Warrants will be impacted by the same ratio upon exercise.

No fractional shares were issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. The Reverse Stock Split did not affect the number of authorized shares of Embark’s common stock, the par value of the common stock, the number of warrants issued and outstanding, or the exercise price of the warrants.
Liquidity and Capital Resources, and Ability of the Company to Continue as a Going Concern.
The Company has incurred losses from operations since inception. The Company incurred net losses of $63.1 million and $18.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and accumulated deficit amounts of $349.1 million and $286.1 million as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Net cash used in operating activities was $30.3 million and $18.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
The Company’s liquidity is based on its ability to enhance its operating cash flow position, obtain capital financing from equity interest investors, and borrow funds to fund its general operations, research and development activities and capital expenditures. As of March 31, 2021, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity through March2023 and December 31, 2021 relates to2022, the Company’s formation, initial public offering (“Initial Public Offering”), which is described below,balance of cash and subsequentcash equivalents was $126.2 million and $157.6 million, respectively. As Embark has not earned any revenue to date, it has financed its operations primarily through the Initial Public Offering, identifying a target company for a Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completionsale of a Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering.

The registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on January 12, 2021. On January 15, 2021, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 41,400,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the shares of common stock includedand preferred stock to fund operations, invest in research and development (“R&D”) and repay borrowings. Embark has explored and exhausted avenues following an extended evaluation by Embark of alternative markets in which to commercialize its technology, and with the lack of success in bringing Embark’s product to those markets, it will not generate revenues in the Units sold, the “Public Shares, which includes the full exercise by the underwriter of its over-allotment option in the amount of 5,400,000 Units, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $414,000,000, which is described in Note 3.

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 6,686,667 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant in a private placement to the Company’s sponsor, Northern Genesis Sponsor II LLC (the “Sponsor”), generating gross proceeds of $10,030,000, which is described in Note 4.

Transaction costs amounted to $23,221,415 consisting of $8,280,000 of underwriting fees, $14,490,000 of deferred underwriting feesnear future, and $451,415 of other offering costs.

Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering on January 15, 2021, an amount of $414,000,000 ($10.00 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants was placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) located in the United States and held as cash or invested only in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of 185 days or less or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund selected by the Company meeting the conditions of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the funds in the Trust Account, as described below.

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. There is no assurance that the Company willmay not be able to completeraise additional financing on terms that are favorable, or at all. As such, Embark believes that its operating losses and negative operating cash flows will continue into the foreseeable future requiring Embark to explore strategic alternatives. These conditions and events raise substantial doubt about Embark’s ability to continue as a Business Combination successfully. The Company must completegoing concern.

In response to these conditions, as part of management’s plans, on March 1, 2023, the Board approved a Business Combination having an aggregate fair market valueprocess to explore, review and evaluate a range of at least 80%potential strategic alternatives, including, without limitation, exploring alternative uses of theEmbark’s assets held in the Trust Account (excluding the deferred underwriting commissionsto commercialize its technology, additional sources of financing, as well as potential dissolution or winding up of Embark and taxes payableliquidation of its assets. In addition, on income earned on the Trust Account) at the timeMarch 3, 2023, Embark announced a workforce restructuring plan and initiated a workforce reduction of the agreement to enter into an initial Business Combination. The Company intends to only complete a Business Combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not toapproximately 230 employees. Management’s plan cannot be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”).

The Company will provide its holders of the outstanding Public Shares (the “public stockholders”) with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of a Business Combination either (i) in connection with a stockholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek stockholder approval of a Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion. The public stockholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account (initially anticipated to be $10.00 per Public Share, plus any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Accountconsidered probable and not previously released to the Company to pay its tax obligations). There will be no redemption rights upon the completion of a Business Combination with respect to the Company’s warrants.

The Company will proceed with a Business Combination if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 immediately prior to or upon such consummation of a Business Combination and, if the Company seeks stockholder approval, if a majority of the then outstanding shares of common stock present and entitled to vote at the meeting to approve the business combination (or such greater number as may be required by applicable law or the rules of any applicable national securities exchange) are voted in favor of the Business Combination. If a stockholder vote is not required by law and the Companythus does not decidealleviate the substantial doubt about Embark’s ability to hold a stockholder vote for business or other legal reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation”), conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and file tender offer documents with the SEC containing substantially the same information as would be included in a proxy statement prior to completing a Business Combination. If, however, stockholder approval of the transaction is required by law, or the Company decides to obtain stockholder approval for business or legal reasons, the Company will offer to redeem shares in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules and not pursuant to the tender offer rules. If the Company seeks stockholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor has agreed to vote its Founder Shares (as defined in Note 5) and any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering in favor of approving a Business Combination. Additionally, each public stockholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed transaction or do not vote at all.

Notwithstanding the above, if the Company seeks stockholder approval of a Business Combination and it does not conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules, the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that a public stockholder, together with any affiliate of such stockholder or any other person with whom such stockholder is acting in concert orcontinue as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), will be restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% or more of the Public Shares, without the prior consent of the Company.

going concern.

The Sponsor and the Company’s officers, directors and director nominees will agree (a) to waive redemption rights with respect to the Founder Shares and Public Shares held by them in connection with the completion of a Business Combination and (b) not to propose an amendment to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (i) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with the Company’s initial Business Combination and certain amendments to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or to redeem 100% of its Public Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination or (ii) with respect to any other provisions that specifically apply only to the period prior to the consummation of our initial business combination, unless the Company provides the public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares in conjunction with any such amendment.

The Company will have until January 15, 2023 to complete a Business Combination (the “Combination Period”). If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and stockholders do not approve an amendment to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to extend this date, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account including interest (which interest shall be net of taxes payable, and less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining stockholders and the Company’s board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) to the Company’s obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to the Company’s warrants, which will expire worthless if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period.

The holders of the Founder Shares will agree to waive liquidation rights with respect to such shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if the Sponsor acquires Public Shares in or after the Initial Public Offering, such Public Shares will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. The underwriters have agreed to waive their rights to their deferred underwriting commission (see Note 6) held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and, in such event, such amounts will be included with the other funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the Public Shares. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the assets remaining available for distribution will be less than the Initial Public Offering price per Unit ($10.00).

In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor will agree to be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a vendor for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below (i) $10.00 per Public Share or (ii) such lesser amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account due to reductions in the value of trust assets, in each case net of the interest which may be withdrawn to pay the Company’s tax obligation and up to $100,000 for liquidation excepts, except as to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account (even if such waiver is deemed to be unenforceable) and except as to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Moreover, in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third-party claims. The Company will seek to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers, prospective target businesses or other entities with which the Company does business, execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Risks and Uncertainties

Management is currently evaluating 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, close of the Initial Public Offering, and/or search for a target company, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of these financial statements. Thecondensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the SEC. Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented.

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s prospectus for its Initial Public Offering as filed with the SEC on January 14, 2021, as well as the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K, as filed with the SEC on January 19, 2021. The interim results for the three months ended March 31, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2021 or for any future periods.

Emerging Growth Company

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the 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 stockholdershareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that 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 statementstatements with another public company whichthat is neithereither a) not an emerging growth company noror b) 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.

2.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Use of Estimates

The preparation of the condensed financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company’s management to make certain estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dateas of the financial statements and thebalance sheet date, as well as reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

Making

The Company’s most significant estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible thatand judgments involve the estimateuseful lives of long-lived assets, the recoverability and impairment of long-lived assets, the incremental borrowing rate (“IBR”) applied in lease accounting, the capitalization of software development costs, the valuation of the effectCompany’s stock-based compensation, including the valuation of a condition, situation or setwarrants to purchase the Company’s stock and the valuation allowance for income taxes. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions believed to be reasonable, the results of circumstances that existed atwhich form the datebasis for making judgments about the carrying values of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actualassets and liabilities. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

Cash, and Cash Equivalents

and Restricted Cash

The Company considers all short-termhighly liquid investments purchased with an original maturitymaturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company did not have any cash equivalents asAs of March 31, 20212023 and December 31, 2020.

Marketable Securities Held2022, the Company had $126.2 million and $157.6 million of cash and cash equivalents, respectively.

The Company maintains letters of credit to secure leases of the Company’s offices and facilities. A portion of the Company’s cash is collateralized in Trust Account

Atconjunction with the letter of credit and is classified as restricted cash on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of March 31, 20212023 and December 31, 2020, substantially all2022, the Company had $0.9 million and $0.9 million in restricted cash, respectively. The Company determines short-term or long-term classification based on the expected duration of the assets heldrestriction.

The reconciliation of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and cash equivalents to amounts presented in the Trust Account were held in money market funds which are invested primarily in U.S. Treasury securities.

Warrant Liability

The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”) and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own ordinary shares, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding.

For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of the warrants are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on thecondensed consolidated statements of operations. The fair valuecash flows are as follows (in thousands):

Income Taxes

The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position. The Company is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception. The effective tax rate differs from the statutory tax rate of 21% for the three months ended March 31, 2021, due to the valuation allowance recorded on the Company’s net operating losses and permanent differences.

Net income per Common Share

Net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, excluding shares of common stock subject to forfeiture. The Company has not considered the effect of the warrants sold in the Initial Public Offering and private placement to purchase an aggregate of 20,486,667 shares in the calculation of diluted loss per share, since the exercise of the warrants are contingent upon the occurrence of future events and the inclusion of such warrants would be anti-dilutive.

The Company’s statement of operations includes a presentation of income (loss) per share for common stock subject to possible redemption in a manner similar to the two-class method of income (loss) per share. Net income (loss) per common share, basic and diluted, for common stock subject to possible redemption is calculated by dividing the proportionate share of income or loss on marketable securities held by the Trust Account by the weighted average number of common stock subject to possible redemption outstanding since original issuance.

Net income (loss) per share, basic and diluted, for non-redeemable common stock is calculated by dividing the net income (loss), adjusted for income or loss on marketable securities attributable to common stock subject to possible redemption, by the weighted average number of non-redeemable common stock outstanding for the period.

Non-redeemable common stock includes Founder Shares and non-redeemable shares of common stock as these shares do not have any redemption features. Non-redeemable common stock participates in the income or loss on marketable securities based on non-redeemable shares’ proportionate interest.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution, which, at times may exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Coverage of $250,000. The Company has not experienced losses on these accounts.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair valueCompany’s financial instruments consist of the Company’scash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses, short-term and long-term notes payable and other current liabilities. The assets and liabilities which qualify asthat were measured at fair value on a recurring basis are cash equivalents and warrant liabilities. The Company believes that the carrying values of the remaining financial instruments underapproximate their fair values. The Company applies fair value accounting in accordance with ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying condensed balance sheets, primarily due to their short-term nature.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair for valuation of financial instruments. ASC 820 provides a framework for measuring fair value is defined as the priceunder GAAP that would be received for sale of an asset or paid for transfer of a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAPexpands disclosures about fair value measurements, establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizesand requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs used inand minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjustedare summarized as follows:

Level 1 — Fair value is based on observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). These tiers include:

Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical instruments in active markets;
Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instrumentsin active markets.
Level 2 — Fair value is determined using quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; and
Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

In some circumstances, the inputs used to measure fair value might be categorized within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In those instances, the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives in accordance with ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrumentnot active or are directly or indirectly observable.

Level 3 — Fair value is initially recorded at its fair value on the grant date and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changesdetermined using one or more significant inputs that are unobservable in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluatedactive markets at the end of each reporting period. Derivative liabilities are classified in the balance sheetmeasurement date, such as currentan option pricing model, discounted cash flow, or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement or conversion of the instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

Recent Accounting Standards

In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-06, Debt — Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) (“ASU 2020-06”) to simplify accounting for certain financial instruments. ASU 2020-06 eliminates the current models that require separation of beneficial conversion and cash conversion features from convertible instruments and simplifies the derivative scope exception guidance pertaining to equity classification of contracts in an entity’s own equity. The new standard also introduces additional disclosures for convertible debt and freestanding instruments that are indexed to and settled in an entity’s own equity. ASU 2020-06 amends the diluted earnings per share guidance, including the requirement to use the if-converted method for all convertible instruments. ASU 2020-06 is effective January 1, 2022 and should be applied on a full or modified retrospective basis, with early adoption permitted beginning on January 1, 2021. The Company is currently assessing the impact, if any, that ASU 2020-06 would have on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s condensed financial statements.

Public Warrants (as defined in Note 3) and Private Placement Warrants (collectively, with the Public Warrants, the “Warrants”)
As part of NGA’s initial public offering on October 13, 2020, NGA issued in connection with its Initial Public Offering as components of equity instead of as derivative liabilities. The warrant agreement governing the Warrants includes a provision that provides for potential changes to the settlement amounts dependent upon the characteristics of the holder of the warrant. In Addition, the warrant agreement includes a provision that in the event of a tender offer or exchange offer made to and accepted by holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares of a single class of stock, all holders of the Warrants would be entitled to receive cash for their Warrants (the “tender offer provision”).

On April 12, 2021, the Acting Director of the Division of Corporation Finance and Acting Chief Accountant of the Securities and Exchange Commission together issued a statement regarding the accounting and reporting considerations for warrants issued by special purpose acquisition companies entitled “Staff Statement on Accounting and Reporting Considerations for Warrants Issued by Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (“SPACs”)” (the “SEC Statement”). Specifically, the SEC Staff Statement focused on certain settlement terms and provisions related to certain tender offers following a business combination, which terms are similar to those contained in the warrant agreement (the “Warrant Agreement”).

In further consideration of the SEC Staff Statement, the Company’s management further evaluated the Warrants under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Subtopic 815-40, Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity. ASC Section 815-40-15 addresses equity versus liability treatment and classification of equity-linked financial instruments, including warrants, and states that a warrant may be classified as a component of equity only if, among other things, the warrant is indexed to the issuer’s common stock. Under ASC Section 815-40-15, a warrant is not indexed to the issuer’s common stock if the terms of the warrant require an adjustment to the exercise price upon a specified event and that event is not an input to the fair value of the warrant. Based on management’s evaluation, the Company’s audit committee, in consultation with management, concluded that the Company’s Private Placement Warrants are not indexed to the Company’s common stock in the manner contemplated by ASC Section 815-40-15 because the holder of the instrument is not an input into the pricing of a fixed-for-fixed option on equity shares. In addition, based on management’s evaluation, the Company’s audit committee, in consultation with management, concluded that the tender offer provision fails the “classified in stockholders’ equity” criteria as contemplated by ASC Section 815-40-25.

As a result of the above, the Company should have classified the Warrants as derivative liabilities in its previously issued balance sheet as of January 15, 2021. Under this accounting treatment, the Company is required to measure the fair value of the Warrants at the end of each reporting period as well as re-evaluate the treatment of the warrants and recognize changes in the fair value from the prior period in the Company’s operating results for the current period.

The Company’s accounting for the Warrants as components of equity instead of as derivative liabilities did not have any effect on the Company’s previously reported investments held in trust or cash. The following table summarizes the effect of the restatement on each financial statement line items as of January 15, 2021.

NOTE 3. PUBLIC OFFERING

Pursuant to the Initial Public Offering, the Company sold 41,400,000 Units, which includes a full exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option in the amount of 5,400,000 Units, at a price of $10.00 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one share of common stock and one-third of one redeemable warrant redeemable warrant (“Public Warrant”). Each whole Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment (see Note 8). 

NOTE 4. PRIVATE PLACEMENT

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 6,686,667 Private Placement Warrants, at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant, for an aggregate purchase price of $10,030,000, from the Company in a private placement. Each Private Placement Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one share of common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment (see Note 8). The proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants were added to the net proceeds from the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants held in the Trust Account will be used to fund the redemption of the Public Shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law) and the Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless.

NOTE 5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Founder Shares

On October 2, 2020, the Sponsor paid $25,000 to cover certain offering costs of the Company in consideration of 8,625,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Founder Shares”). On January 12, 2021, the Company effected a stock dividend of 0.2 shares for each founder share outstanding, resulting in 10,350,000 shares of common stock outstanding. All share and per-share amounts have been retroactively restated to reflect the stock dividend. As a result of the underwriters’ election to fully exercise their over-allotment option, a total of 1,350,000 Founder Shares are no longer subject to forfeiture.

The Sponsor will agree, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer title to any of the Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of: (A) one year after the completion of a Business Combination or (B) subsequent to a Business Combination, (x) if the last sale price of the Company’s common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after a Business Combination, or (y) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of the Company’s stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property. 

Administrative Services Agreement

The Company entered into an agreement, commencing on January 12, 2021, pursuant to which the Company will pay an affiliate of the Sponsor a total of up to $10,000 per month for office space, utilities, secretarial support and administrative services. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company incurred and paid $30,000 in fees for these services, of which such amount is included in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the accompanying balance sheet.

Due from Sponsor

At the closing of the Initial Public Offering on January 15, 2021, a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants in the amount of $1,080,000 was due to the Company to be held outside of the Trust Account for working capital purposes. Such amount was paid by the Sponsor to the Company on January 18, 2021.

Promissory Note — Related Party

On September 25, 2020, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note to the Sponsor (the “Promissory Note”), pursuant to which the Company may borrow up to an aggregate principal amount of $150,000. The Promissory Note is non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of (i) June 30, 2021, (ii) the consummation of the Initial Public Offering or (iii) the abandonment of the Initial Public Offering. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there was $0 and $117,917, respectively, outstanding under the Promissory Note.

Related Party Loans

In order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or the Company’s officers, directors and director nominees or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). Such Working Capital Loans would be evidenced by promissory notes. The notes may be repaid upon completion of a Business Combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $3,000,000 of the notes may be converted into warrants at a price of $1.50 per warrant (“Working Capital Warrants”). Such Working Capital Warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. 

NOTE 6. COMMITMENTS

Registration Rights

Pursuant to a registration rights agreement entered into on January 12, 2021, the holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and any Working Capital Warrants that may be issued upon conversion of the Working Capital Loans (and any shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants or Working Capital Warrants) will be entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement requiring the Company to register such securities for resale. The holders of these securities will be entitled to make up to four demands, excluding short form demands, 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 completion of a Business Combination and rights to require the Company to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. The registration rights agreement does not contain liquidating damages or other cash settlement provisions resulting from delays in registering the Company’s securities. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Underwriting Agreement

The underwriters are entitled to a deferred fee of 3.5% of the gross proceeds of the Initial Public Offering, or $14,490,000. The deferred fee will be payable in cash to the underwriters solely in the event that the Company completes a Business Combination from the amounts held in the Trust Account, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

Forward Purchase Agreement

On January 8, 2021. the Company entered into the forward purchase agreement (the “Forward Purchase Agreement”) with Northern Genesis Capital LLC (the “forward purchase investor”), pursuant to which, if the Company determines to raise capital by issuing equity securities in connection with the closing of its initial business combination, the forward purchase investor, an entity which is affiliated with the Company’s Sponsor, agreed and has the first right to purchase, subject to certain conditions, in an aggregate maximum amount of $75,000,000 of either (i) a number ofthird party investors 41.4 million units, (the “forward purchase units”), consisting of one share of Class A common stock (the “forward purchase shares”)of NGA and one-sixthone-third of one redeemablewarrant, at a price of $10.00 per unit. Each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Class A common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per warrant (the “forward“Public Warrants”). Further, NGA completed the private sale of 6.7 million warrants to NGA's sponsor at a purchase warrants”), for $10.00price of $1.50 per unitwarrant (the “Private Placement Warrants” or (ii) a“Private Warrants”). Following the effectiveness of the Reverse Stock Split on August 16, 2022, the Public and Private Warrants were impacted by the same ratio upon exercise. The Reverse Stock Split did not affect the number of forward purchase shares for $9.75 per share (such forward purchase shares valued at $9.75 per share or the forward purchase units, as the case may be, the “forward purchase securities”), in a private placement that would close simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Business Combination. The forward purchase warrants would have the same terms as the Public Warrants and the forward purchase shares would be identical to the shares of common stock included in the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering, except the forward purchase shares and the forward purchase warrants would be subject to transfer restrictions and certain registration rights. The funds from the sale of the forward purchase securities may be used as part of the consideration to the sellers in the initial Business Combination and for expenses in connection with an initial Business Combination, and any excess funds may be used for the working capital needs of the post-transaction company.

The forward purchase transaction is not dependent upon or affected by the percentage of stockholders electing to redeem their Public Shares and may provide the Company with an increased minimum funding level for the initial Business Combination. The forward purchase transaction is subject to conditions, including the forward purchase investor giving the Company its irrevocable written confirmation, confirming its commitment to purchase forward purchase securities and the amount thereof, no later than fifteen days after the Company notifies it of the Company’s intention to raise capital through the issuance of equity securities in connection with the closing of an initial Business Combination. The forward purchase investor may grant or withhold its consent and confirmation entirely within its sole discretion. Accordingly, if the forward purchase investor does not consent to and confirm the purchase, it will not be obligated to purchase any of the forward purchase securities. (See Note 10 for a description of the amended and restated Forward Purchase Agreements that occurred subsequent to March 31, 2021).

NOTE 7. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Preferred Stock The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share with such designation, rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Company’s board of directors. At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there were no shares of preferred stock issued or outstanding.

Common Stock — The Company is authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Holders of common stock are entitled to one vote for each share. At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there were 14,596,248 shares and 10,350,000 of common stock issued and outstanding excluding 37,153,752 and -0- shares of common stock subject to possible redemption, respectively.

NOTE 8. WARRANT LIABILITY

Warrants — Public Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares. No fractional warrants will be issued upon separation of the Units and only whole warrants will trade. The Public Warrants will become exercisable on the later of (a) 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination or (b) 12 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering. The Public Warrants will expire five years after the completion of a Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

The Company will not be obligated to deliver any shares of common stock pursuant to the exercise of a warrant and will have no obligation to settle such warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the shares of common stock underlying the warrants is then effective and a prospectus relating thereto is current, subject to the Company satisfying its obligations with respect to registration. No warrant will be exercisable and the Company will not be obligated to issue any shares of common stock upon exercise of a warrant unless common stock issuable upon such warrant exercise has been registered, qualified or deemed to be exempt under the securities laws of the state of residence of the registered holder of the warrants.

The Company has agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15 days, after the closing of a Business Combination, it will use its best efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement for the registration under the Securities Act of the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants and thereafter 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 warrants in accordance with the provisions of the warrant agreement. Notwithstanding the above, if the Company’s common stock is 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 Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, the Company may, at its option, 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, but it will be required to use its best efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available.

Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the Public Warrants:

in whole and not in part;
at a price of $0.01 per warrant;
upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption to each warrant holder; and
if, and only if, the reported last sale price of the common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like), for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading day period commencing once the warrants become exercisable and ending commencing once the warrants become exercisable and ending three business days before the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders

If and when the warrants become redeemable by the Company, the Company may exercise its redemption right even if it is unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws. If the Company calls the Public Warrants for redemption, management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise the Public Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis,” as described in the warrant agreement.

The exercise price and number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a stock dividend, or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, the warrants will not be adjusted for issuance of common stock at a price below its exercise price. Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the warrants. If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and the Company liquidates the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of warrants will not receive any of such funds with respect to their warrants, nor will they receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with the respect to such warrants. Accordingly, the warrants may expire worthless.

In addition, if (x) the Company issues additional common stock or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of a Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per share of common stock (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by the Company’s board of directors and, in the case of any such issuance to the Sponsor or its affiliates, without taking into account any Founder Shares held by the Sponsor or such affiliates, as applicable, prior to such issuance) (the “Newly Issued Price”), (y) the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent more than 60% of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available for the funding of a Business Combination on the date of the consummation of a Business Combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of the common stock during the 10 trading day period starting on the trading day prior the day on which the Company consummates a Business Combination (such price, the “Market Value”) is below $9.20 per share, then the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted (towarrants. Each whole warrant is now exercisable for 1/20th of one share of Class A common stock at $11.50 per warrant.

NOTE 9. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS 

The Company followsevaluated the Public and Private Warrants under ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity's Own Equity, and concluded that they do not meet the criteria to be classified in stockholders' equity. Since the Public and Private Warrants meet the definition of a derivative under ASC 815, the Company recorded these warrants as liabilities on the balance sheet at fair value upon the closing of the Business Combination, with subsequent changes in their respective fair values recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) at each reporting date.

Property, Equipment and Software
Property, equipment and software is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Depreciation and amortization are recorded on a straight-line basis over each asset’s estimated useful life.

Furniture and fixtures7 years
Leases
The Company determines if a contract contains a lease at inception of the arrangement based on whether the Company has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of an identified asset and whether the Company has the right to direct the use of an identified asset in exchange for consideration, which relates to an asset which the Company does not own. Right of use (“ROU”) assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets are recognized as the lease liability, adjusted for lease incentives received. Lease liabilities are recognized at the present value of the future lease payments at the lease commencement date. The interest rate used to determine the present value of the future lease payments is the Company’s IBR, because the interest rate implicit in most of its leases is not readily determinable. The IBR is a hypothetical rate based on the Company’s understanding of what its credit rating would be to borrow and resulting interest we would pay to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment over the lease term on a collateralized basis. Lease payments may be fixed or variable; however, only fixed payments or in-substance fixed payments are included in the Company’s lease liability calculation. Variable lease payments may include costs such as common area maintenance, utilities, real estate taxes or other costs. Variable lease payments are recognized in operating expenses in the period in which the obligation for those payments are incurred.
Operating leases are included in operating lease ROU assets, operating lease liabilities, current and operating lease liabilities, non-current on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. For operating leases, lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis in operations over the lease term. The Company elected the practical expedient not to separate non-lease components from lease components, therefore, the Company accounts for lease and non-lease components as a single lease component. The Company also elected the short-term lease recognition practical expedient for all leases that qualify.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment annually, or whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be fully recoverable. The Company assesses the recoverability of these assets by comparing the carrying amount of such assets or asset group to the future undiscounted cash flows it expects the assets or asset group to generate. The Company recognizes an impairment loss if the sum of the expected long-term discounted cash flows that the long-lived asset is expected to generate is less than the carrying amount of the long-lived asset being evaluated. The Company analyzed its long-lived assets for impairment and recorded a $23.3 million impairment charge related to property and equipment and its right-of-use assets in its condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2023.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method, under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.
A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. Due to the Company’s lack of earnings history, the net deferred tax assets have been fully offset by a valuation allowance as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Uncertain tax positions taken or expected

to be taken in a tax return are accounted for using the more likely than not threshold for financial statement recognition and measurement.
Stock-based Compensation
Stock-based compensation expense related to stock option awards, restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and performance stock units (“PSUs”) granted to employees, directors and non-employees are accounted for based on estimated grant-date fair values. For stock option awards and RSUs with service conditions, the Company uses the straight-line method to recognize compensation expense over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period, and estimates the fair value of share-based awards using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Black-Scholes model requires the input of subjective assumptions, including expected volatility, expected dividend yield, expected term, risk-free rate of return and the stock price of the underlying common shares on the date of grant. The fair value of each RSU is based on the fair value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. Stock-based compensation for RSUs granted with a performance condition is recognized on a graded vesting basis. Stock-based compensation tor PSUs, is recognized on a graded vesting basis, as the PSUs are associated with market conditions over the holder’s derived service period. The fair value of the PSUs are estimated using the Monte Carlo simulation. The Company accounts for the effect of forfeitures as they occur.
Internal Use Software
The Company capitalizes certain costs associated with creating and enhancing internally developed software for the Company’s technology infrastructure and such costs are recorded within property, equipment and software, net. These costs include personnel and related employee benefit expenses for employees directly associated with and who devote time to software development projects. Software development costs that do not qualify for capitalization are expensed as incurred and recorded in research and development expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Software development activities typically consist of three stages: (1) the planning phase; (2) the application and infrastructure development stage; and (3) the post implementation stage. Costs incurred in the planning and post implementation phases, including costs associated with training and repairs and maintenance of the developed technologies, are expensed as incurred. The Company capitalizes costs associated with software developed when the preliminary project stage is completed, management implicitly or explicitly authorizes and commits to funding the project and it is probable that the project will be completed and perform as intended. Costs incurred in the application and infrastructure development phases, including significant enhancements and upgrades, are capitalized. Capitalization ends once a project is substantially complete, and the software is ready for its intended purpose. Software development costs are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life, commencing when the software is ready for its intended use. The straight-line recognition method approximates the manner in which the expected benefit will be derived. Internal use software is tested for impairment in accordance with the Company’s long- lived assets impairment policy.
In March 2023, the Company ceased further development of its capitalized software in line with its restructuring decision. The Company analyzed its internal use software and recorded a full impairment of the asset for $11.2 million in its condensed consolidated statements of operations for the time period for the three months ended March 31, 2023.
Research and Development Expense
Research and development expense consist of outsourced engineering services, allocated facilities costs, depreciation, internal engineering and development expenses, materials, labor, and stock-based compensation related to development of the Company’s products and services. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred except for amounts capitalized to internal-use software if applicable.
General, and Administrative Expenses
General, and administrative expense consist of personnel costs, allocated facilities expenses, depreciation and amortization, travel, and business development costs.

Restructuring Costs
In March 2023, the Company initiated a reduction in workforce restructuring plan and simultaneously proceeded with potential liquidation of its assets. As a result of this workforce reduction initiative, the Company incurred $9.5 million in employee severance pay and related costs during the three months ended March 31, 2023. The Company is expected to implement further reductions in workforce as a part its restructuring plan in the near future.
Change in fair value of warrant liability
Change in fair value of warrant liability represents the change in fair value of Public, Private, Working Capital and Forward Purchase Agreement (“FPA”) Warrants. For each reporting period, Embark will determine the fair value of the warrant liability, and record a corresponding non-cash benefit or non-cash charge, due to a decrease or increase in fair value, respectively, of the calculated warrant liability.
Other Income
The Company has subleased office space to a third party, as a result of the sublease arrangements, the company has earned rental income which is included as a part of other income. The Company had also received consideration from certain arrangements related to truck transfer services resulting from research and development activities, this has also been presented as other income in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations.
Interest Income
Interest income primarily consists of investment and interest income from marketable securities, long- term investments and the Company’s cash and cash equivalents.
Interest Expense
Interest expense consisted primarily of interest on the Company’s various truck financing arrangements.

Net Loss Per Share
Prior to the Merger and prior to effecting the recapitalization, the Company had one class of common stock. Subsequent to the Merger, the Company has two classes of common stock: Class A common stock and Class B common stock. The rights of the holders of Class A common stock and Class B common stock are identical, including the liquidation and dividend rights, except with respect to electing members of the Board of Directors and voting rights. As the liquidation and dividend rights are identical, undistributed earnings and losses are allocated on a proportionate basis and the resulting net loss per share attributable to common stockholders are the same for both Class A common stock and Class B common stock on an individual and combined basis.
Basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is presented in conformity with the two-class method required for participating securities. Net loss is attributed to common stockholders and participating securities based on their participation rights. Net loss attributable to common stockholders is not allocated to the redeemable convertible preferred stock as the holders of the redeemable convertible preferred stock do not have a contractual obligation to share in any losses. No dividends were declared or paid for three months ended March 31, 2023. No preferred stock was outstanding as of March 31, 2023.
Under the two-class method, basic net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.
Diluted earnings per share attributable to common stockholders adjusts basic earnings per share for the potentially dilutive impact of redeemable convertible preferred stock, stock options, and warrants. As the Company has reported losses for all periods presented, all potentially dilutive securities including preferred stock, stock options, and warrants, are antidilutive and accordingly, basic net loss per share equals diluted net loss per share.

Comprehensive Loss
Comprehensive loss is defined as the total change in stockholders’ equity during the period other than from transactions with stockholders. Comprehensive loss consists of net loss and other comprehensive loss. Other comprehensive loss is comprised of unrealized losses on investments classified as available-for-sale.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which requires lessees to recognize leases on-balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. The Company adopted “ASC 842” on January 1, 2022, using the modified retrospective transition method, specifically the "Comparatives under ASC 840 approach", and used the effective date as the date of initial application. The Company elected the “package of practical expedients,” which permits Embark not to reassess under ASC 842 its prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. The Company also elected the use of hindsight in determining the lease term and in assessing impairment of the entity’s right-of-use assets. Upon adoption of the new leasing standard on January 1, 2022, the Company recognized right-of-use assets of $4.4 million and lease liabilities of $4.5 million, respectively, which are related to its various operating leases. The difference between the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities is primarily attributed to the elimination of deferred rent. There was no adjustment to the opening balance of accumulated deficit as a result of the adoption of ASC 842.
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. The adoption of ASU 2019-12 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2022. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact to its financial statements.
In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04, Modification of equity-classified written call options. ASU 2021-04 provides clarification and reduces diversity in an issuer’s accounting for certain modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options, such as warrants, that remain equity classified after modification or exchange. The adoption of ASU 2021-04 was effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2022. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact to its financial statements.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
As an emerging growth company (“EGC”), the JOBS Act allows the Company to delay adoption of new or revised accounting pronouncements applicable to public companies until such pronouncements are applicable to private companies. The Company has elected to use this extended transition period under the JOBS Act until such time the Company is no longer considered to be an EGC. The adoption dates discussed below reflect this election.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326):Measurement of Credit Losses of Financial Instruments, which, together with subsequent amendments, amends the requirement on the measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held. ASU 2016-13 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2023, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the effects of this pronouncement on the Company’s financial statements and does not expect it to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. There was no impact to the Company's consolidated financial statements as a result of adopting this standard on January 1, 2023.
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815- 40): Accounting for convertible instruments and contracts in an entity’s own equity. The ASU simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing certain separation models required under current GAAP. The ASU also removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception, and it revises the guidance in ASC 820260, Earnings Per Share, to require entities to calculate diluted earnings per share for convertible instruments by using the if-converted method. The amendments are effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2024, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial assetsstatements.

In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-03 to clarify the guidance on the fair value measurement of an equity security that is subject to a contractual sale restriction, and liabilitiesrequire specific disclosures for equity securities that are re-measuredsubject to such restrictions. The amendments are effective in periods beginning after December 15, 2023 and reported at fairinterim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.
In September 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-04, "Liabilities - Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50)." ASU 2022-04 is intended to establish disclosures that enhance the transparency of a supplier finance program used by an entity in connection with the purchase of goods and services. Supplier finance programs, which also may be referred to as reverse factoring, payables finance or structured payables arrangements, allow a buyer to offer its suppliers the option for access to payment in advance of an invoice due date, which is paid by a third-party finance provider or intermediary. Under the guidance, a buyer in a supplier finance program would disclose qualitative and quantitative information about its supplier finance programs. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years, except for the amendment on roll forward information, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance.

In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). hierarchy.
The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assetsof the above liability classified Public, Private, Working Capital and liabilitiesFPA Warrants have been measured based on the observable inputslisted market price of such warrants on November 10, 2021. The FPA warrants and unobservable inputs used in order to valuePublic Warrants were valued using the assets and liabilities:

Level 1:Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
Level 2:Observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs. Examplespublic price as of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
Level 3:Unobservable inputs based on our assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

The following table presents information about the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at March 31, 2021,2023 and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value:

The warrant liabilities are measured at fair value at inception and on a recurring basis, with changes in fair value presented within change in fair value of warrant liabilities in the consolidated statement of operations.

The Private Warrants were initially valued using a Modifiedthe Black Scholes Option Pricing Model which is considered to beas of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company recognized income in the condensed consolidated statement of operations resulting from a Level 3 fair value measurement. The Modified Black Scholes model’s primary unobservable input utilizedchange in determining the fair value of warrants of approximately $28,000, presented as other income (expense) on the Private Warrantsaccompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations.

5.RESTRUCTURING COSTS AND IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS
In March 2023, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) approved a process to explore, review and evaluate a range of potential strategic alternatives available to the Company, including, without limitation, exploring alternative uses of the Company’s assets to commercialize its technology, additional sources of financing, as well as potential dissolution or winding up of the Company and liquidation of its assets.
Restructuring costs
On March 3, 2023, Embark announced a workforce restructuring plan and initiated a workforce reduction of approximately 230 employees. The Company incurred $9.5 million in employee severance pay and related costs during the three months ended March 31, 2023.
Impairment of long-lived assets
The Company reviewed its long-lived assets for impairment following Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 360 for Property, Plant, and Equipment. The Company tested its long-lived assets for recoverability due to changes in circumstances that indicated that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable.
Following Board’s decision to explore alternative uses of the Company’s assets, the process of winding up Embark operations begun while continuing to explore the sale to a strategic buyer and the liquidation of the Company. Contemporaneous with the wind up process, the Company began the process of selling its long-lived assets and stopped the development of its capitalized internal use software as part of the process of reducing the Company’s footprint following a reduction in force on March 3, 2023. As of March 31, 2023, no decision was made as to whether the Company will be liquidated or sold to a strategic buyer.
The Company reviewed its property and equipment related assets for impairment by comparing the carrying values of the assets with their estimated future undiscounted cash flows. Impairment charge was calculated as the difference between asset carrying values and fair value as determined by prices of similar items, indicative fair market quotes received which are considered level three fair value estimates.
The Company analyzed its right-of used assets for impairment based on fair values calculated as discounted cash flows estimated to be received from the lease assets where applicable. The difference between fair value and carrying value of the right of use asset was recognized as an impairment in March 2023.

The Company determined the FPA, Public, Private and Working Capital warrants to be classified as a liability and fair valued the warrants on the issuance date using the publicly available price for the warrants, of $41.2 million. The fair value of the FPA and Public warrants are remeasured as of the reporting date with the change in value reflected as part of other income (expense).

The fair value of $0.4 million of Private and Working Capital warrants was determined using the Black-Scholes option valuation dates was impliedmodel using the following assumptions for values as of March 31, 2023:

Risk – free interest rate3.75%
Expected term (in years)3.61
Expected dividend yield0%
Expected volatility123.7%
The Company estimates the volatility of its warrants based on a combination of volatility from the Company’s own publictraded warrants and from historical volatility of select peer company’s common stock that matches the expected remaining life of the warrants. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury zero-coupon yield curve on the grant date for a maturity similar to the expected remaining life of the warrants. The expected life of the warrants is assumed to be equivalent to their remaining contractual term. The dividend rate is based on the historical rate, which the Company anticipates remaining at zero.

Reverse Stock Split
Following the Reverse Stock Split effectiveness on August 16, 2022, warrants will be impacted by the same ratio upon exercise. The Reverse Stock Split did not affect the number of warrants issued and outstanding or the exercise price of the warrants. Each whole warrant pricing.exercisable is now for 1/20th share of Class A Monte Carlo simulation methodology was usedcommon stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per warrant.
8.STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION EXPENSE
Stock Option Plan

The Company terminated the 2016 Stock Plan, provided that the outstanding awards previously granted under the 2016 Plan continue to remain outstanding under the 2016 Plan. Under the 2021 Plan, as of March 31, 2023, the Company has authorized the issuance of a maximum number of 4,807,138 shares of Class A common stock, with annual increases that began on January 1, 2022 and ending on and including January 1, 2031 of 5% of the aggregate number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding on the last day of the preceding calendar year.

Table of Contents
Embark Trucks adopted the 2016 Stock Plan in October 2016 (the “2016 Plan”). The 2016 Plan authorized the grant of incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, and restricted stock awards to employees, directors, and consultants. The 2016 Plan also initially reserved 993,542 shares of common stock for issuance and designated forfeited option shares to be returned to the option reserve.

As of March 31, 2023, the Company had registered 3,937,824 shares to be reserved for option grants, RSUs and PSUs previously issued under the 2016 Plan. The Company will not issue additional awards under the 2016 Plan.
Stock Option Valuation
The Company utilizes the Black-Scholes option pricing model for estimating the fair value of options granted, which requires the public warrants for periods where no observable traded price was available, using the same expected volatility as was used in measuringinput of highly subjective assumptions.
The Company calculates the fair value of each option grant on the Private Warrants. For periods subsequentgrant date using the following assumptions:
Expected Term — The Company uses the simplified method when calculating expected term due to insufficient historical exercise data.
Expected Volatility — The volatility is based on a benchmark of comparable companies within the automotive and energy storage industries.
Expected Dividend Yield — The dividend rate used is zero as the Company does not have a history of paying dividends on its common stock and does not anticipate doing so in the foreseeable future.
Risk-Free Interest Rate — The interest rates used are based on the implied yield available on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with an equivalent remaining term equal to the detachmentexpected life of the warrants fromaward.
The Company did not grant any stock options for the Units,three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.

Performance Stock Units
During 2021, Embark Trucks granted PSUs to its Founders. The PSUs are subject to certain market and performance-based conditions which require the Company to become a registered public company and meet market conditions that are based on the Company achieving six different valuation tranches as derived from the achievement of escalating share price thresholds of $400.00, $700.00, $1000.00, $1300.00, $1600.00 and $2000.00 (calculated based on the 90-day volume weighted average price or, in the event of a change in control, the fair market value based on the terms of such change in control) following the first anniversary of the consummation of the Business Combination. The market condition can be achieved over ten years in relation to the pre-money valuation prior to the Business Combination. Once the performance condition has been achieved or is considered probably of being achieved, the related stock-based compensation is recognized based on a graded attribution method.
As of March 31, 2023, there was $70.4 million unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to outstanding PSUs granted to employees, with a weighted-average remaining vesting period of 6.9 years.
The Company had no PSUs granted, forfeited or vested for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The Company had 2,235,788 PSUs outstanding with weighted average grant date fair value of $39.40 per share for the three months ended March 31, 2023

On September 23, 2022, Josh Luberisse filed a purported derivative action against current and former directors and against Embark as a nominal defendant captioned Luberisse v. Ian Robertson et al., Case No. 3:22-cv-05455 in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California (the “Luberisse Action”). The Luberisse Action complaint alleges violations of Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act and for alleged common law claims including breach of fiduciary duties, unjust enrichment, abuse of control, gross mismanagement and for contribution under Section 11(f) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21D of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 arising from allegedly wrongful conduct including the wrongful conduct alleged in the original and amended complaint in the Hardy Action. On November 30, 2022, Robert Manning II filed a second derivative action and on December 13, 2022, Sergio Tron filed a derivative action, both derivative actions being brought against current and former directors and against Embark as a nominal defendant and alleging similar facts and claims as the Luberisse Action (collectively, the “Derivative Actions”). In addition to fees and costs, the Derivative Actions seek damages and restitution to Embark from the named individual defendants as well as certain injunctive relief. Embark cannot determine the probability of loss or estimate damages at this stage of the proceeding.
Operating leases
The Company’s leases primarily include corporate offices. The lease term of operating leases vary from less than 1 year to 7.1 years. The Company has leases that include one or more options to extend the lease term to a total term of 3 years as well as options to terminate the lease within one year. The Company’s lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that it will exercise such options. The Company’s lease agreements generally do not contain any residual value guarantees or restrictive covenants. The Company has subleased office space to a third party where the Company remains primarily liable to the landlord for the performance of all obligations in the event that the sub-lessee does not perform its obligations under the lease. As a result of the sublease arrangements, future rental commitments under the operating lease will be offset by sublease amounts to be paid by the private placement of equity securities in connection with the closing of its initial business combination (subject to certain limited exceptions), the members of NGC (institutional investors that also are members of the Company’s Sponsor,) and the parties to the additional Forward Purchase Agreements have the first right to purchase an aggregate amount of up to 7,500,000 “forward purchase units” of the Company (under all Forward Purchase Agreements, taken together) for $10.00 per forward purchase unit, or an aggregate total of $75,000,000. Each forward purchase unit would consist of one share of the Company’s common stock and one-sixth of one warrant, with each whole warrant exercisable to purchase one share of the Company’s common stock at $11.50 per share. The common stock and warrants included in the forward purchase units would have the same terms as the Company’s publicly traded common stock and warrants but would not be freely tradable until registered. As with the Original Agreement, any commitment by any potential purchaser under any of the Forward Purchase Agreements is subject to and conditioned upon written confirmation from the prospective purchaser, following the Company’s notification to such purchaser of its intention to enter into an initial business combination agreement, which a prospective purchaser was grant or withhold in its sole discretion.

sub-lessee. In addition, if a private placement of equity securities in connection with the Company’s initial business combination exceeds $75,000,000, the Company agreed under each Forward Purchase Agreement to use its commercially reasonable efforts to permit priority participation in such additional amount by the members of NGC and the parties to the additional Forward Purchase Agreements, in an aggregate additional amount up to $150,000,000, on the same terms as those offered to other prospective purchasers in connection with such additional private placement amount.

Each Forward Purchase Agreement that the holders of the shares of common stock and warrants included in the forward purchase units will be entitled to registration rights pursuant togeneral, the terms of any registration rights agreement applicable to any equity securities issued by way of private placement in connection with the closing of the Company’s initial business combination or, in the absence of the foregoing, pursuantsublease are similar to the terms of the registration rights agreement entered into bymaster lease.

In March 2023, the Company Sponsorexecuted an agreement for the termination of two office spaces locations effective March 24, 2023 and NGCMarch 27, 2023, respectively, and recognized $0.6 million for early termination fees. The original term of each lease was through 2024 and 2027, respectively.
In March 2023, the Company remeasured its lease liabilities as the Company is reasonably certain to exercise a lease option affecting the remaining lease term. The remeasurement resulted in connectiona $1.9 million decrease in lease liability with a corresponding reduction to right of use assets.
Subsequently, it was determined that the carrying value of one of its corporate office lease is not recoverable as well as ceased use of its transfer point sites. Accordingly, the Company recognized a right of use asset impairment charge of $6.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023.

References in this report (the “Quarterly Report”) to “we,” “us” or the “Company” refer to Northern Genesis Acquisition Corp. II. References to our “management” or our “management team” refer to our officers and directors, and references to the “Sponsor” refer to Northern Genesis Sponsor II LLC.

The following discussion and analysis of the Company’sEmbark’s financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with theEmbark’s condensed consolidated financial statements and therelated notes thereto containedand other information included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in Embark’s Annual Report. Certain information contained in theThis discussion and analysis set forth below includescontains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.

Special Embark’s actual results could differ materially from such forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to those differences include, but are not limited to, those identified below and those discussed in the sections titled “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

ThisStatements” included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report includes “forward-looking statements”on Form 10-Q and in the Annual Report. Additionally, Embark’s historical results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected in any future period.

Overview
Headquartered in San Francisco, California, Embark’s history as the industry’s longest running autonomous truck driving program in the U.S. is replete with technological firsts that include, but are not limited to:
First coast-to-coast autonomous truck drive,
First to reach 100,000 autonomous miles on public roads,
First operational transfer point network for self-driving trucks;
First autonomous trucking company to adopt an OEM-agnostic approach;
First autonomous vehicle trucking software to handle work zone lane closures;
First autonomous vehicle trucking software to self-park;
First to complete on-road autonomous testing in winter conditions;
First to complete a public demonstration of an autonomous truck being pulled over by law enforcement and participating in a routine traffic stop on a public highway; and
First autonomous developer to handover trucks to a carrier, through the Truck Transfer Program (TTP), for operation within the meaning of Section 27Acarrier’s fleet with the carrier’s drivers.
Embark has evaluated all sub-segments of the Securities Actgrowing truck freight market, which is segmented by criteria such as type of 1933goods transported, geographies covered and Section 21Etrailer type. Embark may continue to evaluate a variety of different segments within the truck freight industry in the future.
On March 1, 2023, the Board of Directors of the Exchange Act that are not historical factsCompany (the “Board”) approved a process to explore, review and involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expected and projected. All statements, other than statementsevaluate a range of historical fact included in this Form 10-Qpotential strategic alternatives, including, without limitation, statements in this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” regarding the completion of the Proposed Business Combination (as defined below), the Company’s financial position, business strategy and the plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. Words such as “expect,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “seek” and variations and similar words and expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements relate to future events or future performance, but reflect management’s current beliefs, based on information currently available. A number of factors could cause actual events, performance or results to differ materially from the events, performance and results discussed in the forward-looking statements, including that the conditions of the Proposed Business Combination are not satisfied. For information identifying important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements, please refer to the Risk Factors sectionexploring alternative uses of the Company’s final prospectus forassets to commercialize its Initial Public Offering filedtechnology, additional sources of financing, as well as potential dissolution or winding up of the Company and liquidation of its assets. To the extent Embark is unable to execute or identify strategic alternatives, its liquidity will be negatively impacted and may not be sufficient to fund its operations. These conditions and events raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
In response to these conditions, on March 3, 2023, the Company announced a restructuring plan after an extensive review of its organization and programs and in response to current ongoing market headwinds. In connection with this restructuring plan, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The Company’s securities filingsCompany is reducing its workforce by approximately 230 employees, which represents 70% of its headcount. No assurance can be accessedgiven that the Company’s exploration of strategic alternatives will result in any change in strategy. To the extent Embark is unable to execute or identify strategic alternatives, the Board may explore potential alternatives including, without limitation, the potential dissolution or winding up of the Company and liquidation of its assets. As a result, management’s plan cannot be considered probable and thus does not alleviate the substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Recent Developments Affect Comparability

As described in “Liquidity and Capital Resources and Ability of the Company to Continue as a Going Concern,” on March 1, 2023 the Board approved a process to explore, review and evaluate a range of strategic alternatives.Embark has implemented a number of initiatives following March 31, 2023, in furtherance of this process including: continued headcount reduction, termination of the TTP and return of the Embark-powered truck provided to Knight-Swift, cancellation of all reservations for future deliveries, termination of certain outstanding warrants issued to Werner

Key Factors Affecting Embark’s Operating Performance
Embark’s financial condition, results of operations, and future success depend on several factors that present significant opportunities for Embark but also pose risks and challenges, including those set forth the section entitled “Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in the Annual Report, and as set forth below.
The following key factors pertain to Embark’s operating plan of developing an autonomous driving offering for the United States truck freight market and may be inapplicable depending on the EDGAR sectionoutcome of Embark’s evaluation of its strategic alternatives following the decision of the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. ExceptEmbark board of directors to review strategic alternatives in March 2023:
Embark’s Ability to Achieve Key Technical Milestones and Deliver a Commercial Product
Embark’s growth will depend on the introduction of Embark Driver and Embark Guardian products which will drive demand from potential customers. Embark has developed a platform agnostic interface, Embark Universal Interface, which will serve as expressly requiredthe foundation to utilize Embark Driver and Guardian products in trucks manufactured by applicable securities law,a broad range of OEMs. Embark’s ability to introduce its products will be driven by a variety of factors including strategic use of the testing capacity of Embark’s research and development fleet capacity, the number of autonomous miles driven (measured as the number of miles driven by Embark’s research & development fleet as well as partner fleet autonomous miles), simulated miles and encounters, and the ability to effectively collect and act upon information gathered from the operation of Embark’s research and development fleet to develop a safe and sustainable solution. Embark develops most key technologies in-house to achieve a rapid pace of innovation and tests it extensively through research and development fleet operations. To date, Embark has not generated any revenue and until its products reach commercialization, autonomous miles driven will be comprised of autonomous miles driven by its research and development fleet and the fleet of its partners.
Embark’s Ability to Expand its Coverage Map Across the United States
Embark’s long-term growth potential will benefit from strategic network expansion across the United States. Network breadth is measured by the number of transfer points on Embark’s coverage map, which are representative of the cities which Embark plans to support. Embark expects to achieve significant network growth by partnering with key real-estate partners which will enable it to quickly bring their properties into its coverage map. Additionally, Embark has partnered with carriers and shippers who currently move, or have in the past moved, a significant amount of freight on Embark’s network to add their properties to the network. Embark believes that expanding its network over the long run will enable it to create a significant and sustainable competitive advantage.
Adoption and Support of Autonomous Technology in the Freight Industry
Embark’s business model is supported by a large addressable market that Embark believes will benefit from the introduction of autonomous trucking technology. The freight industry is currently facing significant challenges, notably driver shortages and utilization limitations, which it believes it will address through its product offerings. Embark has identified participants from across the freight ecosystem who have expressed support for Embark’s offerings and the potential solutions they provide to the challenges they are facing.

Overview

We are a blank check company formed underthis workforce reduction initiative, the laws of the State of Delaware on September 25, 2020 for the purpose of entering into a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities (the “Business Combination”). We intend to effectuate our Business Combination using cash from the proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, our capital stock, debt or a combination of cash, stock and debt.

We expect to continue to incurCompany incurred significant costs in the pursuit of our acquisition plans. We cannot assure you that our plans to complete a Business Combination will be successful.

Recent Developments

On April 21, 2021, the Company entered into an Amendedemployee severance pay and Restated Forward Purchase Agreement with Northern Genesis Capital II LLC (formerly known as Northern Genesis Capital LLC) (“NGC”) (the “NGC Forward Purchase Agreement”), and certain additional Forward Purchase Agreements with additional institutional investors (collectively, with the NGC Forward Purchase Agreement, the “Forward Purchase Agreements”). The Forward Purchase Agreements collectively replace that certain Forward Purchase Agreement previously entered into by the Company and NGC in connection with the closing of the Company’s initial public offering (the “Original Agreement”).

Pursuant to the Forward Purchase Agreements, if the Company determines to raise capital by the private placement of equity securities in connection with the closing of its initial business combination (subject to certain limited exceptions), the members of NGC (institutional investors that also are members of the Company’s Sponsor) and the parties to the additional Forward Purchase Agreements have the first right to purchase an aggregate amount of up to 7,500,000 “forward purchase units” of the Company (under all Forward Purchase Agreements, taken together) for $10.00 per forward purchase unit, or an aggregate total of $75,000,000. Each forward purchase unit would consist of one share of the Company’s common stock and one-sixth of one warrant, with each whole warrant exercisable to purchase one share of the Company’s common stock at $11.50 per share. The common stock and warrants included in the forward purchase units would have the same terms as the Company’s publicly traded common stock and warrants but would not be freely tradable until registered. As with the Original Agreement, any commitment by any potential purchaser under any of the Forward Purchase Agreements is subject to and conditioned upon written confirmation from the prospective purchaser, following the Company’s notification to such purchaser of its intention to enter into an initial business combination agreement, which a prospective purchaser was grant or withhold in its sole discretion.

In addition, if a private placement of equity securities in connection with the Company’s initial business combination exceeds $75,000,000, the Company agreed under each Forward Purchase Agreement to use its commercially reasonable efforts to permit priority participation in such additional amount by the members of NGC and the parties to the additional Forward Purchase Agreements, in an aggregate additional amount up to $150,000,000, on the same terms as those offered to other prospective purchasers in connection with such additional private placement amount.


 Each Forward Purchase Agreement that the holders of the shares of common stock and warrants included in the forward purchase units will be entitled to registration rights pursuant to the terms of any registration rights agreement applicable to any equity securities issued by way of private placement in connection with the closing of the Company’s initial business combination or, in the absence of the foregoing, pursuant to the terms of the registration rights agreement entered into by the Company, Sponsor and NGC in connection with the Company’s initial public offering (the “Registration Rights Agreement”). Pursuant to the foregoing, on April 21, 2021, the Registration Rights Agreement was amended to clarify that the shares and warrants included in up to 7,500,000 total forward purchase units remain subject to the Registration Rights Agreement, regardless of the specific Forward Purchase Agreement pursuant to which they may be issued.

Each Forward Purchase Agreement contains representations and warranties by each party, conditions to closing, and additional provisions that are customary for agreements of this nature. The terms of all of the Forward Purchase Agreements are substantively the same, except that the NGC Forward Purchase Agreement gives NGC board observation rights prior to the Company’s initial business combination, and gives the members of NGC a priority right to subscribe for any of the forward purchase units that any other prospective purchasers do not elect to purchase under any of the other Forward Purchase Agreements.

Results of Operations

We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities from September 25, 2020 (inception) through January 15, 2021 were organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for the Initial Public Offering, described below, and identifying a target company for a Business Combination. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our Business Combination. We generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account. We incur expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses.

Forrelated costs during the three months ended March 31, 2021, we had2023. The Company is expected to implement further reductions in workforce as a part its restructuring plan in the near future.

Impairment of long-lived assets
The Company has recorded impairment of long-lived assets in its condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2023 in line with the Company’s long-lived asset impairment policy. The Company recorded an impairment on its property, equipment and software and on its right-of-use assets.
Non-Operating Expenses and Other Items
Other Income (expense), net

Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expense decreased by $4.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022. The decrease was primarily due $6.5 million of lower headcount and personnel costs on account of restructuring and reduction in workforce. This was offset by $1.4 million increase in occupancy and infrastructure expenditure related to R&D activities, absence of software capitalization credit in the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to $0.9 million of reduction in R&D spend in the three months ended March 31, 2022; and $0.1 million increase in other administrative costs.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expense decreased by $4.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022. The decrease was primarily due to $6.9 million in lower headcount and personnel costs on account of restructuring and reduction in workforce; and $0.3 million decrease in insurance expenses. This was offset by an increase of $3.1 million in administrative expenses, primarily legal and consulting services resulting from the restructuring plan approved by Embark management.
Restructuring costs
The Company recorded $9.5 million in employee severance pay and related costs during the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to nil during the three months ended March 31, 2022.
Impairment on long-lived assets
The Company recorded $23.3 million in impairment of long-lived assets during the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022. The Company recognized partial impairment on all property and equipment for a total of $5.2 million and full impairment on internal use software for $11.2 million. The Company

also recognized an additional $6.9 million on right-of-use assets pertaining to property leases during the three months ended March 31, 2023.
Other income (expense), net
Other income decreased by $20.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022. The decrease was primarily due to a $22.1 million change in the estimated fair value of Public, Private, Working Capital and FPA Warrants during the three month ended March 31, 2022. This was offset by $1.8 million increase in interest income and $0.2 million increase in other income.
Liquidity and Capital Resources and Ability of the Company to Continue as a Going Concern
The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.
The Company has incurred losses from operations since inception and, as a result, as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 had an accumulated deficit of $349.1 million and $286.1 million, respectively. Net cash used in operating activities was $30.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. As Embark has not earned any revenue to date, it has financed its operations primarily through the sale of shares of common stock and preferred stock to fund operations, invest in R&D and repay borrowings. Embark has explored and exhausted avenues following an extended evaluation by Embark of alternative markets in which to commercialize its technology, and with the lack of success in bringing Embark’s product to those markets, it will not generate revenues in the near future, and may not be able to raise additional financing on terms that are favorable, or at all. As such, Embark believes that its operating losses and negative operating cash flows will continue into the foreseeable future requiring Embark to explore strategic alternatives. These conditions and events raise substantial doubt about Embark’s ability to continue as a going concern.
In response to these conditions, as part of management’s plans, on March 1, 2023, the Board approved a process to explore, review and evaluate a range of potential strategic alternatives, including, without limitation, exploring alternative uses of Embark’s assets to commercialize its technology, additional sources of financing, as well as potential dissolution or winding up of Embark and liquidation of its assets. In addition, on March 3, 2023, Embark announced a workforce restructuring plan. Management’s plan cannot be considered probable and thus does not alleviate the substantial doubt about Embark’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
The following table shows Embark’s cash flows from operating activities, investing activities and financing activities for the stated periods (in thousands):

The increase was primarily due to an increase of $44.6 million in net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase was offset by $33.1 million of non-cash adjustments to net loss (comprised of $22.1 million of change in fair value of warrant liability, $23.3 million of $6,484,600impairment loss on long-lived assets (see Note 5, “Restructuring costs and interest earned on marketable securities held in our Trust AccountImpairment of $8,341,Long-Lived Assets” and $0.8 million of depreciation and amortization expenses; which was offset by $13.0 million of stock-based compensation ).

Liquidity and Capital Resources

On January 15, 2021, we completed the Initial Public Offering of 41,400,000 Units, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $414,400,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we completed the sale of 6,686,667 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrantpayables.

Investing Activities
Net cash used in a private placement to Northern Genesis Sponsor II LLC, the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of $10,030,000.

Following the Initial Public Offering, the full exercise of the over-allotment option, and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, a total of $414,000,000 was placed in the Trust Account. We incurred $23,221,415 in Initial Public Offering related costs, including $8,280,000 of underwriting fees, $14,490,000 of deferred underwriting fees and $451,415 of other costs.

Forinvesting activities for the three months ended March 31, 2021,2023 was $1.1 million, a decrease of $0.6 million from $1.7 million of net cash used in operatinginvesting activities for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The decrease was $390,181. due to a decrease of purchase of property, equipment, and software of $0.6 million.

Financing Activities
Net incomecash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2023, was $0.1 million, a decrease of $4,880,183$0.2 million from the $0.3 million of net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The decrease was affected by interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $8,341, the change in fair value of warrant liability of $6,484,600, compensation expense of $267,467 and transaction costs associated with the IPO of $1,148,289. Changes in operating assets and liabilities provided $193,179primarily due to $0.2 million of cash for operating activities.  

As of March 31, 2021, we had marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $414,008,341 (including $8,341 of interest income) consisting of U.S. Treasury Bills with a maturity of 185 days or less. Interest income on the balance in the Trust Account may be used by us to pay taxes. Through March 31, 2021, we have not withdrawn any interest earnedproceeds received from the Trust Account.

We intend to use substantially allexercise of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account (less income taxes payable), to complete our Business Combination. To the extent that our capital stock or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete our Business Combination, the remaining proceeds held in the Trust Account will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business or businesses, make other acquisitions and pursue our growth strategies.

As of March 31, 2021, we had cash of $933,404. We intend to use the funds heldoptions .

Financing Arrangements
There have been no material changes outside the Trust Account primarily to identify and evaluate target businesses, performordinary course of business due diligence on prospective target businesses, travel to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, review corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, and structure, negotiate and complete a Business Combination.

In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor, or certain of our officers and directors or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan us fundsEmbark’s financing arrangements as may be required. If we complete a Business Combination, we would repay such loaned amounts. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from our Trust Account would be used for such repayment. Up to $3,000,000 of such loans may be convertible into warrants at a price of $1.50 per warrant, at the option of the lender. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants.


We do not believe we will need to raise additional fundspreviously disclosed in order to meet the expenditures required for operating our business. However, if our estimate of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating a Business Combination are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, we may have insufficient funds available to operate our business prior to our Business Combination. Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing either to complete our Business Combination or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our Public Shares upon consummation of our Business Combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such Business Combination.

Embark’s Annual Report.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We

Embark did not have no obligations, assets or liabilities, which would be consideredany off-balance sheet arrangements as of March 31, 2021. We do not participate in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements. We have not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or purchased any non-financial assets.

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 the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor a monthly fee of $10,000 for office space, utilities, secretarial support and administrative services. We began incurring these fees on January 12, 2021 and will continue to incur these fees monthly until the earlier of the completion of the Business Combination and our liquidation.

The underwriters are entitled to a deferred fee of 3.5% of the gross proceeds of the Initial Public Offering, or $14,490,000. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that we complete a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

In connection with the Initial Public Offering, the Company entered into the forward purchase agreement (the “Forward Purchase Agreement”) with NGC, which Forward Purchase Agreement was subsequently amended and restated as described under “—Recent Developments” above.

The forward purchase transaction is not dependent upon or affected by the percentage of stockholders electing to redeem their Public Shares and may provide the Company with an increased minimum funding level for the initial Business Combination. The forward purchase transaction is subject to conditions, including the forward purchase investor giving the Company its irrevocable written confirmation, confirming its commitment to purchase forward purchase securities and the amount thereof, no later than fifteen days after the Company notifies it of the Company’s intention to raise capital through the issuance of equity securities in connection with the closing of an initial Business Combination. The forward purchase investor may grant or withhold its consent and confirmation entirely within its sole discretion. Accordingly, if the forward purchase investor does not consent to and confirm the purchase, it will not be obligated to purchase any of the forward purchase securities.

Critical Accounting Policies

and Significant Management Estimates

The preparation of condensed financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of Americaaccounting principles requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affectin the reported amountspreparation of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of theEmbark’s financial statements and income and expenses during the periods reported.accompanying notes. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have identified
As a result of the Embark’s decision to wind up operations, Embark believe that the following should be added to our critical accounting policies:

Warrant Liability

We account for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessmentpolices given the level of the warrant’s specific termsjudgments and applicable authoritative guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”) and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to our own ordinary shares, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding.


For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. Changesestimates used in the estimated fair value of the warrants are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the statements of operations.

Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption

We account for our common stock subject to possible conversion in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Common stock subject to mandatory redemption is classified as a liability instrument and measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including common stock that features redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within our control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, common stock is classified as stockholders’ equity. Our common stock features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of our control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, common stock subject to possible redemption is presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ equity sectionpreparation of our condensed balance sheets.

Net Income Per Common Share

We applyconsolidated financial statements:

Restructuring Costs
In March 2023, the two-class methodCompany initiated a reduction in calculating earnings per share. Net income per common share, basicworkforce restructuring plan and dilutedsimultaneously proceeded with potential liquidation of its assets. As a result of this workforce reduction initiative, the Company incurred $9.5 million in employee severance pay and related costs during the three months ended March 31, 2023. The Company is expected to implement further reductions in workforce as a part its restructuring plan in the near future.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews its long-lived assets for common stock subjectimpairment annually, or whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be fully recoverable. The Company analyzed its long-lived assets for impairment in line with its impairment policy and recorded a $23.3 million impairment charge to possible redemption is calculated by dividing the interest income earned on the Trust Account, netproperty and equipment and its right-of-use assets in its condensed consolidated statements of applicable taxes, if any, by the weighted average number of shares of common stock subject to possible redemption outstandingoperations for the period. Net income per common share, basic and diluted for and non-redeemable common stock is calculated by dividing net loss less income attributablethree months ended March 31, 2023.

There have been no other material changes to common stock subject to possible redemption, byEmbark’s critical accounting policies or estimates during the weighted average number of shares of non-redeemable common stock outstanding for the period presented.

JOBS Act Accounting Election
Embark is an emerging growth company (“EGC”), as defined in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-06, Debt — Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) (“ASU 2020-06”)JOBS Act. Under the JOBS Act, EGCs can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards until such time as those standards apply to simplifyprivate companies. Embark intends to elect to adopt new or revised accounting for certain financial instruments. ASU 2020-06 eliminatesstandards under private company adoption timelines. Accordingly, the current models that require separationtiming of beneficial conversion and cash conversion features from convertible instruments and simplifiesEmbark’s adoption of new or revised accounting standards will not be the derivative scope exception guidance pertaining to equity classification of contracts in an entity’s own equity. The new standard also introduces additional disclosures for convertible debt and freestanding instrumentssame as other public companies that are indexed to and settled in an entity’s own equity. ASU 2020-06 amends the diluted earnings per share guidance, including the requirement to use the if-converted method for all convertible instruments. ASU 2020-06 is effective January 1, 2022 and should be applied on a fullnot EGCs or modified retrospective basis, with early adoption permitted beginning on January 1, 2021. We are currently assessing the impact, if any, that ASU 2020-06 would have on its financial position, resultsopted out of operations or cash flows.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About MarketMarket.
Embark is exposed to certain market risks in the ordinary course of Embark’s business.
Credit Risk

Not required

Embark is exposed to credit risk on its investment portfolio. Investments that potentially subject Embark to credit risk consist principally of cash and investments in debt securities. Embark places cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions with high credit standing and excess cash in marketable investment grade debt securities.
Interest Rate Risk
Embark is exposed to interest rate risk on its investment portfolio. Investments that potentially subject Embark to interest rate risk consist principally of cash and investments in debt securities. As of March 31, 2023, Embark has cash and cash equivalents of $126.2 million, consisting of interest-bearing money market accounts for smaller reporting companies.

which the fair market value would be affected by changes in the general level of U.S. interest rates. However, due to the short-term maturities and the low-risk profile of Embark’s investments, an immediate 10% change in interest rates would not have a material effect on the fair market value of its cash, cash equivalents, and investments.
Inflation Risk
Embark is exposed to impact of wage inflation, and can experience wage inflation during 2023. As wages have not increased during the first quarter of 2023, Embark does not believe that inflation has had a material effect on its business, results of operations, or financial condition. If Embark’s costs were to become subject to more significant inflationary pressures, Embark will not be able to fully offset such higher costs through price increases. Embark’s inability to do so could harm its business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our

Embark’s management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officerits Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and principal financial and accounting officer, we conducted an evaluation ofInterim Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), evaluated the effectiveness of ourEmbark’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2021, as such term is(as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer have concluded that during the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective, due solely to the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting described below in “Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.” In light of this material weakness, we performed additional analysis as deemed necessary to ensure that our financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, management believes that the financial statements included in this Quarterly Report present fairly in all material respects our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the period presented.

Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements

On May 21, 2021, we revised our prior position on accounting for warrants and concluded that our previously issued audited balance sheet datedAct), as of January 15, 2021 (the “IPO Balance Sheet)” should not be relied on becausethe end of a misapplication in the guidance on warrant accounting. However, the non-cash adjustments to the financial statements do not impact the amounts previously reported for our cash and cash equivalents, total assets, revenue or cash flows.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter of 2020period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q10-Q. Based on that hasevaluation, Embark’s CEO and CFO concluded that, as of March 31, 2023, due to the material weakness described in Form 10-K for 2022 fiscal year, Embark’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.

As disclosed in Part II, Item 9A, “Controls and Procedures” in Embark’s Annual Report, we identified the following material weakness in internal control over financial reporting: our controls over user access and program change management over certain IT systems were not appropriately designed to address the IT risks. Furthermore, the business process controls (automated and manual) that are dependent on the affected IT General Controls (ITGCs) were deemed ineffective.
Status of Remediation Efforts
In response to the material weaknesses identified and described above, Embark’s management, with the oversight of the Audit Committee of its Board of Directors, will continue through 2023 to further improve Embark’s control environment and to take steps to remediate these material weaknesses.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Except for changes in connection with Embark’s implementation of the remediation measures or as described above, there were no changes in its internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2023, that have materially affected, or isare reasonably likely to materially affect, ourits internal control over financial reporting. Due solely to the events that led to our restatement

PARTPart II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

None

From time to time, Embark may be involved in actions, claims, suits, and other proceedings in the ordinary course of its business. In addition, from time to time, third parties may in the future assert intellectual property infringement claims against Embark in the form of letters and other forms of communication. Litigation or any other legal or administrative proceeding, regardless of the outcome, can result in substantial cost and diversion of its resources, including its management’s time and attention. Such matters are subject to uncertainty and there can be no assurance that such legal proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on Embark’s business, the results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.
On April 1, 2022, Tyler Hardy filed the Hardy Action, a putative securities class action lawsuit against Embark, certain of Embark’s executive officers, and former executive officers of Northern Genesis Acquisition Corp., Hardy brought the action purportedly on behalf of a class consisting of those who purchased or otherwise acquired Embark common stock between January 12, 2021 and January 5, 2022. The complaint alleges that defendants made false and/or misleading statements in violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. On July 7, 2022, the Court appointed Tyler Hardy as lead plaintiff in the case, and his counsel at Pomerantz LLP as lead counsel.
On August 25, 2022, pursuant to Court-approved stipulation, Plaintiff Hardy filed a consolidated amended complaint, naming an additional plaintiff, Danny Rochefort, and additional individual defendants that formerly served as directors of Northern Genesis Acquisition Corp. prior to its business combination with Embark. The amended complaint alleges that defendants committed the Securities Act Claims, alleged to be violations of Sections 11 and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933 and the Exchange Act Claims, alleged violations of Sections 14(a) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 through the inclusion of allegedly inaccurate and misleading statements in the Form S-4 registration statement and proxy statement/prospectus filed in connection with the business combination. Plaintiffs do not quantify any damages in the complaint, but in addition to attorneys’ fees and costs, seek to recover damages on behalf of two classes: 1) a class that acquired shares traceable to the registration statement at issue in the Securities Act Claims and 2) a class that voted in favor of the business combination based on the information in the proxy statement/prospectus at issue in the Exchange Act Claims and purportedly suffered financial harm as a result.
On October 24, 2022 Embark moved to dismiss the amended complaint pursuant to Rules 9 and 12(b)(6) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure as well as under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act on the grounds that the Amended Complaint fails to plead facts sufficient to state a claim against Defendants. This motion was heard on March 23, 2023. On April 6, 2023, the parties entered a memorandum of understanding to resolve the Hardy Action release the Company from any liability thereunder with no admissions of liability or other concessions made by the Company or other defendants and subject to court approval of a joint stipulation and motion to approve the settlement. We anticipate that plaintiffs and the Company will submit the settlement to the court on or about May 15, 2023 as part of a Stipulation and Agreement of Settlement. In the event the court approves the Stipulation and Agreement of Settlement, the Company would be obligated to pay a settlement amount of two million five hundred thousand dollars to an escrow account for payment of attorneys' fees and costs, administration expenses and distributions to putative class members.
On September 23, 2022, Josh Luberisse filed a purported derivative action against current and former directors and against Embark as a nominal defendant (the “Luberisse Action”). The complaint alleges violations of Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act and for alleged common law claims including breach of fiduciary duties, unjust enrichment, abuse of control, gross mismanagement and for contribution under Section 11(f) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21D of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 arising from allegedly wrongful conduct including the wrongful conduct alleged in the original and amended complaint in the Hardy Action. . On November 30, 2022, Robert Manning II filed a second derivative action and on December 13, 2022, Sergio Tron filed a derivative action, both derivative actions being brought against current and former directors and against Embark as a nominal defendant and alleging similar facts and claims as the Luberisse Action (collectively, the “Derivative Actions”). In addition to fees and costs, the Derivative Action seeks damages and restitution to Embark from the named individual defendants as well as certain injunctive relief. Embark cannot determine the probability of loss or estimate damages at this stage of the proceeding.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially

There have been no material changes in risk factors at March 31, 2023 from those in this report include the risk factors described in ourthe Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 filed with the SEC. Except as described below, as of the date of this Report, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report filed with the SEC.

Our warrants are accounted for as liabilities and the changes in value of our warrants could have a material effect on our financial results.

On April 12, 2021, the SEC issued the SEC Staff Statement regarding the accounting and reporting considerations for warrants issued by SPACs. Specifically, the SEC Staff Statement focused on certain settlement terms and provisions related to certain tender offers following a business combination, which terms are similar to those contained in the warrant agreement governing our warrants. As a result of the SEC Staff Statement, we reevaluated the accounting treatment of our public warrants and private placement warrants, and determined to classify the warrants as derivative liabilities measured at fair value, with changes in fair value each period reported in earnings. 

As a result, included on our balance sheet as of March 31, 2021 contained elsewhere in this Quarterly Report are derivative liabilities related to embedded features contained within our warrants. ASC Subtopic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, provides for the remeasurement of the fair value of such derivatives at each balance sheet date, with a resulting non-cash gain or loss related to the change in the fair value being recognized in earnings in the statement of operations. As a result of the recurring fair value measurement, our financial statements and results of operations may fluctuate quarterly, based on factors which are outside of our control. Due to the recurring fair value measurement, we expect that we will recognize non-cash gains or losses on our warrants each reporting period and that the amount of such gains or losses could be material.

2022.

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

On January 15, 2021, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 41,400,000 Units. The Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per unit, generating total gross proceeds of $414,000,000. J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Barclays Capital Inc. and CIBC Capital Markets acted as joint book-running managers of the Initial Public Offering. The securities in the offering were registered under the Securities Act on registration statement on Form S-1 (No. 333-251639 and 333-252056). The Securities and Exchange Commission declared the registration statements effective on January 12, 2021.

Simultaneous with the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor and Northern Genesis Sponsor II LLC consummated the private placement of an aggregate of 6,686,667 Units at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant, generating total proceeds of $10,030,000. Each Private Placement Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one share of common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. The issuance was made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

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

Of the gross proceeds received from the Initial Public Offering, the exercise of the over-allotment option and the Private Placement Warrants, an aggregate of $414,000,000 was placed in the Trust Account.

We paid a total of $8,280,000 in underwriting fees, $14,490,000 of deferred underwriting fees and $451,415 for other costs and expenses related to the Initial Public Offering.

For a description of the use of the proceeds generated in our Initial Public Offering, see Part I, Item 2 of this Form 10-Q.
