Overview

We are a blank check company incorporated in Delaware on July 23, 2020, for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the "Business Combination").

Our Sponsor is OTR Acquisition Sponsor LLC (the "Sponsor"), a Delaware limited liability company. The registration statement for the initial public offering ("Initial Public Offering") was declared effective on November 17, 2020. On November 19, 2020, we consummated our Initial Public Offering of 10,000,000 units (the "Units" and, with respect to the Class A ordinary shares included in the Units, the "Public Shares"), at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $100.0 million, and incurring offering costs (inclusive of the partial exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment option on November 19, 2020) of approximately $7.1 million, inclusive of $3.4 million in deferred underwriting commissions. The underwriters were granted a 45-day option from the date of the final prospectus relating to the Initial Public Offering to purchase up to 1,500,000 additional Units (the "Over-Allotment Units") to cover over-allotments, if any, at $10.00 per Unit. On November 19, 2020, the underwriters partially exercised their over-allotment option resulting in the purchase of an additional 447,350 Units, resulting in incremental gross proceeds of approximately $4.5 million. The underwriters waived their right to exercise the remaining over-allotment option on December 21, 2020.

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the private placement ("Private Placement") of 5,650,000 warrants (each, a "Private Placement Warrant" and collectively, the "Private Placement Warrants") to our Sponsor, each exercisable to purchase one share of Class A common stock at $11.50 per share, at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds to us of $5.7 million.





                                       17

In connection with the partial exercise of the underwriter's over-allotment option, our Sponsor purchased an additional 167,757 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, generating additional gross proceeds of $167,757.

Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement (including the additional Units and additional Private Placement Warrants sold in connection with the partial exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment option), $107.1 million ($10.25 per Unit) of the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement were placed in a trust account ("Trust Account") located in the United States at JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee.

If we are unable to complete an initial Business Combination within 18 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering, or May 25, 2022, 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 a trust account ("Trust Account"), including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Public Stockholders' rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining stockholders and the board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to our obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September 30, 2020, we had approximately $25,000 in our operating bank account, and working capital deficit of $169,201.

Our liquidity needs up to September 30, 2020 were satisfied through a capital contribution of $25,000 from our Sponsor to purchase the 7,187,500 shares of the Company's Class B common stock (as adjusted, the "Founder Shares"), the loan under a note agreement (the "Promissory Note") and advancement of funds from a related party of approximately $300,000 to us to cover offering costs in connection with the Initial Public Offering. Subsequent to September 30, 2020, our liquidity needs had been satisfied with the net proceeds from the consummation of the Private Placement not held in the Trust Account. We fully repaid the Promissory Note on November 19, 2020. In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with an initial Business Combination, Sponsor, an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company's officers and directors or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required ("Working Capital Loans"). To date, there were no amounts outstanding under any Working Capital Loan.

Based on the foregoing, management believes that we will have sufficient working capital and borrowing capacity to meet our needs through the earlier of the consummation of an initial Business Combination or one year from this filing. Over this time period, we will be using these funds for paying existing accounts payable, identifying and evaluating prospective initial Business Combination candidates, performing due diligence on prospective target businesses, paying for travel expenditures, selecting the target business to merge with or acquire, and structuring, negotiating and consummating the initial Business Combination.

Management continues to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and has concluded that the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of these financial statements. The financial statement does not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Results of Operations

Our entire activity since inception up to September 30, 2020 was in preparation for our Initial Public Offering. We will not generate any operating revenues until the closing and completion of our initial Business Combination, at the earliest.

For the period from July 23, 2020 (inception) through September 30, 2020, we had a net loss of $10,679.

Commitments and Contractual Obligations





Registration Rights

The holders of Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans, if any (and any shares of Class A common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans and upon conversion of the Founder Shares), are entitled to certain registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement. These holders will be entitled to certain demand and "piggyback" registration rights. We will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.





Underwriting Agreement

The underwriters were entitled to an underwriting discount of $0.125 per unit, or $1.31 million in the aggregate (reflecting the partial exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option), paid at the closing of the Initial Public Offering. $0.325 per unit, or $3.4 million in the aggregate (reflecting the partial exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option), 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 an initial Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

Critical Accounting Policies

Deferred Offering Costs Associated with the Initial Public Offering

Deferred offering costs consisted of legal, accounting, underwriting fees and other costs incurred through the balance sheet date that were directly related to the Initial Public Offering and that were charged to stockholders' equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering in November 2020.





Net Loss Per Common Share

We comply with accounting and disclosure requirements of Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standard Codification, or FASB ASC, Topic 260, "Earnings Per Share." Net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, excluding common stock subject to forfeiture. Weighted average shares at September 30, 2020 were reduced to reflect that an aggregate of 263,162 shares of common stock were subject to forfeiture if the over-allotment option was not exercised in full or in part by the underwriters following the partial exercise of the over-allotment option on December 19, 2020. The 263,162 shares were subsequently forfeited following underwriters' waiver of the outstanding over-allotment option on December 21, 2020. As of September 30, 2020, the Company did not have any dilutive securities and other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into shares of common stock and then share in the earnings of the Company. As a result, diluted loss per share of common share is the same as basic loss per share of common stock for the period presented.





                                       19

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of September 30, 2020, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K.





JOBS Act

The Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (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, the 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 our Initial Public Offering or until we are no longer an "emerging growth company," whichever is earlier.
