligation, which is generally based on an expected cost plus a margin approach.
The design, assembly, and installation of a system includes substantive customer-specified acceptance criteria that allow the customer to accept or reject systems that do not meet the customer’s specifications. When the Company cannot objectively determine that acceptance criteria will be met upon contract inception, revenue relating to systems is deferred and recognized at a point in time upon final acceptance from the customer. If acceptance can be reasonably certain upon contract inception, revenue is recognized over time based on an input method, using a
cost-to-cost
measure of progress. During fiscal year 2021, the Company has been able to objectively determine that acceptance criteria will be met upon contract inception, and as such, for contracts with customers entered into during fiscal year 2021, revenue related to systems is accounted for over time as described above. For all other contracts with customers entered into prior to fiscal year 2021, revenue relating to systems is deferred and recognized at a point in time upon final acceptance, which is when the customer has obtained control of the system.
F-66

Table of Contents
The transaction price is allocated to the software subscription service performance obligation based on the respective SSP. The allocated amount is then recognized ratably over the term of the software subscription service contract. Operation services revenue is recognized over time as the services are performed and costs are incurred.
Contract liabilities consist of deferred revenue. Deferred revenue is recorded when the Company has a right to invoice or payments have been received for undelivered products or services, or in situations where revenue recognition criteria have not been met. Deferred revenue that will be recognized during the succeeding
12-month
period is recorded as current deferred revenue, and the remaining portion is recorded as long-term deferred revenue.
Costs to fulfill a contract are presented as deferred expenses on the consolidated balance sheets and consist of costs incurred by the Company to fulfill its obligations under a contract once it is obtained, but before transferring goods or services to the customer. These costs relate directly to a contract that the Company can specifically identify, are costs to generate or enhance resources of the Company that are used in satisfying performance obligations and are costs which are expected to be recovered. Accordingly, these costs are recognized on the consolidated balance sheets as an asset and are recognized consistent with the pattern of the transfer of the goods or services to which the asset relates. For all contracts, the Company recognizes anticipated contract losses as a charge to cost of revenue as soon as they become evident. As of September 25, 2021, there were no anticipated contract losses recorded in accrued expenses on the consolidated balance sheets.
The Company’s warehouse automation system generally provides for a limited warranty that promises customers that delivered products are as specified. The Company’s standard warranty provides for repair or replacement of the associated system parts during the warranty period. The Company records estimated warranty costs in the period the related revenue is recognized based on historical experience or expectations of future costs to repair or replace. Actual results could differ from these estimates, which could cause increases or decreases in warranty reserves in future periods.
The Company has not deferred sales commissions and other costs to obtain a contract because such amounts that would qualify for deferral are not material.
An allowance for future sales returns is established based on historical trends in product return rates. There was no allowance for future sales returns at September 25, 2021, September 26, 2020, and September 28, 2019.
For periods prior to September 29, 2019, the Company recognized revenue in accordance with Topic 605. Under Topic 605, revenue was recognized when all the following were met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement existed, (ii) delivery had occurred or services had been performed, (iii) the sales price was fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability was probable. There were no material differences between Topic 605 and Topic 606 relating to the timing or amount of revenue recognized.
Warrant Transactions
On April 30, 2021, the Company and Walmart Inc. (“Walmart”) entered into a Subscription Agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”), in which the Company has agreed to issue to Walmart warrants to acquire up to an aggregate of 714,022 shares of the Company’s Class A Units, subject to certain vesting conditions. Warrants equivalent to 6.5% of the Company’s outstanding and issuable Common Units, or 446,741 units, vested upon the signing of the Subscription Agreement. Warrants equivalent to up to 3.5% of the Company’s outstanding and issuable Common Units, or 267,281 units, may vest in connection with conditions defined by the terms of the Warrant, as Walmart makes additional expenditures to the Company in connection with the Subscription Agreement. Upon vesting, units may be acquired at an exercise price of $389.03. The right to purchase units in connection with the Subscription Agreement expires on April 30, 2031.

, and ASU
2019-08,
Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718) and Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)
(“ASU
2019-08”).
For awards granted to a customer which are not in exchange for distinct goods or services, the fair value of the awards earned based on service or performance conditions is recorded as a reduction of the transaction price, in accordance with ASC 606. To determine the fair value of the warrants in accordance with ASC 718, the Company used pricing models based in part on assumptions for which management is required to use judgment. Based on the fair value of the awards, the Company determines the amount of warrant expense based on the customer’s
pro-rata
achievement of vesting conditions, which is recorded as a reduction to the transaction price.
Research and Development Expenses
Costs incurred in the research and development of the Company’s products are expensed as incurred. Research and development costs include personnel, contracted services, materials, and indirect costs involved in the design and development of new products and services, as well as depreciation expense.
Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general, and administrative expenses include all costs that are not directly related to satisfaction of customer contracts or research and development. Selling, general, and administrative expenses include items for the Company’s selling and administrative functions, such as sales, finance, legal, human resources, and information technology support. These functions include costs for items such as salaries and benefits and other personnel-related costs, maintenance and supplies, professional fees for external legal, accounting, and other consulting services, intangible asset amortization, and depreciation expense.
Unit-based Compensation
Unit-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense over the vesting period of the award. The Company recognizes the effect
of pre-vesting forfeitures
as they occur. The Company classifies unit-based compensation expense in its consolidated statements of operations in the same manner in which the award recipient’s salary and related costs are classified.
Income Taxes
The Company is a multimember limited liability company and is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal and state income tax purposes. The Company makes no provision for U.S. federal or state income taxes. The Company’s Canadian entities, however, are subject to certain Canadian federal and provincial income taxes; thus, any income taxes reported in these consolidated financial statements relate to the Company’s Canadian jurisdictions (see Note 8 for further discussion).
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. 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 includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is established against net deferred tax assets if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the net deferred tax assets will not be realized.
F-68

Table of Contents
The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions using a
two-step
approach. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount which is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)
No. 2019-08,
Codification improvements—Share-Based Consideration payable to a Customer (“ASU
2019-08”).
ASU
2019-08
requires entities to measure and classify share-based payments that are granted to a customer in conjunction with a revenue arrangement and are not in exchange for a distinct good or service in accordance with FASB ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. The Company adopted ASU
2019-08
on September 27, 2020. Accordingly, warrants to purchase Class A Units issued to Walmart Inc. in April 2021 have been accounted for under ASU
2019-08.
Refer to the warrant transactions policy above and Note 15 for additional information.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU
No. 2014-09,
Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The ASU provided amended guidance on the recognition of revenue from contracts with customers. The new standard established a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes substantially all of the previous revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The new standard requires entities to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Further, the new standard requires additional disclosures to help enable users of the financial statements to better understand the nature, amount, timing, risks, and judgments related to revenue recognition and related cash flows from contracts with customers. Concurrently, the FASB issued guidance on the accounting for costs to fulfill or obtain a customer contract. On September 29, 2019, the Company adopted the guidance using the modified retrospective method applied to those contracts that were not completed as of the adoption date. Adoption of the new standard did not result in a cumulative prior period adjustment and did not have a material impact on the timing or amount of revenue recognized. Refer to the revenue recognition policy above and Note 3 for the required disclosures related to the impact of adopting this standard and a discussion of the Company’s updated policies related to revenue recognition.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No.
2016-02,
Leases
. The ASU requires lessees to recognize the assets and liabilities on their balance sheet for the rights and obligations created by most leases and continue to recognize expenses on their income statements over the lease term. Assuming the Company continues to qualify as an Emerging Growth Company (“EGC”), the guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted. The Company is in the process of aggregating and evaluating lease arrangements and implementing new processes. The Company expects the adoption will result in a material increase in its assets and liabilities upon adoption. The impact on the Company’s results of operations and cash flows is not expected to be material.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU
No. 2016-13,
Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments
, which amends the impairment model by requiring entities to use a forward-looking approach based on expected losses rather than incurred losses to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments. This may result in the earlier recognition of allowances for losses. Assuming the Company continues to qualify as an EGC, the guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the new standard to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
F-69

Table of Contents
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU

internal-use
software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal use software license). Assuming the Company continues to qualify as an EGC, the guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the new standard to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU
No. 2019-12,
Income Taxes—Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes
. The ASU simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles as well as clarifying and amending existing guidance to improve consistent application. Assuming the Company continues to qualify as an EGC, the guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the new standard to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
Other recent accounting pronouncements that are or will be applicable to the Company did not, or are not expected to, have a material impact on the Company’s present or future financial statements.
3. Revenue
Disaggregation of Revenue
The Company provides disaggregation of revenue based on product and service type on the consolidated statements of operations as it believes these categories best depict how the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors.
Contract Balances
The following table provides information about accounts receivable and contract liabilities from contracts with customers (in thousands):

|  | September 25, 2021 |  |  | September 26, 2020 |
Accounts receivable |  | $ | 63,370 |  |  | $ | 2,489 |
Contract liabilities |  | $ | 475,956 |  |  | $ | 380,779 |

The change in the opening and closing balances of the Company’s contract liabilities primarily results from the timing difference between the Company’s performance and the customer’s payment. The Company’s performance obligations are typically satisfied over time as work is performed. Payment from customers can vary, and is often received in advance of satisfaction of the performance obligations, resulting in a contract liability balance. During the years ended September 25, 2021 and September 26, 2020, the Company recognized $120.3 million and $72.6 million, respectively, of the contract liability balance as revenue upon transfer of the products or services to customers.
Remaining Performance Obligations
Remaining performance obligations represent the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to performance obligations not delivered, or partially undelivered, at the end of the reporting period. Remaining performance obligations include deferred revenue plus unbilled amounts not yet recorded in deferred revenue.
F-70

Table of Contents
Remaining performance obligation estimates are subject to change and are affected by several factors, including terminations, changes in scope of contracts, periodic revalidation, adjustments for revenue that have not materialized, and adjustments for currency. For contracts with a duration of greater than one year, the transaction price allocated to performance obligations that are unsatisfied as of September 25, 2021 was $5.4 billion, which is primarily comprised of undelivered or partially undelivered Systems under contract, and which a substantial majority relates to undelivered or partially undelivered Systems in connection with the Master Automation Agreement with Walmart to implement systems in 25 of Walmart’s 42 regional distribution centers. The definition of remaining performance obligations excludes: (i) any variable consideration, and (ii) those contracts that provide the customer with the right to cancel or terminate the contract without incurring a substantial penalty. The Company expects to recognize approximately 8% of its remaining performance obligations as revenue in the next 12 months. Subsequently, approximately 53% of the remaining performance obligations is expected to be recognized as revenue through fiscal year 2025, and the remaining 39% is expected to be recognized as revenue through fiscal year 2028. The Company does not disclose the value of remaining performance obligations for contracts with an original expected duration of one year or less.
4. Leases
The Company leases certain real estate under noncancelable operating leases. These leases expire at various dates through December 2025.
Net rental expense under operating leases amounted to $2.3 million $2.0 million, and $1.9 million for the years ended September 25, 2021, September 26, 2020, and September 28, 2019, respectively.
Future minimum lease payments under the noncancelable operating leases as of September 25, 2021 are as follows (in thousands):

|  | Total |
Fiscal year 2022 |  | $ | 2,396 |
Fiscal year 2023 |  |  | 2,316 |
Fiscal year 2024 |  |  | 2,367 |
Fiscal year 2025 |  |  | 2,069 |
Fiscal year 2026 and thereafter |  |  | 581 |

8. Income Taxes
The Company is a multimember limited liability company and is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal and state income tax purposes. Accordingly, the Company is not subject to U.S. federal income tax. Instead, its
F-72

Table of Contents
members are subject to U.S. federal income tax on their distributive share of the Company’s income, gains, and losses. Currently, the Company does not have nexus in any states in the U.S that have not adopted the U.S. federal entity classification rules. As such, the Company does not record a liability for state income taxes. The Company’s Canadian entities, however, are subject to certain Canadian federal and provincial income taxes.
There was no income tax benefit or provision for the year ended September 25, 2021, less than a $0.1 million income tax benefit for the year ended September 26, 2020, and no income tax benefit or provision for the year ended September 28, 2019.

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, the Company considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. The Company considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. The Company has recorded a valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets since after considering all of the available objective evidence, both positive and negative, historical and prospective, with greater weight given to the historical losses incurred by the Company since inception, it is more likely than not that these assets will not be realized.

Table of Contents
At September 25, 2021, the Company had Canadian net operating losses (“NOL”) carryforwards of approximately $45.1 million. The Canadian NOL carryforwards can be carried forward 20 years, expire in various years through 2039, and are subject to review and possible adjustment by the applicable taxing authority. Utilization of the Canadian NOL carryforwards may be subject to annual limitations due to ownership changes that have occurred previously or that could occur in the future. The Company has not completed any studies to determine if any of these events have occurred that would result in such limitations. Accordingly, further limitations could arise upon the completion of such studies.
The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions using a more likely than not threshold for recognizing and resolving uncertain tax positions. The Company evaluates uncertain tax positions on an annual basis and adjusts the level of the liability to reflect any subsequent changes in the relevant facts surrounding the uncertain positions. The Company elected an accounting policy to record interest and penalties related to income taxes as a component of income tax expense. For the years ended September 25, 2021 and September 26, 2020, the Company did not recognize any liabilities related to uncertain tax positions.
9. Employee Benefit Plans
Symbotic sponsors a defined-contribution benefit plan under the provisions of Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. This plan covers substantially all of the Company’s employees meeting eligibility criteria and contributions to the plan are determined by the plan provisions or at the discretion of the Board of Managers. Symbotic contributions to the plan were $1.9 million, $1.6 million, and $1.4 million for the years ended September 25, 2021, September 26, 2020, and September 28, 2019, respectively.
Symbotic Canada sponsors a Registered Retirement Savings Plan that qualifies as a defined-contribution benefit plan, which covers a portion of Symbotic Canada’s management. Symbotic Canada contributions to the plan were $0.2 million, $0.3 million, and $0.2 million for the years ended September 25, 2021, September 26, 2020, and September 28, 2019, respectively.
10. Fair Value Measures
The fair value measurement accounting standards establish a framework for measuring fair value and expand disclosures about fair value measurements. The standard does not require any new fair value measurements; rather, it applies to other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. This pronouncement also establishes a three-level hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.
The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability on the measurement date. The three levels are defined as follows:
Level 1—inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for an identical asset or liability in an active market
Level 2—inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for a similar asset or liability in an active market or model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability
Level 3—inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement of the asset or liability

11. Related Party Transactions
Insurance Coverage
The Company is covered under the C&S Wholesale Grocers, Inc. (“C&S”) workers’ compensation, general liability, auto liability risk, and technology errors and omissions insurance which C&S manages through the utilization of high deductible insurance policies. C&S is an affiliate of the Company as the same individual, certain of his family members and certain affiliated entities and trusts of the individual and his family members, in the aggregate, control both entities. The Company paid $1.8 million, $1.6 million, and $1.5 million to C&S related to this insurance coverage during the years ended September 25, 2021, September 26, 2020, and September 28, 2019, respectively. The amounts were expensed to operations as incurred.
Credit Agreement
On September 28, 2018, C&S entered into a credit agreement (the “2018 Credit Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A., which replaced and superseded a previous credit agreement. The 2018 Credit Agreement consists of a $1.5 billion revolving credit facility, including a $300.0 million letter of credit
sub-limit
and a $150 million swingline loan limit. The 2018 Credit Agreement includes an accordion feature which gives C&S the ability to increase the commitments under the 2018 Credit Agreement by up to $750 million, subject to certain conditions. The Company was not primarily responsible for the obligations under the 2018 Credit Agreement and only had joint and several liability as guarantor after a default of C&S and certain of its affiliates. On June 27, 2020, an amendment was executed which released the Company from being a named guarantor for the 2018 Credit Agreement, leaving only C&S and certain affiliates as the remaining guarantors. As a result, the Company had no liabilities associated with the 2018 Credit Agreement reported on its consolidated balance sheets.
Senior Secured Notes
On July 10, 2014, an entity affiliated with C&S issued $400.0 million in 5.375% Senior Secured Notes with a maturity date of July 15, 2022 (the “2022 Notes”). The Company was not primarily responsible for the obligations under the 2022 Notes and only had joint and several liability as guarantor after a default of the C&S and certain of its affiliates. As a result, the Company has no liabilities associated with the 2022 Notes reported on its consolidated balance sheets. On March 23, 2020, the 2022 Notes were redeemed in advance of their maturity date.
Customer Contracts
The Company has customer contracts with C&S relating to software maintenance services and the operations of a warehouse automation system. Revenue of $2.9 million, $2.4 million, and $2.9 million and cost of revenue of $2.2 million, $2.1 million, $2.7 million was recognized for the years ended September 25, 2021, September 26,
F-75

Table of Contents
2020, and September 28, 2019, respectively, relating to these customer contracts. There were no accounts receivable due from C&S at September 25, 2021 and September 26, 2020. There was $0.5 million of deferred revenue relating to contracts with C&S at September 25, 2021 and no deferred revenue relating to contracts with C&S at September 26, 2020.
12. Commitments and Contingencies
Purchase Obligations
The Company has contractual obligations to purchase goods or services, which specify significant terms, including fixed or minimum quantities to be purchased and fixed minimum, or variable price provisions. The majority of the purchase commitments covered by these arrangements are for periods of less than one year and aggregate to approximately $202.1 million as of September 25, 2021.
Lease Commitments
The Company leases certain of its facilities under operating leases expiring in various years through 2025. Refer to Note 4 for a schedule of future lease payments under noncancelable leases as of September 25, 2021.
Warranty
The Company provides a limited warranty on its warehouse automation system and has established a reserve for warranty obligations based on estimated warranty costs. The reserve is included as part of accrued expenses and other long-term liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
Activity related to the warranty accrual was as follows (in thousands):

Balance at end of period |  | $ | 3,735 |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | 450 |

Contingencies
Liabilities for any loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines, penalties, and other matters are recorded when it is probable that the liability has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated. As of September 25, 2021, the Company had made appropriate provisions related to such matters and does not believe that such matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated operations, financial position, or liquidity.
Indemnifications
In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into various contracts under which it may agree to indemnify other parties for losses incurred from certain events as defined in the relevant contract, such as litigation, regulatory penalties, or claims relating to past performance. Such indemnification obligations may not be subject to maximum loss clauses. The Company has never incurred costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these indemnification obligations. As a result, the Company believes the estimated fair value of these obligations is not material. Accordingly, the Company has no liabilities recorded for these obligations as of September 25, 2021 and September 26, 2020.

13. Membership Interests
The Company has authorized five classes of membership interests, consisting of a class of common units of the Company known as the Class A Common Units (the “Class A Units”), a class of preferred units of the Company known as the Class B Preferred Units (the “Class B Units”), a class of preferred units of the Company known as the
Class B-1
Preferred Units (the
“Class B-1
Units”), a class of preferred units of the Company known as the
Class B-2
Preferred Units (the
“Class B-2
Units”, and together with the Class B Units and the
Class B-1
Units, the “Preferred Units”) and an additional class of common units of the Company to be granted to employees, officers, and directors pursuant to an incentive plan, known as the Class C Common Units (the “Class C Units” and, together with the Class A Units, the “Common Units,” and the Common Units together with the Preferred Units, the “Units”).
The Company is authorized to issue up to 6,426,208 Units in the aggregate, of which 5,997,632 are designated as Class A Units, one Unit is designated as a Class B Unit, two Units are designated as
Class B-1
Units, two Units are designated as
Class B-2
Units and 428,571 Units are designated as Class C Units.
As of September 25, 2021, there were 5,997,632 Class A Units, one Class B Unit, one
Class B-1
Unit and 428,571 Class C Units outstanding.
During the period ended September 25, 2021, the Company received no member contribution from the holder of the
Class B-1
Unit. During the period ended September 26, 2020, the Company received $100.0 million in member contributions from the holder of the
Class B-1
Unit. These contributions are reflected as in increase in the carrying value of the
Class B-1
Unit. The Company recorded a cumulative preferred return with respect to the holder of the
Class B-1
Unit of $11.1 million and $8.7 million for the years ended September 25, 2021 and September 26, 2020, respectively. The Company recorded a cumulative preferred return with respect to the holder of the Class B Unit of $21.9 million and $20.8 million for the years ended September 25, 2021 and September 26, 2020, respectively.
Voting Rights
Each holder of Class A Units and Class C Units shall have the right to one vote per the Class A Unit or Class C Unit, respectively. Except as required by law, the Preferred Units do not have any voting rights.
Preferred Return
The holder of the Preferred Units shall be entitled to receive, in preference to the holders of the Class A Units and the Class C Units, a cumulative preferred return at a rate per annum of 5%, compounded annually, on the unreturned preferred capital of the holder’s Preferred Units (the “Preferred Return”). The Class A Units and Class C Units have no stated returns or dividends.
Liquidation Rights
In the event of liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Company, the five classes of membership interests rank in the following order of priority: the
Class B-2
Units are the most senior, followed by
Class B-1
Unit, then the Class B Unit, and then both the Class A Units and Class C Units treated as a single class. The holders of the Preferred Units are entitled to a liquidation preference equal to the sum of the Unreturned Preferred Capital (defined as the initial investment and subsequent contributions, less distributions, if any) and the applicable unpaid Preferred Return (collectively, the “Liquidation Preference”) in the order described in the preceding sentence, prior to any distribution to holders of the Class A Units and Class C Units. Upon the payment in full of the Liquidation Preference, any remaining assets available for distribution shall be distributed ratably to the holders of the Class A Units and Class C Units, however, for the Class C Units only to the extent that the value exceeds the applicable Hurdle Value (see Note 15). Any remaining value that does not exceed the Hurdle Value
F-77

Table of Contents
for any particular Class C Unit shall be distributed to the holders of Class A Units (and any other Class C Units entitled to share in the distribution) based on their respective pro rata holdings of all such Class A (and Class C) Units.
The Company classifies its redeemable Preferred Units (Class B,
B-1,
and
B-2
Units) as mezzanine equity, or outside of members’ deficit, because the units contain liquidation features that are not solely within the Company’s control.
As of September 25, 2021, the aggregate Liquidation Preference for the Class B and
B-1
Units was $691.3 million.
Redemption Rights
Upon written notice by the holders of a majority of a class of Preferred Units, the Company shall redeem all of the outstanding Preferred Units of such class. The redemption price payable to each holder of the class of Preferred Units shall equal the Liquidation Preference of the Preferred Units being redeemed. The Class C Units are subject to a put feature that allow holders to redeem vested Class C Units, subject to certain terms and conditions (see Note 15). The Class A Units do not have any redemption rights. Accordingly, the Preferred Units and the Class C Units are classified outside of permanent members’ deficit because they are redeemable by the holders.
14. Net Loss per Unit
Loss per unit attributable to Class A Units and Class C Units is calculated as the sum of net loss plus the undeclared cumulative return on Preferred Units divided by the average number of Class A Units and Class C Units outstanding for the period. Changes in the redemption value of the Class C Units are not included in the calculation of net loss attributable to Class A Units and Class C Units because the Class C Units are redeemable at intrinsic value. Therefore, the redemption does not represent an economic benefit to the holders of Class C Units that is different from what is received by other unit holders. Since the Company incurred net losses for each of the periods presented, diluted net loss per unit is the same as basic net loss per unit. The Company’s outstanding Warrant Units were excluded in the calculation of diluted net loss per unit as the effect would be anti-dilutive. There were no potentially dilutive securities for the years ended September 25, 2021 or September 26, 2020 and therefore, the basic and diluted loss per unit have been presented together.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted loss per unit attributable to Class A Units and Class C Units (in thousands, except unit and per unit information):

15. Unit-based Compensation
Class C Units
The Company periodically grants Class C Units to employees, officers, and directors which vest over a period of up to five years, as determined by the Board of Managers. Each issuance of Class C Units entitles its holder to share in the appreciation in the fair market value (“FMV”) of the Company from the date of issuance, subject to any preferences or priorities payable to the Preferred Units. The Board shall establish a “Hurdle Value”, which shall not be less than the FMV on the date of such issuance of such Class C Unit and such units shall share only in appreciation of the FMV in excess of the Hurdle Value. Any distributions made with respect to Class C Units that have not yet become vested are held in a separate account for the benefit of the holder of the unvested units until such time as the units vest.
The following is a summary of Class C Units outstanding and vested:

|  | Class C Units |

Balance at September 25, 2021 |  |  | 428,571 |
Vested at September 25, 2021 |  |  | 340,282 |

The Company recognized $0.1 million as compensation expense associated with the Class C Units for both of the years ended September 25, 2021 and September 26, 2020, and less than $0.1 million as compensation expense associated with the Class C Units for the year ended September 28, 2019. As of September 25, 2021, unrecognized compensation expense related to the unvested portion of Class C Units was $0.4 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 4.5 years.
The Class C Units are subject to a put feature that allow holders to redeem vested Class C Units. The put feature requires the holder to hold the units for at least six months from the date the Class C Units vest to the earliest date the put feature can be exercised. Accordingly, since the holder is exposed to the economic risks and rewards of unit ownership, the Class C Units are treated as equity classified awards. However, because redemption of the Class C Units is outside of the control of the Company: (i) the Class C Units are classified outside of permanent members’ deficit, and (ii) the carrying value of Class C Units is adjusted to redemption value at each reporting period through a charge to members’ deficit (until such time as the Class C Units are redeemed or forfeited).
Valuation of Class C Units
The fair value of Class C Units was determined by the Company’s Board of Managers based on enterprise valuations performed by management with the assistance of a third-party valuation firm. For the year ended September 25, 2021, the Company’s total equity value was determined using a combination of the income approach and market approach under the Hybrid Method. Under this approach, a probability-weighted expected
F-79

Table of Contents
return method was applied where two types of future event scenarios were considered: an IPO scenario and a non-IPO scenario for all other potential future exits. The relative probabilities between the future exit scenarios were based on an analysis of performance and market conditions at the time, including then-current IPO valuations of similarly situated companies and expectations as to the timing and likely prospects of future event scenarios. For the years ended September 26, 2020 and September 28, 2019, the Company’s total equity value was determined using the income approach. Under this approach, total equity value is estimated based on the present value of the Company’s future estimated cash flows. These future cash flows, including cash flows beyond the forecast period for the residual value, are discounted to their present values using an appropriate discount rate, to reflect the risks inherent in the Company achieving these estimated cash flows. The resulting equity value was then allocated to outstanding equity instruments using an option pricing model.
The fair value of each Class C Unit grant was estimated on the date of the award using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:

Dividend yield |  |  | 0 | % |  |  | 0 | % |  |  | 0 | %
Volatility (a) |  |  | 40.0 | % |  |  | 50.0 | % |  |  | 40.0 | %
Risk-free interest rate (b) |  |  | 0.29 | % |  |  | 0.12 | % |  |  | 1.58 | %
Expected term (years) (c) |  |  | 2.00 |  |  |  | 1.25 |  |  |  | 3.00 |

(a) | The expected volatility is estimated based on the historical volatility of a select peer group of similar publicly traded companies for a term that is consistent with the expected term of the Class C Units.

(b) | The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury constant maturity interest rate whose term is consistent with the expected term of the Class C Units.

(c) | The expected term is based on estimated liquidity event timing as further described above.

For the Class C Units granted during the three months ended September 25, 2021, the fair value per unit was estimated to be $407.19, for the three months ended June 26, 2021, $160.03, for the six months ended March 27, 2021 and for the year ended September 26, 2020, $5.56, and for the year ended September 28, 2019, $0.12.
Value Appreciation Units
The Company historically granted value appreciation units (“VAP Units”) to employees, officers, and directors that vested over a period of up to five years, as determined by the Board of Managers. No VAP Units were granted during the years ended September 25, 2021, September 26, 2020, and September 28, 2019. To the extent vested and exercisable, each VAP Unit may be exercised for a cash payment equal to the appreciation in the FMV of 1/100th of a Class C Unit. The following exercisability triggers must be met before any vested award may be exercised, with the achievement of each trigger allowing one third of the vested award to be exercised: (i) the end of the first fiscal year in which the Company meets or exceeds annual revenue (on a cash accounting basis) of $100 million, (ii) the end of the first fiscal year in which the Company becomes cash flow positive, and (iii) the end of the first fiscal year in which the Company generates positive earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”).

Table of Contents
The following is a summary of VAP Units outstanding and vested:

|  | VAP Units |
Balance at September 29, 2018 |  |  | 7,574,464 |
Granted |  |  | — |
Exercised |  |  | — |
Forfeited |  |  | (2,521,282 | )
Balance at September 28, 2019 |  |  | 5,053,182 |
Granted |  |  | — |
Exercised |  |  | — |
Forfeited |  |  | (663,925 | )
Balance at September 26, 2020 |  |  | 4,389,257 |
Granted |  |  | — |
Exercised |  |  | — |
Forfeited |  |  | (349,637 | )
Balance at September 25, 2021 |  |  | 4,039,620 |
Vested at September 25, 2021 |  |  | 3,672,430 |
Vested and exercisable at September 25, 2021 |  |  | 2,448,287 |

Because the VAP Units are settleable in cash, they are treated as liability classified awards. Accordingly, the carrying value of the liability is adjusted to fair value at each reporting period through a charge to earnings (until such time as the VAP Units are settled or forfeited). Further, the exercisability triggers noted above represent performance conditions that impact the vesting of the awards. Accordingly, compensation expense is not recognized until such time as the performance conditions are considered probable of achievement. During the year ended September 28, 2019, the performance conditions relating to annual revenue and cash flows were considered probable of achievement. The performance condition relating to EBITDA is not considered probable of achievement at September 25, 2021.
The Company recognized $11.6 million, $0.1 million, and $0.0 million as compensation expense associated with the VAP Units for the years ended September 25, 2021, September 26, 2020, and September 28, 2019, respectively. As of September 25, 2021, unrecognized compensation expense related to the unvested portion of VAP Units was $1.2 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.0 years.
Warrant Units
On April 30, 2021, in connection with its entry into a Subscription Agreement with Walmart, the Company issued Walmart warrants to acquire up to an aggregate of 714,022 shares of the Company’s Class A Units (the “Warrants”), subject to certain vesting conditions. Warrants equivalent to 6.5% of the Company’s outstanding and issuable Common Units, or 446,741 units, vested upon the signing of the Subscription Agreement, and had a grant date fair value of $60.44 per unit. Warrants equivalent to up to 3.5% of the Company’s outstanding and issuable Common Units, or 267,281 units, may vest in connection with conditions defined by the terms of the Warrant, as Walmart makes additional expenditures to the Company in connection with the Subscription Agreement, There are up to six tranches based on increments of additional expenditures where approximately 44,000 additional Warrants may vest per tranche. The Warrants had a grant date fair value of $60.44 per unit. Upon vesting, units may be acquired at an exercise price of $389.03. The warrant units contain customary anti-dilution, down-round, and
change-in-control
provisions. The right to purchase units in connection with the Warrant expires on April 30, 2031.
Non-cash
share-based payment expense associated with the warrant units is recognized as vesting conditions are achieved, based on the grant date fair value of the warrants. The fair value of the warrant units was determined as of the grant date in accordance with ASC 718 using the Black-Scholes pricing model. The Black-Scholes pricing
F-81

Table of Contents
model is based, in part, upon assumptions for which management is required to use judgment. The assumptions made for purposes of estimating fair value under the Black-Scholes pricing model for the Warrants were as follows:

|  | Selected Assumption |
Dividend yield |  |  | 0 | %
Volatility (a) |  |  | 43.0 | %
Risk-free interest rate (b) |  |  | 1.65 | %
Expected term (years) (c) |  |  | 10.00 |

(a) | The expected volatility is estimated based on the historical volatility of a select peer group of similar publicly traded companies for a term that is consistent with the expected term of the Warrants.

(b) | The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury constant maturity interest rate whose term is consistent with the expected term of the Warrants.

(c) | The expected term is based on the contractual term of the Warrants.

The following table summarizes stock warrant activity for the year ended September 25, 2021:

|  | Warrant Units |
Outstanding and nonvested at September 26, 2020 |  |  | — |
Granted |  |  | 714,022 |
Vested |  |  | (446,741 | )
Outstanding and nonvested at September 25, 2021 |  |  | 267,281 |

The amount of provision for warrants recorded as a reduction of the transaction price for the Warrants during the twelve months ended September 25, 2021 was $27.0 million. As of September 25, 2021, total unrecognized cost related to
non-vested
warrants was $16.2 million, which may be expensed as vesting conditions are satisfied over the remaining term of the agreement, or 9.6 years. Warrants representing 446,741 shares are vested and exercisable.

17. Subsequent Events
Management has evaluated subsequent events through February 4, 2022, the date on which the audited consolidated financial statements were available to be issued.
On December 12, 2021, SVF Investment Corp. 3 (“SVF”), the Company, Symbotic Holdings LLC (which is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company), and Saturn Acquisition (DE) Corp (which is a wholly owned subsidiary of SVF), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) that outlines the terms and conditions of a strategic transaction and merger (the “Transaction”). SVF is a blank check company incorporated for the purpose of effecting a business combination with one or more businesses or entities. Once the Transaction is executed, Saturn Acquisition (DE) Corp will merge with and into the Company, with the Company as the surviving company in the Transaction. SVF is required to file a Form
S-4/proxy
statement for the stockholders of SVF to vote on the proposed Transaction. At the closing of the Transaction, which is expected to occur in the second fiscal quarter of 2022, SVF would cease to be a shell company and a new combined company listed on the NASDAQ exchange will be created under the name Symbotic Inc.
In December 2021, Walmart elected to gross exercise the 446,741 vested warrant units as described in Note 15 for approximately $173.8 million. As a result of this gross exercise, 446,741 shares of Class A Common Units were issued to Walmart, which represents a 6.5% ownership in the Company’s outstanding and issuable Common Units.

Section
9.6

(d) The Parties acknowledge and agree that (i) in no event shall the Company be required to pay the Reimbursement Fee on more than one occasion and (ii) any payment of the Reimbursement Fee is not a penalty but is liquidated damages in a reasonable amount that will compensate SVF and Merger Sub in the circumstances in which such fee is payable for the efforts and resources expended and the opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the Transactions, which amount would otherwise be impossible to calculate with precision. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the right of SVF to receive the Reimbursement Fee shall not limit or otherwise affect the rights of SVF or Merger Sub to specific performance as provided in

Proceeding
”) by reason of the fact that such person or a person for whom such person is the legal representative is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or, while serving as a director or officer of the Corporation, is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan, fund, other enterprise or nonprofit entity (an “
indemnitee
”), whether the basis of such Proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent, or in any other capacity while serving as a director, officer, employee or agent, against all liability and loss suffered and expenses (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) excise taxes and penalties and amounts paid in settlement) reasonably incurred by such indemnitee in connection with such Proceeding.

Article
X

Article X

Article X
by the stockholders of the Corporation or by changes in law, or the adoption of any other provision of this Certificate of Incorporation inconsistent with this
Article X
, shall, unless otherwise required by law, be prospective only (except to the extent such amendment or change in law permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights on a retroactive basis than
B-9

permitted prior thereto), and shall not in any way diminish or adversely affect any right or protection existing at the time of such repeal or amendment or adoption of such inconsistent provision in respect of any Proceeding (regardless of when such Proceeding is first threatened, commenced or completed) arising out of, or related to, any act or omission occurring prior to such repeal or amendment or adoption of such inconsistent provision.
Section
10.04

Article VIII
not less than 10 or more than 60 days before the date of the meeting to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting as of the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to notice of the meeting of stockholders. The notice shall specify the place, if any, date and time of the meeting, the means of remote communication, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting, and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called.

C-1

Table of Contents
that matter. Two or more classes or series of capital stock shall be considered a single class if the holders thereof are entitled to vote together as a single class at the meeting. A quorum, once established at a meeting, shall not be broken by the withdrawal of enough votes to leave less than a quorum. If, however, a quorum is not present or represented at any meeting of the stockholders, then either (i) the person presiding over the meeting or (ii) a majority in voting power of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, present in person or by remote communication, if applicable, or represented by proxy, shall have power to recess the meeting or adjourn the meeting from time to time in the manner provided in

When a meeting is adjourned or recessed to another time and/or place, if any, unless these bylaws otherwise require, notice need not be given of the adjourned or recessed meeting if the time, place, if any, thereof, and the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such adjourned or recessed meeting are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment or recess is taken. At any adjourned or recessed meeting, the Corporation may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment or recess is for more than 30 days, a notice of the adjourned or recessed meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting. If after the adjournment or recess a new record date for determination of stockholders entitled to vote is fixed for the adjourned or recessed meeting, the Board shall fix as the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of such adjourned or recessed meeting the same or an earlier date as that fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to vote at the adjourned meeting, and shall give notice of the adjourned or recessed meeting to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting as of the record date so fixed for notice of such adjourned meeting.
(b) In addition, subject to applicable law, any meeting of stockholders may be postponed by the Board at any time before such meeting has been convened. Notice of the postponed meeting of stockholders shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting.
2.7
Conduct of Business
. The Board may adopt by resolution such rules and regulations for the conduct of the meeting of stockholders as it shall deem appropriate. Except to the extent inconsistent with such rules and regulations as adopted by the Board, the person presiding over any meeting of stockholders shall have the right and authority to convene and (for any or no reason) to recess and/or adjourn the meeting, to prescribe such rules, regulations and procedures (which need not be in writing) and to do all such acts as, in the judgment of such presiding person, are appropriate for the proper conduct of the meeting. Such rules, regulations or procedures, whether adopted by the Board or prescribed by the person presiding over the meeting, may include, without limitation, the following: (i) the establishment of an agenda or order of business for the meeting; (ii) rules and procedures for maintaining order at the meeting and the safety of those present (including, without limitation, rules and procedures for removal of disruptive persons from the meeting); (iii) limitations on attendance at or participation in the meeting to stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, their duly authorized and constituted proxies or such other persons as the person presiding over the meeting shall determine; (iv) restrictions on entry to the meeting after the time fixed for the commencement thereof; and (v) limitations on the time allotted to questions or comments by participants. The presiding person at any meeting of stockholders, in addition to making any other determinations that may be appropriate to the conduct of the meeting (including, without limitation, determinations with respect to the administration and/or interpretation of any of the rules, regulations or procedures of the meeting, whether adopted by the Board or prescribed by the person presiding over the meeting), shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that a matter of business was not properly brought before the meeting and, if such presiding person should so determine, such presiding person shall so declare to the meeting and any such matter or business not properly brought before the meeting shall not
C-2

Table of Contents
be transacted or considered. Unless and to the extent determined by the Board or the person presiding over the meeting, meetings of stockholders shall not be required to be held in accordance with the rules of parliamentary procedure.
2.8
Voting
.
(a) Except as may be otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, these bylaws or the DGCL, each stockholder shall be entitled to one vote for each share of capital stock held by such stockholder. If the Certificate of Incorporation provides for more or less than one vote for any share on any matter, every reference in these bylaws to a majority or other proportion of capital stock shall refer to such majority or other proportion of the votes of such stock.
(b) Directors shall be elected by a majority of the votes cast by holders of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and, subject to the last sentence of this
Section
2.8(b)
, entitled to vote on the election of directors;
provided
that if, as of the 10th day preceding the date the Corporation first mails its notice of meeting for such meeting to the stockholders, the number of nominees exceeds the number of directors to be elected, the directors shall be elected by the vote of a plurality of the votes cast. In all other matters, unless a different or minimum vote is required by the Certificate of Incorporation, these bylaws, the rules or regulations of any stock exchange applicable to the Corporation or any law or regulation applicable to the Corporation or its capital stock, in which case such different or minimum vote shall be the applicable vote on the matter, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the subject matter shall be the act of the stockholders. Where a separate vote by class or classes is required, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares cast of such class or classes present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting shall be the act of such class or classes, except as otherwise provided by law or by the Certificate of Incorporation or these bylaws. For purposes of these bylaws, a majority of votes cast shall mean that the number of votes cast “for” a director’s election exceeds the number of votes cast “against” that director’s election (with “abstentions” and “broker
non-votes”
(or other shares of capital stock of the Corporation similarly not entitled to vote) not counted as a vote cast either “for” or “against” that director’s election).
2.9
Record Date for Stockholder Meetings and Other Purposes
.
(a) In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment, recess or postponement thereof, the Board may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board, and which record date shall, unless otherwise required by law, not be more than 60 days nor less than 10 days before the date of such meeting. If the Board so fixes a date, such date shall also be the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting unless the Board determines, at the time it fixes such record date, that a later date on or before the date of the meeting shall be the date for making such determination. If no record date is fixed by the Board, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be the close of business on the next day preceding the day on which notice is first given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held. A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment, recess or postponement of the meeting;
provided, however
, that the Board may fix a new record date for determination of stockholders entitled to vote at the adjourned, recessed or postponed meeting and in such case shall also fix as the record date for stockholders entitled to notice of such adjourned meeting the same or an earlier date as that fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to vote in accordance herewith at the adjourned, recessed or postponed meeting.
(b) In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment or any rights or the stockholders entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of capital stock, or for the purposes of any other lawful action, the
C-3

Table of Contents
Board may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted, and which record date shall be not more than 60 days prior to such action. If no record date is fixed, the record date for determining stockholders for any such purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board adopts the resolution relating thereto.
2.10
Proxies
. Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder by proxy authorized by an instrument in writing or by a transmission permitted by law filed in accordance with the procedure established for the meeting, but no such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. The revocability of a proxy that states on its face that it is irrevocable shall be governed by the provisions of Section 212 of the DGCL. A proxy may be in the form of an electronic transmission which sets forth or is submitted with information from which it can be determined that the transmission was authorized by the stockholder.
2.11
List of Stockholders Entitled to Vote
. The Corporation shall prepare, at least 10 days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting (
provided, however
, that if the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote is less than 10 days before the date of the meeting, the list shall reflect the stockholders entitled to vote as of the 10th day before the meeting date), arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. The Corporation shall not be required to include electronic mail addresses or other electronic contact information on such list. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting for a period of at least 10 days prior to the meeting: (i) on a reasonably accessible electronic network,
provided
that the information required to gain access to such list is provided with the notice of the meeting; or (ii) during ordinary business hours, at the Corporation’s principal executive office. In the event that the Corporation determines to make the list available on an electronic network, the Corporation may take reasonable steps to ensure that such information is available only to stockholders of the Corporation. If the meeting is to be held at a place, then the list shall be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present. If the meeting is to be held solely by means of remote communication, then the list shall also be open to the examination of any stockholder during the whole time of the meeting on a reasonably accessible electronic network, and the information required to access such list shall be provided with the notice of the meeting. Such list shall presumptively determine the identity of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting and the number of shares held by each of them. Except as otherwise provided by law, the stock ledger shall be the only evidence as to who are the stockholders entitled to examine the list of stockholders required by this
Section
2.11
or to vote in person or by proxy at any meeting of stockholders.
2.12
Inspectors of Election
.
(a) Before any meeting of stockholders, the Corporation shall appoint an inspector or inspectors of election to act at the meeting or its adjournment and make a written report thereof. The Corporation may designate one or more persons as alternate inspectors to replace any inspector who fails to act. If any person appointed as inspector or any alternate fails to appear or fails or refuses to act, then the person presiding over the meeting shall appoint a person to fill that vacancy. Such inspectors shall:
(i) determine the number of shares outstanding and the voting power of each, the number of shares represented at the meeting and the validity of any proxies and ballots;
(ii) count all votes or ballots;
(iii) count and tabulate all votes;
(iv) determine and retain for a reasonable period a record of the disposition of any challenges made to any determination by the inspector(s); and
C-4

Table of Contents
(v) certify its or their determination of the number of shares represented at the meeting and its or their count of all votes and ballots.
(b) Each inspector, before entering upon the discharge of the duties of inspector, shall take and sign an oath faithfully to execute the duties of inspection with strict impartiality and according to the best of such inspector’s ability. Any report or certificate made by the inspectors of election is
prima facie
evidence of the facts stated therein. The inspectors of election may appoint such persons to assist them in performing their duties as they determine. The date and time of the opening and closing of the polls for each matter upon which the stockholders will vote at a meeting shall be announced at the meeting. No ballot, proxy or vote, nor any revocation thereof or change thereto, shall be accepted by the inspectors after the closing of the polls.
2.13

(h) The obligation of a Proposing Stockholder to provide notice pursuant to
Section
2.13(f)

”);
provided
,
however
, that the Permitted Number shall be reduced by (A) the number of director candidates who will be included in the Corporation’s proxy materials with respect to the annual meeting as an unopposed (by the Corporation) nominee pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or other understanding with any stockholder or group of stockholders (other than any such agreement, arrangement or understanding entered into in connection with an acquisition of shares of capital stock of the Corporation, by such stockholder or group of stockholders, from the Corporation), (B) the number of directors in office as of the nomination deadline who were included in the Corporation’s proxy statement as a Stockholder Nominee for any of the two preceding annual meetings and whose reelection at the upcoming annual meeting is being recommended by the Board, (C) the number of Stockholder Nominees whom the Board itself decides to nominate for election at such annual meeting (each, a “

(e) If any Proposing Stockholder intends to nominate more than one Stockholder Nominee pursuant to this
Section

, such Proposing Stockholder shall rank such Stockholder Nominees based on the order in which such Proposing Stockholder desires such Stockholder Nominees to be selected for inclusion in the Corporation’s proxy materials in the event that the total number of Stockholder Nominees submitted by the Proposing Stockholders pursuant to this
Section
2.14

Section
2.14(f)
regarding continued ownership shall be considered satisfied only if each stockholder that is a member of such group of stockholders continues to own through the date of the annual meeting no less than the least number of shares owned by such stockholder at any time during the Holding Periods. Whenever a Proposing Stockholder consists of a group of stockholders and/or other persons, any and all requirements and obligations for a Proposing Stockholder set forth in this

Section
2.14

A person shall “own” shares held in the name of a nominee or other intermediary so long as the person retains the right to instruct how the shares are voted with respect to the election of directors and possesses the full economic interest in the shares.

3.2 Tax Withholding
Grantees will be solely responsible for any applicable taxes (including, without limitation, income and excise taxes) and penalties, and any interest that accrues thereon, that they incur in connection with the receipt, vesting or exercise of any Award.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Award provides for the deferral of compensation within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, the Committee will have no right to offset against its obligation to deliver Shares (or other property or cash) under the Plan or any Award Agreement if such offset could subject the Grantee to the additional tax imposed under Section 409A of the Code in respect of an outstanding Award.
3.4 Nonassignability; No Hedging
Unless otherwise provided in an Award Agreement, no Award (or any rights and obligations thereunder) granted to any person under the Plan may be sold, exchanged, transferred, assigned, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of or hedged, in any manner (including through the use of any cash-settled instrument), whether voluntarily or involuntarily and whether by operation of law or otherwise, other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and all such Awards (and any rights thereunder) will be exercisable during the life of the Grantee only by the Grantee or the Grantee’s legal representative. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may permit, under such terms and conditions that it deems appropriate in its sole discretion, a Grantee to transfer any Award to any person or entity that the Committee so determines. Any sale, exchange, transfer, assignment, pledge, hypothecation or other disposition in violation of the provisions of this
Section
3.4
will be null and void and any Award which is hedged in any manner will immediately be forfeited. All of the terms and conditions of the Plan and the Award Agreements will be binding upon any permitted successors and assigns.
3.5 Change of Control
3.5.1 Unless the Committee determines otherwise or as otherwise provided in the applicable Award Agreement, if a Grantee’s Employment is terminated by the Company or any successor entity thereto without Cause, or the Grantee resigns his or her Employment for Good Reason, in either case, on or within one year after a Change of Control, (i) each Award granted to such Grantee prior to such Change of Control will become fully vested (including the lapsing of all restrictions and conditions) and, as applicable, exercisable, and (ii) any Shares deliverable pursuant to restricted stock units will be delivered promptly (but no later than 15 days) following such Grantee’s termination of Employment. As of the Change of Control date, any outstanding performance-based awards shall be deemed earned at the greater of the target level and the actual performance level at the date of the Change of Control with respect to all open performance periods and will cease to be subject to any further performance conditions but will continue to be subject to time-based vesting following the Change of Control in accordance with the original performance period.
3.5.2 Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a Change of Control, a Grantee’s Award will be treated, to the extent determined by the Committee to be permitted under Section 409A, in accordance with one or more of the following methods as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion: (i) settle such Awards for an amount of cash or securities equal to their value, where in the case of stock options and stock appreciation rights, the value of such awards, if any, will be equal to their
in-the-money
spread value (if any), as determined in the sole discretion of the Committee; (ii) provide for the assumption of or the issuance of substitute awards that will substantially preserve the otherwise applicable terms of any affected Awards previously granted under the Plan, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion; (iii) modify the terms of such awards to add events, conditions or circumstances (including termination of Employment within a specified period after a Change of

Control) upon which the vesting of such Awards or lapse of restrictions thereon will accelerate; (iv) deem any performance conditions satisfied at target, maximum or actual performance through closing or provide for the performance conditions to continue (as is or as adjusted by the Committee) after closing; or (v) provide that for a period of at least 20 days prior to the Change of Control, any stock options or stock appreciation rights that would not otherwise become exercisable prior to the Change of Control will be exercisable as to all Shares subject thereto (but any such exercise will be contingent upon and subject to the occurrence of the Change of Control and if the Change of Control does not take place within a specified period after giving such notice for any reason whatsoever, the exercise will be null and void) and that any stock options or stock appreciation rights not exercised prior to the consummation of the Change of Control will terminate and be of no further force and effect as of the consummation of the Change of Control. In the event that the consideration paid in the Change of Control includes contingent value rights, earnout or indemnity payments or similar payments, then the Committee will determine if Awards settled under clause (i) above are (a) valued at closing taking into account such contingent consideration (with the value determined by the Committee in its sole discretion) or (b) entitled to a share of such contingent consideration. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event of a Change of Control where all stock options and stock appreciation rights are settled for an amount (as determined in the sole discretion of the Committee) of cash or securities, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, terminate any stock option or stock appreciation right for which the exercise price is equal to or exceeds the per share value of the consideration to be paid in the Change of Control transaction without payment of consideration therefor. Similar actions to those specified in this
Section
3.5.2
may be taken in the event of a merger or other corporate reorganization that does not constitute a Change of Control.
3.6 No Continued Employment or Engagement; Right of Discharge Reserved
Neither the adoption of the Plan nor the grant of any Award (or any provision in the Plan or Award Agreement) will confer upon any Grantee any right to continued Employment, or other engagement, with the Company, nor will it interfere in any way with the right of the Company to terminate, or alter the terms and conditions of, such Employment or other engagement at any time.
3.7 Nature of Payments
3.7.1 Any and all grants of Awards and deliveries of Common Stock, cash, securities or other property under the Plan will be in consideration of services performed or to be performed for the Company by the Grantee. Awards under the Plan may, in the discretion of the Committee, be made in substitution in whole or in part for cash or other compensation otherwise payable to a Grantee. Only whole Shares will be delivered under the Plan. Awards will, to the extent reasonably practicable, be aggregated in order to eliminate any fractional shares. Fractional shares may, in the discretion of the Committee, be forfeited or be settled in cash or otherwise as the Committee may determine.
3.7.2 All such grants and deliveries of Shares, cash, securities or other property under the Plan will constitute a special discretionary incentive payment to the Grantee, will not entitle the Grantee to the grant of any future Awards and will not be required to be taken into account in computing the amount of salary or compensation of the Grantee for the purpose of determining any contributions to or any benefits under any pension, retirement, profit-sharing, bonus, life insurance, severance or other benefit plan of the Company or under any agreement with the Grantee, unless the Company specifically provides otherwise.

The Board and the Committee will have full authority to give effect to the intent of the foregoing sentence. To the extent necessary to give effect to this intent, in the case of any conflict or potential inconsistency between the Plan and a provision of any Award or Award Agreement with respect to an Award, the Plan will govern.

(b) any payment due upon a Change of Control of the Company will be paid only if such Change of Control constitutes a “change in ownership” or “change in effective control” within the meaning of Section 409A, and in the event that such Change of Control does not constitute a “change in the ownership” or “change in the effective control” within the meaning of Section 409A, such Award will vest upon the Change of Control and any payment will be delayed until the first compliant date under Section 409A;

(d) if the Award includes a “series of installment payments” (within the meaning of
Section 1.409A-2(b)(2)(iii)
of the Treasury Regulations), the Grantee’s right to the series of installment payments will be treated as a right to a series of separate payments and not as a right to a single payment;
(e) if the Award includes “dividend equivalents” (within the meaning of
Section 1.409A-3(e)
of the Treasury Regulations), the Grantee’s right to the dividend equivalents will be treated separately from the right to other amounts under the Award; and
(f) for purposes of determining whether the Grantee has experienced a separation from service from the Company within the meaning of Section 409A, “subsidiary” will mean a corporation or other entity in a chain of corporations or other entities in which each corporation or other entity, starting with Symbotic, has a controlling interest in another corporation or other entity in the chain, ending with such corporation or other entity. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the term “controlling interest” has the same meaning as provided in

Shares

The Committee shall have the authority to interpret the Plan, to establish, amend, and rescind any rules and regulations relating to the Plan, to determine the terms and provisions of any agreements entered into hereunder, and to make all other determinations necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan, based on, among other things, information made available to the Committee by the management of the Company.

Table of Contents
For purposes of this Plan, “
Excluded Employee
” shall mean those employees or individuals which are temporary or leased employees, interns and such other individuals who shall, from time to time, be deemed ineligible to participate in the Plan, as determined by the Company in its discretion. For the avoidance of doubt,
non-employee
directors and independent contractors shall not be eligible to participate in the Plan.
An employee of the Company or a Designated Subsidiary who meets the requirements set forth above is eligible to participate in any offerings of Options that commence after the month in which the employee commences employment with the Company or a Designated Subsidiary. No employee may be granted an Option hereunder if such employee, immediately after the Option is granted, would own 5% or more of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of shares of the Company or any subsidiary.
5.
Offerings
.
The Committee may from time to time make one or more offerings (“
Offerings
”) to eligible employees to purchase Shares under this Plan beginning on the date or dates selected by the Committee (the “
Offering Commencement Dates
”). The provisions of separate Offerings need not be identical, but the period during which any Offering will be effective (each, an “
Offering Period
”) may not exceed 27 months, beginning with the Offering Commencement Date. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, each Offering Period shall be six months. The first Offering Period shall commence on a date to be determined by the Committee.
6.
Participation
.
An employee eligible to participate in the Plan on the Offering Commencement Date of any Offering may participate in such Offering by completing and forwarding either a written or electronic payroll deduction authorization form to the employee’s appropriate payroll office prior to the applicable Offering Commencement Date. The form will authorize a regular payroll deduction from the Compensation (as defined below) received by the employee during the Offering Period in accordance with Section 7. Unless an employee files a new form or withdraws from the Plan in accordance with Section 8, the employee’s deductions and purchases will continue at the same rate for future Offerings under the Plan as long as the Plan remains in effect. The term “
Compensation
” means the employee’s base salary or wages that are actually paid to the employee and that are subject to withholding for Federal income tax purposes, and does not include overtime pay, shift differentials, premium pay, bonuses, commissions, equity awards, profit-sharing awards, other incentive pay or awards, fringe benefits, credits received under plans pursuant to Section 125 of the Code or similar items.
7.
Deductions
.
The Company will maintain payroll deduction accounts for all participating employees. With respect to any Offering made under this Plan, an employee may authorize a payroll deduction from 1% to up to a maximum of 15% of the Compensation the employee receives during the Offering Period (such deductions to be in whole percentages),
provided
that, in any calendar year, such deductions shall not exceed $25,000 in the aggregate. The Committee may, at its discretion, designate a lower maximum contribution rate for any Offering.
8.
Deduction Changes
.
An employee may decrease such employee’s payroll deduction once during any Offering Period by filing either a written or electronic new payroll deduction authorization form. Any employee may discontinue his payroll deductions at any time by filing either a written or electronic new payroll deduction authorization form. If an employee elects to discontinue his payroll deductions during an Offering Period, but does not elect to withdraw such employee’s funds pursuant to Section 10 hereof, funds deducted prior to such employee’s election to discontinue will be applied to the purchase of Shares on the Exercise Date (as defined below).

Interest
.
Interest will not be paid on any employee accounts, except to the extent that the Committee, in its sole discretion, elects to credit employee accounts with interest at such rate as it may from time to time determine.
10.
Withdrawal of Funds
.
An employee may, at any time at least 15 business days (or such other number of days as is determined by the Company) prior to the close of business on the last business day in an Offering Period, and for any reason, permanently draw out the balance accumulated in the employee’s account and thereby withdraw from participation in an Offering. Partial withdrawals are not permitted. The employee may not begin participation again during the remainder of the Offering Period during which the employee withdrew the employee’s balance. The employee may participate in any subsequent Offering in accordance with terms and conditions established by the Committee.
11.
Purchase of Shares
.
(a)
Number of Shares
. On the Offering Commencement Date of each Offering Period, the Company will grant to each eligible employee who is then a participant in the Plan an option (an “
Option
”) to purchase on the last business day of such Offering Period (the “
Exercise
Date
”) at the applicable purchase price (the “
Option Price
”) up to a maximum number of Shares to the extent determined by the Committee;
provided
,
however
, that no employee may be granted an Option which permits such employee’s rights to purchase Common Stock under this Plan, or any other employee stock purchase plan (as defined in Section 423(b) of the Code) of the Company and its subsidiaries, to accrue at a rate which exceeds $25,000 of the fair market value of such Common Stock (determined at the date such Option is granted) for each calendar year in which the Option is outstanding at any time;
provided
,
further
,
however
, that the Committee may, in its discretion, set a fixed maximum number of shares of Common Stock that each eligible employee may purchase per Offering Period, which number shall be subject to the first proviso clause of this Section 11(a).
(b)
Option Price
. The Committee shall determine the Option Price for each Offering Period, including whether such Option Price shall be determined based on the lesser of the closing price of the Shares on (i) the first business day of the Offering Period or (ii) the Exercise Date, or shall be based solely on the closing price of the Shares on the Exercise Date;
provided
,
however
, that such Option Price shall be at least 85% of the applicable closing price. In the absence of a determination by the Committee, the Option Price will be 85% of the lesser of the closing price of the Shares on (i) the first business day of the Offering Period or (ii) the Exercise Date. The closing price shall be (a) the closing price (for the primary trading session) on any national securities exchange on which the Shares are listed or (b) the average of the closing bid and asked prices in the
over-the-counter
market, whichever is applicable, as published in
The Wall Street Journal
or another source selected by the Committee. If no sales of Shares were made on such a day, the price of the Shares shall be the reported price for the next preceding day on which sales were made.
(c)
Exercise of Option
. Each employee who continues to be a participant in the Plan on the Exercise Date shall be deemed to have exercised his Option at the Option Price on such date and shall be deemed to have purchased from the Company the number of whole Shares reserved for the purpose of the Plan that his accumulated payroll deductions on such date will pay for, but not in excess of the maximum numbers determined in the manner set forth above.
(d)
Return of Unused Payroll Deductions
. Any balance remaining in an employee’s payroll deduction account at the end of an Offering Period will be automatically refunded to the employee, except that any balance that is less than the purchase price of one Share will be carried forward into the employee’s payroll deduction account for the following Offering, unless the employee elects not to participate in the following Offering under the Plan, in which case the balance in the employee’s account shall be refunded.

Certificates representing Shares purchased under the Plan may be issued only in the name of the employee, in the name of the employee and another person of legal age as joint tenants with rights of survivorship, or (in the Company’s sole discretion) in the name of a brokerage firm, bank, or other nominee holder designated by the employee. The Company may, in its sole discretion and in compliance with applicable laws, authorize the use of book entry registration of Shares in lieu of issuing stock certificates.
13.
Rights on Retirement, Death or Termination of Employment
.
If a participating employee’s employment ends before the last business day of an Offering Period, no payroll deduction shall be taken from any pay then due and owing to the employee, and the balance in the employee’s account shall be paid to the employee. In the event of the employee’s death before the last business day of an Offering Period, the Company shall, upon notification of such death, pay the balance of the employee’s account (a) to the executor or administrator of the employee’s estate or (b) if no such executor or administrator has been appointed to the knowledge of the Company, to such other person(s) as the Company may, in its discretion, designate. If, before the last business day of the Offering Period, the Designated Subsidiary by which an employee is employed ceases to be a subsidiary of the Company, or if the employee is transferred to a subsidiary of the Company that is not a Designated Subsidiary, the employee’s employment shall be deemed to have been terminated for the purposes of this Plan. A participating employee’s employment shall have ended or ceased hereunder on the date that the employee ceases performing services for the Company or a Designated Subsidiary on a permanent basis, whether such termination is lawful or otherwise, and without regard to any pay in lieu of notice (whether paid by way of lump sum or salary continuance), benefits continuance, or other termination-related payments or benefits, whether pursuant to the common law or otherwise, to which the employee may then be entitled (and without regard to any claim for damages in respect thereof), except as expressly required by any applicable employment or labor standards legislation.
14.
Optionees Not Stockholders
.
Neither the granting of an Option to an employee nor the deductions from the employee’s pay shall make such employee a stockholder of the Shares covered by an Option under this Plan until the employee has purchased and been issued such Shares.
15.
Options Not Transferable; Holding Period; Notification of Sale of Shares
.
Options under this Plan are not transferable by a participating employee other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and are exercisable during the employee’s lifetime only by the employee. Each employee agrees, by participating in the Plan, that Shares purchased under the Plan must be held for at least six months from the applicable Exercise Date. Each employee agrees, by participating in the Plan, to promptly give the Company notice of any disposition of Shares purchased under the Plan where such disposition occurs within two years after the date of grant of the Option pursuant to which such Shares were purchased. For the avoidance of doubt, Shares purchased under the Plan by any employee shall be subject to all policies of the Company or any of its subsidiaries applicable to such employee as in effect from time to time, including any insider trading policy.

Acquisition Price
”), change the last day of the Offering Period to be the date of the consummation of the Reorganization Event and make or provide for a cash payment to each employee equal to (A) (i) the Acquisition Price times (ii) the number of Shares that the employee’s accumulated payroll deductions as of immediately prior to the Reorganization Event could purchase at the Option Price, where the Acquisition Price is treated as the fair market value of the Shares on the last business day of the applicable Offering Period for purposes of determining the Option Price under Section 11(b) hereof, and where the number of Shares that could be purchased is subject to the limitations set forth in Section 11(a),
minus
(B) the result of multiplying such number of Shares by such Option Price, (v) provide that, in connection with a liquidation or dissolution of the Company, Options shall convert into the right to receive liquidation proceeds (net of the Option Price thereof) or (vi) any combination of the foregoing.
(3) For purposes of clause (i) above, an Option shall be considered assumed if, following consummation of the Reorganization Event, the Option confers the right to purchase, for each Share subject to the Option immediately prior to the consummation of the Reorganization Event, the consideration (whether cash, securities or other property) received as a result of the Reorganization Event by holders of Shares for each Share held immediately prior to the consummation of the Reorganization Event (and if holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares);
provided
,
however
, that if the consideration received as a result of the Reorganization Event is not solely shares of the acquiring or succeeding corporation (or an affiliate thereof), the Company may, with the consent of the acquiring or succeeding corporation, provide for the consideration to be received upon the exercise of Options to consist solely of such number of shares of the acquiring or succeeding corporation (or an affiliate thereof) that the Committee determines to be equivalent in value (as of the date of such determination or another date specified by the Committee) to the per share consideration received by holders of outstanding Shares as a result of the Reorganization Event.

| Series and sub-series shall be authorised, established and designated (or re-designated as the case may be) and the variations in the relative rights (including, without limitation, voting, dividend and redemption rights), restrictions, preferences, privileges and payment obligations as between the different Classes and Series (if any) may be fixed and determined by the Directors or the Shareholders by Ordinary Resolution.

14. | On the first business day following the consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination, or at any earlier date at the option of the holders of the Class B Shares, the issued and outstanding Class B Shares shall automatically be converted into such number of Class A Shares as is equal to 20% of the sum of:

| (a) | the total number of Class A Shares issued in the IPO (including pursuant to any Over-Allotment Option) plus the total number of Class B Shares issued, plus

| (b) | the total number of Class A Shares issued or deemed issued, or issuable upon the conversion or exercise of any equity-linked securities issued or deemed issued, by the Company in connection with or in relation to the consummation of the initial Business Combination, excluding (i) any Class A Shares or equity-linked securities exercisable for or convertible into Class A Shares issued, or to be issued, to any seller in the initial Business Combination; (ii) any private placement warrants issued to the Sponsor, the Investor Group or any members of the Company’s management team upon conversion of working capital loans; (iii) any Class A Shares issued, or to be issued, under any forward purchase agreements between the Sponsor and the Company; and (iv) any Class A Shares issued, or to be issued, to any investor pursuant to a private investment in public equity transaction in relation to the consummation of the initial Business Combination.

16. | References in Articles 14 to Article 18 to “ converted ”, “ conversion ” or “ exchange ” shall mean the compulsory redemption without notice of Class B Shares of any Member and, on behalf of such Members, automatic application of such redemption proceeds in paying for such new Class A Shares into which the Class B Shares have been converted or exchanged at a price per Class B Share necessary to give effect to a conversion or exchange calculated on the basis that the Class A Shares to be issued as part of the conversion or exchange will be issued at par. The Class A Shares to be issued on an exchange or conversion shall be registered in the name of such Member or in such name as the Member may direct.

17. | Each Class B Share shall convert into its pro rata number of Class A Shares as set forth in this Article 17. The pro rata share for each holder of Class B Shares will be determined as follows: each Class B Share shall convert into such number of Class A Shares as is equal to the product of 1 multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the total number of Class A Shares into which all of the issued and outstanding Class B Shares shall be converted pursuant to Article 14 and the denominator of which shall be the total number of issued and outstanding Class B Shares at the time of conversion.

18. | The Directors may effect such conversion in any manner available under applicable law, including redeeming or repurchasing the relevant Class B Shares and applying the proceeds thereof towards payment for the new Class A Shares. For purposes of the repurchase or redemption, the Directors may, subject to the Company being able to pay its debts in the ordinary course of business, make payments out of amounts standing to the credit of the Company’s share premium account or out of its capital.

MODIFICATION OF RIGHTS

19. | Whenever the capital of the Company is divided into different Classes (and as otherwise determined by the Directors) the rights attached to any such Class may, subject to any rights or restrictions for the time being attached to any Class only be materially adversely varied or abrogated with the consent in writing of the holders of not less than two-thirds of the issued Shares of the relevant Class, or with the sanction of a resolution passed at a separate meeting of the holders of the Shares of such Class by a majority of two-thirds of the votes cast at such a meeting. To every such separate meeting all the provisions of these Articles relating to general meetings of the Company or to the proceedings thereat shall, mutatis mutandis, apply, except that the necessary quorum shall be one or more Persons at least holding or representing by proxy one-third in nominal or par value amount of the issued Shares of the relevant Class (but so that if at any adjourned meeting of such holders a quorum as above defined is not present, those Shareholders who are present shall form a quorum) and that, subject to any rights or restrictions for the time being attached to the Shares of that Class, every Shareholder of the Class shall on a poll have one vote for each Share of the Class held by him. For the purposes of this Article the Directors may treat all the Classes or any two or more Classes as forming one Class if they consider that all such Classes would be affected in the same way by the proposals under consideration, but in any other case shall treat them as separate Classes. The Directors may vary the rights attaching to any Class without the consent or approval of Shareholders provided that the rights will not, in the determination of the Directors, be materially adversely varied or abrogated by such action.

20. | The rights conferred upon the holders of the Shares of any Class issued with preferred or other rights shall not, subject to any rights or restrictions for the time being attached to the Shares of that Class, be deemed to be materially adversely varied or abrogated by, inter alia, the creation, allotment or issue of further Shares,

CERTIFICATES

21. | If so determined by the Directors, any Person whose name is entered as a member in the Register may receive a certificate in the form determined by the Directors. All certificates shall specify the Share or Shares held by that person and the amount paid up thereon, provided that in respect of a Share or Shares held jointly by several persons the Company shall not be bound to issue more than one certificate, and delivery of a certificate for a Share to one of several joint holders shall be sufficient delivery to all. All certificates for Shares shall be delivered personally or sent through the post addressed to the member entitled thereto at the Member’s registered address as appearing in the Register.

22. | Every share certificate of the Company shall bear legends required under the applicable laws, including the Exchange Act.

24. | If a share certificate shall be damaged or defaced or alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed, a new certificate representing the same Shares may be issued to the relevant Member upon request subject to delivery up of the old certificate or (if alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed) compliance with such conditions as to evidence and indemnity and the payment of out-of-pocket expenses of the Company in connection with the request as the Directors may think fit.

25. | In the event that Shares are held jointly by several persons, any request may be made by any one of the joint holders and if so made shall be binding on all of the joint holders.

FRACTIONAL SHARES

26. | The Directors may issue fractions of a Share and, if so issued, a fraction of a Share shall be subject to and carry the corresponding fraction of liabilities (whether with respect to nominal or par value, premium, contributions, calls or otherwise), limitations, preferences, privileges, qualifications, restrictions, rights (including, without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, voting and participation rights) and other attributes of a whole Share. If more than one fraction of a Share of the same Class is issued to or acquired by the same Shareholder such fractions shall be accumulated.

27. | The Company has a first and paramount lien on every Share (whether or not fully paid) for all amounts (whether presently payable or not) payable at a fixed time or called in respect of that Share.

| Person indebted or under liability to the Company (whether he is the sole registered holder of a Share or one of two or more joint holders) for all amounts owing by him or his estate to the Company (whether or not presently payable).

28. | The Company may sell, in such manner as the Directors may determine, any Share on which the Company has a lien, but no sale shall be made unless an amount in respect of which the lien exists is presently payable nor until the expiration of fourteen days after a notice in writing, demanding payment of such part of the amount in respect of which the lien exists as is presently payable, has been given to the registered holder for the time being of the Share, or the Persons entitled thereto by reason of his death or bankruptcy.

29. | For giving effect to any such sale the Directors may authorise some Person to transfer the Shares sold to the purchaser thereof. The purchaser shall be registered as the holder of the Shares comprised in any such transfer and he shall not be bound to see to the application of the purchase money, nor shall his title to the Shares be affected by any irregularity or invalidity in the proceedings in reference to the sale.

30. | The proceeds of the sale after deduction of expenses, fees and commission incurred by the Company shall be received by the Company and applied in payment of such part of the amount in respect of which the lien exists as is presently payable, and the residue shall (subject to a like lien for sums not presently payable as existed upon the Shares prior to the sale) be paid to the Person entitled to the Shares immediately prior to the sale.

CALLS ON SHARES

31. | The Directors may from time to time make calls upon the Shareholders in respect of any moneys unpaid on their Shares, and each Shareholder shall (subject to receiving at least fourteen days’ notice specifying the time or times of payment) pay to the Company at the time or times so specified the amount called on such Shares.

32. | The joint holders of a Share shall be jointly and severally liable to pay calls in respect thereof.

33. | If a sum called in respect of a Share is not paid before or on the day appointed for payment thereof, the Person from whom the sum is due shall pay interest upon the sum at the rate of eight percent per annum from the day appointed for the payment thereof to the time of the actual payment, but the Directors shall be at liberty to waive payment of that interest wholly or in part.

34. | The provisions of these Articles as to the liability of joint holders and as to payment of interest shall apply in the case of non-payment of any sum which, by the terms of issue of a Share, becomes payable at a fixed time, whether on account of the amount of the Share, or by way of premium, as if the same had become payable by virtue of a call duly made and notified.

35. | The Directors may make arrangements on the issue of partly paid Shares for a difference between the Shareholders, or the particular Shares, in the amount of calls to be paid and in the times of payment.

36. | The Directors may, if they think fit, receive from any Shareholder willing to advance the same all or any part of the moneys uncalled and unpaid upon any partly paid Shares held by him, and upon all or any of the moneys so advanced may (until the same would, but for such advance, become presently payable) pay interest at such rate (not exceeding without the sanction of an Ordinary Resolution, eight percent per annum) as may be agreed upon between the Shareholder paying the sum in advance and the Directors.

FORFEITURE OF SHARES

37. | If a Shareholder fails to pay any call or instalment of a call in respect of any Shares on the day appointed for payment, the Directors may, at any time thereafter during such time as any part of such call or instalment remains unpaid, serve a notice on him requiring payment of so much of the call or instalment as is unpaid, together with any interest which may have accrued.

38. | The notice shall name a further day (not earlier than the expiration of fourteen days from the date of the notice) on or before which the payment required by the notice is to be made, and shall state that in the event of non-payment at or before the time appointed the Shares in respect of which the call was made will be liable to be forfeited.

44. | The provisions of these Articles as to forfeiture shall apply in the case of non-payment of any sum which by the terms of issue of a Share becomes due and payable, whether on account of the amount of the Share, or by way of premium, as if the same had been payable by virtue of a call duly made and notified.

A Director, notwithstanding his interest, may be counted in the quorum present at any meeting of the Directors whereat he or any other Director is appointed to hold any such office or place of profit under the Company or whereat the terms of any such appointment are arranged and he may vote on any such appointment or arrangement.

123. | Any Director may act by himself or his firm in a professional capacity for the Company, and he or his firm shall be entitled to remuneration for professional services as if he were not a Director; provided that nothing herein contained shall authorise a Director or his firm to act as auditor to the Company.

If so demanded, the Company shall pay any such redeeming Member, regardless of whether he is voting for or against such proposed Business Combination, a per-Share redemption price payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Fund calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of a Business Combination, including interest earned on the Trust Fund and not previously released to the Company to fund Regulatory Withdrawals, subject to an annual limit of $250,000, for a maximum of 24 months and/or to pay income taxes, if any, (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of Public Shares then in issue (such redemption price being referred to herein as the “ Redemption Price”) .

If the proposed Business Combination is not approved or completed for any reason then such redemptions shall be cancelled and share certificates (if any) returned to the relevant Members as appropriate.

170. | (a) In the event that either the Company does not consummate a Business Combination by twenty-four months after the closing of the IPO, or such later time as the Members of the Company may approve in accordance with the Articles or a resolution of the Company’s Members is passed pursuant to the Companies Act to commence the voluntary liquidation of the Company prior to the consummation of a Business Combination for any reason, the Company shall: (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 Fund, including interest earned on the Trust Fund and not previously released to the Company to fund Regulatory Withdrawals, subject to an annual limit of $250,000, for a maximum of 24 months and/or to pay income taxes, if any, (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of Public Shares then in issue, which redemption will completely extinguish public Members’ rights as Members (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any); and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining Members and the Directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in the case of sub-articles (ii) and (iii), to its obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and in all cases subject to the other requirements of applicable law.

per-Share
price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Fund, including interest earned on the Trust Fund and not previously released to the Company to fund Regulatory Withdrawals, subject to an annual limit of $250,000, for a maximum of 24 months and/or to pay our income taxes, if any, (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of Public Shares then in issue.

171. | Except for the withdrawal of interest to pay income taxes and for Regulatory Withdrawals, if any, none of the funds held in the Trust Fund shall be released from the Trust Fund until the earlier of an IPO Redemption pursuant to Article 168, a repurchase of Shares by means of a tender offer pursuant to Article 164(b), a distribution of the Trust Fund pursuant to Article 170(a) or an amendment under Article 170(b). In no other circumstance shall a holder of Public Shares have any right or interest of any kind in the Trust Fund.

172. | After the issue of Public Shares, and prior to the consummation of a Business Combination, the Directors shall not issue additional Shares or any other securities that would entitle the holders thereof to: (a) receive funds from the Trust Fund; or (b) vote on any Business Combination or any other proposal presented to the Shareholders prior to or in connection with the completion of a Business Combination.

Re: | Equityholders Support Agreement

Ladies and Gentlemen:
This letter (this “
Equityholders Support Agreement
”) is being delivered to you in accordance with that Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of the date hereof (the “
Merger Agreement

“Business Combination”
), from the undersigned individuals (each, an “
Insider
” and collectively, the “
Insiders
”). Certain capitalized terms used herein are defined in paragraph 4 hereof. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to such terms in the Merger Agreement.
The Insiders are currently, and as of the Closing will be, the record owners of outstanding Company Common Units, with the Insiders’ ownership as of the date hereof detailed on
Schedule A
hereto.
In order to induce the Acquiror to enter into the Merger Agreement and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, each Insider hereby agrees, at all times prior to any valid termination of the Merger Agreement pursuant to its terms, with the Acquiror as follows:

1) | Each Insider irrevocably agrees that it, he or she or they shall:

| a) | as promptly as reasonably practicable (and in any event, within 48 hours) after the Registration Statement becomes effective under the Securities Act, validly execute and deliver to the Company in respect of all Company Common Units owned by it, him or her or them (collectively, all such shares, the “ Covered Shares ”), the Company Written Consent pursuant to Sections 304-C:60 and 304-C:156 of the NHLLCA, adopting and approving the Company Merger Agreement, the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Company Reorganization and the Business Combination;

| b) | if a meeting of the Company’s unitholders is held with respect to the Business Combination (a “ Unitholders Meeting ”), appear at such meeting or otherwise cause the Covered Shares to be counted as present thereat for the purpose of establishing a quorum;

| c) | vote (or execute and return an action by written consent), or cause to be voted at any Unitholders Meeting, or validly execute and return and cause such consent to be granted with respect to, all of such Covered Shares against any offer, inquiry, proposal or indication of interest, written or oral relating to any business combination or merger, other than with Acquiror, its shareholders and/or their respective Affiliates and Representatives, and any other action that would reasonably be expected to materially impede, interfere with, delay, postpone or adversely affect the Business Combination or result in a breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or other obligation or agreement of the Company or Symbotic, as applicable, contained in the Merger Agreement or this Equityholders Support Agreement or result in any of the conditions set forth in Article VIII of the Merger Agreement not being fulfilled; and

| d) | each Insider agrees not to, directly or indirectly, Transfer any of such Insider’s Covered Shares, or enter into any contract, option or other arrangement or understanding (including any profit sharing arrangement) with respect to the Transfer of any of such Insider’s Covered Shares, provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any Insider may Transfer such Insider’s Covered Shares (i) in the case of an individual, by gift to a member of the individual’s immediate family or to a trust, the beneficiary of which is a member of the individual’s immediate family, an Affiliate of such person or to a charitable organization, or by virtue of laws of descent and distribution upon death of the individual, or pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order and (ii) in the case of an entity, to an Affiliate thereof (each of clause (i) or (ii), a “ Permitted Transferee ”), in each case, so long as such Permitted Transferee agrees in writing, at or prior to the time of such Transfer, to be bound by this Equityholders Support Agreement. Until the valid termination of this Equityholders Support Agreement in accordance with paragraph 13, each Insider shall not enter into any voting agreement, voting trust or similar arrangement or understanding with respect to any of such Insider’s Covered Shares, grant any proxy, consent or power of attorney with respect to any of such Insider’s Covered Shares or take any action that would make the representations and warranties of such Insider contained in this Equityholders Support Agreement untrue or incorrect, violate or conflict with such Insider’s covenants and obligations under this Equityholders Support Agreement or otherwise have the effect of restricting, preventing or disabling such Insider from performing any of its obligations under this Agreement.

Prior to the valid termination of the Merger Agreement pursuant to its terms, each Insider shall take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things reasonably necessary under applicable Laws and advisable to consummate the Business Combination on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement.

Table of Contents
Delaware, in any Proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, agrees that all claims in respect of the Proceeding shall be heard and determined in any such court and agrees not to bring any Proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any other courts. Nothing in this
Section

5.7
Trust Account Waiver
. Each Seller acknowledges that SVF has established the SVF Trust Account for the benefit of its public stockholders, which holds proceeds of its initial public offering. For and in consideration of SVF entering into this Agreement and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, each Seller, for itself and the Affiliates it has the authority to bind, hereby irrevocably waives any past, present or future claim of any kind against, and any right to access, the SVF Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom), any trustee of the SVF Trust Account or SVF to collect from the SVF Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) any monies that may be owed to them by SVF or any of its Affiliates for any reason whatsoever, and will not seek recourse against the SVF Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) at any time for any reason whatsoever. Each Seller agrees and acknowledges that such irrevocable waiver is material to this Agreement and specifically relied upon by SVF and its Affiliates to induce SVF to enter in this Agreement, and each Seller further intends and understands such waiver to be valid, binding and enforceable against such Seller and each of its Affiliates under applicable Law. To the extent any Seller or any of its Affiliates commences any action or proceeding based upon, in connection with, relating to or arising out of any matter relating to SVF or its Representatives, which proceeding seeks, in whole or in part, monetary relief against SVF or its Representatives, each Seller hereby acknowledges and agrees that such Seller and its Affiliates’ sole remedy shall be against funds held outside of the SVF Trust Account and that such claim shall not permit such Seller or its Affiliates (or any person claiming on any of their behalves or in lieu of any of them) to have any claim against the SVF Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) or any amounts contained therein. In the event any Seller or any of its Affiliates commences any action or proceeding based upon, in connection with, relating to or arising out of any matter relating to SVF or its Representatives, which proceeding seeks, in whole or in part, relief against the SVF Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) or the public stockholders of SVF, whether in the form of money damages or injunctive relief, SVF and its Representatives, as applicable, shall be entitled to recover from such Seller or its Affiliates the associated legal fees and costs in connection with such action or proceeding, in the event SVF or its Representatives, as applicable, prevails in such action or proceeding. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any Transaction Document, this
Section
5.7
shall survive indefinitely, including following the termination of this Agreement for any reason
5.8
Fees and Expenses
. Each of the Parties shall be responsible for all fees and expenses incurred by such Party in connection with this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, whether or not the Closing is consummated.
5.9
Amendment and Waiver
. No amendment of any provision of this Agreement shall be valid unless the same shall be in writing, signed by SVF and Sellers. No waiver of any provision or condition of this Agreement shall be valid unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Party against which such waiver is to be enforced. No waiver by any Party of any default, breach of representation or warranty or breach of covenant hereunder, whether intentional or not, shall be deemed to extend to any other prior or subsequent default or breach or affect in any way any rights arising by virtue of any other prior or subsequent such occurrence.
5.10
Specific Performance
. Each Party acknowledges that the rights of each Party to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are unique and recognize and affirm that in the event any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific terms or otherwise are breached, money damages would be inadequate (and therefore the
non-breaching
Party would have no adequate remedy at Law) and the
non-breaching
Party would be irreparably damaged. Accordingly, unless this Agreement has been terminated, each Party agrees that each other Party shall be entitled to seek specific performance, an injunction or other equitable relief (without posting of bond or other security or needing to prove irreparable
J-7

Table of Contents
harm) to prevent breaches of the provisions of this Agreement and to seek specific enforcement of this Agreement and the terms and provisions hereof in any Proceeding, in addition to any other remedy to which such Person may be entitled. Each Party agrees that it will not oppose the granting of specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that the other Parties have an adequate remedy at Law or that an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at Law or equity. The Parties acknowledge and agree that any Party seeking an injunction to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in accordance with this
Section
5.10
shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such injunction.
5.11
No Recourse
. Notwithstanding anything that may be expressed or implied in this Agreement (except in the case of the immediately succeeding sentence) or any document, agreement, or instrument delivered contemporaneously herewith, and notwithstanding the fact that any Party may be a partnership or limited liability company, each Party hereto, by its acceptance of the benefits of this Agreement, covenants, agrees and acknowledges that no Persons other than the Parties shall have any obligation hereunder and that no Party has any rights of recovery hereunder against, and no recourse hereunder or under any documents, agreements or instruments delivered contemporaneously herewith or in respect of any oral representations made or alleged to be made in connection herewith or therewith shall be had against any former, current or future director, officer, agent, Affiliate, manager, assignee, incorporator, controlling Person, fiduciary, representative or employee of any Party (or any of their successors or permitted assignees), against any former, current, or future general or limited partner, manager, stockholder or member of any Party (or any of their successors or permitted assignees) or any Affiliate thereof or against any former, current or future director, officer, agent, employee, Affiliate, manager, assignee, incorporator, controlling Person, fiduciary, representative, general or limited partner, stockholder, manager or member of any of the foregoing, but in each case not including the Parties (each, but excluding for the avoidance of doubt, the Parties, a “
Non-Party
Affiliate
”), whether by or through attempted piercing of the corporate veil, by or through a claim (whether in tort, Contract, equity or otherwise) by or on behalf of such Party against the
Non-Party
Affiliates, by the enforcement of any assessment or by any Proceeding, or by virtue of any statute, regulation or other applicable Law, or otherwise; it being agreed and acknowledged that no personal Liability whatsoever shall attach to, be imposed on, or otherwise be incurred by any
Non-Party
Affiliate, as such, for any obligations of the applicable Party under this Agreement or any agreements, certificates, instruments and documents delivered pursuant hereto or the transactions contemplated hereby, in respect of any oral representations made or alleged to be made in connection herewith or therewith, or for any claim (whether in tort, Contract, equity or otherwise) based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their creation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a
Non-Party
Affiliate may have obligations under any documents, agreements or instruments delivered contemporaneously herewith or otherwise required by this Agreement if such
Non-Party
Affiliate is party to such document, agreement or instrument. Except to the extent otherwise set forth herein, and subject in all cases to the terms, conditions and limitations set forth herein, this Agreement may only be enforced against, and any claim or cause of action of any kind based upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement, may only be brought against the entities that are named as Parties hereto and then only with respect to the obligations set forth herein with respect to such Party. Each
Non-Party
Affiliate is intended as a third-party beneficiary of this
Section
5.11
.
5.12
Tax Matters
. For U.S. federal income Tax purposes (and to the extent applicable, state, local and
non-U.S.
income Tax purposes), the Parties intend that the purchase by the Surviving Pubco of the Symbotic Common Units pursuant to this Agreement be treated as a sale by the Sellers of their Symbotic Common Units to the Surviving Pubco in a taxable transaction under Section 741 of the Code, giving rise to an adjustment to the Surviving Pubco’s tax basis in the direct and indirect assets of Symbotic pursuant to Section 743(b) of the Code. Each Party shall, unless otherwise required by a final determination within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code or a change in applicable Law after the date hereof, cause all Tax Returns to be filed on a basis consistent with the foregoing.

Basis Schedule Accountant

Section

K-11

Table of Contents
(ii) A Net Tax Benefit is “
Attributable
” to a TRA Party to the extent it is derived from a Tax Asset with respect to Units that were Exchanged by such TRA Party.
(iii) The “
Interest Amount
” shall equal the interest on the Net Tax Benefit calculated at the Agreed Rate from the due date (without extensions) for filing the PubCo Return with respect to Taxes for such Taxable Year until the Payment Date. In the case of a Tax Benefit Payment made in respect of an Amended Schedule, the Interest Amount shall equal the interest on the Net Tax Benefit for such Taxable year calculated at the Agreed Rate from the date of such Amended Schedule becoming final in accordance with
Section
2.03(a)
until the Payment Date. The Net Tax Benefit and the Interest Amount shall be determined separately with respect to each separate Exchange.
(iv) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Change of Control has occurred and the obligations of PubCo hereunder have not been accelerated under

(c) The parties agree that (i) the payments made pursuant to this Agreement in respect of Basis Adjustments (to the extent permitted by applicable law and other than amounts accounted for as Interest Amounts) are intended to be treated and shall be reported for all purposes, including Tax purposes, as additional contingent consideration to the applicable TRA Parties in connection with the applicable Exchange that has the effect of creating additional Basis Adjustments in the Taxable Year of payment, (ii) any additional Basis Adjustments shall be incorporated into the calculation for the Taxable Year of the applicable payment and into the calculations for subsequent Taxable Years, as appropriate, and (iii) the Actual Tax Liability for any Taxable Year shall take into account the deduction of the portion of the Tax Benefit Payment that must be accounted for as an Interest Amount under applicable law;
provided
,
however
, that such liability for Taxes and such taxable income shall be included in the Hypothetical Tax Liability and the Actual Tax Liability, subject to the adjustments and assumptions set forth in this Agreement and, to the extent any such amount is taken into account on an Amended Schedule, such amount shall adjust a Tax Benefit Payment, as applicable, in accordance with
Section
2.03(b)

Section
3.03
, as applicable.
Section
3.04.
Maximum Selling Price
. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the timing, amounts, and aggregate value of Tax Benefit Payments pursuant to this Agreement are not reasonably ascertainable. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, unless (i) the parties agree otherwise in writing upon the request of the applicable TRA Party or (ii) the applicable TRA Party provides timely written notice to PubCo that any recipient of any Tax Benefit Payment will elect out of the installment method under Section 453 for any Exchange, then in no event shall the sum of the initial consideration (for U.S. federal income tax purposes) received in connection

with such Exchange and the aggregate Tax Benefit Payments to such TRA Party that are treated (for U.S. federal income tax purposes) as contingent consideration in respect of such Exchange, other than amounts accounted for as interest under the Code, exceed 140% of the initial consideration received for U.S. federal income tax purposes in connection with such Exchange.
Section
3.05.
Excess Payments

Section
3.01(a)

Section
3.01(a)
until the TRA Party has foregone an amount of payments equal to such excess, and (ii) PubCo shall pay the amount of the TRA Party’s foregone payments to other TRA Parties (to the extent applicable) in a manner such that each of the other TRA Parties, to the extent possible, shall have received aggregate payments under

provided
,
further
, that PubCo may withdraw any notice to execute its termination rights under this
Section
4.01(a)
prior to the time at which any Early Termination Payment has been paid. Upon payment of the Early Termination Payments by PubCo, neither the applicable TRA Parties nor PubCo shall have any further payment obligations under this Agreement in respect of such TRA Parties, other than for any (i) Tax Benefit Payment agreed to by PubCo and the applicable TRA Party as due and payable but unpaid as of the date of the Early Termination Notice, (ii) Tax Benefit Payment due for the Taxable Year ending with or including the date of the Early Termination Notice (except to the extent that the amount described in clause (ii) is included in the Early Termination Payment) or (iii) amount owed in connection with any breach of this Agreement by PubCo.
(b) In the event that PubCo materially breaches this Agreement, whether as a result of failure to make any payment within 60 days after becoming due (except for all or a portion of such payment that is being validly disputed in good faith under this Agreement, and then only with respect to the amount in dispute), failure to honor any other material obligation required hereunder or by operation of law as a result of the rejection of this Agreement in a case commenced under the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise, then, at the election of the Representative, all obligations hereunder shall be accelerated and such obligations shall be calculated as if an Early Termination Notice had been delivered on the date of such breach and shall include, but not be limited to, (i) the Early Termination Payment calculated as if an Early Termination Notice had been delivered on the date of a breach, (ii) any Tax Benefit Payment agreed to by PubCo and any TRA Parties as due and payable but unpaid as of the date of a breach, and (iii) any Tax Benefit Payment due for the Taxable Year ending with or including the date of a breach. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that PubCo breaches this Agreement, the Representative shall be entitled to elect on behalf of each of the TRA Parties to receive the amounts set forth in the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of this
Section
4.01(b)
or to seek specific performance of the terms hereof. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, it shall not be a material breach of this Agreement if PubCo fails to make any Tax Benefit Payment within 60 days after becoming due (A) to the extent that PubCo has insufficient funds to make such payment despite using reasonable best efforts to obtain funds to make such payment (including by causing OpCo or any other subsidiaries of OpCo to distribute or lend funds to facilitate such payment, and by accessing any revolving credit facilities or other sources of available credit to fund any

such amounts) or (B) because PubCo is prohibited from making such payment as a result of limitations imposed by existing credit agreements to which OpCo is a party;
provided
, that (x) the interest provisions of
Section
5.02
shall apply to such late payment, and (y) solely with respect to a Tax Benefit Payment, if PubCo does not have sufficient cash to make such payment as a result of limitations imposed by existing credit agreements to which OpCo is a party,
Section
5.02
shall apply, but the Default Rate shall be replaced by the Agreed Rate.
(c) PubCo hereby agrees to provide 20 calendar days’ prior written notice to the Representative of a Change of Control and, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Representative, all obligations hereunder shall be accelerated and such obligations shall be calculated as if an Early Termination Notice had been delivered on the date of such Change of Control and utilizing the Valuation Assumptions by substituting the phrase “the closing date of the Change of Control” in each place where the phrases “an Early Termination Date”, “such Early Termination Date”, and “the Early Termination Date” appear. Such obligations shall include, but not be limited to, (i) the Early Termination Payment calculated as if an Early Termination Notice had been delivered on the date of such Change of Control, (ii) any Tax Benefit Payment previously due and payable but unpaid as of the date of such Change of Control, and (iii) except to the extent included in the Early Termination Payment or if included as a payment under clause (ii) of this
Section
4.01(c)
, any Tax Benefit Payment due for the Taxable Year ending prior to, with or including the date of such Change of Control. If PubCo will not be the surviving company upon such Change of Control, PubCo agrees to cause the definitive documentation for such Change of Control to require the surviving or successor company to PubCo to satisfy PubCo’s obligations under this Agreement, including with respect to this
Section
4.01(c),
Section
4.02
and
Section
4.03
, and the Representative shall be entitled to seek specific performance of the terms hereof. For the avoidance of doubt,
Section
4.02
and
Section
4.03
shall apply to a Change of Control,
mutatis mutandis
.
(d) In the case of a termination pursuant to any of the foregoing
paragraphs
(a)
,
(b)
or
(c)
, upon PubCo’s payment in full of the Early Termination Payment to each TRA Party, PubCo shall have no further payment obligations under this Agreement other than with respect to any Tax Benefit Payments in respect of any Taxable Year ending prior to the Early Termination Date, and such payment obligations shall survive the termination of, and be calculated and paid in accordance with, this Agreement.

Shelf in accordance with the terms hereof, and shall prepare and file with the SEC such amendments, including post-effective amendments, and supplements as may be necessary to keep the Form
S-1
Shelf continuously effective, available for use and in compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act until such time as there are no longer any Registrable Securities. Following the filing of the Form
S-1
Shelf, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to convert the Form
S-1
Shelf (and any Subsequent Shelf Registration) to a Registration Statement on Form
S-3
(the “
Form
S-3
Shelf
”) as soon as practicable after the Company is eligible to use Form
S-3.
2.3.2 If any Shelf ceases to be effective under the Securities Act for any reason at any time while Registrable Securities included thereon are still held by Holders, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to as promptly as is reasonably practicable cause such Shelf to again become effective under the Securities Act (including obtaining the prompt withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of such Shelf), and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to as promptly as is reasonably practicable amend such Shelf in a manner reasonably expected to result in the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of such Shelf or file an additional registration statement (a “
Subsequent Shelf Registration

Securities Act until such time as there are no longer any Registrable Securities included thereon still held by Holders. Any such Subsequent Shelf Registration shall be on Form
S-3
to the extent that the Company is eligible to use such form. Otherwise, such Subsequent Shelf Registration shall be on another appropriate form. In the event that any Holder holds Registrable Securities that are not registered for resale on a delayed or continuous basis, the Company, upon request of a Holder, shall promptly use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the resale of such Registrable Securities to be covered by either, at the Company’s option, a Shelf (including by means of a post-effective amendment) or a Subsequent Shelf Registration and cause the same to become effective as soon as practicable after such filing and such Shelf or Subsequent Shelf Registration shall be subject to the terms hereof;
provided

Takedown Requesting Holder
”) at least 24 hours prior to the public announcement of such Underwritten Shelf Takedown pursuant to written contractual piggyback registration rights of such holder (including to those set forth herein). The Major Holder holding a
majority-in-interest
of the Registrable Securities to be included in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown shall have the right to select the Underwriters for such offering (which shall consist of one or more reputable nationally recognized investment banks), subject to the Company’s prior approval which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. For purposes of clarity, any Registration effected pursuant to this
subsection 2.3.3
shall not be counted as a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration effected under
Section
2.1
hereof. The Symbotic Major Holders, on the one hand, and the Sponsor, on the other hand, may each demand not more than three (3) Underwritten Shelf Takedowns pursuant to this Section 2.3.3 in any
12-month
period.

The Company shall indemnify the Underwriters, their officers and directors and each person who controls such Underwriters (within the meaning of the Securities Act) to the same extent as provided in the foregoing with respect to the indemnification of the Holder.
4.1.2 In connection with any Registration Statement in which a Holder of Registrable Securities is participating, such Holder shall furnish to the Company in writing such information and affidavits as the Company reasonably requests for use in connection with any such Registration Statement or Prospectus and, to the extent permitted by law, shall indemnify the Company, its directors and officers and agents and each person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees) resulting from any untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing by such Holder expressly for use therein;
provided
,
however
, that the obligation to indemnify shall be several, not joint and several, among such Holders of Registrable Securities, and the liability of each such Holder of Registrable Securities shall be in proportion to and limited to the net proceeds received by such Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. The Holders of Registrable Securities shall indemnify the Underwriters, their officers, directors and each person who controls such Underwriters (within the meaning of the Securities Act) to the same extent as provided in the foregoing with respect to indemnification of the Company.
4.1.3 Any person entitled to indemnification herein shall (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any person’s right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not materially prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (ii) unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which cannot be settled in all respects by the payment of money (and such money is so paid by the indemnifying party pursuant to the terms of such settlement) or which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.
4.1.4 The indemnification provided for under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director or controlling person of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of securities.

Table of Contents
Holder of Registrable Securities participating in an offering also agrees to make such provisions as are reasonably requested by any indemnified party for contribution to such party in the event the Company’s or such Holder’s indemnification is unavailable for any reason.
4.1.5 If the indemnification provided under
Section
4.1
hereof from the indemnifying party is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, shall, except in the case of fraud or willful misconduct by such indemnified party, contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, was made by, or relates to information supplied by, such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the indemnifying party’s and indemnified party’s relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action;
provided
,
however
, that the liability of any Holder under this
subsection 4.1.5
shall be limited to the amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder in such offering giving rise to such liability. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses or other liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in
subsections 4.1.1
,
4.1.2
and
4.1.3
above, any legal or other fees, charges or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this
subsection 4.1.5

subsection 4.1.5
. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution pursuant to this
subsection 4.1.5
from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

Assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery of the same by the Issuer, this Subscription Agreement is enforceable against Subscriber in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited or otherwise affected by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium or other laws relating to or affecting the rights of creditors generally, and (ii) principles of equity, whether considered at law or equity.
2.1.3 The execution, delivery and performance by Subscriber of this Subscription Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein do not and will not (i) conflict with or result in a breach or violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any of the property or assets of Subscriber or any of its subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, lease, license or other agreement or instrument to which Subscriber or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which Subscriber or any of its subsidiaries is bound or to which any of the property or assets of Subscriber or any of its subsidiaries is subject, which would reasonably be expected to prevent or delay Subscriber’s timely performance of its obligations under this Subscription Agreement (a “
Subscriber Material Adverse Effect
”), (ii) result in any violation of the provisions of the organizational documents of Subscriber or any of its subsidiaries or (iii) result in any violation of any statute or any judgment, order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency or body, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over Subscriber or any of its subsidiaries or any of their respective properties that would reasonably be expected to have a Subscriber Material Adverse Effect.
2.1.4 Subscriber (i) is (a) an institutional “accredited investor” (within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act of 1933 (as amended, the “

Schedule I
hereto and (b) an “institutional account” (as defined in FINRA Rule 4512(c)), (ii) is acquiring the Shares only for its own account and not for the account of others, or if Subscriber is subscribing for the Shares as a fiduciary or agent for one or more investor accounts, each owner of such account is an accredited investor (within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act) and Subscriber has full investment discretion with respect to each such account, and the full power and authority to make the acknowledgements, representations, warranties and agreements herein on behalf of each owner of each such account, (iii) is not acquiring the Shares with a view to, or for offer or sale in connection with, any distribution thereof in violation of the Securities Act or the laws of any jurisdiction, and (iv) has provided the requested information on

“This security was originally issued in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and this security may not be offered, sold or otherwise transferred in the absence of such registration or an applicable exemption therefrom.

Subscriber acknowledges that no disclosure or offering document has been prepared by Goldman Sachs & Co., Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. or any of their respective Affiliates or any of the foregoing’s respective control persons, directors, officers or other employees, partners, agents or other representatives (collectively, the “
Placement Agents
”) in connection with the offer and sale of the Shares. There have been no representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made to Subscriber by or on behalf of the Issuer, the Company, the Placement Agents or any of their respective Affiliates or any control persons, directors, officers or other employees, partners, agents or other representatives of any of the foregoing or any other person or entity, expressly or by implication, other than those representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the Issuer expressly set forth in this Subscription Agreement, and Subscriber is not relying on any representations, warranties or covenants other than those of the Issuer expressly set forth in this Subscription Agreement in making its investment or decision to invest in the Issuer.
2.1.7 Certain information provided or made available to Subscriber was based on projections, and such projections were prepared based on assumptions and estimates that are inherently uncertain and are subject to a wide variety of significant business, economic and competitive risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the projections. Subscriber acknowledges that such information and projections were prepared without the participation of the Placement Agents and that the Placement Agents do not assume responsibility for independent verification of, or the accuracy or completeness of, such information or projections.
2.1.8 None of the Placement Agents shall be liable to Subscriber (including in contract, tort, under federal or state securities laws or otherwise) for any action heretofore or hereafter taken or omitted to be taken by any of them in connection with this Subscription Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby.
2.1.9 The Placement Agents have made no independent investigation with respect to the Issuer, the Company or the Shares or the accuracy, completeness or adequacy of any information supplied to Subscriber by the Issuer or the Company.

Accordingly, Subscriber understands that the offering meets (a) the exemptions from filing under FINRA Rule 5123(b)(1)(A) and (b) the institutional customer exemption under FINRA Rule 2111(b).

non-exempt

Subscriber further acknowledges that the information provided and/or made available to Subscriber is preliminary and subject to change, and that any changes to such information, including any changes based on updated information or changes in terms of the Transaction, shall in no way affect Subscriber’s obligation to purchase the Shares hereunder.

2.1.16 Subscriber acknowledges that it is aware that there are substantial risks incident to the purchase and ownership of the Shares, including those set forth in the Issuer’s filings with the Commission. Subscriber has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Shares, and Subscriber has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as Subscriber has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision and Subscriber has made its own assessment and has satisfied itself concerning relevant tax and other economic considerations relative to its purchase of the Shares, the Transactions, the Merger Agreement, and the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

M-11

Table of Contents
a registration statement registering the resale of the Shares (the “
Registration Statement
”), and the Issuer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof, but no later than the earlier of (i) the 60th calendar day (or 90th calendar day if the Commission notifies the Issuer that it will “review” the Registration Statement) following the Closing and (ii) the 10th Business Day after the date the Issuer is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the Commission that the Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review (such earlier date, the “
Effectiveness Date
”);
provided
,
however
, that if the Commission is closed for operations due to a government shutdown, the Effectiveness Date shall be extended by the same amount of days that the Commission remains closed for operations;
provided
,
further
, that the Issuer’s obligations to include the Shares in the Registration Statement are contingent upon Subscriber furnishing in writing to the Issuer such information regarding Subscriber, the securities of the Issuer held by Subscriber and the intended method of disposition of the Shares as required by Commission rules for a Registration Statement or as shall be reasonably requested by the Issuer to effect the registration of the Shares, and Subscriber shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Issuer may reasonably request that are customary of a selling stockholder in similar situations, including providing that the Issuer shall be entitled to postpone and suspend the effectiveness or use of the Registration Statement during any customary blackout or similar period or as permitted hereunder, provided that the Subscriber shall not in connection with the foregoing be required to execute any
lock-up
or similar agreement or otherwise be subject to any contractual restriction on the ability to transfer the Shares. Subscriber agrees to disclose its beneficial ownership, as determined in accordance with Rule
13d-3
of the Exchange Act, of Shares to the Issuer (or its successor) upon request to assist the Issuer in making the determination described above. The Issuer may amend the Registration Statement so as to convert the Registration Statement to a Registration Statement on Form
S-3
at such time after the Issuer becomes eligible to use such Form
S-3.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Commission prevents the Issuer from including any or all of the shares proposed to be registered under the Registration Statement due to limitations on the use of Rule 415 under the Securities Act for the resale of the Shares by the applicable stockholders or otherwise, such Registration Statement shall register for resale such number of Shares which is equal to the maximum number of Shares as is permitted to be registered by the Commission. In such event, the number of Shares to be registered for each selling stockholder named in the Registration Statement shall be reduced pro rata among all such selling stockholders and as promptly as practicable after being permitted to register additional Shares under Rule 415 under the Securities Act, the Issuer shall amend such Registration Statement or file a new Registration Statement to register such additional Shares and cause such amendment or Registration Statement to become effective as promptly as practicable. For purposes of clarification, any failure by the Issuer to file the Registration Statement by the Filing Date or to effect such Registration Statement by the Effectiveness Date shall not otherwise relieve the Issuer of its obligations to file or effect the Registration Statement as set forth above in this Section 4. For purposes of this Section 4, “Shares” shall mean, as of any date of determination, the Shares and any other equity security issued or issuable with respect to the Shares by way of share split, dividend, distribution, recapitalization, merger, exchange, replacement or similar event, and shall include any person to whom the rights under this Section 4 shall have been duly assigned under Section 6.5.
4.2 In the case of the registration effected by the Issuer pursuant to this Subscription Agreement, the Issuer shall, upon reasonable request, inform Subscriber as to the status of such registration. At its expense the Issuer shall:
4.2.1 except for such times as the Issuer is permitted hereunder to suspend the use of the prospectus forming part of a Registration Statement, use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep such registration, and any qualification, exemption or compliance under state securities laws which the Issuer determines to obtain, continuously effective with respect to Subscriber, and to keep the applicable Registration Statement or any subsequent shelf registration statement free of any material misstatements or omissions, until the earlier of the following: (i) Subscriber ceases to hold any Shares; (ii) the date all Shares held by Subscriber may be sold without restriction under Rule 144, including any volume and manner of sale restrictions which may be applicable to Affiliates under Rule 144, and without the requirement for the Issuer to be in compliance with
M-12

Table of Contents
the current public information required under Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable); and (iii) two years from the Effectiveness Date of the Registration Statement;
4.2.2 advise Subscriber within five (5) Business Days:
(a) when a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto has been filed or has become effective;
(b) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for such purpose;
(c) of the receipt by the Issuer of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Shares included therein for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; and
(d) subject to the provisions in this Subscription Agreement, of the occurrence of any event that requires the making of any changes in any Registration Statement or prospectus so that, as of such date, the statements therein are not misleading and do not omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading.
provided
,
however
, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Subscription Agreement, the Issuer shall not, when so advising Subscriber of such events, provide Subscriber with any material, nonpublic information regarding the Issuer other than to the extent that providing notice to Subscriber of the occurrence of the events listed in (a) through (d) above constitutes material, nonpublic information regarding the Issuer;
4.2.3 use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement as soon as reasonably practicable;
4.2.4 upon the occurrence of any event contemplated in Section 4.2.2(d), except for such times as the Issuer is permitted hereunder to suspend, and has suspended, the use of a prospectus forming part of a Registration Statement, the Issuer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to as soon as reasonably practicable prepare a post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement or a supplement to the related prospectus, or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to purchasers of the Shares included therein, such prospectus will not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;
4.2.5 use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Shares to be listed on each securities exchange or market, if any, on which the Common Stock is then listed;
4.2.6 if the Shares are either eligible to be sold (A) pursuant to an effective Registration Statement or (B) without restriction under, and without the Issuer being in compliance with the current public information requirements of, Rule 144, then at the Subscriber’s request, the Issuer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause its transfer agent to remove any remaining restrictive legend set forth on such Shares within five (5) Business Days of a request by Subscriber. In connection therewith, if required by the Issuer’s transfer agent, the Issuer will promptly use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause an opinion of counsel to be delivered to and maintained with its transfer agent, together with any other authorizations, certificates and directions required by the transfer agent that authorize and direct the transfer agent to issue such shares without any such legend; provided, that Subscriber shall promptly provide such representation letters as may be reasonably requested by the Issuer’s counsel or the Transfer Agent in support of such opinion;
4.2.7 for so long as Subscriber holds the Shares, Issuer will use commercially reasonable efforts to file all reports for so long as the condition in Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable) is required to be
M-13

Table of Contents
satisfied, and provide all customary and reasonable cooperation, necessary to enable the Subscriber to resell the Shares pursuant to Rule 144; and
4.2.8 use its commercially reasonable efforts to take all other steps necessary to effect the registration and sale of the Shares contemplated hereby.
4.3 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Subscription Agreement, the Issuer shall be entitled to delay or postpone the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, and from time to time to require Subscriber not to sell under the Registration Statement or to suspend the effectiveness thereof, if the negotiation or consummation of a transaction by the Issuer or its subsidiaries is pending or an event has occurred, which negotiation, consummation or event the Issuer’s board of directors reasonably believes would require additional disclosure by the Issuer in the Registration Statement of material information that the Issuer has a
bona fide
business purpose for keeping confidential and the
non-disclosure
of which in the Registration Statement would be expected, in the reasonable determination of the Issuer’s board of directors, upon the advice of legal counsel, to cause the Registration Statement to fail to comply with applicable disclosure requirements (each such circumstance, a “
Suspension Event
”);
provided
,
however
, that the Issuer may not delay or suspend the Registration Statement on more than two occasions or for more than forty five (45) consecutive calendar days, or more than ninety (90) total calendar days, in each case during any twelve-month period. Upon receipt of any written notice from the Issuer of the happening of any Suspension Event during the period that the Registration Statement is effective or if as a result of a Suspension Event the Registration Statement or related prospectus contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made (in the case of the prospectus) not misleading, Subscriber agrees that (i) it will immediately discontinue offers and sales of the Shares under the Registration Statement (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, sales conducted pursuant to Rule 144) until Subscriber receives copies of a supplemental or amended prospectus (which the Issuer agrees to promptly prepare) that corrects the misstatement(s) or omission(s) referred to above and receives notice that any post-effective amendment has become effective or unless otherwise notified by the Issuer that it may resume such offers and sales, and (ii) it will maintain the confidentiality of any information included in such written notice delivered by the Issuer unless otherwise required by law or subpoena. If so directed by the Issuer, Subscriber will deliver to the Issuer or, in Subscriber’s sole discretion destroy, all copies of the prospectus covering the Shares in Subscriber’s possession;
provided
,
however
, that this obligation to deliver or destroy all copies of the prospectus covering the Shares shall not apply (a) to the extent Subscriber is required to retain a copy of such prospectus (1) in order to comply with applicable legal, regulatory, self-regulatory or professional requirements or (2) in accordance with a
bona fide
pre-existing
document retention policy or (b) to copies stored electronically on archival servers as a result of automatic data
back-up.
4.4 Subscriber may deliver written notice (including via email in accordance with this Subscription Agreement) (an “
Opt-Out
Notice
”) to the Issuer requesting that Subscriber not receive notices from the Issuer otherwise required by this Section 4; provided, however, that Subscriber may later revoke any such
Opt-Out
Notice in writing. Following receipt of an

Table of Contents
by applicable Law, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) and expenses (collectively, “Losses”), as incurred, that arise out of or are based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any prospectus included in the Registration Statement or any form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any prospectus or form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, except to the extent that such untrue statements or alleged untrue statements, omissions or alleged omissions are based upon information regarding Subscriber furnished in writing to the Issuer by Subscriber expressly for use therein or Subscriber has omitted a material fact from such information or otherwise violated the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state securities law or any rule or regulation thereunder in connection with any sale pursuant to the Registration Statement.
4.6 Subscriber shall, severally and not jointly with any Other Subscriber, indemnify and hold harmless the Issuer, its control persons, directors, officers or other employees, partners, and agents or other representatives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, from and against all Losses as incurred that arise out of or are based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, any prospectus included in the Registration Statement, or any form of prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any prospectus, or any form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statements or omissions are based upon information regarding Subscriber furnished in writing to the Issuer by Subscriber expressly for use therein. In no event shall the liability of Subscriber hereunder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by Subscriber upon the sale of the Shares giving rise to such indemnification obligation.
4.7 Any person or entity entitled to indemnification herein shall (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any person’s or any entity’s right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (ii) permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent. An indemnifying party who elects not to assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of legal counsel to any indemnified party a conflict of interest exists between such indemnified party and any other of the indemnified parties with respect to such claim. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which cannot be settled in all respects by the payment of money (and such money is so paid by the indemnifying party pursuant to the terms of such settlement) or which settlement does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.
4.8 If the indemnification provided under this Section 4 from the indemnifying party is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any Losses referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such Losses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, was made by, or relates to information supplied by, such
M-15

Table of Contents
indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the indemnifying party’s and indemnified party’s relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses or other liabilities referred to above shall be subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 4 and deemed to include any legal or other fees, charges or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. No person or entity guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution pursuant to this Section 4.8 from any person or entity who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. Each indemnifying party’s obligation to make a contribution pursuant to this Section 4.8 shall be individual, not joint and several, and in no event shall the liability of Subscriber hereunder exceed the net proceeds received by Subscriber upon the sale of the Shares giving rise to such indemnification obligation.
5.

set-off,

6.8
Consent to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial
. Each of the parties irrevocably consents to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware,
provided
, that if subject matter jurisdiction over the matter that is the subject of the legal proceeding is vested exclusively in the U.S. federal courts, such legal proceeding shall be heard in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware (together with the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware “
Chosen Courts
”), in connection with any matter based upon or arising out of this Subscription Agreement.

delivery, or by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, at its address specified pursuant to Section 6.2 and waives and covenants not to assert or plead any objection which they might otherwise have to such manner of service of process.

6.10

.

The election of any remedy by a party hereto shall not constitute a waiver of the right of such party to pursue other available remedies. No notice to or demand on a party not expressly required under this Subscription Agreement shall entitle the party receiving such notice or demand to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of the party giving such notice or demand to any other or further action in any circumstances without such notice or demand.

Remedies
.
6.11.1 The parties hereto agree that the parties hereto would suffer irreparable damage if this Subscription Agreement is not performed or the Closing is not consummated in accordance with its specific terms or the Subscription Agreement is otherwise breached and that money damages or other legal remedies would not be an adequate remedy for any such damage.

The right to specific enforcement shall include the right of the Issuer to cause Subscriber and the right of the Subscriber to cause the Issuer to cause the transactions contemplated hereby to be consummated on the terms and subject to the conditions and limitations set forth in this Subscription Agreement. The parties hereto further agree (i) to waive any requirement for the security or posting of any bond in connection with any such equitable remedy, (ii) not to assert that a remedy of specific enforcement pursuant to this Section 6.11 is unenforceable, invalid, contrary to applicable law or inequitable for any reason and (iii) to waive any defenses in any action for specific performance, including the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.
6.11.2 The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that this Section 6.11 is an integral part of the transactions contemplated hereby and without that right, the parties hereto would not have entered into this Subscription Agreement.

6.14
Counterparts

In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or any other form of electronic delivery, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such signature page were an original thereof.
6.15
Construction
. The words “
include
,” “
includes
,” and “
including
” will be deemed to be followed by “
without limitation
.” Pronouns in masculine, feminine, and neuter genders will be construed to include any other gender, and words in the singular form will be construed to include the plural and vice versa, unless the context otherwise requires. The words “
this
Subscription
Agreement
,” “
herein
,” “
hereof
,” “
hereby
,” “
hereunder

The parties hereto intend that each representation, warranty, and covenant contained herein will have independent significance. If any party hereto has breached any representation, warranty, or covenant contained herein in any respect, the fact that there exists another representation, warranty or covenant relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity) which such party hereto has not breached will not detract from or mitigate the fact that such party hereto is in breach of the first representation, warranty, or covenant. All references in this Subscription Agreement to numbers of shares, per share amounts and purchase prices shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect any stock split, stock dividend, stock combination, recapitalization or the like occurring after the date hereof. Whenever the word “
transfer
” is used, it shall be deemed to be followed by the words “
including, if applicable, pursuant to the division of a limited liability company, limited partnership or other entity

M-20

Table of Contents
hereby and the Other Subscription Agreements executed and delivered at such time and the Transactions, and the Subscriber shall no longer be subject to any confidentiality or similar obligations under any current agreement, whether written or oral with Issuer, the Placement Agents, or any of their respective Affiliates in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.
7.2 Subscriber agrees to the publication and disclosure in (x) the Form
8-K
filed by the Issuer with the Commission in connection with the execution and delivery of the Business Combination Agreement, the Proxy Statement or any other filing with the Commission pursuant to applicable securities laws, in each case, only to the extent required by the federal securities laws or the Commission or upon its prior written consent, and (y) any other documents or communications provided by the Issuer to any Governmental Authority or to securityholders of the Issuer, in each case, only to the extent required by applicable law or the Commission or any other Governmental Authority, of Subscriber’s name and identity and the nature of Subscriber’s commitments, arrangements and understandings under and relating to this Subscription Agreement and, if deemed required or appropriate by the Issuer or the Subscriber, a copy of this Subscription Agreement; provided that, to the extent permitted by applicable law and feasible under the circumstances, the Issuer shall provide Subscriber with prior written notice (including by
e-mail)
of such permitted disclosure under the foregoing clauses (x) and (y), and shall reasonably consult with Subscriber regarding such disclosure. Other than as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, without Subscriber’s prior written consent, the Issuer will not publicly disclose the name of Subscriber or any of its Affiliates or investment advisers, other than to the Issuer’s lawyers, independent accountants and to other advisors and service providers who reasonably require such information in connection with the provision of services to such person, are advised of the confidential nature of such information and are obligated to keep such information confidential. Subscriber will promptly provide any information reasonably requested by the Issuer that is necessary for any regulatory application or filing to be made or approval required in connection with the Transactions (including filings with the Commission), to the extent readily available and, if such information is not already public, the Issuer agrees to keep such information confidential and disclose only such information as is required with respect to such filing.
8.
Trust Account Waiver
. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, Subscriber acknowledges that it has read the SVF Trust Agreement and understands that the Issuer has established the trust account described therein (the “
Trust Account
”) for the benefit of the Issuer’s public stockholders and that disbursements from the Trust Account are available only in the limited circumstances set forth therein. Subscriber further acknowledges and agrees that the Issuer’s sole assets consist of the cash proceeds of the Issuer’s initial public offering and private placements of its securities, and that substantially all of these proceeds have been deposited in the Trust Account for the benefit of its public stockholders. Accordingly, for and in consideration of the Issuer entering into this Subscription Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Subscription Agreement, the Merger Agreement or the Transaction Documents, Subscriber (on behalf of itself and its Affiliates) hereby irrevocably waives any past, present or future claim of any kind against, and any right to access, the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom), any trustee of the Trust Account or the Issuer to collect from the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) any monies that may be owed to it by the Issuer or any of its Affiliates for any reason whatsoever, and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) at any time, in connection with this Subscription Agreement (the “Released Claims”), including for any knowing and intentional material breach by any of the parties to this Subscription Agreement of any of its representations or warranties as set forth in this Subscription Agreement, or such party’s material breach of any of its covenants or other agreements set forth in this Subscription Agreement, which material breach constitutes, or is a consequence of, a purposeful act or failure to act by such party with the knowledge that the taking of such act or failure to take such act would cause a material breach of this Subscription Agreement; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 8 shall be deemed to limit Subscriber’s right, title, interest or claim to the Trust Account by virtue of such Subscriber’s record or beneficial ownership of securities of the Issuer acquired by any means other than pursuant to this Subscription Agreement, including, but not limited to, any redemption right with respect to any such securities of the Issuer. Nothing in this Section 8 shall be deemed to limit Subscriber’s right, title, interest in or claim (i) to assets held outside the Trust Account, for specific performance or other equitable relief, or (ii) to assets for funds
M-21

Table of Contents
that are released from the Trust Account and any assets that have been purchased or acquired with any such funds, or (iii) to funds held in the Trust Account by virtue of Subscriber’s record or beneficial ownership of shares of Common Stock of the Issuer acquired by any means other than pursuant to this Subscription Agreement. Subscriber agrees and acknowledges that such irrevocable waiver is material to this Subscription Agreement and specifically relied upon by the Issuer and its Affiliates to induce the Issuer to enter in this Subscription Agreement, and Subscriber further intends and understands such waiver to be valid, binding and enforceable against Subscriber and each of its Affiliates under applicable Law. To the extent Subscriber commences any action or proceeding based upon, in connection with, relating to or arising out of the Released Claims, which proceeding seeks, in whole or in part, monetary relief against the Issuer or its Representatives, Subscriber hereby acknowledges and agrees that Subscriber’s sole remedy shall be against funds held outside of the Trust Account and that such claim shall not permit Subscriber (or any person claiming on its behalf or in lieu of any of it) to have any claim against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) or any amounts contained therein. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Subscription Agreement, the Merger Agreement, or any Transaction Document, this Section 8 shall survive indefinitely, including the termination of this Subscription Agreement for any reason.
9.
Non-Reliance
and Exculpation
. Subscriber acknowledges that it is not relying upon, and has not relied upon, any statement, representation or warranty made by any person or entity (including the Issuer, the Company, any of their respective Affiliates or, any control persons, directors, officers or other employees, partners, agents or other representatives of any of the foregoing, or the Placement Agents), other than the statements, representations and warranties of the Issuer expressly set forth in this Subscription Agreement, in making its investment or decision to invest in the Issuer. Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that none of (i) any Other Subscriber (including its Affiliates or any control persons, directors, officers or other employees, partners, agents or other representatives), (ii) the Placement Agents, or (iii) any party to the Merger Agreement other than Issuer or any
Non-Party
Affiliate, shall have any liability or obligation to Subscriber, or any person or entity claiming through Subscriber, pursuant to, arising out of or relating to this Subscription Agreement, the negotiation hereof or its subject matter, or the transactions contemplated hereby, including with respect to any action heretofore or hereafter taken or omitted to be taken by any of them in connection with the purchase of the Shares hereunder or with respect to any claim (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) for breach of this Subscription Agreement or in respect of any written or oral representations made or alleged to be made in connection herewith, as expressly provided herein, or for any actual or alleged inaccuracies, misstatements or omissions with respect to any information or materials of any kind furnished by the Issuer, the Company, the Placement Agents or any
Non-Party
Affiliate concerning the Issuer, the Company, the Placement Agents,
any of their controlled Affiliates, this Subscription Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. For purposes of this Subscription Agreement,
“Non-Party
Affiliates” means each former, current or future director, officer or other employee, partner, member, manager, direct or indirect equityholder or Affiliate of the Issuer, the Company, the Placement Agents or any of the Issuer’s, or the Company’s or the Placement Agents’ controlled Affiliates or any family member of the foregoing.
10.
Several Obligations
. The obligations of the Subscriber and each Other Subscriber are several and not joint, and Subscriber shall not be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any Other Subscriber under the Other Subscription Agreements. Nothing contained herein or in any Other Subscription Agreement, and no action taken by Subscriber or any Other Subscriber pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Subscriber and any Other Subscriber as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Subscriber and Other Subscribers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated hereby.
11.
Tax Matters
. Subscriber agrees to complete and return with this Subscription Agreement, and to update as necessary, an executed Internal Revenue Service (“
IRS
”) Form
W-9
or
W-8,
as applicable. Subscriber further agrees that, in the event that (i) the information contained on such IRS Form
W-9
or
W-8
is no longer true and correct or (ii) upon reasonable request of the Issuer, Subscriber will provide a new IRS Form
W-9
or
W-8

All distributions made under this
Section
4.01
shall be made to the Members as of the close of business on such record date on a pro rata basis in accordance with each Member’s Percentage Interest as of the close of business on such record date;
provided
,
however
, that the Manager shall have the obligation to make distributions as set forth in
Sections 4.01(b)

Section

Section
4.01(a)
, such amount shall be held in trust by the Company for the benefit of such Member unless and until such time as such Unvested Units have vested in accordance with the applicable Equity Plan or individual Award Agreement, and within five Business Days of such time, the Company shall distribute such amounts to such Member.
(b)
Tax Distributions
.
(i) On or prior to each Tax Distribution Date, the Company shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, make quarterly cash distributions to the Members, on a pro rata basis, in an amount sufficient to ensure that each Member receives a distribution at least equal to such Member’s Assumed Tax Liability with respect to the relevant taxable period to which the distribution relates (“
Tax Distributions
”);
provided
that a final accounting for Tax Distributions shall be made for each Taxable Year after the allocation of the Company’s actual net taxable income or loss has been determined and any shortfall in the amount of Tax Distributions a Member received for such Taxable Year based on such final accounting shall promptly be distributed to such Member. For the avoidance of doubt, any excess Tax Distributions a Member receives with respect to any Taxable Year shall reduce future Tax Distributions otherwise required to be made to such Member with respect to any subsequent Taxable Year.
(ii) To the extent a Member otherwise would be entitled to receive less than its Percentage Interest of the aggregate Tax Distributions to be paid pursuant to this
Section
4.01(b)
(determined for this purpose by taking into account only Common Units and Tax Distributions with respect to Common Units) on any given date, the Tax Distributions to such Member shall be increased to ensure that all distributions to Members holding Common Units made pursuant to this
Section
4.01(b)
are made pro rata in accordance with the Members’ respective Percentage Interests (determined for this purpose by taking into account only Common Units and Tax Distributions with respect to Common Units).
(iii) If, on the date of a Tax Distribution, there is insufficient cash on hand to distribute, or the Company is restricted by the terms of its or its Subsidiaries’ indebtedness from distributing, in each case, to the Members the full amount of the Tax Distributions to which such Members are otherwise entitled, distributions pursuant to this
Section
4.01(b)
shall be made to the Members to the extent of available funds in accordance with their Percentage Interests and the Company shall make future Tax Distributions as soon as funds become available sufficient to pay the remaining portion of the Tax Distributions to which such Members are otherwise entitled. For purposes of this
Section
4.01(b)(iii)
, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall not be required to utilize any “basket” under its indebtedness other than the basket designated for purposes of making tax distributions (or its equivalent) if, in the reasonable discretion of the Manager, it is in the best interest of the Company and its Subsidiaries to maintain the capacity of such other basket.
(iv) In the event of any audit by, or similar event with, a taxing authority that affects the calculation of any Member’s Assumed Tax Liability for any Taxable Year (other than an audit for which no election is made pursuant to Section 6226 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder), or in the event the Company files an amended tax return, each Member’s Assumed Tax Liability with respect to such year shall be recalculated by giving effect to such event (for the avoidance of doubt, taking into account interest or penalties). Any shortfall in the amount of Tax Distributions the Members and former Members received for the relevant Taxable Years based on such recalculated Assumed Tax Liability promptly shall be distributed to such Members and the successors of such former Members, except, for the avoidance of doubt, to the extent distributions were made to such Members and former Members pursuant to
Section
4.01(a)
and this
Section
4.01(b)
in the relevant Taxable Years sufficient to cover such shortfall.
(c) In the event the Company pays any PTET in any jurisdiction, including as a result of making a PTET Election in such jurisdiction, any amounts so paid with respect to such PTET shall be deemed distributed to the Members to whom such payments are attributable.

(b) For purposes of computing the amount of any “Profits” or “Losses” with respect to the Company to be allocated pursuant to this
Article V
and to be reflected in the Capital Accounts of the Members, the determination, recognition and classification of any such item shall be the same as its determination, recognition and classification for U.S. federal income tax purposes (including any method of depreciation, cost recovery or amortization used for this purpose);
provided
,
however
, that:
(i) the computation of all items of income, gain, loss and deduction shall include those items described in Code Section 705(a)(l)(B) or Code Section 705(a)(2)(B) and Treasury Regulation
Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(i),
without regard to the fact that such items are not includible in gross income or are not deductible for U.S. federal income tax purposes;
(ii) if the Book Value of any property of the Company is adjusted pursuant to Treasury Regulation
Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(e)

(vi) Any amounts paid by the Company with respect to any PTET (including pursuant to a PTET Election) shall be disregarded in computing the amount of any item of income, gain, loss or deduction with respect to the Company to be allocated pursuant to this

Section 1.704-2(i).

(b) Nonrecourse deductions (as determined according to Treasury Regulation
Section 1.704-2(b)(1))

Section 1.704-2(f).
This
Section
5.03(b)
is intended to be a minimum gain chargeback provision that complies with the requirements of Treasury Regulation
Section 1.704-2(f)
and shall be interpreted in a manner consistent therewith.
(c) If any Member that unexpectedly receives an adjustment, allocation or distribution described in Treasury Regulation
Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4),
(5) or (6) has an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit as of the end of any Taxable Year, computed after the application of
Sections 5.03(a)
and
5.03(b)
but before the application of any other provision of this
Article V
, then items of income and gain for such Taxable Year shall be allocated to such Member in proportion to, and to the extent of, such Adjusted Capital Account Deficit. This

Section
5.03(d)

Table of Contents
(f) The allocations set forth in
Section
5.03(a)
through and including
Section
5.03(e)
(the “
Regulatory Allocations
”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of Sections
1.704-1(b)
and
1.704-2
of the Treasury Regulations. The Regulatory Allocations may not be consistent with the manner in which the Members intend to allocate items of income, gain, loss or deduction of the Company or make distributions. Accordingly, notwithstanding the other provisions of this
Article V
, but subject to the Regulatory Allocations, income, gain, deduction and loss with respect to the Company shall be reallocated among the Members so as to eliminate the effect of the Regulatory Allocations and thereby cause the respective Capital Accounts of the Members to be in the amounts (or as close thereto as possible) they would have been if Profit and Loss (and such other items of income, gain, deduction and loss) had been allocated without reference to the Regulatory Allocations. In general, the Members anticipate that this will be accomplished by specially allocating other Profit and Loss (and such other items of income, gain, deduction and loss) among the Members so that the net amount of the Regulatory Allocations and such special allocations to each such Member is zero.
(g) Notwithstanding the other provisions of this
Article V
, the Manager shall be authorized to make, in its good faith discretion, appropriate amendments to the allocations of Profits and Losses (and to individual items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit) pursuant to this Agreement (i) to comply with Section 704 of the Code or applicable Treasury Regulations, and/or (ii) to allocate properly Profits and Losses (and individual items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit) to those Members that bear the economic burden or benefit associated therewith (including by making one or more special allocations of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit to one or more Members). If there are any changes after the date of this Agreement in applicable tax Law, regulations or interpretation, or any errors, ambiguities, inconsistencies or omissions in this Agreement with respect to allocations to be made to Capital Accounts which would, individually or in the aggregate, cause the Members not to achieve in any material respect the economic objectives underlying this Agreement, the Manager may in its discretion make appropriate adjustments to such allocations in order to achieve or approximate such economic objectives.
Section
5.04
Tax Allocations
.
(a) The income, gains, losses, deductions and credits of the Company will be allocated, for federal, state and local income tax purposes, among the Members in accordance with the allocation of such income, gains, losses, deductions and credits among the Members for computing their Capital Accounts;
provided
that if any such allocation is not permitted by the Code or other applicable Law, the Company’s subsequent income, gains, losses, deductions and credits will be allocated among the Members so as to reflect as nearly as possible the allocation set forth herein in computing their Capital Accounts.
(b) Items of taxable income, gain, loss and deduction of the Company with respect to any property contributed to the capital of the Company shall be allocated among the Members in accordance with Code Section 704(c) so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Company for federal income tax purposes and its Book Value using the traditional method set forth in Treasury Regulations
Section 1.704-3(b);
provided
that the traditional method with curative allocations (as described in the final sentence of Treasury Regulations
Section 1.704-3(c)(3)(iii)(B))
shall apply with respect to gain from the sale of such property.
(c) If the Book Value of any asset of the Company is adjusted pursuant to
Section
5.01(b)
, including adjustments to the Book Value of any asset of the Company in connection with the execution of this Agreement, subsequent allocations of items of taxable income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to such asset shall take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such asset for federal income tax purposes and its Book Value using the traditional method set forth in Treasury Regulations
Section 1.704-3(b);
provided
that the traditional method with curative allocations (as described in the final sentence of Treasury Regulations
Section 1.704-3(c)(3)(iii)(B))
shall apply with respect to gain from the sale of such asset.

(d) Allocations of tax credits, tax credit recapture, and any items related thereto shall be allocated to the Members as determined by the Manager taking into account the principles of Treasury Regulation
Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(ii).
(e) For purposes of determining a Member’s share of the Company’s “excess nonrecourse liabilities” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation
Section 1.752-3(a)(3),
each Member’s interest in income and gain shall be determined pursuant to any proper method, as reasonably determined by the Manager;
provided
, that each year the Manager shall use its commercially reasonable efforts (using in all instances any proper method, including, without limitation, the “additional method” described in Treasury Regulation
Section 1.752-3(a)(3))
to allocate a sufficient amount of the excess nonrecourse liabilities to those Members who would have at the end of the applicable Taxable Year, but for such allocation, taxable income due to the deemed distribution of money to such Member pursuant to Section 752(b) of the Code that is in excess of such Member’s adjusted tax basis in its Units;
provided
,
further
, that with respect to any of the Company’s “excess nonrecourse liabilities” that arise after the date hereof, the Manager shall not be required to allocate “excess nonrecourse liabilities” in the manner described in the preceding proviso to the extent that the Manager determines in its sole discretion made in good faith that such allocation would reasonably be expected to have an adverse impact on Pubco, in which case the Members’ shares of such “excess nonrecourse liabilities” shall be determined in accordance with the Members’ respective shares of the Company’s Profits.
(f) If, as a result of an exercise of a Noncompensatory Option to acquire an interest in the Company, a Capital Account reallocation is required under Treasury Regulation
Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(s)(3),
the Company shall make corrective allocations pursuant to Treasury Regulation
Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(x).
(g) Allocations pursuant to this
Section
5.04
are solely for purposes of federal, state and local taxes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Member’s Capital Account or share of Profits, Losses, distributions or other items of the Company pursuant to any provision of this Agreement.
Section
5.05
Indemnification and Reimbursement for Payments on Behalf of a Member
. If the Company is obligated to pay or elects to pay any amount to a Governmental Entity (or otherwise makes a payment to a Governmental Entity) that is specifically attributable to a Member or a Member’s status as such (including federal and state income taxes, additions to tax, interest and penalties as a result of obligations of the Company pursuant to an audit adjustment, federal withholding taxes, state personal property taxes and state unincorporated business taxes, but excluding payments such as payroll taxes, withholding taxes, benefits or professional association fees and the like required to be made or made voluntarily by the Company on behalf of any Member based upon such Member’s status as an employee of the Company), then such Member shall indemnify the Company in full for the entire amount paid (including interest, penalties and related expenses). The Manager may offset distributions to which a Member is otherwise entitled under this Agreement against such Member’s obligation to indemnify the Company under this
Section
5.05
, and any such offset amount shall be deemed to have been paid to such Member for all purposes of this Agreement, unless otherwise reimbursed by such Member under this
Section
5.05
. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, each Member agrees that any Cash Settlement such Member is entitled to receive pursuant to
Article XI
may be offset by an amount equal to such Member’s obligation to indemnify the Company under this
Section
5.05
and that such Member shall be treated as receiving the full amount of such Cash Settlement and paying to the Company an amount equal to such obligation. A Member’s obligation to make payments to the Company under this
Section
5.05
shall survive the transfer or termination of any Member’s interest in any Units of the Company, the termination of this Agreement and the dissolution, liquidation, winding up and termination of the Company.

Authority of Manager
; Officer Delegation
.
(a) Except for situations in which the approval of one or more Members is specifically required by this Agreement, (i) all management powers over the business and affairs of the Company shall be exclusively vested in Pubco, as the sole managing member of the Company (Pubco, in such capacity, the “
Manager
”), (ii) the Manager shall conduct, direct and exercise full control over all activities of the Company and (iii) no other Member shall have any right, authority or power to vote, consent or approve any matter, whether under the Delaware Act, this Agreement or otherwise. The Manager shall be the “manager” of the Company for the purposes of the Delaware Act. The Members hereby consent to the exercise by the Manager of all such powers and rights conferred on the Members by the Delaware Act with respect to the management and control of the Company and as provided by the provisions of this Agreement, subject to any exceptions as expressly provided herein. Any vacancies in the position of Manager shall be filled in accordance with
Section
6.04
.
(b) Without limiting the authority of the Manager to act on behalf of the Company, the Manager may, from time to time, delegate to one or more officers of the Company (each, an “
Officer
”) such authority and duties as the Manager may deem advisable. An Officer may, but need not, be a Member. Each Officer shall be appointed by the Manager and shall hold office until his or her or their successor shall be duly designated and shall qualify or until his or her or their death or until he or she or they shall resign or shall have been removed in the manner hereinafter provided. Any one Person may hold more than one office. Subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, the salaries or other compensation, if any, of the Officers of the Company shall be fixed from time to time by the Manager. The authority and responsibility of the Officers shall be limited to such duties as the Manager may, from time to time, delegate to them. Unless the Manager decides otherwise, if the title is one commonly used for officers of a business corporation formed under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, the assignment of such title shall constitute the delegation to such person of the authorities and duties that are normally associated with that office. All Officers shall be, and shall be deemed to be, officers and employees of the Company. An Officer may also perform one or more roles as an officer of the Manager. Any Officer may be removed at any time, with or without cause, by the Manager. The names and titles of the Officers as of the date hereof are set forth on
Exhibit B
.
(c) Subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, the Manager shall have the power and authority to effectuate the sale, lease, transfer, exchange or other disposition of any, all or substantially all of the assets of the Company (including the exercise or grant of any conversion, option, privilege or subscription right or any other right available in connection with any assets at any time held by the Company) or the merger, consolidation, conversion, division, reorganization or other combination of the Company with or into another entity, for the avoidance of doubt, without the prior consent of any Member or any other Person being required.

Section
6.04
Vacancies
. Vacancies in the position of Manager occurring for any reason shall be filled by Pubco (or, if Pubco has ceased to exist without any successor or assign, then by the holders of a majority in interest of the voting capital stock of Pubco immediately prior to such cessation).

provided
, that such contracts and dealings (other than contracts and dealings between the Company and its Subsidiaries) are on terms comparable to and competitive with those available to the Company from others dealing at arm’s length or are approved by the Members;
provided
that the foregoing shall in no way limit the Manager’s rights under
Sections 3.02

The Company shall pay, or cause to be paid, all costs, fees, operating expenses and other expenses of the Company (including the costs, fees and expenses of attorneys, accountants or other professionals) incurred in pursuing and conducting, or otherwise related to, the activities of the Company. The Members acknowledge and agree that the Manager’s Class A Common Stock is publicly traded and, therefore, the Manager has access to the public capital markets and that such status and the services performed by the Manager will inure to the benefit of the Company and all Members; therefore the Company shall also, in the reasonable discretion of the Manager, bear and/or reimburse the Manager for (a) any costs, fees or expenses incurred by the Manager in connection with serving as the Manager and (b) all other expenses allocable to the Company or otherwise incurred by the Manager in connection with operating the Company’s business, including, without limitation, all fees, expenses and costs associated with being a public company (including, without limitation, public reporting obligations, proxy statements, stockholder meetings, Stock Exchange fees, transfer agent fees, legal fees, SEC and FINRA filing fees and offering expenses) and maintaining its corporate existence. To the extent that the Manager determines in its reasonable discretion that such expenses are related to the business and affairs of the Manager that are conducted through the Company and/or its subsidiaries (including expenses that relate to the business and affairs of the Company and/or its subsidiaries and that also relate to other activities of the Manager), the Manager may cause the Company to pay or bear all expenses of the Manager, including, without limitation, compensation and meeting costs of any board of directors or similar body of the Manager, any salary, bonus, incentive compensation and other amounts paid to any Person to perform services for the Company, litigation costs and damages arising from litigation, accounting and legal costs and franchise taxes, except to the extent such franchise taxes are based on or measured with respect to net income or profits. To the extent practicable, expenses incurred by the Manager on behalf of or for the benefit of the Company shall be billed directly to and paid by the Company and, if and to the extent any reimbursements to the Manager or any of its Affiliates by the Company pursuant to this
Section
6.06
constitute gross income to such Person (as opposed to the repayment of advances made by such Person on behalf of the Company), such amounts shall be treated as “guaranteed payments” within the meaning of Code Section 707(c) (unless otherwise required by the Code and Treasury Regulations) and shall not be treated as distributions for purposes of computing the Members’ Capital Accounts. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing sentence of this
Section
6.06
, the Company shall not bear any income tax obligations of the Manager or any payments made pursuant to the Tax Receivable Agreement.

(c) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law and notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or in any agreement contemplated herein or applicable provisions of Law or equity or otherwise, whenever in this Agreement or any other agreement contemplated herein, the Manager is permitted or required to take any action or to make a decision in its “sole discretion” or “discretion,” with “complete discretion” or under a grant of similar authority or latitude, or if this Agreement is silent with respect to the authority or latitude the Manager has to take a particular action or make a particular decision, the Manager shall be entitled to consider such interests and factors as it desires, including its own interests, and shall have no duty or obligation to give any consideration to any interest of or factors affecting the Company, other Members or any other Person.

non-waivable
provision of the Delaware Act). Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, the failure of the Company to observe any formalities or requirements relating to the exercise of its powers or management of its business and affairs under this Agreement or the Delaware Act shall not be grounds for imposing personal liability on the Members for liabilities of the Company.
(b) In accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, including the Delaware Act, a Member may, under certain circumstances, be required to return amounts previously distributed to such Member. It is the intent of the Members that no distribution to any Member pursuant to
Articles IV

shall be deemed a return of money or other property paid or distributed in violation of the Delaware Act. The payment of any such money or distribution of any such property to a Member shall be deemed to be a compromise within the meaning of
Section 18-502(b)
of the Delaware Act, and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, any Member receiving any such money or property shall not be required to return any such money or property to the Company or any other Person, unless such distribution was made by the Company to such Members in clerical error. However, if any court of competent jurisdiction holds that, notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement, any Member is obligated to make any such payment, such obligation shall be the obligation of such Member and not of any other Member.
(c) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, including, for the avoidance of doubt,
Section 18-1101(c)
of the Delaware Act, and notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement (but subject to
Section

with respect to the Manager) or in any agreement contemplated herein, the parties hereto hereby agree that to the extent that any Member (other than the Manager in its capacity as such) (or any Member’s Affiliate or any manager, managing member, general partner, director, officer, employee, agent, fiduciary or trustee of any Member or of any Affiliate of a Member) has duties (including fiduciary duties) to the Company, to the Manager, to another Member, to any Person who acquires an interest in a Unit or to any other Person bound by this Agreement, all such duties (including fiduciary duties) are hereby eliminated and replaced with the duties or standards expressly set forth herein, if any.

Section
7.04
, except for Proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses, the Company shall indemnify and advance expenses to an indemnitee in connection with a Proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such indemnitee only if such Proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Manager.
(b) The rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses conferred on any indemnitee by this
Section
7.04

Section
7.04
by the Members or by changes in applicable Law, or the adoption of any other provision of this Agreement inconsistent with this
Section

Section
10.09
Certain Transactions with Respect to Pubco
.
(a) In connection with a Change of Control Transaction, the Manager shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to require each Member to effect a Redemption of all or a portion of such Member’s Units together, in the case of Common Units, with an equal number of shares of
Class V-1
Common Stock or
Class V-3
Common Stock, as applicable, pursuant to which such Units and such shares of
Class V-1
Common Stock or
Class V-3
Common Stock, as applicable, will be exchanged for shares of Class A Common Stock (or economically equivalent cash or securities of a successor entity),
mutatis mutandis
, in accordance with the Redemption provisions of
Article XI
(applied for this purpose as if Pubco had delivered an Election Notice that specified a Share Settlement with respect to such Redemption) and otherwise in accordance with this
Section
10.09(a)
. Any such Redemption pursuant to this
Section
10.09(a)
shall be effective immediately prior to the consummation of such Change of Control Transaction (and, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be contingent upon the consummation of such Change of Control Transaction and shall not be effective if such Change of Control Transaction is not consummated) (the date of such Redemption pursuant to this
Section
10.09(a)
, the “
Change of Control Date
”). From and after the Change of Control Date, to the extent the Manager shall have required each Member to effect a Redemption pursuant to this
Section
10.09(a)
, (i) the Units and any shares of
Class V-1
Common Stock or
Class V-3
Common Stock, as applicable, subject to such Redemption shall be deemed to be transferred to Pubco on the Change of Control Date and (ii) each such Member shall cease to have any rights with respect to the Units and any shares of
Class V-1
Common Stock or
Class V-3
Common Stock, as applicable, subject to such Redemption (other than the right to receive shares of Class A Common Stock (or economically equivalent cash or equity securities in a successor entity) pursuant to such Redemption). In the event the Manager desires to initiate the provisions of this
Section
10.09
, the Manager shall provide written notice of an expected Change of Control Transaction to all Members within the earlier of (x) five Business Days following the execution of an agreement with respect to such Change of Control Transaction and (y) 10 Business Days before the proposed date upon which the contemplated Change of Control Transaction is to be effected, including in such notice such information as may reasonably describe the Change of Control Transaction, subject to Law, including the date of execution of such agreement or such proposed effective date, as applicable, the amount and types of consideration to be paid for shares of Class A Common Stock in the Change of Control Transaction and any election with respect to types of consideration that a holder of shares of Class A Common Stock, as applicable, shall be entitled to make in connection with a Change of Control Transaction (which election shall be available to
N-32

Table of Contents
each Member on the same terms as holders of shares of Class A Common Stock). Following delivery of such notice and on or prior to the Change of Control Date, the Members shall take all actions reasonably requested by Pubco to effect such Redemption in accordance with the terms of
Article XI
, including taking any action and delivering any document required pursuant to this
Section
10.09(a)
to effect such Redemption. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Manager requires the Members to exchange less than all of their outstanding Units (and, in the case of Common Units, to surrender a corresponding number of shares of
Class V-1
Common Stock or
Class V-3
Common Stock, as applicable, for cancellation), each Member’s participation in the Change of Control Transaction shall be reduced pro rata
.
(b) In the event that a tender offer, share exchange offer, issuer bid, take-over bid, recapitalization, or similar transaction with respect to Class A Common Stock (a “
Pubco Offer
”) is proposed by Pubco or is proposed to Pubco or its stockholders and approved by the Corporate Board or is otherwise effected or to be effected with the consent or approval of the Corporate Board, the Manager shall provide written notice of the Pubco Offer to all Members within the earlier of (i) five Business Days following the execution of an agreement (if applicable) with respect to, or the commencement of (if applicable), such Pubco Offer and (ii) 10 Business Days before the proposed date upon which the Pubco Offer is to be effected, including in such notice such information as may reasonably describe the Pubco Offer, subject to Law, including the date of execution of such agreement (if applicable) or of such commencement (if applicable), the material terms of such Pubco Offer, including the amount and types of consideration to be received by holders of shares of Class A Common Stock in the Pubco Offer, any election with respect to types of consideration that a holder of shares of Class A Common Stock, as applicable, shall be entitled to make in connection with such Pubco Offer, and the number of Units (and, in the case of Common Units, the corresponding shares of
Class V-1
Common Stock or
Class V-3
Common Stock, as applicable) held by such Member that is applicable to such Pubco Offer. The Members (other than the Manager) shall be permitted to participate in such Pubco Offer by delivering a written notice of participation that is effective immediately prior to the consummation of such Pubco Offer (and that is contingent upon consummation of such offer), and shall include such information necessary for consummation of such offer as requested by Pubco.
(c) In the case of any Pubco Offer or Change of Control Transaction that was initially proposed by Pubco, Pubco shall use reasonable best efforts to enable and permit the Members (other than the Manager) to participate in such transaction to the same extent or on an economically equivalent basis as the holders of shares of Class A Common Stock, and to enable such Members to participate in such transaction without being required to exchange Units or shares of
Class V-1
Common Stock or
Class V-3
Common Stock, as applicable, prior to the consummation of such transaction. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall Common Unitholders be entitled to receive in such Pubco Offer or Change of Control Transaction aggregate consideration for each Common Unit that is greater than the consideration payable in respect of each share of Class A Common Stock in connection with a Pubco Offer or Change of Control Transaction (
it being understood
that payments under or in respect of the Tax Receivable Agreement shall not be considered part of any such consideration).
(d) In the event that a transaction or proposed transaction constitutes both a Change of Control Transaction and a Pubco Offer, the provisions of
Section
10.09(a)
shall take precedence over the provisions of
Section
10.09(b)
with respect to such transaction, and the provisions of
Section
10.09(b)
shall be subordinate to the provisions of
Section
10.09(a)
, and may only be triggered if the Manager elects to waive the provisions of
Section
10.09(a)
.
ARTICLE XI.

Table of Contents
Common Units (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any Unvested Units or Common Units the Transfer of which is prohibited pursuant to
Sections 10.07(b)
and
(c)
) (the “
Redemption Right
”) at any time and from time to time following the waiver or expiration of any contractual
lock-up
period relating to the shares of Pubco that may be applicable to such Member. A Member desiring to exercise its Redemption Right (each, a “
Redeeming Member
”) shall exercise such right by giving written notice (the “
Redemption Notice
”) to the Company with a copy to Pubco. The Redemption Notice shall (i) contain a representation and warranty of the Redeeming Member stating that he, she or they do not possess any material
non-public
information with respect to Pubco and (ii) specify the number of Common Units (the “
Redeemed Units
”) that the Redeeming Member intends to have the Company redeem and a date, not less than three Business Days nor more than 10 Business Days after delivery of such Redemption Notice (unless and to the extent that the Manager agrees in writing to waive such time periods), on which exercise of the Redemption Right shall be completed (
provided
that, if the Redemption Notice does not include a Redemption Date, the Redemption Date shall be three Business Days after delivery of such Redemption Notice) (the “
Redemption Date
”);
provided
, that the Company, Pubco and the Redeeming Member may change the number of Redeemed Units and/or the Redemption Date specified in such Redemption Notice to another number and/or date by mutual agreement signed in writing by each of them;
provided
,
further
, that in the event Pubco elects a Share Settlement, the Redemption may be conditioned (including as to timing) by the Redeeming Member on the closing of an underwritten distribution of the shares of Class A Common Stock that may be issued in connection with such proposed Redemption. Subject to
Section
11.03
and unless the Redeeming Member timely has delivered a Retraction Notice as provided in
Section
11.01(c)
or has revoked or delayed a Redemption as provided in
Section
11.01(d)
, on the Redemption Date (to be effective immediately prior to the close of business on the Redemption Date):
(i) the Redeeming Member shall Transfer and surrender, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances, (A) the Redeemed Units to the Company (including any certificates representing the Redeemed Units if they are certificated), and (B) with respect to the Common Units, a number of shares of
Class V-1
Common Stock or
Class V-3
Common Stock, as applicable (together with any Corresponding Rights), equal to the number of Redeemed Units to Pubco, to the extent applicable;
(ii) the Company shall (A) cancel the Redeemed Units, (B) transfer to the Redeeming Member the consideration to which the Redeeming Member is entitled under
Section
11.01(b)
, and (C) if the Common Units that are Redeemed Units are certificated, issue to the Redeeming Member a certificate for a number of Common Units equal to the difference (if any) between the number of Common Units evidenced by the certificate surrendered by the Redeeming Member pursuant to clause (i) of this
Section
11.01(a)
and the Redeemed Units; and
(iii) with respect to the Common Units that are Redeemed Units, Pubco shall cancel and retire for no consideration the shares of
Class V-1
Common Stock or
Class V-3
Common Stock, as applicable (together with any Corresponding Rights), that were Transferred to Pubco pursuant to
Section
11.01(a)(i)(y)
above.
(b) Pubco shall redeem the Redeemed Units in consideration for a Share Settlement;
provided
that Pubco shall have the option to elect to have the Redeemed Units be redeemed in consideration for a Cash Settlement (
it being understood
that Pubco shall not pay any interest on any Cash Settlement);
provided further
, that Pubco may elect to have the Redeemed Units be redeemed in consideration for a Cash Settlement only to the extent that Pubco has cash available from Pubco’s offering or sale of Class A Common Stock in an amount equal to at least the Redeemed Units Equivalent on the Redemption Date. In the event Pubco elects a Cash Settlement in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, it shall give written notice (the “
Election Notice
”) to the Company (with a copy to the applicable Redeeming Member) of such election within two Business Days of receiving the Redemption Notice. For the avoidance of doubt, if no Election Notice is delivered by Pubco, the Redeemed Units shall in all instances be redeemed in consideration for a Share Settlement. In the event of a Share Settlement (including in connection with a Direct Exchange pursuant to
Section
11.03
), Pubco shall deliver or cause to be delivered the number of shares of Class A Common Stock deliverable upon such Share Settlement as promptly as practicable (but not later than three Business Days) after the Redemption Date, at the offices of the then-acting registrar and transfer agent of the shares of Class A Common Stock (or, if there is no then-acting registrar and transfer agent of Class A Common Stock, at the principal executive offices of Pubco), registered in
N-34

Table of Contents
the name of the relevant Redeeming Member (or in such other name as is requested in writing by the Redeeming Member), in certificated or uncertificated form, as determined by Pubco;
provided
, that to the extent the shares of Class A Common Stock are settled through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company, upon the written instruction of the Redeeming Member set forth in the Redemption Notice, Pubco shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to deliver the shares of Class A Common Stock deliverable to such Redeeming Member through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company, to the account of the participant of The Depository Trust Company designated by such Redeeming Member by no later than the close of business on the Business Day immediately following the Redemption Date.
(c) In the event Pubco elects the Cash Settlement in connection with a Redemption, the Redeeming Member may retract its Redemption Notice by giving written notice (the “
Retraction Notice
”) to the Company (with a copy to Pubco) within three Business Days of delivery of the Election Notice. The timely delivery of a Retraction Notice shall terminate all of the Redeeming Member’s, the Company’s and Pubco’s rights and obligations under this
Section
11.01
arising from the Redemption Notice.
(d) In the event of a Share Settlement (
i.e.
, if no Election Notice has been delivered by Pubco) in connection with a Redemption, a Redeeming Member shall be entitled to revoke its Redemption Notice or delay the consummation of a Redemption if any of the following conditions exist:
(i) any registration statement pursuant to which the resale of the Class A Common Stock to be registered for such Redeeming Member at or immediately following the consummation of the Redemption shall have ceased to be effective pursuant to any action or inaction by the SEC or no such resale registration statement has yet become effective;
(ii) Pubco shall have failed to cause any related prospectus to be supplemented by any required prospectus supplement necessary to effect such Redemption;
(iii) Pubco shall have exercised its right to defer, delay or suspend the filing or effectiveness of a registration statement and such deferral, delay or suspension shall affect the ability of such Redeeming Member to have its Class A Common Stock registered at or immediately following the consummation of the Redemption;
(iv) the Redeeming Member is in possession of any material
non-public
information concerning Pubco, the receipt of which results in such Redeeming Member being prohibited or restricted from selling Class A Common Stock at or immediately following the Redemption without disclosure of such information (and Pubco does not permit disclosure of such information);
(v) any stop order relating to the registration statement pursuant to which the Class A Common Stock was to be registered by such Redeeming Member at or immediately following the Redemption shall have been issued by the SEC;
(vi) there shall have occurred a material disruption in the securities markets generally or in the market or markets in which the Class A Common Stock is then traded (as determined by the Manager);
(vii) there shall be in effect an injunction, a restraining order or a decree of any nature of any Governmental Entity that restrains or prohibits the Redemption;
(viii) Pubco shall have failed to comply in all material respects with its obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement, and such failure shall have affected the ability of such Redeeming Member to consummate the resale of Class A Common Stock to be received upon such Redemption pursuant to an effective registration statement; or
(ix) the Redemption Date would occur three Business Days or less prior to, or during, a
Black-Out
Period.

Section
11.01(d)
, the Redemption Date shall occur on the fifth Business Day following the date on which the condition(s) giving rise to such delay cease to exist (or such earlier day as Pubco, the Company and such Redeeming Member may agree in writing).
(e) The number of shares of Class A Common Stock (or Redeemed Units Equivalent, if applicable) (together with any Corresponding Rights) applicable to any Share Settlement or Cash Settlement shall not be adjusted on account of any distributions previously made with respect to the Redeemed Units or dividends previously paid with respect to Class A Common Stock;
provided
,
however
, that if a Redeeming Member causes the Company to redeem Redeemed Units and the Redemption Date occurs subsequent to the record date for any distribution under
Section
4.01(a)

provided
,
further
, that a Redeeming Member shall be entitled to receive any and all Tax Distributions that such Redeeming Member otherwise would have received in respect of income allocated to such Member for the portion of any Taxable Year irrespective of whether such Tax Distribution(s) are declared or made after the Redemption Date.
(f) In the case of a Share Settlement, in the event a reclassification or other similar transaction occurs following delivery of a Redemption Notice, but prior to the Redemption Date, as a result of which shares of Class A Common Stock are converted into another security, then a Redeeming Member shall be entitled to receive the amount of such other security (and, if applicable, any Corresponding Rights) that the Redeeming Member would have received if such Redemption Right had been exercised and the Redemption Date had occurred immediately prior to the record date of such reclassification or other similar transaction.
(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, neither the Company nor Pubco shall be obligated to effectuate a Redemption if such Redemption could (as determined in the sole discretion of the Manager) cause the Company to be treated as a “publicly traded partnership” or to be taxed as a corporation pursuant to Section 7704 of the Code or successor provisions of the Code.
Section
11.02
Election and Contribution of Pubco

The timely delivery of a Retraction Notice shall terminate all of the Company’s and Pubco’s rights and obligations under this
Section
11.02
arising from the Redemption Notice.

Article XI

Section
11.01
, including the right to revoke a Redemption Notice), Pubco may, in its sole discretion (as determined by at least two of its independent directors (within the meaning of the rules of the Stock Exchange) who are disinterested) (subject to the timing limitations set forth on such discretion in
Section
11.01(b)
), elect to effect on the Redemption Date the exchange of Redeemed Units for the Share Settlement or the Cash Settlement, as the case may be, through a direct exchange of such Redeemed Units and
N-36

Table of Contents
the Share Settlement or the Cash Settlement, as applicable, between the Redeeming Member and Pubco (a “
Direct Exchange
”) (rather than contributing the Share Settlement or the Cash Settlement, as the case may be, to the Company in accordance with
Section
11.02
for purposes of the Company redeeming the Redeemed Units from the Redeeming Member in consideration of the Share Settlement or the Cash Settlement, as applicable),
provided
, that Pubco may elect to have the Redeemed Units be redeemed in consideration for a Cash Settlement only to the extent that Pubco has cash available from Pubco’s offering or sale of Class A Common Stock in an amount equal to at least the Redeemed Units Equivalent on the Redemption Date. Upon such Direct Exchange pursuant to this
Section
11.03
, Pubco shall acquire the Redeemed Units and shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as the owner of such Units.
(b) Pubco may, at any time prior to a Redemption Date (including after delivery of an Election Notice pursuant to
Section
11.01(b)
), deliver written notice (an “
Exchange Election Notice
”) to the Company and the Redeeming Member setting forth its election to exercise its right to consummate a Direct Exchange;
provided
, that such election is subject to the limitations set forth in
Section
11.01(b)
and does not materially prejudice the Company’s ability to consummate a Redemption or Direct Exchange on the Redemption Date. An Exchange Election Notice may be revoked by Pubco at any time;
provided
, that any such revocation does not materially prejudice the Company’s ability to consummate a Redemption or Direct Exchange on the Redemption Date. The right to consummate a Direct Exchange in all events shall be exercisable for all of the Redeemed Units that would have otherwise been subject to a Redemption.
(c) Except as otherwise provided by this
Section
11.03
, a Direct Exchange shall be consummated pursuant to the same time frame as the relevant Redemption would have been consummated if Pubco had not delivered an Exchange Election Notice and as follows:
(i) the Redeeming Member shall transfer and surrender, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances, (A) the Redeemed Units and (B) with respect to any Common Units that are Redeemed Units, a number of shares of

Section
11.03(c)(i)(y)
above; and
(iii) the Company shall (A) in the case of a Cash Settlement, cancel the Redeemed Units and (B) with respect to any Common Units that are Redeemed Units, if the Units are certificated, issue to the Redeeming Member a certificate for a number of Common Units equal to the difference (if any) between the number of Common Units evidenced by the certificate surrendered by the Redeeming Member pursuant to
Section
11.03(c)(i)(x)
and the Redeemed Units, and issue to Pubco a certificate for the number of Redeemed Units.

provided
that nothing contained herein shall be construed to preclude Pubco from satisfying its obligations in respect of any such Share Settlement pursuant to a Redemption or Direct Exchange by delivery of purchased Class A Common Stock (which may or may not be held in the treasury of Pubco) or by way of Cash Settlement. Pubco shall deliver Class A Common Stock that has been registered under the Securities Act with respect to any Share Settlement pursuant to a Redemption or Direct Exchange to the extent a registration statement is effective and available with respect to such shares;
provided
, all such unregistered shares of Class A Common Stock (if any) shall be entitled to the registration rights set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement if the holders thereof are party to the Registration Rights Agreement and have
N-37

such rights thereunder. Pubco shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to list the Class A Common Stock required to be delivered upon any such Share Settlement pursuant to a Redemption or Direct Exchange prior to such delivery upon each national securities exchange upon which the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock are listed at the time of such Share Settlement pursuant to a Redemption or Direct Exchange (
it being understood
that any such shares may be subject to transfer restrictions under applicable securities Laws). Pubco covenants that all shares of Class A Common Stock issued in connection with a Share Settlement pursuant to a Redemption or Direct Exchange will, upon issuance, be validly issued, fully paid and
non-assessable.
The provisions of this
Article XI
shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with any corresponding provisions of the Pubco Certificate.
(b) Prior to any Redemption or Direct Exchange effected pursuant to this Agreement, Pubco shall take all such steps as may be required to cause to qualify for exemption under Rule
16b-3(d)
or (e), as applicable, under the Exchange Act, and to be exempt for purposes of Section 16(b) under the Exchange Act, any acquisitions from, or dispositions to, Pubco of equity securities of Pubco (including derivative securities with respect thereto) and any securities that may be deemed to be equity securities or derivative securities of Pubco for such purposes that result from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, by each officer or director of Pubco, including any director by deputization. The authorizing resolutions shall be approved by either the Corporate Board or a committee thereof composed solely of two or more
Non-Employee
Directors (as defined in Rule
16b-3)
of Pubco (with the authorizing resolutions specifying the name of each such director whose acquisition or disposition of securities is to be exempted and the number of securities that may be acquired and disposed of by each such Person pursuant to this Agreement).
Section
11.05
Effect of Exercise of Redemption or Direct Exchange
. This Agreement shall continue notwithstanding the consummation of a Redemption or Direct Exchange by a Member and all rights set forth herein shall continue in effect with respect to the remaining Members and, to the extent the Redeeming Member has a remaining Unit following such Redemption or Direct Exchange, the Redeeming Member.

.
(a) Unless otherwise required by applicable Law, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that a Redemption or a Direct Exchange, as the case may be, shall be treated for U.S. federal and applicable state and local income tax purposes as a sale by the Redeeming Member of its Redeemed Units to Pubco in a transaction to which Section 1001 of the Code applies.
(b) In connection with any Redemption or Direct Exchange, the Redeeming Member shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to deliver such form, deliver to the Manager (in the case of a Direct Exchange) or the Company (in the case of a Redemption) a certificate, dated as of the Redemption Date, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Manager or the Company, as applicable, certifying as to such Redeeming Member’s taxpayer identification number and that such Redeeming Member is not a foreign person for purposes of Section 1445 and Section 1446(f) of the Code (which certificate may be an IRS Form
W-9)
(such certificate, a “
Non-Foreign
Person Certificate
”). If a Redeeming Member is unable to provide a
Non-Foreign
Person Certificate in connection with a Redemption or a Direct Exchange, then (i) such Redeeming Member and the Company shall reasonably cooperate to provide any other certification or determination described in applicable Treasury Regulations or otherwise permitted under applicable Law at the time of such Redemption or Direct Exchange, and the Manager or the Company, as applicable, shall be permitted to withhold on the amount realized by such Redeeming Member in respect of such Redemption or Direct Exchange to the extent required under Section 1446(f) of the Code and Treasury Regulations thereunder after taking into account the certificate or other determination provided pursuant to this sentence and (ii) upon request and to the extent permitted under applicable Law, the Company shall deliver a certificate pursuant to Treasury Regulations

provided
, that if the Company is not legally entitled to provide the certificate described in clause (ii) of this

Article XIV
, but prior to such Member receiving the full amount of distributions from the Company to which such Member is entitled pursuant to
Article XIV
, shall be liable to the Company for all damages (including all lost profits and special, indirect and consequential damages) and costs and expenses directly or indirectly caused by the withdrawal or resignation of such Member.

Table of Contents

Section 18-801(4)
of the Delaware Act, unless the Company is continued without dissolution pursuant thereto; or
(c) the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution of the Company under

of the Delaware Act.
An Event of Withdrawal shall not in and of itself cause a dissolution of the Company and the Company shall continue in existence subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
Section
14.02
Winding up
. Subject to
Section
14.05
, on dissolution of the Company, the Manager shall act as liquidating trustee or may appoint one or more Persons as liquidating trustee (each such Person, a “
Liquidator

The costs of liquidation shall be borne as an expense of the Company. Until final distribution, the Liquidators shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, continue to operate the properties of the Company with all of the power and authority of the Manager. The steps to be accomplished by the Liquidators are as follows:
(a) as promptly as possible after dissolution and again after final liquidation, the Liquidators shall cause a proper accounting to be made by a recognized firm of certified public accountants of the Company’s assets, liabilities and operations through the last day of the calendar month in which the dissolution occurs or the final liquidation is completed, as applicable;
(b) the Liquidators shall pay, satisfy or discharge from the Company’s funds, or otherwise make adequate provision for payment and discharge thereof (including, without limitation, the establishment of a cash fund for contingent, conditional and unmatured liabilities in such amount and for such term as the Liquidators may reasonably determine), the following: first, all of the debts, liabilities and obligations of the Company owed to creditors other than the Members in satisfaction of the liabilities of the Company (whether by payment or the making of reasonable provision for payment thereof), including all expenses incurred in connection with the liquidations; and second, all of the debts, liabilities and obligations of the Company owed to the Members (other than any payments or distributions owed to such Members in their capacity as Members pursuant to this Agreement); and
(c) following any payments pursuant to the foregoing
Section
14.02(b)
, all remaining assets of the Company shall be distributed to the Members on a pro rata basis in accordance with each Member’s Percentage Interest by the end of the Taxable Year during which the liquidation of the Company occurs (or, if later, by 90 days after the date of the liquidation);
provided
,
however
, that the Company shall not make a distribution to any Member in respect of any Unvested Units.
The distribution of cash and/or property to the Members in accordance with the provisions of this
Section
14.02
and
Section
14.03
shall constitute a complete return to the Members of their Capital Contributions, a complete distribution to the Members of their interest in the Company and all of the Company’s property and a compromise to which all Members have consented within the meaning of the Delaware Act. To the extent that a Member returns funds to the Company, it has no claim against any other Member for those funds.
Section
14.03
Deferment; Distribution in Kind
. Notwithstanding the provisions of
Section
14.02
, but subject to the order of priorities set forth therein, if upon dissolution of the Company the Liquidators determine that an immediate sale of part or all of the Company’s assets would be impractical or would cause undue loss (or would otherwise not be beneficial) to the Members, the Liquidators may, in their sole discretion and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, defer for a reasonable time the liquidation of any assets except those necessary to satisfy the Company’s liabilities (other than loans to the Company by any Member(s)) and reserves. Subject to the order of priorities set forth in
Section
14.02
, the Liquidators may, in their sole discretion, distribute to the Members, in lieu of cash, either (a) all or any portion of such remaining assets in kind of the Company in accordance with the provisions of
Section
14.02(c),
(b) as tenants in common and in accordance with the
N-40

Table of Contents
provisions of
Section
14.02(c)
, undivided interests in all or any portion of such assets of the Company or (c) a combination of the foregoing. Any such distributions in kind shall be subject to (y) such conditions relating to the disposition and management of such assets as the Liquidators deem reasonable and equitable and (z) the terms and conditions of any agreements governing such assets (or the operation thereof or the holders thereof) at such time. Any assets of the Company distributed in kind will first be written up or down to their Fair Market Value, thus creating Profit or Loss (if any), which shall be allocated in accordance with
Article V
. The Liquidators shall determine the Fair Market Value of any property distributed.
Section
14.04
Cancellation of Certificate
. On completion of the winding up of the Company as provided herein, the Manager (or such other Person or Persons as the Delaware Act may require or permit) shall file a certificate of cancellation of the Certificate with the Secretary of State of Delaware, cancel any other filings made pursuant to this Agreement that should be canceled and take such other actions as may be necessary to terminate the existence of the Company. The Company shall continue in existence for all purposes of this Agreement until it is terminated pursuant to this
Section
14.04
.
Section
14.05
Reasonable Time for Winding Up
. A reasonable time shall be allowed for the orderly winding up of the business and affairs of the Company and the liquidation of its assets pursuant to
Sections 14.02
and

in order to minimize any losses otherwise attendant upon such winding up.
Section

(the “

”) for its initial public offering (“
IPO
”) of Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (the “

”) at a price of $10.00 per Class A Share;
WHEREAS, following the closing of the IPO (the “

”), the Company will seek to identify and consummate a Business Combination; and
WHEREAS, the parties wish to enter into this Agreement, pursuant to which, (i) immediately prior to the closing of the Company’s initial Business Combination (the “
Business Combination Closing
”), the Company shall issue and sell, and the Purchaser shall purchase, on a private placement basis, $150,000,000 of Class A Shares, at a price of $10.00 per Class A Share (the “
Forward Purchase Shares
”) on the terms and conditions set forth herein, and (ii) at any time subsequent to the date of the consummation of the IPO (but in no event later than immediately prior to the consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination), the Purchaser may, at its election, purchase in the aggregate from the Company, and the Company shall issue and sell to the Purchaser, on a private placement basis, up to additional $50,000,000 of Class A Shares, at a price of $10.00 per Class A Share, on the terms and conditions set forth herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, representations, warranties and the mutual covenants contained in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt, sufficiency and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

| 1. | Sale and Purchase .

(a)
Forward Purchase Shares
.
(i). Committed Purchase. Immediately prior to the Business Combination Closing, the Company shall issue and sell to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser shall purchase from the Company, an aggregate of $150,000,000 of Forward Purchase Shares (10,000,000 Forward Purchase Shares) (the “
Committed Purchase
”) upon written notice from the Company to the Purchaser specifying instructions for wiring the Committed Purchase Price and the anticipated date of Business Combination Closing, as promptly as practicable after the date hereof and no later than five (5) business days prior to such time as any definitive agreement with respect to a Business Combination is executed by the Company (a “
Committed Purchase Election Notice
”). The obligation to consummate the Committed Purchase set forth in this Section 1(a)(i) shall not be assignable or transferable by the Purchaser.
(ii). Additional Purchase. At any time subsequent to the date of the consummation of the IPO (but in no event later than immediately prior to the Business Combination Closing), the Purchaser

Table of Contents
may, at its election, purchase up to an additional $50,000,000 of Forward Purchase Shares (5,000,000 Forward Purchase Shares) (the “
Additional Purchase
”). The Additional Purchase shall be effectuated, if at all and at the Purchaser’s election, in one or more private placements of Forward Purchase Shares. The closing of any such private placement shall occur as soon as practicable but no later than five (5) business days after the Purchaser shall have issued a notice (an “
Additional
Purchase Election Notice
”) to the Company electing to consummate all or such portion of the Additional Purchase. Any Additional Purchase as set forth in this Section 1(a)(ii) shall be proportionately allocated to the Purchaser by multiplying the aggregate amount of such Additional Purchase by a fraction, (x) the numerator of which is the amount committed by that Purchaser for the purchase of Forward Purchase Shares as part of the Committed Purchase, and (y) the denominator of which is $150,000,000. The right to consummate the Additional Purchase as set forth in this Section 1(a)(ii) shall be transferable or assignable by the Purchaser to the extent set forth in Section 6. If a partial exercise occurs of the Additional Purchase amount, the remainder will continue to exist as a right of the Purchaser.
(iii). In connection with a Committed Purchase, the Company shall deliver written notice to the Purchaser as early as practicable, and in any case at least ten (10) Business Days before the funding of the purchase price for the Committed Purchase to the Escrow Account (defined below), specifying the anticipated date of the Business Combination Closing, the aggregate purchase price for the Committed Purchase, which should not be less than $150,000,000, and instructions for wiring the purchase price for the Committed Purchase to an account (the “
Escrow Account
”) of a third-party escrow agent, which shall be the Company’s transfer agent (the “
Escrow Agent
”), pursuant to an escrow agreement between the Company and the Escrow Agent (the “
Escrow Agreement
”). Two (2) Business Days before the anticipated date of the Business Combination Closing specified in such written notice, the Purchaser shall deliver the purchase price for the Committed Purchase in cash via wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account specified in such written notice, to be held in escrow in the Escrow Account pending the Business Combination Closing. If the Business Combination Closing does not occur within thirty (30) days after the Purchaser deliver the purchase price for the Committed Purchase to the Escrow Agent, the Escrow Agreement will provide that the Escrow Agent shall automatically return to the Purchaser the purchase price, provided that the return of the purchase price placed in escrow shall not terminate the Agreement or otherwise relieve either party of any of its obligations hereunder. The Purchaser agrees that it shall cooperate in good faith and use reasonable best efforts to effect the funding of the purchase price for the Committed Purchase on such notice as necessary to facilitate the consummation of the proposed Business Combination. For the purposes of this Agreement, “
Business Day
” means any day, other than a Saturday or a Sunday, that is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which banking institutions are generally authorized or required by law or regulation to close in the City of New York, New York.

(a) the applicable Transferee shall execute a signature page to this Agreement, substantially in the form of the Purchaser’s signature page hereto (the “
Joinder
Agreement
”), which shall reflect the number of Forward Purchase Shares such Transferee
shall have the right to purchase (the “
Transferee Securities
”), and, upon such execution, such Transferee shall have all the same rights and obligations of the Purchaser hereunder with respect to the Transferee Securities, and references herein to the “
Purchaser
” shall be deemed to refer to and include any such Transferee with respect to such Transferee and to its Transferee Securities;
provided
, that any representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the Purchaser and any such Transferee shall be several and not joint and shall be made as to the Purchaser or any such Transferee, as applicable, as to itself only; and
(b) upon a Transferee’s execution and delivery of a Joinder Agreement, the number of Forward Purchase Shares permitted to be purchased by the Purchaser hereunder shall be reduced by the total number of Forward Purchase Shares permitted to be purchased by the applicable Transferee pursuant to the applicable Joinder Agreement, which reduction shall be evidenced by the Purchaser and the Company amending
Schedule A
to this Agreement to reflect each transfer and updating the “Number of Forward Purchase Shares”, and “Aggregate Purchase Price for Forward Purchase Shares” on the Purchaser’s signature page hereto to reflect such reduced number of Forward Purchase Shares. For the avoidance of doubt, this Agreement need not be amended and restated in its entirety, but only Schedule A and the Purchaser’s signature page hereto need be so amended and updated and executed the Purchaser and the Company upon the occurrence of any such transfer of Transferee Securities.

| 7. | Lock-up .

EXHIBIT A
Registration Rights
1. Within
one-hundred
and eighty (180) days after the Business Combination Closing, the Company shall use reasonable best efforts (i) to file a registration statement on Form
S-3
for a secondary offering (including any successor registration statement covering the resale of the Registrable Securities, a “
Resale Shelf
”) of (x) the Class A Shares and (y) any other equity security of the Company issued or issuable with respect to the securities referred to in clause (x) by way of a share capitalization or share split or in connection with a combination of shares, recapitalization, merger, consolidation or reorganization (collectively, for so long as such securities are held by the Purchaser or its assignees under the Agreement (each, a “
Holder
”), the “
Registrable Securities
”) pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act; provided that if Form
S-3
is unavailable for such a registration, the Company shall register the resale of the Registrable Securities on another appropriate form and undertake to register the Registrable Securities on Form
S-3
as soon as such form is available, (ii) to cause the Resale Shelf to be declared effective under the Securities Act promptly thereafter, but in no event later than sixty (60) days after the initial filing of the Resale Shelf, and (iii) to maintain the effectiveness of such Resale Shelf with respect to the Registrable Securities until the earliest of (A) the date on which such securities are no longer Registrable Securities and (B) the date all of the Registrable Securities covered by the Resale Shelf can be sold publicly without restriction or limitation under Rule 144 under the Securities Act and without the requirement to be in compliance with Rule 144(c)(1) under the Securities Act.
2. The Holders may, after the Resale Shelf becomes effective, deliver a written notice to the Company (the “
Underwritten Offering Notice
”) specifying that the sale of some or all of the Registrable Securities subject to the Resale Shelf is intended to be conducted through a firm commitment underwritten offering (an “
Underwritten Offering
”);
provided, however
, that the Holders of Registrable Securities may not, without the Company’s prior written consent, (i) launch an Underwritten Offering the anticipated gross proceeds of which shall be less than $10,000,000 (unless the Holders are proposing to sell all of their remaining Registrable Securities), (ii) launch more than three Underwritten Offerings at the request of the Holders within any three-hundred sixty-five
(365) day-period
or (iii) launch an Underwritten Offering within the period commencing fourteen (14) days prior to and ending two (2) days following the Company’s scheduled earnings release date for any fiscal quarter or year. In the event of an Underwritten Offering, the Holders representing a
majority-in-interest
of the Registrable Securities to be included in such Underwritten Offering shall select the managing underwriter(s) for the Underwritten Offering;
provided
that the choice of such managing underwriter(s) shall be subject to the consent of the Company, which is not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If the underwriter(s) for any Underwritten Offering pursuant to this paragraph 2 of this Exhibit A (each, a “
Secondary Offering
”) advise the Company and the Holders that, in their good faith opinion, marketing factors require a limitation on the number of securities that may be included in such Secondary Offering, the number of securities to be so included shall be allocated as follows: (i) first, to the Holders that have requested to participate in such Secondary Offering, allocated
pro rata
among such Holders on the basis of the percentage of the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such Secondary Offering by such Holders, and (ii) second, to the holders of any other securities of the Company that have been requested to be so included.
3. Upon receipt of prior written notice by any Holder that they intend to effect a sale of Registrable Securities held by them as are then registered pursuant to the Resale Shelf, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cooperate in such sale (whether or not such sale constitutes an Underwritten Offering), including by amending or supplementing the prospectus related to such Resale Shelf as may be reasonably requested by such Holder for so long as such Holder holds Registrable Securities.
4. In the event the Company is prohibited by applicable rule, regulation or interpretation by the staff (the “
Staff
”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “
SEC
”) from registering all of the Registrable Securities on the Resale Shelf or the Staff requires that any Holder be specifically identified as an “underwriter” in order to permit such registration statement to become effective, and such Holder does not consent in writing to being so named as an underwriter in such registration statement, the number of Registrable Securities to be

Table of Contents
registered on the Resale Shelf will be reduced on a pro rata basis among all Holders to be so included, unless otherwise required by the Staff, so that the number of Registrable Securities to be registered is permitted by the Staff and such Holder is not required to be named as an “underwriter”;
provided
, that any Registrable Securities not registered due to this paragraph 4 shall thereafter as soon as allowed by the SEC guidance be registered to the extent the prohibition no longer is applicable.
5. If at any time the Company proposes to file a registration statement (a “
Registration Statement
”) on its own behalf, or on behalf of any other Persons who have registration rights (“
Other Holders
”), relating to an Underwritten Offering of ordinary shares (a “
Company Offering
”), then the Company will provide the Holders with notice in writing (an “
Offer Notice
”) at least three (3) Business Days prior to such filing, which Offer Notice will offer to include in the Registration Statement the Registrable Securities held by each Holder (the “
Piggyback Securities
”). Within three (3) Business Days after receiving the Offer Notice, each Holder may make a written request (a “
Piggyback Request
”) to the Company to include some or all of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the Registration Statement. If the underwriter(s) for any Company Offering advise the Company that, in their good faith opinion, marketing factors require a limitation on the number of securities that may be included in the Company Offering, the number of securities to be so included shall be allocated as follows: (i) first, to the Company and the Other Holders, if any; and (ii) second, to the Holders and any other holders of similar piggyback rights, based pro rata on the value of the securities requested to be sold in such Company Offering by each requesting holder.
6. In connection with any Underwritten Offering, the Company shall enter into such customary agreements and take all such other actions in connection therewith (including those requested by Holders representing a
majority-in-interest
of the Registrable Securities to be included in such Underwritten Offering) in order to facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities as are reasonably necessary or required, and in such connection enter into a customary underwriting agreement that provides for customary opinions, comfort letters and officer’s certificates and other customary deliverables.
7. The Company shall pay all fees and expenses incident to the performance of or compliance with its obligation to prepare, file and maintain the Resale Shelf (including the fees of its counsel and accountants). The Company shall also pay all Registration Expenses. For purposes of this paragraph 7, “
Registration Expenses
” shall mean the
out-of-pocket
expenses of any Secondary Offering and any Company Offering, including, without limitation, the following: (i) all registration and filing fees (including fees with respect to filings required to be made with FINRA and any securities exchange on which the Registrable Securities are then listed); (ii) fees and expenses of compliance with securities or blue sky laws (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the underwriters in connection with blue sky qualifications of the Registrable Securities); (iii) printing, messenger, telephone and delivery expenses; (iv) reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company; (v) reasonable fees and disbursements of all independent registered public accountants of the Company; and (vi) reasonable fees and expenses of one (1) legal counsel selected by Holders representing a
majority-in-interest
of the Registrable Securities participating in any such Secondary Offering not to exceed $75,000 per Secondary Offering, but shall not include any incremental selling expenses relating to the sale of Registrable Securities, such as underwriters’ commissions and discounts, brokerage fees, underwriter marketing costs and, other than as set forth in clause (vi) of this paragraph 7, the fees and expenses of any legal counsel representing the Holders; and provided that the Company shall only be responsible for expenses under clause (vi) with respect to two Secondary Offerings in any consecutive three-hundred sixty-five
(365) day-period.
8. The Company may suspend the use of a prospectus included in the Resale Shelf by furnishing to the Holders a written notice (“
Suspension Notice
”) stating that in the good faith judgment of the Company, it would be either (i) prohibited by the Company’s insider trading policy (as if the Holders were covered by such policy) or (ii) materially detrimental to the Company and its shareholders for such prospectus to be used at such time. The Company’s right to suspend the use of such prospectus under clause (ii) of the preceding sentence may be exercised for a period of not more than ninety (90) days after the date of such notice to the Holders; provided such period may be extended for an additional thirty (30) days with the consent of Holders representing a
majority-in-interest
of the Registrable Securities, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided further, that such right to suspend the use of a prospectus shall be exercised by the Company not more than once

Table of Contents
in any twelve (12) month period. The Holders shall not effect any sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Resale Shelf at any time after they have received a Suspension Notice from the Company and prior to receipt of an End of Suspension Notice (as defined below). The Holders may recommence effecting sales of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Resale Shelf following further written notice to such effect (an “
End of Suspension Notice
”) from the Company to the Holders. The Company shall act in good faith to permit any suspension period contemplated by this paragraph 8 to be concluded as promptly as reasonably practicable.
9. The Holders agree that, except as required by applicable law, the Holders shall treat as confidential the receipt of any Suspension Notice (provided that in no event shall such notice contain any material nonpublic information of the Company) hereunder and shall not disclose or use the information contained in such Suspension Notice without the prior written consent of the Company until such time as the information contained therein is or becomes public, other than as a result of disclosure by a Holder of Registrable Securities in breach of the terms of this Agreement.
10. The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the Holders, their respective directors and officers, partners, members, managers, employees, agents, and representatives and each person, if any, who controls a Holder within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and any agent thereof (collectively, “
Indemnified Persons
”), to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, joint or several, costs (including reasonable costs of preparation and reasonable attorneys’ fees) and expenses, judgments, fines, penalties, interest, settlements or other amounts arising from any and all claims, demands, actions, suits or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, in which any Indemnified Person may be involved, or is threatened to be involved, as a party or otherwise, under the Securities Act or otherwise (collectively, “
Losses
”), promptly as incurred, arising out of, based upon or resulting from any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Resale Shelf (or any amendment or supplement thereto), the related prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of, are based upon or resulting from the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable in any such case or to any Indemnified Person to the extent that any such Loss arises out of, is based upon or results from an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission or so made in reliance upon or in conformity with information furnished by or on behalf of such Indemnified Person in writing specifically for use in the preparation of the Resale Shelf, the related prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Indemnified Person, and shall survive the transfer of such securities by the Purchaser.
11. The Company’s obligation under paragraph 1 of this Exhibit A is subject to each Holder’s furnishing to the Company in writing such information as the Company reasonably requests for use in connection with the Resale Shelf, the related prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto. Each Holder shall indemnify the Company, its officers, directors, managers, employees, agents and representatives, and each person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses resulting from any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in the Resale Shelf, the related prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information so furnished in writing by such Holder expressly for inclusion in such Resale Shelf, related prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto, as applicable; provided that the obligation to indemnify shall be individual, not joint and several, and shall be limited to the net amount of proceeds received by the applicable Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Resale Shelf.
12. The Company shall cooperate with the Holders, to the extent the Registrable Securities become freely tradable, to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates (not bearing any restrictive legend) representing the Registrable Securities to be offered pursuant to a Resale Shelf and enable such certificates to be in such denominations or amounts, as the case may be, as the Holders may reasonably request and registered in such names as each Holder may request.

13. If requested by Holders representing a
majority-in-interest
of the Registrable Securities, the Company shall as soon as practicable, subject to any Suspension Notice, (i) incorporate in a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such information as each Holder reasonably requests to be included therein relating to the sale and distribution of Registrable Securities, including, without limitation, information with respect to the number of Registrable Securities being offered or sold, the purchase price being paid therefor and any other terms of the offering of the Registrable Securities to be sold in such offering; (ii) make all required filings of such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment after being notified of the matters to be incorporated in such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment; and (iii) supplement or make amendments to any Registration Statement if reasonably requested by Holders representing a
majority-in-interest
of the Registrable Securities.
14. As long as Registrable Securities are outstanding, the Company, at all times while it shall be reporting under the Exchange Act, covenants to file timely (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to Sections 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, and to promptly furnish the Holders with true and complete copies of all such filings, unless filed through the SEC’s EDGAR system. The Company further covenants that it shall take such further action as the Holders may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time, to enable the Holders to sell the Class A Shares held by the Holders without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, including providing any legal opinions, to the extent such exemption is available to the Purchaser at such time. Upon the request of any Holder, the Company shall deliver to such Holder a written certification of a duly authorized officer as to whether it has complied with such requirements.

PART II
INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
Indemnification of Directors and Officers
The Cayman Islands Companies Act (2021 Revision) does not limit the extent to which a company’s memorandum and articles of association may provide for indemnification of officers and directors. However, such provision may be held by the Cayman Islands courts to be unenforceable, to the extent it seeks to indemnify or exculpate a fiduciary in respect of their actual fraud or willful default, or for the consequences of committing a crime. SVF 3’s Articles provide for indemnification of officers and directors for losses, damages, costs and expenses incurred in their capacities as such, except through their own actual fraud, willful default or willful neglect as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.
Such limitation of liability and indemnification does not affect the availability of equitable remedies. In addition, SVF 3 has been advised that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), indemnification of directors, officers or persons controlling the registrant for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.
The Registrant’s Proposed Charter and Proposed Bylaws provide that the Post-Combination Company will indemnify to the fullest extent permitted by law any person made or threatened to be made a party to an action, suit or proceeding, whether criminal, civil, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that such person or a person for whom such person is the legal representative is or was a director or officer of the Post-Combination Company or, while serving as a director or officer of the Post-Combination Company, is or was serving at the request of the Post-Combination Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan, fund, other enterprise or nonprofit entity.
The Registrant’s Proposed Bylaws provide for mandatory indemnification to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law against all expenses (including attorney’s fees), judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid in settlements.
The Registrant’s Proposed Charter eliminates the liability of a director of the Post-Combination Company to the fullest extent under applicable law. Pursuant to Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”), a corporation may eliminate the personal liability of a director to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liabilities arising (i) from any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) from acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the DGCL, or (iv) from any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
These provisions may be held not to be enforceable for certain violations of the federal securities laws of the United States.
The Registrant’s directors and executive officers are covered by insurance maintained by SVF 3 against specified liabilities for actions taken in their capacities as such, including liabilities under the Securities Act. In addition, SVF 3 has entered into contracts with its directors and executive officers providing indemnification of such directors and executive officers by SVF 3 to the fullest extent permitted by law, subject to certain limited exceptions.

Undertakings
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

A. | To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

| (i) | To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

| (ii) | To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the

| aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement.

| (iii) | To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

B. | That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

C. | To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

D. | That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

E. | That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

| (i) | Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

| (ii) | Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

| (iii) | The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

| (iv) | Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

II-5

Table of Contents

F. | That prior to any public reoffering of the securities registered hereunder through use of a prospectus which is a part of this registration statement, by any person or party who is deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of Rule 145(c), the issuer undertakes that such reoffering prospectus will contain the information called for by the applicable registration form with respect to reofferings by persons who may be deemed underwriters, in addition to the information called for by the other items of the applicable form.

G. | That every prospectus (i) that is filed pursuant to paragraph (F) immediately preceding, or (ii) that purports to meet the requirements of section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act and is used in connection with an offering of securities subject to Rule 415, will be filed as a part of an amendment to the registration statement and will not be used until such amendment is effective, and that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

H. | Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

I. | To supply by means of a post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction, and the company being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and included in the registration statement when it became effective.

J. | To respond to requests for information that is incorporated by reference into the prospectus pursuant to Items 4, 10(b), 11, or 13 of this Form, within one business day of receipt of such request, and to send the incorporated documents by first class mail or other equally prompt means. This includes information contained in documents filed subsequent to the effective date of the registration statement through the date of responding to the request.
