other factors detailed under the section entitled “Risk Factors.” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the section entitled “Risk Factors��� in Embark’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the three and nine month periodyear ended September 30,December 31, 2021 (the “First Amendment”), as originally filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on November 10, 2021March 21, 2022 (the “Original Form 10-Q”“Annual Report”) to amend and restate.

These forward‑looking statements are based on information available as of the Company’s September 30, 2021date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and current expectations, forecasts and assumptions, and involve a number of judgments, risks and uncertainties. Accordingly, forward‑looking statements should not be relied upon as further described below.

This amended and restated report on Form 10-Q/A is presentedrepresenting Embark’s views as of the filingany subsequent date, of the Original Form 10-Q and Embark does not reflect events occurring after that date, or modify orundertake any obligation to update disclosures in any way other than as required to reflect the restatement as described below. Accordingly, this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-Q/A should be read in conjunction with our filings with the SEC subsequent to the date on which we filed the Original Form 10-Q.

The Company is filing this First Amendment on Form 10-Q/A to reflect a restatement of the Company’s condensed financialforward‑looking statements as of January 15, 2021, as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2021, as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 to correct errors in the Company’s classification of public shares as permanent equity as further described below.

On November 10, 2021, subsequent to the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2021, Northern Genesis Acquisition Corp. II, our predecessor and a Delaware corporation (“NGA”), consummated the previously announced business combination pursuant to the agreement and plan of merger, dated as of June 22, 2021 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among NGA, NGAB Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”), and Embark Trucks Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Embark Trucks”).Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, NGA acquired Embark Trucks, by way of Merger Sub merging with and into Embark Trucks, with Embark Trucks becoming a direct subsidiary of NGA as a result thereof (the “Business Combination”).

On November 9, 2021, NGA held a special meeting of stockholders (the “Special Meeting”), at which the NGA stockholders considered and adopted, among other matters, a proposal to approve the Business Combination, including (a) adopting the Merger Agreement and (b) approving the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and related agreements described in the proxy statement/prospectus related thereto.

Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, on November 10, 2021 (the “Closing Date”), the Business Combination was consummated (the “Closing”).

On November 11, 2021, the business day following the Closing Date, the Company’s Class A common stock and warrants began trading on Nasdaq under the symbols “EMBK” and “EMBKW”. NGA’s public units automatically separated into their component securities upon consummation of the Business Combination and, as a result, no longer trade as a separate security and were delisted from the New York Stock Exchange.

Unless stated otherwise, this report contains information about NGA before the consummation of the Business Combination. References to the “Company” in this report refer to NGA before the consummation of the Business Combination.

Background of Restatement

In the Company’s previously issued financial statements as of January 15, 2021 and March 31, 2021, a portion of the public shares were classified as permanent equity to maintain stockholders’ equity greater than $5,000,000 on the basis that the Company could consummate its initial business combination only if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 under the Company’s charter. Thus, the Company can only complete a merger and continue to exist as a public company if there are sufficient public shares that do not redeem at the merger and so it was deemed appropriate to classify the portion of its public shares required to keep its stockholders’ equity above the $5,000,000 threshold as “shares not subject to redemption.”

However, in light of recent comment letters issued by the Securities & Exchange Commission (“SEC”) to several special purpose acquisition companies, management re-evaluated the Company’s application of ASC 480-10-99 to its accounting classification of public shares. Upon re-evaluation, management determined that the public shares include certain provisions that require classification of the public shares as temporary equity regardless of the minimum net tangible asset required by the Company to complete its initial business combination.

The Company’s management and the audit committee of the Company’s Board of Directors concluded that it is appropriate to restate all of the Company’s previously issued financial statements to report all public shares as temporary equity as of January 15, 2021, as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2021, as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.

This First Amendment on Form 10-Q/A sets forth the Original Form 10-Q in its entirety, as amended to reflect the restatement. Among other things, forward-looking statements made in the Original Form 10-Q have not been revised to reflect events that occurred or facts that became known to the Companycircumstances after the filing of the Original Form 10-Q, and such forward-looking statements should be read in their historical context.

The following items have been amendeddate they were made, whether as a result of the restatement:

Part I, Item 1, “Financial Statements” and

Part I, Item 4, “Controls and Procedures.”

In accordance withnew information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable SEC rules, this First Amendment on Form 10-Q/A includes an updated signature page and certifications of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer in Exhibits 31.1, 31.2 and 32.1 as required by Rule 12b-15.

securities laws.

Refer to Note 2, Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements of this Form 10-Q/A for additional information and for the summary of the accounting impacts of these adjustments to the Company’s condensed financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2021, as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.

The Company previously identified a material weakness in internal controls related to the accounting for warrants issued in connection with our initial public offering. As a result of the restatement described in this First Amendmenta number of known and unknown risks and uncertainties, Embark’s actual results or performance may be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward‑looking statements. You should not place undue reliance on Form 10-Q/A, the Company has concluded there was a material weakness in the Company's internal control over financial reporting at the time the abovementioned financial statements were issued, and its disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the time the abovementioned financial statements were issued.

(Unaudited)

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, althoughdevoted substantially all of its resources to develop its autonomous truck technology, to enable and expand its route models - transfer point and direct-to-customer, to expand its partnerships with shippers and carriers, to raising capital, and providing general and administrative support for these operations. The Company has not generated revenues from its principal operations from inception through June 30, 2022.

Prior to the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward completing a Business Combination. Company must complete a Business Combination having an aggregate fair market value of at least 80%Merger, NGA ordinary shares and warrants were traded on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the ticker symbols “NGAB” and “NGAB.WS”, respectively. On the Closing Date, the Company’s Class A common stock and warrants began trading on the NASDAQ under the ticker symbols “EMBK” and “EMBKW”, respectively. One of the assets held in the Trust Account (excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on income earned on the Trust Account) at the timeprimary purposes of the agreementMerger was to enter into an initial Business Combination. The Company intendsprovide a platform for Embark Trucks to only complete a Business Combination if the post Business Combination company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”). There is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully complete a Business Combination.

The Company will provide its 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 Account and not previously releasedgain access to the Company to pay its tax obligations). There will be no redemption rights upon the completionU.S. capital markets.

Basis of a Business CombinationPresentation
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance 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 CombinationU.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) 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 Company does not decide 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 rulesregulations 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, without voting, and if they do vote, irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed Business Combination.

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 or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), will be restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% or more of the Public Shares, without the prior consent of the Company.

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 (See Note 7).

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.

(Unaudited)

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 7) held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and, in such event, such amounts will be included with the 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.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September 30, 2021, the Company had $34,688 in its operating bank accounts, $414,028,694 in marketable securities held in the Trust Account to be used for a Business Combination or to repurchase or redeem stock in connection therewith and working capital deficit of ($1,544,413), which excludes franchise taxes payable of $150,000, of which such amount will be paid from interest earned on the Trust Account and $28,694 of franchise taxes paid and not yet reimbursed from the trust.

The Company may raise additional capital through loans or additional investments from the Sponsor or its stockholders, officers, directors, or third parties. The Company’s officers and directors and the Sponsor may but are not obligated to (except as described above), loan the Company funds, from time to time, in whatever amount they deem reasonable in their sole discretion, to meet the Company’s working capital needs. Based on the foregoing, the Company believes it will have sufficient cash to meet its needs through the earlier of consummation of a Business Combination or January 15, 2023, the deadline to complete a Business Combination pursuant to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (unless otherwise amended by stockholders).

NOTE 2. RESTATEMENT OF PREVIOUSLY ISSUED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

In connection with the preparation of the Company’s financial statements as of September 30, 2021 in its Original Form 10-Q, the Company concluded it should restate its financial statements to classify all Public Shares in temporary equity. In accordance with ASC 480, paragraph 10-S99, redemption provisions not solely within the control of the Company require common stock subject to possible redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity. The Company previously determined the common stock subject to possible redemption to be equal to the redemption value of $10.00 per share of common stock while also taking into consideration a redemption cannot result in net tangible assets being less than $5,000,001. Previously, the Company did not consider redeemable shares classified as temporary equity as part of net tangible assets. Effective with these financial statements, the Company revised this interpretation to include temporary equity in net tangible assets. Accordingly, effective with this filing, the Company presents all redeemable common stock as temporary equity. Additionally, the Company in its Original Form 10-Q referred to these adjustments as a ‘revision’, however, these adjustments should have been identified as a ‘restatement’ of the previously issued financial statements.

As a result, management has noted a reclassification adjustment related to temporary equity and permanent equity. This resulted in an adjustment to the initial carrying value of the common stock subject to possible redemption with the offset recorded to additional paid-in capital (to the extent available), accumulated deficit and common stock.

NOTE 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated 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 U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (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 consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form10-K as filed with the SEC on April 15, 2021. The interim results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the period ending December 31, 2021 or for any future interim periods.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and itsCompany’s wholly-owned subsidiary. All significant intercompany balancestransactions and transactionsbalances have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Unaudited Interim Financial Information
These interim Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in consolidation.

Risksconjunction with the audited financial statements and Uncertainties

Management is currently evaluatingnotes thereto contained in Embark’s Annual Report. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2021, has been derived from the impact ofaudited financial statements at that date, but does not include all disclosures, including notes, required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In management’s opinion, the COVID-19 pandemicunaudited interim financial statements have been prepared on the industrysame basis as the annual financial statements and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible thatinclude all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the virus could have a negative effect onfair presentation of the Company’s financial position as of June 30, 2022 and the Company’s results of its operations closefor the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. The interim results are not necessarily indicative of the Initial Public Offering, and/results for any future interim period or search for the entire year.

Business Combination
The Company entered into the Merger Agreement with NGA, a targetspecial purpose acquisition company, on June 22, 2021. On November 10, 2021, as part of the specificBusiness Combination, NGAB Merger Sub Inc., a newly formed subsidiary of

Table of Contents
NGA (“Merger Sub”), merged with and into Embark Trucks. In connection with the consummation of the Business Combination, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub ceased; Embark Trucks survived and became a wholly owned subsidiary of NGA, which was renamed Embark Technology, Inc.
The Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization, in accordance with GAAP. Under the guidance in ASC 805, Embark was treated as the “acquirer” company for the accounting purposes. Embark Trucks was deemed the accounting predecessor of the combined business, and Embark Technology, Inc., as the parent company of the combined business, was the successor SEC registrant, meaning that Embark’s financial statements for previous periods will be disclosed in the registrant’s periodic reports filed with the SEC. The Business Combination had a significant impact is not readily determinableon Embark’s reported financial position and results as a consequence of the reverse recapitalization. The most significant change in Embark’s reported financial position and results was a net increase in cash of $243.9 million, net of transaction costs for the Business Combination of $70.2 million.
Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company has incurred losses from operations since inception. The Company incurred net losses of $32.8 million and $28.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and accumulated deficit amounts to $215.7 million and $182.9 million as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Net cash used in operating activities was $40.3 million and $20.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, 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 June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company’s balance of cash and cash equivalents was $220.4 million and $264.6 million, respectively.
Based on cash flow projections from operating and financing activities and existing balance of cash and cash equivalents and investments, management is of the opinion that the Company has sufficient funds for sustainable operations, and it will be able to meet its payment obligations from operations and debt related commitments for at least one year from the issuance date of these financial statements. TheBased on the above considerations, the Company’s financial statements do not include any adjustments that might resulthave been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities during the normal course of operations.
The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on management’s ability to control operating costs and demonstrate progress against its technical roadmap. This involves developing new capabilities for the Embark Driver software and improving the reliability and performance of the software on public roads. The Company believes demonstrating ongoing technical progress will enable the Company to obtain funds from the outcomeoutside sources of this uncertainty.

financing, including financing from equity interest investors and borrow funds to fund its general operations, research and development activities and capital expenditures.

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-OxleySarbanes- 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

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.

Segment Information
Under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC 280”),

Segment Reporting, operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise where discrete financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision-maker (“CODM”), in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company operates in 1 segment, the truck business unit, which is focused on enhancing self-driving truck software technology. Therefore, the Company’s chief executive officer, who is also the CODM, makes decisions and manages the Company’s operations as a single operating segment for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance. All long-lived assets are maintained in, and all losses are attributable to, the United States of America.
Concentration of Risks
Embark’s financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash. Embark maintains its cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash with high-quality financial institutions with investment-grade ratings. A majority of the cash balances are with U.S. banks and are insured to the extent defined by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
Impact of COVID-19
The outbreak of the novel coronavirus COVID-19, which was declared a global pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 11, 2020 has led to adverse impacts on the U.S. and global economies and has impacted and continues to impact the Company’s supply chain, and operations. Even though the Company has taken measures to adapt to operating in this challenging environment, the pandemic could further affect the Company’s operations and the operations of, partners, suppliers and vendors due to additional shelter- in-place and other governmental orders, facility closures, travel and logistics restrictions, or other factors as circumstances continue to evolve. In response to this pandemic, many jurisdictions in which the Company operates issued stay-at-home orders and other measures aimed at slowing the spread of the virus. While the Company remains open in accordance with guidance from local authorities, the Company experienced a temporary pause in testing of its research and development truck fleet and operations in response to the stay- at-home orders in calendar year 2021. The impacts from stay-at-home orders and other updated local government indoor operation measures associated with COVID-19 and its variants are not currently impacting the Company’s operations, however, there remains continuing uncertainty around the potential disruptions the pandemic could cause looking forward. The Company has instituted policies across its offices to ensure compliance with the guidelines imposed by the applicable public health authorities from time to time. At current, these changes have not impacted the Company’s operations. In response to recent variants, local governments have updated and may continue to update their guidelines for indoor operations. Therefore, the related financial impact and duration cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the condensed consolidated 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.

MakingThe 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 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. One of the more significant accounting estimates included in these condensed consolidated financial statements is the determination of the fair value of the warrantassets and liabilities. Such estimates may be subject to change as more current information becomes available and accordingly the actualActual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

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 SeptemberJune 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020.

2021, the Company had $220.4 million and $264.6 million of cash and cash equivalents, respectively.

Marketable Securities Held in Trust Account

Allcredit to secure leases of the Company’s investments heldoffices and facilities. A portion of the Company’s cash is collateralized in the Trust Account are classified as trading securities. Trading securities are presented on the balance sheet at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value of investments held in Trust Account are included in interest earned on marketable securities held in Trust Account in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. The estimated fair values of investments held in Trust Account are determined using available market information.

Warrant and FPA Liabilities

The Company accounts for the Warrants and forward purchase warrants (as defined in Note 7) in accordanceconjunction with the guidance contained in ASC 815-40, under which the Warrantsletter of credit and forward purchase warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment and must be recorded as liabilities. Accordingly, the Company classifies the Warrants and forward purchase warrants as liabilities at their fair value and adjust the Warrants and forward purchase warrants to fair value at each reporting period. These liabilities are subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in the statement of operations. The fair value of the Public Warrants were initially estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation. For periods subsequent to the detachment of the Public Warrants from the Units, the close price of the Public Warrant price was used as the fair value of the Warrants as of each relevant date. The Private Placement Warrants and forward purchase warrants are valued using a Modified Black Scholes Option Pricing Model.

Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption

The Company accounts for its common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Common stock subject to mandatory redemption is classified as a liability instrument and is measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including common stock that features redemption rights that is either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, common stock is classified as stockholders’ equity. The Company’s common stock features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, the 41,400,000 shares of common stock subject to possible redemption at September 30, 2021 are presented as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ equity (deficit) section ofrestricted cash on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company recognizes changeshad $0.9 million and $0.4 million in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable common stock to equal the redemption value atrestricted cash, respectively. At the end of each reporting period. Immediately upon the closingyear of the Initial Public Offering,lease, the face amount of the letter of credit is reduced by a fixed amount of approximately $0.1 million and reclassified into cash and cash equivalents on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and tax credit carry forwards. ASC 740 additionally requires a valuation allowance to be established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized.

ASC 740 also clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position 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 September 30, 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2021, due to the valuation allowance recorded on the Company’s net operating losses and permanent differences.

Net income (loss) per Common Share

The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share”. Net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. The Company applies the two-class method in calculating earnings per share. Accretion associated with the redeemable shares of common stock is excluded from earnings per share as the redemption value approximates fair value.

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 average stock price of the Company’s common stock for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 was less than the exercise price and therefore, the inclusion of such warrants under the treasury stock method would be anti-dilutive.

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 consolidated balance sheets, primarily due to their short-term nature, except for warrant liabilities (see Note 10).

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:

in active markets.
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 instrumentsLevel 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.

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 endmeasurement date, such as an option pricing model, discounted cash flow, or similar technique.

Recent Accounting Standards

In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-06, Debt — Debt with ConversionClass A common stock of NGA 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 separationone-third 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 consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 4. 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,one warrant, 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”).unit. Each whole Public Warrantwarrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment (see Note 9). 

NOTE 5. 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 9). The proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants were deposited into the Company’s operating account, $8,280,000 of which was used to pay deferred underwriting fees and $1,080,000 was due to the Sponsor for working capital and $670,000 was maintained in the operating account to be used towards working capital purposes. 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 6. 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 period from September 25, 2020 (inception) through September 30, 2020, the Company did not incur any fees for these services.

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 loans, if issued, will be non-interest bearing, unsecured and will be repaid upon the consummation of an initial business combination. If the Company does not consummate an initial business combination, all amounts loaned to the Company will be forgiven except to the extent that we have funds available outside of the Trust Account to repay such loans. As of September 30, 2021 there was $750,000 of working capital loans outstanding. On September 30, 2021 the sponsor committed to provide up to an additional $2,000,000 in working capital loans as needed by the Company in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination. The loans will follow the same structure as the $1,000,000 working capital loans as described above. This borrowing is in addition to the above note initiated on August 12, 2021. The total commitment provided by the Sponsor will total $3,000,000, where $750,000 of which has been borrowed as of September 30, 2021.

Personnel Services Agreement

The Company entered into a Personnel Services Agreement, dated April 1 2021, with the Sponsor pursuant to which, subject to maintaining funds adequate for our projected obligations, the Company expects to pay up to $2,000,000 in the aggregate in respect of the services of personnel affiliated with the Sponsor, including persons who may be directors or officers of the Company, for activities on the Company’s behalf, including services related to identifying, investigating and completing an initial business combination and other operational and support services.

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 7. 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. The agreement was amended as described below under “–Forward Purchase Agreement” to add the forward purchase securities.

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 of units (the “forward purchase units”), consisting of one share of Class A common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share (the “forward"Public Warrants"). Further, NGA completed the private sale of 6.7 million warrants to NGA's sponsor at a purchase shares”) and one-sixthprice of one redeemable$1.50 per warrant (the “forward purchase warrants”"Private Warrants"), for $10.00 per unit or (ii) a number of forward purchase shares for $9.75 per share (such forward purchase shares valued at $9.75 per share or. Each Private Warrant allows 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 commitmentsponsor 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.

On April 21, 2021, the Company entered into an Amended 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 one1 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’sClass A 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 subjectSubsequent 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.

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.

Proposed Business Combination

Table 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.

Contents

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.

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 (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, and the $18.00 per share redemption trigger price will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 180% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price.

The Private Placement Warrants and Working Capital Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants underlying the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering, except that the Private Placement Warrants Working Capital Warrants, and the Class A common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants and Working Capital Warrants cannot be transferreddid not become transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions.

NOTE 10. 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.
Property, Equipment and SoftwareUseful life (years)
Machinery and equipment5 years
Electronic equipment3 years
Vehicles and vehicle hardware3 – 7 years
Leasehold improvementsShorter of useful life or lease term
Furniture and fixtures7 years
Developed software2 – 4 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 incremental borrowing rate (“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.

Table of Contents
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 undiscounted cash flows that the long-lived asset is expected to generate is less than the carrying amount of the long-lived asset being evaluated.
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 June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. 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.

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.
General, and Administrative Expenses
General, and administrative expense consist of personnel costs, allocated facilities expenses, depreciation and amortization, travel, and business development costs.
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
As part of the Company’s research and development activities, we contract with shippers and freight carriers to transfer freight between the Company’s transfer hubs in return for cash consideration. Transferring freight with the Company’s research and development truck fleet are not and will not be considered an output of the Company’s anticipated ordinary revenue-generating activities. Consideration received from such arrangements is 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 1 class of common stock. Subsequent to the Merger, the Company has 2 classes of common stock: Class A and Class B common stock. The rights of the holders of Class A 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 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. NaN dividends were declared or paid for the three or six months ended June 30, 2022. NaN preferred stock was outstanding as of June 30, 2022
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.

Table of Contents
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 and losses on foreign currency revaluations.
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 Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (“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.
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 October 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-10, Codification Improvements, which updates various codification topics by clarifying or improving disclosure requirements to align with the SEC’s regulations. For the Company, the ASU No. 2020-10 will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2021 and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at each reporting period, and non-financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at least annually. 

interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.

As of the assets or paid in connection with theJune 30, 2022, there was 0 transfer from Level 2 to Level 3. As of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair valueDecember 31, 2021, transfers from Level 2 to Level 3 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). The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value 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. Examples 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 September 30, 2021, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value:

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 were remeasured as of the IPOreporting date with the change in value reflected as part of Other Expense.
The fair value of $3.0 million of Private and Working Capital warrants was derived from observable public warrant pricing on comparable ‘blank-check’ companies without an identified target. The expected volatilitydetermined using the Black-Scholes option valuation model using the following assumptions for values as of subsequent valuation dates was impliedJune 30, 2022:

Risk – free interest rate3.00%
Expected term (in years)4.36
Expected dividend yield0%
Expected volatility115.0%
The Company estimates the volatility of its warrants based on a combination of volatility from the Company’s own public warrant pricing.traded 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.

7. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION EXPENSE
Stock Option 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 — As the Company’s shares are not actively traded, 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.

Performance Stock Units
During 2021, Embark Trucks granted PSUs to its employees. 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 6 different valuation tranches as derived from the achievement of escalating share price thresholds of $20.00, $35.00, $50.00, $65.00, $80.00 and $100.00 (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 June 30, 2022, there was $78.3 million unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to outstanding PSUs granted to employees, with a weighted-average remaining vesting period of 7.6 years.

10.COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Legal Proceedings
The Company is subject to legal and regulatory actions that arise from time to time in the condensed consolidatedordinary course of business. The assessment as to whether a loss is probable or reasonably possible, and as to whether such loss or a range of such loss is estimable, often involves significant judgment about future events. In the opinion of management, all such matters are not expected to have a material effect on the financial statements.

position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company. However, the outcome of litigation is inherently uncertain.

On September 30, 2021,April 1, 2022, Tyler Hardy filed a putative securities class action lawsuit against Embark and certain of our executive officers and the Sponsor has amendedformer executive officers of Northern Genesis Acquisition Corp., captioned Hardy v. Embark Technology, Inc., et al., Case No. 3:22-cv-02090-JSC, in the AugustUnited States District Court for the Northern District of California, purportedly on behalf of a class consisting of those who purchased or otherwise acquired Embark common stock between January 12, 2021 Commitment Letter to provide $2,000,000and January 5, 2022. The complaint alleges that defendants made false and/or misleading statements in working capital loansviolations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. Plaintiff Hardy does not quantify any damages in the complaint, but in addition to attorneys’ fees and costs, seeks to recover damages on behalf of himself and other persons who purchased or otherwise acquired Embark stock during the previously provided $1,000,000. putative class period at allegedly inflated prices and purportedly suffered financial harm as a result. 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 July 15, 2022, the Court entered the parties’ stipulation whereby Plaintiff Hardy will file a consolidated amended complaint by August 25, 2022, to which defendants’ response will be due by October 24, 2022.


Embark disputes the allegations in the above-reference matter, intends to defend the matter vigorously, and believes that the claims are without merit. Legal and regulatory proceedings, including the above-reference matter, may be based on complex claims involving substantial uncertainties and unascertainable damages. Accordingly, it is not possible to determine the probability of loss or estimate damages for the above-referenced matter, and therefore, Embark has not established reserves for this proceeding. If Embark determines that a loss is both probable and reasonably estimable, Embark will record a liability, and, if the liability is material, will disclose the amount of the liability reserved. Given that such proceedings are subject to uncertainty, there can be no assurance that legal proceedings individually or in the aggregate will not have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations


References in this report (the “Quarterly Report”) to “we,” “us” orYou should read 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’sour financial condition and results of operations together with our condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the Annual Report. In addition to the historical financial information, this discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risk, assumptions and uncertainties, such as statements of our plans, objectives, expectations, intentions, forecasts and projections. Our actual results and the timing of selected events could differ materially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements as a result of several factors. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include those discussed below and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, particularly in the sections entitled “Forward-Looking Statements” above and “Risk Factors” below, and in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in the Annual Report.

Overview
Embark develops technologically advanced autonomous driving software for the truck freight industry and offers a carefully constructed business model that is expected to provide the industry with the most attractive path to adopting autonomous driving. Specifically, Embark has developed a Software as a Service platform designed to interoperate with a broad range of truck OEM platforms, forgoing complicated and logistically challenging truck building or hardware manufacturing operations in favor of focusing on a superior driving technology. At scale, domestic fleets will be able to access Embark technology via a subscription software license selected as an option at the time they specify the build of new semi-trucks.
Headquartered in San Francisco, California, Embark’s history as the industry’s longest running autonomous truck driving program is replete with technological firsts that include, but are not limited to:
the first coast-to-coast autonomous truck drive,
the first to reach 100,000 autonomous miles on public roads, and
the first to successfully open autonomous transfer points for human- autonomous vehicle (“AV”) handoff.
Embark currently targets and evaluates all sub-segments of the growing $730 billion U.S. truck freight market, which is segmented by, e.g., type of goods, geography and trailer type. Embark will continue to evaluate a variety of different segments within the truck freight industry based on factors including ease of implementation and profitability in order to identify the most favorable opportunities to commercialize AV technology over time.
Embark’s founding team includes roboticists and its broader team includes numerous computer scientists, many with advanced degrees and experience at other leading robotics and autonomous vehicle companies and academic programs.

The Business Combination
Embark entered into the Merger Agreement with NGA, a special purpose acquisition company, on June 22, 2021. On November 10, 2021, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub, a newly formed subsidiary of NGA, merged with and into Embark Trucks (the “Business Combination”). In connection with the consummation of the Business Combination, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub ceased; Embark Trucks survived and became a wholly owned subsidiary of NGA, which was renamed Embark Technology, Inc.
The Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization, in accordance with GAAP. Under the guidance in ASC 805, Embark was treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. Embark Trucks was deemed the accounting predecessor of the combined business, and Embark Technology, Inc., as the parent company of the combined business, was the successor SEC registrant, meaning that our financial statements for previous periods will be disclosed in the registrant’s periodic reports filed with the SEC. The Business Combination had a significant impact on Embark’s reported financial position and results as a consequence of the reverse recapitalization. The most significant changes in Embark’s reported financial position and results are a net increase in cash of $243.9 million net of transaction costs for the Business Combination of $70.2 million.
As a result of the Business Combination, Embark became an SEC-registered and Nasdaq-listed company, which required Embark to hire additional personnel and implement procedures and processes to address public company regulatory requirements and customary practices. Embark incurs additional annual expenses as a public company for,
33

among other things, directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, director fees, and additional internal and external accounting, legal and administrative resources.

Recent Material Contracts
Stock purchase agreement
On May 31, 2022, Embark entered into a Common Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) and a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), each with CF Principal Investments LLC (“Cantor”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company has the right to sell to Cantor up to the lesser of (i) 30,000,000 of newly issued shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, and (ii) the Exchange Cap (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), from time to time during the 36-month term of the Purchase Agreement. Sales of Class A common stock pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, and the timing of any sales, are solely at the option of the Company, and the Company is under no obligation to sell any securities to Cantor under the Purchase Agreement. The total number of shares to be sold to Cantor is limited to the extent that shares sold to Cantor would not result in Cantor and its affiliates having shares in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as such term is defined in the Purchase Agreement). The purchase price of shares sold to Cantor will be equal to 97% of the volume weighted average price on the trading day the shares are put to Cantor.
As consideration for Cantor’s commitment to purchase shares of Class A common stock at the Company’s direction upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to issue 450,000 shares of Class A common stock (the “Commitment Shares”) to Cantor at the time of execution of the Purchase Agreement. On May 31, 2022, the Company issued the Commitment Shares to Cantor with a fair value of $0.7 million.

Recent Developments Affecting Comparability
COVID-19 Impact and the Conflict in Ukraine
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the 2019 novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) a global pandemic. In the United States, as part of government-imposed restrictions, Embark was forced to temporarily pause fleet testing and operations in 2020. Embark also implemented a work-from-home policy for most of its non-operations team. However, a select group of workers remained on-site to continue advancing testing work for its test fleet. Since then, Embark has resumed its fleet testing and operations and has increased headcount to address its research and development (“R&D”) requirements.
The future impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Embark’s operational and financial performance will depend on certain developments, including the duration and end of the pandemic and the occurrence of future outbreaks from new variants, impact on Embark’s research and development efforts, and effect on Embark’s suppliers, all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted. Public and private sector policies and initiatives to reduce the transmission of COVID-19 and disruptions to Embark’s operations and the operations of Embark’s third-party suppliers, along with the related global slowdown in economic activity, may result in increased costs. It is possible that the COVID-19 pandemic, the measures that have been taken or that may be taken by the federal, state, local authorities and businesses affected by government-mandated business closures, vaccination mandates and the resulting economic impact may materially and adversely affect Embark’s business, results of operations, cash flows and financial positions.
While we have limited direct business exposure in Russia, Belarus and Ukraine, the Russian military actions and the resulting sanctions could adversely affect the global economy, as well as further disrupt the supply chain. A major disruption in the global economy and supply chain could have a material adverse effect on our business, partners, prospects, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. The extent and duration of the military action, sanctions, and resulting market and/or supply disruptions are impossible to predict, but could be substantial.
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
34

Factors” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in the Annual Report and in as set forth below:
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 the foundation to utilize Embark Driver and Guardian products in trucks manufactured by 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. Embark expects a continuing emphasis in research and development fleet usage in the foreseeable future to allow it to strategically focus on innovations, which it believes will help solidify its overall solution to customers and partners. 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 believes that data taken from autonomous miles driven during testing will continually feed improvements to the platform, allowing it to innovate and introduce new products to the market and increase adoption of its products in the future.
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 is partnering 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 will enable it to create a significant and sustainable competitive advantage. Embark believes that the continued growth of its partnerships will improve user experience and drive more users to its platform, which it believes will allow it to further densify its coverage map and reinforce rapid network growth. Embark will apply a highly scalable model nationally, with a tailored approach to each state, driven by the regulatory environment and local market dynamics. Embark believes that this will allow it to expand rapidly and efficiently across different geographies, while maintaining a high level of control over the specific strategy within each state.
Embark’s Ability to Expand its Partner Network
An aspect Embark’s business growth strategy is seek to drive the adoption of its technical products by deploying them in Embark’s partners’ operations in a collaborative process. This is achieved by working closely with carrier management teams to prepare them to deploy and scale autonomous trucks. In April 2021, Embark formally announced the Embark Partner Development Program (PDP), which serves as the basis of its partnership network. The PDP is comprised of carriers and shippers from across the freight ecosystem working with Embark to refine and scale Embark’s offerings. Most recently, Embark announced the industry-first Truck Transfer Program to place Embark technology in the hands of Knight-Swift drivers.
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.
While Embark has confirmed general market support, the long-term success of its business model is dependent on broad scale adoption and support of autonomous trucking technology. Embark has engaged with notable partners in the freight industry who Embark believes will lead the industry in adopting autonomous vehicle technology. As Embark

onboards more partners, it will increase miles driven by partners, which Embark believes will serve to validate its product offerings and generate interest and confidence from other partners. Embark believes customers will be motivated to integrate Embark’s technology to be price competitive with other freight participants who have achieved efficiencies with it.

Overview

We are a blank check company formed under 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 andprimarily through the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, our capital stock, debt or a combination of cash, stock and debt.

We expect to continue to incur 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

Personnel Services Agreement

We entered to a Personnel Services Agreement, dated April 1, 2021, with Northern Genesis Sponsor II LLC (the “Sponsor”) pursuant to which, subject to maintaining funds adequate for our projected obligations, we expect to pay up to $2,000,000 in the aggregate in respect of the services of personnel affiliated with the Sponsor, including persons who may be our directors or officers, for activities on our behalf, including services related to identifying, investigating and completing an initial business combination and other operational and support services. To the extent any amounts are in respect of the services of individuals who also serve as directors or executive officers of the Company, such amounts will be reviewed and approved by its audit committee.

The Sponsor, our officers and directors or any of their respective affiliates will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on our behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations. There is no cap or ceiling on the reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such persons in connection with activities on our behalf.

Forward Purchase Agreements

On April 21, 2021, the Company entered into an Amended 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.

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.

Proposed Business Combination

On June 22, 2021, we, Embark Trucks Inc., a Delaware Corporation (“Embark”), and NGAB Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and our wholly owned subsidiary (“Merger Sub”), entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, Merger Sub will be merged with and into Embark (the “Merger,” together with the other transactions related thereto, the “Embark Business Combination”), with Embark surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of us (the “Surviving Corporation”).

On the date of closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), we will amend and restate our certificate of incorporation (the “Post-Closing Charter”), pursuant to which, among other things, (i) we will have a dual class share structure with (x) shares of Class A common stock that will carry voting rights in the form of one vote per share (the “New Class A Common Stock”), and (y) shares of Class B common stock that will carry voting rights in the form of ten votes per share (the “New Class B Common Stock” and, together with the New Class A Common Stock, the “New Common Stock”) and (ii) all outstanding shares of our common stock will be reclassified into shares of New Class A Common Stock. At Closing, we will also change our name to Embark Technology, Inc.

Consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement is subject to customary conditions of the respective parties, including the approval of the Embark Business Combination by our stockholders.

Subscription Agreements

In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, we and Embark entered into separate subscription agreements (collectively, the “Subscription Agreements”) with a number of investors (the “PIPE Investors”). Pursuant to the Subscription Agreements, the PIPE Investors agreed to purchase, and we agreed to sell to the PIPE Investors, an aggregate of 16,000,000 shares of New Class A Common Stock (the “PIPE Shares”), for a purchase price of $10.00 per share and an aggregate purchase price of $160 million, in the PIPE Financing.

In addition, in connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, and pursuant to the Forward Purchase Agreements, certain FPA PIPE Investors agreed to purchase, and we agreed to sell to the FPA PIPE Investors, an aggregate of 4,000,000 units, consisting of one share of New Class A Common Stock and one-sixth of a warrant (the “PIPE Units”), for a purchase price of $10.00 per unit and an aggregate purchase price of $40 million, in the PIPE Financing.

The closing of the sale of the PIPE Shares pursuant to the Subscription Agreements and PIPE Units pursuant to the Forward Purchase Agreements is contingent upon, among other customary closing conditions, the substantially concurrent consummation of the Embark Business Combination. The purpose of the PIPE is to raise additional capital for use by the Surviving Corporation following the Closing.

Each such investor is further expected to represent and agree that such investor has not entered into, and will not enter, any agreement that would restrict, limit or interfere with the voting agreement madeApril 2021 was converted in the Support Agreement. The Business Combination Agreement and related agreements are further described in the Form 8-K filed by the Company on June 23, 2021.

The Registration Rights Agreement, subject to the terms thereof, will require the Surviving Corporation to, among other things, file a resale shelf registration statement on behalf of the Sponsor and the Embark Holders and their respective permitted transferees within thirty (30) days following the Closing. The Registration Rights Agreement will also provide for certain demand rights and piggyback registration rights in favor of each of the Sponsor and the Embark Holders and their respective permitted transferees, subject to customary underwriter cutbacks.

At the Special Meeting held on November 9, 2021, our stockholders voted and approved Proposal Nos. 1 through 7, including the Embark Business Combination, each of which is further described in the definitive proxy statement/prospectus.

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),support R&D efforts, as well as general and administrative activities for due diligence expenses.

For the threebusiness. If, at any time, Embark determines it requires more capital to execute upon its business plan, and /or that market conditions are favorable, Embark may seek additional equity or debt financing. Additionally, in the event Embark may in the future enter into arrangements to acquire or invest in related products, technologies, software and services, and Embark may need to seek additional equity or debt financing to support such growth. As of June 30, 2022, there were future minimum lease payments of $7.1 million.

Embark currently transports shipments using its R&D truck fleet, demonstrating proof of concept and paving the way for commercialization and revenue generating operations in the future. However, Embark has not earned any revenue to date, and had $220.4 million in cash and cash equivalents and an accumulated deficit of $215.7 million as of June 30, 2022. To the extent Embark is unable to commercialize its technology as expected, its liquidity may be negatively impacted.
Embark’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on management’s ability to control operating costs and demonstrate progress against its technical roadmap. This involves developing new capabilities for the Embark Driver software and improving the reliability and performance of the software on public roads. Embark believes demonstrating ongoing technical progress will enable Embark to obtain funds from outside sources of financing, including financing from equity interest investors and borrow funds to fund its general operations, research and development activities and capital expenditures.

We intend to use the funds heldThere 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 Embark’s financing arrangements as previously disclosed in Embark’s Annual Report.


24 

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 funds 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.

Based on the foregoing, management believes that the Company will have sufficient working capital and borrowing capacity from the sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company’s officers and directors to meet its needs through the earlier of the consummation of a Business Combination or one year from this filing. Over this time period, the Company will be using these funds for paying existing accounts payable, identifying and evaluating prospective initial Business Combination candidates, performing due diligence on prospective target businesses, paying for travel expenditures, selecting the target business to merge with or acquire, and structuring, negotiating and consummating the Business Combination. On August 12, 2021, the Sponsor has signed a Commitment Letter to provide up to $1,000,000 in working capital loans if required.

We do not believe we will need to raise additional funds 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.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

WeEmbark did not have no obligations, assets or liabilities, which would be consideredany off-balance sheet arrangements as of SeptemberJune 30, 2021. We do not participate2022.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Management Estimates
The preparation financial statements in transactions that create relationshipsconformity with unconsolidated entities orgenerally accepted accounting principles requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions in the preparation of Embark’s financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which wouldstatements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. There have been established forno material changes to Embark’s critical accounting policies or estimates during 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 supportthree 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 underwriterssix months ended June 30, 2022, from the amounts heldthose discussed in the Trust Account solely in the event that we complete a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

Embark’s Annual Report.

In connection with the Initial Public Offering, the Company entered into the NGC Forward Purchase Agreement with NGC, which NGC Forward Purchase Agreement was subsequently amended and restated as described under “—Recent Developments—Forward Purchase Agreements” 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. In connection with the proposed Embark Business Combination, certain FPA Investors agreed to purchase PIPE Units as described under “—Recent Developments—Proposed Business Combination” above.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

CriticalFor information on recently issued accounting pronouncements, refer to Note 2, “ Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The preparation ofPolicies” in Embark’s condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosuresincluded elsewhere in conformity with accounting principles generally acceptedthis Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.


JOBS Act Accounting Election
Embark is an emerging growth company (“EGC”), as defined in the United StatesJOBS Act. Under the JOBS Act, EGCs can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards until such time as those standards apply to private companies. Embark intends to elect to adopt new or revised accounting standards under private company adoption timelines. Accordingly, the timing of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affectEmbark’s adoption of new or revised accounting standards will not be the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have identified the following critical accounting policies:

Warrant Liability

We account for warrantssame 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 our own common 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 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 rightspublic companies that are either within the controlnot emerging growth companies or that have opted out 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 section of our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Net Income Per Common Share

Net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during theusing such extended transition period. We apply the two-class method in calculating earnings per share. Accretion associated with the redeemable shares is excluded from earnings per share as the redemption value approximates fair value. 

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. We are 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 our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About MarketMarket.
Embark is exposed to certain market risks as part of its ongoing business operations.
Credit Risk

Embark is exposed to credit risk on its investment portfolio. Investments that potentially subject us 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

Not required

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 June 30, 2022, Embark has cash and cash equivalents of $220.4 million, consisting of U.S. Treasury securities and 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 has experienced wage inflation during 2022. As wages have increased during 2022, and the continuing supply chain crisis and geopolitical conflict in Ukraine contributes to continuing inflation, inflation could have 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 before we commercialize and sell our technology,
40

Table of Contents
we will not be able to 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 (As Revised)


Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures


Under the supervision andOur management, with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officerChief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and principal financial and accounting officer, we conducted an evaluation ofChief Financial Officer (“CFO”), evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures(as of the end of the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2021, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer have concluded that duringAct), as of the end of the period covered by this report,Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on that evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that, as of June 30, 2022, due to the material weakness described in the Annual Report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. Our internal control over financial reporting did not result


As disclosed in the proper accounting classification of complex financial instruments which, due to its impact onPart II, Item 9A, “Controls and Procedures” in our financial statements,Annual Report, we determined to beidentified a material weakness.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There was no changeweakness in our internal control over financial reporting resulting from a lack of sufficient number of qualified personnel within our accounting function who possessed an appropriate level of expertise to effectively perform the following functions:

identify, select and apply GAAP sufficiently to provide reasonable assurance that occurred duringtransactions were being appropriately recorded; and
assess risk and design appropriate control activities over information technology systems and financial and reporting processes necessary to provide reasonable assurance regarding the fiscal quarter ended Septemberreliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements.

Status of Remediation Efforts

In response to the material weaknesses identified and described above, our management, with the oversight of the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors, will continue through 2022 to dedicate significant efforts and resources to further improve our control environment and to take steps to remediate these material weaknesses.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Except for changes in connection with our implementation of the remediation measures or as described above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2021 covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A2022, that hashave materially affected, or isare reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. The Company previously identified a material weakness in internal controls related to the accounting for warrants issued in connection with our initial public offering. As a result
41

Table of the restatement described in this First Amendment on Form 10-Q/A, management has identified a material weakness in internal controls related to complex financial instruments, as described above.

Contents

Remediation Plan

Management has implemented remediation steps to address the material weakness and to improve our internal control over financial reporting. Specifically, we expanded and improved our review process for complex securities and related accounting standards. We plan to further improve this process by enhancing access to accounting literature, identification of third-party professionals with whom to consult regarding complex accounting applications and consideration of additional staff with the requisite experience and training to supplement existing accounting professionals.

The elements of our remediation plan can only be accomplished over time, and we can offer no assurance that these initiatives will ultimately have the intended effects.

PARTPart II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

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 our business, the results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
On April 1, 2022, Tyler Hardy filed a putative securities class action lawsuit against Embark and certain of our executive officers and the former executive officers of Northern Genesis Acquisition Corp., captioned Hardy v. Embark Technology, Inc., et al., Case No. 3:22-cv-02090-JSC, in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, 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 violation of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. Plaintiff Hardy does not quantify any damages in the complaint, but in addition to attorneys’ fees and costs, seeks to recover damages on behalf of himself and other persons who purchased or otherwise acquired Embark stock during the putative class period at allegedly inflated prices and purportedly suffered financial harm as a result. 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 July 15, 2022, the Court entered the parties’ stipulation whereby Plaintiff Hardy will file a consolidated amended complaint by August 25, 2022, to which defendants’ response will be due by October 24, 2022.
Embark disputes the allegations in the above-reference matter, intends to defend the matter vigorously, and believes that the claims are without merit. Legal and regulatory proceedings, including the above-referenced matter, may be based on complex claims involving substantial uncertainties and unascertainable damages. Accordingly, it is not possible to determine the probability of loss or estimate damages for the above-referenced matter, and therefore, Embark has not established reserves for this proceeding. If Embark determines that a loss is both probable and reasonably estimable, Embark will record a liability, and, if the liability is material, will disclose the amount of the liability reserved. Given that such proceedings are subject to uncertainty, there can be no assurance that legal proceedings individually or in the aggregate will not have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Factors that could cause our actual results to differ materiallyExcept as set forth herein, there are no other material changes from those in this report include the risk factors describeddiscussed in ourEmbark’s Annual Report on Form 10-K forunder the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 filedheading “Risk Factors.” You should carefully consider these risks, together with management’s discussion and analysis of Embark’s financial condition and results of operations in conjunction 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 liabilitiescondensed consolidated financial statements 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,notes thereto included on our balance sheet as of September 30, 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 remeasurementon Form 10-Q. If any of the fair valueevents contemplated should occur, Embark’s business, results of such derivativesoperations, financial condition and cash flows could suffer significantly.


Embark’s resource-intensive R&D and commercialization activities may require Embark to raise additional funds and these funds may not be available to Embark terms when they are needed. If Embark cannot raise additional funds on attractive terms when it needs them, its strategy, operations and prospects could be negatively affected.
The continued research & development, marketing and commercialization of Embark’s technology is expected to require significant capital expenditures to reach commercial scale. To date, Embark has not generated any revenue and as of June 30, 2022, Embark had cash and cash equivalents of $220.4 million. Embark may need to raise additional capital to continue to fund its R&D and commercialization activities and to improve its liquidity position under its current commercialization plan. Given the current interest rates and capital markets environment, raising additional capital will be challenging, may require acceptance of highly onerous terms or may not be possible at each balance sheet date,all and as a result, Embark may not be able to achieve the level of commercialization it had previously anticipated by 2024. Embark anticipates that if it is not able to raise additional capital within a timeframe consistent with a resulting non-cash gainits 2024 driver out commercialization plans, then it may have to adjust its commercialization plans to explore more limited uses of its technology, alternative services or loss related to the change in the fair value being recognized in earnings in the statementsadjacent

markets. As a result of the recurring fair value measurement, ourany such strategic adjustment, Embark’s financial statements andcondition, results of operations, business, and prospects are expected to be materially adversely affected.
General worldwide economic conditions could adversely affect Embark’s operating results and financial condition.
The U.S. and global economy are facing growing inflation, higher interest rates and potential recession. Adverse changes in economic conditions, high inflation and increasing geopolitical risks, such as the ongoing conflict in the Ukraine, could harm Embark’s operating results and financial conditions. Regional or global economic downturns could adversely affect demand for Embark’s technology through an impact on demand for freight shipping, impairment of the profit margins of Embark customers or through other impacts which could adversely affect its operating results. Inflation could also drive increases in Embark’s costs of operations, commodities, labor, materials and services, which Embark may fluctuate quarterly, basednot be able to successfully pass along to its customers. If Embark elects to incur indebtedness, higher interest rates could result in significant cash usage to service such indebtedness. These conditions, should they occur for an extended period of time, could adversely affect Embark and its customers and partners, which ultimately could affect Embark’s operating results and financial condition.

Embark relies on factorsequity-based compensation to attract, retain and motivate its executives and key employees, which are outsidemay result in excessive price pressures on Embark’s Class A common stock and/or shareholder dilution during periods in which Embark’s share price is depressed.

Embark relies upon equity awards including stock option awards, RSUs and PSUs to attract and retain the key talent it relies upon. During periods in which Embark’s share price declines, Embark may be required to issue equity awards covering a larger number of our control. Dueshares than anticipated to meet the current market level of compensation required to retain key executives and employees given the strong demand for talent in the technology industry. As a result, Embark’s share price may face incremental downward pressure as employees sell more shares into the market than anticipated.

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

Proceeds
None.

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/A.
