On August 6, 2020, the Company formally changed its name to Apollo Strategic Growth Capital.~~

At September 30, 2020, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from January 1, 2018 through September 30, 2020 relates to the Company’s formation and the initial public offering (the “~~Initial Public Offering~~”) described below. On October 6, 2020, the Company closed its Initial Public Offering (See Note 3 and Note 7). The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after 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 net proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering.~~

~~Sponsor and Financing~~

~~The Company’s sponsor is APSG Sponsor, L.P., a Cayman Islands limited partnership (the “~~~~Sponsor~~”). The Company intends to finance its Initial Business Combination with proceeds from the $750,000,000 Initial Public Offering of Units (as defined in Note 3 below) and the $17,000,000 private placement (Note 4). Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering and the private placement on October 6, 2020, $750,000,000 was placed in a trust account (the “~~Trust Account~~”) (discussed below). As of the date of this filing, the underwriters have yet to exercise their over-allotment option. On November 10, 2020, the Company consummated the sale of Over-Allotment Units pursuant to the underwriters' partial exercise of their over-allotment option. See Note 7.

~~Trust Account~~

The proceeds held in the Trust Account will be invested only in U.S. government securities with a maturity of 180 days or less or in money market funds that meet certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and that invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations, as determined by the Company. Funds will remain in the Trust Account until the earlier of (i) the consummation of the Initial Business Combination or (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account proceeds as described below. The remaining proceeds outside the Trust Account may be used to pay for business, legal and accounting due diligence on prospective acquisitions and continuing general and administrative expenses.Agreement. Upon closing of the ~~Initial Public Offering~~Business Combination, APSG was renamed as “Global Business Travel Group, Inc.” and GBT JerseyCo became a direct subsidiary of GBTG. GBTG is a Delaware corporation and tax resident in the United States of America (“U.S.”). GBTG conducts its business through GBT JerseyCo in an umbrella partnership-C corporation structure (“Up-C structure”), which is tax resident in the United Kingdom (“U.K.”).

The Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization. Accordingly, no assets or liabilities were measured at fair value, and no goodwill or other intangible assets were recognized as a result of the Business Combination (see note 6 - Reverse Recapitalization).

GBT JerseyCo was incorporated on ~~October 6,~~November 28, 2019 under the Companies (Jersey) Law 1991 and prior to the Business Combination operated as a joint venture with American Express Travel Holdings Netherlands Coöperatief U.A. (“Amex Coop”), a resident of the Netherlands, Juweel Investors (SPC) Limited (a successor entity of Juweel Investors Limited) (“Juweel”), a resident of Cayman Islands and EG Corporate Travel Holdings LLC (“Expedia”) (collectively, with Amex Coop and Juweel the “Continuing JerseyCo Owners”).

The Company has 1 reportable segment.

Impact of COVID-19

Since March 2020, the ~~proceeds~~outbreak of the ~~Initial Public Offering~~novel strain of ~~$750,000,000 were held~~the coronavirus, COVID-19 (“COVID-19”) severely restricted the level of economic activity around the world and had an unprecedented effect on the global travel industry. Government measures implemented to contain the spread of COVID-19, such as imposing restrictions on travel and business operations and advising or requiring individuals to limit or forgo time outside of their homes, limited business travel significantly below 2019 levels.

While many countries have vaccinated a reasonable proportion of their population, the rate and pace of vaccination globally, the severity and duration of resurgence, as well as uncertainty over the efficacy of the vaccines against new variants of the virus, may contribute to delays in economic recovery. Overall, the ultimate impact and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic remains uncertain and will depend upon future developments, which are difficult to predict.

However, with the spread of the virus now being contained to varying degrees in certain countries during different times, travel restrictions have been lifted and clients have become more comfortable traveling, particularly to domestic locations. This has led to a moderation of the more severe declines in business travel bookings experienced at certain points since the pandemic began. Despite the continued negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s business, the Company has seen improvement in its transaction volume starting the second half of 2021 and continuing into the first half of 2022 as COVID-19 vaccines continued to be administered and some travel restrictions relaxed. The global travel activity has since shown a recovery trend, but remained below 2019 levels. The Company incurred a net loss of $93 million and had cash outflows from operations of $309 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to a net loss of $169 million and ~~subsequently invested in U.S. government securities, as specified above.~~cash outflows from operations of $236 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

The Company believes its liquidity is important given limited ability to predict its future financial performance due to the uncertainty associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. Since March 2020, the Company has taken several measures to preserve its liquidity, including initiating a business response plan to the COVID-19 pandemic (voluntary and involuntary redundancies, flexible workings, mandatory pay reductions, consolidating facilities, etc.), entered into several financial transactions, including several debt financing / refinancing transactions and the recent consummation of the Business Combination and continues to explore other capital market transactions to improve liquidity and/or expand its business operations.

Based on the financial mitigation measures taken and available funding capacity, along with cash from its operations, the Company believes it has adequate liquidity to meet the future operating, investing and financing needs of the business for a minimum period of twelve months.

Basis of Presentation

The Company’s ~~amended~~consolidated financial statements include the accounts of GBTG, GBT JerseyCo’s wholly- owned subsidiaries and ~~restated memorandum and articles of association provides that, other than the withdrawal of interest to pay its tax obligations (the “~~~~Permitted Withdrawals~~”), and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses none of the funds held in the Trust Account will be released until the earliest of: (i) the completion of the Initial Business Combination; (ii) the redemption of any Class A ordinary shares included in the Units (the “~~Public Shares~~~~”) sold in the Initial Public Offering~~entities controlled by GBTG. There are no entities that have been ~~properly tendered~~consolidated due to control through operating agreements, financing agreements or as the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. The Company reports the non-controlling ownership interests in ~~connection with a shareholder vote~~subsidiaries that are held by third-party owners as equity attributable to ~~amend~~non-controlling interests in subsidiaries on the ~~Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles~~consolidated balance sheets. The portion of ~~association~~income or loss attributable to ~~affect~~third-party owners for the ~~substance or timing~~reporting periods is reported as net income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interests in subsidiaries on the consolidated statements of its obligation to redeem 100% of such Public Shares if it has not consummated an Initial Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering, or 27 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering if theoperations. The Company has ~~executed a letter of intent, agreement~~eliminated intercompany transactions and balances in ~~principle or definitive agreement for an Initial Business Combination within 24 months from~~its consolidated financial statements.

For the ~~closing of the Initial Public Offering but have not completed the Initial Business Combination within such 24-month period (the “~~~~Completion Window~~”); or (iii) the redemption of 100% of the Public Shares if the Company is unable to complete an Initial Business Combination within the Completion Window. The proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could become subject to the claims of the Company’s creditors, if any, which could have priority over the claims of the Company’s public shareholders.

~~Initial Business Combination~~

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering, although substantially all of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering are intended to be generally applied toward consummating an Initial Business Combination. The Initial Business Combination must occur with one or more target businesses that together have a fair market value of at least 80% of the assets held in the Trust Account (excluding the deferred underwriting discounts and commissions and taxes payable on interest earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the agreement to enter into the Initial Business Combination. Furthermore, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect an Initial Business Combination.

The Company, after signing a definitive agreement for an Initial Business Combination, will either (i) seek shareholder approval of the Initial Business Combination at a meeting called for such purpose in connection with which shareholders may seek to redeem their Public Shares, regardless of whether they vote for or against the Initial Business Combination, for cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business daysperiods prior to the consummation of the Initial Business Combination, including interest not previously released to the Company to pay its franchise and income taxes, or (ii) provide shareholders with the opportunity to sell their Public Shares to the Company by means of a tender offer (and thereby avoid the need for a shareholder vote) for an amount in cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Initial Business Combination, including interest not previously released to the Company to pay its franchise and income taxes. The decision as to whether the Company will seek shareholder approval of the Initial Business Combination or will allow shareholders to sell their Public Shares in a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion, and will be based on a variety of factors such as the timing of the transaction and whether the terms of the transaction would otherwise require the Company to seek shareholder approval, unless a vote is required by law or under NYSE rules. If the Company seeks shareholder approval, it will complete its Initial Business Combination only if a majority of the outstanding ordinary shares voted are voted in favor of the Initial Business Combination. However, in no event will the Company redeem its Public Shares in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001. In such case, the Company would not proceed with the redemption of its Public Shares and the related Initial Business Combination, and instead may search for an alternate Initial Business Combination.

If the Company holds a shareholder vote or there is a tender offer for shares in connection with an Initial Business Combination, a shareholder will have the right to redeem his, her or its Public Shares for an amount in cash equal to his, her or its pro rata share of the aggregate amount on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Initial Business Combination, including interest not previously released to make Permitted Withdrawals. As a result, such Public Shares are recorded at redemption amount and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering, in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“~~FASB~~~~”) Accounting Standards Codification (“~~~~ASC~~~~”) 480, “~~~~Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity~~.”

Pursuant to the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, if the Company is unable to complete the Initial Business Combination within the Completion Window, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but no more than ten business days thereafter subject to lawfully available funds therefor, 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 make Permitted Withdrawals (less up to $100,000 of such net interest to pay dissolution expenses and net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining shareholders and the Company’s board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. The Sponsor and the Company’s officers and directors have entered into a letter agreement with the Company, pursuant to which they have agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Founder Shares (as defined below) held by them if the Company fails to complete the Initial Business Combination within the Completion Window. However, if the Sponsor or any of the Company’s directors, officers or affiliates acquires Class A ordinary shares in or after the Initial Public Offering, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such shares if the Company fails to complete the Initial Business Combination within the prescribed time period.

~~In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company after an Initial~~ Business Combination, the Company’s shareholders are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining available for distribution to them after payment of liabilities and after provision is made for each class of ordinary share, if any, having preference over the ordinary shares. The Company’s shareholders have no preemptive or other subscription rights. There are no sinking fund provisions applicable to the ordinary shares, except that the Company will provide its shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares for cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, upon the completion of the Initial Business Combination, subject to the limitations described herein.

~~2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies~~

~~Basis of Presentation~~

~~The accompanying unaudited condensed interim~~consolidated financial statements of the Company ~~are presented~~comprise the accounts of GBT JerseyCo and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions among GBT JerseyCo and its consolidated subsidiaries were eliminated.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in ~~U.S. dollars in conformity~~accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial reporting. As such, certain notes or other information that are normally required by U.S. GAAP”) have been omitted if they substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the Company’s annual audited consolidated financial statements. These interim unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and ~~pursuant to~~related notes for the ~~accounting~~year ended December 31, 2021, which are included in the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 as originally filed on June 21, 2022, and ~~disclosure rules and regulations of the SEC, and reflect~~declared effective on August 5, 2022 (“Registration Statement”). The Company has included all ~~adjustments, consisting only of~~ normal recurring items and adjustments ~~which are, in the opinion of management,~~ necessary for a fair presentation of the ~~financial position as of September 30, 2020 and the~~ results of ~~operations and cash flows for~~ the ~~periods presented. Certain information and disclosures normally included in~~interim period. The Company’s interim unaudited consolidated financial statements ~~prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020,~~ are not necessarily indicative of ~~the~~ results that may be expected for ~~the year ending December 31, 2020.~~

~~Emerging Growth Company~~

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 toany other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, 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~~interim period or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “~~Exchange Act~~”)) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

~~Liquidity and Capital Resources~~

As of October 6, 2020, due to the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, the Company had investments held in the Trust Account of $750,000,000 consisting of cash and subsequently invested in U.S. government securities. Interest income on the balance in the Trust Account may be used by the Company to pay taxes, and to pay up to $100,000 of any dissolution expenses.

As of September 30, 2020, the Company does not have sufficient liquidity to meet its anticipated obligations over the next year from the date of issuance of these financial statements. In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Accounting Standards Update (“~~ASU~~~~”) 2014-15, “~~~~Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern~~,” management has determined that the Company has access to funds from the Sponsor that are sufficient to fund the working capital needs of the Company until a potential business combination or one year from the date of issuance of these financial statements. On October 20, 2020, the Sponsor executed a second promissory note (the “~~October Note~~”) with a principal amount of $1,500,000. The October Note bears interest at a rate of 0.14% per annum and is payable on the earlier of an Initial Business Combination or the liquidation of the Company. On October 20, 2020, the Company borrowed $1,500,000 pursuant to the October Note. Upon closing of the Initial Public Offering on October 6, 2020, the Company had investments held in the Trust Account of $750,000,000 consisting of cash and subsequently invested in U.S. government securities. Interest income on the balance in the Trust Account may be used by the Company to pay taxes, and to pay up to $100,000 of any dissolution expenses.

The Company intends to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account, excluding the deferred underwriting commissions, to complete its Initial Business Combination. To the extent that capital stock or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete the Initial Business Combination, the remaining proceeds held in the Trust Account will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business or businesses, make other acquisitions and pursue growth strategies. If an Initial Business Combination agreement requires the Company to use a portion of the cash in the Trust Account to pay the purchase price, or requires the Company to have a minimum amount of cash at closing, the Company will need to reserve a portion of the cash in the Trust Account to meet such requirements, or arrange for third-party financing.

The Company has until October 6, 2022 to complete an Initial Business Combination. If the Company is unable to complete an Initial Business Combination by October 6, 2022, 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, and subject to having lawfully available funds therefor, 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 trust account deposits (which interest shall be net of taxes payable and less up to $100,000 to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then-outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish the public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law; and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining shareholders and the Company’s board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Cayman Islands’ law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.full year.

The underwriters have agreed to waive their rights to their deferred underwriting commissions held in the trust account in the event the Company does not complete an Initial Business Combination by October 6, 2022 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 public shares.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of ~~the~~consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires ~~the Company’s management to make~~ estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and ~~disclosure of contingent assets~~expenses, and ~~liabilities at~~related disclosures in the ~~date of the~~consolidated financial statements and ~~the reported amounts~~accompanying notes. Estimates are used for, but not limited to, supplier revenue, collectability of ~~expenses during the reporting periods.~~receivables, depreciable lives of property and equipment, acquisition purchase price allocations including valuation of acquired intangible assets and goodwill, equity-based compensation, valuation of operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, impairment of goodwill, other intangible assets, long-lived assets and investments in equity method investments, valuation allowances on deferred income taxes, valuation of pensions, interest rate swaps, warrants and Earnout Shares (discussed below) and contingencies. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

The COVID-19 pandemic has created and may continue to create significant uncertainty in macroeconomic conditions, which may cause further business disruptions and adversely impact the Company’s results of operations. As a result, many of the Company’s estimates and assumptions require increased judgment. As events continue to evolve and additional information becomes available, the Company’s estimates may change materially in future periods.

Warrant Instruments and Earnout Shares Liabilities

~~Financial instruments~~The Company accounts for its (i) public and privately issued warrants (see note 14 – Warrants) and (ii) substantially all of the Earnout Shares (see note 15 – Earnout Shares) in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging,” (“ASC 815”) whereby under that ~~potentially subject~~provision the warrants and Earnout Shares do not meet the criteria for equity treatment and are recorded as liabilities. Accordingly, the Company classifies the warrants and Earnout Shares as liabilities at fair value and adjusts the instruments to ~~concentration~~fair value at each reporting period. The Company remeasures the warrant liability and Earnout Shares liability at each balance sheet date and any change in the fair value is recognized in the Company’s consolidated statement of ~~credit risk consist~~operations. These liabilities will be remeasured until the warrants are exercised or expire or until Earnout Shares are no longer contingent.

The fair value of ~~cash accounts~~warrants are determined using a market price for the public warrants and Black-Scholes model for the private warrants. The Black-Scholes model utilizes inputs and other assumptions and may not be reflective of the price at which they can be settled. The balance sheet classification of warrant liability is also subject to re-evaluation at each reporting period. As of June 30, 2022, the public warrants were valued using the publicly available price for such warrants and were categorized as level 1 on the fair value hierarchy. As of June 30, 2022, the Company utilized a Black-Scholes model to value the private warrants and categorized such warrants as level 3 on the fair value hierarchy (see note 20 – Fair Value Measurements).

The fair value of Earnout Shares was determined using Monte Carlo valuation method and were categorized as level 3 on the fair value hierarchy (see note 20 – Fair Value Measurements).

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Income Taxes

In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2019-12, “Income taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes” that amends the guidance to simplify accounting for income taxes, including elimination of certain exceptions in current guidance related to the approach for intra-period tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period, and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences, ownership changes in investments (changes from a subsidiary to equity method investments and vice versa), etc. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2022 and there was no material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial ~~institution~~statements upon the adoption of this guidance.

Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options

In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-04, “Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options” which ~~at times, may exceed~~provides a principles-based framework for issuers to account for a modification or exchange of freestanding equity-classified written call options.

If other accounting principles are not applicable, the guidance clarifies whether to account for the modification or exchange as (1) an adjustment to equity, with the related earnings per share implications, or (2) an expense, and if so, the manner and pattern of recognition. The accounting depends on the substance of the transaction, such as whether the modification or exchange is the result of raising equity, a financing transaction, or some other event. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2022 and there was no material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements upon the adoption of this guidance.

Disclosures about Government Assistance

In November 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-10, “Disclosures by Business Entities about Government Assistance” which provides for disclosures by business entities about government assistance. The amendments in this update require disclosures about transactions with a government that have been accounted for by analogizing to a grant or contribution accounting model to increase transparency about (1) the nature and types of transactions, (2) the accounting for the transactions, and (3) the effect of the transactions on an entity’s financial statements. The guidance is effective for the Company for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021, with early application permitted, and can be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2022 and there was no material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements upon the adoption of this guidance.

Governments of multiple countries extended several programs to help businesses during the COVID-19 pandemic through loans, wage subsidies, tax relief or deferrals and other financial aid. The Company has ~~not experienced losses on~~participated in several of these ~~accounts and management believes~~government programs. A substantial portion of these government support payments were to ensure that the Company continues to pay and maintain the employees on its payroll and does not make them redundant as the demand for travel services significantly reduced due to the COVID -19 pandemic. During the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company recognized in its consolidated statements of operations government grants and other assistance benefits for salaries and wages (mainly furlough support payments) of $1 million and $17 million, respectively, as a reduction of expenses. During the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company recognized in its consolidated statements of operations government grants and other assistance benefits for salaries and wages (mainly furlough support payments) of $7 million and $43 million, respectively, as a reduction of expenses. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had a receivable of $0 and $6 million, respectively, in relation to such government grants, that is ~~not exposed~~included in the accounts receivable balance in the consolidated balance sheets. These relate to ~~significant risks~~payments that are expected to be received under the government programs where the Company has met the qualifying requirements and it is probable that payments will be received.

Credit Losses

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on ~~such accounts.~~Financial Instruments”, a new guidance on the measurement of credit losses for financial assets measured at amortized cost, which includes accounts receivable. The new guidance replaces the existing incurred loss impairment model with an expected loss methodology, which will result in more timely recognition of credit losses. The adoption date of this guidance was subsequently deferred by one year and is now effective for the Company for annual periods commencing with fiscal year 2023, including each interim period therein. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of the guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

Reference rate reforms

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting.” This ASU provides expedients and exceptions to existing guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting that is optional to facilitate the market transition from a reference rate, including the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform, to a new reference rate. The provisions of this ASU would impact contract modifications and other changes that occur while LIBOR is phased out. The guidance is effective upon issuance and generally can be applied to applicable contract modifications through December 31, 2022. The Company is in the process of evaluating the optional relief guidance provided within this ASU and is also reviewing its debt and hedging instruments that utilize LIBOR as the reference rate. The Company will continue to evaluate and monitor developments and its assessment of this guidance during the LIBOR transition period.

Contracts with Customers Acquired in a Business Combination

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-08, “Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers” to add contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination to the list of exceptions to the recognition and measurement principles that apply to business combinations and to require that an entity (acquirer) recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with the revenue recognition guidance. This updated guidance amends the current business combination guidance where an acquirer generally recognizes such items at fair value on the acquisition date. The guidance is effective for the Company commencing with fiscal year 2023, including each interim period therein, and is to be applied prospectively to all business combinations that occur on or after the date of initial application. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of the guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, GBTG’s income tax benefit was $73 million and $95 million, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 was 56% and 37%, respectively, primarily due to the change in U.K.’s enacted tax rates from 19% to 25%, in the second quarter of 2021, and which becomes effective from April 2023. As a “~~Warrant~~”result of change in the enacted tax rate, the deferred tax assets and ~~collectively,~~liabilities were remeasured in the “second quarter of 2021, that resulted in recognition of additional deferred tax benefit of $35 million.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

The Company granted the underwriters a 45-day option expiring on November 15, 2020 to purchase up to 11,250,000 additional Units to cover any over-allotments at the Initial Public Offering price less the underwriting discounts and commissions. The Units that will be issued in connection with the exercise of the over-allotment optionprivate warrants are identical to the Units issued in the Initial Public Offering. On November 10, 2020, the Company consummated the sale of Over-Allotment Units pursuant to the underwriters' partial exercise of their over-allotment option. See Note 7.

The Company paid an underwriting discount of 2.0% of the per Unit offering price, or $15,000,000 in the aggregate, to the underwriters at the closing of the Initial Public Offering, with an additional fee (the “~~Deferred Discount~~”) of 3.5% of the gross offering proceeds, or $26,250,000, payable upon the Company’s completion of an Initial Business Combination. The Deferred Discount will become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event the Company completes its Initial Business Combination.

~~4. Related Party Transactions~~

~~Founder Shares~~

~~In October 2008, the Company was formed by Apollo Principal Holdings III, L.P. (“~~~~Holdings~~”), at which point, one ordinary share was issued in exchange for the payment of operating and formation expenses of the Company. In August 2020, Holdings transferred its ownership in the Company, consisting of one ordinary share, to the Sponsor for no consideration. On August 6, 2020, the Company completed a share split of its ordinary shares and, as a result, 28,750,000 of the Company’s Class B ordinary shares were outstanding (the “~~Founder Shares~~”). On September 16, 2020, the Sponsor surrendered 7,187,500 ordinary shares, thereby effecting a 1.33333:1 share recapitalization, and, as a result, 21,562,500 of the Company's Founder Shares were outstanding. The share amounts have been retroactively restated to account for the share split. The initial shareholders have agreed to forfeit up to 2,812,500 Class B ordinary shares to the extent that the over-allotment option is not exercised in full by the underwriters. The forfeiture will be adjusted to the extent that the over-allotment option is not exercised in full by the underwriters so that the Founder Shares will represent 20.0% of the Company's issued and outstanding shares after the Initial Public Offering.

~~The Founder Shares are identical to the Class A ordinary shares included in the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering~~public warrants except that the Founder Shares are Class B ordinary shares which automatically convert into Class A ordinary shares at the time of the Company’s Initial Business Combination and are subject to certain transfer restrictions, as described in more detail below. The number of Founder Shares issued in the share split was determined based on the expectation that the total size of the Initial Public Offering would be a maximum of 86,250,000 Units if the underwriters’ over-allotment option was exercised in full, and therefore that such Founder Shares would represent 20% of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares after the Initial Public Offering. If the Company increases or decreases the size of the Initial Public Offering, the Company will effect a share dividend or share contribution (or other similar action) back to capital, as applicable, immediately prior to the completion of the Initial Public Offering in such amount as to maintain the Founder Shares at a number equal to 20% of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares after the Initial Public Offering.

The holders of the Founder Shares agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of: (A) one year after the completion of the Initial Business Combination or (B) subsequent to the Initial Business Combination, (x) if the last sale price of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share dividends, 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 Company’s shareholders having the right to exchange their ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property.

In September 2020, 25,000 Founder Shares were transferred to each of the Company’s three independent directors at a purchase price of $0.00087 per share. The independent directors paid $65.25 in the aggregate for the 75,000 shares to the Sponsor.

~~Private Placement~~

~~Concurrently with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 11,333,334 Warrants (the “~~~~Private Placement Warrants~~~~”) at a price of $1.50 per whole warrant ($17,000,000 million in the aggregate) in a~~ private placement. Each whole Private Placement Warrant is exercisable for one whole share of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares at a price of $11.50 per share. A portion of the purchase price of the Private Placement Warrants was added to the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account. If the Initial Business Combination is not completed within 24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants held in the Trust Accountwarrants will be used to fund the redemption of the Public Shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law) and the Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless. The Private Placement Warrants will be non-redeemable and exercisable on a cashless basis so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees.

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 Warrants until 30 days after the completion of the Initial Business Combination.

~~Related Party Loans~~

~~On August 11, 2020, the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company an aggregate of up to $750,000 to cover expenses related to the Initial Public Offering pursuant to an unsecured promissory note (the “~~~~Note~~”). This Note bears interest at a rate of 0.17% per annum and is payable on the earlier of March 31, 2021 or the closing date of the Initial Public Offering. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had not borrowed on the Note. Upon the close of the Initial Public Offering on October 6, 2020, the Note expired.

~~On October 20, 2020, the Sponsor executed a second promissory note (the “~~~~October Note~~”) to loan the Company an aggregate principal amount of $1,500,000. The October Note bears interest at a rate of 0.14% per annum and is payable on the earlier of an Initial Business Combination or the liquidation of the Company. On October 20, 2020, the Company borrowed $1,500,000 pursuant to the October Note.

~~Advances from Related Parties~~

Affiliates of the Sponsor paid certain formation, operating and offering costs on behalf of the Company. These advances are due on demand and are non-interest bearing. For the period from October 10, 2008 (inception) through September 30, 2020, the related parties paid $355,910 of offering costs and other expenses on behalf of the Company. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, there was $355,910 and $0 due to the related parties, respectively.

~~Administrative Support Agreement~~

Commencing on the date the Units were first listed on the NYSE, the Company has agreed to pay the Sponsor a total of $16,667 per month for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support for up to 27 months. Upon completion of the Initial Business Combination or the Company’s liquidation, the Company will cease paying these monthly fees.

~~5. Commitments and Contingencies~~

~~Registration Rights~~

The holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and Warrants that may be issued upon conversion of working capital loans, if any, (and any Class A ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants and Warrants that may be issued upon conversion of working capital loans) will be entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement signed on the effective date of the Initial Public Offering. The holders of these securities are entitled to demand that the Company register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the consummation of an Initial Business Combination. However, the registration rights agreement provides that the Company will not permit any registration statement filed under the Securities Act to become effective until termination of the applicable lock-up period. 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 expiring on November 15, 2020 to purchase up to 11,250,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments, if any, at the Initial Public Offering price less the underwriting discounts and commissions. On November 10, 2020, the Company consummated the sale of Over-Allotment Units pursuant to the underwriters' partial exercise of their over-allotment option. See Note 7.

The underwriters are entitled to a deferred fee of $0.35 per Unit, or $26,250,000 (or $30,187,500 if the over-allotment option is exercised in full) in the aggregate. 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.

~~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 financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

~~6. Shareholder’s Equity~~

~~Preferred Shares~~

The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 preferred shares with a par value of $0.00005 per share with such designations, voting and other rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Company’s board of directors. At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 there were no preferred shares issued or outstanding.

~~Ordinary Shares~~

The authorized ordinary shares of the Company include up to 300,000,000 Class A ordinary shares and 60,000,000 Class B ordinary shares. If the Company enters into an Initial Business Combination, it may (depending on the terms of such an Initial Business Combination) be required to increase the number of Class A ordinary shares which the Company is authorized to issue at the same time as the Company’s shareholders vote on the Initial Business Combination to the extent the Company seeks shareholder approval in connection with the Initial Business Combination. Holders of the Company’s ordinary shares are entitled to one vote for each ordinary share.

The Class B ordinary shares will automatically convert into Class A ordinary shares at the time of completion of an Initial Business Combination on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like and subject to further adjustment as provided herein. In the case that additional Class A ordinary shares, or equity-linked securities, are issued or deemed issued in excess of the amounts sold in the Initial Public Offering and related to the closing of the Initial Business Combination, the ratio at which Class B ordinary shares will convert into Class A ordinary shares will be adjusted (unless the holders of a majority of the outstanding Class B ordinary shares agree to waive such adjustment with respect to any such issuance or deemed issuance) so that the number of Class A ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of all Class B ordinary shares will equal, in the aggregate, on an as-converted basis, 20% of the sum of the total number of all ordinary shares outstanding upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering plus all Class A ordinary shares and equity-linked securities issued or deemed issued in connection with the Initail Business Combination (excluding any shares or equity-linked securities issued, or to be issued, to any seller in the Initial Business Combination). As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, there were 21,562,500 Class B ordinary shares issued and outstanding. Of the 21,562,500 Class B ordinary shares outstanding, up to 2,812,500 Class B ordinary shares are subject to forfeiture to the Company by the initial shareholders for no consideration to the extent that the underwriters' over-allotment option is not exercised in full or in part, so that the number of Class B ordinary shares will collectively equal 20% of the Company's issued and outstanding ordinary shares after the Initial Public Offering.

~~Warrants~~

Public Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares. No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the Public Warrants. The Public Warrants will become exercisable on the later of (a) 30 days after the completion of an Initial Business Combination or (b) 12 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering; provided in each case that the Company has an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants and a current prospectus relating to them is available (or the Company permits holders to exercise their Public Warrants on a cashless basis and such cashless exercise is exempt from registration under the Securities Act). The Company has agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15 business days after the closing of an Initial Business Combination, the Company will use its best efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement for the registration, under the Securities Act, of the ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants. The Company will use its best efforts to cause the same to become effective and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement, and a current prospectus relating thereto, until the expiration of the Public Warrants in accordance with the provisions of the warrant agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company’s ordinary shares are at the time of any exercise of a warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that it satisfies the definition of a “covered security” under the Securities Act, the Company, at its option, may require holders of Public Warrants who exercise their warrants to do so on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event the Company so elects, the Company will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement. The Public Warrants will expire five years after the completion of an Initial Business Combination or earlier upon the Company’s redemption or liquidation.

The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants, except that the Private Placement Warrants and the ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants will not be transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of an Initial Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions. Additionally, the Private Placement Warrants are non-redeemable so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or such purchasers’ permitted transferees. If the ~~Private Placement Warrants~~private warrants are held by someone other than the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, the ~~Private Placement Warrants~~private warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the ~~Public Warrants.~~

The Company may redeem the ~~Public Warrants:~~public warrants:

~~in whole and not in part;~~

●

if, and only if, the Reference Value equals or exceeds $10.00 per share (as adjusted);

If the Company calls the ~~Public Warrants~~public warrants for redemption, management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise the ~~Public Warrants~~public warrants to do so on a “cashless basis,” as described in the warrant agreement.

The exercise price and number of the ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the ~~Warrants~~warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a share dividend, or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, the ~~Warrants~~warrants will not be adjusted for issuance of ordinary shares at a price below its exercise price. Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the ~~Warrants.~~warrants.

Warrant holders do not have the rights or privileges of holders of Class A common stock and any voting rights until they exercise their warrants and receive shares of Class A common stock. After the issuance of shares of Class A common stock upon exercise of the warrants, each holder will be entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters to be voted on by stockholders.

The Company accounts for public and private warrants under ASC 815. Such guidance provides that because the warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment thereunder, each warrant must be recorded as a liability. This liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date. With each such re-measurement, the warrant liability will be adjusted to fair value, with the change in fair value recognized in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. The Company will reassess the classification of warrants at each balance sheet date. If the classification changes as a result of events during the period, the warrants will be reclassified as of the date of the event that causes the reclassification.

As of May 27, 2022, the initial fair value of the warrant liability was recognized at $57 million with a corresponding reduction from the additional paid-in capital in total stockholders’ equity. As of June 30, 2022 the fair value of the warrant liability was estimated to be $44 million. The Company recognized a gain on the fair value change in warrant liability of $13 million in its consolidated statement of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.

(15) Earnout Shares

As part of the reverse recapitalization transaction, certain stockholders and employees are entitled to additional consideration in the form of “Earnout Shares” of the Company’s Class A common stock (and Class B common stock, with equal number of B ordinary shares of GBT JerseyCo, where the Earnout Shares have been given to certain stockholders) to be issued when the Company’s Class A common stock’s price achieves certain market share price milestones within specified periods following the reverse recapitalization transaction on May 27, 2022. These shares will be issued in tranches based on the following conditions:

(1)

If the volume-weighted average share price (“VWAP”) of the Company’s Class A common stock equals or exceeds $12.50 per share for any 20 trading days within any consecutive 30-trading day period prior to the five-year anniversary from May 27, 2022, then the Company is required to issue Class A common stock to the holders with the contingent right to receive approximately 50% of the Earnout Shares. These Earnout Shares may instead be issued in the event of a change of control (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) prior to the five-year anniversary of the closing date if the per share consideration in such transaction is at least $12.50.

(2)

If the VWAP of the Company’s Class A common stock equals or exceeds $15.00 per share for any 20 trading days within any consecutive 30-trading day period prior to the five-year anniversary from May 27, 2022, then the Company is required to issue Class A common stock to the holders with the contingent right to receive the remainder of the Earnout Shares. These Earnout Shares may instead be issued in the event of a change of control (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) prior to the five-year anniversary of the closing date if the per share consideration in such transaction is at least $15.00.

If the stock price thresholds mentioned above are not achieved during the five-year period from the reverse recapitalization date (assuming there is ~~unable~~no change in control event), the Earnout Shares are forfeited for no additional consideration.

The Earnout Shares to ~~complete an Initial Business Combination within~~employees are linked to the ~~Completion Window and~~conditions of the GBTG MIP Options. As a result, the Company ~~liquidates~~has accounted for such Earnout Shares as stock-based compensation under ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”), and recognized an expense of $2 million during the ~~funds held~~three and six months ended June 30, 2022 in its consolidated statement of operations.

The Earnout Shares to stockholders are accounted under ASC 815. Such guidance provides that because the Earnout Shares do not meet the criteria for equity treatment thereunder, Earnout Shares must be recorded as a liability. This liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date. With each such re-measurement, the Earnout Shares liability will be adjusted to fair value, with the change in fair value recognized in the ~~Trust Account, holders~~Company’s consolidated statements of ~~Warrants~~operations.

The fair value of the Earnout Shares was estimated using the Monte Carlo simulation of the stock prices based on historical and implied market volatility of a peer group of public companies.

As of May 27, 2022, the initial fair value of the Earnout Shares liability was recognized at $100 million with a corresponding reduction from the additional paid-in capital in total stockholders’ equity. As of June 30, 2022 the fair value of the Earnout Shares liability was estimated to be $77 million. The Company recognized a gain on the fair value change in Earnout Shares liability of $23 million in its consolidated statement of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.

(16) Equity-Based Compensation

2022 Equity Incentive Plan

In May 2022, GBTG stockholders approved the Global Business Travel Group, Inc. 2022 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2022 Plan”) under which, a maximum of approximately 48 million total shares of Class A common stock are available for issuance which is also the maximum number of shares that may be issued in respect of incentive stock options (“Share Reserve”). Under the 2022 Plan, GBTG may issue options, stock appreciation rights, restricted and performance stock, restricted stock units or performance stock units, or other awards that are payable in, or valued in, in whole or part by reference to GBTG shares. The 2022 Share Reserve will also be increased by the number of shares underlying the portion of an award granted under the GBTG MIP (as defined below) that is cancelled, terminated or forfeited or lapses after the effective date of the 2022 Plan. Shares issued by GBTG in connection with the assumption or substitution of outstanding grants or under certain stockholder approved plans from an acquired company will not ~~receive~~reduce the number of shares available for awards under the 2022 Plan. Shares underlying the portion of an award that is forfeited or otherwise terminated for any reason whatsoever, in any case, without the issuance of ~~such funds with respect~~shares, will be added back to ~~their Warrants, nor will they receive any distribution from~~ the ~~Company’s assets held outside~~number of shares available for grant under the 2022 Plan. Shares issued under the 2022 Plan may, at the election of the ~~Trust Account~~board of directors GBTG (the “GBTG Board”), be (i) authorized but previously unissued or (ii) previously issued and outstanding and reacquired by GBTG.

As of June 30, 2022, 0 awards were granted under the 2022 Plan.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

In May 2022, GBTG stockholders approved the Global Business Travel Group, Inc. Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”) under which a maximum of approximately 11 million shares (the “ESPP Cap”) are initially available for purchase under the ESPP. An employee can start contributing toward the ESPP commencing January 1, 2023. On January 1 of each year during which the ESPP is in effect, the number of shares available for purchase under the ESPP will be automatically increased by the lesser of (x) the ESPP Cap, (y) 1% of the number of shares of all common stock outstanding as of the immediately preceding December 31 (calculated on a fully diluted basis) and (z) such lesser number of shares as the GBTG Board may determine.

Management Incentive Plan

In May 2022, GBTG adopted the Amended & Restated Global Business Travel Group, Inc. Management Incentive Plan (the “GBTG MIP”) which superseded the GBT JerseyCo Management Incentive Plan, as amended and restated from time to time with the ~~respect~~last amendment being on December 2, 2021 (the “Legacy GBT MIP”). Pursuant to ~~such Warrants. Accordingly,~~ the ~~Warrants may expire worthless.~~

~~7. Subsequent Events~~

~~On October 6, 2020,~~terms of the ~~Company consummated~~Legacy GBT MIP, all options granted under the ~~Initial Public Offering of 75,000,000 Units generating gross proceeds of $750,000,000 which is described in Note 3. The Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 11,333,334 Warrants~~Legacy GBT MIP that were outstanding at ~~a purchase price of $1.50 per Warrant, or approximately $17,000,000 in the aggregate, in a private placement simultaneously with~~ the closing of the ~~Initial Public Offering.~~Business Combination, whether vested or unvested, were converted into options to purchase shares of GBTG’s Class A common stock (“GBTG MIP Options”) and were treated as if they were originally granted under the GBTG MIP. The outstanding Legacy GBT MIP options were converted using the same exchange ratio as was used to convert the then existing GBT JerseyCo shares to new class of shares under the Business Combination. The exercise price of the awards were accordingly adjusted. Generally, the vesting and forfeiture terms of the GBTG MIP Options held by executive officers of GBT JerseyCo continue to be the same as provided under the Legacy GBT MIP under which they were granted. Under the GBTG MIP, all unexercised GBTG MIP Options, whether vested or unvested, expire on the tenth anniversary of their grant date, unless earlier cancelled, such as in connection with a termination of employment. GBTG MIP Options generally vest ratably in annual increments over a three or five year vesting period (i.e. one-third annually for a three year vesting period or 20% annually over a five year vesting period). There are no performance conditions associated with the vesting of the GBTG MIP Options. The exercise price of GBTG MIP Options granted under the GBTG MIP is 100% of the fair market value of the shares subject to the award, determined as of the date of grant, or such higher amount as the compensation committee may determine in connection with the grant.

During the three months ended June 30, 2022, in connection with the Business Combination, the Company granted certain Earnout Shares to its employees (see note 15 – Earnout Shares). The Earnout Shares granted to employees are linked to the original vesting conditions of GBTG MIP Options granted prior to December 2021. As a result, the Company has accounted for such Earnout Shares as stock-based compensation under ASC 718, and recognized an expense of $2 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 in its consolidated statement of operations. See note 20 ~~2020,~~– Fair Value Measurements for discussion on the fair value of Earnout Shares granted to employees.

There were no other new grants or any material forfeitures of the GBTG MIP Options during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.

Total equity-based compensation expense recognized in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations (i) for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 amount to $5 million and $1 million, respectively, and (ii) for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 amount to $8 million and $1 million, respectively, and is included within general and administrative expense on the consolidated statements of operations.

Preferred Shares of GBT JerseyCo: GBT JerseyCo’s amended memorandum and articles of association included authorized preferred share capital of 3 million of nominal value €0.00001 per preferred share, as a class of share with no voting rights. The holders of preferred shares were entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the board of directors of GBT JerseyCo out of funds of GBT JerseyCo legally available therefor, cumulative dividends at the rate of 12% per share per annum; provided, that if any preferred share remains issued and outstanding following September 15, 2023, the dividend rate with respect to such preferred share increases to 14% per share per annum from and after September 15, 2023. Further, the total amount of dividends on such preferred shares was computed on a cumulative basis and compounded daily. The preferred shares were redeemable, in whole or in part, at the election of GBT JerseyCo, at any time at a price per share equal to the unreturned capital contributions associated with such preferred share plus accrued and unpaid cumulative dividends thereon to the date of redemption.

There was 0 issuance of preferred shares during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022; however, GBT JerseyCo accrued a dividend of $3 million and $8 million, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, on the outstanding balance of preferred shares. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company issued 500,000 preferred shares in equal proportion to Amex Coop and Juweel for a total consideration of $50 million. As the preferred shares of GBT JerseyCo were issued to the ordinary shareholders, although the preferred shares were redeemable at the option of GBT JerseyCo, these were classified as mezzanine equity.

Upon closing of the Business Combination on May 27, 2022, GBT JerseyCo redeemed, in full, the outstanding amount of preferred shares, including dividends accrued thereon. Upon redemption, all the preferred shares were cancelled.

Distributions

The Company paid cash of $1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 in relation to accrued capital distribution to cover certain administrative costs of GBT JerseyCo’s then existing shareholders. There were no such distributions during the six months ended June 30, 2022. See the discussion above for dividends on preferred shares accrued during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

Registration Rights Agreement

In May 2022, GBTG, APSG Sponsor, L.P., (the “Sponsor”), certain of APSG’s then existing board members (the “Insiders”) and the Continuing JerseyCo Owners entered into an amended and restated registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, GBTG has registered for resale, pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act, certain shares of Class A common stock and other equity securities of GBTG that are held by the holders party to the Registration Rights Agreement from time to time.

~~On November 10, 2020, the Company consummated the sale~~Class A common stock issued to each of ~~6,681,000 Over-Allotment Units pursuant to the underwriters’ partial exercise of their over-allotment option. Such Over-Allotment Units were sold~~them at ~~$10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $66,810,000. Substantially concurrently with~~ the closing of the ~~sale of 6,681,000 Over-Allotment Units, the Company consummated the private sale of an additional 890,800 Private Placement Warrants at a purchase price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant~~Business Combination (such shares issued to the Sponsor, ~~generating~~the “Sponsor Shares”). The Sponsor and the Insiders are not permitted to transfer their Class A common stock, subject to certain permitted exceptions, until the earlier to occur of (a) one year following the closing date of the Business Combination and (b) the date which the VWAP of Class A common stock exceeds $12.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a period of 30 consecutive trading days.

Further, approximately 8 million of the Sponsor Shares were deemed unvested and were subject to certain triggering events to occur within five years following the closing (the “Sponsor Side Letter Vesting Period”) for these shares to vest. If, within the Sponsor Side Letter Vesting Period, the VWAP of Class A common stock is greater than or equal to $12.50 for any 20 trading days within a period of 30 consecutive trading days, approximately 5 million of the unvested Sponsor Shares will vest. If, within the Sponsor Side Letter Vesting Period, the VWAP of Class A common stock is greater than or equal to $15.00 for any 20 trading days within a period of 30 consecutive trading days the remaining approximately 3 million of the unvested Sponsor Shares will vest. To the extent that either of the aforementioned triggering events do not occur within the Sponsor Side Letter Vesting Period, such Sponsor Shares will be forfeited to and terminated by GBTG. The registered holder(s) of the unvested Sponsor Shares continue to be entitled to all of the rights of ownership thereof, including the right to vote and receive dividends and other distributions in respect thereof. The number of shares and the price targets listed above will be equitably adjusted for stock splits, reverse stock splits, dividends (cash or stock), reorganizations, recapitalizations, reclassifications, combinations or other like changes or transactions with respect to the Class A common stock.

Any Class A common stock purchased by the Sponsor in connection with the PIPE investment will not be subject to the vesting or transfer restrictions described above.

These shares are accounted for as part of Earnout Shares discussed in note 15 above.

(18) Earnings (loss) per share

The Company’s basic earnings (loss) per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 is based on results for the period from the date of Business Combination, May 27, 2022 to June 30, 2022, the period where the Company had earnings (loss) attributable to Class A common stockholders. The Company’s diluted earnings (loss) per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 is based on the results of operations for the respective periods. This is because the numerator calculated for basic earnings (loss) per share adjusts for the results of operations that are attributable to the Class B common stockholders who are also the Continuing JerseyCo Owners of GBT JerseyCo (which is a predecessor to GBTG). The Company analyzed the calculations of net loss per share for periods prior to the Business Combination and determined that the values would not be meaningful to the users of these unaudited consolidated financial statements as it did not represent equity structure post Business Combination transaction.

Basic earnings (loss) per share is based on the average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is based on the average number of shares of Class A common stock used for the basic earnings per share calculation, adjusted for the dilutive effect of warrants and GBTG MIP Options using the “treasury stock” method, and Earnout Shares and GBTG’s Class B common stock that convert into potential shares of Class A common stock, using the “if converted” method. Net earnings (loss) for diluted loss per share is adjusted for the Company’s share of GBT JerseyCo’s consolidated net earnings (loss), net of GBTG’s income taxes, after giving effect to GBT JerseyCo’s B ordinary shares that convert into potential shares of GBTG’s Class A common stock, to the extent it is dilutive.

As discussed in note 15 – Earnout Shares, the Company has issued and outstanding approximately 15 million of Earnout Shares, which are subject to forfeiture if the achievement of certain stock price thresholds are not met. In accordance with ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share,” Earnout Shares are excluded from weighted-average shares outstanding to calculate basic earnings (loss) per share as they are considered contingently issuable shares due to their potential forfeiture. Earnout Shares will be included in weighted-average shares outstanding to calculate basic earnings (loss) per share as of the date their stock price thresholds are met and they are no longer subject to forfeiture. Additionally, Dividends accrued on Earnout Shares, if any, will be forfeited if the pricing thresholds for Earnout Shares are not met during the specified time period.

As the exercise price of approximately 39 million warrants and approximately 25 million GBTG MIP Options (i.e. GBTG MIP Options other than those considered as dilutive in the table below) is higher than the average market price of the Class A common stock, including such warrants and GBTG MIP Options within the calculation of diluted earnings (loss) per share would have resulted in anti-dilutive effect on earnings (loss) per share. Hence such warrants and GBTG MIP options have been excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share.

GBTG’s Class B common stock does not have economic rights in the Company, including rights to dividends or distributions upon liquidation. As such, basic earnings (loss) per share of Class B common stock have not been presented. However, as these shares can be converted to Class A common stock under the provisions of Exchange Agreement, Class B common stock has been included in the calculations of diluted earnings (loss) per share.

(19) Derivatives and Hedging

Except as mentioned below, the Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market or foreign currency risks. The Company does not hold or issue financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes. The Company does not offset derivative assets and liabilities within the consolidated balance sheets.

Interest Rate Swap

The Company is subject to market risk exposure arising from changes in interest rates on debt, which bears interest at variable rates. The Company has interest rate risk primarily related to its senior secured term loans under the senior secured credit agreement, which bear interest at a variable rate that is currently based on three-months LIBOR (subject to certain benchmark replacement provisions and certain interest rate floors, as applicable). In order to protect against potential higher interest costs resulting from anticipated increases in the benchmark rate for the senior secured tranche B-3 term loans, in February, 2022, Group Services B.V., a wholly owned subsidiary of GBTG and the borrower under the senior secured credit agreement, entered into an interest rate swap contract that fixed the benchmark interest rate with respect to a portion of the senior secured tranche B-3 term loans. The terms of such swap were initially linked to LIBOR as the benchmark rate, with a secured overnight financing rate (SOFR)-based rate replacing LIBOR as the benchmark rate for such swap, commencing in June 2023. The Company’s objective in using an interest rate swap derivative is to mitigate its exposure to increase / variability in LIBOR / SOFR interest rates. The interest rate swap was for a notional amount of debt of $600 million, for a period from March 2022 to March 2025 with fixed interest rate of 2.0725%. The interest rate swap was designated as a cash flow hedge that is highly effective at offsetting the increases in cash outflows when three-month LIBOR exceeds 2.0725%. In June 2022, the Company terminated this interest rate swap realizing $23 million in cash and simultaneously entered into another interest rate swap agreement, on substantially the same terms and conditions as the previous one, except the new fixed interest rate was contracted to be 3.6858%. Under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, the Company has determined that the total amount of $23 million credited to the accumulated other comprehensive income in connection with the termination of the February 2022 interest rate swap contract will be included in the consolidated statement of operations proportionately until March 2025 as an offset to interest expense as the interest payments are made over this period. Further, the Company has determined that the new interest rate swap contract will be designated as a cash flow hedge that is highly effective at offsetting the increases in cash outflows when three-month LIBOR exceeds 3.6858%. Changes in the fair value of the interest rate swap, net of tax, are recognized in other comprehensive income and are reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and into interest expense when the hedged interest obligations affect earnings.

Warrants and Earnout Shares

As a result of the Business Combination, GBTG has issued and outstanding warrants (see note 14 – Warrants) and Earnout Shares (see note 15 – Earnout Shares). The public and private warrants and non-employee Earnout Shares are classified as derivative liabilities under ASC 815. Derivative warrant and Earnout Shares liabilities 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.

As of June 30, 2022, the number of warrants and non-employee Earnout Shares issued and outstanding were approximately 39 million and 15 million respectively.

(20) Fair Value Measurements

Financial instruments which are measured at fair value, or for which a fair value is disclosed, are classified in the fair value hierarchy, as outlined below, on the basis of the observability of the inputs used in the fair value measurement:

Level 1 — Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access.

Level 2 — Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in non-active markets or for which all significant inputs, other than quoted prices, are observable either directly or indirectly, or for which unobservable inputs are corroborated by market data.

Level 3 — Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to overall fair value measurement.

As of June 30, 2022, the Company’s financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis consist of its derivative instrument — interest rate swap, warrants and Earnout Shares. The fair value of the Company’s interest rate swap has been calculated using a discounted cash flow analysis by taking the present value of the fixed and floating rate cash flows utilizing the appropriate forward LIBOR and/or SOFR curves and the counterparty’s credit risk, which was determined to be not material. The fair value of warrants are determined using a market price for the public warrants and a Black-Scholes model for the private warrants. The fair value of Earnout Shares is determined using Monte Carlo valuation method.

Presented below is a summary of the gross carrying value and fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at a fair value on a recurring basis:


		As of
	Fair Value	June 30,		December 31,
(in $ millions)	Hierarchy	2022		2021
Interest rate swaps	Level 2	$	10	$	—
Earnout Shares	Level 3		77		—
Public warrants	Level 1		28		—
Private warrants	Level 3		16		—

The fair value of each Earnout Share (both employee and non-employee) was estimated on the closing date of the Business Combination using the Monte Carlo Option Pricing Method. Inherent in the Monte Carlo Option Pricing Method are assumptions related to expected stock-price volatility, expected life, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. The Company estimated the volatility of the Earnout Shares based on implied volatility from historical volatility of select peer companies’ common stock that matches the expected remaining life of the Earnout Shares. The risk-free interest rate was based on the U.S. Treasury zero-coupon yield curve for a maturity similar to the expected remaining life of the Earnout Shares. The expected life of the Earnout Shares was assumed to be equivalent to their remaining contractual term. The Company anticipated the dividend rate will remain at zero.

The following table presents the assumptions used for the initial measurement of the Earnout Shares on May 27, 2022 and to remeasure the fair value of outstanding non-employee earnout shares liabilities as of June 30, 2022:


	As of
	May 27,			June 30,

Fair value ($) (per Earnout Share – Tranche 1)	$	4.82		$	3.72
Fair value ($) (per Earnout Share – Tranche 2)	$	3.98		$	3.04

The public warrants are valued using quoted market prices on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker GBTG.WS and are included in Earnouts and warrants derivative liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. As of May 27, 2022 and June 30, 2022, the price per public warrant was $1.33 and $1.05, respectively.

The fair value of private warrants was estimated on the closing date of the Business Combination using the Black-Scholes option pricing method. Inherent in the Black Scholes option pricing method are assumptions related to expected stock-price volatility, expected life, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. The Company estimated the volatility of the private warrants based on implied volatility from historical volatility of select peer companies’ common stock that matches the expected remaining life of the private warrants. The risk-free interest rate was based on the U.S. Treasury zero-coupon yield curve for a maturity similar to the expected remaining life of the private warrants. The expected life of the private warrants was assumed to be equivalent to their remaining contractual term. The Company anticipated the dividend rate will remain at zero.

The Company had no transfers between fair value levels during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.

The Company does not measure its debt at fair value in its consolidated balance sheets. Where the fair value of the Company’s long-term debt is determined based on quoted prices for identical or similar debt instruments when traded as assets, it is categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Where quoted prices are not available, fair value is estimated using discounted cash flows and market-based expectation of interest rates, credit risks and contractual term of the debt instruments and is categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

The fair values of the Company’s outstanding senior secured term loans are as follows:


		As of				As of
	Fair	June 30, 2022				December 31, 2021

Overview

We are the world’s leading platform serving travel for business purposes that is purchased and fulfilled through a ~~Cayman Islands incorporated~~company-sponsored and ~~exempted blank check~~managed channel (“B2B travel”) providing a full suite of differentiated, technology-enabled solutions to business travelers and corporate clients, suppliers of travel content (such as airlines, hotels, ground transportation and aggregators) and third-party travel agencies. We differentiate our value proposition through our commitment to deliver unrivalled choice, value and experience, with the powerful backing of American Express GBT, to our customers.

We are at the center of the global B2B travel ecosystem, managing the end-to-end logistics of corporate travel and providing an important link between businesses, their employees, travel suppliers and other industry participants. We service our clients in the following ways:

●

Our travel management solutions (delivered through the portfolio of our brands, including American Express Global Business Travel, Ovation, Lawyers Travel and Egencia) provide our clients with extensive access to flights, hotel rooms, car rentals and other travel services, including exclusive negotiated content, supported by a full suite of services that allows them to design and operate an efficient travel program and solve complex travel requirements.

●

GBT Partner Solutions extends our platform to third-party travel management companies and independent advisors (“Network Partners”), offering them access to our differentiated content and technology. Through GBT Partner Solutions, we aggregate business travel demand serviced by our Network Partners at low incremental cost, which we believe enhances the economics of our platform, generates increased return on investment and expands our geographic and segment footprint.

●

GBT Supply MarketPlace provides travel suppliers with efficient access to business travel clients serviced by our brands and Network Partners. We believe this access allows travel suppliers to benefit from premium demand (which we generally view as demand that is differentially valuable and profitable to suppliers) without incurring the costs associated with directly marketing to, and servicing, the complex needs of our corporate clients. Our travel supplier relationships generate efficiencies and cost savings that can be passed on to our corporate clients.

As of June 30, 2022, we served approximately 20,000 corporate clients and more than 240 Network Partners.

In June 2014, American Express Company established a joint venture (“JV”) comprising the legacy GBT JerseyCo operations with a predecessor of Juweel Investors (SPC) Limited (“Juweel”) and a group of institutional investors led by an affiliate of Certares. Since the formation of the JV in 2014, we have evolved from a leading travel management company ~~formed~~(“TMC”) into a complete B2B travel platform, becoming one of the leading marketplaces in travel for corporate clients and travel suppliers. Before June 2014, our operations were owned by American Express and primarily consisted of providing business travel solutions for corporate clients.

Prior to the ~~purpose~~Closing Date, we operated our business travel, business consulting and meetings and events businesses under the brands American Express Global Business Travel and American Express Meetings & Events pursuant to an exclusive and worldwide license from American Express. Effective as of ~~effecting~~the Closing Date, we executed long-term commercial agreements with American Express, including the A&R Trademark License Agreement, pursuant to which we continue to license the American Express trademarks used in the American Express Global Business Travel brand, continue to license the American Express trademarks used in American Express Meetings & Events (solely during a ~~merger, capital share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization~~12-month transition period) brand, and license the American Express trademarks used in the American Express GBT Meetings & Events brand for business travel, meetings and events, business consulting and other services related to business travel, in each case on an exclusive and worldwide basis. The term of the A&R Trademark License Agreement is for 11 years from the Closing Date, unless earlier terminated or ~~other similar~~extended. The American Express brand, consistently ranked as one of the most valuable brands in the world, brings with it a reputation for service excellence. We believe our partnership with American Express has been an important component of our value proposition. Under our commercial agreements with American Express, we exclusively provide business ~~combination~~travel and meetings and events services to American Express personnel, subject to limited exceptions, engage in mutual global lead generation activities with ~~one~~American Express for our respective services and continue to exclusively promote American Express payment products to our clients and to make those products available for use by our own personnel in connection with our business.

On December 2, 2021, we entered into a Business Combination ~~using cash from~~Agreement with APSG, a special purpose acquisition company, listed on the ~~proceeds~~NYSE (the “Business Combination”). The Business Combination closed on May 27, 2022 upon satisfaction of the ~~Initial Public Offering~~closing conditions provided in the Business Combination Agreement, including approval by APSG’s shareholders and ~~the sale~~certain regulatory approvals. Upon Closing, GBT JerseyCo became a direct subsidiary of ~~the Private Placement Warrants, our capital equity, debt or a combination of cash, equity~~APSG, with APSG being renamed “Global Business Travel Group, Inc.” and ~~debt.~~conducting its business through GBT JerseyCo.

~~The issuance of additional ordinary shares in an Initial Business Combination:~~

	•	may significantly dilute the equity interest of investors, which dilution would increase if the anti-dilution provisions in the Class B ordinary shares resulted in the issuance of Class A ordinary shares on a greater than one-to-one basis upon conversion of the Class B ordinary shares;
	•	~~may subordinate the rights of holders of ordinary shares if preferred shares are issued with rights senior to those afforded our ordinary shares;~~
	•	could cause a change of control if a substantial number of our ordinary shares are issued, which may affect, among other things, our ability to use our net operating loss carry forwards, if any, and could result in the resignation or removal of our present officers and directors;
	•	~~may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control of us by diluting the equity ownership or voting rights of a person seeking to obtain control of us; and~~
	•	~~may adversely affect prevailing market prices for our Class A ordinary shares and/or warrants.~~

~~Similarly, if we issue debt securities or otherwise incur significant indebtedness, it could result in:~~

	•	~~default and foreclosure on our assets if our operating revenues after an Initial Business Combination are insufficient to repay our debt obligations;~~
	•	acceleration of our obligations to repay the indebtedness even if we make all principal and interest payments when due if we breach certain covenants that require the maintenance of certain financial ratios or reserves without a waiver or renegotiation of that covenant;
	•	~~our immediate payment of all principal and accrued interest, if any, if the debt is payable on demand;~~
	•	~~our inability to obtain necessary additional financing if the debt contains covenants restricting our ability to obtain such financing while the debt is outstanding;~~
	•	~~our inability to pay dividends on our ordinary shares;~~
	•	using a substantial portion of our cash flow to pay principal and interest on our debt, which will reduce the funds available for dividends on our ordinary shares if declared, expenses, capital expenditures, acquisitions and other general corporate purposes;
	•	~~limitations on our flexibility in planning for and reacting to changes in our business and in the industry in which we operate;~~
	•	~~increased vulnerability to adverse changes in general economic, industry and competitive conditions and adverse changes in government regulation; and~~
	•	limitations on our ability to borrow additional amounts for expenses, capital expenditures, acquisitions, debt service requirements, execution of our strategy and other purposes and other disadvantages compared to our competitors who have less debt.

Key Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations

We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities through September 30, 2020 were organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for the Initial Public Offering and, after our Initial Public Offering, identifying a target company for an Initial Business Combination. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our Initial Business Combination. We will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account. We incur expenses asAs a result of ~~being~~ a ~~public company (for legal,~~number of factors, our historical results of operations are not comparable from period to period and may not be comparable to our financial ~~reporting, accounting~~results of operations in future periods. Set forth below is a brief discussion of the key factors impacting the comparability of our results of operations.

Industry Trends

The travel industry can generally be divided into two sectors: (i) the leisure travel sector, which serves individuals who make reservations for vacation and ~~auditing compliance),~~personal travel, and (ii) the business travel sector, which serves corporate clients that require travel by employees and other travelers for business needs and meetings. We focus primarily on the business travel sector, which is approximately twice as valuable as the leisure travel sector because business travel customers purchase more premium seats, more flexible tickets, more long- haul international trips and more last-minute bookings.

Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic

Since March 2020, the outbreak of the novel strain of the coronavirus, COVID-19 (“COVID-19”) severely restricted the level of economic activity around the world and had an unprecedented effect on the global travel industry. Government measures implemented to contain the spread of COVID-19, such as imposing restrictions on travel and business operations and advising or requiring individuals to limit or forgo time outside of their homes, limited business travel significantly below 2019 levels.

Table of Contents

However, with the spread of COVID-19 now being contained to varying degrees in certain countries during different times, travel restrictions have been lifted and clients have become more comfortable traveling, particularly to domestic locations. This has led to a moderation of the more severe declines in business travel bookings experienced at certain points since the pandemic began. Starting in the second half of 2021 and continuing into first half of 2022, global travel activity has since shown a recovery trend, but, as of June 30, 2022, remained below 2019 largely due to COVID-19 variants and subvariants. We continue to see momentum in business travel recovery, with transactions reaching 76% of 2019 levels in the month of June 2022.

Impact of Acquisitions

We regularly evaluate and pursue accretive acquisitions and have realized substantial growth through our acquisition strategy. In January 2021, we completed the acquisition of Ovation Travel, LLC (together with its subsidiaries, “Ovation”). Ovation is a leading specialist in providing high-touch service. The Ovation acquisition was an important step in expanding our high value capabilities and building our leadership in the large and attractive small and medium enterprise customer base and the professional services industry. Further, on November 1, 2021, we completed our acquisition of Egencia, a business-to-business digital travel management company serving corporate clients, from an affiliate of Expedia, Inc., EG Corporate Travel Holdings LLC (“Expedia”).

Our consolidated financial statements for ~~due diligence expenses.~~the six months ended June 30, 2022 include the results of the acquisitions discussed above from the respective closing date of each acquisition.

These acquisitions have been a significant driver of our revenue, cost of revenue and other operating expenses (including integration, restructuring and depreciation and amortization). Further, purchase accounting under GAAP requires that all assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination be recorded at fair value on the acquisition date. As a result, our acquisition strategy has resulted in the past and could result in the future in a significant amount of amortization of acquired intangibles (or impairments, if any) recorded in our results of operations following acquisition by GBTG, which may significantly impact our results of operations.

Key Operating Metrics

We consider TTV, followed by Transaction Growth (Decline), to be two significant non-financial metrics that are broadly used in the travel industry to help understand revenue and expense trends. These metrics are used by our management to (1) manage the financial planning and performance of our business, (1) evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies, (3) make budgeting decisions, and (4) compare our performance to the performance of our peer companies. We also believe that TTV, followed by Transaction Growth (Decline), may assist potential investors and financial analysts in understanding the drivers of growth in our revenues and changes in our operating expenses across reporting periods.

TTV

TTV refers to the sum of the total price paid by travelers for air, hotel, rail, car rental and cruise bookings, including taxes and other charges applied by suppliers at point of sale, less cancellations and refunds.

For the three months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020~~2022, TTV increased by $5,308 million, or 438%, to $6,520 million compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, TTV increased by $8,795 million, or 470%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in TTV was primarily due to (i) full quarterly inclusion of Egencia’s TTV, which contributed 136% and ~~2019,~~145% of TTV for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, and (ii) continued recovery of our business from a period of significant COVID-19 pandemic travel restrictions, that were introduced by governments in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The increase in TTV, in part, reflects increasing numbers of companies returning to business travel and reductions in international travel restrictions.

Table of Contents

Transaction Growth (Decline)

Transaction Growth (Decline) represents year-over-year decline or growth as a percentage of the total transactions, including air, hotel, car rental, rail or other travel-related transactions, recorded at the time of booking, and is calculated on a gross basis to include cancellations, refunds and exchanges. To calculate year- over-year growth or decline, we ~~had a net loss~~compare the total number of ~~$10,000 and $0, respectively, which consists~~transactions in the comparative previous period/ year to the total number of ~~formation and operating costs.~~

transactions in the current period in percentage terms.

For the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020~~2022, Transaction Growth was 346% compared to three months ended June 30, 2021. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, Transaction Growth was 363% compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021. Transaction Growth during these periods was primarily due to (i) full quarterly inclusion of Egencia’s transaction volume, which contributed 149% and ~~2019,~~158% of Transaction Growth for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, and (ii) the increase in number of transactions due to continued easing of travel restrictions that were introduced by governments in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We report our financial results in accordance with GAAP. Our non-GAAP financial measures are provided in addition to, and should not be considered as an alternative to, other performance or liquidity measure derived in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them either in isolation or as a substitute for analyzing our results as reported under GAAP. In addition, because not all companies use identical calculations, the presentations of our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies and can differ significantly from company to company.

Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide users of our financial information with useful supplemental information that enables a better comparison of our performance or liquidity across periods. In addition, we ~~had~~use certain of these non-GAAP financial measures as performance measures as they are important metrics used by management to evaluate and understand the underlying operations and business trends, forecast future results and determine future capital investment allocations. We use two of our non-GAAP financial measures as indicators of our ability to generate cash to meet our liquidity needs and to assist our management in evaluating our financial flexibility, capital structure and leverage. These non-GAAP financial measures supplement comparable GAAP measures in the evaluation of the effectiveness of our business strategies, to make budgeting decisions, and/or to compare our performance and liquidity against that of other peer companies using similar measures.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin and Adjusted Operating Expenses

We define EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest income, interest expense, loss on early extinguishment of debt, benefit from (provision for) income taxes and depreciation and amortization.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest income, interest expense, loss on early extinguishment of debt, benefit from (provision for) income taxes and depreciation and amortization and as further adjusted to exclude costs that management believes are non-core to the underlying business of the Company, consisting of restructuring costs, integration costs, costs related to mergers and acquisitions, separation costs, non-cash equity-based compensation, long-term incentive plan costs, certain corporate costs, fair value movements on earnouts and warrants derivative liabilities, foreign currency gains (losses), non-service components of net periodic pension benefit (costs) and gains (losses) on disposal of businesses.

We define Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue.

We define Adjusted Operating Expenses as total operating expenses excluding depreciation and amortization and costs that management believes are non-core to the underlying business of the Company, consisting of restructuring costs, integration costs, costs related to mergers and acquisitions, separation costs, non-cash equity-based compensation, long-term incentive plan costs and certain corporate costs.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin and Adjusted Operating Expenses are supplemental non-GAAP financial measures of operating performance that do not represent and should not be considered as alternatives to net income (loss) or total operating expenses, as determined under GAAP. In addition, these measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

Table of Contents

These non-GAAP measures have limitations as analytical tools, and these measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s results or expenses as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are that these measures do not reflect:

●

changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs or contractual commitments;

●

our interest expense, or the cash requirements to service interest or principal payments on our indebtedness;

●

our tax expense, or the cash requirements to pay our taxes;

●

recurring, non-cash expenses of depreciation and amortization of property and equipment and definite-lived intangible assets and, although these are non-cash expenses, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future;

●

the non-cash expense of stock-based compensation, which has been, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future, an important part of how we attract and retain our employees and a significant recurring expense in our business;

●

restructuring, mergers and acquisition and integration costs, all of which are intrinsic of our acquisitive business model; and

●

impact on earnings or changes resulting from matters that are non-core to our underlying business, as we believe they are not indicative of our underlying operations.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin and Adjusted Operating Expenses should not be considered as a measure of liquidity or as a measure determining discretionary cash available to us to reinvest in the growth of our business or as measures of cash that will be available to us to meet our obligations.

We believe that the adjustments applied in presenting EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin and Adjusted Operating Expenses are appropriate to provide additional information to investors about certain material non-cash and other items that management believes are non-core to our underlying business.

We use these measures as performance measures as they are important metrics used by management to evaluate and understand the underlying operations and business trends, forecast future results and determine future capital investment allocations. These non-GAAP measures supplement comparable GAAP measures in the evaluation of the effectiveness of our business strategies, to make budgeting decisions, and to compare our performance against that of other peer companies using similar measures. We also believe that EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin and Adjusted Operating Expenses are helpful supplemental measures to assist potential investors and analysts in evaluating our operating results across reporting periods on a consistent basis.

Components of Results of Operations

Revenue

We generate revenue in two primary ways — (1) Travel Revenues received from clients and travel suppliers and (2) Product and Professional Services Revenues received from clients, travel suppliers and Network Partners.

Travel Revenues: Travel Revenues include all revenue relating to servicing a travel transaction, which can be air, hotel, car rental, rail or other travel-related bookings or reservations, cancellations, exchanges or refunds. The major components of our Travel Revenues are:

●

Client Fees: We typically charge clients transaction fees for arranging travel.

●

Supplier Fees: Travel suppliers pay us for distributing and promoting their content. The mechanism varies by supplier, but the amount is usually a volume-linked fee. This includes fees from the three major GDSs.

Product and Professional Services Revenues: We receive revenue from clients, travel suppliers and Network Partners for using our platform, products and value-added services.

●

Management Fees: Many clients request a contractually fixed, dedicated staffing pool to serve their travelers for part or all of their business travel. In these cases, we use a cost-recovery-plus-margin pricing structure instead of a transaction fee. Client management resources and overhead allocations are also included in this management fee.

●

Products Revenues: We provide a broad range of business travel management tools used by clients to manage their travel programs. Revenue for these solutions usually takes the form of recurring subscriptions or management fees.

●

Consulting and Meetings and Events Revenues: Consulting revenues (including outsourcing to us of part, or all, of a client’s travel program management) are usually a fixed fee for delivery of a certain engagement (such as company travel policy design). Meetings and events revenue is based on fees for booking, planning and managing meetings and events.

●

Other Revenues: Other revenues typically include certain marketing and advertising fees from travel suppliers, as well as direct revenues from our Network Partners (excluding certain supplier fees that are indirectly driven by Network Partners’ contribution to aggregate volumes).

Costs and Expenses

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue primarily consists of (i) salaries and benefits of our travel counsellors, meetings and events teams and their supporting functions and (ii) the cost of outsourcing resources in transaction processing and the processing costs of online booking tools.

Sales and Marketing

Sales and marketing expenses primarily consists of (i) salaries and benefits of employees in our sales and marketing function and (ii) the expenses for acquiring and maintaining client partnerships, including account management, sales, marketing and consulting, as well as certain other functions that support these efforts.

Technology and Content

Technology and content expenses primarily consists of (i) salaries and benefits of employees engaged in our product and content development, back-end applications, support infrastructure and who maintain security of our networks and (ii) expenses associated with licensing software and information technology maintenance.

Table of Contents

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses consists of (i) salaries and benefits of our employees in finance, legal, human resources and administrative support, including expenses associated with the executive non-cash equity plan and long-term incentive plans, (ii) integration expenses related to acquisitions, costs related to mergers and acquisitions primarily related to due diligence, legal and related professional services fees and (iii) fees and costs related to accounting, tax and other professional services fees, legal related costs, and other miscellaneous expenses. We have incurred, and expect to continue to incur, additional expenses as we grow our operations as a newly public company, including higher legal, corporate insurance, accounting and auditing expenses, and the additional costs of enhancing and maintaining our internal control environment through the adoption of new corporate policies. We also expect that general and administrative expenses will continue to increase in absolute dollars as we expand our operations.

Benefit from Income Taxes

GBT JerseyCo is tax resident in the U.K. and is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a partnership, GBT JerseyCo is itself generally not subject to U.S. federal income tax under current U.S. tax laws, and any taxable income or loss is passed through and included in the taxable income or loss of its members, including GBTG. GBTG is subject to U.S. federal income taxes with respect to its distributive share of the net taxable income or loss and any related tax credits of GBT JerseyCo. We are also subject to taxes for GBTG on standalone basis in respect of any taxable gains or losses and deferred taxes related to its investment in GBT JerseyCo.

For the three months ended June 30, 2022, the income tax benefit of $4 million was primarily in relation to the pre-tax loss arising in GBT JerseyCo. In addition, there were non-taxable fair value movements on Earnout Shares and warrants in the period which increased the effective tax rate. Further, our effective income tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was 56%, primarily due to the change in U.K.’s enacted tax rates from 19% to 25%, in the second quarter of 2021, and which becomes effective from April 2023. As a result of change in the enacted tax rate, the deferred tax assets and liabilities were remeasured in the second quarter of 2021, that resulted in recognition of additional deferred tax benefit of $35 million.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the fair value of our derivative liabilities related to our non-employee Earnout Shares and warrants decreased by $36 million resulting in a credit to our consolidated statement of operations.

Other Income, net

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, other income, net, decreased by $3 million or 56%, due to adverse changes in foreign exchange rates.

Benefit from Income Taxes

As mentioned earlier, we operate our business through an Up-C structure.

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, our income tax benefit was $29 million, at an effective tax rate of ~~September~~25% compared to statutory tax rate of 21%, primarily due to non-taxability of fair value movements of Earnout Shares and warrants. Further, our effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, ~~2020,~~2021 was 37%, primarily due to the change in U.K.’s enacted tax rates as discussed above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal sources of liquidity are typically cash flows generated from operations, cash available under the credit facilities under the senior secured credit agreement as well as cash and cash equivalents balances on hand. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, our cash and cash equivalent balances were $446 million and $516 million, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, our Free Cash Flow was $(351) million and $(254) million, respectively (See “— Free Cash Flow” for additional information about this non-GAAP measure and a reconciliation to the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP). The $50 million senior secured revolving credit facility remained undrawn at June 30, 2022.

On May 27, 2022, we ~~had cash~~completed our Business Combination. After giving effect to payments of ~~$0,~~certain transaction expenses and redemption of GBT JerseyCo preferred shares of $168 million (including accrued dividends until the closing date), we received net proceeds of $128 million upon closing. Further, during the three months ended June 30, 2022, we borrowed a ~~working capital deficit~~principal amount of ~~$981,749 and an accumulated deficit~~$200 million of ~~$41,902.~~

senior secured tranche B-3 term loans under the Tranche B-3 Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility.

We ~~do not have~~believe, based on our current operating plan, that our existing cash and cash equivalents, together with the senior secured revolving credit facility and cash flows from operating activities, will be sufficient ~~liquidity~~ to meet our anticipated ~~obligations over~~cash needs for working capital, financial liabilities, capital expenditures and business expansion for at least the next ~~year~~12 months. Although we believe that we will have a sufficient level of cash and cash equivalents to cover our working capital needs in the ordinary course of business and to continue to expand our business, we may, from time to time, explore additional financing sources to lower our cost of capital, which could include equity, equity-linked and debt financing. In addition, from time to time, we may evaluate acquisitions and other strategic opportunities. If we elect to pursue any such investments, we may fund them with internally generated funds, bank financing, the issuance of other debt or equity or a combination thereof. There is no assurance that such funding would be available to us on acceptable terms or at all. Furthermore, we cannot assure you that we would be able to satisfy or obtain a waiver of applicable borrowing conditions for borrowing additional amounts under the unused commitments under the senior secured credit agreement in the future. In addition, utilization of the senior secured revolving credit facility may be effectively limited as of the end of any fiscal quarter if we are unable to comply with the leverage-based financial covenant for such facility contained in the senior secured credit agreement when required.

Cash Flows for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2021

As of June 30, 2022, we had $456 million of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, a decrease of $69 million compared to December 31, 2021. The following discussion summarizes changes to our cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the six months ended Jun 30, 2021.

Operating Activities

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, net cash used in operating activities was $309 million compared to $236 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in cash used in operating activities of $73 million was primarily due to $229 million increased cash usage for working capital as business recovery from the ~~date~~COVID-19 pandemic continued, partially offset by a decrease of $128 million in operating loss.

Table of Contents

Investing Activities

During the six months ended June 30, 2022 cash used in investing activities of $42 million was related to purchase of property and equipment. Cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2021 of $71 million consisted of cash consideration of $53 million paid for the acquisition of the Ovation travel business and $18 million used for the purchase of property and equipment.

Financing Activities

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, net cash from financing activities of $298 million was primarily due to: (i) $269 million of proceeds from the Business Combination and (ii) $200 million of proceeds received from delayed draw term loans borrowed under the senior secured tranche B-3 term loan facilities, partially offset by (iii) $168 million redemption of preferred share capital, including dividends accrued thereon. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, net cash from financing activities of $187 million primarily consisted of: (i) $100 million of gross cash proceeds received from term loans borrowed pursuant to the senior secured prior tranche B-2 term loan facility, (ii) $100 million of proceeds received from the issuance of ~~these~~preferred shares, partially, offset by: (iii) $12 million cash outflows for payment of lender fees and issuance costs for senior secured term loans facilities and repayment of principal amount of finance lease obligation and quarterly term loan installment.

Free Cash Flow

We define Free Cash Flow as net cash from (used in) operating activities, less cash used for additions to property and equipment.

We believe Free Cash Flow is an important measure of our liquidity. This measure is a useful indicator of our ability to generate cash to meet our liquidity demands. We use this measure to conduct and evaluate our operating liquidity. We believe it typically presents an alternate measure of cash flows since purchases of property and equipment are a necessary component of our ongoing operations and it provides useful information regarding how cash provided by operating activities compares to the property and equipment investments required to maintain and grow our platform. We believe Free Cash Flow provides investors with an understanding of how assets are performing and measures management’s effectiveness in managing cash.

Free Cash Flow is a non-GAAP measure and may not be comparable to similarly named measures used by other companies. This measure has limitations in that it does not represent the total increase or decrease in the cash balance for the period, nor does it represent cash flow for discretionary expenditures. This measure should not be considered as a measure of liquidity or cash flows from operations as determined under GAAP. This measure is not measurement of our financial ~~statements. In connection with our assessment of going concern considerations~~performance under GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as alternative to net income (loss) or any other performance measures derived in accordance with ~~Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “~~~~Disclosures of Uncertainties about~~GAAP or as an ~~Entity’s Ability~~alternative to ~~Continue~~cash flows from operating activities as a ~~Going Concern~~~~,” management has determined that we have access~~measure of liquidity.

We define Net Debt as total debt outstanding consisting of current and non-current portion of long-term debt (defined as debt (excluding lease liabilities) with original contractual maturity dates of one year ~~from the date~~or greater), net of unamortized debt discount and unamortized debt issuance costs, minus cash and cash equivalents.

This measure is not a measurement of ~~these~~our indebtedness as determined under GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as alternative to assess our total debt or any other measures derived in accordance with GAAP or as an alternative to total debt. Management uses Net Debt to review our overall liquidity, financial ~~statements. On October 20, 2020, the Sponsor executed the October Note~~flexibility, capital structure and leverage. Further, we believe that certain debt rating agencies, creditors and credit analysts monitor our Net Debt as part of their assessment of our business.

Total debt, net of unamortized debt discount and debt issuance costs, was $1,221 million as of June 30, 2022 and $1,023 million as of December 31, 2021. As of June 30, 2022, Net Debt was $775 million compared to ~~loan the Company an aggregate~~Net Debt of $507 million as of December 31, 2021.

The October Note bears interest at~~senior secured tranche B-3 term loans borrowed during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and a rate of 0.14% per annum and is payable on the earlier of an Initial Business Combination or the liquidation of the Company. On October 20, 2020, the Company borrowed $1,500,000 pursuant to the October Note.

On October 6, 2020, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 75,000,000 Units at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $750,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the sale of 11,333,334 Private Placement Warrants to the Sponsor at a price of $1.50 per warrant, generating gross proceeds of $17,000,000.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we borrowed a principal amount of $200 million of senior secured tranche B-3 term loans under the Tranche B-3 Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility. Other than this, there has been no material change to our contractual obligations and commitments as compared to those disclosed in our Registration Statement.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in this Report are prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of consolidated financial statements also requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, costs and expenses and related disclosures. We ~~incurred $42,450,000 in transaction costs, including $15,000,000 of underwriting fees, $26,250,000 of deferred underwriting fees~~base our estimates on historical experience and ~~$1,200,000 of~~on various other ~~costs.~~

~~On November 10, 2020,~~assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the Company consummated the sale of 6,681,000 Over-Allotment Units pursuant to the underwriters’ partial exercise of their over-allotment option. Such Over-Allotment Units were sold at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $66,810,000. Substantially concurrently with the Over-Allotment Closing, the Company consummated the private sale of an additional 890,800 Private Placement Warrants at a purchase price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant to the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of $1,336,200. Following the Over-Allotment Closing, a total of $816,810,000, including approximately $28,588,350 of the underwriters’ deferred discount, was heldcircumstances.

In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with an Initial Business Combination, the initial shareholders or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required.

Changes in such ~~loaned amounts.~~ assumptions and estimates can have a significant impact on our consolidated statement of operations.

However, if our estimate of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence~~emerging growth company status and negotiating an Initial Business Combination are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, we may have insufficient funds available to operate our business prior to our Initial Business Combination. Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing either to complete our Initial Business Combination or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our Public Shares upon consummation of our Initial Business Combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such Initial Business Combination. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, we would only complete such financing simultaneously with the completion of our Initial Business Combination. If we are unable to complete our Initial Business Combination because we do not have sufficient funds available to us, we will be forced to cease operations and liquidate the Trust Account. In addition, following our Initial Business Combination, if cash on hand is insufficient, we may need to obtain additional financing in order to meet our obligations.

~~Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements~~

~~We did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as of September 30, 2020.~~

~~Contractual Obligations~~

We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities, other than an agreement to pay an affiliate of the Sponsor a monthly fee of $16,667 for office space, administrative and support servicessubject to the ~~Company. We began incurring these fees on October 2, 2020~~SEC’s internal control over financial reporting management and ~~will continue to incur these fees monthly for up to 27 months until~~auditor attestation requirements upon the earlier of (1) the ~~completion~~last day of the ~~Initial Business Combination and our liquidation.~~

~~Recent Accounting Standards~~

~~Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on our condensed financial statements.~~

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to market risks in the ordinary course of our business, which primarily relate to fluctuations in interest rates. Such fluctuations to date have not been significant.

Table of Contents

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors, including fiscal and monetary policies and domestic and international economic and political considerations, as well as other factors beyond our control. Interest rate risk is the exposure to loss resulting from changes in the level of interest rates and the spread between different interest rates. We are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates on debt, which bears interest at variable rates. Interest rate risk is highly sensitive due to many factors, including U.S. monetary and tax policies, U.S. and international economic factors and other factors beyond our control. Our debt has floating interest rates. We are exposed to changes in the level of interest rates and to changes in the relationship or spread between interest rates for our floating rate debt. We have interest rate risk primarily related to borrowings under the senior secured credit agreement, which bear interest at a variable rate tied to LIBOR or the applicable base rate plus a margin (subject to certain benchmark replacement provisions and certain interest rate floors, as applicable), and, during certain periods, the margin applicable to certain term loan facilities thereunder will be based on a pricing grid that varies with the total leverage ratio (calculated in a manner set forth in the senior secured credit agreement). Therefore, increases in interest rates may reduce our net income or increase our net loss by increasing the cost of debt. As of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020,~~2022, $1,221 million of senior secured term loans were outstanding under the senior secured credit agreement, net of unamortized debt discount and unamortized debt issuance costs, and no borrowings or letters of credit were outstanding under the senior secured revolving credit facility as of such date.

Based on the outstanding debt under the senior secured credit agreement as of June 30, 2022, and assuming that our mix of debt instruments and other variables remain unchanged, and excluding any impact of expected receipts or payments of cash flows resulting from any interest rate swap contract a hypothetical 100 basis points increase or decrease in LIBOR would have increased or decreased our interest expense by $12 million on an annualized basis. In February 2022, we entered into an interest rate swap for a notional amount of $600 million of debt for a period covering from March 2022 to March 2025 to hedge against any future increases in the benchmark rate for the senior secured tranche B-3 term loan facilities. The terms of such swap were ~~not~~initially linked to LIBOR as the benchmark rate, with an adjusted SOFR-based rate replacing LIBOR as the benchmark rate for such swap commencing in June 2023. In June 2022, we terminated this February 2022 interest rate swap contract and realized $23 million of cash simultaneously entering into a similar swap contract, with substantially the same terms and conditions, except the fixed interest rate component was changed. The interest rate swap is considered as an accounting hedge under ASC 815. As of June 30, 2022, we had recognized $10 million of derivative liability in our consolidated financial statements.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

Our results of operations and cash flows are subject to ~~any market or interest rate risk. Following the consummation of~~fluctuations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates relative to U.S. dollars, our ~~Initial Public Offering, the net proceeds of our Initial Public Offering, including amounts~~functional and reporting currency. Our revenue is generated primarily in U.S. dollars, British pounds sterling, and Euros. Our expenses are generally denominated in the ~~Trust Account, have been invested~~currency of the country in which our operations are located, which are primarily the U.S., Europe and Asia. Our functional currency is denominated in U.S. ~~government obligations with~~dollars. Our results of operations and cash flows are, therefore, subject to fluctuations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates in ways that are unrelated to our operating performance. As exchange rates may fluctuate significantly between periods, revenue and operating expenses, when converted into U.S. dollars, may also experience significant fluctuations between periods. As our revenues earned and expenses incurred in currencies other than U.S. dollars largely offset each other, fluctuations in the foreign currency exchange rates have not had a ~~maturity~~material impact on our financial results.

We do not engage in any foreign currency related hedging activities. We will continue to reassess our approach to managing risks relating to fluctuations in currency rates.

Nonetheless, if our costs were to become subject to significant inflationary pressures, we may not be able to fully offset such higher costs.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of ~~Proceeds.~~Proceeds

None.

On October 6, 2020, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 75,000,000 Units. The Units sold in the Initial Public Offering were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per unit, generating total gross proceeds of $750,000,000. Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC and Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC acted as joint bookrunners of the offering. The securities in the offering were registered under the Securities Act on the Registration Statement. The Securities and Exchange Commission declared the Registration Statement effective on October 1, 2020.

Simultaneous with the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the private placement of an aggregate of 11,333,334 Private Placement Warrants to APSG Sponsor, L.P. at a price of $1.50 per warrant, generating total proceeds of $17,000,000. The issuance was made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the warrants underlying the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering, except that the Private Placement Warrants are not transferable, assignable or salable until after the completion of an Initial Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions.

~~Of the gross proceeds received from the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement Warrants, $750,000,000 was placed in the Trust Account.~~

We paid a total of $15,000,000 in underwriting discounts and commissions and $1,200,000 for other costs and expenses related to the Initial Public Offering. In addition, the underwriters agreed to defer up to $26,250,000 (or $30,187,500 if the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised in full) in underwriting discounts and commissions.

On November 10, 2020, the Company consummated the sale of 6,681,000 Over-Allotment Units pursuant to the underwriters’ partial exercise of their over-allotment option. Such Over-Allotment Units were sold at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $66,810,000. Substantially concurrently with the Over-Allotment Closing, the Company consummated the private sale of an additional 890,800 Private Placement Warrants at a purchase price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant to the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of $1,336,200. Following the Over-Allotment Closing, a total of $816,810,000, including approximately $28,588,350 of the underwriters’ deferred discount, was held in the Trust Account.
