CALCULATION OF REGISTRATION FEE



Title of Each Class of Securities to be Registered	Amount to be Registered	Proposed Maximum Offering Price Per Share⁽³⁾	Proposed Maximum Aggregate Offering Price⁽³⁾	Amount of Registration Fee⁽⁴⁾
Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share⁽¹⁾⁽²⁾	300,959,003	$9.93	$2,988,522,899.79	$277,036.07
Class V Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share⁽¹⁾	75,880,593	$9.93	$753,494,288.49	$69,848.92
Total			$3,742,017,188.28	$346,884.99

(1)

Based on the estimated maximum number of shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Combined Company Class A Common Stock”), and shares of Class V common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Combined Company Class V Common Stock” and together with the Combined Company Class A Common Stock, the “Combined Company Common Stock”), of the registrant (“VPCC”) to be issued in connection with the Business Combination described herein, estimated solely for the purpose of calculating the registration fee. This number is based on the sum of (a) the product of (i) the sum of (A) 196,651,260 issued and outstanding shares of Dave Class A Common Stock, par value $0.00001 per share (the “Dave Class A Common Stock”), and (B) 55,773,099 issued and outstanding shares of Dave Class V Common Stock, par value $0.00001 per share (the “Dave Class V Common Stock” and together with the Dave Class A Common Stock, the “Dave Stock”) (following the consummation of the Recapitalization), and (ii) an estimated exchange ratio of 1.360523 shares of Combined Company Common Stock for each share of Dave Stock, and (b) the product of (i) 24,557,031, the aggregate number of shares of Dave Class A Common Stock reserved for issuance upon the settlement of options to purchase Dave Class A Common Stock outstanding as of August 31, 2021, and that may be issued after such date pursuant to the terms of the business combination agreement described herein and (ii) an estimated exchange ratio of 1.360523 shares of Combined Company Common Stock for each share of Dave Stock. Upon the effectiveness of the second amended and restated certificate of incorporation of VPCC, the par value of Combined Company Class A Common Stock and Combined Company Class V Common Stock will each be $0.0001 per share. The estimates set forth in this footnote (1) (including, without limitation, with respect to the share counts and exchange ratio) are as of August 31, 2021 and the estimated maximum number of shares of Combined Company Common Stock to be issued in connection with the Business Combination described herein is not expected to exceed the amount set forth above.

(2)	Pursuant to Rule 416(a), there are also being registered an indeterminable number of additional securities as may be issued to prevent dilution resulting from share splits, share dividends or similar transactions.

(3)

Pursuant to Rules 457(c) and 457(f)(1) promulgated under the Securities Act and solely for the purpose of calculating the registration fee, the proposed aggregate maximum offering price of the Combined Company Class A Common Stock is (i) $9.93 (the average of the high and low prices of VPCC Class A common stock as reported on the New York Stock Exchange on October 1, 2021) multiplied by (ii) 300,959,003 shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock to be registered, and the proposed aggregate maximum offering price of the Combined Company Class V Common Stock is (i) $9.93 (the average of the high and low prices of VPCC Class A common stock as reported on the New York Stock Exchange on October 1, 2021) multiplied by (ii) 75,880,593 shares of Combined Company Class V Common Stock to be registered. For purposes of calculating the registration fee, the Combined Class V Common Stock is treated as having the same value as the Combined Company Class A Common Stock as each share of Combined Class V Common Stock common stock is convertible into one share of Combined Class A Common Stock.

The Registrant hereby amends this Registration Statement on such date or dates as may be necessary to delay its effective date until the Registrant shall file a further amendment which specifically states that this Registration Statement shall thereafter become effective in accordance with Section 8(a) of the Securities Act or until this Registration Statement shall become effective on such date as the Securities and Exchange Commission, acting pursuant to said Section 8(a), may determine.

The information in this preliminary proxy statement/prospectus is not complete and may be changed. We may not sell these securities until the registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission is effective. This preliminary proxy statement/prospectus is not an offer to sell these securities and it is not soliciting an offer to buy these securities in any state where the offer or sale is not permitted.

300,959,003 SHARES OF CLASS A COMMON STOCK

AND

75,880,593 SHARES OF CLASS V COMMON STOCK

VPC IMPACT ACQUISITION HOLDINGS III, INC.

TO BE RENAMED “DAVE INC.” FOLLOWING THE BUSINESS COMBINATION DESCRIBED HEREIN)

Dear VPC Impact Acquisition Holdings III, Inc. Stockholders:

On June 7, 2021, VPC Impact Acquisition Holdings III, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“VPCC”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as it may be amended and/or restated from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among VPCC, Dave Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Dave”), Bear Merger Company I Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of VPCC (“First Merger Sub”), and Bear Merger Company II LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of VPCC (“Second Merger Sub” and together with the First Merger Sub, the “Merger Subs”). If (i) the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby are adopted by Dave Stockholders (as defined below), (ii) the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the issuance of Combined Company Class A Common Stock (as defined below) and Combined Company Class V Common Stock (as defined below) to be issued as the merger consideration, are approved by the VPCC Stockholders (as defined below), and (iii) the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby are subsequently completed, First Merger Sub will merge with and into Dave (the “First Merger”), with Dave surviving the First Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of VPCC (such company, in its capacity as the surviving corporation of the First Merger, the “Surviving Corporation”), immediately followed by the Surviving Corporation merging with and into Second Merger Sub (the “Second Merger,” the Second Merger together with the First Merger, the “Mergers” and the Mergers together with the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the “Business Combination” or the “Transactions”), with Second Merger Sub (such entity, following the Second Merger, the “Surviving Entity”) surviving the Second Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of VPCC (VPCC following such Mergers, hereinafter referred to as the “Combined Company”). Following the Mergers, the Combined Company will operate under the name “Dave Inc.” and the Surviving Entity will operate under the name “Dave Operating LLC��.

The Merger Agreement, provides, among other things, that prior to the closing of the Mergers (the “Closing”), Dave will take all necessary action to cause the following transactions (collectively referred to in this proxy statement/prospectus as the “Recapitalization”):

•

each share of Dave preferred stock that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the First Merger (the “Effective Time”) to automatically convert into a number of shares of Dave common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (the “Dave Common Stock”), at their respective conversion ratio;

•

a dual-class common stock structure to be implemented consisting of (x) Class A common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (the “Dave Class A Common Stock”), with respect to which each holder thereof has one vote per share on each matter that is subject to the vote of the stockholders of Dave (the “Dave Stockholders”), and (y) Class V common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (the “Dave Class V Common Stock” and together with the Dave Class A Common Stock (including any vested shares of restricted Dave Common Stock), the “Dave Stock”), with respect to which each holder thereof has 10 votes per share on each matter that is subject to the vote of the Dave Stockholders;

•

each authorized share of the Dave Common Stock to automatically convert, effective as of the Recapitalization, into one share of Dave Class A Common Stock; and

•

immediately thereafter, each share of Dave Class A Common Stock held by Jason Wilk, the Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder of Dave (“Mr. Wilk”), as of immediately prior to the consummation of the Recapitalization to be exchanged or converted into one share of Dave Class V Common Stock.

The Dave Stockholders (including holders of restricted shares of Dave Common Stock (“Dave Restricted Stock”)) and holders of vested Dave Options (as defined below) will receive an aggregate merger consideration pursuant to the Merger Agreement with an implied value of $3,500,000,000 (the “Equity Value”), consisting of a number of shares of Combined Company Common Stock, with each deemed to have a value of $10.00 per share, equal to the Equity Value divided by $10.00 (such aggregate merger consideration, the “Aggregate Stock Consideration”).

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time (and following the consummation of the Recapitalization), (a) each share of Dave Class A Common Stock held by the Dave Stockholders will be cancelled and automatically converted into the right to receive a number of shares of newly issued Class A common stock of the Combined Company, par value $0.0001 (“Combined Company Class A Common Stock”), equal to an exchange ratio (the “Per Share Dave Stock Consideration”) determined by dividing the Aggregate Stock Consideration by the sum of (without duplication): (i) the aggregate number of shares of Dave Stock outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and following the consummation of the Recapitalization (including all shares of Dave Restricted Stock, whether vested or unvested); (ii) the aggregate number of shares of Dave Stock that are issuable upon the exercise or settlement of all Dave Options and Dave Non-Plan Options (in each case, as defined below) that are unexpired, issued, outstanding and vested as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (assuming, for purposes of this calculation, that all such Dave Options and Dave Non-Plan Options are exercised on a net exercise basis based on the assumption, solely for purposes of this calculation, that the fair market value of each share underlying such Dave Options or Dave Non-Plan Options equals (x) the Per Share Dave Stock Consideration multiplied by (y) ten dollars ($10.00)); and (iii) the aggregate number of shares of Dave Stock that are issuable upon the exercise or settlement of all Dave Warrants that are unexpired, issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (assuming, for purposes of this calculation, that all such Dave Warrants are vested and exercised on a net exercise basis based on the assumption, solely for purposes of this calculation, that the fair market value of each share underlying such Dave Warrants equals the (x) Per Share Dave Stock Consideration multiplied by (y) ten dollars ($10.00)) (the “Dave Stock Adjusted Fully Diluted Shares”) and (b) each share of Dave Class V Common Stock held by the Dave Stockholders will be cancelled and automatically converted into the right to receive a number of shares of newly authorized and issued Class V common stock of the Combined Company, par value $0.0001 (“Combined Company Class V Common Stock” and together with the Combined Company Class A Common Stock, “Combined Company Common Stock”), equal to the Per Share Dave Stock Consideration.

Each option to purchase shares of capital stock of Dave (“Dave Option”) that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time (whether vested or unvested) (other than certain options to purchase shares of capital stock of Dave granted outside of the terms and conditions of Dave’s stock plans (“Dave Non-Plan Options”)) will be automatically assumed by the Combined Company and converted into an option to acquire an adjusted number of shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock (pursuant to a ratio based on the Per Share Dave Stock Consideration) (each such resulting option, a “Rollover Option”) at an adjusted exercise price per share and will continue to be governed by substantially the same terms and conditions (including vesting and exercisability terms) as were applicable to the corresponding former Dave Option, except to the extent such terms or conditions are rendered inoperative by the Transactions or such other immaterial administrative or ministerial changes as the parties to the Merger Agreement may determine are appropriate to effectuate the administration of the Rollover Options. The shares of Dave Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of Dave Options that are outstanding, unexercised and unvested immediately prior to the Effective Time (such options, the “Unvested Dave Options”) are not included in the calculation of the “Dave Stock Adjusted Fully Diluted Shares” for purposes of the calculation of the Per Share Dave Stock Consideration, and the shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of Rollover Options representing at the Effective Time Unvested Dave Options (such shares, “Unvested Rollover Option Shares”) are not

considered a part of the Aggregate Stock Consideration. The Unvested Rollover Option Shares will reduce the shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock initially available for issuance under the new equity incentive plan that the Combined Company will adopt as of the Closing.

Each Dave Non-Plan Option that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time will be automatically cancelled for no consideration.

Each award of Dave Restricted Stock that is outstanding and unvested immediately prior to the Effective Time will be automatically assumed by VPCC and converted into an award of restricted stock with respect to an adjusted number of shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock (pursuant to a ratio based on the Per Share Dave Stock Consideration) (the “Rollover Restricted Stock”) and will continue to be governed by substantially the same terms and conditions (including vesting terms) as were applicable to the corresponding former Dave Restricted Stock, except to the extent such terms or conditions are rendered inoperative by the Transactions or such other immaterial administrative or ministerial changes as the parties to the Merger Agreement may determine are appropriate to effectuate the administration of the Rollover Restricted Stock.

Each warrant to purchase shares of capital stock of Dave (“Dave Warrants”) that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time will be automatically terminated in accordance with the terms of the applicable Dave Warrant and be of no further force or effect as of the Effective Time.

Pursuant to the terms of the Founder Holder Agreement, the Initial Stockholders have agreed to (a) surrender to VPCC, on a pro rata basis, immediately prior to the consummation of the Mergers and for no consideration, up to 951,622 shares of VPCC Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “VPCC Class A Common Stock”) (after giving effect to the conversion in connection with the Closing of all then-outstanding shares of VPCC Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “VPCC Class B Common Stock”)) comprising the Founder Holder Contingent Closing Shares (as defined in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus), in the event that the number of shares of VPCC Class A Common Stock equal to (x) the shares of VPCC Class A Common Stock held by the VPCC Stockholders (other than the Founder Holders) that are redeemed in connection with the VPCC Share Redemptions minus (y) the shares of VPCC Class A Common Stock purchased by Sponsor or one or more of its affiliates or certain related parties prior to the Closing in connection with a VPCC Share Redemptions Alternative Financing (as defined in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus), represents greater than 20% of the shares of VPCC Class A Common Stock held by the VPCC Stockholders as of the date of the Merger Agreement; and (b) forfeit on a pro rata basis, up to 1,586,037 shares of VPCC Class A Common Stock comprising the Founder Holder Earnout Shares in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, such that 100% of the Founder Holder Earnout Shares will be forfeited in the event that the Combined Company Class A Common Stock does not achieve certain trading price as later disclosed in this proxy statement/prospectus.

In addition, pursuant to Subscription Agreements that VPCC entered into with certain investors (the “PIPE Investors”) substantially concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, immediately prior to the consummation of the Mergers, such PIPE Investors will purchase an aggregate of 21,000,000 shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock for $10.00 per share. On August 17, 2021, one of the investors agreed to pre-fund its $15,000,000 obligation under the Subscription Agreement for a promissory note convertible into 1,500,000 shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock at Closing (as such term is defined in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus).

It is anticipated that following the Closing: (a) the Public Stockholders (as defined in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus) are expected to own approximately 6.5% of the outstanding shares of Combined Company Common Stock and hold approximately 2.5% of the voting power; (b) Dave Stockholders are expected to own approximately 86.5% of the outstanding shares of Combined Company Common Stock and hold approximately 94.9% of the voting power, of which Mr. Wilk is expected to own approximately 18.2% of the outstanding shares of Combined Company Common Stock and hold approximately 69.0% of the voting power; (c) the Initial Stockholders (as defined in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus) are expected to collectively own approximately 1.6% of the outstanding shares of Combined Company Common Stock and hold approximately 0.6% of the voting power and (d) the PIPE Investors are expected to own approximately 5.4% of the outstanding

shares of Combined Company Common Stock and hold approximately 2.0% of the voting power. These percentages assume (i) that no Public Stockholders exercise their redemption rights in connection with the proposed Business Combination, (ii) the issuance of 21,000,000 shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock to the PIPE Investors and (iii) none of the outstanding warrants to purchase Combined Company Class A Common Stock are exercised. If there are redemptions by the Public Stockholders up to the maximum level that would permit completion of the Business Combination, (a) the Public Stockholders will own none of the outstanding shares of Combined Company Common Stock and hold none of the voting power; (b) Dave Stockholders will own approximately 92.9% of the outstanding shares of Combined Company Common Stock and hold approximately 97.5% of the voting power, of which Mr. Wilk is expected to own approximately 20.5% of the outstanding shares of Combined Company Common Stock and hold approximately 72.1% of the voting power; (c) the Initial Stockholders will own approximately 1.5% of the outstanding shares of Combined Company Common Stock and hold approximately 0.5% of the voting power; and (d) the PIPE Investors will own approximately 5.7% of the outstanding shares of Combined Company Common Stock and hold approximately 2.0% of the voting power. These percentages assume (i) that 25,376,598 Public Stockholders exercise their redemption rights in connection with the proposed Business Combination and (ii) the issuance of 21,000,000 shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock to the PIPE Investors. Immediately following the Closing, Mr. Wilk and his permitted transferees will control the Combined Company and the Combined Company will be a controlled company within the meaning of the corporate governance standards of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”). For a description of the exemptions from Nasdaq’s corporate governance standards that are available to controlled companies, please see the section titled “Combined Company Management After the Business Combination—Controlled Company Exemption.”

VPCC’s units, VPCC Class A Common Stock and public warrants are publicly traded on the NYSE under the ticker symbols “VPCC.U,” “VPCC” and “VPCC WS,” respectively. We intend to apply to list the Combined Company Common Stock, including shares of the Combined Company Common Stock issued in connection with the Mergers, and the public warrants on Nasdaq under the symbols “DAVE” and “DAVEW” upon the Closing. VPCC will not have units traded following the Closing. Following the Closing, VPCC intends to change its name to Dave Inc.

VPCC will hold a special meeting of the VPCC Stockholders (the “Special Meeting”) to consider matters relating to the proposed Mergers. VPCC and Dave cannot complete the Mergers unless (i) the VPCC Stockholders approve the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the issuance of Combined Company Class A Common Stock and Combined Company Class V Common Stock to be issued as the merger consideration, and (ii) the Dave Stockholders consent to the adoption and approval of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby. VPCC is sending you the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus to ask you to vote in favor of these and the other matters described in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus.

In light of the ongoing developments related to the COVID-19 pandemic and to protect the health of VPCC Stockholders and the community, the Special Meeting will be a completely virtual meeting of stockholders conducted via live audio webcast. You will be able to attend the Special Meeting by visiting [●] and entering your control number as further explained in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus.

YOUR VOTE IS VERY IMPORTANT, REGARDLESS OF THE NUMBER OF SHARES OF VPCC COMMON STOCK YOU OWN. Whether or not you plan to attend the Special Meeting, please vote as soon as possible by following the instructions in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus to make sure that your shares are represented at the Special Meeting. If you hold your shares in “street name” through a bank, broker or other nominee, you will need to follow the instructions provided to you by your bank, broker or other nominee to ensure that your shares are represented and voted at the Special Meeting.

After careful consideration, the board of directors of VPCC has approved the Merger Agreement, the Mergers and the Business Combination and recommends that stockholders vote “FOR” adoption of the Merger Agreement and approval of the Business Combination, and “FOR” all other proposals presented to the VPCC Stockholders in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus.

The accompanying proxy statement/prospectus provides you with detailed information about the proposed Business Combination. It also contains or references information about VPCC and Dave and certain related matters. You are encouraged to read the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus carefully.

The above matters are more fully described in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus. We urge you to read carefully the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus in its entirety, including the Annexes and the accompanying financial statements of VPCC and Dave.

The record date for the Special Meeting is [●], 2021. Only VPCC Stockholders of record at the close of business on that date may vote at the Special Meeting or any adjournment thereof. A complete list of the VPCC Stockholders of record entitled to vote at the Special Meeting will be available for 10 days before the Special Meeting at VPCC’s principal executive offices for inspection by stockholders during ordinary business hours for any purpose germane to the Special Meeting. The eligible stockholder list will also be available at the Special Meeting for examination by any stockholder of record present at such meeting.

We are providing the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus and accompanying proxy card to the VPCC Stockholders in connection with the solicitation of proxies to be voted at the Special Meeting and at any adjournments of the Special Meeting. Information about the Special Meeting, the Business Combination and other related business to be considered by the VPCC Stockholders at the Special Meeting is included in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus. Whether or not you plan to attend the Special Meeting, we urge all of the VPCC Stockholders to read the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus, including the Annexes and the accompanying financial statements of VPCC and Dave, carefully and in their entirety.

After careful consideration, the VPCC Board has approved the Business Combination and recommends that the VPCC Stockholders vote “FOR” adoption of the Merger Agreement and approval of the Business Combination, including the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and the Mergers, and “FOR” all other proposals presented to the VPCC Stockholders in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus. When you consider the VPCC Board’s recommendation of these proposals, you should keep in mind that VPCC’s directors and officers have interests in the Business Combination that may conflict with your interests as a stockholder. Please see the sections titled “The Business Combination and the Merger Agreement—Interests of Certain VPCC Persons in the Business Combination” and “VPCC Special Meeting of Stockholders—Recommendation to VPCC Stockholders” for additional information.

In connection with VPCC’s initial public offering (the “IPO”), VPC Impact Acquisition Holdings Sponsor III, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (our “Sponsor”) and the other holders of VPCC Class B Common Stock prior to the IPO (the “Initial Stockholders”), agreed to vote all shares of VPCC Class B Common Stock and any shares of VPCC Class A Common Stock purchased during or after the IPO in favor of the Business Combination. Currently, the Initial Stockholders own approximately 20.0% of VPCC’s issued and outstanding common stock, including all of the outstanding shares of VPCC Class B Common Stock.

Pursuant to VPCC’s Existing Charter, a holder of VPCC’s Public Shares (as defined below) may request that VPCC redeem all or a portion of such stockholder’s Public Shares for cash if the Business Combination is consummated. You will be entitled to receive cash for any Public Shares to be redeemed if, prior to 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on [●], 2021 (two business days before the scheduled date of the Special Meeting), you (i) tender your Public Shares physically or electronically and (ii) submit a request in writing that VPCC redeem your Public Shares for cash, including the legal name, phone number and address of the beneficial owner of the shares for which redemption is requested to VPCC’s transfer agent.

Holders of units issued in the IPO (“Units”) must elect to separate the underlying shares (“Public Shares”) and warrants (“Public Warrants”) prior to exercising redemption rights with respect to the Public Shares. If holders hold their Units in an account at a brokerage firm or bank, holders must notify their broker or bank that they elect to separate the Units into the underlying Public Shares and Public Warrants, or if a holder holds Units registered in its own name, the holder must contact the transfer agent directly and instruct it to separate the Units. The redemption rights include the requirement that a holder must identify itself in writing as a beneficial holder and provide its legal name, phone number and address to the transfer agent in order to validly redeem its shares. Public Stockholders may elect to redeem their Public Shares even if they vote “for” the Business Combination Proposal. If the Business Combination is not consummated, the Public Shares will not be redeemed for cash. If a Public Stockholder (as defined below) properly exercises its right to redeem its Public Shares and timely delivers its shares to the transfer agent, VPCC will redeem each Public Share for a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account established in connection with the IPO (the “Trust Account”), calculated as of two business days prior to the Closing, including interest not previously released to VPCC to pay its income taxes, divided by the number of then issued and outstanding Public Shares. For illustrative purposes, based on the fair value of marketable securities held in the Trust Account as of September 30, 2021 of approximately $253,782,145.56, this would have amounted to approximately $10.00 per Public Share. If a Public Stockholder exercises its redemption rights, then it will be exchanging its redeemed Public Shares for cash and will no longer own such shares. See the section titled “VPCC Special Meeting of Stockholders—Redemption Rights” in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus for a detailed description of the procedures to be followed if you wish to redeem your Public Shares for cash.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a holder of Public Shares, together with any affiliate of such Public Stockholder or any other person with whom such Public Stockholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from redeeming its Public Shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the Public Shares without VPCC’s prior consent. Accordingly, if a Public Stockholder, alone or acting in concert or as a group, seeks to redeem more than 15% of the Public Shares, then any such shares in excess of that 15% limit would not be redeemed for cash unless such stockholder first obtains VPCC’s prior consent.

The Merger Agreement provides that the obligation of Dave to consummate the Business Combination is conditioned on the amount in the Trust Account, following payment to all holders of VPCC Class A Common Stock in connection with VPCC Share Redemptions (as defined below), plus the amount of funds available to VPCC outside of the Trust Account at the Closing, plus the proceeds of the PIPE Investment and the amount of any alternative financing with respect to the PIPE Investment, on terms and conditions no less favorable in the aggregate than the PIPE Investment (the “VPCC Available Cash”), equaling or exceeding $210,000,000. This minimum cash condition to Closing in the Merger Agreement is for the sole benefit of Dave and may be waived by it. If this condition becomes incapable of being satisfied at the Closing and continues to be incapable of being satisfied at the Closing for a period of 30 business days (after giving effect to any alternative financing that may be arranged with respect to the PIPE Investment), Dave may elect not to consummate the Business Combination and may terminate the Merger Agreement.

In no event will VPCC redeem Public Shares in an amount that would result in its net tangible assets (as determined in accordance with Rule 3a51-1(g)(1) of the Exchange Act) being less than $5,000,001. Holders of Public Warrants do not have redemption rights in connection with the Business Combination.

VPCC’s Initial Stockholders have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to shares of VPCC Class B Common Stock and with respect to any Public Shares they may have held in connection with the Closing and to convert such shares of VPCC Class B Common Stock into shares of VPCC Class A Common Stock in connection with the Closing. The shares of Class B common stock will be excluded from the pro rata calculation used to determine the per-share redemption price at the time of the redemptions.

The approval of each of the Business Combination Proposal, the Governance Proposals (on an advisory basis), the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan Proposal, the Employee Stock Purchase Plan Proposal, the Share Issuance Proposal, the Repurchase Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by holders of outstanding VPCC shares of common stock represented in person or by proxy at the Special Meeting and entitled to vote thereon. The approval of the Charter Amendment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of VPCC’s shares of common stock entitled to vote thereon. Directors are elected by a plurality of all of the votes cast by holders of VPCC’s outstanding shares of common stock represented in person or by proxy at the Special Meeting and entitled to vote thereon.

Your vote is very important. Whether or not you plan to attend the Special Meeting via live audio webcast, please vote as soon as possible by following the instructions in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus to make sure that your shares are represented at the Special Meeting. If you hold your shares in “street name” through a bank, broker or other nominee, you will need to follow the instructions provided to you by your bank, broker or other nominee to ensure that your shares are represented and voted at the Special Meeting. The Business Combination and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement will be consummated only if the Business Combination Proposal, the Charter Amendment Proposal, the Director Election Proposal, the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan Proposal, the Employee Stock Purchase Plan Proposal, the Share Issuance Proposal and the Repurchase Proposal are approved at the Special Meeting. Each of the Business Combination Proposal, the Charter Amendment Proposal, the Director Election Proposal, the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan Proposal, the Employee Stock Purchase Plan Proposal, the Share Issuance Proposal and the Repurchase Proposal are cross-conditioned on the approval of each other. The Governance Proposals and the Adjournment Proposal are not conditioned on the approval of any other Proposals.

If you sign, date and return your proxy card without indicating how you wish to vote, your proxy will be voted FOR each of the proposals presented at the Special Meeting. If you fail to return your proxy card or fail to instruct your bank, broker or other nominee how to vote, and do not attend the Special Meeting electronically, the effect will be that your shares will not be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present at the Special Meeting. If you are a stockholder of record and you attend the Special Meeting and wish to vote electronically at the Special Meeting, you may withdraw your proxy and vote electronically at the Special Meeting.

Your attention is directed to the proxy statement/prospectus accompanying this notice (including the annexes thereto) for a more complete description of the Merger Agreement, proposed Business Combination and related

transactions and each of the proposals. We encourage you to read the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus carefully. If you have any questions or need assistance voting your common stock, please contact VPCC’s proxy solicitor, Morrow Sodali LLC, at (800) 662-5200 (toll free) or banks and brokers can call collect at (203) 658-9400, or by email to [●].

Thank you for your participation. We look forward to your continued support.


By Order of the VPCC Board,


Gordon Watson Co-Chief Executive Officer

A:	Below are the proposals on which VPCC Stockholders will vote at the Special Meeting.

Proposal No. 1—The Business Combination Proposal—To consider and vote upon a proposal to approve the Merger Agreement, by and among Dave, VPCC, First Merger Sub, and Second Merger Sub, pursuant to which First Merger Sub will merge with and into Dave (the “First Merger”), with Dave being the surviving corporation of the First Merger (the “Surviving Corporation”), and immediately following the First Merger, the Surviving Corporation will merge with and into Second Merger Sub (the “Second Merger,” together with the First Merger, the “Mergers” and the Mergers together with the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the “Business Combination”), with Second Merger Sub being the surviving company of the Second Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of VPCC (VPCC following such Mergers, hereinafter referred to as the “Combined Company”).

Proposal No. 3B—To consider and vote upon an amendment to VPCC’s Existing Charter to authorize a dual class common stock structure pursuant to which holders of Combined Company Class A Common Stock will be entitled to one vote per share and holders of Combined Company Class V Common Stock will be entitled to ten votes per share on each matter properly submitted to the Combined Company’s stockholders entitled to vote.

any vacancies in previously authorized directorships (the “Whole Board”) or the holders of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the voting power of all then-outstanding shares of capital stock of the Combined Company entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class, for the adoption, amendment, or repeal of any provision of the bylaws (in addition to any vote of the holders of any class or series of stock of required by applicable law or by the Proposed Charter of the Combined Company); provided, however, that if two-thirds (2/3) of the Whole Board has approved such adoption, amendment or repeal, then only the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the voting power of all then-outstanding shares of capital stock of the Combined Company entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class, shall be required to adopt, amend or repeal any provision of the Bylaws;

We refer to Proposals No. 3A through 3H collectively as the “Governance Proposals.”

Proposal No. 4—The Director Election Proposal—a proposal to elect, assuming the Business Combination Proposal, the Charter Amendment Proposal and the NYSE Proposal are all approved and adopted, [●] directors to the Combined Company’s board of directors (the “Director Election Proposal”).

Proposal No. 7—The Share Issuance Proposal—a proposal to approve, assuming the Business Combination Proposal and the Charter Amendment Proposal are approved and adopted, for purposes of complying with applicable NYSE Listing Rules, the issuance of more than 20% of VPCC’s issued and outstanding common stock in connection with the Business Combination, the PIPE Investment and any other subscription agreements VPCC may enter into prior to Closing, and the related change in control (collectively, the “Share Issuance Proposal”).

Proposal No. 8—The Repurchase Proposal—a proposal to approve the Repurchase Agreement, dated as of June 7, 2021, by and among VPCC, Jason Wilk, Kyle Beilman and Dave wherein VPCC agreed to

repurchase Combined Company Common Shares from Jason Wilk and Kyle Beilman at $10.00 per share, effective as of the Business Day following the effective time of the Second Merger (the “Repurchase Agreement”) and the transactions contemplated by the Repurchase Agreement (the “Repurchase Proposal”).

Q:	Are the Proposals conditioned on one another?

Yes. The Closing is conditioned on the approval of the Business Combination Proposal, the Charter Amendment Proposal, the Director Election Proposal, the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan Proposal, the Employee Stock Purchase Plan Proposal, the Share Issuance Proposal and the Repurchase Proposal at the Special Meeting. Each of the Business Combination Proposal, the Charter Amendment Proposal, the Director Election Proposal, the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan Proposal, the Employee Stock Purchase Plan Proposal, the Share Issuance Proposal and the Repurchase Proposal are cross-conditioned on the approval of each other. The Governance Proposals and the Adjournment Proposal are not conditioned on the approval of any of the other Proposals.

Q:	Why is VPCC providing stockholders with the opportunity to vote on the Business Combination?

Under VPCC’s Existing Charter, VPCC must provide all holders of Public Shares with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares upon the consummation of an initial business combination either in conjunction with a tender offer or in conjunction with a stockholder vote. For business and other reasons, VPCC has elected to provide its Public Stockholders with the opportunity to have their Public Shares redeemed in connection with a stockholder vote rather than a tender offer. Therefore, VPCC is seeking to obtain the approval of its stockholders of the Business Combination Proposal in order to allow its Public Stockholders to effectuate their VPCC Share Redemptions in connection with the Closing. The approval of VPCC Stockholders of the Business Combination Proposal is also a condition to the Closing in the Merger Agreement.

Q:	What will happen in the Business Combination?

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, and upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, VPCC will acquire Dave in a series of transactions we collectively refer to as the “Business Combination.” At the Closing, among other things, First Merger Sub will merge with and into Dave, with Dave continuing as the surviving corporation, and Second Merger Sub will merge with and into Dave, with Second Merger Sub continuing as the surviving company. As a result of the Mergers, at the Closing, VPCC will own 100% of the outstanding equity interests of the surviving company and each share of capital stock, as well as securities convertible or exercisable for shares of capital stock, of Dave will have been cancelled and converted into the right to receive the Per Share Dave Stock Consideration in accordance with the Merger Agreement.

A copy of the Merger Agreement is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex A. For more information about the Merger Agreement and the Business Combination, see the section titled “The Business Combination and the Merger Agreement.”

Q:	What conditions must be satisfied to complete the Business Combination?

There are a number of closing conditions in the Merger Agreement, including the approval by VPCC Stockholders of the Business Combination Proposal, the Charter Amendment Proposal, the Director Election Proposal, the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan Proposal, the Employee Stock Purchase Plan Proposal, the Share Issuance Proposal and the Repurchase Proposal. For a summary of the conditions that must be satisfied or waived prior to the Closing, see the section titled “The Business Combination and the Merger Agreement—The Merger Agreement—Conditions to the Completion of the Mergers.”

Q:	How will VPCC be managed and governed following the Business Combination?

Following the Closing, it is expected that the current senior management of Dave will comprise the senior management of the Combined Company, and, assuming the election of the nominees at the Special Meeting as set forth in the Director Election Proposal, the Combined Company’s board of directors will consist of Jason Wilk, Dan Preston, [●] and Brendan Carroll. Please see the section titled “Management After the Business Combination.”

Q:	What equity stake will current VPCC Public Stockholders, the PIPE Investors, the Initial Stockholders and Dave Stockholders hold in VPCC following the consummation of the Transactions?

It is anticipated that, upon completion of the Transactions, assuming no VPCC Share Redemptions (which we refer to as the “no redemption scenario”) and subject to the assumptions set forth below, the concentration of ownership of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Combined Company will be as follows:


Beneficial Owners	Ownership Percentage
VPCC’s existing Public Stockholders (collectively, but excluding any shares issued to such persons in connection with the PIPE Investment)		6.5%
Initial Stockholders		1.6%
Dave Interest Holders		86.5%
PIPE Investors (collectively, but excluding any Public Shares held by such persons)		5.4%

Alternatively, it is anticipated that, upon completion of the Transactions, assuming no VPCC Share Redemptions in excess of the amount required to satisfy the minimum cash condition set forth in the Merger Agreement (which we refer to as the “maximum redemption scenario”) and subject to the assumptions set forth below, the concentration of ownership of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Combined Company will be as follows:


Beneficial Owners	Ownership Percentage
VPCC’s existing Public Stockholders (collectively, but excluding any shares issued to such persons in connection with the PIPE Investment)		0%
Initial Stockholders		1.5%
Dave Interest Holders		92.9%
PIPE Investors (collectively, but excluding any Public Shares held by such persons)		5.7%

Redemptions resulting in the surrender (x) in the case of the no redemption scenario, of no shares of VPCC Class B Common Stock and (y) in the case of the maximum redemption scenario, of no shares of VPCC Class B Common Stock, (4) that immediately after the Closing, the total number of shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock outstanding will be equal to (x) in the case of the no redemption scenario, approximately 319,293,816 and (y) in the case of the maximum redemption scenario, approximately 294,165,596 and (5) the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Repurchase Agreement, on the basis of the assumptions set forth in clause (b) hereof with respect to the VPCC Share Redemptions, resulting in the repurchase (x) in the case of the no redemption scenario, of 6,000,000 shares of Combined Company Common Stock pursuant to the Repurchase Agreement immediately following the Closing and (y) in the case of the maximum redemption scenario, of no shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock pursuant to the Repurchase Agreement.

Please see the sections titled “Summary of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus—Ownership after the Closing; Impact of the Business Combination on the Combined Company’s Public Float,” “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information” and “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management” for further information.

Q:	Why is VPCC proposing the Charter Amendment Proposal?

The Proposed Charter that VPCC is asking its stockholders to approve in connection with the Business Combination provides for, among other things, certain amendments to VPCC’s Existing Charter. Pursuant to Delaware law and the Merger Agreement, we are required to submit the Charter Amendment Proposal to the VPCC Stockholders for adoption. See the section titled “Proposal No. 2—The Charter Amendment Proposal” for additional information.

Q:	Why is VPCC proposing the Governance Proposals?

As required by applicable SEC guidance, VPCC is requesting that its stockholders vote upon, on a non-binding advisory basis, eight separate proposals to approve certain governance provisions contained in the Proposed Charter that materially affect stockholder rights. This separate vote on the Governance Proposals is not otherwise required by Delaware law, but pursuant to SEC guidance, VPCC is required to submit these provisions to its stockholders separately for approval. However, the stockholder vote regarding the Governance Proposals is an advisory vote, and is not binding on VPCC or the VPCC Board, in contrast to the vote on the Charter Amendment Proposal, which will be binding on VPCC and the VPCC Board. Furthermore, the Business Combination is not conditioned on the separate approval of the Governance Proposals.

See the section titled “Proposals No. 3A through 3H—The Governance Proposals” for additional information.

Q:	Why is VPCC proposing the Director Election Proposal?

A:	VPCC is proposing the Director Election Proposal because the election of [●] to the Combined Company’s board of directors is a condition to the Closing in the Merger Agreement. See the section titled “Proposal No. 4—The Director Election Proposal” for additional information.

Q:	Why is VPCC proposing the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan Proposal?

A:	VPCC is proposing the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan Proposal because the adoption of the 2021 Plan is a condition to the Closing in the Merger Agreement. See the section titled “Proposal No. 5—The 2021 Equity Incentive Plan Proposal” for additional information.

Q:	Why is VPCC proposing the Employee Stock Purchase Plan Proposal?

A:	VPCC is proposing the Employee Stock Purchase Plan Proposal because the adoption of the Employee Stock Purchase Plan is a condition to the Closing in the Merger Agreement. See the section titled “Proposal No. 6—The Employee Stock Purchase Plan Proposal” for additional information.

Q:	Why is VPCC proposing the Share Issuance Proposal?

VPCC is proposing the Share Issuance Proposal in order to comply with NYSE listing rules, which require stockholder approval of certain transactions that result in the issuance of 20% or more of a company’s outstanding voting power or shares of common stock outstanding before the issuance of stock or securities. In connection with the Transactions, VPCC intends to issue (subject to customary terms and conditions, including the Closing) (i) approximately 343,653,661 shares of Combined Company Common Stock in the Business Combination in both the no redemption and maximum redemption scenarios (6,000,000 of which would immediately be repurchased by VPCC in the no redemption scenario pursuant to the Repurchase Agreement) (which amount does not include the shares underlying the Rollover Options) and (ii) 21,000,000 shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock in the PIPE Investment, plus any additional shares pursuant to subscription agreements VPCC may enter into prior to Closing. Because VPCC will issue 20% or more of its outstanding voting power and outstanding common stock in connection with the Transactions, it is required to obtain stockholder approval of such issuances pursuant to NYSE listing rules. Stockholder approval of the Share Issuance Proposal is also a condition to the Closing in the Merger Agreement. See the section titled “Proposal No. 7—The Share Issuance Proposal” for additional information.

Q:	Why is VPCC proposing the Repurchase Proposal?

A:	VPCC is proposing the Repurchase Proposal because the approval of the Repurchase is a condition to the Closing in the Merger Agreement. See the section titled “Proposal No. 8—The Repurchase Proposal” for additional information.

Q:	What happens if I sell my shares of VPCC Class A Common Stock before the Special Meeting?

The record date for the Special Meeting is earlier than the date that the Business Combination is expected to be completed. If you transfer your shares of VPCC Class A Common Stock after the record date, but before the Special Meeting, unless the transferee obtains from you a proxy to vote those shares, you will retain your right to vote at the Special Meeting. However, you will not be able to seek redemption of your shares of VPCC Class A Common Stock because you will no longer be able to deliver them for cancellation upon the Closing in accordance with the provisions described herein. If you transfer your shares of VPCC Class A Common Stock prior to the record date, you will have no right to vote those shares at the Special Meeting or redeem those shares for a pro rata portion of the proceeds held in the Trust Account.

Q:	What vote is required to approve the Proposals presented at the Special Meeting?

Approval of each of the Business Combination Proposal, the Governance Proposals (on an advisory basis), the Share Issuance Proposal, the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan Proposal, the Employee Stock Purchase Plan Proposal, the Repurchase Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal, requires the affirmative vote (in person or by proxy) of the holders of the majority of the outstanding shares of VPCC Class A Common Stock and VPCC Class B Common Stock entitled to vote and actually cast thereon at the Special Meeting, voting as a single class. Approval of the Charter Amendment Proposal requires the affirmative vote (in person or by proxy) of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of VPCC Class A Common Stock and VPCC Class B Common Stock entitled to vote thereon at the Special Meeting, voting as a single class. Directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast by holders of the outstanding shares of VPCC Class A Common Stock and VPCC Class B Common Stock represented in person or by proxy at the Special Meeting and entitled to vote thereon. This means that the [●] director nominees who receive the most affirmative votes will be elected. Stockholders may not cumulate their votes with respect to the election of directors.

Q:	May our Sponsor, directors, officers, advisors or their affiliates purchase shares in connection with the Business Combination?

In connection with the stockholder vote to approve the proposed Business Combination, our Sponsor, directors, officers, or advisors or their respective affiliates may privately negotiate transactions to purchase shares from stockholders who would have otherwise elected to have their shares redeemed in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules for a per share pro rata portion of the Trust Account. None of our Sponsor, directors, officers or advisors or their respective affiliates will make any such purchases when they are in possession of any material non-public information not disclosed to the other VPCC Stockholders. Such a purchase would include a contractual acknowledgement that such stockholder, although still the record holder of our shares, is no longer the beneficial owner thereof and therefore agrees not to exercise its redemption rights, and could include a contractual provision that directs such stockholder to vote such shares in a manner directed by the purchaser. In the event that our Sponsor, directors, officers or advisors or their affiliates purchase shares in privately negotiated transactions from Public Stockholders who have already elected to exercise their redemption rights, such selling stockholders would be required to revoke their prior elections to redeem their shares. Any such privately negotiated purchases may be effected at purchase prices that are below or in excess of the per share pro rata portion of the Trust Account.

Q:	How many votes do I have at the Special Meeting?

VPCC Stockholders are entitled to one vote at the Special Meeting for each share of VPCC Class A Common Stock or VPCC Class B Common Stock held of record as of [●], 2021, the record date for the Special Meeting. As of the close of business on the record date, there were a combined 31,720,748 outstanding shares of VPCC Class A Common Stock and VPCC Class B Common Stock.

Q:	What constitutes a quorum at the Special Meeting?

Holders of a majority in voting power of VPCC Class A Common Stock and VPCC Class B Common Stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting, present in person or represented by proxy, constitute a quorum. In the absence of a quorum, the chairman of the meeting has the power to adjourn the Special Meeting. As of the record date for the Special Meeting, 31,720,748 shares of VPCC Class A Common Stock and VPCC Class B Common Stock, in the aggregate, would be required to achieve a quorum.

Q:	How will VPCC’s Sponsor, directors and officers vote?

In connection with our IPO, we entered into an agreement with our Sponsor and each of VPCC’s directors and officers, pursuant to which each agreed to vote any shares of VPCC Class A Common Stock and VPCC Class B Common Stock owned by them in favor of the Business Combination Proposal. Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, Dave, VPCC, the Sponsor, the Current Independent Directors, and the other directors and officers of VPCC entered into the Founder Holder Agreement pursuant to which, among other things, the Sponsor and the Current Independent Directors, in their capacity as holders of VPCC Class B Common Stock and/or VPCC Class A Common Stock, agreed to support the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including agreeing to vote in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement at the Special Meeting. Currently, our Sponsor and the Current Independent Directors collectively own approximately 20.0% of our issued and outstanding shares of VPCC Class A Common Stock and VPCC Class B Common Stock, in the aggregate, including all of the Founder Shares.

Q:	What interests do the current officers and directors have in the Business Combination?

A:	In considering the recommendation of the VPCC Board to vote in favor of the Business Combination, stockholders should be aware that, aside from their interests as stockholders, our Sponsor and certain of

VPCC’s directors and officers have interests in the Business Combination that are different from, or in addition to, those of other stockholders generally. These interests include the following, among others:

•

If we do not consummate a business combination by March 9, 2023 (or if such date is extended at a duly called meeting of the VPCC Stockholders, such later date), we would: (1) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (2) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten(10) 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 VPCC Stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any); and (3) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining VPCC Stockholders and the VPCC Board, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to our obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. In such event, the 6,284,150 shares of VPCC Class B Common Stock owned by our Sponsor and the 60,000 shares of VPCC Class B Common Stock owned by the Current Independent Directors would be worthless because following the redemption of the Public Shares, we would likely have few, if any, net assets and because the Sponsor and each of VPCC’s officers and directors have agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such shares if we fail to complete a business combination within the required period. Additionally, in such event, the 5,100,214 Private Placement Warrants that the Sponsor paid $7,650,321 for will expire worthless. All of VPCC’s officers and directors have a direct or indirect economic interest in such shares. The 6,344,150 shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock that the Initial Stockholders and their permitted transferees will hold following the Business Combination (assuming the no redemption scenario), if unrestricted and freely tradable, would have had aggregate market value of approximately $62,997,409.50 based upon the closing price of $9.93 per share of VPCC Class A Common Stock on the NYSE on October 5, 2021, the most recent practicable date prior to the date of this proxy statement/prospectus. Given such shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock will be subject to certain restrictions, we believe such shares have less value. The 5,100,214 Private Placement Warrants that the Sponsor will hold following the Business Combination, if unrestricted and freely tradable, would have had an aggregate market value of approximately $8,925,374.50 based upon the closing price of $1.75 per warrant on the NYSE on October 5, 2021, the most recent practicable date prior to the date of this proxy statement/prospectus.

The amounts drawn under the Existing Financing Agreement generally accrue an interest rate equal to the sum of (i) 2.55% per annum (or the London Interbank Offered Rate last quoted by the Wall Street Journal for desposits of U.S. Dollars for a period of three months on the last business day of each calendar month, whichever is higher) plus (ii) 6.95% per annum on the portion of the outstanding balance of amounts drawn that is less than or equal to $50 million, plus (iii) 5.95% per annum on the portion of the outstanding balance of amounts drawn that is greater than $50 million and less than or equal to $75 million, plus (iv) 5.45% per annum on the portion of the outstanding balance of amounts drawn that is greater than $75 million. The Existing Financing Agreement also includes, among other terms, representations and warranties on behalf Dave and its subsidiaries, rights of such affiliates of Victory Park in the event of certain specified events of defaults, provisions regarding repayment of outstanding amounts drawn, and prohibitions on certain actions by Dave and its subsidiaries. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, $30 million has been drawn by Dave under the Existing Financing Agreement. The parties anticipate that the Existing Financing Agreement will remain in place following the Closing of the Business Combination, and as such affiliates of Victory Park will be creditors of Dave following the consummation of the Business Combination.

•

Affiliates of Victory Park hold Dave Warrants that represent the right to purchase approximately 1.0% of the fully diluted equity of Dave, in the aggregate if all such Dave Warrants vest. Such Dave Warrants vest in increments equal to approximately 0.2% of the fully diluted equity of Dave for each $10 million funded by such affiliates of Victory Park to Dave under the Existing Financing Agreement, with all such Dave Warrants vesting at such time as $50 million has been funded by such affiliates of Victory Park under the Existing Financing Agreement. Once vested, the Dave Warrants may be exercised at any time prior to the earlier of (x) the fifth anniversary of the occurrence of Dave’s next equity financing in which Dave issues and sells shares of capital stock or securities yielding total equity proceeds to Dave of not less than $40 million (a “qualified financing event”) and (y) the occurrence of a liquidity event of Dave, which is broadly defined and includes a transaction or series of related transactions whereby a special acquisition company merges with or acquires equity interests of Dave (or any surviving or resulting company) and which transaction results in Dave (or any surviving or resulting company into which Dave is merged, consolidated, reorganized or combined), or any parent company that directly or indirectly beneficially owns Dave, being listed on a U.S. national securities exchange or market (a “liquidity event”). Such Dave Warrants are exercisable for a per share exercise price equal to (x) in the event such Dave Warrants are exercised in connection with or following a qualified financing event, the lowest price per share paid by a cash investor in connection with such qualified financing event or (y) in the event such Dave Warrants are exercised in connection with a liquidity event, the greater of (i) 80% of the fair market value of each share of common stock of Dave and (ii) approximately $3.75 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock combinations, etc.). Immediately prior to the Closing, it is anticipated that Dave Warrants to purchase 0.2% of the fully diluted equity of Dave will be vested and exercised into shares of Dave Capital Stock, with the remaining Dave Warrants terminating in accordance with their terms and the terms of the Merger Agreement. Accordingly, affiliates of Victory Park will receive shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock in connection with the Business Combination through their ownership of Dave Warrants.

•

Our Sponsor and the Current Independent Directors have agreed not to redeem any of the Founder Shares or shares of VPCC Class A Common Stock held by them in connection with a stockholder vote to approve the Business Combination.

•

Our Sponsor paid an aggregate of $25,000 for its Founder Shares and such securities will have a significantly higher value at the time of the Business Combination, which, if unrestricted and freely tradable would be valued at approximately $62,997,409.50, based on the closing price of the VPCC Class A Common Stock on October 5, 2021 (assuming the no redemption scenario).

•

If the Trust Account is liquidated, including in the event we are unable to complete an initial business combination within the required time period, our Sponsor has agreed to indemnify us to ensure that the proceeds in the Trust Account are not reduced below $10.00 per Public Share, or such lesser amount per Public Share as is in the Trust Account on the liquidation date, by the claims of prospective target businesses with which we have entered into an acquisition agreement or claims of any third party for services rendered or products sold to us, but only if such a vendor or target business has not executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account.

•

the continuation of Brendan Carroll, one of our existing directors, as a director of the Combined Company following the Closing.

•

Our officers were not permitted to become a director or officer of any other blank check company until we entered into a definitive agreement regarding an initial business combination.

•

Our Sponsor and the Current Independent Directors will lose their entire investment in us if an initial business combination is not completed.

•

Our Sponsor will benefit from the completion of a business combination and may be incentivized to complete an acquisition of a less favorable target company or on terms less favorable to stockholders rather than liquidate.

•

Our existing officers and directors will be eligible for continued indemnification and continued coverage under a directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy after the Business Combination.

•

We will enter into the Investor Rights Agreement with our Sponsor and certain existing holder(s) of our capital stock (including the Founder Holders) and certain Dave Stockholders, which provides for registration rights to such parties.

•

In connection with the Closing, our Sponsor would be entitled to the repayment of any working capital loan and advances that have been made to VPCC and remain outstanding. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, our Sponsor has not made any advances to us for working capital expenses. If we do not complete an initial business combination within the required period, we may use a portion of our working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay the working capital loans, but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the working capital loans.

•

Upon the Closing, subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, our Sponsor, our officers and directors and their respective affiliates may be entitled to reimbursement for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses related to identifying, investigating and consummating an initial business combination, and repayment of any other loans, if any, and on such terms as to be determined by VPCC from time to time, made by our Sponsor or certain of our officers and directors to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial business combination. Such reimbursable out-of-pocket expenses, if any, are not expected to be material.

VPCC’s directors were aware of and considered these interests, among other matters, in evaluating the Business Combination, and in recommending to stockholders that they approve the Business Combination. Stockholders should take these interests into account in deciding whether to approve the Business Combination. For more information, see the section titled “The Business Combination and the Merger Agreement—Interests of Certain VPCC Persons in the Business Combination.”

Q:	What happens if I vote against the Business Combination Proposal?

Under VPCC’s Existing Charter, if the Business Combination Proposal is not approved and we do not otherwise consummate an alternative business combination by March 9, 2023, we will be required to dissolve and liquidate the Trust Account by returning the then-remaining funds in such account to our Public Stockholders.

Q:	Do I have redemption rights?

If you are a holder of Public Shares, you may elect to have your Public Shares redeemed for cash at the applicable redemption price per share equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (a) the aggregate amount on deposit in the Trust Account as of two (2) business days prior to the Closing, including interest not previously released to VPCC to pay its taxes, by (b) the total number of then outstanding Public Shares; provided that VPCC will not redeem any Public Shares to the extent that such redemption would result in VPCC’s net tangible assets (as determined in accordance with Rule 3a51-1(g)(1) of the Exchange Act) being less than $5,000,001. The redemption rights include the requirement that a holder must identify itself in writing as a beneficial holder and provide its legal name, phone number and address to the transfer agent in order to validly redeem its shares. A Public Stockholder, together with any of his, her or its affiliates or any other person with whom it is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from redeeming in the aggregate his, her or its shares or, if part of such a group, the group’s shares, in excess of 15% of the Public Shares (the “15% threshold”). Unlike some other blank check companies, other than the net tangible asset requirement and the 15% threshold described above, VPCC has no specified maximum redemption threshold and there is no other limit on the amount of Public Shares that you can redeem. Holders of VPCC’s outstanding Public Warrants do not have redemption rights in connection with the Business Combination. VPCC’s Sponsor, directors and officers have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to any shares of VPCC’s capital stock they may hold in connection with the Closing, and the Founder Shares will be excluded from the pro rata calculation used to determine the per share redemption price. For illustrative purposes, based on the fair value of marketable securities held in the Trust Account as of September 30, 2021 of approximately $253,782,145.56, the estimated per share redemption price would have been approximately $10.00. Additionally, shares properly

tendered for redemption will only be redeemed if the Business Combination is consummated; otherwise holders of such shares will only be entitled to a pro rata portion of the Trust Account (including interest but net of taxes payable) in connection with the liquidation of the Trust Account or if we subsequently complete a different business combination on or prior to March 9, 2023.

Q:	Will how I vote affect my ability to exercise redemption rights?

No. You may exercise your redemption rights whether you vote your shares of VPCC Class A Common Stock for or against or abstain from voting on the Business Combination Proposal or any other proposal described in this proxy statement/prospectus. As a result, the Business Combination can be approved by stockholders who will redeem their shares and no longer remain stockholders.

Q:	How do I exercise my redemption rights?

In order to exercise your redemption rights, you must (i) if you hold your shares of VPCC Class A Common Stock through units, elect to separate your units into the underlying Public Shares and Public Warrants prior to exercising your redemption rights with respect to the Public Shares, (ii) check the box on the enclosed proxy card marked “Stockholder Certification,” (iii) identify yourself in writing as a beneficial holder and provide your legal name, phone number and address to the transfer agent and (iv) prior to 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on [●], 2021 (two (2) business days before the Special Meeting), tender your shares physically or electronically and submit a request in writing that we redeem your Public Shares for cash to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, our transfer agent, at the following address:

Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company

1 State Street Plaza, 30^th Floor

New York, New York 10004

Attention: Mark Zimkind

Email: mzimkind@continentalstock.com

Please check the box on the enclosed proxy card marked “Stockholder Certification” if you are not acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) with any other stockholder with respect to shares of VPCC Class A Common Stock or VPCC Class B Common Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Public Stockholder, together with any of his, her or its affiliates or any other person with whom it is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from seeking redemption rights with respect to his, her or its shares or, if part of such a group, the group’s shares, in excess of the 15% threshold. Accordingly, all Public Shares in excess of the 15% threshold beneficially owned by a Public Stockholder or group will not be redeemed for cash. Stockholders seeking to exercise their redemption rights and opting to deliver physical certificates should allot sufficient time to obtain physical certificates from Continental and time to effect delivery. It is VPCC’s understanding that stockholders should generally allot at least two weeks to obtain physical certificates from Continental. However, VPCC does not have any control over this process and it may take longer than two weeks. Stockholders who hold their shares in street name will have to coordinate with their bank, broker or other nominee to have the shares certificated or delivered electronically.

Holders of outstanding units of VPCC must separate the underlying Public Shares and Public Warrants prior to exercising redemption rights with respect to the Public Shares. If you hold Units registered in your own name, you must deliver the certificate for such Units to Continental with written instructions to separate such Units into Public Shares and Public Warrants. This must be completed far enough in advance to permit the mailing of the Public Share certificates back to you so that you may then exercise your redemption rights upon the separation of the Public Shares from the Units.

If a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee holds your Units, you must instruct such nominee to separate your Units. Your nominee must send written instructions by facsimile to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company. Such written instructions must include the number of Units to be split and the nominee holding such Units. Your nominee must also initiate electronically, using The Depository Trust

Company’s (“DTC”) DWAC (deposit withdrawal at custodian) system, a withdrawal of the relevant Units and a deposit of an equal number of Public Shares and Public Warrants. This must be completed far enough in advance to permit your nominee to exercise your redemption rights upon the separation of the Public Shares from the Units. While this is typically done electronically on the same business day, you should allow at least one full business day to accomplish the separation. If you fail to cause your Public Shares to be separated in a timely manner, you will likely not be able to exercise your redemption rights.

Any demand for redemption, once made, may be withdrawn at any time until the deadline for exercising redemption requests and thereafter, with our consent, until the vote is taken with respect to the Business Combination. If you delivered your Public Shares for redemption to Continental and decide within the required timeframe not to exercise your redemption rights, you may request that Continental return the Public Shares (physically or electronically). You may make such request by contacting Continental at the phone number or address listed under the question “Who can help answer my questions?” below.

Q:	What are the U.S. federal income tax consequences of exercising my redemption rights?

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

TAX MATTERS ARE COMPLICATED, AND THE TAX CONSEQUENCES OF EXERCISING YOUR REDEMPTION RIGHTS WILL DEPEND ON THE FACTS OF YOUR OWN SITUATION. YOU SHOULD CONSULT YOUR OWN TAX ADVISOR AS TO THE SPECIFIC TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE EXERCISE OF REDEMPTION RIGHTS TO YOU IN YOUR PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES.

Q:	What are the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Mergers to holders of VPCC Class A Common Stock?

A:	The holders of VPCC Class A Common Stock will incur no U.S. federal income tax consequences as a result of the Mergers.

Q:	If I am a warrant holder, can I exercise redemption rights with respect to my warrants?

A:	No. The holders of our warrants have no redemption rights with respect to our warrants.

Q:	Do I have appraisal rights if I object to the proposed Business Combination?

A:	No. There are no appraisal rights available to holders of VPCC Class A Common Stock or VPCC Class B Common Stock in connection with the Business Combination.

Q:	What happens to the funds deposited in the Trust Account after the Closing?

If the Business Combination Proposal is approved, VPCC intends to use a portion of the funds held in the Trust Account (i) to pay to Public Stockholders who have properly elected to have their VPCC Class A Common Stock redeemed for cash in accordance with the provisions of VPCC’s governing documents; (ii) for income tax or other tax obligations of VPCC prior to Closing; (iii) to pay to the underwriters of the initial public offering of VPCC with respect to any deferred underwriting compensation, (iv) for any unpaid VPCC or Dave transaction costs; and (v) for repayment of loans and reimbursement of expenses to directors, officers and stockholders of VPCC. The remaining balance in the Trust Account, together with

proceeds received from the PIPE Investment and any proceeds received from the sale of additional shares pursuant to subscription agreements that VPCC may enter into prior to Closing that are not used to satisfy VPCC’s obligations in connection with the Business Combination, will be used by the Combined Company for working capital purposes. See the section titled “The Business Combination and the Merger Agreement” for additional information.

Q:	What happens if the Business Combination is not consummated or is terminated?

There are certain circumstances under which the Merger Agreement may be terminated. See the section titled “The Business Combination and the Merger Agreement—The Merger Agreement—Termination” for additional information regarding the parties’ specific termination rights. In accordance with the Existing Charter, if an initial business combination is not consummated by March 9, 2023, VPCC will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten (10) business days thereafter subject to lawfully available funds therefor, redeem 100% of the Public Shares in consideration of a per share price, payable in cash, equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest not previously released to VPCC to pay its taxes (less up to $100,000 of such net interest to pay dissolution expenses), by (B) the total number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish rights of the Public Stockholders as stockholders of VPCC (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 remaining stockholders and the VPCC Board, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to our obligations under the DGCL to provide for claims of creditors and other requirements of applicable law.

VPCC expects that the amount of any distribution its Public Stockholders will be entitled to receive upon its dissolution will be approximately the same as the amount they would have received if they had redeemed their shares in connection with the Business Combination, subject in each case to VPCC’s obligations under the DGCL to provide for claims of creditors and other requirements of applicable law. As set forth in the Founder Holder Agreement, the Initial Stockholders have waived any right to any liquidating distributions with respect to the Founder Shares to which they would otherwise be entitled pursuant to the terms of Section 4.3(b)(ii) of VPCC’s Existing Charter.

In the event of liquidation, there will be no distribution with respect to the outstanding VPCC Warrants. Accordingly, the VPCC Warrants will expire worthless.

Q:	When is the Business Combination expected to be consummated?

It is currently anticipated that the Business Combination will be consummated promptly following the Special Meeting; provided that all the requisite stockholder approvals are obtained and other conditions to the Closing have been satisfied or waived. For a description of the conditions for the Closing, see the section titled “The Business Combination and the Merger Agreement—The Merger Agreement—Conditions to the Completion of the Mergers.”

Q:	What do I need to do now?

You are urged to read carefully and consider the information contained in this proxy statement/prospectus, including “Risk Factors” and the annexes, and to consider how the Business Combination will affect you as a stockholder. You should then vote as soon as possible in accordance with the instructions provided in this proxy statement/prospectus and on the enclosed proxy card or, if you hold your shares through a brokerage firm, bank or other nominee, on the voting instruction form provided by the broker, bank or nominee.

Q:	How do I vote?

A:	If you were a holder of record of VPCC Class A Common Stock or VPCC Class B Common Stock on [●], 2021, the record date for the Special Meeting, you may vote with respect to the proposals in person at the

Special Meeting or by completing, signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy card in the postage-paid envelope provided. If you hold your shares in “street name,” which means your shares are held of record by a broker, bank or other nominee, you should follow the instructions provided by your broker, bank or nominee to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted. In this regard, you must provide the record holder of your shares with instructions on how to vote your shares or, if you wish to attend the Special Meeting and vote in person, obtain a proxy from your broker, bank or nominee.

Q:	What will happen if I abstain from voting or fail to vote at the Special Meeting?

At the Special Meeting, VPCC will count a properly executed proxy marked “ABSTAIN” with respect to a particular proposal as present for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present. For purposes of approval, assuming a valid quorum is otherwise established, failure to vote or an abstention will have no effect on the Business Combination Proposal, the Governance Proposals, the Share Issuance Proposal, the Director Election Proposal, the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan Proposal, the Employee Stock Purchase Plan Proposal, the Repurchase Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal, but will have the same effect as a vote AGAINST the Charter Amendment Proposal.

Q:	What will happen if I sign and submit my proxy card without indicating how I wish to vote?

A:	Signed and dated proxies received by VPCC without an indication of how the stockholder intends to vote on a proposal will be voted “FOR” each proposal presented to the stockholders.

Q:	If I am not going to attend the Special Meeting in person, should I submit my proxy card instead?

A:	Yes. Whether you plan to attend the Special Meeting or not, please read the enclosed proxy statement/prospectus carefully, and vote your shares by completing, signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy card in the postage-paid envelope provided.

Q:	If my shares are held in “street name,” will my broker, bank or nominee automatically vote my shares for me?

No. Under the rules of various national and regional securities exchanges, your broker, bank, or nominee cannot vote your shares with respect to non-discretionary matters unless you provide instructions on how to vote in accordance with the information and procedures provided to you by your broker, bank, or nominee. VPCC believes that each of the proposals presented to the stockholders will be considered non-discretionary and therefore your broker, bank, or nominee cannot vote your shares without your instruction. Your bank, broker, or other nominee can vote your shares only if you provide instructions on how to vote. You should instruct your broker to vote your shares in accordance with directions you provide.

Q:	May I change my vote after I have submitted my executed proxy card?

Yes. You may change your vote by sending a later-dated, signed proxy card to VPCC’s secretary at the address listed below so that it is received by VPCC’s secretary prior to the Special Meeting or attend the Special Meeting in person and vote. You also may revoke your proxy by sending a notice of revocation to VPCC’s secretary, which must be received prior to the Special Meeting.

Q:	What should I do if I receive more than one set of voting materials?

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

Q:	Who can help answer my questions?

A:	If you have questions about the proposals or if you need additional copies of the proxy statement/prospectus or the enclosed proxy card you should contact:

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time (and following the Recapitalization), (a) each share of Dave Class A Common Stock held by the Dave Stockholders will be cancelled and automatically converted into the right to receive a number of shares of newly issued Class A common stock of the Combined Company, par value $0.0001 (“Combined Company Class A Common Stock”), equal to an exchange ratio (the “Per Share Dave Stock Consideration”) determined by dividing the Aggregate Stock Consideration by the sum of (without

duplication): (i) the aggregate number of shares of Dave Stock outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and following the consummation of the Recapitalization (including all shares of Dave Restricted Stock, whether vested or unvested); (ii) the aggregate number of shares of Dave Stock that are issuable upon the exercise or settlement of all Dave Options and Dave Non-Plan Options (in each case, as defined below) that are unexpired, issued, outstanding and vested as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (assuming, for purposes of this calculation, that all such Dave Options and Dave Non-Plan Options are exercised on a net exercise basis based on the assumption, solely for purposes of this calculation, that the fair market value of each share underlying such Dave Options or Dave Non-Plan Options equals (x) the Per Share Dave Stock Consideration multiplied by (y) ten dollars ($10.00)); and (iii) the aggregate number of shares of Dave Stock that are issuable upon the exercise or settlement of all Dave Warrants that are unexpired, issued, outstanding and vested as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (assuming, for purposes of this calculation, that all such Dave Warrants are vested and exercised on a net exercise basis based on the assumption, solely for purposes of this calculation, that the fair market value of each share underlying such Dave Warrants equals the (x) Per Share Dave Stock Consideration multiplied by (y) ten dollars ($10.00)) (the “Dave Stock Adjusted Fully Diluted Shares”) and (b) each share of Dave Class V Common Stock held by the Dave Stockholders will be cancelled and automatically converted into the right to receive a number of shares of newly authorized and issued Class V common stock of the Combined Company, par value $0.0001 (“Combined Company Class V Common Stock” and together with the Combined Company Class A Common Stock, “Combined Company Common Stock”), equal to the Per Share Dave Stock Consideration.

Each option to purchase shares of capital stock of Dave (“Dave Option”) that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time (whether vested or unvested) (other than certain options to purchase shares of capital stock of Dave granted outside of the terms and conditions of Dave’s stock plans (“Dave Non-Plan Options”)) will be automatically assumed by VPCC and converted into an option to acquire an adjusted number of shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock (pursuant to a ratio based on the Per Share Dave Stock Consideration) (each such resulting option, a “Rollover Option”) at an adjusted exercise price per share and will continue to be governed by substantially the same terms and conditions (including vesting and exercisability terms) as were applicable to the corresponding former Dave Option, except to the extent such terms or conditions are rendered inoperative by the Transactions or such other immaterial administrative or ministerial changes as the parties to the Merger Agreement may determine are appropriate to effectuate the administration of the Rollover Options. The shares of Dave Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of Dave Options that are outstanding, unexercised and unvested immediately prior to the Effective Time (such options, the “Unvested Dave Options”) are not included in the calculation of the “Dave Stock Adjusted Fully Diluted Shares” for purposes of the calculation of the Per Share Dave Stock Consideration, and the shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of Rollover Options representing at the Effective Time Unvested Dave Options (such shares, “Unvested Rollover Option Shares”) are not considered a part of the Aggregate Stock Consideration. The Unvested Rollover Option Shares will reduce the shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock initially available for issuance under the new equity incentive plan that VPCC will adopt as of the Closing.

Each Dave Non-Plan Option that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time will be automatically cancelled for no consideration.

In addition, pursuant to Subscription Agreements that VPCC entered into with certain investors substantially concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, immediately prior to the consummation of the Mergers, such investors will purchase an aggregate of 21,000,000 shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock for $10.00 per share. On August 17, 2021, one of the PIPE Investors entered into an amendment to the Subscription Agreement to allow the PIPE Investor to pre-fund its $15,000,000 obligation under the Subscription Agreement in exchange for a promissory note in the principal amount of $15,000,000 convertible into 1,500,000 shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock at Closing.

It is anticipated that following the Closing: (a) the Public Stockholders are expected to own approximately 6.5% of the outstanding Combined Company Common Stock and hold approximately 2.5% of the voting power; (b) Dave Stockholders are expected to own approximately 86.5% of the outstanding Combined Company Common Stock and hold approximately 94.9% of the voting power , of which Mr. Wilk is expected to own approximately 18.2% of the outstanding shares of Combined Company Common Stock and hold approximately 69.0% of the voting power; (c) the Initial Stockholders are expected to collectively own approximately 1.6% of the outstanding Combined Company Common Stock and hold approximately 0.6% of the voting power and (d) the PIPE Investors are expected to own approximately 5.4% of the outstanding Combined Company Common Stock and hold approximately 1.6% of the voting power. These percentages assume (i) that no Public Stockholders exercise their Redemption Rights in connection with the proposed Business Combination (as defined below) and (ii) the issuance of 21,000,000 shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock to the PIPE Investors pursuant to the PIPE Investment. If there are redemptions by the Public Stockholders up to the maximum level that would permit completion of the Business Combination, (a) the Public Stockholders will own none of the outstanding Combined Company Common Stock and hold none of the voting power; (b) Dave Stockholders will own approximately 92.9% of the outstanding Combined Company Common Stock and hold approximately 97.5% of the voting power, of which Mr. Wilk is expected to own approximately 20.5% of the outstanding shares of Combined Company Common Stock and hold approximately 72.1% of the voting power; (c) the Initial Stockholders will own approximately 1.5% of the outstanding Combined Company Common Stock and hold approximately 0.5% of the voting power; and (d) the PIPE Investors will own approximately 5.7% of the outstanding Combined Company Common Stock and hold approximately 2.0% of the voting power. These percentages assume (i) that 25,376,598 Public Stockholders exercise their Redemption Rights in connection with the proposed Business Combination (assuming VPCC will have a minimum $5,000,001 of net tangible assets after all redemptions) and (ii) the issuance of 21,000,000 shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock to the PIPE Investors pursuant to the PIPE Investment.

For more information on the Investor Rights Agreement, please see the section titled “The Business Combination and the Merger Agreement—Certain Agreements Related to the Business Combination—Investor Rights Agreement.”

Repurchase Agreement

Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, VPCC, Dave, Mr. Wilk and Kyle Beilman (Mr. Wilk and Mr. Beilman, the “Selling Holders”), the Chief Financial Officer of Dave, entered into the Repurchase Agreement, pursuant to which, among other things, VPCC has agreed to repurchase a certain number of shares of Combined Company Common Stock from the Selling Holders (including shares of Combined Company Class V Common Stock issued to Mr. Wilk in connection with the Transactions), at a purchase price of $10.00 per share, on the business day immediately following the Second Effective Time (the “Repurchase”). The Repurchase is contingent on the amount of cash in the Trust Account at the Closing, following payments of all amounts required to satisfy VPCC Share Redemptions, plus the PIPE Investment Amount (and the amount of any alternative financing arranged by VPCC and Dave, including in the event any portion of the PIPE Investment Amount becomes unavailable), plus the amount of cash available to VPCC outside of the Trust Account, in each case, as calculated prior to, and without taking account of, payment or reimbursement of any Dave Transaction Costs or VPCC Transaction Costs or any amounts used to repay indebtedness of Dave or VPCC (such amount, “VPCC Available Cash” ), being in excess of $300 million. If VPCC Available Cash exceeds $300 million, the number of shares of Combined Company Common Stock subject to the Repurchase will be equal to the amount by which VPCC Available Cash exceeds $300 million, divided by $10.00 (provided that in no event will the Aggregate Repurchase Price exceed $60 million). 80% of the number of shares of Combined Company Common Stock subject to the Repurchase will be allocated to Mr. Wilk, with Mr. Beilman allocated the remaining 20%.

Proposed Charter and Combined Company Amended and Restated Bylaws

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, VPCC is required to facilitate the solicitation of proxies from the VPCC Stockholders to approve, at the Special Meeting, the Proposed Charter which will amend and restate the Existing Charter, to, among other things, (a) establish a dual-class Combined Company Common Stock structure consisting of Combined Company Class A Common Stock and Combined Company Class V Common Stock, and (b) provide that each share of Combined Company Class A Common Stock will be entitled to one (1) vote per share and each share of Combined Company Class V Common Stock will be entitled to ten (10) votes per share. Pursuant to the Proposed Charter, the shares of Combined Company Class V Common Stock will be automatically exchanged for an equal number of shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock upon the earliest to occur of (i) the receipt by the Combined Company of a written request for such conversion from the holders of not less than a majority of the Combined Company Class V Common Stock then outstanding, or (ii) a transfer of such shares of Combined Company Class V Common Stock to an unaffiliated third party. In addition to the foregoing, the shares of Combined Company Class V Common Stock held directly or indirectly by, or by a trust for the benefit of, Mr. Wilk, will be automatically exchanged for an equal number of shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock upon the earlier to occur of (x) the termination of Mr. Wilk’s employment with the Combined Company, Dave or any of their subsidiaries for “Cause” (as defined in the Proposed Charter),

or the resignation by Mr. Wilk other than for certain reasons constituting “Good Reason” (as defined in the Proposed Charter), (y) upon Mr. Wilk’s death or incapacity or (z) the date that the number of shares of capital stock of the Combined Company, including any shares of capital stock of the Combined Company underlying any securities (including restricted stock units, options, or other convertible instruments) convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable into shares of capital stock of the Combined Company, held by Mr. Wilk and certain permitted transferees is less than 35% of the number of shares of Combined Company Class V Common Stock held by Mr. Wilk and such permitted transferees at the Effective Time.

In addition to the Proposed Charter, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, immediately prior to the Closing, VPCC will adopt the Combined Company Amended and Restated Bylaws which will amend and restate the Existing Bylaws to, among other things, include a restriction on the sale, transfer, pledge or other disposition by the Dave Stockholders of shares of Combined Company Common Stock received by such Dave Stockholders in connection with the Transactions for six (6) months following the Closing, other than in connection with certain permitted transfers specified therein. The terms and provisions of such restrictions in the Combined Company Amended and Restated Bylaws will be materially identical to the terms and provision of the Dave Stockholders Lock-Up in the Investor Rights Agreement.

For more information on the Proposed Charter and Combined Company Amended and Restated Bylaws, please see the section titled “The Business Combination and the Merger Agreement—Certain Agreements Related to the Business Combination—Proposed Charter and Combined Company Amended and Restated Bylaws.”

Equity Incentive Plans

We refer to Proposals No. 3A through 3H collectively as the “Governance Proposals.” Please see the section titled “Proposals No. 3A through 3H—The Governance Proposals” for more information.

Other Proposals

In addition, the VPCC Stockholders will be asked to consider and vote upon the following proposals:

Proposal No. 4—The Director Election Proposal—a proposal to elect, assuming the Business Combination Proposal, the Charter Amendment Proposal and the Share Issuance Proposal are all approved and adopted, [●] directors to the Combined Company’s board of directors (the “Director Election Proposal”).

Please see the sections titled “Proposal No. 4—The Director Election Proposal,” “Proposal No. 5—Approval of the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan,” “Proposal No. 6—Approval of the 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan,” “Proposal No. 7—The Share Issuance Proposal,” “Proposal No. 8—The Repurchase Proposal,” and “Proposal No. 9—The Adjournment Proposal” for more information.

Quorum and Required Vote for Proposals for the Special Meeting

A quorum of outstanding shares of VPCC Common Stock is necessary to hold a valid meeting. A quorum will be present at the Special Meeting if a majority of the VPCC Class A Common Stock and VPCC Class B Common Stock outstanding and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting is represented in person or by proxy. Abstentions will count as present for the purposes of establishing a quorum.

The Business Combination Proposal, the Governance Proposals (on an advisory basis), the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan Proposal, the Employee Stock Purchase Plan Proposal, the Share Issuance Proposal, the Repurchase Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal require the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of VPCC Class A Common Stock and VPCC Class B Common Stock represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon and actually cast at the Special Meeting, voting as a single class. Approval of the Charter Amendment Proposal, requires the affirmative vote (in person or by proxy) of the holders of a majority of outstanding shares of VPCC Class A Common Stock and VPCC Class B Common Stock entitled to vote thereon at the Special Meeting, voting as a single class. Directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast by holders of the outstanding shares of VPCC Class A Common Stock and VPCC Class B Common Stock, voting as a single class. This means that the [●] director nominees who receive the most affirmative votes will be elected. Stockholders may not cumulate their votes with respect to the election of directors. Accordingly, if a valid quorum is otherwise established, a stockholder’s failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person at the Special Meeting will have no effect on the outcome of any vote on the Business Combination Proposal, the Governance Proposals, the Director Election Proposal, the Share Issuance Proposal, the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan Proposal, the Employee Stock Purchase Plan Proposal, the Repurchase Proposal or the Adjournment Proposal, but will have the same effect as a vote AGAINST the Charter Amendment Proposal.

The Closing is conditioned on the approval of the Business Combination Proposal, the Charter Amendment Proposal, the Director Election Proposal, the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan Proposal, the Employee Stock Purchase Plan Proposal, the Share Issuance Proposal and the Repurchase Proposal at the Special Meeting. Each of the Business Combination Proposal, the Charter Amendment Proposal, the Director Election Proposal, the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan Proposal, the Employee Stock Purchase Plan Proposal, the Share Issuance Proposal and the Repurchase Proposal are cross-conditioned on the approval of each other. The Governance Proposals and the Adjournment Proposal are not conditioned on the approval of any of the other Proposals.

Recommendation of the VPCC Board of Directors

After careful consideration, the VPCC Board has unanimously determined (i) that the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby are advisable and in the best interests of VPCC and its stockholders and (ii) to recommend that the VPCC Stockholders adopt the Merger Agreement and approve the Business Combination and the Transactions. Accordingly, the VPCC Board recommends that the VPCC Stockholders vote “FOR” adoption of the Merger Agreement and approval of the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Business Combination, and “FOR” all other proposals presented to the VPCC Stockholders in this proxy statement/prospectus.

For a more complete description of the VPCC Board’s reasons for the approval of the Business Combination and the recommendation of the VPCC Board, see the section titled “The Business Combination and the Merger Agreement—VPCC’s Board of Directors’ Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination.”

Interests of Certain Persons in the Business Combination

In considering the recommendation of the VPCC Board to vote in favor of the Business Combination, stockholders should be aware that, aside from their interests as stockholders, our Sponsor and certain of VPCC’s directors and officers have interests in the Business Combination that are different from, or in addition to, those of other stockholders generally. VPCC’s directors were aware of and considered these interests, among other matters, in evaluating the Business Combination, and in recommending to stockholders that they approve the Business Combination. Stockholders should take these interests into account in deciding whether to approve the Business Combination. See the sections titled “The Business Combination and the Merger Agreement — Interests of Certain VPCC Persons in the Business Combination” and “VPCC Special Meeting of Stockholders — Recommendation to VPCC Stockholders” for more information.

VPCC’s Board of Directors’ Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination

In considering the Business Combination, the VPCC Board considered the following factors, although not weighted or in any order of significance:

•

Public research on the industry of fintech companies that offer apps, software and other technologies to streamline mobile and online banking, sometimes referred to as the “neobank industry” and related industries, its prospects, a review of Dave’s historical financial performance and forecasts including revenues, sale projections, capital expenditures, cash flow and other relevant financial and operating metrics;

•

Review of Dave’s material business contracts, corporate books and records, government regulations and filings, intellectual property and information technology and certain other legal due diligence;

•

Financial and accounting due diligence; and

•

The prospective financial information of Dave set forth in the materials provided by Dave.

After careful consideration, the VPCC Board recommends that its stockholders vote “FOR” each proposal being submitted to a vote at the Special Meeting. For more information about the VPCC Board’s decision-making process, please see the section titled “The Business Combination and the Merger Agreement—VPCC’s Board of Directors’ Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination.”

Redemption Rights

Under VPCC’s Existing Charter, any holder of VPCC Class A Common Stock may elect that such shares be redeemed in exchange for a pro rata share of the aggregate amount on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest but net of taxes payable, calculated as of two (2) business days prior to the Closing. If demand is properly made, including the holder identifying itself in writing as a beneficial holder and providing its legal name, phone number and address to the transfer agent and the Business Combination is consummated, these shares, immediately prior to the Business Combination, will cease to be outstanding and will represent only the right to receive a pro rata share of the aggregate amount on deposit in the Trust Account, which holds the proceeds of our IPO (calculated as of two (2) business days prior to the Closing, including interest but net of taxes payable). You will no longer own those shares and will have no right to participate in, or have any interest in, the future growth of VPCC following the Business Combination, if any. For illustrative purposes, based on the fair value of marketable securities held in the Trust Account as of September 30, 2021 of approximately $253,782,145.56, the estimated per share redemption price would have been approximately $10.00.

In order to exercise redemption rights, holders of VPCC Class A Common Stock must follow specific procedures, some of which are time sensitive. See “VPCC Special Meeting of Stockholders—Redemption Rights.”

Prior to exercising redemption rights, stockholders should verify the market price of VPCC Class A Common Stock as they may receive higher proceeds from the sale of their VPCC Class A Common Stock in the public market than from exercising their redemption rights if the market price per share is higher than the redemption price. VPCC cannot assure you that you will be able to sell your shares of VPCC Class A Common Stock in the open market, even if the market price per share is higher than the redemption price stated above, as there may not be sufficient liquidity in the VPCC Class A Common Stock when you wish to sell your shares.

Ownership after the Closing; Impact of the Business Combination on the Combined Company’s Public Float

It is anticipated that, upon completion of the Transactions, depending on the number of VPCC Share Redemptions and subject to the assumptions set forth below, the concentration of ownership of the issued and outstanding stock of the Combined Company will be as follows:


Beneficial Owners	Ownership Percentage
	No Redemption Scenario			Maximum Redemption Scenario
VPCC’s existing Public Stockholders (collectively, but excluding any shares issued to such persons in connection with the PIPE Investment)		6.5	%		0.0	%
Initial Stockholders		1.6	%		1.5	%
Dave Interest Holders		86.5	%		92.9	%
PIPE Investors (collectively, but excluding any Public Shares held by such persons)		5.4	%		5.7	%

Beneficial Owners	Voting Percentage
	No Redemption Scenario			Maximum Redemption Scenario
VPCC’s existing Public Stockholders (collectively, but excluding any shares issued to such persons in connection with the PIPE Investment)		2.5	%		0.0	%
Initial Stockholders		0.6	%		0.5	%

Regulatory Approvals Required for the Mergers

The completion of the Mergers is subject to the requirements under the Hart Scott Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 (the “HSR Act”). Each of VPCC and Dave will use their reasonable best efforts to obtain all necessary actions, waivers, consents, approvals, orders and authorizations from governmental entities and make all necessary registrations, declarations and filings (including registrations, declarations and filings with governmental entities, if any), including by requesting early termination of the HSR waiting period. On June 21, 2021, VPCC and Dave filed the required forms under the HSR Act with the Antitrust Division and the FTC and requested early termination of the HSR Act 30-day waiting period. The waiting period expired on July 21, 2021.

Appraisal Rights of VPCC Stockholders

Appraisal rights are not available to holders of shares of VPCC Class A Common Stock or VPCC Class B Common Stock in connection with the Business Combination.

Appraisal Rights of Dave Stockholders

Pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL, Dave Stockholders who comply with the applicable requirements of Section 262 of the DGCL, and do not otherwise withdraw or lose the right to appraisal under Delaware have the right to seek appraisal of the fair value of their shares of Dave stock if the Mergers are completed. The “fair value” of your shares of Dave Capital Stock may be more or less than, or the same as, the value of the consideration that you are otherwise entitled to receive under the Merger Agreement. Dave Stockholders who do not consent to the adoption of the Merger Agreement and who wish to preserve their appraisal rights must so advise Dave by submitting a demand for appraisal within the period prescribed by Section 262 of the DGCL after receiving a notice from Dave or the Combined Company that appraisal rights are available to them, and must otherwise precisely follow the procedures prescribed by Section 262 of the DGCL. Failure to follow any of the statutory procedures set forth in Section 262 of the DGCL will result in the loss or waiver of appraisal rights under Delaware law. In view of the complexity of Section 262 of the DGCL, Dave Stockholders who may wish to pursue appraisal rights should consult their legal and financial advisors. For additional information on appraisal rights available to Dave stockholders, see the section titled “Additional Information—Appraisal Rights” beginning on page 257 of this proxy statement/prospectus.

Proxy Solicitation

Proxies may be solicited by mail. VPCC has engaged Morrow to assist in the solicitation of proxies for the Special Meeting.

If a stockholder grants a proxy, it may still vote its shares in person if it revokes its proxy before the Special Meeting. A stockholder may also change its vote by submitting a later-dated proxy, as described in the section titled “VPCC Special Meeting of Stockholders—Revoking Your Proxy.”

by either VPCC or Dave if the Closing shall not have been consummated by January 31, 2022; provided that the right to terminate the Merger Agreement is not available to any party whose action or failure to act was a principal cause of the failure of the Closing to occur on or before such date;

•

by either VPCC or Dave if a governmental entity having competent jurisdiction shall have issued an order having the effect of permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the Transactions, including the Mergers, which order or other action is final and nonappealable; provided that the right to terminate the Merger Agreement is not available to any party whose action or failure to act was a principal cause of such order and such action or failure to act constitutes a breach of the Merger Agreement;

•

by Dave, if there has been a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement set forth in the Merger Agreement on the part of VPCC, First Merger Sub or Second Merger Sub, or inaccuracy in any representation or warranty of VPCC, First Merger Sub or Second Merger Sub, in either case which breach or inaccuracy would cause any of the conditions to Closing set forth in the Merger Agreement not to be satisfied as of the time of such breach or as of the time such representation or warranty shall have become untrue; provided, that if such breach or inaccuracy is curable by VPCC, First Merger Sub or Second Merger Sub prior to the Closing, then Dave must first provide written notice of such breach or inaccuracy to VPCC and may not terminate the Merger Agreement until the earlier of: (i) thirty (30) days after delivery of written notice from Dave to VPCC of such breach or inaccuracy; and (ii) January 31, 2022; provided, further, that each of VPCC, First Merger Sub and Second Merger Sub continues to exercise commercially reasonable efforts to cure such breach or inaccuracy or cause such condition to be satisfied (it being understood that Dave may not terminate the Merger Agreement if: (A) Dave shall have materially breached the Merger Agreement and such breach has not been cured; or (B) such breach by VPCC, First Merger Sub or Second Merger Sub, as applicable, is cured during such 30-day period or such condition is otherwise satisfied);

•

by VPCC, if there has been a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement set forth in the Merger Agreement on the part of Dave or inaccuracy in any representation or warranty of Dave, in either case which breach or inaccuracy would cause any of the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement not to be satisfied as of the time of such breach or as of the time such representation or warranty shall have become untrue; provided, that if such breach or inaccuracy is curable by Dave prior to the Closing, then VPCC must first provide written notice of such breach or inaccuracy to Dave and may not terminate the Merger Agreement until the earlier of: (i) thirty (30) days after delivery of written notice from VPCC to Dave of such breach or inaccuracy; and (ii) January 31, 2022; provided, further, that Dave continues to exercise commercially reasonable efforts to cure such breach or inaccuracy or cause such condition to be satisfied (it being understood that VPCC may not terminate the Merger Agreement if: (A) VPCC shall have materially breached the Merger Agreement and such breach has not been cured; or (B) such breach by Dave is cured during such 30-day period or such condition is otherwise satisfied);

by Dave, if (i) the VPCC Minimum Cash Condition becomes incapable of being satisfied at the Closing and (ii) a period of 30 business days has elapsed since such circumstances exist and, at the end of such period, such circumstances continue to exist (after giving effect to any alternative financing); provided, however, that the right to terminate the Merger Agreement is not available to Dave if Dave’s action or failure to act has been a principal cause of the failure of such VPCC Minimum Cash Condition to be satisfied and such action or failure to act constitutes a breach of the Merger Agreement.

Summary of the Transactions

Set forth below is a summary of the transactions that are contemplated to occur in connection with the Business Combination.

Treatment of Dave Equity Interests and Convertible Securities in the Mergers

Capital Stock

In connection with the Mergers, (a) each share of Dave Class A Common Stock held by the Dave Stockholders will be cancelled and automatically converted into the right to receive a number of shares of newly issued Combined Company Class A Common Stock equal to the Per Share Dave Stock Consideration and (b) each share of Dave Class V Common Stock held by the Company Stockholders will be cancelled and automatically converted into the right to receive a number of shares of newly authorized and issued Combined Company Class V Common Stock equal to the Per Share Dave Stock Consideration.

In connection with the Transactions, the shares of Combined Company Common Stock received as consideration by Mr. Wilk will be shares of Combined Company Class V Common Stock, and will entitle Mr. Wilk to ten (10) votes per share until such time as such shares of Combined Company Class V Common Stock are exchanged pursuant to the terms of the Proposed Charter for an equal number of shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock (as more fully described below under “—Certain Agreements Related to the Business Combination—Proposed Charter and Combined Company Amended and Restated Bylaws”). Mr. Wilk’s shares of Combined Company Class V Common Stock will provide him with approximately 70.3% of the voting power of the Combined Company Common Stock outstanding immediately following the Effective Time (and prior to any repurchases of shares of Combined Company Class V Common Stock by the Combined Company pursuant to the Repurchase (as further discussed below under “—Certain Agreements Related to the Business Combination—Repurchase Agreement”)), assuming no redemptions by VPCC Stockholders.

Warrants

Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, each Dave Warrant that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time will be automatically terminated in accordance with the terms of the applicable Dave Warrant and be of no further force or effect as of the Effective Time.

Vested and Unvested Options

converted into an option to acquire an adjusted number of shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock at an adjusted exercise price per share, determined in the manner described below. Each Rollover Option will continue to be governed by substantially the same terms and conditions (including vesting and exercisability terms) as were applicable to the corresponding former Dave Option, except to the extent such terms or conditions are rendered inoperative by the Transactions or such other immaterial administrative or ministerial changes as the parties to the Merger Agreement may determine are appropriate to effectuate the administration of the Rollover Options. The shares of Dave Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of Dave Options that are outstanding, unexercised and unvested immediately prior to the Effective Time are not included in the calculation of the “Dave Stock Adjusted Fully Diluted Shares” for purposes of the calculation of the Per Share Dave Stock Consideration, and the shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of Rollover Options representing at the Effective Time Unvested Dave Options are not considered a part of the Aggregate Stock Consideration. The Unvested Rollover Option Shares will reduce the shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock initially available for issuance under the 2021 Plan (as further discussed below under “—Certain Agreements Related to the Business Combination—Equity Incentive Plans”). See “The Business Combination and the Merger Agreement — The Merger Agreement — Treatment of Dave Equity Interests — Vested and Unvested Options” for more information.

Non-Plan Option

Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, each Dave Non-Plan Option that was granted prior to Closing and is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time will be automatically cancelled for no consideration.

Restricted Stock

Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, each award of Dave Restricted Stock that is outstanding and unvested immediately prior to the Effective Time will be automatically assumed by VPCC and converted into an award of restricted stock with respect to an adjusted number of shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock determined by multiplying the number of shares of Dave Restricted Stock subject to such award by the Per Share Dave Stock Consideration and rounding the resulting number down to the nearest whole number of shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock. Each share of Rollover Restricted Stock will continue to be governed by substantially the same terms and conditions (including vesting terms) as were applicable to the corresponding former Dave Restricted Stock, except to the extent such terms or conditions are rendered inoperative by the Transactions or such other immaterial administrative or ministerial changes as the parties to the Merger Agreement may determine are appropriate to effectuate the administration of the Rollover Restricted Stock.

Treatment of Founder Shares

Immediately prior to the Closing, the Sponsor and the Current Independent Directors will surrender to VPCC the Founder Holder Contingent Closing Shares (if any). In connection with the Closing, immediately following the conversion of the Founder Holder’s Founder Shares into shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock, the Sponsor and the Current Independent Directors shall subject the Founder Holder Earnout Shares to potential forfeiture in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement and the Founder Holder Agreement.

PIPE Investment

Immediately prior to the Closing, the PIPE Investors will subscribe for and purchase, and the Combined Company will issue to the PIPE Investors, an aggregate of 21,000,000 shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock in exchange for an aggregate amount of cash equal to $210,000,000. On August 17, 2021, one of the PIPE Investors entered into an amendment to the Subscription Agreement to allow the PIPE Investor to pre-

fund its $15,000,000 obligation under the Subscription Agreement in exchange for a promissory note in the principal amount of $15,000,000 convertible into 1,500,000 shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock at Closing.

Risk Factors

In evaluating the Business Combination and the proposals to be considered and voted on at the Special Meeting, you should carefully review and consider the risk factors set forth under the section titled “Risk Factors” beginning on page 42 of this proxy statement/prospectus.

The occurrence of one or more of the events or circumstances described in the section titled “Risk Factors,” alone or in combination with other events or circumstances, may have a material adverse effect on (i) the ability of VPCC and Dave to complete the Business Combination, and (ii) the business, cash flows, financial condition and results of operations of the Combined Company following the Closing.

Some of the risks related to Dave’s business and industry are summarized below. References in the summary below to “we”, “us”, “our” and “the Company” generally refer to Dave in the present tense or the Combined Company from and after the Business Combination.

Risks Related to Dave’s Business and Industry

•

The industries in which we compete are highly competitive, which could adversely affect our results of operations.

•

If we are unable to keep pace with the rapid technological developments in our industry and the larger financial services industry necessary to continue providing our Members with new and innovative products and services, the use of our platform and other products and services could decline. In addition, if the prices we charge for our products and services are unacceptable to our Members, our operating results will be harmed.

•

Our non-recourse cash advances expose us to credit risk of our Members and if our underwriting criteria for making advances is not sufficient to mitigate against this risk, our financial condition and operating results could be adversely affected if a substantial number of our Members fail to repay the cash advance they receive.

•

We may not be able to scale our business quickly enough to meet our Members’ growing needs, and if we are not able to grow efficiently, our operating results could be harmed.

•

If we are unable to acquire new Members and retain our current members or sell additional functionality and services to them, our revenue growth will be adversely affected.

•

We have historically incurred losses in the operation of our business. We may never achieve or sustain profitability.

•

We operate in an uncertain regulatory environment and may from time to time be subject to governmental investigations or other inquiries by state, federal and local governmental authorities.

•

The financial services industry continues to be targeted by new laws or regulations in many jurisdictions, including the U.S. states in which we operate, that could restrict the products and services we offer, impose additional compliance costs on us, render our current operations unprofitable or even prohibit our current operations.

•

Our business is subject to extensive regulation and oversight in a variety of areas, including registration and licensing requirements under federal, state and local laws and regulations.

•

Stringent and changing laws and regulations relating to privacy and data protection could result in claims, harm our results of operations, financial condition, and future prospects, or otherwise harm our business.

•

Dave identified material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting, which for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 resulted in a restatement of its financial statements, and if Dave is unable to remediate these material weaknesses, or if it identifies additional material weaknesses in the future or otherwise fails to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting, it may not be able to accurately or timely report its financial condition or results of operations, which may adversely affect Dave’s business and share price.

•

Dave’s forecasted operating results and projections rely in large part upon assumptions, analyses and internal estimates developed by Dave’s management. If these assumptions, analyses or estimates prove to be incorrect or inaccurate, Dave’s actual operating results may differ materially and adversely from those forecasted or projected.

•

Fraudulent and other illegal activity involving our products and services could lead to reputational damage to us, reduce the use of our platform and services and may adversely affect our financial position and results of operations.

•

Dave’s management has limited experience in operating a public company.

•

We transfer funds to our Members daily, which in the aggregate comprise substantial sums, and are subject to the risk of errors, which could result in financial losses, damage to our reputation, or loss of trust in our brand, which would harm our business and financial results.

•

Dave, Inc. has guaranteed up to $25,000,000 of one of its subsidiary’s obligations under a credit facility, and currently that limited guaranty is secured by a first-priority lien against substantially all of Dave, Inc.’s assets. The credit facility contains financial covenants and other restrictions on our actions, which could limit our operational flexibility and otherwise adversely affect our financial condition.

•

If our present or any future key banking relationships are terminated and we are not able to secure or successfully migrate client portfolios to a new bank partner or partners, our business would be adversely affected.

•

We depend upon several third-party service providers for processing our transactions and provide other important services for our business. If any of our agreements with our processing providers are terminated or if we experience any interruption or delay in the services provided by our third-party service providers, delivery of our products and services could be impaired or suspended and our business could suffer.

•

Our recent rapid growth, including growth in our volume of payments, may not be indicative of future growth, and if we continue to grow rapidly, we may not be able to manage our growth effectively. Our rapid growth also makes it difficult to evaluate our future prospects and may increase the risk that we will not be successful.

Risks Related to the Proposed Business Combination

•

VPCC’s directors and officers have potential conflicts of interest in recommending that VPCC’s stockholders vote in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement and the Proposed Business

Combination, and approval of the other proposals to be described in the proxy statement relating to the Proposed Business Combination.

•

VPCC’s sponsor, directors and officers have agreed to vote in favor of the Proposed Business Combination, regardless of how VPCC’s public stockholders vote. As a result, approximately 20.0% of VPCC’s voting securities outstanding, representing the VPCC voting securities held by VPCC’s sponsor, directors and officers, will be contractually obligated to vote in favor of the Proposed Business Combination.

•

The VPCC board has not obtained and will not obtain a third-party valuation or financial opinion in determining whether to proceed with the Proposed Business Combination.

•

Both VPCC and Dave will incur significant transaction costs in connection with the Proposed Business Combination.

•

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

•

The ability to successfully effect the Proposed Business Combination and the Combined Company’s ability to successfully operate the business thereafter will be largely dependent upon the efforts of certain key personnel of Dave, all of whom we expect to stay with the Combined Company following the Proposed Business Combination. The loss of such key personnel could negatively impact the operations and financial results of the combined business.

•

Following the consummation of the Proposed Business Combination, the Combined Company will incur significant increased expenses and administrative burdens as a public company, which could negatively impact its business, financial condition and results of operations.

•

There is no guarantee that a stockholder’s decision whether to redeem its shares for a pro rata portion of the trust account will put the stockholder in a better future economic position.

•

If the Proposed Business Combination’s benefits do not meet the expectations of investors or securities analysts, the market price of our securities or, following the consummation of the Proposed Business Combination, the Combined Company’s Securities, may decline.

•

There can be no assurance that the Combined Company’s common stock will be approved for listing on Nasdaq or that the Combined Company will be able to comply with the continued listing standards of Nasdaq.

•

Even if VPCC consummates the business combination, there can be no assurance that VPCC’s public warrants will be in the money during their exercise period, and they may expire worthless.

•

If you hold public warrants of VPCC, VPCC may, in accordance with their terms, redeem your unexpired VPCC warrants prior to their exercise at a time that is disadvantageous to you.

•

The public and private warrants of VPCC are accounted for as liabilities and the changes in value of such warrants could have a material effect on the financial results of VPCC.

•

Legal proceedings may be instituted against the Proposed Business Combination, which could delay or prevent or otherwise adversely impact the Proposed Business Combination.

•

Changes in laws or regulations, or a failure to comply with any laws and regulations, may adversely affect our business, including our ability to consummate the Proposed Business Combination, and results of operations.

Controlled Company Exemption

Upon the completion of the Business Combination, Mr. Wilk will be the beneficial owner of all outstanding shares of Combined Company Class V Common Stock and, as such, will control the voting power of our

outstanding capital stock, as a result of which Mr. Wilk will have the power to elect a majority of the Combined Company’s directors. Pursuant to Nasdaq listing standards, a company of which more than 50% of the voting power for the election of directors is held by an individual, a group or another company qualifies as a “controlled company.” As a controlled company, the Combined Company will be exempt from certain Nasdaq corporate governance requirements, including the requirements (1) that a majority of the Combined Company Board consist of independent directors, (2) that the Combined Company Board have a compensation committee that is composed entirely of independent directors with a written charter addressing the committee’s purpose and responsibilities, and (3) that director nominees must either be selected, or recommended for the Combined Company Board’s selection, either by a majority of the independent directors in a vote in which only independent directors participate or a nominating committee comprised solely of independent directors. For at least some period following the Business Combination, the Combined Company may utilize these exemptions since the Combined Company Board has not yet made a determination with respect to the independence of any directors. Pending such determination, you may not have the same protections afforded to stockholders of companies that are subject to all of these corporate governance requirements. If the Combined Company ceases to be a “controlled company” and its shares continue to be listed on Nasdaq, the Combined Company will be required to comply with these standards and, depending on the board’s independence determination with respect to our then-current directors, the Combined Company may be required to add additional directors to its board in order to achieve such compliance within the applicable transition periods.

The controlled company exemptions do not modify the independence requirements for the audit committee, which will have to comply with the requirements of Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act and Nasdaq listing rules, including the requirement to have an audit committee comprised of at least three members, all of whom are independent.

Risks Related to Dave’s Business and Industry

The following risk factors will apply to Dave’s business and operations following the completion of the Business Combination. These risk factors are not exhaustive, and investors are encouraged to perform their own investigation with respect to the business, financial condition and prospects of Dave and its business, financial condition and prospects following the completion of the Business Combination. You should carefully consider the following risk factors in addition to the other information included in this proxy statement/prospectus, including matters addressed in the section titled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.” Dave may face additional risks and uncertainties that are not presently known to it, or that it currently deems immaterial, which may also impair Dave’s business or financial condition. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of Dave and notes to the financial statements included herein.

Unless the context otherwise requires, all references in this subsection to the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our” refer to Dave and its subsidiaries prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, which will be the Combined Company and any subsidiaries following the consummation of the Business Combination.

The industries in which we compete are highly competitive, which could adversely affect our results of operations.

The industries in which we compete are highly competitive and subject to rapid and significant changes. We compete against companies and financial institutions across the retail banking, financial services, consumer technology and financial technology services industries, as well as other nonbank lenders serving credit-challenged consumers, including online marketplace lenders, check cashers, point-of-sale lenders and payday lenders. We may compete with others in the market who may in the future provide offerings similar to ours, particularly companies who may provide money management, lending and other services though a platform similar to our platform. These and other competitors in the banking and financial technology industries are introducing innovative products and services that may compete with ours. We expect that this competition will continue as banking and financial technology industries continue to evolve, particularly if non-traditional non-recourse advance providers and other parties gain greater market share in these industries. If we are unable to differentiate our products and platform from and successfully compete with those of our competitors, our business, results of operations and financial condition will be materially and adversely affected.

Many existing and potential competitors are entities substantially larger in size, have more resources, are more highly diversified in revenue and substantially more established with significantly more brand awareness than ours. As such, many of our competitors can leverage their size, robust networks, financial wherewithal, brand awareness, pricing power and technological assets to compete with us. To the extent new entrants gain market share, the purchase and use of our products and services would decline. If price competition materially intensifies, we may have to decrease the prices of our products and services, which would likely adversely affect the results of operations.

Our long-term success depends on our ability to compete effectively against existing and potential competitors that seek to provide banking and financial technology products and services. If we fail to compete effectively

against these competitors, our revenues, results of operations, prospects for future growth and overall business will be materially and adversely affected.

The financial services industry is subject to rapid and significant technological changes. We cannot predict the effect of technological changes on our business. We expect that new services and technologies applicable to our industry will continue to emerge, and these new services and technologies may be superior to, or render obsolete, the technologies we currently utilize in our products and services. Our future success will depend, in part, on our ability to develop new technologies and adapt to technological changes and evolving industry standards. These initiatives are inherently risky, and they may not be successful or may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Additionally, we may make future investments in, or enter into strategic partnerships to develop new technologies and services or to implement infrastructure to further our strategic objectives, strengthen our existing businesses and remain competitive. However, our ability to transition to new services and technologies that we develop may be inhibited by a lack of industry-wide standards, changes to the regulatory landscape, resistance by consumers to these changes, or by the intellectual property rights of third parties.

If the prices we charge for our products and services are unacceptable to our Members, our operating results will be harmed.

We generate revenue by charging Members a fixed monthly rate for membership to our platform as well as additional fees related to optional expedited delivery of advances. Members who obtain a non-recourse advance through our platform also have the option to tip us. We also generate revenue from our Dave banking product through interchange and out-of-network ATM fees, as well as from our job portal service through referral fees from partner companies. As the market for our platform matures, or as new or existing competitors introduce new products or services that compete with ours, we may experience pricing pressure and be unable to retain current Members and attract new Members at prices that are consistent with our pricing model and operating budget. Our pricing strategy for new products and services we introduce may prove to be unappealing to our Members, and our competitors could choose to bundle certain products and services competitive with ours. If this were to occur, it is possible that we would have to change our pricing strategies or reduce our prices, which could harm our revenue, gross profits, and operating results.

Our non-recourse advance product exposes us to financial losses if Members do not repay the advance we provide to them. The timing and volume of advance repayments have a significant impact on our financial results and cash flows. If a large number of Members do not repay advances, our financial condition and operating results would be adversely affected.

Our underwriting standards may not offer adequate protection against the risk of non-payment, especially in periods of economic uncertainty such as has existed with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. As our cash advances are non-recourse, we have no remedy if a Member fails to repay an advance.

Our ability to accurately forecast performance and determine an appropriate provision and allowance for credit losses, is critical to our business and financial results. The allowance for credit losses is established through a provision for credit losses based on management’s evaluation of the risk inherent in the cash advance portfolio, the composition of the portfolio, specific impaired advances, and current economic conditions. Please see

“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” in this proxy statement/prospectus.

There can be no assurance that our performance forecasts will be accurate. In periods with changing economic conditions, accurately forecasting repayment of advances is more difficult. Our allowance for losses is an estimate, and if actual repayment defaults are materially greater than our allowance for losses, or more generally, if our forecasts are not accurate, our financial position, liquidity and results of operations could be materially adversely affected. For example, uncertainty surrounding the continuing economic impact of COVID-19 on our Members has made historical information on credit losses slightly less reliable in the current environment, and there can be no assurances that we have accurately estimated repayment rates.

We may not be able to scale our business quickly enough to meet our Members’ growing needs, and if we are not able to grow efficiently, our operating results could be harmed.

As usage of our platform grows and we sign additional strategic partners, we will need to devote additional resources to improving and maintaining our infrastructure and computer network and integrating with third-party applications to maintain the performance of our platform. In addition, we will need to appropriately scale our internal business systems and our services organization, including customer support, risk and compliance operations, and professional services, to serve our growing Members base.

Any failure of or delay in these efforts could result in service interruptions, impaired system performance, and reduced Member satisfaction, which could hurt our revenue growth. If sustained or repeated, performance issues could reduce the attractiveness of our platform to Members and could result in lost Member opportunities, which could hurt our revenue growth, Member loyalty, and our reputation. Even if we are successful in these efforts to scale our business, they will be expensive and complex, and require the dedication of significant management time and attention. We could also face inefficiencies or service disruptions as a result of our efforts to scale our internal infrastructure. We cannot be sure that the expansion and improvements to our internal infrastructure will be effectively implemented on a timely basis, if at all, and such failures could adversely affect our business, operating results, and financial condition.

If we are unable to acquire new Members and retain our current members or sell additional functionality and services to them, our revenue growth will be adversely affected.

To increase our revenue, in addition to acquiring new Members, we must continue to retain existing members and convince them to expand their use of our platform by increasing the number of members and incenting them to pay for additional functionality. Our ability to retain our Members and increase their usage could be impaired for a variety of reasons, including member reaction to changes in the pricing of our products or the other risks described in this proxy statement/prospectus. As a result, we may be unable to retain existing Members or increase the usage of our platform by them, which would have an adverse effect on our business, revenue, gross margins, and other operating results, and accordingly, on the trading price of our common stock.

Our ability to sell additional functionality to our existing Members may require more sophisticated and costly sales efforts. Similarly, the rate at which our Members purchase additional products from us depends on several factors, including general economic conditions and the pricing of additional product functionality. If our efforts to sell additional functionality to our Members are not successful, our business and growth prospects would suffer.

Our member subscriptions are open-ended arrangements that can be terminated by the Member without penalty at any time. For us to maintain or improve our operating results, it is important that our members continue to maintain their subscriptions on the same or more favorable terms. We cannot accurately predict renewal or expansion rates given the diversity of our member base in terms of size, industry, and geography. Our renewal and expansion rates may decline or fluctuate as a result of several factors, including member spending levels, member satisfaction with our platform, decreases in the number of members, pricing changes, competitive

conditions, the acquisition of our members by other companies, and general economic conditions. If our members do not renew their subscriptions, or if they reduce their usage of our platform, our revenue and other operating results will decline and our business will be adversely affected. If our renewal or expansion rates fall significantly below the expectations of the public market, securities analysts, or investors, the trading price of our common stock would likely decline.

We have limited operating history and face significant challenges as a new entrant in our industry.

We were incorporated in October 2015 and we have a relatively short operating history in the financial services industry, which is continuously evolving. We have limited experience to date in building consumer financial services technology. We cannot assure you that we will be able to develop products and services on our platform that will enable us to meet quality, price and engineering standards, as well as comply with any regulatory standards we may be subject to. You should consider our business and prospects in light of the risks and significant challenges we face as a new entrant in our industry, including, among other things, with respect to our ability to:

•

build a well-recognized, trusted and respected brand;

•

establish and expand our Member base;

•

successfully market our products and services;

•

properly price our services and successfully anticipate the usage of such services by our Members;

•

improve and maintain our operational efficiency;

•

maintain a reliable, secure, high-performance and scalable technology infrastructure;

•

predict our future revenues and appropriately budget our expenses;

•

attract, retain and motivate talented employees;

•

anticipate trends that may emerge and affect our business;

•

anticipate and adapt to changing market conditions, including technological developments and changes in competitive landscape; and

•

navigate an evolving and complex regulatory environment.

If we fail to address any or all of these risks and challenges, our business may be materially and adversely affected.

Changes in debit interchange rates could adversely affect our business, financial position and results of operations.

We expect interchange revenues from fees charged to merchants by card networks for processing a debit or credit payment to represent a significant percentage of our total operating revenues as adoption of our Dave banking product increases. The amount of interchange revenues that we earn is highly dependent on the interchange rates that the payment networks set and adjust from time to time.

The enactment of the Dodd-Frank Act required the Federal Reserve Board to implement regulations that have substantially limited interchange fees for many debit card issuers. While the interchange rates that may be earned by us are exempt from the limitations imposed by the Dodd-Frank Act, there can be no assurance that future regulation or changes by the payment networks will not impact our interchange revenues substantially. If interchange rates decline, whether due to actions by the payment networks or future regulation, we would likely need to change our fee structure to offset the loss of interchange revenues. To the extent we change the pricing of our Dave banking product, we might find it more difficult to acquire new Members, to maintain or grow Dave banking debit card usage and to retain existing Members. As a result, our total operating revenues, operating results, prospects for future growth and overall business could be materially and adversely affected.

If we lose key personnel, if their reputations are damaged, or if we are unable to attract and retain executives and employees we need to support our operations and growth, our business may be harmed.

Our success and future growth depend upon the continued services of our management team and other key employees who are critical to our overall management, as well as the continued development of our products, strategic partnerships, our culture and our strategic direction. Our business may also be adversely affected by the departure of members of our senior management team who have, over the years, developed long standing and favorable relationships with our bank sponsor and key payment processing and technology service providers. We currently do not have “key person” insurance on any of our employees. The loss of one or more of our senior management team members or other key employees could disrupt or harm our business, and we may not be able to find adequate replacements. We cannot ensure that we will be able to retain the services of any members of our senior management or other key employees or that we would be able to timely replace members of our senior management or other key employees should any of them depart.

If we fail to offer high-quality customer support, or if our support is more expensive than anticipated, our business and reputation could suffer.

Our Members rely on our customer support services to resolve issues and realize the full benefits provided by our platform. High-quality support is also important for the renewal and expansion of our subscriptions with existing Members. We primarily provide customer support over chat and email. If we do not help our Members quickly resolve issues and provide effective ongoing support, or if our support personnel or methods of providing support are insufficient to meet the needs of our Members, our ability to retain Members, increase adoption by our existing Members and acquire new Members could suffer, and our reputation with existing or potential Members could be harmed. If we are not able to meet the customer support needs of our Members by chat and email during the hours that we currently provide support, we may need to increase our support coverage and provide additional phone-based support, which may reduce our profitability.

We offer a number of free products and services to drive awareness, usage and adoption of all our products and services. If these marketing strategies are unsuccessful, our ability to grow our revenue will be adversely affected.

To encourage awareness, usage, familiarity and adoption of our platform, products and services, we offer a number of free products and services. These strategies may not be successful in leading users to become paid Members, use our revenue generating products or services, or contribute voluntary tips. To the extent that we are unable to generate revenue from new memberships or the use of our products and services, we will not realize the intended benefits of these marketing strategies and our ability to grow our revenue will be adversely affected.

We rely on agreements with Evolve Bank & Trust (“Evolve Bank”) to provide deposit accounts, debit card services and other transaction services to us and our Members. These agreements and corresponding regulations governing banks and financial institutions may give Evolve Bank substantial discretion in approving certain aspects of our business practices, including our application and qualification procedures for Members and require us to comply with certain legal requirements. Evolve Bank’s discretionary actions under these agreements could impose material limitations to, or have a material adverse effect on, our business, financial condition and results of operations. If our relationship with Evolve Bank is terminated, we would need to find another financial institution to provide those services, which could be difficult and expensive. If we are unable to find a replacement financial institution to provide the services we receive from Evolve Bank, we would not be able to service our deposit accounts, debit cards and other services, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Furthermore, our financial results could be adversely affected if our costs associated with using Evolve Bank materially change or if any penalty or claim for damages is imposed as a result of our breach of our agreements with them or their other requirements.

Our recent rapid growth, including growth in our volume of payments, may not be indicative of our future growth, and if we continue to grow rapidly, we may not be able to manage our growth effectively. Our rapid growth also makes it difficult to evaluate our future prospects and may increase the risk that we will not be successful.

Our operating revenues increased from $76.2 million in 2019 to $121.8 million in 2020. Although we have recently experienced significant growth in our revenue and transaction volume, even if our revenue continues to increase, we expect our growth rate will decline in the future as a result of a variety of factors, including the increasing scale of our business. Overall growth of our revenue depends on a number of factors, including our ability to:

•

price our products and services effectively to attract new Members;

•

Create new products and expand the functionality and scope of the products we offer on our platform;

•

maintain the rates at which Members subscribe to and continue to use our platform;

•

provide our members with high-quality support that meets their needs;

•

introduce our products to new markets;

•

successfully identify and acquire or invest in businesses, products or technologies that we believe could complement or expand our platform;

•

increase awareness of our brand and successfully compete with other companies; and

•

manage the risks related to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business and operations.

We may not successfully accomplish any of these objectives, which makes it difficult for us to forecast our future operating results. If the assumptions that we use to plan our business are incorrect or change in reaction to changes in our market, or if we are unable to maintain consistent revenue or revenue growth, it may be difficult to achieve and maintain profitability. You should not rely on our revenue from any prior quarterly or annual periods as any indication of our future revenue or revenue or payment growth.

In addition, we expect to continue to expand substantial financial and other resources on:

•

product development, including investments in our product development team and the development of new products and new functionality for our platform;

•

sales, marketing and customer success;

•

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

•

acquisitions and/or strategic investments;

•

regulatory compliance and risk management; and

•

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

These investments may not result in increased revenue growth in our business. If we are unable to increase our revenue at a rate sufficient to offset the expected increase in our costs, or if we encounter difficulties in managing a growing volume of payments, our business, financial position and operating results will be adversely affected, and we may not be able to achieve or maintain profitability over the long term.

We have historically incurred losses in the operation of our business. We may never achieve or sustain profitability.

Since incorporation in October 2015, we have been engaged in growth activities related to building our business, which requires substantial capital and other expenditures. We incurred net loss in fiscal year 2020, and we may incur losses again in the future. We expect our cash needs to increase significantly for the next several years as we:

•

market our products and services;

•

hire additional marketing, client support, engineering, product development and administrative personnel; and

•

expand our client support and service operations; and

•

implement new and upgraded operational and financial systems, procedures and controls.

As a result of these continuing costs and expenses, we need to generate significant revenues to attain and maintain profitability and positive cash flow. To date, our operations have been supported by equity and debt financings. If we do not continue to increase our revenues, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected.

We may require additional capital to support the growth of our business, and this capital may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all.

We have funded our operations since inception primarily through equity financings, sales of memberships to our platform, optional expedited processing fees and Member tips. We cannot be certain when or if our operations will generate sufficient cash to fully fund our ongoing operations or the growth of our business. We intend to continue to make investments to support our business, which may require us to engage in equity or debt financings to secure additional funds.

We expect that following the Closing, we will have sufficient capital to fund our planned operations for the next 18 months. We may need to raise additional funds through the issuance of equity, equity related or debt securities, or through obtaining credit from government, financial institutions or other lenders. We cannot be certain that additional funds will be available to us on favorable terms when required, or at all. If we cannot raise additional funds when we need them, our financial condition, results of operations, business and prospects could be materially adversely affected.

Our operating results may fluctuate in the future.

Our quarterly and annual results of operations may fluctuate in the future, which may adversely affect our stock price following the Business Combination. Fluctuations in our quarterly or annual results of operations might result from a number of factors, many of which are outside of our control, including, but not limited to:

•

the election by our Members of expedited processing of our non-recourse cash advance product

•

the timing and volume of tips our Members send to us;

•

the timing and volume of advance repayments

•

the timing and volume of subscriptions and use of our products and services;

•

the timing and success of new product or service introductions by us or our competitors;

•

fluctuations in Member retention rates;

•

changes in the mix of products and services that we provide to our Members;

•

the timing of commencement of new product development and initiatives, the timing of costs of existing product roll-outs and the length of time we must invest in those new products before they generate material operating revenues;

•

our ability to effectively sell our products through direct-to-consumer initiatives;

•

changes in our or our competitors’ pricing policies or sales terms;

•

costs associated with significant changes in our risk policies and controls;

•

the amount and timing of costs related to fraud losses;

•

the amount and timing of commencement and termination of major advertising campaigns, including partnerships and sponsorships;

•

disruptions in the performance of our products and services, and the associated financial impact thereof;

•

the amount and timing of costs of any major litigation to which we are a party;

•

the amount and timing of costs related to the acquisition of complementary businesses;

•

the amount and timing of capital expenditures and operating costs related to the maintenance and expansion of our business,

•

changes in our executive leadership team;

•

our ability to control costs, including third-party service provider costs and sales and marketing expenses in an increasingly competitive market; and

•

changes in the political or regulatory environment affecting the banking or financial technology service industries.

Criminals are using increasingly sophisticated methods to engage in illegal activities using deposit account products or Member information. Illegal activities involving products and services like ours often include malicious social engineering schemes. Illegal activities may also include fraudulent payment or refund schemes and identity theft. We rely upon third parties for transaction processing services, which subjects us and our Members to risks related to the vulnerabilities of those third parties. A single significant incident of fraud, or increases in the overall level of fraud, involving our products and services, have in the past and could in the future, result in reputational damage to us. Such damage could reduce the use and acceptance of our products and services, cause our banking and strategic partners to cease doing business with us, or lead to greater regulation that would increase our compliance costs. Fraudulent activity could also result in the imposition of regulatory sanctions, including significant monetary fines, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

In addition, to address the challenges we face with respect to fraudulent activity, we have implemented risk control mechanisms that have made it more difficult for all Members, including legitimate Members, to obtain and use our Dave banking product. We believe it is likely that our risk control mechanisms may continue to adversely affect the growth of our Dave banking product for the foreseeable future and that our operating revenues will be negatively impacted as a result.

We are exposed to losses from Dave banking Member accounts.

Fraudulent activity involving our Dave banking account may lead to Member disputed transactions, for which we may be liable under banking regulations and payment network rules. Our fraud detection and risk control mechanisms may not prevent all fraudulent or illegal activity. To the extent we incur losses from disputed transactions, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected. Additionally, our Members can incur charges in excess of the funds available in their accounts, and we may become liable for these overdrafts. While we decline authorization attempts for amounts that exceed the available balance in a Member’s account, the application of payment network rules and the timing of the settlement of transactions, among other things, can result in overdrawn accounts.

Our remaining overdraft exposure arises primarily from late-posting. A late-post occurs when a merchant posts a transaction within a payment network-permitted timeframe, but subsequent to our release of the authorization for

that transaction, as permitted by payment network rules. Under payment network rules, we may be liable for the transaction amount even if the Member has made additional purchases in the intervening period and funds are no longer available in the Member’s account at the time the transaction is posted.

We have grown rapidly and seek to continue to grow, and although we maintain a robust and multi-faceted risk management process, our business is always subject to the risk of financial losses as a result of operational errors, software defects, service disruption, employee misconduct, security breaches, or other similar actions or errors on our platform. Software errors in our platform and operational errors by our employees may also expose us to losses.

Moreover, our trustworthiness and reputation are fundamental to our business. The occurrence of any operational errors, software defects, service disruption, employee misconduct, security breaches, or other similar actions or errors on our platform could result in financial losses to our business and our Members, loss of trust, damage to our reputation, or termination of our agreements with strategic partners and accountants, each of which could result in:

•

loss of Members;

•

lost or delayed market acceptance and sales of our products and services;

•

legal claims against us;

•

regulatory enforcement action; or

•

diversion of our resources, including through increased service expenses or financial concessions, and increased insurance costs.

Although we maintain insurance to cover losses resulting from our errors and omissions, there can be no assurance that our insurance will cover all losses or our coverage will be sufficient to cover our losses. If we suffer significant losses or reputational harm as a result, our business, operating results, and financial condition could be adversely affected.

Cyberattacks and other security breaches or disruptions suffered by us or third parties upon which we rely could have a materially adverse effect on our business, harm our reputation and expose us to public scrutiny and liability.

In the normal course of business, we collect, process, use and retain sensitive and confidential information regarding our Members and prospective Members, including data provided by and related to Members and their transactions, as well as other data of the counterparties to their payments. We also have arrangements in place with certain third-party service providers that require us to share consumer information. Information security risks in the financial services industry continue to increase generally, in part because of new technologies, the use of the Internet and telecommunications technologies (including mobile devices) to conduct financial and other business transactions and the increased sophistication and activities of organized criminals, perpetrators of fraud, hackers, terrorists and other malicious third parties. In addition to cyberattacks and other security breaches involving the theft of sensitive and confidential information, hackers, terrorists, sophisticated nation-state and nation-state supported actors and other malicious third parties recently have engaged in attacks that are designed to disrupt key business services, such as consumer-facing websites.

These cybersecurity challenges, including threats to our own IT infrastructure or those of our Members or third-party providers, may take a variety of forms ranging from stolen bank accounts, business email compromise, user fraud, account takeover, check fraud or cybersecurity attacks, such as ransomware, unauthorized encryption,

denial-of-service attacks, social engineering, unauthorized access, spam or other attacks, to “mega breaches” targeted against cloud-based services and other hosted software, which could be initiated by individual or groups of hackers or sophisticated cyber criminals. A cybersecurity incident or breach could result in disclosure of confidential information and intellectual property, or cause service interruptions and compromised data. We may be unable to anticipate or prevent techniques used in the future to obtain unauthorized access or to sabotage systems because they change frequently and often are not detected until after an incident has occurred. We have administrative, technical, and physical security measures in place, and we have policies and procedures in place to contractually require service providers to whom we disclose data to implement and maintain reasonable privacy and security measures. Despite our security measures, and those of our third-party vendors, our information technology and infrastructure has experienced breaches and may be subject or vulnerable in the future to breaches or attacks. If our own confidential business information were improperly disclosed, our business could be materially and adversely affected. A core aspect of our business is the reliability and security of our platform. Any perceived or actual breach of security, regardless of how it occurs or the extent of the breach, could have a significant impact on our reputation as a trusted brand, cause us to lose existing partners or members, prevent us from obtaining new partners and members, require us to expend significant funds to remedy problems caused by breaches and implement measures to prevent further breaches, and expose us to legal risk and potential liability including from governmental or regulatory investigations, class action litigation and other lawsuits. If sensitive information is lost or improperly disclosed through a data breach or otherwise or threatened to be disclosed, we could experience a loss of confidence by our partners and members in the security of our systems, products and services and prevent us from obtaining new partners and members, and we could incur significant costs to remedy problems caused by breaches and implement measures to prevent further breaches, and expose us to legal risk and potential liability and penalties, including from governmental or regulatory investigations, class action litigation and other lawsuits, all of which could adversely affect our reputation and our operating results. Any actual or perceived security breach at a company providing services to us or our Members could have similar effects.

Most jurisdictions have enacted laws requiring companies to notify individuals, regulatory authorities and others of security breaches involving certain types of data. In addition, our agreements with certain partners and service providers may require us to notify them in the event of a security breach. Such mandatory disclosures are costly, could lead to negative publicity, may cause our Members to lose confidence in the effectiveness of our security measures and require us to expend significant capital and other resources to respond to and/or alleviate problems caused by the actual or perceived security breach. A security breach of any of our vendors that processes personally identifiable information of our Members may pose similar risks.

In May 2020, an unauthorized third party attempted to gain access to Dave Member accounts and was able to access Member profiles and Members’ partial or incomplete bank account information. We did not uncover any evidence that the attacker was able to take any actions with respect to the data, other than gaining read access to it, nor do we believe any unauthorized transactions were made or advances requested on the Dave system. We provided notice to relevant parties as required under applicable law and agreements and took steps to set up alerts to detect abnormal request volumes and introduced rate limiting at the IP address level. In addition, in June 2020, we were notified of an unauthorized third party breach of our Dave database. The third party was able to access to Dave’s system by breaching the system of one of Dave’s third party service providers. The attacker was able to download a large data set, including encrypted social security numbers for some Members; however, there was no evidence that unauthorized transactions were made or advances requested on the Dave system, nor do we believe that the third party gained access to decryption keys or was otherwise able to decrypt encrypted information. We took remedial measures, including the engagement of an outside security consultant to monitor for ongoing dark web activity and to conduct a security audit and incident investigation, and notified relevant parties as required under applicable law and agreements. As a result of these breaches, Dave did not experience any material adverse impact to its business or operation and any costs and expenses relating to such security breaches were not material to Dave. As we have increased our Member base and our brand has become more widely known and recognized, third parties may continue to seek to compromise our security controls or gain unauthorized access to our sensitive corporate information or our Members’ data.

If our banking partner or other strategic partners were to conclude that our systems and procedures are insufficiently rigorous, they could terminate their relationships with us, and our financial results and business could be adversely affected. Under our terms of service and our contracts with strategic partners, if there is a breach of nonpublic personal information of our Members that we store, we could be liable to the partner for their losses and related expenses.

While we maintain cybersecurity insurance, our insurance may be insufficient or may not cover all liabilities incurred by such attacks. We also cannot be certain that our insurance coverage will be adequate for data handling or data security liabilities actually incurred, that insurance will continue to be available to us on economically reasonable terms, or at all, or that any insurer will not deny coverage as to any future claim. The successful assertion of one or more large claims against us that exceed available insurance coverage, or the occurrence of changes in our insurance policies, including premium increases or the imposition of large deductible or co-insurance requirements, could have a material adverse effect on our business, including our financial condition, operating results, and reputation.

We guarantee certain obligations of one of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, which guaranty is secured by a first-priority lien against substantially all of our assets, and contains financial covenants and other restrictions on our actions, which could limit our operational flexibility and otherwise adversely affect our financial condition.

One of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, Dave OD Funding I, LLC (“Dave OD Funding”), has a senior secured credit facility with Victory Park Capital Advisors, LLC and certain of its affiliates, which are affiliates of VPCC (the “Credit Facility”). We have guaranteed up to $25,000,000 of Dave OD Funding’s obligations under the Credit Facility, and currently that limited guaranty is secured by a first-priority lien against substantially all of our assets. The Credit Facility contains financial covenants and other restrictions on our actions, which could limit our operational flexibility and otherwise adversely affect our financial condition.

Our business involves processing of large numbers of transactions and management of the data necessary to do so. Our success depends upon the efficient and error-free handling of the money that is collected, remitted or deposited in connection with the provision of our products and services. We rely on the ability of our vendors and third-parties to process and facilitate these transactions, including ACH processing (as we are not a bank), and debit card payment processing, in an efficient, uninterrupted and error-free manner. We also rely on third-party service providers to perform various functions relating to our business, including software development, marketing, operational functions, fraud detection, cloud infrastructure services, information technology, data analysis, and, because we are not a bank and cannot belong or directly access the ACH payment network, ACH processing, and debit card payment processing.

While we oversee these service providers to ensure they provide services in accordance with our agreements and regulatory requirements, we do not have control over the operations of any of the third-party service providers that we utilize. In the event that a third-party service provider for any reason fails to perform such functions, including negligence, willful misconduct or fraud, fire, natural disaster, power loss, telecommunication failures, software and hardware defects, terrorist attacks and similar events, our ability to process payments and perform other operational functions for which we currently rely on such third-party service providers will suffer and our business, cash flows and future prospects may be negatively impacted.

We use both internally developed and third-party systems, including cloud computing and storage systems, for our services and certain aspects of transaction processing. Any damage to, or failure of, third party computer network systems or data centers generally, or those of our vendors (including as a result of disruptions at our

third-party data center hosting facilities and cloud providers), or an improper action by our employees, agents or third-party vendors, could result in interruptions in our services, causing Members and other partners to become dissatisfied with our products and services or obligate us to issue refunds or pay fines or other penalties to them. Sustained or repeated system failures could reduce the attractiveness of our products and services, and result in Member attrition, thereby reducing operating revenue and harming our results of operations. Further, negative publicity arising from these types of disruptions could be damaging to our reputation and may adversely impact use of our products and services, including our platform, and adversely affect our ability to attract new Members and business partners.

If we fail to adequately protect our proprietary rights, our competitive position could be impaired and we may lose valuable assets, generate less revenue and incur costly litigation to protect our rights.

Our success is dependent, in part, upon protecting our proprietary technology and rights. We rely on a combination of copyrights, trademarks, trade secret laws, and contractual provisions to establish and protect our proprietary rights. However, the steps we take to protect our intellectual property may be inadequate. Any of our trademarks or other intellectual property rights may be challenged or circumvented by others or invalidated through administrative process or litigation. Furthermore, legal standards relating to the validity, enforceability, and scope of protection of intellectual property rights are uncertain. Despite our precautions, it may be possible for unauthorized third parties to copy our products and use information that we regard as proprietary to create products and services that compete with ours.

No assurance can be given that the contractual agreements we enter into to establish and protect our proprietary rights will be effective in controlling access to and distribution of our products and proprietary information. Further, these agreements do not prevent our competitors or partners from independently developing technologies that are substantially equivalent or superior to our platform.

Real or perceived software errors, failures, bugs, defects, or outages could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, and future prospects.

Our platform and our internal systems rely on software that is highly technical and complex. In addition, our platform and our internal systems depend on the ability of such software to store, retrieve, process, and manage immense amounts of data. As a result, undetected errors, failures, bugs, or defects may be present in such software or occur in the future in such software, including open source software and other software we license in from third parties, especially when updates or new products or services are released.

Any real or perceived errors, failures, bugs, or defects in the software may not be found until our consumers use our platform and could result in outages or degraded quality of service on our platform that could adversely impact our business, as well as negative publicity, loss of or delay in market acceptance of our products and services, and harm to our brand or weakening of our competitive position. In such an event, we may be required, or may choose, to expend significant additional resources in order to correct the problem. Any real or perceived errors, failures, bugs, or defects in the software we rely on could also subject us to liability claims, impair our ability to attract new consumers, retain existing consumers, or expand their use of our products and services, which would adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, and future prospects.

Dave’s management has limited experience in operating a public company.

Many of Dave’s senior management team have limited experience in the management of a publicly-traded company. The management team may not successfully or effectively manage the transition to a public company that will be subject to significant regulatory oversight and reporting obligations under federal securities laws. Their limited experience in dealing with the increasingly complex laws pertaining to public companies could be a significant disadvantage in that it is likely that an increasing amount of their time may be devoted to these activities, which will result in less time being devoted to the management and growth of the company’s operations. Dave may not have adequate personnel with the appropriate level of knowledge, experience and

training in accounting policies, compliance practices or internal controls required of public companies. The development and implementation of the standards and controls and the hiring of experienced personnel necessary to achieve the level of accounting standards required of a public company may require expenditures greater than expected, and a delay could impact Dave’s ability or prevent it from accurately and timely reporting its operating results, timely filing required reports with the SEC and complying with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”). It is possible that Dave will be required to expand its employee base and hire additional employees to support its operations as a public company, which will increase its operating costs in future periods.

Dave identified material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting, which for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 resulted in a restatement of its financial statements. If Dave is unable to remediate these material weaknesses, or if it identifies additional material weaknesses in the future or otherwise fails to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting, it may not be able to accurately or timely report its financial condition or results of operations, which may adversely affect Dave’s business and share price.

In connection with the preparation and audits of Dave’s consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, material weaknesses were identified in Dave’s internal control over financial reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of its annual or interim consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. These material weaknesses are as follows:

•

Dave did not design and maintain certain formal accounting policies, procedures, and internal controls to achieve complete, accurate and timely financial accounting, reporting and disclosures, including internal controls over the period-end financial reporting process addressing financial statement and footnote presentation and disclosures, account reconciliations, and journal entries. Additionally, the lack of a sufficient number of accounting and finance professionals resulted in an inability to consistently establish appropriate authorities and responsibilities in pursuit of Dave’s financial reporting objectives, as demonstrated by, amongst other things, insufficient segregation of duties within the finance and accounting functions.

•

Dave did not design and maintain effective controls over information technology (“IT”) general controls for information systems that are relevant to the preparation of its financial statements, specifically, with respect to: (i) program change management controls to ensure that IT program and data changes affecting financial IT applications and underlying accounting records are identified, tested, authorized and implemented appropriately; (ii) user access controls to ensure appropriate segregation of duties and that adequately restrict user and privileged access to financial applications, programs, and data to appropriate company personnel: and (iii) computer operations controls to ensure that critical batch jobs are monitored and data backups are authorized and monitored.

Additionally, in connection with the preparation of the Company’s June 30, 2021 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, management became aware of errors related to Member advances and the allowance for unrecoverable advances and concluded that (i) an error originated in the design of the journal entries related to the recoveries of Member advances and (ii) an error arose from the improper reconciliation of timing differences between the Member advances accounting records and the subledger, which resulted in the overstatement of Member advances, net of allowance for unrecoverable advances, and the understatement of the provision for unrecoverable advances. Management determined the effect of these corrections was material to the consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. Accordingly, the Company has restated the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 in accordance with ASC 250, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections. In addition to the adjustments to correct the overstatement of Member advances, net of allowance for unrecoverable advances, and the understatement of the provision for unrecoverable advances in the consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company also made the related adjustments to Prepaid income

taxes, Income taxes payable, Other non-current liabilities and Provision for incomes taxes. These adjustments did not affect operating revenues, total cash flows from operating activities, financing activities or investing activities for any period presented.

Dave has begun implementation of a plan to remediate the material weaknesses described above. Those remediation measures are ongoing and include (i) hiring additional accounting and IT personnel to bolster its technical reporting, transactional accounting and IT capabilities; (ii) designing and implementing controls to formalize roles and review responsibilities and designing and implementing formal controls over segregation of duties; (iii) designing and implementing formal processes, accounting policies, procedures, and controls supporting Dave’s financial close process, including creating standard balance sheet reconciliation templates and journal entry controls; (iv) designing and implementing IT general controls, including controls over change management, the review and update of user access rights and privileges and computer operations controls; and (v) redesigning its internal controls around the allowance for unrecoverable advances to detect and prevent future errors.

While Dave believes these efforts will remediate the material weaknesses, Dave may not be able to complete its evaluation, testing or any required remediation in a timely fashion, or at all. Dave cannot assure you that the measures it has taken to date and may take in the future, will be sufficient to remediate the control deficiencies that led to its material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting or that they will prevent or avoid potential future material weaknesses. The effectiveness of Dave’s internal control over financial reporting is subject to various inherent limitations, including cost limitations, judgments used in decision making, assumptions about the likelihood of future events, the possibility of human error and the risk of fraud. If Dave is unable to remediate the material weaknesses or identifies additional material weakness in the future, Dave’s ability to record, process and report financial information accurately, and to prepare financial statements within the time periods specified by the forms of the SEC, could be adversely affected which, in turn, to may adversely affect Dave’s reputation and business and the market price of the Combined Company. In addition, any such failures could result in litigation or regulatory actions by the SEC or other regulatory authorities, loss of investor confidence, delisting of Dave’s securities and harm to Dave’s reputation and financial condition, or diversion of financial and management resources from the operation of Dave’s business.

Dave’s forecasted operating results and projections are subject to significant uncertainty and rely in large part upon assumptions, analyses and internal estimates developed by Dave’s management, any or all of which may not prove to be correct or accurate. If these assumptions, analyses or estimates prove to be incorrect or inaccurate, Dave’s actual operating results may differ materially and adversely from those forecasted or projected. Realization of the results forecasted will depend on the successful implementation by the Combined Company of Dave’s proposed business plan, and policies and procedures consistent with the assumptions. Future results will also be affected by events and circumstances beyond the Combined Company’s control. For example, the competitive environment, the Combined Company’s executive team, rapid technological change, general economic conditions, governmental regulation, uncertainties inherent in product development, Dave’s future financing needs and its ability to grow and to manage growth effectively. In particular, Dave’s forecasts and projections include forecasts and estimates relating to the pricing of its products and expected size and growth of the markets in which Dave operates or seeks to enter. See “Risk Factors — If the prices we charge for our products and services are unacceptable to our Members, our operating results will be harmed.” Dave’s forecasts and projections also assume that Dave is able to acquire new Members and retain current Members. See “Risk Factors — If we are unable to acquire new Members and retain our current members or sell additional functionality and services to them, our revenue growth will be adversely affected.” For the reasons described above, and as set forth elsewhere in these Risk Factors, it is likely that the actual results of Dave’s operations will be different from the results forecasted and those differences may be material and adverse. The forecasts were

prepared by Dave’s management and have not been certified or examined by an accountant. Neither VPCC nor Dave has any duty to update the financial projections included in this proxy statement/prospectus.

We strive to deliver simple, transparent, and fair financial products, which may conflict with the short term interests of our stockholders.

Our core principle, and the foundation on which we have built our company, is to deliver simple, transparent, and fair financial products. Therefore, we have made in the past, and may make in the future, decisions that we believe will benefit our Members and therefore provide long-term benefits for our business, even if our decision negatively impacts our short-term results of operations. For example, the advances facilitated through our platform are non-recourse and currently have no mandatory fees. Our decisions may negatively impact our short-term financial results or not provide the long-term benefits that we expect, in which case the success of our business and results of operations could be harmed.

Negative publicity about us or our industry could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, and future prospects.

Negative publicity about us or our industry, including the transparency, fairness, Member experience, quality, and reliability of our platform or consumer fintech platforms in general, effectiveness of our risk models, our ability to effectively manage and resolve complaints, our privacy and security practices, litigation, regulatory activity, misconduct by our employees, funding sources, bank partners, service providers, or others in our industry, the experience of consumers with our platform or services, even if inaccurate, could adversely affect our reputation and the confidence in, and the use of, our platform, which could harm our reputation and cause disruptions to our platform. Any such reputational harm could further affect the behavior of consumers, including their willingness to obtain advances, deposit accounts, and other products and services facilitated through our platform. As a result, our business, results of operations, financial condition, and future prospects would be materially and adversely affected.

Our business, financial condition and results of operations have and may continue to be adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic or other similar epidemics or adverse public health developments, including government responses to such events.

There are many uncertainties regarding the current global pandemic involving a novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”), and the Company continues to closely monitor the impact of the pandemic on all aspects of its business, including how it has and may in the future impact its Members, employees, suppliers, vendors, and business partners. The duration and magnitude of the continuing effects of COVID-19 on the Company’s Members remain uncertain and dependent on various factors, including the continued severity and transmission rate of the virus, new variants of the virus, the nature of and duration for which preventative measures remain in place, the extent and effectiveness of containment and mitigation efforts, including vaccination programs, and the type of stimulus measures and other policy responses that the U.S. government may further adopt.

Beginning in March 2020, the Company’s business and operations were disrupted by the conditions caused by COVID-19, which adversely affected Members’ spending levels and disposable income. Governmental actions such as the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) helped mitigate the effects of COVID-19 on the Company’s Members. In particular, stimulus funds and incremental unemployment benefits provided under the CARES Act created additional financial support for the Company’s Members; however, the overall economic conditions potentially increases Members’ credit risk. Economic conditions that affect personal finances of members could also impact repayment of non-recourse advances that we make to our members. The Company is concurrently evaluating its policies around the level and extent of Members’ cash advances and corresponding credit risk. The Company expects to continue to assess the evolving impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and intends to make adjustments to its responses accordingly.

Additionally, concerns over the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic have caused volatility in financial and other capital markets, which may adversely affect our stock price following the Business Combination and our ability to access capital markets in the future.

If we cannot maintain our company culture as we grow, our success and our business may be harmed.

We believe our culture has been a key contributor to our success to date and that the nature of the platform that we provide promotes a sense of greater purpose and fulfillment in our employees. Any failure to preserve our culture could negatively affect our ability to retain and recruit personnel, which is critical to our growth, and to effectively focus on and pursue our corporate objectives. As we grow and develop the infrastructure of a public company, we may find it difficult to maintain these important aspects of our culture. If we fail to maintain our company culture, our business and competitive position may be adversely affected.

We use open source software in our products, which could subject us to litigation or other actions.

We use open source software in our products. From time to time, there have been claims challenging the ownership of open source software against companies that incorporate it into their products. As a result, we could be subject to lawsuits by parties claiming ownership of what we believe to be open source software. Litigation could be costly for us to defend, have a negative effect on our operating results and financial condition, or require us to devote additional research and development resources to change our products. In addition, if we were to combine our proprietary software products with open source software in a certain manner under certain open source licenses, we could be required to release the source code of our proprietary software products. If we inappropriately use or incorporate open source software subject to certain types of open source licenses that challenge the proprietary nature of our products, we may be required to re-engineer such products, discontinue the sale of such products, or take other remedial actions.

Natural catastrophic events, pandemics and man-made problems such as power-disruptions, computer viruses, data security breaches, and terrorism may disrupt our business.

Natural disasters, pandemics such as COVID-19, or other catastrophic events may cause damage or disruption to our operations, international commerce and the global economy, and thus could harm our business. We have a large employee presence in Los Angeles, California, and our data centers are located in Iowa. The west coast of the United States contains active earthquake zones and the greater Los Angeles area has experienced major fire danger in the past five years and may experience major fires in the future. In the event of a major earthquake, hurricane or catastrophic event such as fire, power loss, telecommunications failure, vandalism, cyber-attack, war, or terrorist attack, we may be unable to continue our operations and may endure system interruptions, reputational harm, delays in our application development, lengthy interruptions in the availability of our products and services, breaches of data security, and loss of critical data, all of which could harm our business, operating results, and financial condition.

Additionally, as computer malware, viruses, and computer hacking, fraudulent use attempts, and phishing attacks have become more prevalent, we, and third parties upon which we rely, face increased risk in maintaining the performance, reliability, security, and availability of our solutions and related services and technical infrastructure to the satisfaction of our Members. Any computer malware, viruses, computer hacking, fraudulent use attempts, phishing attacks, or other data security breaches related to our network infrastructure or information technology systems or to computer hardware we lease from third parties, could, among other things, harm our reputation and our ability to retain existing Members and attract new Members.

In addition, the insurance we maintain may be insufficient to cover our losses resulting from disasters, cyber-attacks, or other business interruptions, and any incidents may result in loss of, or increased costs of, such insurance.

Risks Related to Regulatory and Legal Matters

We operate in an uncertain regulatory environment and may from time to time be subject to governmental investigations or other inquiries by state, federal and local governmental authorities.

Determinations of compliance with applicable legal and regulatory requirements can be highly technical and subject to varying interpretations. From time to time we become aware of instances where our products and

services have not fully complied with requirements under applicable laws and regulations. When we become aware of such an instance, whether as a result of our compliance reviews, regulatory inquiry, Member complaint or otherwise, we generally conduct a review of the activity in question and determine how to address it, such as modifying the product, making Member refunds or taking other remedial actions

Failure to comply with applicable laws, regulations, rules and guidance, or any finding that our past forms, practices, processes, procedures, controls or infrastructure were insufficient or not in compliance, could subject us to regulatory enforcement actions, result in the assessment against us of civil, monetary, criminal or other penalties (some of which could be significant in the case of knowing or reckless violations), result in the issuance of cease and desist orders (which can include orders for restitution, as well as other kinds of affirmative relief), require us to refund payments, interest or fees, result in a determination that certain financial products are not collectible, result in a suspension or revocation of licenses or authorization to transact business, result in a finding that we have engaged in unfair and deceptive acts or practices, limit our access to services provided by third-party financial institutions or cause damage to our reputation, brands and valued Member relationships. We may also incur additional, substantial expenses to bring those products and services into compliance with the laws of various jurisdictions or as a result choose to stop offering certain products and services in certain jurisdictions.

Our failure to comply with any regulations, rules, or guidance applicable to our business could have a material adverse effect on our business. In addition, changes to, or the discontinuation of, certain products and services necessary to maintain compliance with regulatory and legal requirements or to adequately manage compliance-related risks may result in corresponding changes to or limitations on the fees we can charge and other sources of revenue we currently rely upon. Such failures or changes to our products, services or business may have substantial adverse effects on our prospects, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows and could prohibit or directly or indirectly impair our ability to continue current operations.

We are required to comply with frequently changing federal, state, and local laws and regulations that regulate, among other things, the terms of the financial products and services we offer. New laws or regulations may require us to incur significant expenses to ensure compliance. Federal and state regulators of consumer financial products and services are also enforcing existing laws, regulations, and rules more aggressively, and enhancing their supervisory expectations regarding the management of legal and regulatory compliance risks. For example, State attorneys general have indicated that they will take a more active role in enforcing consumer protection laws, including through the establishment of state consumer protection agencies as well as the use of Dodd-Frank Act provisions that authorize state attorneys general to enforce certain provisions of federal consumer financial laws and obtain civil money penalties and other relief available to the CFPB.

In addition, regulators are interpreting existing laws, regulations and rules in new and different ways as they attempt to apply them to novel products and business models such as ours. Changes in the laws, regulations and enforcement priorities applicable to our business, or changes in the way existing laws and regulations are interpreted and applied to us, could have a material impact on our business model, operations and financial position. In some cases, these measures could even directly prohibit some or all of our current business activities in certain jurisdictions or render them unprofitable and/or impractical to continue.

The application of traditional federal and state consumer protection statutes and related regulations to innovative products offered by financial technology companies such as us is often uncertain, evolving and unsettled. To the extent that our products are deemed to be subject to any such laws, we could be subject to additional compliance obligations, including state licensing requirements, disclosure requirements and usury or fee limitations, among other things. Application of such requirements and restrictions to our products and services could require us to

make significant changes to our business practices (which may increase our operating expenses and/or decrease revenue) and, in the event of retroactive application of such laws, subject us to litigation or enforcement actions that could result in the payment of damages, restitution, monetary penalties, injunctive restrictions, or other sanctions, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position, and results of operations.

Further, we may not be able to respond quickly or effectively to regulatory, legislative, and other developments, and these changes may in turn impair our ability to offer our existing or planned features, products, and services and/or increase our cost of doing business. In addition, we expect to continue to launch new products and services in the coming years, which may subject us to additional legal and regulatory requirements under federal, state and local laws and regulations. To the extent the application of these laws or regulations to our new offerings is unclear or evolving, including changing interpretations and the implementation of new or varying regulatory requirements by federal or state governments and regulators, this may significantly affect or change our proposed business model, increase our operating expenses and hinder or delay our anticipated launch timelines for new products and services.

If we were to become directly subject to banking regulations or be subjected to additional third-party risk management obligations, our business model may need to be substantially altered and we may not be able to continue to operate our business as it is currently operated.

We are not currently subject to laws and regulations applicable to traditional banks. However, banking products made available through us by our bank partner remain subject to regulation and supervision by our bank partner’s regulators and we, as a service provider to our bank partner, undertake certain compliance obligations. If we were to become directly subject to banking regulations or if the third-party risk management requirements applicable to us were to change, our business model may need to be substantially altered and we may not be able to continue to operate our business as it is currently operated. Failure by us, or any of our business partners, to comply with applicable laws and regulations could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position and results of operations.

Our business is subject to extensive regulation and oversight in a variety of areas, including registration and licensing requirements under federal, state and local laws and regulations.

We are subject to extensive regulation under United States federal and state laws and regulations. Regulators have broad discretion with respect to the interpretation, implementation, and enforcement of these laws and regulations, including through enforcement actions that could subject us to civil money penalties, Member remediations, increased compliance costs, and limits or prohibitions on our ability to offer certain products or services or to engage in certain activities. Any failure or perceived failure to comply with any of these laws or regulations could subject us to lawsuits or governmental actions and/or damage our reputation, which could materially and adversely affect our business. Moreover, any competitors subject to different, or in some cases less restrictive, legislative or regulatory regimes may have or obtain a competitive advantage over us.

We are subject to the regulatory and enforcement authority of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (“CFPB”), which oversees compliance with federal consumer financial protection laws. In addition, our partnership with Evolve Bank is subject to the supervisory authority of the Federal Reserve, which is Evolve Bank’s primary federal bank regulator. The CFPB has broad enforcement powers, and upon determining a violation of applicable law has occurred can order, among other things, rescission or reformation of contracts, the refund of moneys, restitution, disgorgement or compensation for unjust enrichment, the payment of damages or other monetary relief, public notifications regarding violations, limits on activities or functions, remediation of practices, external compliance monitoring and civil money penalties. At this time, we are unable to predict the outcome of this CFPB investigation, including whether the investigation will result in any action, proceeding, fines or penalties against us. The cost of responding to investigations can be substantial and an adverse resolution to an investigation, including a consent order or other settlement, may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position, results of operations and future prospects

In June 2020, we received a Civil Investigative Demand (“CID”) notifying us that the CFPB had opened a non-public investigation into various aspects of our non-recourse cash paycheck advance business in compliance with the prohibition against UDAAPs, the EFTA, and, to the extent it applies, the Truth in Lending Act. We provided the CFPB with all information and documents required by the CID, and on September 27, 2021, the CFPB staff notified us that it currently did not intend to recommend that the CFPB take any enforcement action.

We have been and may in the future also be subject to investigations and potential enforcement actions that may be brought by state regulatory authorities, state attorneys general or other state enforcement authorities and other governmental agencies. Any such actions could subject us to civil money penalties and fines, Member remediations, and increased compliance costs, damage our reputation and brand and limit or prohibit our ability to offer certain products and services or engage in certain business practices. Further, in some cases, regardless of fault, it may be less time-consuming or costly to settle these matters, which may require us to implement certain changes to our business practices, provide remediation to certain individuals or make a settlement payment to a given party or regulatory body.

If we were found to be operating without having obtained necessary state or local licenses, it could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, and future prospects.

Certain states have adopted laws regulating and requiring licensing, registration, notice filing, or other approval by parties that engage in certain activities regarding consumer finance transactions. We have also received inquiries from state regulatory agencies regarding requirements to obtain licenses from or register with those states, including in states where we have determined that we are not required to obtain such a license or be registered with the state, and we expect to continue to receive such inquiries. The application of some consumer financial licensing laws to our platform and the related activities it performs is unclear. In addition, state licensing requirements may evolve over time, including, in particular, recent trends in legislation seeking to impose licensing requirements and regulation of parties engaged in non-recourse advance activities.

If we were found to be in violation of applicable state licensing requirements by a court or a state, federal, or local enforcement agency, or agree to resolve such concerns by voluntary agreement, we could be subject to or agree to pay fines, damages, injunctive relief (including required modification or discontinuation of our business in certain areas), criminal penalties, and other penalties or consequences, and the non-recourse advances facilitated through our platform could be rendered void in whole or in part, any of which could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition. For example, we have received and responded to inquiries from the New York Department of Financial Services in connection with a multi-state investigation of nonrecourse advance and early wage access companies, as well as the Washington State Department of Financial Institutions, the Kentucky Department of Financial Institutions, in each case regarding whether the non-recourse advance products we offer in those states should subject us to state licensing and related requirements. In August 2021, we entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) with the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation (“CA DFPI”). The MOU requires us to provide the CA DFPI with certain information as requested by the CA DFPI and adhere to certain best practices in connection with our non-recourse cash advance product (including certain disclosures related to us not being licensed by the CA DFPI).

We are subject to a variety of laws, rules, directives, and regulations, as well as contractual obligations, relating to the processing of personal information, including personally identifiable information. The regulatory framework for privacy and data protection worldwide is rapidly evolving and, as a result, implementation standards and enforcement practices are likely to continue to evolve for the foreseeable future. Legislators and regulators are increasingly adopting or revising privacy and data protection laws, rules, directives, and regulations that could have a significant impact on our current and planned privacy and data protection-related practices; our processing of consumer or employee information; and our current or planned business activities.

Compliance with current or future privacy and data protection laws (including those regarding security breach notification) affecting consumer and/or employee data to which we are subject could result in higher compliance and technology costs and could restrict our ability to provide certain products and services (such as products or services that involve us sharing information with third parties or storing sensitive information), which could materially and adversely affect our profitability and could reduce income from certain business initiatives.

Our failure, or the failure of any third party with whom we work, to comply with privacy and data protection laws could result in potentially significant regulatory investigations and government actions, litigations, fines, or sanctions, consumer, funding source, or bank partner actions, and damage to our reputation and brand, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our business. Complying with privacy and data protection laws and regulations may cause us to incur substantial operational costs or require us to change our business practices. We may not be successful in our efforts to achieve compliance either due to internal or external factors, such as resource allocation limitations or a lack of vendor cooperation. We have in the past, and may in the future, receive complaints or notifications from third parties alleging that we have violated applicable privacy and data protection laws and regulations. Non-compliance could result in proceedings against us by governmental entities, consumers, data subjects, or others. We may also experience difficulty retaining or obtaining new consumers in these jurisdictions due to the legal requirements, compliance cost, potential risk exposure, and uncertainty for these entities, and we may experience significantly increased liability with respect to these consumers.

In addition to government regulation, privacy advocates and industry groups may propose new and different self-regulatory standards that may apply to us. Because the interpretation and application of privacy and data protection laws, regulations, rules, and other standards are still uncertain, it is possible that these laws, rules, regulations, and other actual or alleged legal obligations, such as contractual or self-regulatory obligations, may be interpreted and applied in a manner that is inconsistent with our existing data management practices or the functionality of our platform. If so, in addition to the possibility of fines, lawsuits and other claims, we could be required to fundamentally change our business activities and practices or modify our software, which could have an adverse effect on our business.

Any failure or perceived failure by us to comply with laws, regulations, policies, legal, or contractual obligations, industry standards, or regulatory guidance relating to privacy or data security, may result in governmental investigations and enforcement actions, litigation, fines and penalties, or adverse publicity, and could cause our Members and partners to lose trust in us, which could have an adverse effect on our reputation and business. We expect that there will continue to be new proposed laws, regulations, and industry standards relating to privacy, data protection, marketing, consumer communications, and information security, and we cannot determine the impact such future laws, regulations, and standards may have on our business. Future laws, regulations, standards, and other obligations or any changed interpretation of existing laws or regulations could impair our ability to develop and market new functionality and maintain and grow our Member base and increase revenue. Future restrictions on the collection, use, sharing, or disclosure of data, or additional requirements for express or implied consent of our Members, partners, or end users for the use and disclosure of such information could require us to incur additional costs or modify our platform, possibly in a material manner, and could limit our ability to develop new functionality.

If we are not able to comply with these laws or regulations, or if we become liable under these laws or regulations, we could be directly harmed, and we may be forced to implement new measures to reduce our exposure to this liability. This may require us to expend substantial resources or to discontinue certain products, which would negatively affect our business, financial condition, and operating results. In addition, the increased attention focused upon liability issues as a result of lawsuits and legislative proposals could harm our reputation or otherwise adversely affect the growth of our business. Furthermore, any costs incurred as a result of this potential liability could harm our operating results.

Any future litigation against us could be costly and time-consuming to defend.

We have in the past and may in the future become subject to legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business, such as claims brought by our Members in connection with commercial disputes,

employment claims made by our current or former employees, or claims for reimbursement following misappropriation of Member data. Litigation might result in substantial costs and may divert management’s attention and resources, which might seriously harm our business, overall financial condition, and operating results. Insurance might not cover such claims, might not provide sufficient payments to cover all the costs to resolve one or more such claims, and might not continue to be available on terms acceptable to us. A claim brought against us that is uninsured or underinsured could result in unanticipated costs, thereby reducing our operating results and leading analysts or potential investors to reduce their expectations of our performance, which could reduce the trading price of our stock following the Business Combination.

Risks Related to Ownership of the Combined Company Common Stock after the Closing of the Business Combination

The dual class structure of the Combined Company Common Stock has the effect of concentrating voting control with Jason Wilk, Dave’s founder, members of the Combined Company Board and its Chief Executive Officer and President, respectively. This will limit or preclude your ability to influence corporate matters, including the outcome of important transactions, including a change in control.

Shares of Combined Company Class V Common Stock will have 10 votes per share, while shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock will have one vote per share. Jason Wilk, Dave’s co-founder and its Chief Executive Officer and President, respectively, will hold all of the issued and outstanding shares of Combined Company Class V Common Stock following the Closing of the Business Combination. Accordingly, Mr. Wilk will hold approximately 69.0% of the voting power of the Combined Company’s capital stock on a fully-diluted basis (assuming, among other things, that no public shareholders elect to have their public shares redeemed) and will be able to control matters submitted to its stockholders for approval, including the election of directors, amendments of its organizational documents and any merger, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of the Combined Company’s assets or other major corporate transactions. Mr. Wilk may have interests that differ from yours and may vote in a way with which you disagree and which may be adverse to your interests. This concentrated control may have the effect of delaying, preventing or deterring a change in control of the Combined Company, could deprive its stockholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their capital stock as part of a sale of the Combined Company and might ultimately affect the market price of shares of the Combined Company Class A Common Stock. For information about the Combined Company’s dual class structure, see the section titled “Description of Securities.”

The Combined Company’s dual class structure may depress the trading price of the Combined Company Class A Common Stock.

The Combined Company cannot predict whether its dual class structure will result in a lower or more volatile market price of the Combined Company Class A Common Stock or in adverse publicity or other adverse consequences. For example, certain index providers have announced restrictions on including companies with multiple-class share structures in certain of their indexes. S&P Dow Jones and FTSE Russell have announced changes to their eligibility criteria for inclusion of shares of public companies on certain indices, including the S&P 500, pursuant to which companies with multiple classes of shares of common stock are excluded. In addition, several stockholder advisory firms have announced their opposition to the use of multiple class structures. As a result, the dual class structure of the Combined Company’s Common Stock may cause stockholder advisory firms to publish negative commentary about the Combined Company’s corporate governance practices or otherwise seek to cause the Combined Company to change its capital structure. Any such exclusion from indices or any actions or publications by stockholder advisory firms critical of the Combined Company’s corporate governance practices or capital structure could adversely affect the value and trading market of the Combined Company Class A Common Stock.

There can be no assurance that Combined Company Class A Common Stock will be able to comply with the listing standards of Nasdaq.

VPCC’s Units, VPCC Class A Common Stock and Public Warrants are currently listed on the NYSE and, in connection with the Closing, we intend to list the Combined Company Class A Common Stock and the Public

Warrants on Nasdaq under the symbols “DAVE” and “DAVEW.” The Combined Company’s eligibility for listing may depend on, among other things, the number of Public Shares that are redeemed. There can be no assurance that Combined Company will be able to comply with the listing standards of Nasdaq. If, after the Business Combination, Nasdaq delists the Combined Company’s Class A common stock from trading on its exchange for failure to meet the listing standards, our stockholders could face significant material adverse consequences including:

•

a limited availability of market quotations for our securities;

•

reduced liquidity for our securities;

•

a determination that Combined Company Class A Common Stock is a “penny stock” which will require brokers trading in Combined Company Class A Common Stock to adhere to more stringent rules and possibly result in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for our securities;

•

a limited amount of news and analyst coverage; and

•

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

An active trading market for Combined Company Class A Common Stock may never develop or be sustained, which may make it difficult to sell the shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock you receive.

Following the Business Combination, the price of Combined Company Class A Common Stock may fluctuate significantly due to the market’s reaction to the Business Combination, general market and economic conditions and forecasts, our general business condition and the release of our financial reports. An active trading market for Combined Company Class A Common Stock may not develop or continue or, if developed, may not be sustained, which would make it difficult for you to sell your shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock at an attractive price (or at all). The market price of Combined Company Class A Common Stock may decline below your deemed purchase price, and you may not be able to sell your shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock at or above that price (or at all). Additionally, if Combined Company Class A Common Stock is delisted from Nasdaq for any reason, and is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, an inter-dealer automated quotation system for equity securities that is not a national securities exchange, the liquidity and price of Combined Company Class A Common Stock may be more limited than if we were quoted or listed on Nasdaq or another national securities exchange. You may be unable to sell your Combined Company Class A Common Stock unless a market can be established or sustained.

The market price of Combined Company Class A Common Stock and warrants may be volatile, which could cause the value of your investment to decline.

If an active market for Combined Company Class A Common Stock and warrants develops and continues, the trading price of Combined Company Class A Common Stock and warrants following the Business Combination could be volatile and subject to wide fluctuations. The trading price of Combined Company Class A Common Stock and warrants following the Business Combination will depend on many factors, including those described in this “Risk Factors” section, many of which are beyond our control and may not be related to our operating performance. Accordingly, the valuation ascribed to the Combined Company in the Business Combination may not be indicative of the price that will prevail in the trading market following the Business Combination. Any of the factors listed below could have a material adverse effect on your investment in Combined Company Class A Common Stock and warrants, and Combined Company Class A Common Stock and warrants may trade at prices significantly below the price you were deemed to have paid for them. In such circumstances, the trading price of Combined Company Class A Common Stock and warrants may not recover and may experience a further decline.

Factors affecting the trading price of Combined Company Class A Common Stock and warrants following the Business Combination may include:

•

actual or anticipated fluctuations in our quarterly financial results or the quarterly financial results of companies perceived to be similar to us;

•

changes in the market’s expectations about our operating results;

•

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

•

speculation in the press or investment community;

•

actual or anticipated developments in our business or our competitors’ businesses or the competitive landscape generally;

•

our operating results failing to meet the expectation of securities analysts or investors in a particular period;

•

changes in financial estimates and recommendations by securities analysts concerning us or the market in general;

•

operating and stock price performance of other companies that investors deem comparable to us;

•

publications of research reports by securities analysts about us, our competitors, or the space industry;

•

changes in laws and regulations affecting our business;

•

commencement of, or involvement in, litigation involving us;

•

changes in our capital structure, such as future issuances of securities or the incurrence of additional debt;

•

the volume of Combined Company Class A Common Stock available for public sale;

•

any major change in Combined Company board of directors or management;

•

sales of substantial amounts of Combined Company Class A Common Stock by directors, officers, significant stockholders or the PIPE Investors or the perception that such sales could occur;

•

general economic and political conditions such as recessions, interest rates, fuel prices, trade wars, pandemics (such as COVID-19), epidemics, currency fluctuations and acts of war or terrorism; and

•

other risk factors listed under this “Risk Factors” section.

Broad market and industry factors may materially harm the market price of Combined Company Class A Common Stock and warrants, regardless of our actual operating performance. The stock market in general and Nasdaq have, from time to time, experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of the particular companies affected. The trading prices and valuations of these stocks, and of Combined Company Class A Common Stock and warrants, may not be predictable. A loss of investor confidence in the market for the stocks of other companies that investors perceive to be similar to us could depress our stock price regardless of our business, prospects, financial conditions or results of operations. A decline in the market price of Combined Company Class A Common Stock or warrants also could adversely affect our ability to issue additional securities and our ability to obtain additional financing in the future.

In addition, in the past, following periods of volatility in the overall market and the market prices of particular companies’ securities, securities class action litigations have often been instituted against these companies. Litigation of this type, if instituted against us, could result in substantial costs and a diversion of our management’s attention and resources. Any adverse determination in any such litigation or any amounts paid to settle any such actual or threatened litigation could require that we make significant payments.

The Combined Company’s issuance of additional capital stock in connection with financings, acquisitions, investments, our stock incentive plans or otherwise will dilute all other stockholders.

We expect to issue additional capital stock in the future that will result in dilution to all other stockholders. We expect to grant equity awards to our employees, directors and consultants under our equity incentive plans. We

may also raise capital through equity financings in the future. As part of our business strategy, we may acquire or make investments in complementary companies, products or technologies and issue equity securities to pay for any such acquisition or investment. Any such issuances of additional capital stock may cause stockholders to experience significant dilution of their ownership interests and the per share value of Combined Company Common Stock to decline.

Future sales of shares by existing stockholders and future exercise of registration rights may adversely affect the market price of Combined Company Class A Common Stock.

Sales of a substantial number of shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock in the public market after the Closing, or the perception that such sales could occur, could adversely affect the market price of Combined Company Class A Common Stock and may make it more difficult for you to sell your Combined Company Class A Common Stock at a time and price that you deem appropriate. Immediately following the Closing and assuming consummation of the sale of shares pursuant to the PIPE Investment, there will be an estimated 319,293,816 shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock outstanding, assuming that none of the VPCC Stockholders exercise their redemption rights, and the Dave Stockholders, the Sponsor and the PIPE Investors will collectively own approximately 93.5% of the outstanding shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock. Assuming redemptions of all Public Shares (being our estimate of the maximum number of Public Shares that could be redeemed in connection with the Business Combination in order to satisfy the related minimum cash condition contained in the Merger Agreement) are redeemed in connection with the Business Combination, in the aggregate, the collective ownership of the Dave Stockholders, the Sponsor and the PIPE Investors would rise to an estimated 100% of the outstanding shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock as of the Closing. Immediately following the Closing, and assuming the no redemption scenario, we expect that approximately 1.6% of the outstanding shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock will be held by the Founder Holders.

The Sponsor and VPCC’s executive officers and directors entered into a letter agreement with VPCC, pursuant to which they agreed not to transfer, assign or sell (except to certain permitted transferees) (a) any Founder Shares until one year after the Closing or earlier if subsequent to the Business Combination, (i) the date, which is on or after the 150-day anniversary of the Closing Date, on which the closing price of Combined Company Class A 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 the initial business combination (which clause (a) has been amended by the Founder Holder Agreement) or (ii) the Combined Company completes a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of the Combined Company’s stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of the Combined Company Class A Common Stock for cash, securities or other property and (b) any Private Placement Warrants (or shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock upon exercise thereof) until 30 days after the completion of VPCC’s initial business combination. See the section entitled “The Business Combination and the Merger Agreement—Certain Agreements Related to the Business Combination—Lockup Agreements.”

Neither certain Dave Stockholders nor the PIPE Investors will be restricted from selling any of their shares of our Combined Company Class A Common Stock following the Closing, other than pursuant to the lock-up described below or by applicable securities laws. Sales of substantial amounts of Combined Company Class A Common Stock in the public market after the Business Combination, or the perception that such sales will occur, could adversely affect the market price of Combined Company Class A Common Stock and make it difficult for us to raise funds through securities offerings in the future.

At the Closing, the Combined Company, the Founder Holders and certain Dave Stockholders (including the Written Consent Parties), in each case who will receive Combined Company Class A Common Stock pursuant to the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby will enter into the Investor Rights Agreement in respect of the shares of Combined Company Common Stock held by the Founder Holders and such Dave Stockholders following the Closing. Pursuant to such agreement, among other things, the Founder Holders will

agree not to sell, transfer, pledge or otherwise dispose of shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock, shares of Combined Company Class V Common Stock or other securities exercisable therefor (as applicable), except for certain permitted transfers, for (i) in respect of the Dave Stockholders, six months following the Closing and (ii) in respect of the Founder Holders, the earlier of (x) 12 months following the Closing, (y) the date, which is on or after the 150-day anniversary of the Closing Date, on which the Combined Company Class A Common Stock achieves a trading price of at least $12.00 (as such trading price may be adjusted) for any 30-trading day period commencing on or after on or after the 150-day anniversary of the Closing, and (z) the date on which the Combined Company completes a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction resulting in all of the stockholders of the Combined Company having the right to exchange their shares of Combined Company Common Stock for cash, securities or other property.

Because we have no current plans to pay cash dividends on Combined Company Class A Common Stock, you may not receive any return on investment unless you sell your shares of for a price greater than that which you are deemed to have paid for it.

We have no current plans to pay cash dividends on Combined Company Class A Common Stock. The declaration, amount and payment of any future dividends will be at the sole discretion of Combined Company board of directors. The Combined Company board of directors may take into account general and economic conditions, our financial condition and operating results, our available cash, current and anticipated cash needs, capital requirements, contractual, legal, tax and regulatory restrictions, implications on the payment of dividends by us to our stockholders and such other factors as Combined Company board of directors may deem relevant. In addition, the terms of any future indebtedness would likely contain a number of restrictive covenants that impose significant operating and financial restrictions on us, including restricting or limiting our ability to pay cash dividends. Accordingly, the Combined Company may not pay any dividends on Combined Company Class A Common Stock in the foreseeable future.

If securities and industry analysts do not publish or cease publishing research or reports, or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research or reports, about our business or our market, our stock price and trading volume could decline.

The trading market for Combined Company Class A Common Stock and warrants will depend, in part, on the research and reports that securities and industry analysts publish about us, our business and our market. Securities and industry analysts do not currently, and may never, publish research on VPCC or the Combined Company. If securities and industry analysts do not commence coverage of the Combined Company, the Combined Company’s stock price and trading volume would likely be negatively impacted. In the event securities or industry analysts initiate coverage, if one or more of the analysts who cover us downgrade our stock, publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business or our market, or provide more favorable relative recommendations about our competitors, the Combined Company’s stock price would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of us or fail to publish reports on us regularly, we could lose visibility in the financial markets and demand for the Combined Company’s stock could decrease, which might cause the Combined Company’s stock price and trading volume to decline.

The Combined Company’s charter documents and Delaware law could prevent a takeover that stockholders consider favorable and could also reduce the market price of the Combined Company’s stock.

Assuming the passage of the Charter Amendment Proposal, certain provisions of the Proposed Charter and the Combined Company Amended and Restated Bylaws, as they will be in effect following the Closing, may have the effect of rendering more difficult, delaying, or preventing a change of control or changes in the Combined Company’s management. These provisions will provide for, among other things:

•

a classified board of directors whose members serve staggered three-year terms;

•

the authorization of “blank check” preferred stock, which could be issued by the Combined Company’s board of directors without stockholder approval and may contain voting, liquidation, dividend and other rights superior to the Combined Company Class A Common Stock;

•

a limitation on the ability of, and providing indemnification to, our directors and officers;

•

a requirement that special meetings of our stockholders can be called only by our board of directors acting by a written resolution by a majority the Combined Company’s directors then in office), the Chairperson of the Combined Company’s board of directors, the Combined Company’s Chief Executive Officer or our Lead Independent Director;

•

a requirement of advance notice of stockholder proposals for business to be conducted at meetings of the Combined Company’s stockholders and for nominations of candidates for election to the Combined Company’s board of directors;

•

a requirement that our directors may be removed only for cause and by a two-thirds (2/3) vote of the stockholders;

•

a prohibition on stockholder action by written consent;

•

a requirement that vacancies on our board of directors may be filled only by a majority of directors then in office or by a sole remaining director (subject to limited exceptions), even though less than a quorum; and

•

a requirement of the approval of the Combined Company board of directors or the holders of at least two-thirds (2/3) of our outstanding shares of capital stock to amend the Combined Company Amended and Restated Bylaws and certain provisions of the Proposed Charter.

These provisions may frustrate or prevent any attempts by stockholders of the Combined Company to replace or remove the Combined Company’s management by making it more difficult for stockholders to replace members of the Combined Company board of directors, which is responsible for appointing the members of our management. In addition, institutional stockholder representative groups, stockholder activists and others may disagree with our corporate governance provisions or other practices, including anti-takeover provisions, such as those listed above. We generally will consider recommendations of institutional stockholder representative groups, but we will make decisions based on what our board and management believe to be in the best long-term interests of the Combined Company and stockholders; however, these groups could make recommendations to our stockholders against our practices or our board members if they disagree with our positions.

Finally, upon the Closing, we will not opt out of the provisions of Section 203 of the DGCL, which generally prohibits a Delaware corporation from engaging in any of a broad range of business combinations with any “interested” stockholder for a period of three years following the date on which the stockholder became an “interested” stockholder.

These and other provisions in the Proposed Charter and the amended and restated bylaws of the Combined Company to be in effect upon the closing of the Business Combination and under Delaware law could discourage potential takeover attempts, reduce the price investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock and result in the market price of Combined Company Class A Common Stock being lower than it would be without these provisions.

VPCC’s Existing Charter provides and, assuming the passage of the Charter Amendment Proposal, the Proposed Charter that will be effective following the Closing will provide, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware will be the exclusive forum for the following types of actions or proceedings under Delaware statutory or common law:

•

any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Combined Company;

•

any action or proceeding asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by or any wrongdoing by any current or former director, officer, employee or agent of the Combined Company or any stockholder to the Combined Company or the Combined Company’s stockholders;

•

any action or proceeding asserting a claim against the Combined Company or any current or former director, officer or other employee of the Combined Company or any stockholder in such stockholder’s capacity as such arising out of or pursuant to any provision of the DGCL, the Proposed Charter or the Combined Company Amended and Restated Bylaws (as each may be amended from time to time);

•

any action or proceeding to interpret, apply, enforce or determine the validity of the Proposed Charter and/or the Combined Company Amended and Restated Bylaws (including any right, obligation or remedy thereunder);

•

any action or proceeding as to which the DGCL confers jurisdiction to the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware; or

•

any action or proceeding asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine, in all cases to the fullest extent permitted by law and subject to the court’s having personal jurisdiction over the indispensable parties named as defendants.

This provision would not apply to suits brought to enforce a duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or any claim for which the U.S. federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction. The Proposed Charter will further provide that, unless the Combined Company consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the federal district courts of the United States of America will be the exclusive forum for resolving any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

The Proposed Charter will provide that a state or federal court located within the state of Delaware will be the exclusive forum for substantially all disputes between us and our stockholders, which could limit our stockholders’ ability to obtain a chosen judicial forum for disputes with the Combined Company or its directors, officers, employees, or stockholders. If any other court of competent jurisdiction were to find either exclusive-forum provision in the Proposed Charter to be inapplicable or unenforceable, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving the dispute in other jurisdictions, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, although the Delaware Supreme Court ruled in March 2020 that federal forum selection provisions purporting to require claims under the Securities Act be brought in federal court were “facially valid” under Delaware law, there is uncertainty as to whether other courts will enforce our federal forum selection clause.

Risks Related to the Business Combination and VPCC

The Sponsor and each of VPCC’s officers and directors have agreed to vote in favor of the Business Combination and the other Proposals described herein to be presented at the Special Meeting, regardless of how our Public Stockholders vote.

The Sponsor and each of VPCC’s officers and directors have agreed to, among other things, vote in favor of the Business Combination Proposal and the other Proposals described herein to be presented at the Special Meeting. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, the Initial Stockholders collectively own approximately 20.0% of the outstanding shares of VPCC Common Stock. Accordingly, it is more likely that the necessary stockholder approval will be received than would be the case if the Initial Stockholders agreed to vote their Founder Shares in accordance with the majority of the votes cast by our Public Stockholders.

Neither the VPCC Board nor any committee thereof obtained a third party valuation in determining whether or not to pursue the Business Combination.

Neither the VPCC Board nor any committee thereof is required to obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking or accounting firm that the price that we are paying for Dave is fair to us from a financial

point of view. Neither the VPCC Board nor any committee thereof obtained a third party valuation in connection with the Business Combination. In analyzing the Business Combination, the VPCC Board conducted due diligence on Dave. The VPCC Board also consulted with VPCC’s management and its legal counsel, financial advisor and other advisors and considered a number of factors, uncertainty and risks, including, but not limited to, those discussed under “The Business Combination and the Merger Agreement—VPCC’s Board of Directors’ Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination,” and concluded that the Business Combination was in the best interest of the VPCC Stockholders. Accordingly, investors will be relying solely on the judgment of the VPCC Board in valuing Dave, and the VPCC Board may not have properly valued such businesses. The lack of a third party valuation may also lead an increased number of stockholders to vote against the Business Combination or demand redemption of their shares, which could potentially impact our ability to consummate the Business Combination.

Since the Sponsor and the members of VPCC’s management team have interests that are different, or in addition to (and which may conflict with), the interests of our stockholders, a conflict of interest may have existed in determining whether the Business Combination is appropriate as our initial business combination. Such interests include that the Sponsor will lose its entire investment in us if our business combination is not completed.

When you consider the recommendation of the VPCC Board in favor of approval of the Business Combination Proposal and the other Proposals included herein, you should keep in mind that the Sponsor and VPCC’s directors have interests in such Proposal that are different from, or in addition to, those of our stockholders and warrant holders generally. The VPCC Board was aware of and considered these interests, among other matters, in evaluating and negotiating the Business Combination and Merger Agreement and in recommending to our stockholders that they vote in favor of the Proposals presented at the Special Meeting, including the Business Combination Proposal. VPCC Stockholders should take these interests into account in deciding whether to approve the Proposals presented at the Special Meeting, including the Business Combination Proposal. These interests include, among other things:

•

If we do not consummate a business combination by March 9, 2023 (or if such date is extended at a duly called meeting of the VPCC Stockholders, such later date), we would: (1) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (2) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten(10) 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 VPCC Stockholders’ rights as VPCC Stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any); and (3) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining VPCC Stockholders and the VPCC Board, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to our obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. In such event, the 6,284,150 shares of VPCC Class B Common Stock owned by our Sponsor and the 60,000 shares of VPCC Class B Common Stock owned by the Current Independent Directors would be worthless because following the redemption of the Public Shares, we would likely have few, if any, net assets and because the Sponsor and each of VPCC’s officers and directors have agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such shares if we fail to complete a business combination within the required period. Additionally, in such event, the 5,100,214 Private Placement Warrants that the Sponsor paid $7,650,321 for will expire worthless. All of VPCC’s officers and directors have a direct or indirect economic interest in such shares. The 6,344,150 shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock that the Initial Stockholders and their permitted transferees will hold following the Business Combination (assuming the no redemption scenario), if unrestricted and freely tradable, would have had aggregate market value of approximately $62,997,409.50 based upon the closing price of $9.93 per share of VPCC Class A Common Stock on the NYSE on October 5, 2021, the most recent practicable date prior to the date of this proxy statement/prospectus. Given such shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock will be subject to certain restrictions, we believe such shares have less value.

The 5,100,214 Private Placement Warrants that the Sponsor will hold following the Business Combination, if unrestricted and freely tradable, would have had an aggregate market value of approximately $8,925,374.50 based upon the closing price of $1.75 per warrant on the NYSE on October 5, 2021, the most recent practicable date prior to the date of this proxy statement/prospectus.

Affiliates of Victory Park entered into a financing agreement with Dave on January 27, 2021 (the “Existing Financing Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, such affiliates of Victory Park have provided Dave with a $100 million delayed draw credit facility in order to finance future growth of Dave’s advance portfolio and accelerate growth of certain of Dave’s products through marketing initiatives. The amounts drawn under the Existing Financing Agreement generally accrue an interest rate equal to the sum of (i) 2.55% per annum (or the London Interbank Offered Rate last quoted by the Wall Street Journal for despots of U.S. Dollars for a period of three months on the last business day of each calendar month, whichever is higher) plus (ii) 6.95% per annum on the portion of the outstanding balance of amounts drawn that is less than or equal to $50 million, plus (iii) 5.95% per annum on the portion of the outstanding balance of amounts drawn that is greater than $50 million and less than or equal to $75 million, plus (iv) 5.45% per annum on the portion of the outstanding balance of amounts drawn that is greater than $75 million. The Existing Financing Agreement also includes, among other terms, representations and warranties on behalf Dave and its subsidiaries, rights of such affiliates of Victory Park in the event of certain specified events of defaults, provisions regarding repayment of outstanding amounts drawn, and prohibitions on certain actions by Dave and its subsidiaries. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, $30 million has been drawn by Dave under the Existing Financing Agreement. The parties anticipate that the Existing Financing Agreement will remain in place following the Closing of the Business Combination, and as such affiliates of Victory Park will be creditors of Dave following the consummation of the Business Combination.

•

Affiliates of Victory Park hold Dave Warrants that represent the right to purchase approximately 1.4% of the fully diluted equity of Dave, in the aggregate if all such Dave Warrants vest. Such Dave Warrants vest in increments equal to approximately 0.2% of the fully diluted equity of Dave for each $10 million funded by such affiliates of Victory Park to Dave under the Existing Financing Agreement, with all such Dave Warrants vesting at such time as $50 million has been funded by such affiliates of Victory Park under the Existing Financing Agreement. Once vested, the Dave Warrants may be exercised at any time prior to the earlier of (x) the fifth anniversary of the occurrence of Dave’s next equity financing in which Dave issues and sells shares of capital stock or securities yielding total equity proceeds to Dave of not less than $40 million (a “qualified financing event”) and (y) the occurrence of a liquidity event of Dave, which is broadly defined and includes a transaction or series of related transactions whereby a special acquisition company merges with or acquires equity interests of Dave (or any surviving or resulting company) and which transaction results in Dave (or any surviving or resulting company into which Dave is merged, consolidated, reorganized or combined), or any parent company that directly or indirectly beneficially owns Dave, being listed on a U.S. national securities exchange or market (a “liquidity event”). Such Dave Warrants are exercisable for a per share exercise price equal to (x) in the event such Dave Warrants are exercised in connection with or following a qualified financing event, the lowest price per share paid by a cash investor in connection with such qualified financing event or (y) in the event such Dave Warrants are exercised in connection with a liquidity event, the greater of (i) 80% of the fair market value of each share of common stock of Dave and (ii) approximately $3.75 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock combinations, etc.). Immediately prior to the Closing, it is anticipated that Dave Warrants to purchase 0.2% of the fully diluted equity of Dave will be vested and exercised into shares of Dave Capital Stock, with the remaining Dave Warrants terminating in accordance with their terms and the terms of the Merger Agreement. Accordingly, affiliates of Victory Park will receive shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock in connection with the Business Combination through their ownership of Dave Warrants.

•

the continuation of Brendan Carroll, one of our existing directors, as a director of the Combined Company following the Closing.

•

Our officers were not permitted to become a director or officer of any other blank check company until we entered into a definitive agreement regarding an initial business combination.

•

Our Sponsor and the Current Independent Directors will lose their entire investment in us if an initial business combination is not completed.

•

In connection with the Closing, our Sponsor would be entitled to the repayment of any outstanding working capital loan and advances that have been made to VPCC. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, our Sponsor has not made any advances to us for working capital expenses. If we do not complete an initial business combination within the required period, we may use a portion of our working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay the working capital loans, but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the working capital loans.

•

The existence of financial and personal interests of one or more of VPCC’s directors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of such director(s) between what such director(s) may believe is in the best interests of VPCC and its stockholders and what such director(s) may believe is best for such director(s) in determining to recommend that stockholders vote for the Proposals. See the section titled “The Business Combination and the Merger Agreement—Interests of Certain VPCC Persons in the Business Combination” for a further discussion of these considerations.

The financial and personal interests of the Sponsor as well as VPCC’s directors may have influenced their motivation in identifying and selecting Dave as a business combination target, completing an initial business combination with Dave and influencing the operation of the business following the initial business combination. In considering the recommendations of VPCC’s Board to vote for the Proposals, its stockholders should consider these interests.

Citigroup and Jefferies may have a potential conflict of interest regarding the Business Combination

Each of Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (“Citigroup”) and Jefferies LLC (“Jefferies”) served as underwriters in the IPO, and, upon consummation of the Business Combination, they will be entitled to receive $8,881,809 of deferred underwriting commission, of which Citigroup and Jefferies are each entitled to $4,440,904.50. The underwriters of the IPO have agreed to waive their rights to the deferred underwriting commission held in the trust account in the event VPCC does not complete an initial business combination within 24 months of the closing of the IPO. Accordingly, if the Business Combination, or any other initial business combination, is not consummated by that time and VPCC is therefore required to be liquidated, Citigroup and Jefferies will not receive any of the deferred underwriting commission and such funds will be returned to VPCC’s public stockholders upon its liquidation.

Furthermore, Citigroup and Jefferies were engaged by VPCC as its capital markets advisors in connection with the Business Combination and as co-placement agents in connection with the PIPE Investment.

In addition to paying each of Citigroup and Jefferies a capital markets advisory and placement agent fee upon the Closing of the Business Combination for their roles as capital markets advisors and co-placement agents, VPCC agreed to reimburse Citigroup and Jefferies for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including the fees and disbursements of Citigroup’s and Jefferies’ outside attorneys, and to indemnify Citigroup and Jefferies and certain related parties against liabilities, including liabilities under federal securities laws, in each case, in connection with, as a result of, or relating to their engagements.

Both Citigroup and Jefferies have an interest in VPCC completing a business combination prior to the expiration of the 24 month period following the closing of the IPO, and they both may have a potential conflict of interest given that they are entitled to the deferred portion of their underwriting compensation, and their capital markets advisory fees and placement agent fees are payable only if an initial business combination is completed within the specified timeframe. In considering approval of the Business Combination, VPCC’s stockholders should consider the roles of Citigroup and Jefferies in light of this potential conflict.

The exercise of the VPCC management team’s discretion in agreeing to changes or waivers in the terms of the Merger Agreement, including closing conditions, may result in a conflict of interest when determining whether such changes to the terms or waivers of conditions are appropriate and in the VPCC Stockholders’ best interest.

In the period leading up to the Closing, events may occur that, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, would require VPCC to agree to amend the Merger Agreement, to consent to certain actions taken by Dave or to waive rights that VPCC is entitled to under the Merger Agreement, including those related to closing conditions. Such events could arise because of changes in the course of Dave’s businesses or a request by Dave to undertake actions that would otherwise be prohibited by the terms of the Merger Agreement or the occurrence of other events that would have a material adverse effect on Dave’s businesses and would entitle VPCC to terminate the Merger Agreement. In any of such circumstances, it would be at VPCC’s discretion, acting through the VPCC Board, to grant its consent or waive those rights. The existence of financial and personal interests of one or more of the directors described in the preceding risk factors (and described elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus) may result in a conflict of interest on the part of such director(s) between what such director(s) may believe is best for VPCC and its stockholders and what such director(s) may believe is best for such director(s) in determining whether or not to take the requested action. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, VPCC does not believe there will be any changes or waivers that VPCC’s management team would be likely to make after the approval of the Business Combination Proposal by the VPCC Stockholders has been

obtained. While certain changes could be made without further stockholder approval, VPCC will circulate a new or amended proxy statement/prospectus and resolicit the VPCC Stockholders if changes to the terms of the transaction that would have a material impact on its stockholders are required prior to the vote on the Business Combination Proposal.

Because the Combined Company will be a “controlled company” within the meaning of the Nasdaq rules, our stockholders may not have certain corporate governance protections that are available to stockholders of companies that are not controlled companies.

So long as more than 50% of the voting power for the election of directors of the Combined Company is held by an individual, a group or another company, the Combined Company will qualify as a “controlled company” within the meaning of Nasdaq corporate governance standards. Following the completion of the Business Combination, Mr. Wilk will control over 70.3% of the voting power of the Combined Company’s outstanding capital stock, assuming the no redemption scenario. As a result, the Combined Company will be a “controlled company” within the meaning of the Nasdaq corporate governance standards and will not be subject to the requirements that would otherwise require us to have: (i) a majority of independent directors; (ii) a compensation committee that is composed entirely of independent directors with a written charter addressing the committee’s purpose and responsibilities ; and (iii) director nominees selected, or recommended for the Combined Company Board’s selection, either by a majority of the independent directors in a vote in which only independent directors participate or a nominating committee comprised solely of independent directors.

Mr. Wilk may have his interest in the Combined Company diluted due to future equity issuances or his own actions in selling shares of Combined Company Class V common stock, in each case, which could result in a loss of the “controlled company” exemption under the Nasdaq listing rules. The Combined Company would then be required to comply with those provisions of the Nasdaq listing requirements.

VPCC and Dave will incur significant transaction and transition costs in connection with the Business Combination.

VPCC and Dave have both incurred and expect to incur significant, non-recurring costs in connection with consummating the Business Combination and operating as a public company following the Closing. We and Dave may also incur additional costs to retain key employees. Certain transaction expenses incurred in connection with the Merger Agreement (including the Business Combination), including all legal, accounting, consulting, investment banking and other fees, expenses and costs, will be for the account of, or paid by, the party incurring such fees, expenses and costs, or otherwise paid by the Combined Company following the Closing.

VPCC’s transaction expenses as a result of the Business Combination are currently estimated at approximately $[●] in deferred underwriting discount and other advisory fees and transaction expenses. The amount of the deferred underwriting discount will not be adjusted for any shares that are redeemed in connection with the Business Combination. The per-share amount we will distribute to stockholders who properly exercise their redemption rights will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting discount and after such redemptions, the per-share value of shares held by non-redeeming stockholders will reflect our obligation to pay the deferred underwriting discount.

The announcement of the proposed Business Combination could disrupt Dave’s relationships with its Members, suppliers and others, as well as its operating results and business generally.

Whether or not the Business Combination is ultimately consummated, as a result of uncertainty related to the proposed transactions, risks relating to the impact of the announcement of the Business Combination on Dave’s business include the following:

•

its employees may experience uncertainty about their future roles, which might adversely affect Dave’s ability to retain and hire key personnel and other employees;

•

clients, affiliated professional entities, suppliers and other parties with which Dave maintains business relationships may experience uncertainty about its future and rescind their deposits, seek alternative relationships with third parties, seek to alter their business relationships with Dave or fail to extend an existing relationship with Dave; and

•

Dave has expended and will continue to expend significant costs, fees and expenses for professional services and transaction costs in connection with the proposed Business Combination.

If any of the aforementioned risks were to materialize, they could lead to significant costs which may impact Dave’s results of operations and cash available to fund its businesses.

Subsequent to the Closing, we may be exposed to unknown or contingent liabilities and may be required to subsequently take write-downs or write-offs, restructuring and impairment or other charges that could have a significant negative effect on our financial condition, results of operations and the price of our securities, which could cause you to lose some or all of your investment.

We cannot assure you that the due diligence conducted in relation to Dave has identified all material issues or risks associated with Dave, its business or the industry in which it competes. Furthermore, we cannot assure you that factors outside of Dave’s and our control will not later arise. As a result of these factors, we may be exposed to liabilities and incur additional costs and expenses and we may be forced to later write-down or write-off assets, restructure our operations, or incur impairment or other charges that could result in our reporting losses. Even if our due diligence has identified certain risks, unexpected risks may arise and previously known risks may materialize in a manner not consistent with our preliminary risk analysis. If any of these risks materialize, this could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations and could contribute to negative market perceptions about our securities or the Combined Company. Additionally, we have no indemnification rights against the Dave stockholders under the Merger Agreement and all of the purchase price consideration will be delivered to the Dave stockholders at the Closing. Accordingly, any stockholders or warrant holders of VPCC who choose to remain Combined Company stockholders or warrant holders following the Business Combination could suffer a reduction in the value of their shares and warrants. Such stockholders or warrant holders are unlikely to have a remedy for such reduction in value.

The historical financial results of Dave and unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus may not be indicative of what our actual financial position or results of operations would have been.

The historical financial results of Dave included in this proxy statement/prospectus do not reflect the financial condition, results of operations or cash flows Dave would have achieved as a public company during the periods presented or those we will achieve in the future. The Combined Company’s financial condition and future results of operations could be materially different from amounts reflected in Dave’s historical financial statements included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus, so it may be difficult for investors to compare the Combined Company’s future results to historical results or to evaluate its relative performance or trends in its business.

Similarly, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information included in this proxy statement/prospectus is presented for illustrative purposes only and has been prepared based on a number of assumptions including, but not limited to, VPCC being treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes in the Business Combination, the total debt obligations and the cash and cash equivalents of Dave on the date the Business Combination closes and the number of our Public Shares that are redeemed in connection with the Business Combination. Accordingly, such pro forma financial information may not be indicative of the Combined Company’s future operating or financial performance and the Combined Company’s actual financial condition and results of operations may vary materially from the pro forma results of operations and balance sheet contained elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus, including as a result of such assumptions not being accurate. Please see the section titled “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information.”

If we are unable to increase our revenues or our operating costs are higher than expected, our profitability may decline and our operating results may fluctuate significantly.

We may not be able to accurately forecast our revenues or future revenue growth rate. Many of our expenses, particularly personnel costs and occupancy costs, are relatively fixed. As a result, we may not be able to adjust spending quickly enough to offset any unexpected increase in expenses or revenue shortfall. We may experience higher than expected operating costs relating to other general and administrative expenses, including increased costs relating to technology and infrastructure (third-party SaaS), commitments to charity, transaction based costs (program expenses, association fees, processor fees, losses from Member disputed transactions, and fraud), depreciation and amortization of property and equipment and intangible assets, legal fees, rent, certain sales tax related costs, office related expenses, public relations costs, professional service fees, travel and entertainment, and insurance. If operating costs exceed our expectations and cannot be adjusted accordingly, our profitability may be reduced and our results of operations and financial position will be adversely affected. Additionally, we may not be able to sustain our revenue growth rates, and our percentage revenue growth rates may decline. Our ability to increase our revenues and operating profit will depend on increased demand for our services and other operational assumptions, including Member growth and retention, ExtraCash and subscription engagement trends and Dave Banking adoption and engagement rates. Our sales are affected by, among other things, general economic, industry, regulatory, market and financial conditions and trends, as well as unemployment rates. Reduced demand, whether due to changes in Member preference, a weakening of the U.S. or global economy, competition or other reasons, may result in decreased revenues and growth, adversely affecting our operating results.

We currently intend to only complete one business combination with the proceeds of our IPO and the sale of the private placement warrants, which will cause us to be solely dependent on Dave’s business. This lack of diversification may negatively impact our operations and profitability.

We currently intend to only complete one business combination with the proceeds of our IPO and the sale of the private placement warrants. By completing our Business Combination with only a single entity our lack of diversification may subject us to numerous economic, competitive and regulatory risks. Further, we would not be able to diversify our operations or benefit from the possible spreading of risks or offsetting of losses, unlike other entities which may have the resources to complete several business combinations in different industries or different areas of a single industry. Accordingly, the prospects for our success will be solely dependent upon the business and financial performance of Dave.

This lack of diversification may subject us to numerous economic, competitive and regulatory risks, any or all of which may have a substantial adverse impact upon the particular industry in which we may operate subsequent to the Business Combination. See “—Risks Related to Dave’s Business and Industry” for risks we may face as a result of consummating the Business Combination with Dave.

We have a minimum cash requirement. This requirement may make it more difficult for us to complete the Business Combination as contemplated.

The Merger Agreement provides that Dave’s obligation to consummate the Business Combination is conditioned on, among other things, as of the Closing, VPCC having at least $210,000,000 in available cash (including proceeds in connection with the PIPE Investment or any alternative financing and the funds in and outside of the Trust Account) immediately prior to the effective time of the consummation of the Mergers (after taking into account payments required to satisfy VPCC Share Redemptions).

In addition, pursuant to VPCC’s Existing Charter, in no event will we redeem Public Shares in an amount that would result in our net tangible assets (as determined in accordance with Rule 3a51-1(g)(1) of the Exchange Act) being less than $5,000,001. If such conditions are not met, and such conditions are not or cannot be waived under the terms of the Merger Agreement, then the Merger Agreement could terminate and the proposed Business Combination may not be consummated.

If such conditions are waived and the Business Combination is consummated, the cash held by the Combined Company and our subsidiaries (including Dave) in the aggregate, after the Closing may not be sufficient to allow us

to operate and pay our bills as they become due. Furthermore, our affiliates are not obligated to make loans to us or invest in us in the future after the Business Combination. The additional exercise of redemption rights with respect to a large number of our Public Stockholders may make us unable to take such actions as may be desirable in order to optimize our capital structure after the Closing and we may not be able to raise additional financing from unaffiliated parties necessary to fund our expenses and liabilities after the Closing. Any such event in the future may negatively impact the analysis regarding our ability to continue as a going concern at such time.

The Sponsor, Dave or our or their respective directors, officers, advisors or respective affiliates may elect to purchase shares from Public Stockholders prior to the Closing, which may influence the vote on the Business Combination and reduce the public “float” of our VPCC Class A Common Stock.

At any time at or prior to the Business Combination, subject to applicable securities laws (including with respect to material nonpublic information), the Sponsor, the Dave stockholders or our or their respective directors, officers, advisors or respective affiliates may (1) purchase Public Shares from institutional and other investors who vote, or indicate an intention to vote, against any of the proposals to be voted upon at the Special Meeting, or elect to redeem, or indicate an intention to redeem, Public Shares, (2) execute agreements to purchase such shares from such investors in the future, or (3) enter into transactions with such investors and others to provide them with incentives to acquire Public Shares, vote their Public Shares in favor of the proposals to be voted upon at the Special Meeting or not redeem their Public Shares. Such a purchase may include a contractual acknowledgement that such stockholder, although still the record holder of VPCC’s shares, is no longer the beneficial owner thereof and therefore agrees not to exercise its redemption rights. In the event that the Sponsor, the Dave stockholders or our or their respective directors, officers, advisors or respective affiliates purchase shares in privately negotiated transactions from Public Stockholders who have already elected to exercise their redemption rights, such selling stockholder would be required to revoke their prior elections to redeem their shares. The purpose of such share purchases and other transactions would be to (1) increase the likelihood of approving the proposals to be voted upon at the Special Meeting and (2) limit the number of Public Shares electing to redeem, including to satisfy any redemption threshold.

Entering into any such arrangements may have a depressive effect on our common stock (e.g., by giving an investor or holder the ability to effectively purchase shares at a price lower than market, such investor or holder may therefore become more likely to sell the shares he or she owns, either at or prior to the Business Combination). If such transactions are effected, the consequence could be to cause the Business Combination to be consummated in circumstances where such consummation could not otherwise occur. Purchases of shares by the persons described above would allow them to exert more influence over the approval of the Proposals to be presented at the Special Meeting and would likely increase the chances that such Proposals would be approved. In addition, if such purchases are made, the public “float” of our Public Shares and the number of beneficial holders of our securities may be reduced, possibly making it difficult to maintain or obtain the quotation, listing or trading of our securities on a national securities exchange.

We are not registering the shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants or Private Placement Warrants under the Securities Act or any state securities laws at this time, and such registration may not be in place when an investor desires to exercise such warrants, thus precluding such investor from being able to exercise its warrants except on a “cashless basis” and potentially causing such warrants to expire worthless.

We are not registering the shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants or Private Placement Warrants under the Securities Act or any state securities laws at this time. However, under the terms of the warrant agreement, we have agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15 business days after the closing of our initial business combination, we will use our reasonable best efforts to file with the SEC, and within 60 business days following our initial business combination to have declared effective, a registration statement covering the issuance of the shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants and to maintain a current prospectus relating to those shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock until the warrants expire or are redeemed. We cannot assure you that we will be able to do so if, for example, any facts or events arise which represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the

registration statement or prospectus, the financial statements contained or incorporated by reference therein are not current, complete or correct or the SEC issues a stop order. If the shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants are not registered under the Securities Act, we will be required to permit holders to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis. However, no warrant will be exercisable for cash or on a cashless basis, and we will not be obligated to issue any shares to holders seeking to exercise their warrants, unless the issuance of the shares upon such exercise is registered or qualified under the securities laws of the state of the exercising holder or an exemption from registration is available. Notwithstanding the above, if Combined Company Class A Common Stock is at the time of any exercise of a warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that it satisfies the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, we may, at our option, require holders of Public Warrants who exercise their warrants to do so on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event we so elect, we will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, but we will use our best efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available. In no event will we be required to net cash settle any warrant, or issue securities or other compensation in exchange for the warrants in the event that we are unable to register or qualify the shares underlying the warrants under applicable state securities laws and no exemption is available. If the issuance of the shares upon exercise of the warrants is not so registered or qualified or exempt from registration or qualification, the holder of such warrant shall not be entitled to exercise such warrant and such warrant may have no value and may expire worthless. In such event, holders who acquired their warrants as part of a purchase of units will have paid the full Unit purchase price solely for the shares of Class A common stock included in the units. If and when the warrants become redeemable by us, we may exercise our redemption right even if we are unable to register or qualify the underlying shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock for sale under all applicable state securities laws.

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

On April 12, 2021, the Acting Director of the Division of Corporation Finance and Acting Chief Accountant of the SEC together issued a statement regarding the accounting and reporting considerations for warrants issued by special purpose acquisition companies entitled “Staff Statement on Accounting and Reporting Considerations for Warrants Issued by Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (“SPACs”)” (the “SEC Staff Statement”). Specifically, the SEC Staff Statement focused on certain settlement terms and provisions related to certain tender offers following a business combination, which terms are similar to those contained in the warrant agreement governing our warrants. As a result of the SEC Staff Statement, we reevaluated the accounting treatment of our 6,344,150 Public Warrants and 5,100,214 Private Placement Warrants, each as of March 31, 2021, and determined to classify the warrants as derivative liabilities measured at fair value, with changes in fair value each period reported in earnings.

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

We have identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2021. If we are unable to develop and maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results in a timely manner, which may adversely affect investor confidence in us and materially and adversely affect our business and operating results.

Following this issuance of the SEC Staff Statement, after consultation with our independent registered public accounting firm, our management and our audit committee concluded that, in light of the SEC Staff

Statement, it was appropriate to restate our previously issued audited balance sheet as of March 9, 2021 (the “Restatement”). See “—Our warrants are accounted for as liabilities and the changes in value of our warrants could have a material effect on our financial results.” As part of such process, we identified a material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis. Effective internal controls are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and prevent fraud. We continue to evaluate steps to remediate the material weakness. These remediation measures may be time consuming and costly and there is no assurance that these initiatives will ultimately have the intended effects. If we identify any new material weaknesses in the future, any such newly identified material weakness could limit our ability to prevent or detect a misstatement of our accounts or disclosures that could result in a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements. In such case, we may be unable to maintain compliance with securities law requirements regarding timely filing of periodic reports in addition to applicable stock exchange listing requirements, investors may lose confidence in our financial reporting and our stock price may decline as a result. We cannot assure you that the measures we have taken to date, or any measures we may take in the future, will be sufficient to avoid potential future material weaknesses. As of June 30, 2021, this material weakness has not been fully remediated.

We may face litigation and other risks as a result of the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting.

Following the issuance of the SEC Staff Statement, after consultation with our independent registered public accounting firm, our management and our audit committee concluded that it was appropriate to restate our previously issued audited balance sheet as of March 9, 2021. See “—Our warrants are accounted for as liabilities and the changes in value of our warrants could have a material effect on our financial results.” As part of the restatement, we identified a material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting.

As a result of such material weakness, the Restatement, the change in accounting for the warrants, and other matters raised or that may in the future be raised by the SEC, we face potential for litigation or other disputes which may include, among others, claims invoking the federal and state securities laws, contractual claims or other claims arising from the restatement and material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, we have no knowledge of any such litigation or dispute. However, we can provide no assurance that such litigation or dispute will not arise in the future. Any such litigation or dispute, whether successful or not, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition or our ability to complete an initial business combination.

If third parties bring claims against us, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be reduced and the per share redemption amount received by stockholders may be less than $10.00 per share (which was the offering price per Unit in our IPO).

Our placing of funds in the Trust Account may not protect those funds from third-party claims against us. Although we will seek to have all vendors, service providers (other than our independent registered public accounting firm), prospective target businesses or other entities with which we do business execute agreements with us waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account, there is no guarantee that they will execute such agreements or even if they execute such agreements that they would be prevented from bringing claims against the Trust Account, including, but not limited to, fraudulent inducement, breach of fiduciary responsibility or other similar claims, as well as claims challenging the enforceability of the waiver, in each case in order to gain advantage with respect to a claim against our assets, including the funds held in the Trust Account. If any third party refuses to execute an agreement waiving such claims to the monies held in the Trust Account, our management will perform an analysis of the alternatives available to it and will enter into an agreement with a third party that has not executed a waiver only if management believes that such third party’s engagement would be significantly more beneficial to us than any alternative.

Examples of possible instances where we may engage a third party that refuses to execute a waiver include the engagement of a third party consultant whose particular expertise or skills are believed by management to be significantly superior to those of other consultants that would agree to execute a waiver or in cases where we are unable to find a service provider willing to execute a waiver. In addition, there is no guarantee that such entities will agree to waive any claims they may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations, contracts or agreements with us and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account for any reason. Upon redemption of our Public Shares, if we are unable to complete our initial business combination within the prescribed time frame, or upon the exercise of a redemption right in connection with our initial business combination, we will be required to provide for payment of claims of creditors that were not waived that may be brought against us within the 10 years following redemption. Accordingly, the per share redemption amount received by Public Stockholders could be less than the $10.00 per share initially held in the Trust Account, due to claims of such creditors.

The Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to us if and to the extent any claims by a third party (other than our independent registered public accounting firm) for services rendered or products sold to us, or a prospective target business with which we have discussed entering into a Merger Agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below (1) $10.00 per Public Share or (2) 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 the trust assets, in each case net of the interest which may be withdrawn to pay taxes, 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 and except as to any claims under our indemnity of the underwriters of the IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. Moreover, in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third party claims. We have not independently verified whether the Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and we have not asked the Sponsor to reserve for such indemnification obligations. As a result, if any such claims were successfully made against the Trust Account, the funds available for our initial business combination and redemptions could be reduced to less than $10.00 per Public Share. In such event, we may not be able to complete our initial business combination, and you would receive such lesser amount per share in connection with any redemption of your Public Shares. No member of our management team will indemnify us for claims by third parties including, without limitation, claims by vendors and prospective target businesses.

If, after we distribute the proceeds in the Trust Account to our Public Stockholders, we file a bankruptcy petition or an involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, a bankruptcy court may seek to recover such proceeds, and the members of our Board may be viewed as having breached their fiduciary duties to our creditors, thereby exposing the members of our Board and us to claims of punitive damages.

If, after we distribute the proceeds in the Trust Account to our Public Stockholders, we file a bankruptcy petition or an involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, any distributions received by stockholders could be viewed under applicable debtor/creditor and/or bankruptcy laws as either a “preferential transfer” or a “fraudulent conveyance.” As a result, a bankruptcy court could seek to recover some or all amounts received by our stockholders. In addition, our Board may be viewed as having breached its fiduciary duty to our creditors and/or having acted in bad faith by paying Public Stockholders from the Trust Account prior to addressing the claims of creditors, thereby exposing itself and us to claims of punitive damages.

If, before distributing the proceeds in the Trust Account to our Public Stockholders, we file a bankruptcy petition or an involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, the claims of creditors in such proceeding may have priority over the claims of our stockholders and the per-share amount that would otherwise be received by our stockholders in connection with our liquidation may be reduced.

If, before distributing the proceeds in the Trust Account to our Public Stockholders, we file a bankruptcy petition or an involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be subject to applicable bankruptcy law, and may be included in our bankruptcy estate and subject to the claims of third parties with priority over the claims of our stockholders. To the extent any bankruptcy claims deplete the Trust Account, the per-share amount that would otherwise be received by our Public Stockholders in connection with our liquidation would be reduced.

Our stockholders may be held liable for claims by third parties against us to the extent of distributions received by them upon redemption of their shares.

Under the DGCL, stockholders may be held liable for claims by third parties against a corporation to the extent of distributions received by them in a dissolution. The pro rata portion of our Trust Account distributed to our Public Stockholders upon the redemption of our Public Shares in the event we do not complete our initial business combination within the required time period may be considered a liquidating distribution under Delaware law. If a corporation complies with certain procedures set forth in Section 280 of the DGCL intended to ensure that it makes reasonable provision for all claims against it, including a 60-day notice period during which any third-party claims can be brought against the corporation, a 90-day period during which the corporation may reject any claims brought, and an additional 150-day waiting period before any liquidating distributions are made to stockholders, any liability of stockholders with respect to a liquidating distribution is limited to the lesser of such stockholder’s pro rata share of the claim or the amount distributed to the stockholder, and any liability of the stockholder would be barred after the third anniversary of the dissolution. However, it is our intention to redeem our Public Shares as soon as reasonably possible following the required time period in the event we do not complete our initial business combination and, therefore, we do not intend to comply with the foregoing procedures.

Because we do not intend to comply with Section 280 of the DGCL, Section 281(b) of the DGCL requires us to adopt a plan, based on facts known to us at such time that will provide for our payment of all existing and pending claims or claims that may be potentially brought against us within the 10 years following our dissolution. However, because we are a blank check company, rather than an operating company, and our operations are limited to searching for prospective target businesses to acquire, the only likely claims to arise would be from our vendors (such as lawyers, investment bankers, consultants, etc.) or prospective target businesses. If our plan of distribution complies with Section 281(b) of the DGCL, any liability of stockholders with respect to a liquidating distribution is limited to the lesser of such stockholder’s pro rata share of the claim or the amount distributed to the stockholder, and any liability of the stockholder would likely be barred after the third anniversary of the dissolution. We cannot assure you that we will properly assess all claims that may be potentially brought against us. As such, our stockholders could potentially be liable for any claims to the extent of distributions received by them (but no more) and any liability of our stockholders may extend beyond the third anniversary of such date. Furthermore, if the pro rata portion of our Trust Account distributed to our Public Stockholders upon the redemption of our Public Shares in the event we do not complete our initial business combination within the required time period is not considered a liquidating distribution under Delaware law and such redemption distribution is deemed to be unlawful, then pursuant to Section 174 of the DGCL, the statute of limitations for claims of creditors could then be six years after the unlawful redemption distribution, instead of three years, as in the case of a liquidating distribution.

Compliance obligations under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act may make it more difficult for us to effectuate the Business Combination, require substantial financial and management resources and increase the time and costs of completing a business combination.

The fact that we are a blank check company will make compliance with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act particularly burdensome on us as compared to other public companies because Dave is not currently subject to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The standards required for a public company under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act are significantly more stringent than those required of Dave as a privately held company. Management may not be able to effectively and timely implement controls and procedures that adequately respond to the increased regulatory compliance and reporting requirements that will be applicable to us after the Business Combination. If we are not able to implement the requirements of Section 404, including any additional requirements once we are no longer an emerging growth company, in a timely manner or with adequate compliance, we may not be able to assess whether our internal controls over financial reporting are effective, which may subject us to adverse regulatory consequences and could harm investor confidence and the market price of our securities. Additionally, once we are no longer an emerging growth company, we will be required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirement on our internal control over financial reporting.

The obligations associated with being a public company will involve significant expenses and will require significant resources and management attention, which may divert from our business operations.

As a public company, we are subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The Exchange Act requires the filing of annual, quarterly and current reports with respect to a public company’s business and financial condition. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires, among other things, that a public company establish and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting. As a result, the Combined Company will incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses that Dave did not previously incur. Dave’s entire management team and many of its other employees will need to devote substantial time to compliance and may not effectively or efficiently manage its transition into a public company.

These rules and regulations will result in the Combined Company incurring substantial legal and financial compliance costs and will make some activities more time-consuming and costly. For example, these rules and regulations will likely make it more difficult and more expensive for the Combined Company to obtain director and officer liability insurance, and it may be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. As a result, it may be difficult for the Combined Company to attract and retain qualified people to serve on its Board of Directors, its board committees or as executive officers.

VPCC currently is an emerging growth company and a smaller reporting company within the meaning of the Securities Act, and to the extent we have taken advantage of certain exemptions from disclosure requirements available to emerging growth companies or smaller reporting companies, this could make the Combined Company’s securities less attractive to investors and may make it more difficult to compare our performance with other public companies.

VPCC currently is an “emerging growth company” within the meaning of the Securities Act, as modified by the JOBS Act, and we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. As a result, our stockholders may not have access to certain information they may deem important. We cannot predict whether investors will find our securities less attractive because we will rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our securities less attractive as a result of our reliance on these exemptions, the trading prices of our securities may be lower than they otherwise would be, there may be a less active trading market for our securities and the trading prices of our securities may be more volatile.

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. We have 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, we, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of our financial statements with another public company, which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

We will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of: (1) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary of the closing of the IPO, (b) in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.07 billion or (c) in which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of our common equity that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the prior June 30^th; and (2) the date on which we have

issued more than $1.00 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the prior three-year period. The Combined Company will qualify as an emerging growth company as well as a smaller reporting company within the meaning of the Securities Act, and if we take advantage of certain exemptions from disclosure requirements available to emerging growth companies or smaller reporting companies, this could make our securities less attractive to investors and may make it more difficult to compare our performance with other public companies.

Our Public Stockholders will experience dilution as a consequence of, among other transactions, the issuance of Class A common stock as consideration in the Business Combination and the PIPE Investment. Having a minority share position may reduce the influence that our current stockholders have on the management of the Combined Company.

The issuance of a significant number of shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock in the Business Combination and in the PIPE Investment will dilute the equity interest of our existing stockholders and may adversely affect prevailing market prices for our Public Shares and/or Public Warrants.

It is anticipated that, upon the Closing and assuming the no redemption scenario: (1) the Public Stockholders will own approximately 6.5% of the outstanding shares of Combined Company Common Stock; (2) the PIPE Investors will own approximately 5.4% of the outstanding shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock; (3) the Initial Stockholders will own approximately 1.6% of the outstanding shares of Combined Company Common Stock; and (4) the Dave stockholders will own approximately 86.5% of the outstanding shares of Combined Company Common Stock. These levels of ownership assume (a) that no shares are elected to be redeemed in connection with the Business Combination, (b) that we issue 337,653,661 shares of Combined Company Common Stock to the Dave Interest Holders as part of the Merger Consideration in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination. The PIPE Investors have agreed to purchase in the aggregate 21,000,000 shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock for $210,000,000 of gross proceeds in the PIPE Investment. In this proxy statement/prospectus, we assume that a portion of the gross proceeds from the PIPE Investment and funds held in the Trust Account will be used to fund the payment of certain transaction expenses, with the remainder being used to capitalize the balance sheet of the Combined Company. The ownership percentage with respect to the Combined Company (a) does not take into account (1) warrants to purchase VPCC Class A Common Stock that will remain outstanding immediately following the Business Combination, (2) the Rollover Options or Assumed Warrants or (3) the issuance of any shares upon the Closing under the 2021 Plan or Employee Stock Purchase Plan, but does include the Founder Shares (including the Founder Holder Earnout Shares), which will automatically convert into shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock on a one-for-one basis upon the Closing (such shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock will be subject to transfer restrictions). If the actual facts are different from these assumptions, the above levels of ownership will be different. Please see the sections titled “Summary of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus—Ownership after the Closing; Impact of the Business Combination on the Combined Company’s Public Float,” “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information” and “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management” for further information.

The issuance of additional shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock will significantly dilute the equity interests of existing holders of our securities and may adversely affect prevailing market prices for our Public Shares or Public Warrants.

Warrants will become exercisable for Combined Company Class A Common Stock, which would increase the number of shares eligible for future resale in the public market and result in dilution to our stockholders.

If the Business Combination is completed, outstanding warrants to purchase an aggregate of approximately 11,444,364 shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock will become exercisable in accordance with the terms of the warrant agreement. These warrants will become exercisable 30 days after the Closing. The exercise price of these warrants will be $11.50 per share. To the extent such warrants are exercised, additional shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock will be issued, which will result in dilution to the then existing holders of Combined Company Class A Common Stock and increase the number of shares eligible for resale in the public

market. Sales of substantial numbers of such shares in the public market or the fact that such warrants may be exercised could adversely affect the market price of Combined Company Class A Common Stock. However, there is no guarantee that the Public Warrants will ever be in the money prior to their expiration, and as such, the warrants may expire worthless. Even if the Business Combination is consummated, the Public Warrants may never be in the money, and they may expire worthless and the terms of the warrants may be amended in a manner adverse to a holder if holders of at least 50% of the then outstanding Public Warrants approve of such amendment.

Even if the Business Combination is consummated, the Public Warrants may never be in the money, and they may expire worthless and the terms of the warrants may be amended in a manner adverse to a holder if holders of at least 50% of the then outstanding Public Warrants approve of such amendment.

The warrants were issued in registered form under a warrant agreement between Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, acting as warrant agent, and VPCC. The warrant agreement provides that the terms of the warrants may be amended without the consent of any holder to cure any ambiguity or correct any defective provision, but requires the approval by the holders of at least 50% of the then outstanding Public Warrants to make any change that adversely affects the interests of the registered holders of Public Warrants. Accordingly, we may amend the terms of the Public Warrants in a manner adverse to a holder if holders of at least 50% of the then outstanding Public Warrants approve of such amendment. Although our ability to amend the terms of the Public Warrants with the consent of at least 50% of the then outstanding Public Warrants is unlimited, examples of such amendments could be amendments to, among other things, increase the exercise price of the warrants, convert the warrants into cash or stock (at a ratio different than initially provided), shorten the exercise period or decrease the number of shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of a warrant.

We may redeem your unexpired warrants prior to their exercise at a time that is disadvantageous to you, thereby making your warrants worthless.

We have the ability to redeem outstanding warrants at any time after they become exercisable and prior to their expiration, at a price of $0.01 per warrant, provided that the closing price of Combined Company Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for adjustments to the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the exercise price of a warrant) for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading-day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date we send the notice of redemption to the warrant holders. If and when the warrants become redeemable by us, we may exercise our redemption right even if we are unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws. Redemption of the outstanding warrants could force you to: (1) exercise your warrants and pay the exercise price therefor at a time when it may be disadvantageous for you to do so; (2) sell your warrants at the then-current market price when you might otherwise wish to hold your warrants; or (3) accept the nominal redemption price which, at the time the outstanding warrants are called for redemption, we expect would be substantially less than the market value of your warrants.

In addition, we may redeem your warrants at any time and prior to their expiration, at a price of $0.10 per warrant upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption provided that the closing price of the Combined Company Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds $10.00 per share (as adjusted for adjustments to the number of shares issuable upon exercise or the exercise price of a warrant) for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading-day period ending on the third trading day prior to proper notice of such redemption and provided that certain other conditions are met, including that holders will be able to exercise their warrant prior to redemption for a number of shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock determined based on the redemption date and the fair market value of the Combined Company Class A Common Stock. The value received upon exercise of the warrants (i) may be less than the value the holders would have received if they had been able to exercise their warrants at a later time where the underlying share price is higher and (ii) may not compensate the holders for the value of the warrants, including because the number of shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock received is capped at 0.361 shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock per warrant (subject to adjustment) irrespective of the remaining life of the warrants.

None of the warrants underlying the private placement units will be redeemable by us so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees.

Following the Business Combination, the Combined Company will be a holding company and will depend on the ability of its subsidiaries to pay dividends.

The Combined Company will be a holding company without any direct operations and will have no significant assets other than its ownership interest in Dave. Accordingly, its ability to pay dividends will depend upon the financial condition, liquidity and results of operations of, and the Combined Company’s receipt of dividends, loans or other funds from, Dave and its subsidiaries. The Combined Company’s subsidiaries are separate and distinct legal entities and have no obligation to make funds available to the Combined Company. In addition, there are various statutory, regulatory and contractual limitations and business considerations on the extent, if any, to which the Combined Company’s subsidiaries may pay dividends, make loans or otherwise provide funds to the Combined Company.

Risks Related to the Redemption

Public stockholders who wish to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the Trust Account must comply with specific requirements for redemption that may make it more difficult for them to exercise their redemption rights prior to the deadline. If stockholders fail to comply with the redemption requirements specified in this proxy statement/prospectus, they will not be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the funds held in the Trust Account.

A Public Stockholder will be entitled to receive cash for any Public Shares to be redeemed only if such Public Stockholder: (1)(a) holds Public Shares, or (b) holds Public Shares through units, the Public Stockholder elects to separate its units into the underlying Public Shares and warrants prior to exercising its redemption rights with respect to the Public Shares; (2) prior to 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on [●], 2021 (two business days before the scheduled date of the Special Meeting) submits a written request to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, our transfer agent, that we redeem all or a portion of your Public Shares for cash, affirmatively certifying in your request if you “ARE” or “ARE NOT” acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13d-3 of the Exchange Act) with any other stockholder with respect to shares of our common stock; and (3) delivers its Public Shares to our transfer agent physically or electronically through DTC. In order to obtain a physical share certificate, a stockholder’s broker or clearing broker, DTC and our transfer agent will need to act to facilitate this request. It is our understanding that stockholders should generally allot at least two weeks to obtain physical certificates from our transfer agent. However, because we do not have any control over this process or over DTC, it may take significantly longer than two weeks to obtain a physical stock certificate. If it takes longer than anticipated to obtain a physical certificate, Public Stockholders who wish to redeem their Public Shares may be unable to obtain physical certificates by the deadline for exercising their redemption rights and thus will be unable to redeem their shares.

If a Public Stockholder fails to receive notice of our offer to redeem Public Shares in connection with the Business Combination, or fails to comply with the procedures for tendering its shares, such shares may not be redeemed.

If, despite our compliance with the proxy rules, a Public Stockholder fails to receive our proxy materials, such Public Stockholder may not become aware of the opportunity to redeem his, her or its Public Shares. In addition, the proxy materials that we are furnishing to holders of Public Shares in connection with the Business Combination describe the various procedures that must be complied with in order to validly redeem the Public Shares. In the event that a Public Stockholder fails to comply with these procedures, its Public Shares may not be redeemed. Please see the section titled “VPCC Special Meeting of Stockholders—Redemption Rights” for additional information on how to exercise your redemption rights.

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

A Public Stockholder, together with any of his, her or its affiliates or any other person with whom it is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from redeeming in the aggregate his, her or its shares or, if part of such a group, the group’s shares, in excess of 15% of the Public Shares. In order to determine whether a stockholder is acting in concert or as a group with another stockholder, we will require each Public Stockholder seeking to exercise redemption rights to certify to us whether such stockholder is acting in concert or as a group with any other stockholder. Such certifications, together with other public information relating to stock ownership available to us at that time, such as Section 13D, Section 13G and Section 16 filings under the Exchange Act, will be the sole basis on which we make the above-referenced determination. Your inability to redeem any such excess shares will reduce your influence over our ability to consummate the Business Combination and you could suffer a material loss on your investment in us if you sell such excess shares in open market transactions. Additionally, you will not receive redemption distributions with respect to such excess shares if we consummate the Business Combination. As a result, you will continue to hold that number of shares aggregating to more than 15% of the Public Shares and, in order to dispose of such excess shares, would be required to sell your stock in open market transactions, potentially at a loss. We cannot assure you that the value of such excess shares will appreciate over time following the Business Combination or that the market price of the Public Shares will exceed the per-share redemption price. Notwithstanding the foregoing, stockholders may challenge our determination as to whether a stockholder is acting in concert or as a group with another stockholder in a court of competent jurisdiction.

However, our stockholders’ ability to vote all of their shares (including such excess shares) for or against the Business Combination is not restricted by this limitation on redemption.

There is no guarantee that a stockholder’s decision whether to redeem its shares for a pro rata portion of the Trust Account will put the stockholder in a better future economic position.

We can give no assurance as to the price at which a stockholder may be able to sell its Public Shares in the future following the Closing or any alternative business combination. Certain events following the consummation of any initial business combination, including the Business Combination, may cause an increase in our share price, and may result in a lower value realized now than a stockholder of us might realize in the future had the stockholder not redeemed its shares. Similarly, if a stockholder does not redeem its shares, the stockholder will bear the risk of ownership of the Public Shares after the consummation of any initial business combination, and there can be no assurance that a stockholder can sell its shares in the future for a greater amount than the redemption price set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus. A stockholder should consult the stockholder’s own tax and/or financial advisor for assistance on how this may affect his, her or its individual situation.

Risks if the Business Combination is Not Consummated

If we are not able to complete the Business Combination with Dave by March 9, 2023 (or if such date is extended at a duly called meeting of stockholders, such later date), we would cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up and we would redeem our Public Shares and liquidate, in which case our Public Stockholders may receive only $10.00 per share, or less than such amount in certain circumstances, and our warrants will expire worthless.

If we are not able to complete the Business Combination with Dave by March 9, 2023 (or if such date is extended at a duly called meeting of stockholders, such later date) nor able to complete another initial business combination by such date, we will: (1) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (2) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than 10 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); and

(3) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining stockholders and the VPCC Board, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to our obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. In such case, our Public Stockholders may receive only $10.00 per share, or less than $10.00 per share, on the redemption of their shares, and our warrants will expire worthless.

If the Business Combination is not consummated, you will not have any rights or interests in funds from the Trust Account, except under certain limited circumstances. To liquidate your investment, therefore, you may be forced to sell your Public Shares or Public Warrants, potentially at a loss.

Our Public Stockholders will be entitled to receive funds from the Trust Account only upon the earlier to occur of: (1) the completion of our initial business combination, and then only in connection with those shares of Class A common stock that such stockholder properly elected to redeem, subject to the limitations described herein; (2) the redemption of any Public Shares properly tendered in connection with a stockholder vote to amend our amended and restated certificate of incorporation to modify the substance or timing of our obligation to redeem 100% of our Public Shares if we do not complete our initial business combination within the required time period; and (3) the redemption of all of our Public Shares if we are unable to complete our initial business combination by March 9, 2023 (or if such date is extended at a duly called meeting of stockholders, such later date), subject to applicable law and as further described herein. In addition, if we are unable to complete an initial business combination within the required time period for any reason, compliance with Delaware law may require that we submit a plan of dissolution to our then-existing stockholders for approval prior to the distribution of the proceeds held in our Trust Account. In that case, Public Stockholders may be forced to wait beyond the end of the required time period before they receive funds from our Trust Account. In no other circumstances will a Public Stockholder have any right or interest of any kind in the Trust Account. Holders of warrants will not have any right to the proceeds held in the Trust Account with respect to the warrants. Accordingly, to liquidate your investment, you may be forced to sell your Public Shares or Public Warrants, potentially at a loss.

If the funds not being held in the Trust Account are insufficient to allow us to operate until at least March 9, 2023 (or if such date is extended at a duly called meeting of our stockholders, such later date), we may be unable to complete our initial business combination.

The funds available to us outside of the Trust Account may not be sufficient to allow us to operate until March 9, 2023 (or if such date is extended at a duly called meeting of our stockholders, such later date), assuming that our initial business combination is not completed during that time. We expect to incur significant costs in pursuit of our acquisition plans. If we are required to seek additional capital we would need to borrow funds from our Sponsor, management team or other third parties to operate or may be forced to liquidate. However, neither our Sponsor, members of our management team nor any of their affiliates is under any obligation to advance funds to us in such circumstances. Any such event in the future may negatively impact the analysis regarding our ability to continue as a going concern at such time.

We could use a portion of the funds available to us to pay fees to consultants to assist us with our search for a target business. We could also use a portion of the funds as a down payment or to fund a “no-shop” provision (a provision in letters of intent or merger agreements designed to keep target businesses from “shopping” around for transactions with other companies or investors on terms more favorable to such target businesses) with respect to a particular proposed business combination, although we do not have any current intention to do so. If we entered into a letter of intent or merger agreement where we paid for the right to receive exclusivity from a target business and were subsequently required to forfeit such funds (whether as a result of our breach or otherwise), we might not have sufficient funds to continue searching for, or conduct due diligence with respect to, a target business. If we are unable to complete our initial business combination, our Public Stockholders may receive only approximately $10.00 per share, or less in certain circumstances, on the liquidation of our Trust Account and our warrants will expire worthless. If third parties bring claims against us, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be reduced and the per share redemption amount received by stockholders may be less than $10.00 per share (which was the offering price per Unit in our IPO).

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

VPCC is providing the following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information to aid you in your analysis of the financial aspects of the Business Combination and related transactions. The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information presents the combination of the financial information of VPCC and Dave adjusted to give effect to the Business Combination and related Transactions.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X as amended by the final rule, Release No. 33-10786 “Amendments to Financial Disclosures about Acquired and Disposed Businesses.” Release No. 33-10786 replaces the existing pro forma adjustment criteria with simplified requirements to depict the accounting for the transaction (“Transaction Accounting Adjustments”) and the option to present the reasonably estimable synergies and other transaction effects that have occurred or are reasonably expected to occur (“Management’s Adjustments”). VPCC has elected not to present Management’s Adjustments and has only presented Transaction Accounting Adjustments in the following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. Defined terms included below have the same meaning as terms defined and included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

2020 and for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, included elsewhere in this proxy statement/ prospectus. This information should be read together with VPCC’s and Dave’s unaudited condensed financial statements and audited financial statements and related notes, the sections titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of VPCC,” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of Dave” and other financial information included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus, as well as the risk factors set forth under the section titled “Risk Factors” beginning on page 42 of this proxy statement/prospectus.

The Business Combination will be accounted for as a reverse recapitalization, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded, in accordance with GAAP. Under this method of accounting, VPCC will be treated as the “accounting acquiree” and Dave as the “accounting acquirer” for financial reporting purposes. Dave was determined to be the accounting acquirer primarily based on evaluation of the following facts and circumstances that are expected to be in place when the closing of the Business Combination becomes effective:

•

Existing Dave Stockholders will collectively own a majority of the outstanding shares of the Combined Company immediately following the Closing (86.5% in no redemption scenario and 92.9% in maximum redemption scenario) and hold a majority of the voting power immediately following the Closing (94.9% in no redemption scenario and 97.5% in maximum redemption scenario) including the repurchase of certain shares of Combined Company Class A and Class V Common stock held by Selling Holders pursuant to the Repurchase Agreement;

•

by virtue of such estimated voting interest upon the Closing, existing Dave Stockholders will have the ability to control decisions regarding the election and removal of directors and officers of the Combined Company following the Closing;

•

Dave’s senior management will be the senior management of the Combined Company.

Additionally, Dave’s business will comprise the ongoing operations of the combined company immediately following the consummation of the Business Combination. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Business Combination will be treated as the equivalent of Dave issuing shares for the net assets of VPCC, followed by a recapitalization. Accordingly, the consolidated assets, liabilities, and results of operations of Dave will become

the historical financial statements of the Combined Company, and VPCC’s assets, liabilities and results of operations will be consolidated with Dave beginning on the Closing Date.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2021 assumes that the Business Combination and related Transactions occurred on June 30, 2021. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and for the year ended December 31, 2020 gives pro forma effect to the Business Combination and related Transactions as if they had occurred on January 1, 2020. Dave and VPCC have not had any historical relationship prior to the Business Combination. Affiliates of VPCC are lenders to Dave, however, there is no effect on the pro forma adjustments. Accordingly, no pro forma adjustments were required to eliminate activities between the companies.

These unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are for informational purposes only. They do not purport to indicate the results that would have been obtained had the Business Combination and related Transactions actually been completed on the assumed date or for the periods presented, or which may be realized in the future. The pro forma adjustments are based on the information currently available and the assumptions and estimates underlying the pro forma adjustments are described in the accompanying notes. Actual results may differ materially from the assumptions within the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. The Combined Company will incur additional costs after the Business Combination in order to satisfy its obligations as an SEC-reporting public company.

The Business Combination and Related Transactions

The aggregate merger consideration for the Business Combination will be $3.5 billion, payable in the form of shares of VPCC Common Stock valued at $10.00 per share. As part of the recapitalization, there are 951,622 Founder Holder Contingent Closing Shares and 1,586,037 forfeitable Founder Holder Earnout Shares which are subject to certain market vesting conditions in two tranches. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements do not reflect pro forma adjustments related to the recognition of the Founder Holder Earnout Shares because there is no net impact on stockholders’ equity on a pro forma combined basis.

The number of Founder Holder Contingent Closing Shares that may be forfeited as part of the Business Combination is dependent on redemptions of the VPCC Class A Common Stock as follows:

•

No Founder Holder Contingent Closing Shares forfeited: The aggregate number of shares of VPCC Class A Common Stock redeemed by the VPCC Stockholders in connection with the VPCC Stockholder Redemptions, minus the aggregate number of shares of VPCC Class A Common Stock purchased in any Redemption Alternative Financing, as defined in the Founder Holder Agreement included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus, (such positive difference in shares, the “Net Redemption Shares”), is such that the percentage of Public Shares that are Net Redemption Shares (the “Net Redemption Percentage”) is less than 21% (the “Redemption Threshold Percentage”), then none of the Founder Holder Contingent Closing Shares shall be forfeited and the Founder Holder Contingent Closing Shares shall no longer be subject to forfeiture pursuant to the Founder Holder Agreement;

•

Pro rata basis Founder Holder Contingent Closing Shares forfeited: If the Net Redemption Percentage equals or exceeds the Redemption Threshold Percentage, but the Net Redemption Percentage is less than or equal to 35%, then a number of Founder Holder Contingent Closing Shares equal to the product of (x) the Per Percent Forfeiture Amount, as defined in the Founder Holder Agreement included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus, multiplied by (y) the Excess Forfeiture Percentage Amount, as defined in the Founder Holder Agreement included elsewhere in this proxy statement/ prospectus, shall be automatically forfeited by the Founder Holders (on a pro rata basis in accordance with the Founder Holder Agreement) and cancelled for no consideration, and any Founder Holder Contingent Closing Shares not forfeited and will no longer be subject to forfeiture pursuant to the Founder Holder Agreement; and

•

All Founder Holder Contingent Closing Shares forfeited: if the Net Redemption Percentage equals or exceeds 35%, then 100% of the Founder Holder Contingent Closing Shares shall be automatically forfeited by the Founder Holders and cancelled for no consideration.

The Founder Holder Earnout Shares are triggered by the below events beginning on the Closing Date and ending on and including the date of the five (5) year anniversary of the Closing:

•

Sixty percent (60%) of the Founder Holder Earnout Shares (951,622 Founder Holder Earnout Shares) shall immediately become fully vested and no longer subject to forfeiture upon the occurrence of Triggering Event I, which is defined as the first date on which the Common Share Price is equal to or greater than twelve dollars and fifty cents ($12.50) after the Closing Date, but within the Earnout Period (as defined in the Merger Agreement); provided, that

(i)

in the event of a change of control pursuant to which VPCC Stockholders receive, or have the right to receive, cash, securities or other property attributing a value of at least twelve dollars and fifty cents ($12.50) to each share of VPCC Class A Common Stock (as agreed in good faith by Sponsor and the VPCC Board), then Triggering Event I shall be deemed to have occurred and;

(ii)

in the event that, and as often as, the number of outstanding shares of VPCC Class A Common Stock is changed by reason of any dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split, combination, exchange or any similar event, then the applicable Common Share Price (as defined in the Merger Agreement) threshold (i.e., twelve dollars and fifty cents ($12.50)) will, for all purposes of the Merger Agreement (and the Founder Holder Agreement), in each case be equitably adjusted to reflect such change; and

•

The remaining Founder Holder Earnout Shares (634,415 Founder Holder Earnout Shares) shall immediately become fully vested and no longer subject to forfeiture upon the occurrence of Triggering Event II, which is defined as the first date on which the Common Share Price is equal to or greater than fifteen dollars ($15.00) after the Closing Date, but within the Earnout Period; provided, that

(i)

in the event of a change of control pursuant to which VPCC Stockholders receive, or have the right to receive, cash, securities or other property attributing a value of at least fifteen dollars ($15.00) to each share of VPCC Class A Common Stock (as agreed in good faith by Sponsor and the VPCC Board), then Triggering Event II shall be deemed to have occurred and;

(ii)

in the event that, and as often as, the number of outstanding shares of VPCC Class A Common Stock is changed by reason of any dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split, combination, exchange or any similar event, then the applicable Common Share Price threshold (i.e., fifteen dollars ($15.00)) will, for all purposes of the Merger Agreement (and the Founder Holder Agreement), in each case be equitably adjusted to reflect such change.

The Founder Holder Earnout Shares will be recognized at fair value upon the closing of the Business Combination and classified in stockholders’ equity. Because the Business Combination is accounted for as a reverse recapitalization, the issuance of the Founder Holder Earnout Shares will be treated as a deemed dividend and since Dave does not have retained earnings, the issuance will be recorded within additional- paid-in-capital (“APIC”) and have a net nil impact on APIC. Dave determined the fair value of the Founder Holder Earnout Shares to be approximately $12.1 million based on a valuation using a Monte Carlo simulation with key inputs and assumptions such as stock price, term, dividend yield, risk-free rate, and volatility. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements do not reflect pro forma adjustments related to the recognition of the Founder Holder Earnout Shares because there is no net impact on stockholders’ equity on a pro forma combined basis.

Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, VPCC, Dave and Selling Holders entered into the Repurchase Agreement, pursuant to which, among other things, VPCC has agreed to repurchase a certain number of shares of Combined Common Stock from the Selling Holders (including shares of Combined Company Class V Common Stock issued to Mr. Wilk in connection with the Transactions), at a purchase price of $10.00 per share, on the business day immediately following the effective time of the Second Merger. The Repurchase is contingent on the amount of VPCC Available Cash being in excess of $300 million. If VPCC Available Cash exceeds

$300 million, the number of shares of Combined Company Common Stock subject to the Repurchase will be equal to Aggregate Repurchase Price, divided by $10.00 (provided that in no event will the Aggregate Repurchase Price exceed $60 million). 80% of the number of shares of Combined Company Common Stock subject to the Repurchase will be allocated to Mr. Wilk, with Mr. Beilman allocated the remaining 20%. Mr. Wilk is one of Dave’s current directors and is the Chief Executive Officer of Dave, and, as mentioned above, Mr. Beilman is the Chief Financial Officer of Dave. The Transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the Mergers, will constitute a Business Combination as contemplated by VPCC’s Existing Charter. The Merger shall be consummated in accordance with the Merger Agreement and Delaware General Corporation Law.

On March 3, 2021, Dave issued 8,458,481 stock options to Mr. Wilk. The stock options vest in seven tranches, each of which are vested by satisfying all three vesting conditions: (i) the occurrence of a Liquidity Event, which is defined as the first of (a) the shares of Dave becoming publicly traded on an internationally recognized stock exchange, which includes a merger resulting in the common stock of the surviving company registered under the Exchange Act or publicly traded on an internationally-recognized stock exchange or (b) a Corporate Transaction which is defined as a change in control, reorganization, merger or transfer of all Dave’s assets, (ii) the achievement of a specific stock price milestone and (iii) subject to the continuous employment by Mr. Wilk. The first tranche is one-third and the remaining six tranches are one-twelfth of the 8,458,481 shares. The CEO stock options fair value on the grant date was approximately $10.5 million. Upon the closing of the Business Combination, the Combined Company will recognize a cumulative charge to compensation expense and recognize the remaining compensation cost over the derived service period.

The pro forma adjustments giving effect to the Business Combination and related Transactions are summarized below, and are discussed further in the footnotes to these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements:

•

the First Merger;

•

immediately following the consummation of the First Merger, the Second Merger;

•

the consummation of the Business Combination and reclassification of cash held in VPCC’s trust account to cash and cash equivalents, net of redemptions (see below);

•

the consummation of the PIPE Investment;

•

the conversion of certain Dave liabilities to equity;

•

the conversion of the Series A, Series B-1 and Series B-2 Convertible Preferred Shares (“Dave Preferred Stock”) to permanent equity;

•

the exercise of the Dave warrants issued in connection with the Senior Secured Debt Facility;

•

the accounting for transaction costs incurred by both VPCC and Dave;

•

the exercise of the Dave call options and derecognition of the related loans, related accrued interest receivable and derivative asset to stockholders;

•

on the business day immediately following the Second Merger, the repurchase of certain shares of Combined Company Class A and Class V Common Stock held by Selling Holders pursuant to the Repurchase Agreement; and

•

the accounting for Mr. Wilk’s stock options which include vesting terms satisfied by the Business Combination.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared using the assumptions below with respect to the VPCC Share Redemptions:

•

No Redemption Scenario: This scenario assumes that no Public Stockholders exercise redemption rights with respect to their Public Shares for a pro rata share of the funds in the Trust Account.

•

Maximum Redemption Scenario: This scenario assumes that 25,376,598 of the Public Shares are redeemed for an aggregate payment of approximately $253.8 million (based on the estimated per share

redemption price of approximately $10.00 per Public Share based on the as-adjusted Trust Account as of June 30, 2021). Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, Dave is not required to consummate the Transactions if immediately prior to the consummation of the Transactions, VPCC does not have at least $210.0 million of cash available to be released from the Trust Account and/or received by VPCC under the Subscription Agreements prior to the payment or reimbursement of any transaction costs or any amounts used to repay indebtedness for Dave or VPCC. This scenario also assumes that holders of the maximum number of Public Shares that can be redeemed for cash will exercise their right to have their Public Shares redeemed for cash, with VPCC still having at least $5,000,001 of net tangible assets, after deducting all amounts to be paid pursuant to the exercise of redemption rights, as required to consummate the Business Combination. Additionally, the Founder Shares are subject to forfeiture dependent on the number of redemptions. All Founder Holder Contingent Shares are forfeited in the maximum redemption scenario.

The existing Dave Stockholders will hold 343,653,661 of the Combined Company Common Stock immediately after the Business Combination, which approximates an 86.7% ownership level assuming the no redemption scenario, and excluding the repurchase of certain shares of Combined Company Class A and Class V Common stock held by Selling Holders pursuant to the Repurchase Agreement, and a 92.9% ownership level assuming the maximum redemption scenario. The following summarizes the pro forma common shares outstanding under the two scenarios including the repurchase of certain shares of Combined Company Class A and Class V Common stock held by Selling Holders pursuant to the Repurchase Agreement (excluding the potential dilutive effect of Dave Options, VPCC Warrants and the Founder Holder Earnout Shares as further described in Note 4):

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

(in thousands, except share and per share data)

NOTE 1—BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The Business Combination will be accounted for as a reverse recapitalization, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded, in accordance with GAAP. Under this method of accounting, VPCC will be treated as the “accounting acquiree” and Dave as the “accounting acquirer” for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Business Combination will be treated as the equivalent of Dave issuing shares for the net assets of VPCC, followed by a recapitalization. The net assets of VPCC will be stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Operations prior to the Business Combination will be those of Dave.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2021 assumes that the Business Combination and related Transactions occurred on June 30, 2021. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and for the year ended December 31, 2020 gives pro forma effect to the Business Combination as if it had been completed on January 1, 2020. These periods are presented on the basis that Dave is the acquirer for accounting purposes.

The pro forma adjustments reflecting the consummation of the Business Combination and related Transactions are based on certain currently available information and certain assumptions and methodologies that VPCC believes are reasonable under the circumstances. The unaudited condensed pro forma adjustments, which are described in the accompanying notes, may be revised as additional information becomes available and is evaluated. Therefore, it is likely that the actual adjustments will differ from the pro forma adjustments and it is possible the difference may be material. VPCC believes that its assumptions and methodologies provide a reasonable basis for presenting all of the significant effects of the Business Combination and related Transactions based on information available to management at the time and that the pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to those assumptions and are properly applied in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not give effect to any anticipated synergies, operating efficiencies, tax savings, or cost savings that may be associated with the Business Combination. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is not necessarily indicative of what the actual results of operations and financial position would have been had the Business Combination and related Transactions taken place on the dates indicated, nor are they indicative of the future consolidated results of operations or financial position of the Combined Company. They should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements and notes thereto of VPCC and Dave.

NOTE 2—ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND RECLASSIFICATIONS

Upon consummation of the Business Combination, management will perform a comprehensive review of the two entities’ accounting policies. As a result of the review, management may identify differences between the accounting policies of the two entities which, when conformed, could have a material impact on the financial statements of the Combined Company. Based on its initial analysis, management did not identify any differences that would have a material impact on the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. As a result, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not assume any differences in accounting policies.

As part of the preparation of these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements, certain reclassifications were made to align VPCC’s financial statement presentation with that of Dave.

NOTE 3—ADJUSTMENTS TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared to illustrate the effect of the Business Combination and related Transactions and has been prepared for informational purposes only.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X as amended by the final rule, Release No. 33-10786 “Amendments to Financial Disclosures about Acquired and Disposed Businesses.” Release No. 33-10786 replaces the existing pro forma adjustment criteria with simplified requirements to depict the accounting for the transaction (“Transaction Accounting Adjustments”) and present the reasonably estimable synergies and other transaction effects that have occurred or are reasonably expected to occur (“Management’s Adjustments”). VPCC has elected not to present Management’s Adjustments and will only be presenting Transaction Accounting Adjustments in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. Dave and VPCC have not had any historical relationship prior to the Business Combination. Affiliates of VPCC are lenders to Dave, however, there is no effect on the pro forma adjustments. Accordingly, no pro forma adjustments were required to eliminate activities between the companies.

The pro forma combined provision for income taxes does not necessarily reflect the amounts that would have resulted had the Combined Company filed consolidated income tax returns during the periods presented. VPCC has not reflected the income tax benefit in the pro forma statement of operations, as VPCC does not believe that the income tax benefit is realizable and records a full valuation allowance against all deferred tax assets.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements do not reflect pro forma adjustments related to the recognition of the Founder Holder Earnout Shares because there is no net impact on stockholders’ equity on a pro forma combined basis.

The pro forma basic and diluted earnings per share amounts presented in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations are based upon the number of Dave’s shares outstanding, assuming the Business Combination and related Transactions occurred on January 1, 2020.

Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet

The adjustments included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2021 are as follows:

(A)	Reflects the reclassification of $253.8 million held in the Trust Account to cash and cash equivalents.

(B)	Reflects the reduction in cash and VPCC’s APIC in the amount of $253.8 million related to the maximum redemption scenario.

(C)	Reflects the reclassification of VPCC’s Common Stock subject to possible redemption into permanent equity.

(D)

Reflects cash proceeds from the concurrent PIPE Investment in the amount of $210.0 million and corresponding offset to APIC, inclusive of the $15 million PIPE prefunding. The prefunding promissory note issued in August 2021 for cash is discharged with the issuance of 1.5 million shares at the closing of the Business Combination.

(E)

Reflects the conversion of approximately $0.7 million of Dave convertible notes and approximately $0.02 of accrued interest into fully vested shares of VPCC Common Stock. Using an estimated exchange ratio of 1.360523, the $0.72 million of Dave liabilities will convert into approximately 224,537 shares of Combined Company Common Stock upon the consummation of the Business Combination.

(F)	Reflects the conversion of the Dave Preferred Stock into Dave Common Stock in accordance with the Merger Agreement.

101

(G)	Reflects the elimination of VPCC’s retained earnings and Dave’s par value of common shares upon consummation of the Business Combination.

(H)

Reflects an adjustment of approximately $35.8 million to reduce cash and approximately $1.9 million to reduced deferred offering costs for transaction costs expected to be incurred by VPCC and Dave in relation to the Business Combination and PIPE Investment, including advisory, banking, printing, legal and accounting services. As part of the Business Combination, approximately $11.7 million was expensed and recorded in accumulated deficit, and the remaining approximately $24.1 million was determined to be equity issuance costs and offset to additional-paid-in-capital.

(I)	Reflects the payment of approximately $0.005 million of offering costs accrued on VPCC’s June 30, 2021 balance sheet.

(J)

Reflects compensation expense of approximately $1.5 million recorded in additional-paid-in-capital and offset to accumulated deficit, related to Mr. Wilk’s stock options expected to vest upon closing of the Business Combination. The value of the stock options was estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation. This model requires the input of certain assumptions, including the risk-free interest rate, volatility, dividend yield and expected life. The options were granted in nine tranches each of which contain service, market and performance conditions. Vesting commences on the grant date, however, no compensation charges are recognized until the performance condition is probable upon the completion of the Business Combination. On the date of the Business Combination, there is a cumulative expense for the amount vested between the grant date and the date of the Business Combination. The cumulative stock-based compensation expense as of the date of the Business Combination was $1.5 million. See Note ([EE]) for further details.

(K)

Reflects the exercise of Dave call options in exchange for the forgiveness of the related loans to stockholders of approximately $14.4 million and related accrued interest receivable of $0.5 million. Dave reclassified the loan and derivative asset of approximately $24.5 million to APIC. See Note ([FF]) for further details.

(L)

Reflects a pro forma adjustment for the repurchase of 6,000,000 Combined Company common stock per the terms of the Repurchase Agreement at a net price of $10 per share for a total repayment of $60.0 million as a reduction of APIC offset by an increase of accrued expenses. This pro forma adjustment is only applicable for the No Redemption Scenario as under the terms of the Repurchase Agreement no repurchase would be required in the Maximum Redemption Scenario.

(M)

Reflects the exercise of 1,670,667 Dave warrants issued in connection with the Senior Secured Debt Facility into 332,572 shares of Dave common stock immediately prior to the Business Combination. Using an estimated exchange ratio of 1.360523, the shares will convert into approximately 452,471 VPCC shares on a post-combination basis. The cashless exercise was treated as a reclassification of the warrant liability of approximately $3.0 million to APIC.

Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statement of Operations

The pro forma adjustments included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and the year ended December 31, 2020 are as follows:

(AA)	Elimination of interest income and unrealized gain on the Trust Account.

(BB)	Elimination of interest expense of $0.006 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and $0.02 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 related to Dave convertible debt that will convert to Combined Company Common Stock upon the closing of the Business Combination.

(CC)	Reflects the estimated transaction costs of $11.7 million as if incurred on January 1, 2020, the date the Business Combination occurred for the purposes of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations. This is a non-recurring item.

(DD)	The net effect of all adjustments impacting the pro forma statement of operations results in a reduction of the income tax benefit of approximately $4.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and

102

approximately $3.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 based on the application of the blended statutory tax rate of 21%. However, VPCC has not reflected the income tax benefit in the pro forma statement of operations, as VPCC does not believe that the income tax benefit is realizable and records a full valuation allowance against all deferred tax assets.

(EE)

Reflects estimated compensation expense related to Mr. Wilk’s stock options. The value of the stock options was estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation. This model requires the input of certain assumptions, including the risk-free interest rate, volatility, dividend yield and expected life. The options were granted in nine tranches each of which contain service, market and performance conditions. Vesting commences on the grant date, however, no compensation charges are recognized until the performance condition is probable upon the completion of the Business Combination. On the date of the Business Combination, there is a cumulative expense for the amount vested between the grant date and the date of the Business Combination. Stock-based compensation expense for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was approximately $1.2 million and approximately $3.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, inclusive of a cumulative expense of approximately $1.5 million. The cumulative expense recognized is a non-recurring item. See NOTE ([J]) for further details. This is a non-recurring item.

(FF)	Reflects the elimination of historical changes in fair value of the call option of approximately $24.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and nil for the year ended December 31, 2020. This is a non-recurring item.

(GG)	Elimination of interest income from the loans to stockholders related to the call option of $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and approximately $0.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2020.

(HH)

Reflects the elimination of historical changes in fair value of the Dave warrant of approximately $2.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and nil for the year ended December 31, 2020 upon exercise of the warrant immediately prior to the closing of the Business Combination. This is a non-recurring item.

NOTE 4—EARNINGS PER SHARE

Represents the net earnings per share calculated under the two-class method using the historical weighted average outstanding shares and the issuance of additional shares in connection with the Business Combination and PIPE Investment, assuming the shares were outstanding since January 1, 2020. VPCC used the two-class method to compute net income per common share, because it had issued multiple classes of common stock. The two-class method requires earnings for the period to be allocated between multiple classes of common stock based upon their respective rights to receive distributed and undistributed earnings. As the Business Combination and PIPE Investment are being reflected as if they had occurred at the beginning of the period presented, the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding for basic and diluted net loss per share assumes that the shares issuable relating to the Business Combination and PIPE Investment have been outstanding for the entire period presented. If the maximum number of shares are redeemed, this calculation is retroactively adjusted to eliminate such shares for the entire period.

VPCC currently has 6,344,150 Public Warrants and 5,100,214 Private Warrants outstanding as of June 30, 2021. Each VPCC Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock at $11.50 per one share. These VPCC Warrants are not exercisable until (i) 30 days after the closing of the Business Combination or (ii) 12 months from the closing of the IPO. As the Combined Company is in a loss position in 2021, any shares issued upon exercise of these VPCC Warrants would have an anti-dilutive effect on earnings per share and, therefore, have not been considered in the calculation of pro forma net loss per common share.

Dave currently has Dave Warrants outstanding as of June 30, 2021. The Dave Warrants are exercisable for a variable number of shares determined by a fixed percentage of the outstanding equity upon achievement of specified thresholds of the aggregate amount of delayed draw term loans funded by the lenders. Each Dave Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Dave Common Stock at a variable price per share. The anticipated 1,670,667 Dave Warrants will be share settled immediately prior to Closing and are reflected in the table above. See Note ([M]) above for further details.

Dave currently anticipates 33,410,335 Dave Options outstanding immediately after the Business Combination. As the Combined Company is in a loss position in 2021, any shares issued upon exercise of these Dave Options would have an anti-dilutive effect on earnings per share and, therefore, have not been considered in the calculation of pro forma net loss per common share.

105

COMPARATIVE SHARE INFORMATION

The following tables present VPCC and Dave’s historical and pro forma per share data as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020. The pro forma net loss per common share data for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and for the year ended December 31, 2020 is presented as if the merger had been completed on January 1, 2020. The pro forma book value per share information is presented as if the merger had been completed on June 30, 2021. The information provided in the table below is unaudited.

The historical financial information of VPCC was derived from the unaudited condensed financial statements of VPCC as of June 30, 2021 and the period from January 14, 2021 (Inception) through June 30, 2021, included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. The historical financial information of Dave was derived from the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Dave as of June 30, 2021 and for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, and from the audited consolidated financial statements of Dave as of December 31, 2020 and for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, included elsewhere in this proxy statement/ prospectus. This information should be read together with VPCC’s and Dave’s audited financial statements and related notes, the section titled “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information” and other financial information included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

The Summary Pro Forma Information has been prepared using the assumptions below with respect to the potential redemption into cash of VPCC’s common stock:

•

Assuming No Redemptions: This scenario assumes that no public stockholders of VPCC exercise redemption rights with respect to their public shares for a pro rata share of the funds in VPCC’s trust account.

•

Maximum Redemption Scenario: This scenario assumes that 25,376,598 of the Public Shares are redeemed for an aggregate payment of approximately $253.8 million (based on the estimated per share redemption price of approximately $10.00 per Public Share based on the as-adjusted Trust Account as of June 30, 2021). Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, Dave is not required to consummate the Transactions if immediately prior to the consummation of the Transactions, VPCC does not have at least $210.0 million of cash available to be released from the Trust Account and/or received by VPCC under the Subscription Agreements prior to the payment or reimbursement of any transaction costs or any amounts used to repay indebtedness for Dave or VPCC. This scenario also assumes that holders of the maximum number of Public Shares that can be redeemed for cash will exercise their right to have their Public Shares redeemed for cash, with VPCC still having at least $5,000,001 of net tangible assets, after deducting all amounts to be paid pursuant to the exercise of redemption rights, as required to consummate the Business Combination. Additionally, the Founder Shares are subject to forfeiture dependent on the number of redemptions. All Founder Holder Contingent Shares are forfeited in the maximum redemption scenario.

106

The pro forma data is presented for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations or the financial condition that would have occurred if the merger had been completed as of the dates described above.

VPCC SPECIAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

General

VPCC is furnishing this proxy statement/prospectus to its stockholders as part of the solicitation of proxies by the VPCC Board for use at the Special Meeting of VPCC Stockholders to be held on [●], 2021, and at any adjournment or postponement thereof. This proxy statement/prospectus is first being furnished to the VPCC Stockholders on or about [●], 2021. This proxy statement/prospectus provides you with information you need to know to be able to vote or instruct your vote to be cast at the Special Meeting.

Date, Time and Place

The Special Meeting will be held at [●], Eastern Time, on [●], 2021, or such other date and time to which such meeting may be adjourned or postponed, to consider and vote upon the Proposals. In light of the ongoing developments related to the COVID-19 pandemic and to protect the health of VPCC Stockholders and the community, the Special Meeting will be a completely virtual meeting of stockholders conducted via live audio webcast. You will be able to attend the Special Meeting by visiting [●] and entering your control number as further explained in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus.

Voting Power; Record Date

VPCC Stockholders will be entitled to vote or direct votes to be cast at the Special Meeting if you owned shares of VPCC Class A Common Stock or VPCC Class B Common Stock at the close of business on [●], 2021, which is the record date for the Special Meeting. You are entitled to one vote for each share of VPCC Class A Common Stock or VPCC Class B Common Stock that you owned as of the close of business on the record date. If your shares are held in “street name” or are in a margin or similar account, you should contact your broker, bank or other nominee to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted. On the record date, there were shares of VPCC Class A Common Stock and VPCC Class B Common Stock outstanding in the aggregate, of which are Public Shares, are Founder Shares held by the Sponsor and the Current Independent Directors.

Vote of the Sponsor, Directors and Officers of VPCC

In connection with our IPO, VPCC entered into agreements with each of its Sponsor and its directors and officers pursuant to which each agreed to vote any shares of VPCC Class A Common Stock or VPCC Class B Common Stock owned by them in favor of the Business Combination. Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, VPCC, Dave, the Founder Holders (i.e., Sponsor and the Current Independent Directors), and the other directors and officers of VPCC (together with the Founder Holders, the “Insiders”) entered into the Founder Holder Agreement, pursuant to which, among other things, the Insiders agreed to: (a) waive certain anti-dilution rights set forth in Section 4.3(b)(ii) of VPCC’s Existing Charter; (b) surrender to VPCC, on a pro rata basis, immediately prior to the consummation of the Mergers and for no consideration, up to 951,622 shares of VPCC Class A Common Stock (after giving effect to the Founder Holder Class B Conversion) comprising the Founder Holder Contingent Closing Shares, in the event that the number of shares of VPCC Class A Common Stock equal to (x) the shares of VPCC Class A Common Stock held by the VPCC Stockholders (other than the Founder Holders) that are redeemed in connection with the VPCC Share Redemptions minus (y) the shares of VPCC Class A Common Stock purchased by Sponsor or one or more of its affiliates or certain related parties prior to the Closing in connection with a VPCC Share Redemptions Alternative Financing, represents greater than 20% of the shares of VPCC Class A Common Stock held by the VPCC Stockholders as of the date of the Merger Agreement; (c) subject to potential forfeiture, on a pro rata basis, 1,586,037 shares of VPCC Class A Common Stock comprising the Founder Holder Earnout Shares in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, such that 100% of the Founder Holder Earnout Shares will be forfeited in the event that the Combined Company Class A Common Stock does not achieve a trading price of at least $12.50 per share following the Closing, and 40% of Founder Holder Earnout Shares will be forfeited in the event that the

108

Combined Company Class A Common Stock does not achieve a trading price of at least $15.00 per share following the Closing (in each case, as such trading prices may be adjusted for any dividend, subdivision, stock split or similar event, and as determined by reference to the volume-weighted average price achieved for at least 20 trading days within any 30 consecutive trading days) prior to the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Closing (and provided that, in connection with any change of control of the Combined Company prior to such fifth (5^th) anniversary, such Founder Holder Earnout Shares shall become no longer subject to forfeiture based upon the value received by holders of Combined Company Class A Common Stock being at least equal to such trading prices in connection with such change of control); (d) vote their VPCC equity interests in favor of the Transactions, including agreeing to vote in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement at the Special Meeting; and (e) not to transfer any shares of VPCC Common Stock until the Closing, other than to an affiliate.

Our Sponsor, directors and officers have waived any redemption rights, including with respect to shares of VPCC Class A Common Stock purchased in our IPO or in the aftermarket, in connection with the Business Combination. The Founder Shares held by the Sponsor have no redemption rights upon VPCC’s liquidation and will be worthless if no business combination is effected by us by March 9, 2023 (or if such date is extended at a duly called meeting of our stockholders, such later date). However, our Sponsor, directors and officers are entitled to redemption rights upon our liquidation with respect to any shares of VPCC Class A Common Stock they may own.

Quorum and Required Vote for Proposals for the Special Meeting

A quorum of VPCC Stockholders is necessary to hold a valid meeting. A quorum will be present at the Special Meeting if a majority of the VPCC Class A Common Stock and VPCC Class B Common Stock outstanding and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting is represented in person or by proxy. Abstentions will count as present for the purposes of establishing a quorum.

The Business Combination Proposal, the Governance Proposals (on an advisory basis), the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan Proposal, the Employee Stock Purchase Plan Proposal, the Share Issuance Proposal, the Repurchase Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal require the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of VPCC’s shares of VPCC Class A Common Stock and VPCC Class B Common Stock represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon and actually cast at the Special Meeting, voting as a single class. Approval of the Charter Amendment Proposal requires the affirmative vote (in person or by proxy) of the holders of a majority of VPCC’s outstanding shares of VPCC Class A Common Stock and VPCC Class B Common Stock entitled to vote thereon at the Special Meeting, voting as single class. Directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast by holders of the outstanding shares of VPCC Class A Common Stock and VPCC Class B Common Stock, voting as a single class. This means that the [●] director nominees who receive the most affirmative votes will be elected. VPCC Stockholders may not cumulate their votes with respect to the election of directors. Accordingly, if a valid quorum is otherwise established, a stockholder’s failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person at the Special Meeting will have no effect on the outcome of any vote on the Business Combination Proposal, the Governance Proposals the Director Election Proposal, the Share Issuance Proposal, the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan Proposal, the Employee Stock Purchase Plan Proposal or the Repurchase Proposal, but will have the same effect as a vote AGAINST the Charter Amendment Proposal.

Recommendation to VPCC Stockholders

After careful consideration, the VPCC Board unanimously recommends that VPCC Stockholders vote “FOR” each Proposal being submitted to a vote of the VPCC Stockholders at the Special Meeting.

109

For a more complete description of VPCC’s reasons for the approval of the Business Combination and the recommendation of the VPCC Board, see the section titled “The Business Combination and the Merger Agreement—VPCC’s Board of Directors’ Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination.”

Voting Your Shares

Each share of VPCC Class A Common Stock and each share of VPCC Class B Common Stock that you own in your name entitles you to one vote on each of the proposals for the Special Meeting. Your one or more proxy cards show the number of shares of VPCC Class A Common Stock and VPCC Class B Common Stock that you own. There are several ways to vote your shares of VPCC Class A Common Stock and VPCC Class B Common Stock:

•

You can vote your shares by completing, signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy card in the postage-paid envelope provided. If you hold your shares in “street name” through a bank, broker or other nominee, you will need to follow the instructions provided to you by your bank, broker or other nominee to ensure that your shares are represented and voted at the Special Meeting. If you vote by proxy card, your “proxy,” whose name is listed on the proxy card, will vote your shares as you instruct on the proxy card. If you sign and return the proxy card but do not give instructions on how to vote your shares, your shares of VPCC Class A Common Stock or VPCC Class B Common Stock will be voted as recommended by the board of directors. The board of directors recommends voting “FOR” the Business Combination Proposal, “FOR” the Charter Amendment Proposal, “FOR” the Governance Proposals, “FOR” the Director Election Proposal, “FOR” the Share Issuance Proposal, “FOR” the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan Proposal, “FOR” the Employee Stock Purchase Plan Proposal, “FOR” the Repurchase Proposal and “FOR” the Adjournment Proposal.

•

You can attend the Special Meeting and vote in person even if you have previously voted by submitting a proxy pursuant to any of the methods noted above. In light of the ongoing developments related to the COVID-19 pandemic and to protect the health of VPCC Stockholders and the community, the Special Meeting will be a completely virtual meeting of stockholders conducted via live audio webcast. You will be able to attend the Special Meeting by visiting and entering your control number as further explained in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus. However, if your shares of VPCC Class A Common Stock or VPCC Class B Common Stock are held in the name of your broker, bank or other nominee, you must get a proxy from the broker, bank or other nominee. That is the only way we can be sure that the broker, bank or nominee has not already voted your shares of VPCC Class A Common Stock or VPCC Class B Common Stock.

Revoking Your Proxy

If you give a proxy, you may revoke it at any time before the Special Meeting or at such meeting by doing any one of the following:

•

you may send another proxy card with a later date;

•

you may notify VPCC’s secretary, in writing, before the Special Meeting that you have revoked your proxy; or

•

you may attend the Special Meeting, revoke your proxy, and vote in person, as indicated above.

No Additional Matters May Be Presented at the Special Meeting

The Special Meeting has been called to consider only the approval of the Business Combination Proposal, the Charter Amendment Proposal, the Governance Proposals, the Director Election Proposal, the Share Issuance Proposal, the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan Proposal, the Employee Stock Purchase Plan Proposal, the Repurchase Proposal, and, if presented, the Adjournment Proposal. Under the VPCC bylaws, other than procedural matters incident to the conduct of the Special Meeting, no other matters may be considered at the Special Meeting if they are not included in this proxy statement/prospectus, which serves as the notice of the Special Meeting.

Redemption Rights

Under VPCC’s Existing Charter, any holder of VPCC Class A Common Stock may elect that such shares be redeemed in exchange for a pro rata share of the aggregate amount on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest but net of taxes payable, calculated as of two (2) business days prior to the Closing. If demand is properly made and the Business Combination is consummated, these shares, immediately prior to the Business Combination, will cease to be outstanding and will represent only the right to receive a pro rata share of the aggregate amount on deposit in the Trust Account, which holds the proceeds of our IPO (calculated as of two (2) business days prior to the Closing, including interest but net of taxes payable). For illustrative purposes, based on the fair value of marketable securities held in the Trust Account as of September 30, 2021 of approximately $253,782,145.56, the estimated per share redemption price would have been approximately $10.00.

In order to exercise your redemption rights, you must:

•

if you hold your shares of VPCC Class A Common Stock through units, elect to separate your units into the underlying Public Shares and Public Warrants prior to exercising your redemption rights with respect to the Public Shares;

•

check the box on the enclosed proxy card marked “Stockholder Certification” if you are not acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) with any other stockholder with respect to shares of VPCC Class A Common Stock;

•

prior to 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on [●], 2021 (two (2) business days before the Special Meeting), (i) tender your shares physically or electronically and (ii) submit a request in writing that we redeem your Public Shares for cash, including the legal name, phone number and address of the beneficial owner of the shares for which redemption is requested to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, our transfer agent, to the attention of Mark Zimkind at 1 State Street Plaza, 30^th Floor, New York, New York 10004, or by email at mzimkind@continentalstock.com; and

•

deliver your shares of VPCC Class A Common Stock either physically or electronically through DTC to the transfer agent at least two (2) business days before the Special Meeting. Stockholders seeking to exercise their redemption rights and opting to deliver physical certificates should allot sufficient time to obtain physical certificates from the transfer agent and time to effect delivery. It is VPCC’s understanding that stockholders should generally allot at least two weeks to obtain physical certificates from the transfer agent. However, VPCC does not have any control over this process and it may take longer than two weeks. Stockholders who hold their shares in street name will have to coordinate with their bank, broker or other nominee to have the shares certificated or delivered electronically. If you do not submit a written request and deliver your shares of VPCC Class A Common Stock as described above, your shares will not be redeemed.

Any demand for redemption, once made, may be withdrawn at any time until the deadline for exercising redemption requests (and submitting shares to the transfer agent) and thereafter, with our consent, until the vote is taken with respect to the Business Combination. If you delivered your shares for redemption to the transfer agent and decide within the required timeframe not to exercise your redemption rights, you may request that the transfer agent return the shares (physically or electronically). You may make such request by contacting the transfer agent at the e-mail address or address listed above.

111

you must deliver the certificate for such units to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company with written instructions to separate such units into Public Shares and Public Warrants. This must be completed far enough in advance to permit the mailing of the Public Share certificates back to you so that you may then exercise your redemption rights upon the separation of the Public Shares from the units.

If a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee holds your units, you must instruct such nominee to separate your units. Your nominee must send written instructions by facsimile to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company. Such written instructions must include the number of units to be split and the nominee holding such units. Your nominee must also initiate electronically, using DTC’s DWAC (deposit withdrawal at custodian) system, a withdrawal of the relevant units and a deposit of an equal number of Public Shares and Public Warrants. This must be completed far enough in advance to permit your nominee to exercise your redemption rights upon the separation of the Public Shares from the units. While this is typically done electronically on the same business day, you should allow at least one full business day to accomplish the separation. If you fail to cause your Public Shares to be separated in a timely manner, you will likely not be able to exercise your redemption rights.

If you exercise your redemption rights, your shares of VPCC Class A Common Stock will cease to be outstanding immediately prior to the Business Combination and will only represent the right to receive a pro rata share of the aggregate amount on deposit in the Trust Account. You will no longer own those shares and will have no right to participate in, or have any interest in, the future growth of VPCC following the Business Combination, if any. You will be entitled to receive cash for these shares only if you properly and timely demand redemption.

If the Business Combination is not approved and we do not consummate a “business combination” (as defined in VPCC’s Existing Charter) by March 9, 2023 (or if such date is extended at a duly called meeting of our stockholders, such later date), we will be required to dissolve and liquidate our Trust Account by returning the then-remaining funds in such account to the Public Stockholders and our warrants will expire worthless.

Appraisal Rights

Appraisal rights are not available to holders of shares of VPCC Class A Common Stock or VPCC Class B Common Stock in connection with the Business Combination.

Proxy Solicitation Costs

VPCC is soliciting proxies on behalf of its board of directors. This solicitation is being made by mail but also may be made by telephone or in person. VPCC and its directors, officers and employees may also solicit proxies in person. VPCC will file with the SEC all scripts and other electronic communications as proxy soliciting materials. VPCC will bear the cost of the solicitation.

VPCC has hired Morrow to assist in the proxy solicitation process. VPCC will pay that firm a fee of $[●], plus costs and expenses. VPCC will ask banks, brokers and other institutions, nominees and fiduciaries to forward the proxy materials to their principals and to obtain their authority to execute proxies and voting instructions. VPCC will reimburse them for their reasonable expenses.

112

THE BUSINESS COMBINATION AND THE MERGER AGREEMENT

The following is a summary of the material terms of the Merger Agreement and the Business Combination. A copy of the Merger Agreement is attached as Annex A to this proxy statement/prospectus and is incorporated by reference. The Merger Agreement has been attached to this proxy statement/prospectus to provide you with information regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about VPCC, Dave, First Merger Sub or Second Merger Sub. The following description does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement. You should refer to the full text of the Merger Agreement for details of the Mergers and the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement. In the event of any discrepancy between the following summary and the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Merger Agreement will control. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein have the definition given to them in the Merger Agreement.

VPCC is asking its stockholders to approve and adopt the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby. VPCC Stockholders should read carefully this proxy statement/prospectus in its entirety for more detailed information concerning the Merger Agreement. Please see the subsection titled “The Merger Agreement” below for additional information and a summary of certain terms of the Merger Agreement. You are urged to read carefully the Merger Agreement in its entirety before voting on this proposal.

Because VPCC is holding a Special Meeting of stockholders to vote on the Business Combination, VPCC may consummate the Business Combination only if it is approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of VPCC Class A Common Stock and VPCC Class B Common Stock that are voted at the Special Meeting, voting as a single class.

The Merger Agreement

Structure

Under the Merger Agreement: (a) First Merger Sub will merge with and into Dave (the “First Merger”), with Dave being the surviving corporation of the First Merger (such company, in its capacity as the surviving corporation of the First Merger, the “Surviving Corporation”) and (b) immediately following the First Merger and as part of the same overall transaction as the First Merger, the Surviving Corporation will merge with and into Second Merger Sub (the “Second Merger” and, together with the First Merger, the “Mergers”), with Second Merger Sub being the surviving company of the Second Merger (such company, in its capacity as the surviving company of the Second Merger, the “Surviving Entity”). The transactions set forth in the Merger Agreement, including the Mergers, will constitute a “Business Combination” as contemplated by VPCC’s Existing Charter.

Recapitalization

Prior to the Closing, Dave will cause the Recapitalization to occur, namely:

•

a dual-class Dave Common Stock structure to be implemented consisting of (x) Class A common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (“Dave Class A Common Stock”), with respect to which each holder thereof has one (1) vote per share on each matter subject to the vote of the Dave Stockholders, and (y) Class V common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (the “Dave Class V Common Stock”), with respect to which each holder thereof has ten (10) votes per share on each matter subject to the vote of the Dave Stockholders;

•

each authorized share of the Dave Common Stock to automatically convert, effective as of the Recapitalization, into a share of Dave Class A Common Stock; and

113

•

Completion and Effectiveness of the Mergers

The Mergers will be completed as promptly as reasonably practicable (but no later than the fifth business day) after all of the conditions to the obligations of the parties to consummate the Mergers are satisfied or waived, including the requisite approval of the VPCC Stockholders and Dave Stockholders, or at such other time as the parties agree, unless earlier terminated in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement. For a more complete description of the conditions that must be satisfied prior to the Closing, see the section titled “—Conditions to the Completion of the Mergers”. For more information on termination rights, see the section titled “—Termination”. The Mergers are anticipated to occur after the Special Meeting, which is further described in the section titled “VPC Special meeting of Shareholders”. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, the parties expect that the Business Combination, including the Mergers, will be consummated during the third or fourth quarter of 2021. However, there can be no assurance as to when or if the Mergers will occur.

Merger Consideration

No fractional shares of VPCC Common Stock will be issued, and no payment will be made with respect to any fractional share that a Dave Interest Holder would otherwise be entitled to receive. In lieu of the issuance of such fractional share, the number of shares of Combined Company Common Stock otherwise issuable to such Dave Interest Holder will be rounded down to the nearest whole number.

Treatment of Dave Equity Interests

Capital Stock

In connection with the Transactions, the shares of Combined Company Common Stock received as consideration by Mr. Wilk will be shares of Combined Company Class V Common Stock, and will entitle Mr. Wilk to ten (10) votes per share until such time as such shares of Combined Company Class V Common Stock are exchanged pursuant to the terms of the Proposed Charter for an equal number of shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock (as more fully described below under “—Certain Agreements Related to the Business Combination—Proposed Charter and Combined Company Amended and Restated Bylaws”). Mr. Wilk’s shares of Combined Company Class V Common Stock will provide him with approximately 70.3% of the voting power of the Combined Company Common Stock outstanding immediately following the Effective Time (and prior to any repurchases of shares of Combined Company Class V Common Stock by the Combined Company pursuant to the Repurchase (as further discussed below under “—Certain Agreements Related to the Business Combination—Repurchase Agreement”)), assuming no redemptions by VPCC Stockholders.

114

Warrants

Vested and Unvested Options

Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, each Dave Option that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time (whether vested or unvested) (other than any Dave Non-Plan Option, which will be handled as set forth below under “Non-Plan Option,” below) will be automatically assumed by VPCC and converted into an option to acquire an adjusted number of shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock at an adjusted exercise price per share, determined in the manner described below (each such resulting option, a “Rollover Option”). Each Rollover Option will continue to be governed by substantially the same terms and conditions (including vesting and exercisability terms) as were applicable to the corresponding former Dave Option, except to the extent such terms or conditions are rendered inoperative by the Transactions or such other immaterial administrative or ministerial changes as the parties to the Merger Agreement may determine are appropriate to effectuate the administration of the Rollover Options. The shares of Dave Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of Dave Options that are outstanding, unexercised and unvested immediately prior to the Effective Time (such options, the “Unvested Dave Options”) are not included in the calculation of the “Dave Stock Adjusted Fully Diluted Shares” for purposes of the calculation of the Per Share Dave Stock Consideration, and the shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of Rollover Options representing at the Effective Time Unvested Dave Options (such shares, “Unvested Rollover Option Shares”) are not considered a part of the Aggregate Stock Consideration. The Unvested Rollover Option Shares will reduce the shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock initially available for issuance under the 2021 Plan (as further discussed below under “—Certain Agreements Related to the Business Combination—Equity Incentive Plans”).

The number of shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock subject to each Rollover Option shall be determined by multiplying the number of shares of Dave Capital Stock subject to the corresponding Dave Option by the Per Share Dave Stock Consideration and rounding the resulting number down to the nearest whole number of shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock. The per share exercise price for the Combined Company Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such Rollover Option shall be determined by dividing the per share exercise price for the shares of Dave Capital Stock subject to the Dave Option, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, by the Per Share Dave Stock Consideration, and rounding the resulting exercise price up to the nearest whole cent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the conversions described under the Merger Agreement shall occur in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and, in the case of any Dave Option to which Section 422 of the Code applies, the exercise price and the number of shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock purchasable pursuant to such option shall be determined in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 424(a) of the Code.

Non-Plan Options

Restricted Stock

115

to such award by the Per Share Dave Stock Consideration and rounding the resulting number down to the nearest whole number of shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock. All Rollover Restricted Stock will continue to be governed by substantially the same terms and conditions (including vesting terms) as were applicable to the corresponding former Dave Restricted Stock, except to the extent such terms or conditions are rendered inoperative by the Transactions or such other immaterial administrative or ministerial changes as the parties to the Merger Agreement may determine are appropriate to effectuate the administration of the Rollover Restricted Stock.

•

all applicable waiting periods (and any extensions thereof) under the HSR Act relating to the Transactions shall have expired or otherwise been terminated;

•

certain specified authorizations, consents, orders, approvals, non-objections, declarations, filings or waiting periods shall have been made, received or expired, as applicable;

•

Dave Conditions to the Completion of the Mergers

In addition, the obligation of Dave to complete the Mergers is further subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the following conditions:

•

certain individuals must have resigned from their positions and offices with VPCC;

•

VPCC must have made appropriate arrangements to have the cash available in the Trust Account, less any amounts required to satisfy VPCC Share Redemptions, available to VPCC for payment of Dave’s

117

transaction costs (“Dave Transaction Costs”) and VPCC’s transaction costs (“VPCC Transaction Costs”) at the Closing; and

the amount of VPCC Available Cash must equal or exceed $210,000,000 (the “VPCC Minimum Cash Condition”). For the purpose of the foregoing conditions, “VPCC Material Adverse Effect” means any change, event, or occurrence, that, individually or when aggregated with other changes, events, or occurrences that would reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay the ability of VPCC, First Merger Sub or Second Merger Sub to consummate the Transactions; provided, however, that no change or effect related to any of the following, alone or in combination, will be taken into account in determining whether a VPCC Material Adverse Effect has occurred: (i) changes or proposed changes in applicable Law, regulations or interpretations thereof or decisions by courts or any Governmental Entity after the date of the Merger Agreement; (ii) changes or proposed changes in GAAP (or any interpretation thereof) after the date of the Merger Agreement; (iii) any downturn in general economic conditions, including changes in the credit, debt, securities, financial, capital or reinsurance markets (including changes in interest or exchange rates, prices of any security or market index or commodity or any disruption of such markets), in each case, in the United States or anywhere else in the world; (iv) events or conditions generally affecting the industries and markets in which VPCC or any of the Merger Subs operates including changes in interest rates; (v) earthquakes, hurricanes, tornados, pandemics (including COVID-19) or other natural or man-made disasters; (vi) acts of war, sabotage, or terrorism, or any escalation or worsening of any such acts of war, sabotage or terrorism, or changes in global or national political or social conditions; (vii) the taking of any action required to be taken by the Merger Agreement, or omitting to take any action that VPCC or either Merger Sub is required not to take pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, or changes attributable to the public announcement or pendency of the Transactions (including the impact thereof on relationships with stockholders, PIPE Investors or Governmental Entities); (viii) the consummation and effects of the VPCC Share Redemptions; or (ix) that VPCC may have improperly accounted for its outstanding warrants as equity instruments and may be required to restate its previously filed financial statements to reflect the classification of its outstanding warrants as liabilities for accounting purposes (together with any deficiencies in disclosure (including, without limitation, with respect to internal control over financial reporting or disclosure controls and procedures) arising from the treatment of such warrants of VPCC as equity rather than liabilities, the “Warrant Accounting Issue”); provided, however, that (A) if a change or effect related to clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v) or (vi) disproportionately adversely affects VPCC and the Merger Subs, compared to other persons operating in the same industries and geographies as VPCC and the Merger Subs, then such disproportionate impact may be taken into account in determining whether a VPCC Material Adverse Effect has occurred, and (B) if a change or effect related to clause (ix) disproportionately adversely affects VPCC compared to other special purpose acquisition companies that have consummated initial public offerings prior to the release of that certain Staff Statement on Select Issues Pertaining to Special Purpose Acquisition Companies, dated March 31, 2021, released by the SEC (the “SEC Warrant Accounting Statement”), and have not consummated an initial business combination, then such disproportionate impact may be taken into account in determining whether a VPCC Material Adverse Effect has occurred.

VPCC and Merger Subs Conditions to the Completion of the Mergers

In addition, the obligations of VPCC, First Merger Sub and Second Merger Sub to complete the Mergers is further subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the following conditions:

•

118

correct on and as of the date of the Merger Agreement and the Closing Date as though made on and as of the date of the Merger Agreement and the Closing Date (except to the extent that any such representation and warranty expressly speaks as of an earlier date, in which case such representation and warranty must be true and correct as of such earlier date) (in each case, without giving effect to any limitation as to “materiality” or “Dave Material Adverse Effect” or any similar limitation contained therein), except, in each case, where the failure of such representations and warranties of Dave to be so true and correct, individually or in the aggregate, has not had and is not reasonably likely to have a Dave Material Adverse Effect;

•

since the date of the Merger Agreement, there must not have occurred a Dave Material Adverse Effect;

•

certain individuals must have resigned from their positions and offices with Dave;

•

the Recapitalization shall have been consummated in accordance with and compliance with Dave’s governance documents and applicable law.

For purposes of the foregoing conditions, “Dave Material Adverse Effect” shall means any change, event, development, circumstance, or occurrence, that, individually or when aggregated with other changes, events, developments, circumstances or occurrences: (a) has had or would be reasonably likely to have a materially adverse effect on the business, assets, liabilities, properties, condition (financial or otherwise) or results of operations of Dave and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole; or (b) has or is reasonably likely to prevent or materially delay the ability of Dave or any of its subsidiaries to consummate the Transactions; provided, however, that no change, event, occurrence or effect arising out of or related to any of the following, alone or in combination, will be taken into account in determining whether a Dave Material Adverse Effect has occurred pursuant to the foregoing clause (a): (i) acts of war, sabotage, or terrorism, or any escalation or worsening of any such acts of war, sabotage, or terrorism, or changes in global or national political or social conditions; (ii) earthquakes, hurricanes, tornados, pandemics (including COVID-19) or other natural or man-made disasters; (iii) the taking of any action required to be taken by the Merger Agreement, or omitting to take any action that Dave is required not to take pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, or changes attributable to the public announcement or pendency of the Transactions (including the impact thereof on relationships with Members, suppliers, employees or governmental entities); (iv) changes or proposed changes in applicable Law, regulations or interpretations thereof or decisions by courts or any governmental entity after the date of the Merger Agreement; (v) changes or proposed changes in GAAP (or any interpretation thereof) after the date of the Merger Agreement; (vi) any downturn in general economic conditions, including changes in the credit, debt, securities, financial, capital or reinsurance markets (including changes in interest or exchange rates, prices of any security or market index or commodity or any disruption of such markets), in each case, in the United States or anywhere else in the world; (vii) events or conditions generally affecting the industries and markets in which Dave operates including changes in interest rates; or (viii) any failure to meet any projections, forecasts, estimates, milestones, budgets or financial or operating predictions of revenue, earnings, cash flow or cash position, provided that this clause (viii) shall not prevent a determination that any change, event, development, circumstance or occurrence (alone or in combination) underlying such failure has resulted in a Dave Material Adverse Effect; provided,

119

however, that if a change or effect related to clauses (i), (ii), (iv), (v), (vi) or (vii) disproportionately adversely affects Dave and its subsidiaries, compared to other businesses operating in the same industries and geographies as Dave and its subsidiaries, then such disproportionate impact may be taken into account in determining whether a Dave Material Adverse Effect has occurred.

Representations and Warranties

The Merger Agreement contains representations and warranties that VPCC, First Merger Sub and Second Merger Sub, on the one hand, and Dave and its subsidiaries, on the other hand, have made to one another as of specific dates. These representations and warranties have been made for the benefit of the other parties to the Merger Agreement and may be intended not as statements of fact but rather as a way of allocating the risk to one of the parties if such statements made in the representations and warranties prove to be incorrect. In addition, certain of the assertions made in the representations and warranties are qualified by the information in the Dave Disclosure Letter and VPCC Disclosure Letter, respectively, exchanged by the parties in connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement. While VPCC and Dave do not believe that these disclosure letters contain information required to be publicly disclosed under applicable securities laws, other than information that has already been so disclosed, the disclosure letters contain information that modifies, qualifies and creates exceptions to the representations and warranties set forth in the Merger Agreement. Accordingly, you should not rely on the representations and warranties as current characterizations of factual information about VPCC, First Merger Sub, Second Merger Sub, Dave and its subsidiaries or any other matter, because they were made as of specific dates, may be intended merely as a risk allocation mechanism between VPCC, First Merger Sub and Second Merger Sub, on the one hand, and Dave and its subsidiaries, on the other hand, and are modified by the disclosure letters.

No Survival

The Merger Agreement provides that none of the representations and warranties of VPCC, Dave, First Merger Sub and Second Merger Sub contained in the Merger Agreement, any other Transaction Agreement or any instrument delivered pursuant to the Merger Agreement prior to the Closing will survive the Closing, and all rights, claims and causes of action (whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, or whether at law or in equity)

121

with respect thereto will terminate at the Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the covenants and agreements in the Merger Agreement, any other Transaction Agreement or any instrument delivered pursuant to the Merger Agreement that by their terms survive the Closing will survive the Closing and nothing in the Merger Agreement will relieve any party from liability for any intentional breach of the Merger Agreement or actual fraud.

Non-Solicitation

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, both VPCC and Dave have agreed not to, and have agreed to cause each of their respective subsidiaries and its and their respective directors, officers and employees not to, and have agreed to instruct and use their respective reasonable best efforts to cause their other Representatives not to, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit, initiate, assist, knowingly encourage or facilitate or cooperate with any inquiries regarding, or the submission or announcement by any person or “group” (as defined in the Exchange Act and the rules thereunder) of, any proposal or offer that constitutes or would reasonably be expected to lead to any VPCC Acquisition Proposal or Dave Acquisition Proposal (each as defined below), as applicable, or any VPCC Acquisition Transaction or Dave Acquisition Transaction (each as defined below), as applicable; (ii) furnish, or afford access to (including through any virtual data room), any information (except for, in respect of VPCC, information that is publicly available as of the date of the Merger Agreement or is made publicly available after the date of the Merger Agreement pursuant to applicable law or stock exchange requirements) regarding itself, any of its subsidiaries, or their respective businesses, operations, assets, liabilities, financial condition, books and records, prospects or employees to person or “group” (as defined in the Exchange Act and the rules thereunder) in connection with, for the purpose of assisting, soliciting, initiating, encouraging or facilitating, or in response to, or that would reasonably be expected to lead to, any VPCC Acquisition Proposal or Dave Acquisition Proposal, as applicable, or VPCC Acquisition Transaction or Dave Acquisition Transaction, as applicable; (iii) enter into, continue, engage in or otherwise participating in any discussions or negotiations with any person or “group” (as defined in the Exchange Act and the rules thereunder) with respect to any VPCC Acquisition Proposal or Dave Acquisition Proposal, as applicable, or any VPCC Acquisition Transaction or Dave Acquisition Transaction, as applicable, or any agreement, arrangement or understanding (including any letter of intent or similar document, agreement, commitment, or agreement in principle with respect to any VPCC Acquisition Proposal or Dave Acquisition Proposal, as applicable, or any VPCC Acquisition Transaction or Dave Acquisition Transaction, as applicable), or any inquiry, proposal or offer that would reasonably be expected to lead to any VPCC Acquisition Proposal or Dave Acquisition Proposal, as applicable, or any VPCC Acquisition Transaction or Dave Acquisition Transaction, as applicable, or announce an intention to do so; (iv) approve, adopt, endorse, recommend or enter into, or propose to approve, adopt, recommend or enter into, any letter of intent or similar document, agreement, commitment, or agreement in principle with respect to any VPCC Acquisition Proposal or Dave Acquisition Proposal, as applicable, or any VPCC Acquisition Transaction or Dave Acquisition Transaction, as applicable; or (v) release any third person, or waive any provision of, any confidentiality agreement to which such person is a party and which directly relates to a VPCC Acquisition Proposal or Dave Acquisition Proposal, as applicable, or a VPCC Acquisition Transaction or Dave Acquisition Transaction, as applicable.

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, each of VPCC and Dave agreed to, and have agreed to cause each of their respective affiliates and its and their respective directors, officers and employees, and have agreed to instruct and use reasonable best efforts to cause their respective other Representatives to immediately (as of the date of the Merger Agreement) cease any existing solicitation of, or discussions or negotiations with, any person or “group” (as defined in the Exchange Act and the rules thereunder) relating to any VPCC Acquisition Proposal or Dave Acquisition Proposal, as applicable, or any VPCC Acquisition Transaction or Dave Acquisition Transaction, as applicable, promptly following the date of the Merger Agreement.

If VPCC or Dave receives an acquisition proposal or any inquiry, proposal or offer or request for information or request for discussions or negotiations, regarding or constituting any VPCC Acquisition Proposal or Dave Acquisition Proposal, as applicable, or any VPCC Acquisition Transaction or Dave Acquisition Transaction, as applicable, or that is reasonably likely to lead to a VPCC Acquisition Proposal or Dave Acquisition Proposal, as applicable, or a VPCC Acquisition Transaction or Dave Acquisition Transaction, as applicable, then such party

122

will promptly (and in no event later than 48 hours after its receipt of such acquisition proposal or inquiry, proposal, offer or request) notify the other party in writing of such acquisition proposal or inquiry, proposal, offer or request (including, unless expressly prohibited by a confidentiality agreement in effect as of the date of the Merger Agreement, the identity of the person making or submitting such request or acquisition proposal and the material terms and conditions thereof).

“VPCC Acquisition Proposal” means any written or bona fide oral inquiry, proposal or offer contemplating or otherwise relating to any VPCC Acquisition Transaction.

“VPCC Acquisition Transaction” means any “initial business combination” as defined in the final IPO prospectus of VPCC on file with the SEC (other than the Transactions or any other transactions with Dave and its affiliates).

“Dave Acquisition Proposal” means any written or bona fide oral inquiry, indication of interest, proposal or offer (other than an offer, indication of interest or proposal made or submitted by or on behalf of VPCC or any of its affiliates) contemplating or otherwise relating to any Dave Acquisition Transaction.

“Dave Acquisition Transaction” means any transaction or series of related transactions (other than the Transactions) involving, directly or indirectly:

•

any merger, consolidation, amalgamation, share exchange, business combination, joint venture, acquisition, financing, recapitalization (for the avoidance of doubt, other than the Recapitalization), dissolution, liquidation, reorganization or other similar transaction involving Dave or any of its subsidiaries;

•

any issuance, sale, pledge, disposal of, transfer or encumbrance of any securities (or instruments convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for, such securities) of Dave or any of its subsidiaries, other than issuances, sales, pledges, disposals, transfers or encumbrances of securities (or instruments convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for, such securities) expressly permitted by interim operating covenants in the Merger Agreement (as more fully described below under “—Covenants—Operation of Business Pending the Merger”);

•

any transaction (i) in which any Person or “group” (as defined in the Exchange Act and the rules thereunder) of Persons acquires beneficial or record ownership of securities (or instruments convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for, such securities) representing 10% or more of the outstanding voting power of Dave or any of its subsidiaries; or (ii) in which Dave or any of its subsidiaries issues, transfers, sells or pledges securities (or instruments convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for, such securities) representing 10% or more of the outstanding voting power of Dave or any of its subsidiaries (after giving effect to such transaction);

•

any sale, pledge exchange, transfer, acquisition or disposition of 10% or more of the assets of Dave, any of its subsidiaries or of any business or businesses that constitute or account for 10% or more of the revenues or income of Dave or any of its subsidiaries;

•

any or exchange offer that if consummated would result in any Person or “group” (as defined in the Exchange Act and the rules thereunder) of Persons acquiring beneficial or record ownership of securities (or instruments convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for such securities) representing 10% or more of the outstanding voting power of the Dave or any of its subsidiaries;

•

any combination of the foregoing types of transaction if the sum of the percentage of the voting power of Dave or any of its subsidiaries or of the revenues, income or assets of Dave or any of its subsidiaries involved is 10% or more; or

•

any other transaction that would reasonably be expected to materially impede, materially delay, materially interfere with or prevent the consummation of the Transactions.

provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this definition of “Dave Acquisition Proposal” shall be deemed to limit the restrictions set forth in the interim operating covenants in the Merger Agreement (as more

123

fully described below under “—Covenants—Operation of Business Pending the Merger”) or otherwise permit Dave or any of its subsidiaries to take or omit to take any action that prohibited by such interim operating covenants in the Merger Agreement; provided, further, with respect to any action by Dave (x) in respect of which VPCC provides prior written consent in accordance with the interim operating covenants in the Merger Agreement or (y) that is explicitly disclosed in Dave’s disclosure letter, Dave’s taking of such action shall not, in such instance only and not in any future instances, be considered a Dave Acquisition Proposal solely to the extent Dave has taken such action in accordance with the explicit terms of such consent or as explicitly disclosed in Dave’s disclosure letter.

VPCC Stockholder Meeting

As promptly as practicable after the Registration Statement, of which this proxy statement/prospectus forms a part, becomes effective, VPCC will cause the Special Meeting of the VPCC Stockholders to be duly called and held as soon as reasonably practicable for the purpose of obtaining the Requisite VPCC Stockholder Approval and VPCC will use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the Requisite VPCC Stockholder Approval at the Special Meeting. VPCC will be entitled to postpone or adjourn the special meeting only: (i) to ensure that any supplement or amendment to this proxy statement/prospectus that the VPCC Board has reasonably determined in good faith after consultation with VPCC’s outside legal counsel is required by applicable law is disclosed to the VPCC Stockholders and for such supplement or amendment to be promptly disseminated to the VPCC Stockholders prior to the Special Meeting; (ii) if, as of the time for which the Special Meeting is originally scheduled (as set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus), there are insufficient shares VPCC Common Stock represented (either in person or by proxy) to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct the business to be conducted at the Special Meeting; or (iii) in order to solicit additional proxies from VPCC Stockholders for purposes of obtaining the Requisite VPCC Stockholder Approval; provided, that (A) in the event of a postponement or adjournment pursuant to clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) above, the Special Meeting shall be reconvened as promptly as practicable and in any event no later than five business days after the date that such matters are resolved and (B) in no event shall the special meeting be held later than three business days prior to January 31, 2022 without prior written consent of Dave.

The VPCC Board unanimously recommends that VPCC Stockholders vote to approve the plan of merger set forth in the Merger Agreement (such recommendation of the VPCC Board being referred to as the “VPCC Recommendation”). VPCC has agreed that neither the VPCC Board nor any committee thereof will (i) withdraw, modify, amend or qualify (or publicly propose to withdraw, modify, amend or qualify) the VPCC Recommendation, (ii) approve, recommend or declare advisable any VPCC Acquisition Proposal, (iii) fail to publicly announce, within ten business days after a tender offer or exchange offer relating to the equity securities of VPCC (other than the Transactions) shall have been commenced by any third party (and in no event later than one business day prior to the date of the Special Meeting, as it may be postponed or adjourned), a statement disclosing that the VPCC Board recommends rejection of such tender or exchange offer (for the avoidance of doubt, the taking of no position or a neutral position by the VPCC Board in respect of the acceptance of any such tender offer or exchange offer as of the end of such period shall constitute a failure to publicly announce that the VPCC Board recommends rejection of such tender or exchange offer), or (iv) fail to take certain specified actions in support of a VPCC Acquisition Transaction (with such actions constituting a “VPCC Change in Recommendation”). Unless the Merger Agreement has been earlier validly terminated in accordance with its terms, VPCC has agreed that the VPCC Stockholder matters shall be submitted to VPCC Stockholders at the Special Meeting for the purpose of obtaining the Requisite VPCC Stockholder Approval and nothing contained in the Merger Agreement shall be deemed to relieve VPCC of such obligation.

Dave Stockholder Action by Written Consent

As promptly as practicable after the Registration Statement becomes effective, Dave will solicit the Requisite Dave Stockholder Approval via written consent in accordance with Section 228 of the DGCL and Dave’s governing documents. Dave will use reasonable best efforts to cause the Written Consent Parties to duly execute and deliver Stockholder Written within two business days of the Registration Statement becoming effective. As

124

promptly as possible following the execution and delivery of such Stockholder Written Consents to Dave, Dave shall deliver to VPCC a copy of such consents. If any Written Consent Party fails to deliver its Stockholder Written Consent to Dave within two business days of the Registration Statement becoming effective, VPCC shall have the right to terminate the Merger Agreement. Promptly (but in any event within two business days) following the receipt of the Requisite Dave Stockholder Approval via the Stockholder Written Consents, Dave has agreed to prepare and deliver to the Dave Stockholders who have not executed and deliver Stockholder Written Consents the notice required by Section 228€ of the DGCL and include a description of the appraisal rights of the Dave Stockholders available under Section 262 of the DGCL, along with such other information as is required thereunder and pursuant to applicable law (the “Dave Information Statement”). The Dave Information Statement will include a statement to the effect that the Dave Board unanimously recommends that the Merger Agreement, the other Transaction Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereby be adopted by the Dave Stockholders (the “Dave Recommendation”). Neither the Dave Board nor any committee thereof will (i) withdraw, modify, amend or qualify (or publicly propose to withdraw, modify, amend or qualify) the Dave Recommendation, (ii) approve, recommend or declare advisable (or publicly propose to do so) any Dave Acquisition Proposal or Dave Acquisition Transaction, (iii) fail to publicly announce, within three business days after a tender offer or exchange offer relating to equity securities of Dave (other than the Transactions) shall have been commenced by any third party other than VPCC and its affiliates, a statement disclosing that the Dave Board recommends rejection of such tender or exchange offer (for the avoidance of doubt, the taking of no position or a neutral position by the Dave Board in respect of the acceptance of any such tender offer or exchange offer as of the end of such period shall constitute a failure to publicly announce that the Dave Board recommends rejection of such tender or exchange offer), or (iv) take certain specified actions in support of a Dave Acquisition Transaction (such actions constituting a “Dave Change in Recommendation”). Unless the Merger Agreement has been earlier validly terminated in accordance its terms, Dave shall solicit the Requisite Dave Stockholder Approval in accordance with the Merger Agreement, including using reasonable best efforts to cause all Dave stockholders to duly execute and deliver the stockholder written consent, and nothing contained in the Merger Agreement shall be deemed to relieve Dave of such obligation.

126

Background to the Business Combination

VPCC is a blank check company that was incorporated on January 14, 2021, as a Delaware corporation for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. The Business Combination was the result of an extensive search for a potential transaction utilizing the global network and the investing and operating experience of our management team and the VPCC Board. The terms of the proposed Business Combination are the result of extensive negotiations among the representatives of VPCC and Dave. The following is a description of the background of these negotiations and the resulting terms of the proposed Business Combination.

Prior to the consummation of the IPO on March 4, 2021, neither VPCC, nor anyone on VPCC’s behalf, identified any specific target business, contacted any prospective target business or had any substantive discussions, formal or otherwise, with respect to a transaction with VPCC.

The prospectus for the IPO states that VPCC intended to use the following general criteria and guidelines to evaluate potential acquisition opportunities:

•

high-growth financial technology (“fintech”) businesses which operate within large and expanding markets with significant whitespace opportunity;

•

meaningful scale and products and/or services that are materially differentiated from competitors creating meaningful barriers to entry for new competitors;

•

operating a superior unit economic model which either currently or over time are expected to generate profitable, stable and predictable cash flow generation for the business;

137

•

at a capital inflection point where significant risk-adjusted shareholder value can be generated through a business combination and resulting access to the broader equity capital markets to drive growth;

•

possessing a best-in-class management team with a track record of success in driving growth and profitability within the fintech industry;

•

maintaining superior and scalable risk management, underwriting, data analytics, monitoring and reporting processes; and

•

promoting financial inclusion and providing significant value to the underlying end consumer or enterprise through a lowering of transaction costs or through providing access to high-quality financial services.

After completion of the IPO, VPCC’s officers and directors commenced an active search for prospective businesses or assets to acquire in its initial business combination. Representatives of VPCC were contacted by, and representatives of VPCC contacted, numerous individuals, financial advisors, business owners and other entities who offered to present ideas for business combination opportunities. VPCC’s officers and directors and their affiliates actively searched for and brought business combination targets to VPCC’s attention.

From March 4, 2021 to April 16, 2021, during the search process, VPCC reviewed more than 50 acquisition opportunities across the fintech industry. VPCC had active discussions with approximately 25 of those potential business targets and delivered initial drafts of letters of intent to two of such companies, including Target A and Dave. VPCC ultimately determined to not proceed with each of the other potential acquisition opportunities, either because: (a) VPCC did not prevail or could not pre-empt a competitive process; (b) VPCC could not come to an agreement with the counterparty on the economic terms for a potential transaction; (c) the counterparty was not seeking to pursue a business combination at that time; or (d) VPCC concluded that the target business or the terms of a potential business combination would not be suitable for VPCC or its stockholders. Confidentiality agreements entered into with Dave and separately the other potential target businesses were individually negotiated on customary terms.

With respect to Target A, VPCC’s management team commenced discussions with representatives of Target A in March 2021, and received a draft of a letter of intent with respect to a potential business combination on March 16, 2021. Following negotiations of the principal terms of such letter of intent over the following days, including the proposed enterprise value of Target A, the proposed size of the PIPE investment that would occur in connection with such transaction, and the proposed conditions to closing such transaction, Target A entered into a letter of intent with a different SPAC that provided Target A with a higher enterprise value than proposed by VPCC.

In May 2018, affiliates of Victory Park Capital Advisors, LLC, an affiliate of the Sponsor (“Victory Park”), purchased in a private placement convertible promissory notes of Dave (the “2018 Convertible Notes”), in a principal amount of approximately $2 million, with an interest rate of 8% per annum. The unpaid principal and interest under the 2018 Convertible Notes held by affiliates of Victory Park were repaid in August 2019 in connection with the completion of Dave’s equity financing in which Dave issued shares of Series B-1 preferred stock of Dave for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $50 million.

On January 27, 2021, certain affiliates of Victory Park entered into a $100 million delayed draw credit facility with Dave in order to finance the future growth of Dave’s advance portfolio and accelerate growth of certain of Dave’s products through marketing initiatives. There were no discussions between VPCC and Dave in respect of a potential business combination or other transaction at the time Victory Park entered into such facility. As part of such credit facility transaction, the affiliates of Victory Park were also issued warrants to purchase shares of Dave’s capital stock representing approximately 1% of the fully diluted equity of Dave, if all such warants were to vest. (See “—Interests of Certain VPCC Persons in the Business Combination” below for additional details on the delayed draw credit facility and the warrants).

On March 22, 2021, Dave’s management team, including Kyle Beilman (Chief Financial Officer), met with representatives of Centerview Partners LLC (“Centerview”), who acted as Dave’s investment banker in

138

connection with the Business Combination, to discuss Dave’s growth plans and the possibility of entering into a transaction with a special purpose acquisition company (“SPAC”), along with a number of other potential transaction structures, including an initial public offering, acquisition or other financing alternatives, including further equity financings. Following such meeting and Dave’s engagement of Centerview, Centerview met with over 15 private companies and over 10 SPACs as part of its broader outreach to solicit proposals for transactions with Dave.

Centerview identified VPCC as a potential SPAC for a transaction with Dave, and on March 25, 2021, and March 26, 2021, certain members of VPCC’s management team and Victory Park’s management team, including Gordon Watson (VPCC’s Co-Chief Executive Officer), Jason Brown (a Partner at Victory Park and a member of the firm’s investment committee) and Kinan Hayani (a Principal at Victory Park), had an introductory telephone call with representatives of Centerview on which members of VPCC’s management team discussed their initial perspectives on the current market for SPAC transactions and the structuring of a potential business combination between Dave and VPCC.

On March 26, 2021, Centerview granted representatives of VPCC and Victory Park access to an online data room (the “Data Room”) that contained, among other things, documents covering Dave’s historical and projected financials and an investor presentation prepared by Centerview describing the background of Dave’s business, Dave’s growth plans and various business combination highlights. On the same day, VPCC sent such materials to representatives of Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (“Citigroup”), who acted as one of VPCC’s underwriters in the IPO, and discussed Citigroup’s interests in serving as a capital markets advisors and co-placement agent with respect to the PIPE Investment to occur concurrently with the proposed business combination transaction. Thereafter, on June 6, 2021, VPCC formally executed an engagement letter with Citigroup to serve as a capital markets advisors to VPCC in connection with the proposed business combination and the PIPE Investment related thereto. On October 5, 2021, VPCC formally executed an engagement letter with Jefferies to serve as a capital markets advisors to VPCC in connection with the proposed business combination and the PIPE Investment related thereto. Citigroup and Jefferies, as VPCC’s underwriters in the IPO and as co-placement agents and capital markets advisors in connection with the Business Combination, will be entitled to receive a deferred underwriting commission of approximately $4,440,904 upon completion of the Business Combination, in addition to a fee based on the percentage of funds raised in the PIPE Investment, and Jefferies, as one of the underwriters in the IPO and as a placement agent in connection with the Business Combination, will be entitled to receive a deferred underwriting commission of approximately $4,440,904 upon completion of the Business Combination and a fee based on the percentage of funds raised in the PIPE Investment.

On March 28, 2021, certain members of VPCC’s management team and representatives of Victory Park, including Messrs. Brown and Hayani, had a telephone call with representatives of Citigroup to discuss the opportunity of a potential business combination with Dave.

Between March 26, 2021 and March 30, 2021, VPCC’s management team, in conjunction with Victory Park’s investment team, conducted due diligence on Dave, including an in-depth review of the financial statements and financial models prepared by Dave’s management and research on the market and competitive companies, and thereafter prepared presentation materials that compared Dave’s historical and projected financials with competitive companies. Following such due diligence, certain members of VPCC’s management team and representatives of Victory Park, including John Martin (VPCC’s Chairman of the board), Mr. Watson, Mr. Brown and Mr. Hayani, had a follow-up call with representatives of Centerview on March 30, 2021, to discuss VPCC’s preliminary views on an initial valuation of Dave, considering a number of valuation methodologies including valuations of competitive companies. On such call, Centerview encouraged VPCC to submit a term sheet based on such initial valuation and preliminary structuring considerations discussed on the call.

On April 1, 2021, VPCC’s management team and representatives of Victory Park, including Mr. Brown and Mr. Hayani, had a follow-up call with representatives of Citigroup to discuss the due diligence conducted by VPCC’s management team and representatives of Victory Park and the proposed business combination with

139

Dave, and to schedule a call with representatives of Citigroup and Dave to further discuss the opportunity. On the same day, Jason Wilk (Chief Executive Officer of Dave), following a conversation with Centerview, reached out to Mr. Brown to express a desire to have VPCC submit a term sheet in respect of a potential business combination with Dave.

Between April 2, 2021, and April 6, 2021, VPCC’s management team, in conjunction with Victory Park’s investment team, continued a due diligence review of Dave’s historical and projected financials, including the historical stability of Dave’s revenue.

On April 6, 2021, certain members of VPCC’s and Dave’s management teams, including Mr. Watson, Mr. Brown and Mr. Hayani, and representatives of Centerview, Citigroup and Victory Park, met via telephone on which they discussed, among other things, Dave’s management team, Dave’s current business, Dave’s business profile, as well as market trends, potential transaction timeline and potential participants in PIPE Investment.

On April 9, 2021, Mr. Wilk spoke with Mr. Brown via telephone to discuss Tiger Global Management LLC (“Tiger Global”), a private equity firm with a focus in the fintech sector with a history in participating in PIPE investments in connection with SPAC transactions, and its potential involvement in the PIPE Investment that would occur simultaneously with the potential business combination, and informed Mr. Brown that a different SPAC had a term sheet with Dave that such SPAC was prepared to imminently execute.

On April 10, 2021, Representatives from Victory Park, including Mr. Brown and Mr. Hayani, had a follow-up call with representatives of Citigroup to further discuss the proposed business combination with Dave, and the proposed terms of an initial letter of intent with Dave (the “LOI”).

On April 10, 2021, April 11, 2021 and April 12, 2021, VPCC’s management team and representatives from Victory Park, including Brendan Carroll (VPCC’s Co-Chief Executive Officer and director on VPCC’s board), Mr. Watson, Mr. Brown and Mr. Hayani, had calls with its legal counsel, White & Case LLP (“White & Case”), to discuss the terms of the initial draft of the LOI.

On April 12, 2021, VPCC held a board meeting by telephone and videoconference to discuss and deliberate regarding the proposed transaction with Dave. Prior to the board meeting, the VPCC Board was provided copies of, among other things, (i) the proposed initial draft of the LOI, (ii) the presentation prepared by Dave providing an overview of its business and market, as well as Dave’s growth plans and various transaction highlights, (iii) transaction projections and valuation overviews, and (iv) financial models prepared by VPCC’s management team based on VPCC’s due diligence efforts detailed above. Mr. Martin, VPCC’s Chairman of the board, presided over the meeting, with members of VPCC’s management and Victory Park’s investment team, including Mr. Hayani, providing the VPCC Board with a summary of the history of the proposed transaction, including a brief discussion on how VPCC arrived at the proposed enterprise value and the proposed size of the PIPE Investment and the proposed minimum cash condition given (a) consideration of the valuations of other companies in Dave’s market and related markets, (b) VPCC’s established relationships with potential investors in the PIPE Investment, and (c) the go-forward liquidity needs of the combined company for purposes of furthering product development and market reach. The VPCC Board asked questions and engaged in discussion and deliberation regarding the anticipated potential risks and hurdles to a successful closing of the transaction with Dave, as well as Victory Park’s current relationship with Dave, which was viewed favorably. Following such discussions, the VPCC Board approved VPCC’s submission of the proposed initial draft of the LOI.

Shortly after such board meeting, VPCC sent to Dave an initial draft of the LOI. The LOI reflected a fully diluted enterprise value of Dave of $3.5 billion, in addition to certain other transaction terms, including the proposed size of the PIPE Investment, which would include a $150 million investment by Tiger Global, a minimum cash condition of $250 million, 12-month and 6-month lock-up restrictions on behalf of the Founder Holders and the Dave Stockholders, respectively (subject to early release if certain share price targets are met following closing), and terms of the high-vote Combined Company Class V Common Stock to be received by Mr. Wilk in connection with the Mergers, which Combined Company Class V Common Stock would entitle Mr. Wilk to 10 votes per share on all matters submitted to the stockholders of the Combined Company for note and would

140

provide Mr. Wilk with the ability to control the outcome of matters requiring stockholder approval. VPCC’s management team considered the high-vote Combined Company Class V Common Stock as potential incentivization for Mr. Wilk to continue to assist Dave effectuate its long-term strategy, and considered the appropriateness of such high-vote Combined Company Class V Common Stock to the extent standard “sunset” provisions were reflected in the transaction documents. VPCC’s management team believes that Dave’s success rests on its ability to undertake a long-term view, and Mr. Wilk’s controlling interest will enhance Dave’s ability to focus on long-term value creation and help insulate Dave from short-term outside influences. On the same day, certain members of VPCC’s management team, including Mr. Carroll and Mr. Watson, met via telephone with representatives of Centerview, Dave, Victory Park, including Mr. Brown and Mr. Hayani, and Citigroup to discuss the broader SPAC and PIPE markets and proposed transaction timeline.

On April 13, 2021, Dave circulated to VPCC a revised draft of the LOI reflecting, among other things, a larger amount for the proposed PIPE Investment, a larger amount for the minimum cash condition and a proposed earnout pursuant to which the stockholders of Dave could receive additional shares of the combined company following the closing of the potential business combination.

Following discussions with White & Case and representatives of Victory Park and VPCC, including Mr. Watson, Mr. Brown and Mr. Hayani, on April 14, 2021, VPCC sent Dave a revised draft of the LOI reflecting, among other things, a lower minimum cash condition and the removal of the proposed earnout applicable to Dave Stockholders.

Throughout the day of April 14, 2021 and April 15, 2021, VPCC and its advisors, including, but not limited to White & Case and Katten Muchin Roseman LLP (“Katten”), VPCC’s regulatory counsel, reviewed documents provided by Dave, and held several diligence calls with Dave, Dave’s legal counsel, Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP (“Orrick”), to discuss and understand certain aspects of White & Case’s preliminary legal due diligence review.

On April 15, 2021, certain members of VPCC’s management team, including Mr. Watson, and representatives of Citigroup and Centerview had calls to discuss a proposed transaction timeline and the terms of the LOI circulated by VPCC. That same day, Dave circulated a revised draft of the LOI to VPCC which, among other things, generally reflected the terms proposed by VPCC, other than a lower proposed amount for the PIPE Investment of $210,000,000. During the remainder of the day of April 15, 2021, and April 16, 2021, VPCC and Dave, in conjunction with their respective legal counsels, continued to negotiate various points of the transaction (including inclusion of certain forfeiture obligations in respect of the VPCC Class B Stock by the Founder Holders in certain scenarios based upon the magnitude of Public Stockholder redemptions and the performance of the Combined Company Common Stock following the closing of any business combination, the mechanics of the Repurchase, and the requirements to deliver Support Agreements), and traded multiple revised drafts of the LOI to reflect the parties’ positions and/or agreements with respect to such points.

On April 16, 2021, VPCC held a board meeting by telephone and videoconference to discuss and deliberate regarding the proposed business combination with Dave and the terms and agreements in the proposed LOI. Prior to the board meeting, the VPCC Board was provided copies of, among other things, (i) the then-current draft of the LOI, (ii) information on the due diligence conducted by VPCC and its legal counsel, and (iii) an illustrative transaction timeline. John Martin presided over the meeting, with members of VPCC’s management and Victory Park’s investment team, including Mr. Hayani, providing the VPCC Board with a summary of the negotiations surrounding the LOI, including a detailed discussion on the material updates to the terms and agreements therein since the initial draft of the LOI circulated to the VPCC Board. Members of VPCC’s management highlighted that the proposed transaction with Dave included an obligation to raise the PIPE Investment, and noted Tiger Global’s commitment to invest (or cause its affiliates to invest) at least $150 million of the total PIPE Investment, as a means of indicating that the proposed valuation will be well-received by the broader PIPE market. The VPCC Board asked questions and engaged in discussion and deliberation regarding the anticipated potential risks and hurdles to a successful closing of the transaction with Dave. Following such discussions, the VPCC Board approved VPCC’s execution and delivery of the LOI as proposed.

141

On the afternoon of April 16, 2021, following final revisions to certain of the legal provisions of the LOI, VPCC and Dave executed the LOI, which contained, among other things, mutual exclusivity provisions that expired on the earlier of (i) the signing of the Merger Agreement, (ii) 45 days following the execution of the LOI and (iii) the mutual written consent of Dave and VPCC, and reflected a fully diluted enterprise value of Dave of $3.5 billion.

VPCC’s Board of Directors’ Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination

Before reaching its decision on June 1, 2021, the VPCC Board consulted with its management team, legal counsel and other advisors. The VPCC Board considered a variety of factors in connection with its evaluation of the Business Combination in approving and recommending the transaction to the VPCC Stockholders. In light of the complexity of those factors, the VPCC Board did not consider it practicable to, nor did it attempt to, quantify or otherwise assign relative weights to the specific factors it took into account in reaching its decision. Different individual members of the VPCC Board may have given different weight to different factors in their evaluation of the Business Combination. Among those factors, the VPCC Board reviewed the results of due diligence conducted by VPCC’s management and legal advisors, which included:

•

Public research on the neobank industry and related industries, which affirmed VPCC’s belief that there is significant white space opportunity for the broader disruption of legacy financial services and the differentiated product suite of Dave relative to alternative neobank competitors which, in many instances, have a slower speed to value than Dave;

•

A review of Dave’s historical financial performance and forecasts including revenues, sale projections, capital expenditures, cash flow and other relevant financial and operating metrics. This review included a thorough and robust diligence of Dave’s different revenue drivers, customer adoption rate of the Dave banking product, average rate of growth, average revenue per user and customer acquisition cost in relation to the average account balances, customer acquisition costs, benchmarked where possible, against peer companies such as MoneyLion and SoFi based on publicly available information. In recommending the Business Combination, the VPCC Board acknowledged Dave’s rapidly growing userbase starting with approximately 1.1 million users in 2018 and a projected 11.4 million users in 2023, potential for achieving projected revenues of $533 million in 2023 looking at Dave’s historical performance and its opportunity for growth, the relatively low customer acquisition costs which drive elevated lifetime unit economics, superior equity capital efficiency per user to date, and the significant cross sell opportunity for Dave to offer existing member’s banking and other services, which VPCC believes meaningfully increases the average revenue per user;

•

Conference call meetings with Dave’s management team and representatives regarding operations, company products and services, intellectual property, end market industries, total available market for each industry and growth prospects, among other customary due diligence matters, which validated the VPCC Board’s view that Dave maintained best-in-class management and operations and supported the broader growth trajectory of the business;

•

Customary confirmatory financial and accounting due diligence, which did not reveal any material adverse findings; and

•

The prospective financial information of Dave set forth in the materials provided by Dave.

As detailed above, the prospectus for the VPCC IPO identified the general criteria and guidelines that VPCC believed would be important in evaluating prospective target businesses, although VPCC also indicated it may enter into a business combination with a target business that does not meet these criteria and guidelines. The VPCC Board considered these factors in its evaluation of Dave.

Dave’s Business and Market Share. VPCC sought to acquire a business that it believes has a high-growth fintech business which operates within large and expanding markets with significant whitespace opportunity.

VPCC believes that Dave’s “Insights”, “ExtraCash” and “Side Hustle” platforms are high-growth fintech businesses. Increasing adoption rates for neobanks and alternatives to traditional banks is exemplified by the rise in popularity of companies such as MoneyLion, Sofi, Square and others. As further discussed below, VPCC believes the differentiation of Dave’s business compared to other neobank companies in such market provides Dave with a competitive edge within the disruptive ecosystem.

Scale and Differentiation. VPCC intended to pursue companies that are of meaningful scale and whose products and/or services differentiate it from others and create meaningful competitive advantages.

VPCC believes Dave satisfies this criteria as a result of (a) the integration between Dave’s differentiated product suite, (b) Dave’s satisfaction rates with its consumers identified in the third-party consumer research commissioned by Dave, and (c) the visibility into Member behavior through Dave’s use of machine learning. VPCC believes that Dave’s integration between its differentiated product suite provides its Members with seamless access to all of Dave’s products and will make Dave’s platform the preferred neobank platform for a growing number of consumers. Additionally, VPCC believes that Dave’s satisfaction rates with its Members should lead to loyal Members and increased word-of-mouth support of its brand, which should result in a pricing advantage compared against its competitors due to reduced Member acquisition costs. VPCC further believes that Dave’s visibility into Member behavior through Dave’s use of machine learning should increase engagement of its Members and enhance its Member lifetime value at no additional Member acquisition costs, which VPCC believes will create meaningful competitive advantages vis-à-vis new potential entrants into the market.

Cash Flow Generation. VPCC sought to acquire a business that operates a superior unit economic model which either currently or over time is expected to generate profitable, stable and predictable cash flow generation for the business.

VPCC believes that Dave satisfies this criteria because it has a diverse revenue generation model that can monetize transactions through a variety of revenue streams, which VPCC believes is expected to generate profitable, stable and predictable cash flow generation. Dave’s product integration, Member loyalty and use of machine learning is expected to result reduced Member acquisition costs that provide pricing advantages as compared to similar companies, and is expected to enhance its Member lifetime value and average revenue per user, all of which VPCC believes results in strong unit economics.

Capital Inflection Point. VPCC intended to pursue companies that are at a capital inflection point where significant risk-adjusted shareholder value can be generated through a business combination resulting in access to the broader equity capital markets to drive growth.

VPCC believes that Dave satisfies this criteria. Utilizing the approximately $64 million of capital invested in Dave to date, Dave has built a platform that has been used by approximately 10 million Members since the platform’s launch in 2017. Dave plans to use the cash it will receive in connection with the Business Combination (or at least a substantial portion thereof) to acquire and build additional functionality in its platform and grow its Member base to grow its market share.

Management Team. VPCC sought to acquire a business that possesses a best-in-class management team with a track record of success in driving growth and profitability within the fintech market.

145

VPCC believes that Dave’s satisfaction of this criteria is exemplified by the experience of Dave’s management team in building Dave and their experience prior to joining Dave, which includes (a) Jason Wilk’s (the Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Dave) experience gained while acting as the Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of 1DaySports.com and AllScreen.TV, and as a Co-Founder of WriteyBoard, (b) Kyle Beilman’s (Dave’s Chief Financial Officer) experience gained while working in investment banking at Moelis & Company and Centerview Partners, (c) John Wolanin’s (Dave’s Co-Founder) experience gained while acting as a Senior Product Architect and Head of Design at Honey and Co-Founder of Wax Music and Beastly Creative, (d) Paras Chitrakar’s (Dave’s Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer) experience gained while working as a Software Developer at Oversee.net, a Co-Founder of ResumeBucket.com and a Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer of AllScreen.TV, (e) Shannon Sullivan’s (Dave’s Chief People Officer) experience gained while acting as a Consultant at Mercer, a Principal at Axiom Consulting Partners, and as Senior Vice President of Talent & Organization at Hulu, (f) John Ricci’s (Dave’s General Counsel) experience gained while acting as a Branch Chief and Staff Attorney and the SEC, an Associate at Strategic Law Partners, LLP and the General Counsel of Green Dot Corporation, (g) Chien Chou’s (Dave’ Executive Vice President of Engineering) experience gained while acting as a Principal Member of Technical Staff at Salesforce.com, a Vice President of Engineering at LOYAL3, a Co-Founder of GreenTea Health, a Head of Engineering at Stockpile Inc., a Vice President of Technology at Lending Club and a Vice President of Engineering at Flexport, (h) Mia Alexander’s (Dave’s Vice President of Support) experience gained while acting as a Vice President of Customer Care at Green Dot Corporation, (i) Grahame Fraser’s (Dave’s Head of Product) experience gained while acting as a Head of eLearning Alliances and Operations at Cornerstone OnDemand, a Product Manager at LRN, a Senior Product Manager at Fox Sports Interactive, a Product Lead (Mobile and Advanced Platforms) at Fox Sports, a Global Product Management Lead (Movies and TV) at Yahoo!, a Vice President of Product Management (Member Experience, Data Science and Analytics) at Nordstromrack.com, HauteLook, and a Chief Product Officer of Tamara Mellon, (j) Kate Holmes’ (Dave’s Vice President of Design) experience gained while acting as a Senior Director (Design) at Walmart eCommerce, and (k) Brian Li’s (Dave’s Vice President of Business Operations) experience gained while acting as a Senior Manager of Corporate Development at LinkedIn, a Director of Business Operations at Lynda.com (acquired by LinkedIn), and a Vice President of Business Operations and Partnerships at Mezi (acquired by American Express).

VPCC believes that this experience, as well as the related track record of each member of Dave’s management team, shows that Dave possesses a best-in-class management team with a track record of success in driving growth and profitability. See the section entitled “Information Above Dave” beginning on page 197 of this proxy statement/prospectus for a more detailed description of Dave’s current management team.

Risk Management, Underwriting, Data Analytics, Monitoring and Reporting Processes. VPCC intended to pursue companies that maintain superior and scalable risk management, underwriting, data analytics, monitoring and reporting processes.

VPCC believes that Dave satisfies this criteria because (a) it maintains a robust and multi-faceted risk management process, (b) it combines aggregate data it receives across all of its products with individualized historical spending and income data for each Member using its proprietary machine-learning algorithm to enable quality underwriting in a matter of minutes and (c) it has developed monitoring and reporting systems to meet the obligations inherent in its bank partnership model and to comply with applicable laws and regulations including the federal Truth in Lending Act, the Electronic Fund Transfer Act, AML laws and federal and state data privacy and security requirements.

Financial Inclusion and Value Creation. VPCC sought to acquire a business that it believes can promote financial inclusion and provide significant value to the underlying end consumer or enterprise through a lowering of transaction costs or through providing access to high-quality financial services.

VPCC believes that Dave satisfies this criteria, which is exemplified by the fact that Dave’s current products have helped consumers avoid approximately $1 billion in overdraft fees and has helped its Members submit over 4 million job applications through its job portal service, Side Hustle, which enables Members to view potential opportunities for supplemental work, primarily in flexible, part-time roles,with modest Member adoption costs.

146

Superior Technology Compared to Alternatives. The VPCC Board believes that Dave’s platform is superior to existing products on the market, with a lower cost as compared to other neobank and reduced Member acquisition costs that expand the growth opportunities of Dave’s technology. The VPCC Board believes that these factors will enable Dave to increase its market share and introduce its products into a variety of different markets.

Other Alternatives. The VPCC Board believes, after a thorough review of other business combination opportunities reasonably available to VPCC, that the proposed Business Combination represents the best potential initial business combination for VPCC based upon the process utilized to evaluate and assess other potential acquisition targets.

PIPE Commitment. The PIPE Investors have committed to purchase $210 million in shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock at $10.00 per share.

Dave Stockholders’ Retained Interest. Dave Stockholders are rolling 100% of their equity and will own an approximately 86.5% stake in the Combined Company (assuming the no redemption scenario and calculated based upon certain assumptions as described in the section entitled “The Business Combination and the Merger Agreement—Ownership after the Closing” beginning on page 115 of this proxy statement/prospectus), which shows an ongoing equity commitment.

In recommending the proposed transaction, the VPCC Board considered whether the consideration to be paid to Dave’s stockholders was fair from a financial perspective to VPCC’s stockholders. Although the VPCC Board did not seek a third-party valuation, and did not receive a valuation opinion from any third party in connection with the Business Combination, the VPCC Board relied on VPCC’s management team’s collective experience in public market transactions in constructing and evaluating financial models and projections and conducting valuations of businesses. Based on these various factors, the VPCC Board concluded that a fully diluted pre-Closing enterprise value of Dave of $3.5 billion is a fair and reasonable valuation. In making such determination, the VPCC Board considered (a) the implied valuation of Dave’s peer group, which included MoneyLion, SoFi, eToro, Upstart, Square, OpenLending, Affirm and Afterpay (the “Peer Group”), and (b) Dave’s growth prospects, business strategy, market-leading platform and other compelling aspects of the Business Combination. The VPCC Board believed that the consideration paid for Dave represented an attractive initial valuation relative to Dave’s publicly traded Peer Group, which was also affirmed by the market reaction to the valuation evidenced by the early commitment by Tiger Global to invest (or cause its affiliates to invest) at least $150 million of the total PIPE Investment at such valuation.

The VPCC Board also gave consideration to certain negative factors (which are more fully described in the section entitled “Risk Factors” beginning on page 42 of this proxy statement/prospectus, although not weighted or in any order of significance).

The risk that VPCC’s Public Stockholders would vote against the Business Combination Proposal or exercise their redemption rights

The VPCC Board considered the risk that some of the current Public Stockholders would vote against the Business Combination Proposal or decide to exercise their redemption rights, thereby reducing the amount of cash available in the Trust Account to an amount below the minimum amount required to consummate the Business Combination. The VPCC Board concluded, however, that the risk was mitigated because of the aggregate amount of commitments by the PIPE Investors is equal to the minimum amount of available cash required to consummate the Business Combination. Further, the fact that Public Shareholders may vote for the Business Combination Proposal while also exercising their redemption rights mitigates incentive for a Public Shareholders to vote against the Business Combination Proposal, especially to the extent that they hold Public Warrants which would be worthless if the Business Combination is not completed.

147

VPCC’s management, the VPCC Board and affiliates of the Sponsor may have different interests in the Business Combination than the Public Shareholders

The VPCC Board considered the fact that members of VPCC’s management, the VPCC Board and affiliates of the Sponsor may have interests that are different from, or are in addition to, the interests of VPCC’s Public Stockholders generally, including the matters described under “The Business Combination Proposal—Certain Benefits of VPCC’s Directors and Officers and Others in the Business Combination” beginning on page 163 of this proxy statement/prospectus. However, the VPCC Board concluded that the potentially disparate interests would be mitigated because (a) these interests were disclosed in the IPO prospectus or disclosed herein and (b) these disparate interests may exist or may be even greater with respect to a business combination with any other target company, depending on the substantive terms and timing of any such alternative business combination.

The VPCC Board also considered a variety of additional uncertainties and risks and other potentially negative factors concerning the Business Combination, including, but not limited to, the following:

Liquidation of VPCC. The risks and costs to VPCC if the Business Combination is not completed, including the risk of diverting management focus and resources from other initial business combination opportunities, which could result in VPCC being unable to effect an initial business combination by March 9, 2023 and force the Company to liquidate and the warrants to expire worthless.

Competition. The fact that there are a number of companies competing in the neobank industry and the possibility that Dave may be unable to attract and retain additional Members, or the possibility that one of its competitors may be able to develop new technology or business strategies that may negatively impact Dave’s operations and growth prospects.

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

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

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

Public Company Status. The requirements of being a public company, including compliance with the SEC’s requirements regarding internal control over financial reporting, may strain the Combined Company’s resources and divert management’s attention, and the increases in legal, accounting and compliance expenses that will result from the Business Combination may be greater than the Combined Company anticipates.

Satisfaction of the 80% Test

It is a requirement under the Existing Charter and Nasdaq listing requirements that the target business acquired in VPCC’s initial business combination have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the balance of the funds in the Trust Account at the time of the execution of a definitive agreement for VPCC’s initial business combination. As of June 7, 2021, the date of the execution of the Merger Agreement, the balance of funds held in the Trust Account was at least $253,777,850.43, and 80% thereof represents approximately $203,022,280. The VPCC Board considered all of the factors described above and the fact that the aggregate consideration for Dave was the result of arm’s length negotiations with Dave. As a result, the VPCC Board concluded that the fair market value of the business acquired was in excess of 80% of the assets held in the Trust Account (excluding any taxes payable on the interest earned on the Trust Account). In light of the financial background and experience of the members of VPCC’s management team and the VPCC Board, the VPCC Board believes that the members of the management team and the VPCC Board are qualified to determine whether the Business Combination meets the 80% test.

148

Interests of the Dave Directors and Executive Officers

Dave’s directors and executive officers have interests in the Business Combination that are different from, or in addition to, those of the VPCC Stockholders and warrant holders generally. These interests include, among other things, the interests listed below:

Treatment of Dave Equity Awards in the Business Combination

Under the Merger Agreement, all outstanding Dave Options (other than Dave Non-Plan Options, which will be cancelled as of the Closing) and awards of Dave Restricted Stock granted by Dave prior to the Closing will be converted to awards for an adjusted number of shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock (and in the case of Dave Options, an adjusted exercise price), which will otherwise be subject to same terms and conditions as were in effect prior to the Closing. See the section titled “The Business Combination and the Merger Agreement—Treatment of Dave Equity Interests” for more information.

The amounts listed in the table below represent (i) the number of Rollover Options (whether vested or unvested) and shares of Rollover Restricted Stock held, as of June 30, 2021, on an estimated as-converted basis, by each individual who has been an executive officer or director of Dave since the beginning of the 2020 fiscal year, and (ii) the estimated intrinsic value of each executive officer and director’s stock options (whether vested or unvested) and restricted stock awards. “Intrinsic value” for purposes of stock options refers to the amount equal to (i) the excess of (a) $10.00 over (b) the exercise price of the option multiplied by (ii) the number of shares subject to the option. “Intrinsic value” for purposes of restricted stock refers to the amount equal to (i) $10.00 multiplied by (ii) the number of shares. The table below assumes an estimated exchange ratio of 1.360523.


Name	Options		Intrinsic Value		Restricted Stock			Intrinsic Value
Jason Wilk		11,515,201	$	109,063,100		—			—
Kyle Beilman		899,273	$	8,963,614		739,687	⁽¹⁾	$	7,369,877

(1)	Represents restricted stock issued upon early exercise of previously granted options.

Certain Other Equity Interests of Dave Officers and Directors

The amounts listed in the table below represent the number of shares of vested stock held, as of June 30, 2021 and on an estimated as-converted to Combined Company Class A Common Stock or Combined Company Class V Common Stock basis, by each individual who has been an executive officer or director of Dave since the beginning of the 2020 fiscal year. “Intrinsic value” in the case of such shares refers to the amount equal to (i) $10.00 multiplied by (ii) the number of shares. The table below assumes an estimated exchange ratio of 1.360523.


Name	Vested Stock			Intrinsic Value
Jason Wilk		79,659,106	⁽¹⁾	$	796,591,068
Kyle Beilman		2,126,682	⁽²⁾	$	21,266,827

(1)	Represents shares of Combined Company Class V Common Stock.

(2)	Represents shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock.

Repurchase Agreement

Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, VPCC, Dave, Mr. Wilk and Mr. Beilman, entered into the Repurchase Agreement, pursuant to which, among other things, VPCC has agreed to repurchase a certain number of shares of Combined Company Common Stock from the Selling Holders (including shares of Combined Company Class V Common Stock issued to Mr. Wilk in connection with the Transactions), at a purchase price of $10.00 per share, on the business day immediately following the effective time of the Second Merger. The Repurchase is contingent on the amount of VPCC Available Cash being in excess of $300 million.

149

If VPCC Available Cash exceeds $300 million, the number of shares of Combined Company Common Stock subject to the Repurchase will be equal to the amount by which VPCC Available Cash exceeds $300 million, divided by $10.00 (provided that in no event will the Aggregate Repurchase Price exceed $60 million). 80% of the number of shares of Combined Company Common Stock subject to the Repurchase will be allocated to Mr. Wilk, with Mr. Beilman allocated the remaining 20%. For more information on the Repurchase Agreement, please see the section titled “The Business Combination and the Merger Agreement—Certain Agreements Related to the Business Combination—Repurchase Agreement.”

Director Compensation

In connection with the Business Combination, the Combined Company board of directors will adopt a new non-employee director compensation policy to govern the Combined Company effective as of the Closing. It is anticipated that the new non-employee director compensation policy will provide for annual cash retainers and certain equity awards that will be granted following the Business Combination. For more information on the non-employee director compensation policy, see the section titled “Executive Compensation—Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy” below.

Interests of Certain VPCC Persons in the Business Combination

When you consider the recommendation of the VPCC Board in favor of approval of the Business Combination Proposal and the other Proposals included herein, you should keep in mind that the Sponsor and VPCC’s directors have interests in such Proposal that are different from, or in addition to, those of the VPCC Stockholders and warrant holders generally. The VPCC Board was aware of and considered these interests, among other matters, in evaluating and negotiating the Business Combination and Merger Agreement and in recommending to our stockholders that they vote in favor of the Proposals presented at the Special Meeting, including the Business Combination Proposal. VPCC Stockholders should take these interests into account in deciding whether to approve the Proposals presented at the Special Meeting, including the Business Combination Proposal. These interests include, among other things:

•

If we do not consummate a business combination by March 9, 2023 (or if such date is extended at a duly called meeting of the VPCC Stockholders, such later date), we would: (1) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (2) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten(10) 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 VPCC Stockholders’ rights as VPCC Stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any); and (3) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining VPCC Stockholders and the VPCC Board, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to our obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. In such event, the 6,284,150 shares of VPCC Class B Common Stock owned by our Sponsor and the 60,000 shares of VPCC Class B Common Stock owned by the Current Independent Directors would be worthless because following the redemption of the Public Shares, we would likely have few, if any, net assets and because the Sponsor and each of VPCC’s officers and directors have agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such shares if we fail to complete a business combination within the required period. Additionally, in such event, the 5,100,214 Private Placement Warrants that the Sponsor paid $7,650,321 for will expire worthless. All of VPCC’s officers and directors have a direct or indirect economic interest in such shares. The 6,344,150 shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock that the Initial Stockholders and their permitted transferees will hold following the Business Combination, if unrestricted and freely tradable, would have had aggregate market value of approximately $62,997,409.50 based upon the closing price of $9.93 per share of VPCC Class A Common Stock on the NYSE on October 5, 2021, the most recent practicable date prior to the date of

150

this proxy statement/prospectus. Given such shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock will be subject to certain restrictions, we believe such shares have less value. The 5,100,214 Private Placement Warrants that the Sponsor will hold following the Business Combination (assuming the no redemption scenario), if unrestricted and freely tradable, would have had an aggregate market value of approximately $8,925,374.50 based upon the closing price of $1.75 per warrant on the NYSE on October 5, 2021, the most recent practicable date prior to the date of this proxy statement/prospectus.

•

Affiliates of Victory Park entered into a financing agreement with Dave on January 27, 2021 (the “Existing Financing Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, such affiliates of Victory Park have provided Dave with a $100 million delayed draw credit facility in order to finance the growth of Dave’s advance portfolio and accelerate growth of certain of Dave’s products through marketing initiatives. The amounts drawn under the Existing Financing Agreement generally accrue an interest rate equal to the sum of (i) 2.55% per annum (or the London Interbank Offered Rate last quoted by the Wall Street Journal for despots of U.S. Dollars for a period of three months on the last business day of each calendar month, whichever is higher) plus (ii) 6.95% per annum on the portion of the outstanding balance of amounts drawn that is less than or equal to $50 million, plus (iii) 5.95% per annum on the portion of the outstanding balance of amounts drawn that is greater than $50 million and less than or equal to $75 million, plus (iv) 5.45% per annum on the portion of the outstanding balance of amounts drawn that is greater than $75 million. The Existing Financing Agreement also includes, among other terms, representations and warranties on behalf Dave and its subsidiaries, rights of such affiliates of Victory Park in the event of certain specified events of defaults, provisions regarding repayment of outstanding amounts drawn, and prohibitions on certain actions by Dave and its subsidiaries. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, $30 million has been drawn by Dave under the Existing Financing Agreement. The parties anticipate that the Existing Financing Agreement will remain in place following the Closing of the Business Combination, and as such affiliates of Victory Park will be creditors of Dave following the consummation of the Business Combination.

•

•

the continuation of Brendan Carroll, one of our existing directors, as a director of the Combined Company following the Closing.

•

Our officers were not permitted to become a director or officer of any other blank check company until we entered into a definitive agreement regarding an initial business combination.

•

Our Sponsor and the Current Independent Directors will lose their entire investment in us if an initial business combination is not completed.

•

The existence of financial and personal interests of one or more of VPCC’s directors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of such director(s) between what he or they may believe is in the best interests of VPCC and its stockholders and what he or they may believe is best for himself or themselves in determining to recommend that stockholders vote for the Proposals.

152

combination with Dave and influencing the operation of the business following the initial business combination. In considering the recommendations of VPCC’s board of directors to vote for the Proposals, its stockholders should consider these interests.

Certain Forecasted Financial Information for Dave

Dave provided VPCC with its internally prepared forecasts for each of the years in the three-year period ending December 31, 2023. Dave does not, as a matter of general practice, publicly disclose long-term forecasts or internal projections of its future performance, revenue, financial condition or other results. However, in connection with the proposed Business Combination, management of Dave prepared the financial projections set forth below to present key elements of the forecasts provided to VPCC. VPCC is including the following summary of certain Dave internal, unaudited prospective financial information from Dave’s management team’s projections for the Combined Company post-Business Combination solely because that information was made available to the VPCC Board in connection with the evaluation of the Business Combination. Dave’s forecasts were prepared solely for internal use and not with a view toward public disclosure, the published guidelines of the SEC regarding projections or the guidelines established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants for the preparation and presentation of prospective financial information, but, in the view of Dave’s management team, was prepared on a reasonable basis, reflects currently available estimates and judgments and presents, to management’s knowledge and belief, the expected course of action and the expected future financial performance.

The inclusion of financial projections in this proxy statement/prospectus should not be regarded as an indication that VPCC, Dave, their respective boards of directors, or their respective affiliates, advisors or other representatives considered, or now consider, such financial projections necessarily to be predictive of actual future results or to support or fail to support your decision whether to vote for or against the Business Combination Proposal. The financial projections are not fact and should not be relied upon as being necessarily indicative of future results, and readers of this proxy statement/prospectus, including investors or stockholders, are cautioned not to place undue reliance on this information. Dave does not intend to reference these financial projections in its future periodic reports filed under the Exchange Act.

The financial projections reflect numerous estimates and assumptions with respect to general business, economic, industry, regulatory, market and financial conditions and trends and other future events, as well as matters specific to Dave’s business, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond Dave’s and VPCC’s control. The financial projections are forward-looking statements that are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond Dave’s and VPCC’s control and Dave’s limited operating history makes evaluating its business and future prospects, including the assumptions and analyses developed by Dave upon which operating and financial results forecast rely, difficult and uncertain. The various risks and uncertainties include those set forth in the sections entitled “Risk Factors,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of Dave” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.” As a result, there can be no assurance that the projected results will be realized or that actual results will not be significantly higher or lower than projected. Since the financial projections cover multiple years, such information by its nature becomes less reliable with each successive year. These financial projections are subjective in many respects and thus are susceptible to multiple interpretations and periodic revisions based on actual experience and business developments.

Furthermore, the financial projections do not take into account any circumstances or events occurring after the date they were prepared. None of Dave’s independent registered accounting firm, VPCC’s independent registered accounting firm or any other independent accountants, have compiled, examined or performed any procedures with respect to the financial projections included below, nor have they expressed any opinion or any other form of assurance on such information or their accuracy or achievability, and they assume no responsibility for, and disclaim any association with, the financial projections. Nonetheless, a summary of the financial projections is provided in this proxy statement/prospectus because they were made available to VPCC and the VPCC Board in connection with its review of the proposed Business Combination.

153

EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE FEDERAL SECURITIES LAWS, BY INCLUDING IN THIS PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS A SUMMARY OF THE FINANCIAL PROJECTIONS FOR DAVE, DAVE AND VPCC UNDERTAKE NO OBLIGATIONS AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ANY RESPONSIBILITY TO UPDATE OR REVISE, OR PUBLICLY DISCLOSE ANY UPDATE OR REVISION TO, THESE FINANCIAL PROJECTIONS TO REFLECT CIRCUMSTANCES OR EVENTS, INCLUDING UNANTICIPATED EVENTS, THAT MAY HAVE OCCURRED OR THAT MAY OCCUR AFTER THE PREPARATION OF THESE FINANCIAL PROJECTIONS, EVEN IN THE EVENT THAT ANY OR ALL OF THE ASSUMPTIONS UNDERLYING THE FINANCIAL PROJECTIONS ARE SHOWN TO BE IN ERROR OR CHANGE.

The projected financial information included in the document has been prepared by, and is the responsibility of, Dave’s management. None of WithumSmith+Brown, PC, VPCC’s independent registered public accounting firm, or Moss Adams LLP, Dave’s independent registered public accounting firm, has audited, reviewed, examined, compiled or applied agreed-upon procedures with respect to the accompanying prospective financial information presented herein and, accordingly, neither WithumSmith+Brown, PC nor Moss Adams LLP expresses an opinion or any other form of assurance on it. The Moss Adams LLP report included in this proxy statement/prospectus relates to historical audited financial statements of Dave. It does not extend to the projected financial information and should not be read as if it does. The projections are not included in this proxy statement/prospectus in order to induce any VPCC shareholders to vote in favor of any of the proposals at the special meeting of the shareholders.

The key elements of the projected financial metrics provided by Dave’s management team to VPCC are summarized in the table below:

Projected Financial Metrics


	Dave Financial Summary and Projections
In millions	2021			2022		2023
Total Revenue	$	193		$	377	$	533
Gross Profit	$	111		$	223	$	329
Adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾	$	52		$	137	$	216
Adjusted EBITDA pre-Marketing⁽²⁾	$	(9	)	$	12	$	29

(1)	Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) adjusted for interest expense (income), provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation and other discretionary items determined by Dave’s management.

(2)

Adjusted EBITDA pre-Marketing is defined as Adjusted EBITDA, excluding marketing and advertising related costs. Dave management included this projected financial metric to increase transparency into business profitability given the significant and rapid expected increase in marketing spend during the years presented in the projections.

Total Revenue is driven by Member acquisition, Member retention and engagement and revenue per Member (“RPM”)^* assumptions, including:

•

Member acquisition assumptions based on:

^○

significant annual increases in marketing spend following completion of a de-SPAC transaction (estimated Q4 2021);

Other key assumptions impacting profitability projections include costs of financing based on working capital projections and tax rates based on historical trends.

While Dave’s management believes the abovementioned assumptions to be reasonable for preparation of its projected financial information, they are dependent upon future events, and actual conditions may differ from those assumed. In addition, Dave used and relied upon certain industry information provided by third parties in the context of their business. While Dave believes the use of such information and assumptions to be reasonable for preparation of its projected financial information, it offers no assurances with respect thereto and some assumptions may vary significantly due to unanticipated events and circumstances.

Comparable Company Analysis

VPCC’s management also considered a comparable company analysis to assess the value that the public markets would likely ascribe to Dave and this analysis was presented to the VPCC Board. These companies were selected by VPCC as publicly traded companies having businesses that were considered, in certain respects, to be similar to the Combined Company’s business. Although none of the selected companies reviewed in this analysis were directly comparable to Dave, the companies had one or more similar operating and financial characteristics as Dave.

Accounting Treatment of the Business Combination

The Business Combination will be accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with GAAP. Under this method of accounting, VPCC will be treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. For accounting purposes, Dave will be deemed to be the accounting acquirer in the transaction and, consequently, the transaction will be treated as a recapitalization of Dave (i.e., a capital transaction involving the issuance of stock by VPCC for the stock of Dave). Accordingly, the consolidated assets, liabilities and results of operations of Dave will become the historical financial statements of the Combined Company, and VPCC’s assets, liabilities and results of operations will be consolidated with Dave beginning on the acquisition date.

Dave has been determined to be the accounting acquirer based on evaluation of the following facts and circumstances:

•

Dave’s business will comprise the ongoing operations of the Combined Company immediately following the consummation of the Business Combination;

•

Dave’s senior management will serve as senior management of the Combined Company;

•

Dave Stockholders will have the greatest voting interest in the Combined Company and a majority interest under both the no redemption and maximum redemption scenarios (holding approximately 86.5% and 92.9% of the total shares outstanding of the Combined Company under the no redemption and maximum redemption scenarios, respectively);

•

Dave’s existing directors and individuals designated by, or representing, Dave Stockholders will constitute at least four of the nine members of the initial Combined Company board of directors following the consummation of the Business Combination;

•

Dave Stockholders will have the ability to control decisions regarding election and removal of directors from the Combined Company board of directors; and

•

The Combined Company will continue to operate under the Dave tradename and the headquarters of The Combined Company will be Dave’s existing headquarters.

157

Other factors were considered, including the purpose and intent of the Business Combination, noting that the preponderance of evidence as described above is indicative that Dave is the accounting acquirer in the Business Combination.

Regulatory Matters

Under the HSR Act and the rules that have been promulgated thereunder by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”), certain transactions may not be consummated unless information has been furnished to the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice (“Antitrust Division”) and the FTC and certain waiting period requirements have been satisfied. The Business Combination is subject to these requirements and may not be completed until the expiration of a 30-day waiting period following the filing of the required Notification and Report Forms with the Antitrust Division and the FTC or until early termination is granted. On June 21, 2021, VPCC and Dave filed the required forms under the HSR Act with the Antitrust Division and the FTC, and the 30-day waiting period expired on July 21, 2021.

At any time before or after the Closing, notwithstanding termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act, the applicable competition authorities could take such action under applicable antitrust laws as each deems necessary or desirable in the public interest, including seeking to enjoin the Closing. Private parties may also seek to take legal action under the antitrust laws under certain circumstances. VPCC cannot assure you that the Antitrust Division, the FTC, any state attorney general, or any other government authority will not attempt to challenge the Business Combination on antitrust grounds, and, if such a challenge is made, VPCC cannot assure you as to its result. Neither VPCC nor Dave is aware of any material regulatory approvals or actions that are required for the Closing other than the expiration or early termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act. It is presently contemplated that if any such additional regulatory approvals or actions are required, those approvals or actions will be sought. There can be no assurance, however, that any additional approvals or actions will be obtained.

MATERIAL UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations of the Redemption

The following is a discussion of material U.S. federal income tax considerations for holders of our shares of VPCC Class A Common Stock that elect to have their VPCC Class A Common Stock redeemed for cash if the Business Combination is completed. This discussion applies only to VPCC Class A Common Stock that is held as a capital asset for U.S. federal income tax purposes. This discussion is limited to U.S. federal income tax considerations, and does not address estate or any gift tax considerations or considerations arising under the tax laws of any state, local or non-U.S. jurisdiction. This discussion does not describe all of the U.S. federal income tax consequences that may be relevant to you in light of your particular circumstances, including the alternative minimum tax, the Medicare tax on certain investment income and the different consequences that may apply if you are subject to special rules that apply to certain types of investors, such as:

•

banks and financial institutions or financial services entities;

•

broker dealers;

•

insurance companies;

•

dealers or traders in securities subject to a mark-to-market method of accounting with respect to shares of VPCC Class A Common Stock;

•

persons holding VPCC Class A Common Stock as part of a “straddle,” hedge, integrated transaction or similar transaction;

•

U.S. holders (as defined below) whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar;

•

“specified foreign corporations” (including “controlled foreign corporations”), “passive foreign investment companies” and corporations that accumulate earnings to avoid U.S. federal income tax;

•

U.S. expatriates or former long-term residents of the U.S.;

•

governments or agencies or instrumentalities thereof and qualified foreign pension funds;

•

regulated investment companies (RICs) or real estate investment trusts (REITs);

•

persons subject to the alternative minimum tax provisions of the Code;

•

persons who received their shares of VPCC Class A Common Stock pursuant to an exercise of employee share options, in connection with employee share incentive plans or otherwise as compensation;

•

partnerships or other pass-through entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes;

•

persons holding Founder Shares or their affiliates, officers or directors;

•

persons that directly, indirectly or constructively own five percent or more (by vote or value) of VPCC Class A Common Stock;

•

persons required to accelerate the recognition of any item of gross income with respect to VPCC Class A Common Stock as a result of such income being recognized on an applicable financial statement; and

•

tax-exempt entities.

If you are a partnership (or other pass-through entity) for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the U.S. federal income tax treatment of your partners (or other owners) will generally depend on the status of the partners and your activities. Partnerships and their partners (or other owners) should consult their tax advisors with respect to the consequences to them of electing to have their VPCC Class A Common Stock redeemed for cash if the Business Combination is completed.

159

This discussion is based on the Code and administrative pronouncements, judicial decisions and final, temporary and proposed Treasury regulations as of the date hereof, changes to any of which subsequent to the date of this proxy statement/prospectus may affect the tax consequences described herein. No assurance can be given that the IRS would not assert, or that a court would not sustain, a contrary position. No advance ruling has been or will be sought from the IRS regarding any matter discussed in this discussion. This discussion does not address any aspect of state, local or non-U.S. taxation, or any U.S. federal taxes other than income taxes (such as gift and estate taxes). You are urged to consult your tax advisor with respect to the application of U.S. federal tax laws to your particular situation, as well as any tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local or foreign jurisdiction.

Redemption of Class A Common Stock

In the event that a holder’s shares of VPCC Class A Common Stock are redeemed pursuant to the redemption provisions described in this proxy statement/prospectus under the section titled “VPCC Special Meeting of Stockholders—Redemption Rights,” the treatment of the redemption for U.S. federal income tax purposes will depend on whether the redemption qualifies as a sale or other exchange of shares of VPCC Class A Common Stock under Section 302 of the Code. If the redemption qualifies as a sale of shares of VPCC Class A Common Stock, a U.S. holder (as defined below) will be treated as described below under the section titled “—U.S. Holders—Gain or Loss on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Class A Common Stock,” and a Non-U.S. holder (as defined below) will be treated as described under the section titled “—Non-U.S. Holders—Gain on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Class A Common Stock.” If the redemption does not qualify as a sale of shares of VPCC Class A Common Stock, a holder will be treated as receiving a corporate distribution with the tax consequences to a U.S. holder described below under the section titled “—U.S. Holders—Taxation of Distributions,” and the tax consequences to a Non-U.S. holder described below under the section titled “—Non-U.S. Holder—Taxation of Distributions.”

Whether a redemption of shares of VPCC Class A Common Stock qualifies for sale treatment will depend largely on the total number of shares of our stock treated as held by the redeemed holder before and after the redemption (including any stock constructively owned by the holder including as a result of owning Private Placement Warrants or Public Warrants and any of our stock that a holder would directly or indirectly acquire pursuant to the Business Combination or the PIPE Investment) relative to all of our shares outstanding both before and after the redemption. The redemption of VPCC Class A Common Stock generally will be treated as a sale of VPCC Class A Common Stock (rather than as a corporate distribution) if the redemption (1) is “substantially disproportionate” with respect to the holder, (2) results in a “complete termination” of the holder’s interest in us or (3) is “not essentially equivalent to a dividend” with respect to the holder. These tests are explained more fully below.

In determining whether any of the foregoing tests result in a redemption qualifying for sale treatment, a holder takes into account not only shares of our stock actually owned by the holder, but also shares of our stock that are constructively owned by it. A holder may constructively own, in addition to stock owned directly, stock owned by certain related individuals and entities in which the holder has an interest or that have an interest in such holder, as well as any stock that the holder has a right to acquire by exercise of an option, which would generally include VPCC Class A Common Stock which could be acquired pursuant to the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants or the Public Warrants. Moreover, any of our stock that a holder directly or constructively acquires pursuant to the Business Combination or the PIPE Investment generally should be included in determining the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the redemption.

In order to meet the substantially disproportionate test, the percentage of our outstanding voting stock actually and constructively owned by the holder immediately following the redemption of shares of VPCC Class A Common Stock must, among other requirements, be less than 80 percent (80%) of the percentage of our outstanding voting stock actually and constructively owned by the holder immediately before the redemption (taking into account both redemptions by other holders of VPCC Class A Common Stock and the VPCC Class A Common Stock to be issued pursuant to the Business Combination or the PIPE Investment). There will be a

160

complete termination of a holder’s interest if either (1) all of the shares of our stock actually and constructively owned by the holder are redeemed or (2) all of the shares of our stock actually owned by the holder are redeemed and the holder is eligible to waive, and effectively waives in accordance with specific rules, the attribution of stock owned by certain family members and the holder does not constructively own any other stock.

The redemption of VPCC Class A Common Stock will not be essentially equivalent to a dividend if the redemption results in a “meaningful reduction” of the holder’s proportionate interest in us. Whether the redemption will result in a meaningful reduction in a holder’s proportionate interest in us will depend on the particular facts and circumstances. However, the IRS has indicated in a published ruling that even a small reduction in the proportionate interest of a small minority stockholder in a publicly held corporation where such stockholder exercises no control over corporate affairs may constitute such a “meaningful reduction.”

If none of the foregoing tests is satisfied, then the redemption of shares of VPCC Class A Common Stock will be treated as a corporate distribution to the redeemed holder and the tax effects to such a U.S. holder will be as described below under the section titled “U.S. Holders—Taxation of Distributions,” and the tax effects to such a Non-U.S. holder will be as described below under the section titled “Non-U.S. Holders—Taxation of Distributions.” After the application of those rules, any remaining tax basis of the holder in the redeemed VPCC Class A Common Stock will be added to the holder’s adjusted tax basis in its remaining stock, or, if it has none, possibly to the holder’s adjusted tax basis in its warrants or in other stock constructively owned by it. A holder should consult with its own tax advisors as to the tax consequences of a redemption.

U.S. Holders

This section applies to you if you are a “U.S. holder.” A U.S. holder is a beneficial owner of shares of VPCC Class A Common Stock who or that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

•

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

•

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

•

an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation purposes regardless of its source; or

•

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

Taxation of Distributions. If our redemption of a U.S. holder’s shares of VPCC Class A Common Stock is treated as a corporate distribution, as discussed above under the section titled “—Redemption of Class A Common Stock,” such distribution generally will constitute a dividend for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. Distributions in excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits will constitute a return of capital that will be applied against and reduce (but not below zero) the U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in our VPCC Class A Common Stock. Any remaining excess will be treated as gain realized on the sale or other disposition of the VPCC Class A Common Stock and will be treated as described below under the section titled “—U.S. Holders—Gain or Loss on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Class A Common Stock.”

Dividends we pay to a U.S. holder that is a taxable corporation (i) generally will be eligible for a dividends-received deduction (subject to certain holding period, at risk and other requirements and limitations) and (ii) generally may be subject to the “extraordinary dividend” provisions of the Code (which could cause a reduction in the tax basis of such U.S. Holder’s Shares and cause such U.S. Holder to recognize capital gain). Corporate U.S. holders are urged to consult their tax advisors concerning the availability of the dividends-

161

received deduction and the application of the “extraordinary dividend” provisions of the Code in their particular circumstances.

With certain exceptions, and provided certain holding period requirements are met, dividends we pay to a non-corporate U.S. holder generally will constitute “qualified dividends” that will be subject to tax at the maximum tax rate accorded to long-term capital gains. It is unclear whether the redemption rights with respect to the VPCC Class A Common Stock described in this proxy statement may prevent a U.S. holder from satisfying the applicable holding period requirements with respect to the dividends received deduction or the preferential tax rate on qualified dividend income, as the case may be.

Gain or Loss on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Class A Common Stock. If our redemption of a U.S. holder’s shares of VPCC Class A Common Stock qualifies for sale treatment, as discussed above under the section titled “—Redemption of Class A Common Stock,” a U.S. holder generally will recognize capital gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between the amount of cash received and the U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in the shares of VPCC Class A Common Stock redeemed. A U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in its VPCC Class A Common Stock generally will equal the U.S. holder’s acquisition cost less any prior distributions paid to such U.S. holder with respect to its shares of VPCC Class A Common Stock treated as a return of capital. Any such capital gain or loss generally will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. holder’s holding period for the VPCC Class A Common Stock so disposed of exceeds one year.

It is unclear whether the redemption rights with respect to the VPCC Class A Common Stock described in this proxy statement may prevent a U.S. holder from satisfying the applicable holding period for this purpose. Long-term capital gains recognized by noncorporate U.S. holders will be eligible to be taxed at reduced rates. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations. U.S. holders who hold different blocks of VPCC Class A Common Stock (including as a result of holding different blocks of shares of VPCC Class A Common Stock purchased or acquired on different dates or at different prices) should consult their tax advisors to determine how the above rules apply to them.

Non-U.S. Holders

This section applies to you if you are a “Non-U.S. holder.” A Non-U.S. holder is a beneficial owner of our VPCC Class A Common Stock who, or that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

•

a non-resident alien individual, other than certain former citizens and residents of the United States subject to U.S. tax as expatriates;

•

a foreign corporation; or

•

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

Taxation of Distributions. If our redemption of a Non-U.S. holder’s shares of VPCC Class A Common Stock is treated as a corporate distribution, as discussed above under the section titled “—Redemption of Class A Common Stock,” to the extent paid out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles), such distribution will constitute a dividend for U.S. federal income tax purposes and, provided such dividend is not effectively connected with the Non-U.S. holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States, we will be required to withhold tax from the gross amount of the dividend at a rate of 30 percent (30%), unless such Non-U.S. holder is eligible for a reduced rate of withholding tax under an applicable income tax treaty and timely provides proper certification of its eligibility for such reduced rate (usually on an IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E). Any distribution not constituting a dividend will be treated first as reducing (but not below zero) the Non-U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in its shares of our VPCC Class A Common Stock and, to the extent such distribution exceeds the Non-U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis, as gain realized from the sale or other disposition of the VPCC Class A Common Stock, which will be treated as described below under the section titled “—Non-U.S. Holders—Gain on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Class A Common Stock.”

162

Because it may not be certain at the time a Non-U.S. holder is redeemed whether such Non-U.S. holder’s redemption will be treated as a sale of shares or a distribution constituting a dividend, and because such determination will depend in part on a Non-U.S. holder’s particular circumstances, we or the applicable withholding agent may not be able to determine whether (or to what extent) a Non-U.S. holder is treated as receiving a dividend for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Therefore, we or the applicable withholding agent may withhold tax at a rate of 30% (or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty) on the gross amount of any consideration paid to a Non-U.S. holder in redemption of such Non-U.S. holder’s VPCC Class A Common Stock, unless (i) we or the applicable withholding agent have established special procedures allowing Non-U.S. holders to certify that they are exempt from such withholding tax and (ii) such Non-U.S. holders are able to certify that they meet the requirements of such exemption (e.g., because such Non-U.S. holders are not treated as receiving a dividend under the Section 302 tests described above under the section entitled “—Redemption of Class A Common Stock”). However, there can be no assurance that we or any applicable withholding agent will establish such special certification procedures. If we or an applicable withholding agent withhold excess amounts from the amount payable to a Non-U.S. holder, such Non-U.S. holder generally may obtain a refund of any such excess amounts by timely filing an appropriate claim for refund with the IRS. Non-U.S. holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the application of the foregoing rules in light of their particular facts and circumstances and any applicable procedures or certification requirements.

The withholding tax described above does not apply to dividends paid to a Non-U.S. holder who provides an IRS Form W-8ECI certifying that the dividends are effectively connected with the Non-U.S. holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States. Instead, the effectively connected dividends will be subject to regular U.S. federal income tax as if the Non-U.S. holder were a U.S. resident, subject to an applicable income tax treaty providing otherwise. A Non-U.S. holder that is a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes and is receiving effectively connected dividends may also be subject to an additional “branch profits tax” imposed at a rate of 30 percent (30%) (or a lower applicable income tax treaty rate).

Gain on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Class A Common Stock. If our redemption of a Non-U.S. holder’s shares of VPCC Class A Common Stock qualifies for sale treatment as discussed above under the section titled “—Redemption of Class A Common Stock,” subject to the discussions of FATCA (as defined below) and backup withholding below, a Non-U.S. holder generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income or withholding tax in respect of the redemption, unless:

•

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

•

such Non-U.S. holder is an individual who is present in the United States for 183 days or more during the taxable year in which the disposition takes place and certain other conditions are met; or

•

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

Unless an applicable treaty provides otherwise, gain described in the first bullet point above will be subject to tax at generally applicable U.S. federal income tax rates as if the Non-U.S. holder were a U.S. resident. Any gains described in the first bullet point above of a Non-U.S. holder that is a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes may also be subject to an additional “branch profits tax” at a thirty percent (30%) rate (or lower income

163

tax treaty rate). If the second bullet point applies to a Non-U.S. holder, such Non-U.S. holder will be subject to U.S. tax on such Non-U.S. holder’s net capital gain for such year (including any gain realized in connection with the redemption) at a tax rate of thirty percent (30%) (or a lower applicable tax treaty rate).

If the third bullet point above applies to a Non-U.S. holder, gain recognized by such holder in the redemption will be subject to tax at generally applicable U.S. federal income tax rates. In addition, unless VPCC Class A Common Stock is regularly traded on an established securities market, we may be required to withhold U.S. federal income tax at a rate of fifteen percent (15%) of the amount realized upon such redemption. We believe that we are not, and have not been at any time since our formation, a United States real property holding corporation and we do not expect to be a United States real property holding corporation immediately after the Business Combination is completed. However, such determination is factual in nature and subject to change and there can be no assurance that VPCC Class A Common Stock will be treated as regularly traded on an established securities market in any future year.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Mergers to Holders of VPCC Class A Common Stock

The holders of VPCC Class A Common Stock will incur no U.S. federal income tax consequences as a result of the Mergers.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

Dividend payments with respect to VPCC Class A Common Stock and proceeds from the sale, taxable exchange or taxable redemption of VPCC Class A Common Stock may be subject to information reporting to the IRS and possible United States backup withholding. Backup withholding will not apply, however, to a U.S. holder who furnishes a correct taxpayer identification number and makes other required certifications, or who is otherwise exempt from backup withholding and establishes such exempt status.

Amounts treated as dividends that are paid to a Non-U.S. holder are generally subject to reporting on IRS Form 1042-S even if the payments are exempt from withholding. A Non-U.S. holder generally will eliminate any other requirement for information reporting and backup withholding by providing certification of its foreign status, under penalties of perjury, on a duly executed applicable IRS Form W-8 or by otherwise establishing an exemption.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Amounts withheld as backup withholding may be credited against a holder’s United States federal income tax liability, and a holder generally may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules by timely filing the appropriate claim for refund with the IRS and furnishing any required information.

FATCA Withholding Taxes

Provisions commonly referred to as “FATCA” impose withholding of 30 percent (30%) on payments of dividends (including constructive dividends and amounts treated as dividends received pursuant to a redemption of stock) on VPCC Class A Common Stock. Previously, withholding with respect to the gross proceeds of a disposition of any stock, debt instrument, or other property that can produce U.S.-source dividends or interest was scheduled to begin on January 1, 2019, but on December 13, 2018, the IRS released proposed regulations that, if finalized in their proposed form, would eliminate the obligation to withhold on gross proceeds. Such proposed regulations also delayed withholding on certain other payments received from other foreign financial institutions that are allocable, as provided for under final Treasury Regulations, to payments of U.S.-source dividends and other fixed or determinable annual or periodic income. Although these proposed Treasury regulations are not final, taxpayers generally may rely on them until final Treasury regulations are issued. In general, no such withholding will be required with respect to a U.S. holder or an individual Non-U.S. holder that timely provides the certifications required on a valid IRS Form W-9 or W-8, respectively. Holders potentially subject to withholding include “foreign financial institutions” (which is broadly defined for this purpose and in

164

general includes investment vehicles) and certain other non-U.S. entities unless various U.S. information reporting and due diligence requirements (generally relating to ownership by U.S. persons of interests in or accounts with those entities) have been satisfied, or an exemption applies (typically certified as to by the delivery of a properly completed IRS Form W-8BEN-E). If FATCA withholding is imposed, a beneficial owner that is not a foreign financial institution generally will be entitled to a refund of any amounts withheld by filing a U.S. federal income tax return (which may entail significant administrative burden). Foreign financial institutions located in jurisdictions that have an intergovernmental agreement with the United States governing FATCA may be subject to different rules. All holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the effects of FATCA on a redemption of VPCC Class A Common Stock.

THE PRECEDING DISCUSSION IS INTENDED ONLY AS A SUMMARY OF MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE MERGERS AND DOES NOT PURPORT TO BE A COMPLETE ANALYSIS OR DISCUSSION OF ALL OF THE MERGERS’ POTENTIAL TAX EFFECTS. TAX MATTERS CAN BE COMPLICATED AND THE TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE MERGERS TO YOU WILL DEPEND ON THE FACTS OF YOUR OWN SITUATION. YOU ARE URGED TO CONSULT YOUR OWN TAX ADVISORS TO FULLY UNDERSTAND THE TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE MERGERS TO YOU, INCLUDING THE APPLICABILITY AND EFFECT OF FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL AND NON-U.S. INCOME AND OTHER TAX LAWS.

VPCC PROPOSALS

PROPOSAL NO. 1—THE BUSINESS COMBINATION PROPOSAL

VPCC is asking its stockholders to adopt the Merger Agreement and approve the Business Combination, including the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and the Mergers. VPCC Stockholders should read carefully this proxy statement/prospectus in its entirety for more detailed information concerning the Merger Agreement, which is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex A.

Please see the subsection titled “The Business Combination and the Merger Agreement” beginning at page 111 of this proxy statement/prospectus for additional information and a summary of certain terms of the Merger Agreement and the Business Combination, including the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and the Mergers. You are urged to read carefully the Merger Agreement in its entirety before voting on this proposal.

Vote Required for Approval

The Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement will be consummated only if the Business Combination Proposal, the Charter Amendment Proposal, the Director Election Proposal, the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan Proposal, the Employee Stock Purchase Plan Proposal, the Share Issuance Proposal and the Repurchase Proposal are approved at the Special Meeting. Each of the Business Combination Proposal, the Charter Amendment Proposal, the Director Election Proposal, the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan Proposal, the Employee Stock Purchase Plan Proposal, the Share Issuance Proposal and the Repurchase Proposal are cross-conditioned on the approval of each other. The Governance Proposals and the Adjournment Proposal are not conditioned on the approval of any other Proposals.

This Business Combination Proposal (and consequently, the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby) will be adopted and approved only if a majority of the votes cast by holders of outstanding shares VPCC Common Stock represented in person or by proxy at the Special Meeting and entitled to vote thereon vote “FOR” the Business Combination Proposal. If a valid quorum is otherwise established, failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person at the Special Meeting will have no effect on the vote. An abstention from voting will have no effect on the vote with respect to the Business Combination Proposal.

As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, the Initial Stockholders have agreed to vote their Founder Shares and any Public Shares they may hold in favor of the Business Combination Proposal. Currently, the Initial Stockholders collectively own approximately 20.0% of the issued and outstanding VPCC Common Stock, including all of the outstanding Founder Shares.

Recommendation of the Board of Directors

THE VPCC BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE BUSINESS COMBINATION PROPOSAL.

166

PROPOSAL NO. 2—THE CHARTER AMENDMENT PROPOSAL

If the Business Combination is to be consummated, VPCC will replace its Existing Charter with the Proposed Charter in the form attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex B, which, in the judgment of the VPCC Board, is necessary to adequately address the needs of the Combined Company.

The VPCC Stockholders are asked to consider and vote to approve eight separate proposals in connection with the replacement of the Existing Charter with the Proposed Charter. The Charter Amendment Proposal is conditioned on the other Condition Precedent Proposals. Accordingly, if any of the other Condition Precedent Proposals is not approved, the Charter Amendment Proposal will have no effect, even if approved by holders of VPCC Common Stock.

The following table summarizes the principal proposed changes and the differences between the Existing Charter and the Proposed Charter. This summary is qualified by reference to the complete text of the Proposed Charter, a copy of which is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex B. All stockholders are encouraged to read the Proposed Charter in its entirety for a more complete description of its terms.


	Existing Charter	Proposed Charter
Number of Authorized Shares	The Existing Charter provides that the total number of authorized shares of all classes of capital stock is 221,000,000 shares, consisting of (a) 220,000,000 shares of VPCC Common Stock, including (i) 200,000,000 shares of VPCC Class A Common Stock and (ii) 20,000,000 shares of VPCC Class B Common Stock, and (b) 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock. See Section 4.1 of the Existing Charter.	The Proposed Charter increases the total number of authorized shares of all classes of capital stock to, following the automatic conversion of all VPCC Class B Common Stock into Class A Common Stock immediately prior to the Closing of the Business Combination, 610,000,000 shares, consisting of (a) 500,000,000 shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock, (b) 100,000,000 shares of Combined Company Class V Common Stock and (b) 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock. The Combined Company will not have Class B common stock. See Article IV Section 1.1 of the Proposed Charter.

Dual Class Common Stock Structure	VPCC’s Existing Charter provide that each holder of VPCC Class A Common Stock and VPCC Class B Common Stock has one vote for every share held.	The Proposed Charter will establish a dual-class Combined Company Common Stock structure consisting of Combined Company Class A Common Stock and Combined Company Class V Common Stock, and (b) provide that each share of Combined Company Class A Common Stock will be entitled to one (1) vote per share and each share of Combined Company Class V Common Stock will be entitled to ten (10) votes per share.

167


	Existing Charter	Proposed Charter

No Class Vote on Changes in Authorized Number of Shares of Stock	The Existing Charter contains no specific provision regarding the required vote to change the authorized shares of any class of stock.	The Proposed Charter provides that, with respect to any vote to increase or decrease the number of authorized shares of any class or classes of stock (but not below the number of shares then outstanding) requires the affirmative vote of the holders of all the then-outstanding shares of capital stock of Combined Company entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class, irrespective of the provisions of Section 242(b)(2) of the DGCL, and no vote of the holders of the Combined Company Class A Common Stock voting separately as a class shall be required therefor. See Article IV, Section 2.1 of the Proposed Charter.

Required Vote to Remove Directors	The Existing Charter provides that any or all of the directors may be removed from office at any time, but only for cause and only by the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the voting power of all then outstanding shares of capital stock of VPCC entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class. See Article V, Section 4 of the Existing Charter.	The Proposed Charter provides that subject to the special rights of the holders of any series of preferred stock of the Combined Company, no director may be removed from the Combined Company board except for cause and only by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the voting power of the then-outstanding shares of capital stock of the Combined Company entitled to vote generally in the election of directors voting together as a single class. See Article IV, Section 4 of the Proposed Charter.

Required Vote to Amend the Bylaws	The Existing Charter requires an affirmative vote of either a majority of the board of directors or the holders of at least a majority of the voting power of all then-outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class, for the adoption, amendment, alteration or repeal of bylaws. See Article VI of the Existing Charter.	The Proposed Charter requires an affirmative vote of the Whole Board or the holders of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the voting power of all then-outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class, for the adoption, amendment, or repeal any provision of the bylaws (in addition to any vote of the holders of any class or series of stock of required by applicable law or by

168


	Existing Charter	Proposed Charter
		the Proposed Charter of the Combined Company); provided, however, that if two-thirds (2/3) of the Whole Board has approved such adoption, then only the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the voting power of all then-outstanding shares of the Combined Company’s capital stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class shall be required to adopt, amend or repeal any provision of the Bylaws. See Article VII of the Proposed Charter.

Required Vote to Amend the Charter	The Existing Charter requires an affirmative vote of holders of the majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of capital stock for the amendment, alteration, change or repeal of any provision in the charter. See Article XI of the Existing Charter.	The Proposed Charter provides that, notwithstanding any other provision of the Proposed Charter (including any preferred stock designation) or any provision of law that might otherwise permit a lesser vote or no vote, and subject to Sections 1 and 2.1 of Article IV, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the voting power of all of the then-outstanding shares of the capital stock of the Combined Company entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class, will be required to amend or repeal or adopt any provision inconsistent with the Sections 1.3 and 2 of Article IV, or Article V, Article VI, Article VII, Article VIII, Article IX, Article X, Article XI, Article XII, Article XIII or Section 1 of this Article XIV (the “Specified Provisions”); provided, further, that if two-thirds (2/3) of the Whole Board has approved such amendment or repeal of, or any provision inconsistent with, the Specified Provisions, then only the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the voting power of all of the then-

169


	Existing Charter	Proposed Charter
		outstanding shares of the capital stock of the Combined Company entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class, will be required to amend or repeal, or adopt any provision inconsistent with, the Specified Provisions. See Article XIV, Section 1 of the Proposed Charter.

Limitation of Exclusive Forum Provision	The Existing Charter adopts the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (the “Chancery Court”) as the sole and exclusive forum for certain stockholder litigation, except for any action as to which the Chancery Court determines that there is an indispensable party not subject to the jurisdiction of such court and to which jurisdiction such party does not consent, which is vested in the exclusive jurisdiction of another court or forum, or for which the Chancery Court does not have subject matter jurisdiction, or any action arising under the Securities Act as to which the Chancery Court and the federal district court for the District of Delaware shall have concurrent jurisdiction. The Existing Charter further provides that such exclusive forum provision does not apply to suits brought to enforce any liability or duty created by the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction. See Article XII of the Existing Charter.	The Proposed Charter modifies the current exclusive forum provision to clarify that the exclusive jurisdiction of the Chancery Court shall not apply to suits brought to enforce any duty or liability under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction. In addition, the Proposed Charter adopts, unless the Combined Company consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the federal district courts of the United States of America as the sole and exclusive forum for the resolution of claims arising under the Securities Act, or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. See Article X of the Proposed Charter.

Other Changes, Including Removal of Blank Check Company Provisions	The Existing Charter contains various provisions applicable only to blank check companies.	The Proposed Charter provides for certain additional changes, including, among others, those (i) resulting from the Business Combination, including changing the post-business combination corporate name from “VPC Impact Acquisition Holdings III, Inc.” to “Dave Inc.” and removing certain provisions relating to

170


		Existing Charter		Proposed Charter
				VPCC’s prior status as a blank check company and VPCC Class B Common Stock that will no longer apply upon the Closing, or (ii) that are administrative or clarifying in nature, including the deletion of language without substantive effect.

Vote Required for Approval of the Charter Amendment Proposal

The approval of the Charter Amendment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of VPCC’s outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote at the Special Meeting.

Recommendation of the Board of Directors

THE VPCC BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE CHARTER AMENDMENT PROPOSAL.

171

PROPOSALS NO. 3A THROUGH 3H—THE GOVERNANCE PROPOSALS

The VPCC Stockholders are also being asked to vote on eight separate proposals with respect to certain governance provisions in the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, which are separately being presented in accordance with SEC guidance to give stockholders the opportunity to present their separate views on important corporate governance provisions and which will be voted upon on a non-binding advisory basis. This separate vote is not otherwise required by Delaware law separate and apart from the Charter Amendment Proposal, but pursuant to SEC guidance, VPCC is required to submit these provisions to its stockholders separately for approval. However, the stockholder vote regarding this proposal is advisory in nature, and is not binding on VPCC or VPCC’s Board (separate and apart from the approval of the Charter Amendment Proposal). Furthermore, the Business Combination is not conditioned on the separate approval of the advisory charter proposals (separate and apart from approval of the Charter Amendment Proposal). Accordingly, regardless of the outcome of the non-binding advisory vote on these proposals, VPCC intends that the Proposed Charter will take effect at the Closing (assuming approval of the Charter Amendment Proposal).

The table set forth above in “Proposal No. 2—The Charter Amendment Proposal” summarizes the principal proposed changes and the differences between the Existing Charter and the Proposed Charter. Such summary is qualified by reference to the complete text of the Proposed Charter, a copy of which is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex B. All stockholders are encouraged to read the Proposed Charter in its entirety for a more complete description of its terms.

Vote Required for Approval of each of the Governance Proposals

The approval of each of Proposal No. 3A through Proposal No. 3H below requires a majority of the votes cast by holders of outstanding VPCC Common Stock represented in person or by proxy at the Special Meeting and entitled to vote thereon.

As discussed above, a vote to approve the Governance Proposals is an advisory vote, and therefore, is not binding on VPCC, Dave, the VPCC Board or Dave’s board of directors. Accordingly, regardless of the outcome of the non-binding advisory vote, VPCC and Dave intend that the Proposed Charter, in the form set forth on Annex B and containing the provisions noted above, will take effect at consummation of the Business Combination, assuming adoption of the Charter Amendment Proposal.

172

PROPOSAL NO. 3A—NUMBER OF AUTHORIZED SHARES

Description of Amendment

The 610,000,000 authorized shares of capital stock in the Proposed Charter, consisting of 500,000,000 shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock, 100,000,000 shares of Combined Company Class V Common Stock and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, represents an increase from the existing authorization of 221,000,000 shares of capital stock, consisting of 220,000,000 shares of VPCC Common Stock (of which 200,000,000 are authorized shares of VPCC Class A Common Stock and 20,000,000 are authorized shares of VPCC Class B Common Stock) and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock in the Existing Charter. Following the filing of the Proposed Charter with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and immediately prior to Closing of the Business Combination, each share of Class B common stock outstanding immediately prior to the filing of the Proposed Charter will automatically be converted into one share of VPCC Class A Common Stock of VPCC and concurrently with such conversion, the number of authorized shares of Class B common stock will be reduced to zero.

Reasons for Amendment

Although VPCC has a sufficient number of authorized but unissued shares of common stock to complete the Business Combination and the other issuances described in this proxy statement/prospectus, the VPCC Board has determined that the increase in the number of shares of authorized VPCC Class A Common Stock is desirable and in the best interests of stockholders because it will enhance the Combined Company’s flexibility to consider and respond to future business needs and opportunities as they arise from time to time following the Closing, without incurring the risk, delay and potential expense incident to obtaining stockholder approval for a particular issuance. Although there is no present intention to issue any shares beyond those contemplated by the Merger Agreement or the PIPE Investment, or otherwise in the ordinary course of business, the additional authorized shares of common stock would be issuable for any proper corporate purpose, including without limitation, stock splits, stock dividends, future acquisitions, investment opportunities, capital raising transactions of equity or convertible debt securities, issuances under current or future equity compensation plans or for other corporate purposes. The Combined Company’s authorized but unissued shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock and preferred stock will be available for future issuances without stockholder approval (except to the extent otherwise required by law or Nasdaq rules) and could be utilized for a variety of corporate purposes, including future offerings to raise additional capital, acquisitions and employee benefit plans.

Since stockholders of the Combined Company will have no preemptive rights, the Combined Company board of directors may issue shares, including the additional authorized shares, at any time without further authorization from such stockholders, except to the extent otherwise required by law or Nasdaq rules. The terms upon which any such securities may be issued will be determined by the Combined Company board of directors.

If approved, the additional shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock will have rights as described in “Description of Securities” beginning on page 258. Incidental effects of the increase in the outstanding number of shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock may include dilution of ownership and voting power of existing holders of Combined Company Class A Common Stock. The Combined Company could also use the increased number of shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock for potential strategic transactions, including, among other things, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures, restructurings, business combinations and investments, although there are no immediate plans to do so. No assurance can be given that any such transactions will (i) be completed on favorable terms or at all, (ii) enhance stockholder value or (iii) not adversely affect the business or trading price of common stock of the Combined Company.

The determination to increase the number of authorized shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock has been prompted by business and financial considerations and not by the threat of any known or threatened hostile takeover attempt. However, stockholders should be aware that, while not the current intention, approval of this Proposal No. 3A could facilitate future efforts by the Combined Company to deter or prevent changes in control of

173

the Combined Company, including transactions the Combined Company board of directors determines are not in the best interests of the Combined Company or its stockholders. For example, without further stockholder approval, the Combined Company board of directors could sell shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock in a private transaction to purchasers who would oppose a takeover or favor the Combined Company board of directors. At the present time, there is no intention to use any additional shares for anti-takeover purposes.

Recommendation of the Board of Directors

THE VPCC BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” PROPOSAL NO. 3A.

PROPOSAL NO. 3B—DUAL CLASS COMMON STOCK STRUCTURE

Description of Amendment

VPCC’s Existing Charter provides that each holder of VPCC Class A Common Stock and VPCC Class B Common Stock has one vote for every share held. Proposal No. 3B provides that the Proposed Charter will establish a dual-class Combined Company Common Stock structure consisting of Combined Company Class A Common Stock and Combined Company Class V Common Stock, and (b) provide that each share of Combined Company Class A Common Stock will be entitled to one (1) vote per share and each share of Combined Company Class V Common Stock will be entitled to ten (10) votes per share.

Reasons for the Amendment

The voting power of the Combined Company Class V Common Stock is necessary to give Mr. Wilk comparable control rights over the Combined Company as he currently has in Dave. The VPCC Board believes that the Combined Company’s success rests on its ability to undertake a long-term view and Mr. Wilk’s controlling interest will enhance the Combined Company’s ability to focus on long-term value creation and help insulate the Combined Company from short-term outside influences. Mr. Wilk’s voting control also provides the Combined Company with flexibility to employ various financing and transaction strategies involving the issuance of equity securities, while maintaining Mr. Wilk’s control.

Recommendation of the Board of Directors

THE VPCC BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” PROPOSAL NO. 3B.

PROPOSAL NO. 3C—NO CLASS VOTE ON CHANGES IN AUTHORIZED NUMBER OF SHARES OF STOCK

Description of the Amendment

At present, VPCC’s Existing Charter contains no specific provision regarding the required vote to change the authorized shares of any class of stock. Proposal No. 3C provides that any vote with respect to the increase or decrease of the number of authorized shares of any class or classes of stock (but not below the number of shares then outstanding) requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the holders of all the then-outstanding shares of capital stock of the Combined Company entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class, irrespective of the provisions of Section 242(b)(2) of the DGCL, and no vote of the holders of the Combined Company Class A Common Stock voting separately as a class shall be required therefor.

Reasons for the Amendment

VPCC believes that vesting the power to authorize changes in the authorized number of shares in the holders of stock entitled to vote in the election of directors will give the Combined Company greater flexibility to use its share capital.

174

Recommendation of the Board of Directors

THE VPCC BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” PROPOSAL NO. 3C.

PROPOSAL NO. 3D—REQUIRED VOTE TO REMOVE DIRECTORS

Description of the Amendment

The Existing Charter provides that any or all of the directors may be removed from office at any time, but only for cause and only by the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the voting power of all then outstanding shares of capital stock of VPCC entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class. Proposal No. 3D provides that subject to the special rights of the holders of any series of preferred stock of the Combined Company, no director may be removed from the Combined Company board except for cause and only by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the voting power of the then-outstanding shares of capital stock of the Combined Company entitled to vote generally in the election of directors voting together as a single class.

Reasons for the Amendment

VPCC believes that increasing the threshold required to remove a director from the Combined Company’s board will help facilitate corporate governance stability by requiring broad stockholder consensus to effect such corporate governance changes and in the process help protect minority stockholder interests. In addition, any less than a two-thirds vote requirement may weaken the ability of the Combined Company board to preserve and maximize value for all stockholders in an opportunistic and unsolicited takeover attempt.

Recommendation of the Board of Directors

THE VPCC BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” PROPOSAL NO. 3D.

PROPOSAL NO. 3E—REQUIRED VOTE TO AMEND THE BYLAWS

Description of Amendment

At present, the Existing Charter provides that VPCC’s bylaws may only be adopted, amended, altered or repealed with the approval of a majority of the VPCC Board or the holders of at least a majority of the voting power of all then-outstanding shares of VPCC’s capital stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class. Proposal No. 3E provides that an affirmative vote by either a majority of the Whole Board or by the holders of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the voting power of all then-outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class, is required to adopt, amend, or repeal the bylaws; provided, however, that if two-thirds (2/3) of the Whole Board has approved such adoption, then only the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the voting power of all then-outstanding shares of the Combined Company’s capital stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class shall be required to adopt, amend or repeal any provision of the bylaws.

Reasons for the Amendment

The ability of the majority of the VPCC Board to amend the bylaws remains unchanged, except that any such amendment now requires a majority of the board of directors, whether or not there exist any vacancies in previously authorized directorships. VPCC believes that supermajority voting requirements are appropriate at

175

this time to protect all stockholders against the potential self-interested actions by one or a few large stockholders. In reaching this conclusion, the VPCC Board was cognizant of the potential for certain stockholders to hold substantial beneficial ownership of our common stock following the Business Combination. VPCC further believes that going forward, a supermajority voting requirement encourages any person seeking control of the Combined Company to negotiate with the Combined Company board of directors to reach terms that are appropriate for all stockholders.

Recommendation of the Board of Directors

THE VPCC BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” PROPOSAL NO. 3E.

PROPOSAL NO. 3F—REQUIRED VOTE TO AMEND THE CHARTER

Description of Amendment

At present, the Existing Charter may only be amended, altered, changed or repealed with the approval of a majority of the VPCC Board and the holders of at least a majority of the voting power of all then-outstanding shares of VPCC’s capital stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class. Proposal No. 3F provides that, notwithstanding any other provision of the Proposed Charter (including any preferred stock designation) or any provision of law that might otherwise permit a lesser vote or no vote, but in addition to any vote of the holders of any class or series of the Combined Company’s capital stock required by law or by the Proposed Charter (including any preferred stock designation), and subject to Sections 1 (authorized capital stock) and (no class vote on changes in authorized number of shares of stock) and 2 (preferred stock) of the Proposed Charter, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the voting power of all of the then-outstanding shares of the Combined Company’s capital stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class, shall be required to adopt, amend, alter or repeal any provision inconsistent with Article XI (amendment of Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation), Sections 2 (preferred stock), 3 (classified board), and 4 (common stock) of Article IV, or Article V (board of directors), Article VI (limited liability; indemnification), Article VII (amendment or repeal of bylaws), Article VIII (special meetings and stockholder nominations), Article IX (exclusive forum for certain lawsuits) or Article X (severability) of the Proposed Charter (the “Specified Provisions”); provided, however, that if at least two-thirds (2/3) of the members of the Combined Company board of directors then in office have approved such amendment or repeal of, or any provision inconsistent with, the Specified Provisions, then only the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the voting power of all of the then-outstanding shares of the Combined Company’s capital stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class, shall be required to amend or repeal, or adopt any provision inconsistent with, the Specified Provisions.

Reasons for the Amendment

VPCC believes that supermajority voting requirements are appropriate at this time to protect all stockholders against the potential self-interested actions by one or a few large stockholders. In reaching this conclusion, the VPCC Board was cognizant of the potential for certain stockholders to hold substantial beneficial ownership of our common stock following the Business Combination. VPCC further believes that going forward, a supermajority voting requirement encourages any person seeking control of the Combined Company to negotiate with the Combined Company board of directors to reach terms that are appropriate for all stockholders.

Recommendation of the Board of Directors

THE VPCC BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” PROPOSAL NO. 3G.

176

PROPOSAL NO. 3G—LIMITATION ON EXCLUSIVE FORUM PROVISION

Description of Amendment

The Existing Charter adopts the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (the “Chancery Court”) as the sole and exclusive forum for certain stockholder litigation, except for any action as to which the Chancery Court determines that there is an indispensable party not subject to the jurisdiction of such court and to which jurisdiction such party does not consent, which is vested in the exclusive jurisdiction of another court or forum, for which the Chancery Court does not have subject matter jurisdiction, or any action arising under the Securities Act as to which the Chancery Court and the federal district court for the District of Delaware shall have exclusive jurisdiction. The Existing Charter further provides that such exclusive forum provision does not apply to suits brought to enforce any liability or duty created by the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction. The Proposed Charter seeks to clarify that the current exclusive forum provision adopting the Chancery Court as the exclusive forum for certain stockholder litigation is also not applicable to any suits brought to enforce any duty or liability under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction. In addition, the Proposed Charter adopts, unless the Combined Company consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the federal district courts of the United States of America as the sole and exclusive forum for the resolution of any action asserting a claim arising under the Securities Act, or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

These exclusive forum provisions are not intended to apply to actions arising under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act. Delaware courts have held that a Delaware corporation can only use its constitutive documents to bind a plaintiff to a particular forum where the claim involves rights or relationships that were established by or under Delaware’s corporate law. As a result, to the extent our exclusive forum provisions could be construed to apply to actions arising under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act, there is uncertainty as to whether a court would enforce the forum selection provisions with respect to such claims, and in any event, our stockholders would not be deemed to have waived compliance with federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder.

Reasons for the Amendment

The VPCC Board believes that clarifying in the Proposed Charter that the current exclusive forum provision does not apply to actions asserted to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, or, in each case, the rules or regulations promulgated thereunder, will permit the Combined Company to comply with the jurisdictional limitations imposed by the federal securities laws and to provide clear notice of such limitations to the Combined Company’s stockholders, in conformity with recent SEC guidance regarding such limitations. In addition, the VPCC Board believes that adopting the federal district courts of the United States as the exclusive forum for certain stockholder litigation under the Securities Act is intended to assist the Combined Company in avoiding multiple lawsuits in multiple jurisdictions regarding the same matter. The ability to require such claims to be brought in a single forum will help to assure consistent consideration of the issues, the application of a relatively known body of case law and level of expertise and should promote efficiency and cost-savings in the resolutions of such claims.

Recommendation of the Board of Directors

THE VPCC BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” PROPOSAL NO. 3G.

PROPOSAL NO. 3H—UPDATE OF OTHER PROVISIONS

Description of Amendment

Approval of each of the Governance Proposals, assuming the approval of each of the Condition Precedent Proposals, will result, upon the Closing, in the wholesale replacement of the Existing Charter with the Proposed

177

Charter. While certain material changes between the Existing Charter and the Proposed Charter have been unbundled into distinct proposals, there are other differences between the Existing Charter and the Proposed Charter arising from, among other things, (i) the Closing, including (a) changing the post-business combination corporate name from “VPC Impact Acquisition Holdings III, Inc.” to “Dave Inc.” and (b) removing certain obsolete provisions relating to VPCC’s status as a blank check company, such as its purpose of effecting a business combination and the establishment of a Trust Account and stockholder redemption rights, and VPCC’s Class B Common Stock, such as conversion and voting rights related thereto, that will no longer apply upon the Closing, or (ii) administrative or clarifying revisions, including (a) providing that a majority of the votes cast may increase or decrease (but not below the current number) the number of shares of any class or classes of stock, (b) providing that the business to be transacted at Special Meetings of stockholders shall be limited to the purpose or purposes stated in the notices of such meeting, and (c) the removal of language without substantive effect.

Reasons for the Amendment

The VPCC Board believes that all such changes are necessary to adequately address the needs of the Combined Company after the Business Combination and are appropriate for a public operating company.

These changes will be implemented (subject to the approval of the aforementioned related proposals and Closing) if the VPCC Stockholders approve this Proposal No. 3H. We encourage stockholders to carefully review the terms of the Proposed Charter, attached hereto as Annex B.

Recommendation of the Board of Directors

THE VPCC BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” PROPOSAL NO. 3H.

178

PROPOSAL NO. 4—THE DIRECTOR ELECTION PROPOSAL

Overview

The VPCC Board is divided into three classes, with only one class of directors being elected in each year and each class (except for those directors appointed prior to VPCC’s first annual meeting of stockholders) serving a three-year term. In Proposal No. 4, we are requesting that stockholders approve and adopt a proposal to elect [●] directors to the Combined Company’s board of directors, effective immediately upon the Closing, with each Class I director having a term that expires at the Combined Company’s 2022 annual meeting of stockholders, each Class II director having a term that expires at the Combined Company’s 2023 annual meeting of stockholders, and each Class III director having a term that expires at the Combined Company’s 2024 annual meeting of stockholders, or in each case until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified, or until their earlier resignation, removal or death. For more information on the experience of the proposed management team of the Combined Company, please see the section titled “Management After the Business Combination” commencing on page 244 of this proxy statement/prospectus.

Vote Required for Approval

If a quorum is present, directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast, in person or by proxy. This means that the [●] nominees who receive the most affirmative votes will be elected. Votes marked “FOR” a nominee will be counted in favor of that nominee. Proxies will have full discretion to cast votes for other persons in the event that any nominee is unable to serve. If a valid quorum is otherwise established, failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person at the Special Meeting, abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the vote for the Director Election Proposal. This proposal is conditioned upon the approval of the other Condition Precedent Proposals. If any of the other Condition Precedent Proposals is not approved, this proposal will have no effect, even if approved by the VPCC Stockholders.

Recommendation of the Board of Directors

THE VPCC BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE ELECTION OF EACH OF THE [●] DIRECTOR NOMINEES TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS.

179

PROPOSAL NO. 5—APPROVAL OF THE 2021 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

In this Proposal No. 5, VPCC is asking the VPCC Stockholders to approve the Dave Inc. 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (referred to elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus as the “2021 Plan”). The VPCC Board intends to approve the 2021 Plan, and subject to VPCC Stockholder approval at the VPCC extraordinary general meeting. If the 2021 Plan is approved by the VPCC Stockholders, the 2021 Plan will become effective on the Closing Date (the “2021 Plan Effective Date”). If the 2021 Plan is not approved by the VPCC Stockholders, it will not become effective and no stock awards will be granted thereunder. The 2021 Plan is described in more detail below. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the 2021 Plan, a copy of which is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex C.

The 2021 Plan is intended to replace Dave Inc. 2017 Stock Plan (the “2017 Plan”). The Dave Board terminated the 2017 Plan, effective as of and contingent upon the Closing. Following the Closing, no additional stock awards will be granted under the 2017 Plan, although all outstanding stock awards granted under the 2017 Plan immediately prior to the Closing will be assumed by us and continue to be subject to the terms and conditions as set forth in the agreements evidencing such stock awards and the terms of the 2017 Plan.

Reasons to Approve the 2021 Plan

The purpose of the 2021 Plan is to enhance our ability to attract, retain and incentivize employees, independent contractors and directors and promote the success of our business. We consider equity compensation to be a vital element of our compensation program and believe that the ability to grant stock awards at competitive levels is in the best interest of us and our stockholders. Our board of directors believes the 2021 Plan is critical in enabling us to grant stock awards as an incentive and retention tool as we continue to compete for talent.

Approval of the 2021 Plan by our stockholders is required, among other things, in order to comply with stock exchange rules requiring stockholder approval of equity compensation plans and allow the grant of incentive stock options under the 2021 Plan. If the 2021 Plan is approved by the VPCC Stockholders, the 2021 Plan will become effective as of the Closing and we will register the necessary shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock on a Registration Statement on Form S-8. Approval of the 2021 Plan is a condition to closing of the Business Combination under the Merger Agreement.

Description of the 2021 Plan

Set forth below is a summary of the material features of the 2021 Plan. The 2021 Plan is set forth in its entirety as Annex C to this proxy statement/prospectus, and all descriptions of the 2021 Plan contained in this Proposal No. 5 are qualified by reference to Annex C.

Purpose

The 2021 Plan is intended to (i) attract and retain the best available personnel to ensure our success and accomplish our goals; (ii) incentivize employees, directors and independent contractors with long-term equity-based compensation to align their interests with our stockholders, and (iii) promote the success of our business.

Types of Stock Awards

The 2021 Plan permits the grant of incentive stock options, nonstatutory stock options, stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), restricted stock, restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and stock bonus awards (all such types of awards, collectively, “stock awards”).

Share Reserve

Number of Shares

Subject to adjustments as set forth in the 2021 Plan, the maximum aggregate number of shares that may be issued under the 2021 Plan will be equal to 10% of the aggregate number of shares of Combined Company Common

180

Stock issued and outstanding immediately after the Closing on a fully-diluted and as-converted basis (after giving effect to the VPCC Share Redemptions, if any), less the aggregate number of shares subject to unvested Rollover Options as of the Closing. The shares may be authorized, but unissued, or reacquired Combined Company Class A Common Stock. Furthermore, subject to adjustments as set forth in the 2021 Plan, in no event shall the maximum aggregate number of shares that may be issued under the 2021 Plan pursuant to Incentive Stock Options exceed the number set forth above plus, to the extent allowable under Section 422 of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder, any shares that again become available for issuance pursuant to the 2021 Plan.

The number of shares available for issuance under the 2021 Plan will be increased on the first day of each fiscal year beginning with the 2022 fiscal year until the 2021 Plan terminates, in each case, in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) 5% of the shares of Combined Company Common Stock issued and outstanding on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year on a fully-diluted and as-converted basis, (ii) the number of shares of Combined Company Common Stock initially reserved for issuance under the 2021 Plan and (iii) such smaller number of shares determined by our board of directors.

Lapsed Awards

To the extent a stock award, Rollover Option or Rollover Restricted Stock expires or is forfeited or becomes unexercisable for any reason without having been exercised in full, or is surrendered pursuant to an exchange program (as defined in the 2021 Plan), the unissued shares that were subject thereto shall continue to be available under the 2021 Plan for issuance pursuant to future stock awards. In addition, any shares which are retained by us upon exercise of a stock award, Rollover Option or Rollover Restricted Stock in order to satisfy the exercise or purchase price for such stock award, Rollover Option or Rollover Restricted Stock or any withholding taxes due with respect to such stock award, Rollover Option or Rollover Restricted Stock shall be treated as not issued and shall continue to be available under the 2021 Plan for issuance pursuant to future stock awards. Shares issued under the 2021 Plan, a Rollover Option or Rollover Restricted Stock and later forfeited to us due to the failure to vest or repurchased by us at the original purchase price paid to us for the shares (including without limitation upon forfeiture to or repurchase by us in connection with a participant ceasing to be a service provider) shall again be available for future grant under the 2021 Plan. To the extent a stock award under the 2021 Plan, Rollover Option or Rollover Restricted Stock is paid out in cash rather than shares, such cash payment will not result in reducing the number of shares available for issuance under the 2021 Plan.

Assumption or Substitution of Awards

The Plan Administrator (as defined below), from time to time, may determine to substitute or assume outstanding awards granted by another company, whether in connection with an acquisition of such other company or otherwise, by either: (a) assuming such award under the 2021 Plan or (b) granting a stock award under the 2021 Plan in substitution of such other company’s award. Such assumption or substitution will be permissible if the holder of the substituted or assumed award would have been eligible to be granted a stock award under the 2021 Plan if the other company had applied the rules of the 2021 Plan to such grant. In the event the Plan Administrator elects to assume an award granted by another company, subject to the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, the purchase price or the exercise price, as the case may be, and the number and nature of shares issuable upon exercise or settlement of any such stock award will be adjusted appropriately. In the event the Plan Administrator elects to grant a new option in substitution rather than assuming an existing option, such new option may be granted with a similarly adjusted exercise price. Any awards that are assumed or substituted under the 2021 Plan shall not reduce the number of shares authorized for grant under the 2021 Plan or authorized for grant to a participant in any fiscal year.

Eligibility

Employees, directors and independent contractors of us or our affiliates are all eligible to participate in the 2021 Plan. Incentive Stock Options may only be granted to employees. Following the Closing, the Combined

181

Company is expected to have approximately 200 employees, 5 consultants and 3 non-employee directors who will be eligible to be granted stock awards under the 2021 Plan.

Administration

The 2021 Plan will be administered by our board of directors or a committee thereof, which committee will be constituted to satisfy applicable laws (the “Plan Administrator”). To the extent desirable to qualify transactions under the 2021 Plan as exempt under Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act, the transactions contemplated under the 2021 Plan will be structured to satisfy the requirements for exemption under Rule 16b-3.

Subject to the terms of the 2021 Plan, the Plan Administrator has the authority, in its discretion, to (i) determine the fair market value in accordance with the 2021 Plan; (ii) select the service providers to whom stock awards may be granted under the 2021 Plan; (iii) determine the number of shares to be covered by each stock award granted under the 2021 Plan; (iv) approve forms of stock award agreements for use under the 2021 Plan; (v) determine the terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of the 2021 Plan, of any stock award granted thereunder; (vi) institute and determine the terms and conditions of an exchange program under the terms of the 2021 Plan (subject to stockholder approval); (vii) construe and interpret the terms of the 2021 Plan and stock awards granted pursuant to the 2021 Plan; (viii) correct any defect, supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency in the 2021 Plan, any stock award or any award agreement; (ix) prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the 2021 Plan; (x) modify or amend each stock award (subject to the terms of the 2021 Plan); (xi) adjust performance goals to take into account changes in applicable laws or in accounting or tax rules, or such other extraordinary, unforeseeable, nonrecurring or infrequently occurring events or circumstances as the Plan Administrator deems necessary or appropriate to avoid windfalls or hardships; (xii) allow participants to satisfy tax withholding obligations in such manner as prescribed in the 2021 Plan; (xiii) authorize any person to execute on our behalf any instrument required to effect the grant of a stock award previously granted by the Plan Administrator; (xiv) allow a participant to defer the receipt of the payment of cash or the delivery of shares that would otherwise be due to such participant under a stock award; and (xv) make all other determinations deemed necessary or advisable for administering the 2021 Plan.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Plan Administrator, in its sole discretion and on such terms and conditions as it may provide, may delegate all or any part of its authority and powers under the 2021 Plan to one or more of our directors or officers. To the extent permitted by applicable laws, the Plan Administrator may delegate to one or more officers who may be (but are not required to be) insiders subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, the authority to do any of the following (i) designate employees who are not insiders to be recipients of stock awards, (ii) determine the number of shares to be subject to such stock awards granted to such designated employees, and (iii) take any and all actions on behalf of the Plan Administrator other than any actions that affect the amount or form of compensation of Insiders or have material tax, accounting, financial, human resource or legal consequences to us or our affiliates; provided, however, that the Plan Administrator resolutions regarding any delegation with respect to (i) and (ii) will specify the total number of shares that may be subject to the stock awards granted by such officer and that such officer may not grant a stock award to himself or herself. Any stock awards will be granted on the form of award agreement most recently approved for use by the Plan Administrator, unless otherwise provided in the resolutions approving the delegation authority.

The Plan Administrator will, in its sole discretion, determine the performance goals, if any, applicable to any stock award (including any adjustment(s) thereto that will be applied in determining the achievement of such performance goals) on or prior to the Determination Date (as defined in the 2021 Plan). The performance goals may differ from participant to participant and from stock award to stock award. The Plan Administrator shall determine and approve the extent to which such performance goals have been timely achieved and the extent to which the shares subject to such stock award have thereby been earned. Please refer to the discussion below under “—Performance Goals” for more information.

Stock awards granted to participants who are insiders subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act must be approved by two or more “non-employee directors” of the Board (as defined in the regulations promulgated under Section 16 of the Exchange Act).

182

Stock Options

Each stock option will be designated in the stock award agreement as either an incentive stock option (which is entitled to potentially favorable tax treatment) or a nonstatutory stock option. However, notwithstanding such designation, to the extent that the aggregate fair market value of the shares with respect to which incentive stock options are exercisable for the first time by the participant during any calendar year exceeds $100,000, such stock options will be treated as nonstatutory stock options. Incentive stock options may only be granted to employees.

The term of each stock option will be stated in the stock award agreement. In the case of an incentive stock option, the term will be 10 years from the date of grant or such shorter term as may be provided in the stock award agreement. Moreover, in the case of an incentive stock option granted to a participant who owns stock representing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of our stock or the stock of any subsidiary, the term of the incentive stock option will be 5 years from the date of grant or such shorter term as may be provided in the stock award agreement.

The per share exercise price for the shares to be issued pursuant to exercise of a stock option will be determined by the Plan Administrator, subject to the following: in the case of an incentive stock option (i) granted to an employee who, at the time the incentive stock option is granted, owns stock representing more than 10% of the voting power of all classes of our stock or the stock of any subsidiary, the per share exercise price will be no less than 110% of the fair market value per share on the date of grant; and (ii) granted to any other employee, the per share exercise price will be no less than 100% of the fair market value per share on the date of grant. In the case of a nonstatutory stock option, the per share exercise price will be no less than 100% of the fair market value per share on the date of grant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, stock options may be granted with a per share exercise price of less than 100% of the fair market value per share on the date of grant pursuant to a corporate reorganization, liquidation, etc., described in Section 424(a) of the Code.

At the time a stock option is granted, the Plan Administrator will fix the period within which the stock option may be exercised and will determine any conditions that must be satisfied before the stock option may be exercised. A stock option may become exercisable upon completion of a specified period of service with us or one of our affiliates and/or based on the achievement of performance goals during a performance period as set out in advance in the participant’s award agreement. If a stock option is exercisable based on the satisfaction of performance goals, then the Plan Administrator will: (x) determine the nature, length and starting date of any performance period for such stock option; (y) select the performance goals to be used to measure the performance; and (z) determine what additional vesting conditions, if any, should apply. Please refer to the discussion below under “—Performance Goals” for more information. The Plan Administrator will also determine the acceptable form of consideration for exercising a stock option, including the method of payment.

If a participant ceases to be a service provider other than for “Cause” (as defined in the 2021 Plan), the participant may exercise his or her stock option within such period of time as is specified in the stock award agreement to the extent that the stock option is vested on the date of termination (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such stock option). In the absence of a specified time in the stock award agreement, to the extent vested as of a participant’s termination, the stock option will remain exercisable for 12 months following a termination for death or disability, and 3 months following a termination for any other reason. Any outstanding stock option (including any vested portion thereof) held by a participant shall immediately terminate in its entirety upon the participant being first notified of his or her termination for Cause.

Stock Appreciation Rights (SARs)

The Plan Administrator will determine the terms and conditions of each SAR, provided that the exercise price for each SAR will be no less than 100% of the fair market value of the underlying shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock on the date of grant. A SAR may become exercisable upon completion of a specified period of service with us or one of our affiliates and/or based on the achievement of performance goals during a performance period as set out in advance in the participant’s award agreement. If a SAR is exercisable based on

183

the satisfaction of performance goals, then the Plan Administrator will: (x) determine the nature, length and starting date of any performance period for such SAR; (y) select the performance goals to be used to measure the performance; and (z) determine what additional vesting conditions, if any, should apply. Please refer to the discussion below under “—Performance Goals” for more information. Upon exercise of a SAR, a participant will receive payment from us in an amount determined by multiplying the difference between the fair market value of a share on the date of exercise over the exercise price by the number of shares with respect to which the SAR is exercised. SARs may be paid in cash or shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock, as determined by the Plan Administrator. SARs are exercisable at the times and on the terms established by the Plan Administrator.

Restricted Stock and RSUs

Restricted stock awards are grants of shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock that are subject to various restrictions, including restrictions on transferability and forfeiture provisions. Shares of restricted stock will vest and the restrictions on such shares will lapse in accordance with terms and conditions established by the Plan Administrator. Each RSU is a bookkeeping entry representing an amount equal to the fair market value of one share of Combined Company Class A Common Stock. Restrictions may lapse upon the completion of a specified period of service with us or one of our affiliates and/or based on the achievement of performance goals during a performance period as set out in advance in the participant’s award agreement. If the unvested shares of restricted stock or RSUs are being earned upon the satisfaction of performance goals, then the Plan Administrator will: (x) determine the nature, length and starting date of any performance period for each unvested share or RSU; (y) select the performance goals to be used to measure the performance; and (z) determine what additional vesting conditions, if any, should apply.

In determining whether restricted stock or RSUs should be granted, and/or the vesting schedule for such a stock award, the Plan Administrator may impose whatever conditions on vesting as it determines to be appropriate. For example, the Plan Administrator may determine to grant restricted stock or RSUs only if performance goals established by the Plan Administrator are satisfied. Any performance goals may be applied on a Company-wide or an individual business unit basis, as determined by the Plan Administrator. Please refer to the discussion below under “—Performance Goals” for more information.

During the period of restriction, participants holding restricted stock may exercise full voting rights and will be entitled to receive all dividends and other distributions paid, in each case with respect to such shares unless the Plan Administrator determines otherwise. If any such dividends or distributions are paid in shares, the shares will be subject to the same restrictions, including without limitation restrictions on transferability and forfeitability, as the restricted stock with respect to which they were paid. During the period of restriction, such dividends or other distributions shall be subject to the same restrictions and risk of forfeiture as the shares of restricted stock with respect to which the dividends accrue and shall not be paid or distributed unless and until such related shares have vested and been earned.

During the vesting period, participants holding RSUs will hold no voting rights by virtue of such RSUs. The Plan Administrator may, in its sole discretion, award dividend equivalents in connection with the grant of RSUs that may be settled in cash, in shares of equivalent value, or in some combination thereof.

Stock Bonus Awards

A stock bonus award is an award of shares to an eligible person without a purchase price that is not subject to any restrictions. All stock bonus awards may but are not required to be made pursuant to an award agreement. The Plan Administrator will determine the number of shares to be awarded to the participant under a stock bonus award. Payment may be made in the form of cash, whole shares, or a combination thereof, based on the fair market value of the shares subject to the stock bonus award on the date of payment, as determined in the sole discretion of the Administrator.

184

Performance Goals

The Plan Administrator in its discretion may make performance goals applicable to a participant with respect to a stock award. In the Plan Administrator’s discretion, one or more of the following performance goals may apply: (1) sales or non-sales revenue; (2) return on revenues; (3) operating income; (4) income or earnings including operating income; (5) income or earnings before or after taxes, interest, depreciation and/or amortization; (6) income or earnings from continuing operations; (7) net income; (8) pre-tax income or after-tax income; (9) net income excluding amortization of intangible assets, depreciation and impairment of goodwill and intangible assets and/or excluding charges attributable to the adoption of new accounting pronouncements; (10) raising of financing or fundraising; (11) project financing; (12) revenue backlog; (13) gross margin; (14) operating margin or profit margin; (15) capital expenditures, cost targets, reductions and savings and expense management; (16) return on assets, return on investment, return on capital, or return on stockholder equity; (17) cash flow, free cash flow, cash flow return on investment, net cash provided by operations, or cash flow in excess of cost of capital; (18) performance warranty and/or guarantee claims; (19) stock price or total stockholder return; (20) earnings or book value per share; (21) economic value created; (22) pre-tax profit or after-tax profit; (23) strategic business criteria; (24) objective goals relating to divestitures, joint ventures, mergers, acquisitions and similar transactions; (25) objective goals relating to staff management, results from staff attitude and/or opinion surveys, staff satisfaction scores, staff safety, staff accident and/or injury rates, compliance, headcount, performance management, completion of critical staff training initiatives; (26) objective goals relating to projects; and (27) enterprise resource planning. Stock awards issued to participants may take into account other criteria (including subjective criteria).

Outside Director Limitations

Stock awards granted during a single fiscal year under the 2021 Plan or otherwise, taken together with any cash fees paid during such fiscal year for services on the board of directors, shall not exceed $750,000 in total value for any non-employee director (“Outside Director”), except with respect to the first year of service in which case any stock awards granted and cash fees paid will not exceed $1,000,000 in total value (calculating the value of any such stock awards, in each case, based on the grant date fair value of such stock awards for financial reporting purposes). Such applicable limit shall include the value of any stock awards that are received in lieu of all or a portion of any annual committee cash retainers or other similar cash based payments. Stock awards granted to an individual while he or she was serving in the capacity as an employee or while he or she was an independent contractor but not an Outside Director will not count for purposes of these limitations.

Leaves of Absence / Transfer Between Locations

The Plan Administrator has the discretion to determine at any time whether and to what extent the vesting of stock awards shall be suspended during any leave of absence; provided that in the absence of such determination, vesting of stock awards will continue during any paid leave and will be suspended during any unpaid leave (unless otherwise required by applicable laws). A participant will not cease to be an employee in the case of (i) any leave of absence approved by the participant’s employer or (ii) transfers between our locations or between us and any subsidiary. If an employee holds an incentive stock option and such leave exceeds 3 months then, for purposes of incentive stock option status only, such employee’s service as an employee shall be deemed terminated on the first day following such 3 month period and the incentive stock option shall thereafter automatically be treated for tax purposes as a nonstatutory stock option in accordance with applicable laws, unless reemployment upon the expiration of such leave is guaranteed by contract or statute, or unless provided otherwise pursuant to a written Company policy.

Change in Time Commitment

In the event a participant’s regular level of time commitment in the performance of his or her services for us or one of our affiliates is reduced (for example, and without limitation, if the participant is an employee and the employee has a change in status from full-time to part-time or takes an extended leave of absence) after the date

185

of grant of any stock award, the Plan Administrator, in its sole discretion, may (x) make a corresponding reduction in the number of shares or cash amount subject to any portion of such stock award that is scheduled to vest or become payable after the date of such change in time commitment, and (y) in lieu of or in combination with such a reduction, extend the vesting schedule applicable to such stock award (in accordance with Section 409A of the Code, as applicable). In the event of any such reduction, the participant will have no right with respect to any portion of the stock award that is so amended.

Nontransferability of Stock Awards

Unless determined otherwise by the Plan Administrator, a stock award may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution and may be exercised, during the lifetime of the participant, only by the participant. If the Plan Administrator makes a stock award transferable, such stock award will contain such additional terms and conditions as the Plan Administrator deems appropriate; provided, however, that in no event may any stock award be transferred for consideration to a third-party financial institution.

Recoupment Policy

The Plan Administrator may specify in an award agreement that the participant’s rights, payments, and/or benefits with respect to a stock award will be subject to reduction, cancellation, forfeiture, and/or recoupment upon the occurrence of certain specified events, in addition to any applicable vesting, performance or other conditions and restrictions of a stock award. Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary under the 2021 Plan, a stock award granted under the 2021 Plan shall be subject to the Company’s clawback policy as may be established and/or amended from time to time. The Plan Administrator may require a participant to forfeit or return to and/or reimburse us for all or a portion of the stock award and/or shares issued under the stock award, any amounts paid under the stock award, and any payments or proceeds paid or provided upon disposition of the shares issued under the stock award, pursuant to the terms of such company policy or as necessary or appropriate to comply with applicable laws.

Adjustment

In the event of a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination, consolidation, recapitalization or reclassification of the shares, subdivision of the shares, a rights offering, a reorganization, merger, spin-off, split-up, repurchase, or exchange of Combined Company Class A Common Stock or other securities of us or other significant corporate transaction, or other change affecting the Combined Company Class A Common Stock occurs, the Plan Administrator, in order to prevent dilution, diminution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the 2021 Plan, will, in such manner as it may deem equitable, adjust the number, kind and class of securities that may be delivered under the 2021 Plan and/or the number, class, kind and price of securities covered by each outstanding stock award; provided that all such adjustment will be made in a manner that does not result in taxation under Section 409A of the Code (“Section 409A”).

Corporate Transaction

In the event of (i) a transfer of all or substantially all of our assets, (ii) a merger, consolidation or other capital reorganization or business combination transaction of us with or into another corporation, entity or person, (iii) the consummation of a transaction, or series of related transactions, in which any person becomes the beneficial owner directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of our then outstanding capital stock or (iv) a Change in Control (as defined in 2021 Plan), each outstanding stock award (vested or unvested) will be treated as the Plan Administrator determines, which determination may provide for one or more of the following: (a) the continuation of such outstanding stock awards (if we are the surviving corporation); (b) the assumption of such outstanding stock awards by the surviving corporation or its parent; (c) the substitution by the surviving

186

corporation or its parent of new stock options or other equity awards for such stock awards; (d) the cancellation of such stock awards in exchange for a payment to the participants equal to the excess of (1) the fair market value of the shares subject to such stock awards as of the closing date of such corporate transaction over (2) the exercise price or purchase price paid or to be paid (if any) for the shares subject to the stock awards (which payment may be subject to the same conditions that apply to the consideration that will be paid to holders of shares in connection with the transaction, subject to applicable law); (e) the full or partial acceleration of exercisability or vesting and accelerated expiration of an outstanding stock award and lapse of our right to repurchase or re-acquire shares acquired under a stock award or lapse of forfeiture rights with respect to shares acquired under a stock award; (e) the opportunity for participants to exercise the stock options prior to the occurrence of the corporate transaction and the termination (for no consideration) upon the consummation of such corporate transaction of any stock options not exercised prior thereto; or (f) the cancellation of outstanding stock awards in exchange for no consideration.

Change in Control

A stock award may be subject to additional acceleration of vesting and exercisability upon or after a “Change in Control” (as defined in the 2021 Plan) as may be provided in the award agreement for such stock award or as may be provided in any other written agreement between us or any affiliate and the participant, but in the absence of such provision, no such acceleration will occur.

Amendment, Termination and Duration of the 2021 Plan

If approved by our stockholders, the 2021 Plan will continue in effect for a term of 10 years measured from , unless terminated earlier under the terms of the 2021 Plan. The Plan Administrator may at any time amend, alter, suspend or terminate the 2021 Plan.

U.S. Federal Tax Aspects

A participant who receives a stock option or SAR will not have taxable income upon the grant of the stock option or SAR. For nonstatutory stock options and SARs, the participant will recognize ordinary income upon exercise in an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of the shares over the exercise price—the appreciation value—on the date of exercise. Any additional gain or loss recognized upon any later disposition of the shares generally will be long-term or short-term capital gain or loss, depending on whether the shares are held for more than one year.

The purchase of shares upon exercise of an incentive stock option will not result in any taxable income to the participant, except for purposes of the alternative minimum tax. Gain or loss recognized by the participant on a later sale or other disposition of the shares will be capital gain or loss and/or ordinary income depending upon whether the participant holds the shares transferred upon exercise for a specified period. If the shares are held for the specified period, any gain generally will be taxed at long-term capital-gain rates. If the shares are not held for the specified period, generally any gain up to the excess of the fair market value of the shares on the date of exercise over the exercise price will be treated as ordinary income. Any additional gain generally will be taxable at long-term or short-term capital-gain rates, depending on whether the participant held the shares for more than one year after the exercise date.

A participant who receives restricted stock will not have taxable income until vesting unless the participant timely files an election under Section 83(b) of the Code to be taxed at the time of grant. The participant will recognize ordinary income equal to the fair market value of the shares at the time of vesting less the amount paid for such shares (if any) if no such election is made. Any additional gain or loss recognized upon any later disposition of the shares generally will be long-term or short-term capital gain or loss, depending on whether the shares are held for more than one year. If a participant timely files a Section 83(b) election, the participant will recognize ordinary income equal to the fair market value of the shares at the time of purchase or grant less the amount paid for such shares (if any).

187

A participant who receives RSUs, performance units or performance shares will not have taxable income upon grant of the stock award; instead the participant will be taxed upon settlement of the stock award. The participant will recognize ordinary income equal to the fair market value of the shares or the amount of cash received by the participant. In addition, Section 409A imposes certain restrictions on deferred compensation arrangements. Stock awards that are treated as deferred compensation under Section 409A are intended to meet the requirements of this section of the Code.

The Plan Administrator may, at its discretion and pursuant to such procedures as it may specify from time to time, permit a participant to satisfy such withholding or deduction obligations or any other tax-related items, in whole or in part by (without limitation) paying cash, electing to have us withhold otherwise deliverable cash or shares, or delivering to us already-owned shares; provided that, unless the Plan Administrator permits otherwise, any proceeds derived from a cashless exercise must be an approved broker-assisted cashless exercise or the cash or shares withheld or delivered must be limited to avoid financial accounting charges under applicable accounting guidance or shares must have been previously held for the minimum duration required to avoid financial accounting charges under applicable accounting guidance. The fair market value of the shares to be withheld or delivered will be determined based on such methodology that we deem to be reasonable and in accordance with applicable laws.

We will be entitled to a tax deduction in connection with a stock award under the 2021 Plan only in an amount equal to the ordinary income realized by the participant and at the time the participant recognizes the income. Section 162(m) of the Code places a limit of $1 million on the amount of compensation that we may deduct as a business expense in any year with respect to certain of our most highly paid executive officers. While the Plan Administrator considers the deductibility of compensation as one factor in determining executive compensation, the Plan Administrator retains the discretion to award and pay compensation that is not deductible as it believes that it is in the best interests of our stockholders to maintain flexibility in our approach to executive compensation and to structure a program that we consider to be the most effective in attracting, motivating and retaining key employees.

New Plan Benefits

The 2021 Plan does not provide for set benefits or amounts of awards and we have not approved any stock awards that are conditioned on stockholder approval of the 2021 Plan. We have not approved any stock awards under the 2021 Plan in connection with the business combination. All future awards to directors, executive officers, employees and consultants under the 2021 Plan are discretionary and cannot be determined at this time.

Recommendation of the Board of Directors

THE VPCC BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT ITS STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE 2021 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN PROPOSAL

189

PROPOSAL NO. 6—APPROVAL OF THE 2021 EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN

In this Proposal No. 6, VPCC is asking its stockholders to approve the Dave Inc. 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (referred to elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus as the “Employee Stock Purchase Plan”). The VPCC Board intends to approve the Employee Stock Purchase Plan prior to, and subject to stockholder approval at, the Special Meeting. If the Employee Stock Purchase Plan is approved by our stockholders, the Employee Stock Purchase Plan will become effective on the Closing Date. If the Employee Stock Purchase Plan is not approved by our stockholders, it will not become effective and no shares will be granted thereunder. The Employee Stock Purchase Plan is described in more detail below. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, a copy of which is attached hereto as Annex D.

Reasons to Approve the Employee Stock Purchase Plan

Approval of the Employee Stock Purchase Plan by our stockholders is required in order for the Employee Stock Purchase Plan to qualify as an “employee stock purchase plan” under Section 423 of the Code. If the Employee Stock Purchase Plan is approved by our stockholders, the Employee Stock Purchase Plan will become effective as of the Closing and we will register the necessary shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock on a Registration Statement on Form S-8.

Description of the Employee Stock Purchase Plan

Purpose

The Employee Stock Purchase Plan provides a means by which eligible employees and/or eligible service providers of either our company or an affiliate may be given an opportunity to purchase shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock. The Employee Stock Purchase Plan permits us to grant a series of purchase rights to eligible employees and/or eligible service providers. By means of the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, we seek to retain and assist any of our affiliates in retaining the services of such eligible employees and eligible service providers, to secure and retain the services of new eligible employees and eligible service providers and to provide incentives for such persons to exert maximum efforts for our success and that of our affiliates. Following the Closing, the Combined Company is expected to have approximately 200 employees who will be eligible to participate in the Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

The Employee Stock Purchase Plan includes two components: a “423 Component” and a “Non-423 Component.” We intend the 423 Component to qualify as an Employee Stock Purchase Plan pursuant to Section 423 of the Code. The provisions of the 423 Component will be construed in a manner that is consistent with the requirements of Section 423 of the Code, including without limitation to extend and limit Employee Stock Purchase Plan participation in a uniform and non-discriminating basis. In addition, the Employee Stock Purchase Plan authorizes grants of purchase rights under the Non-423 Component that do not meet the requirements of an Employee Stock Purchase Plan under Section 423 of the Code. Except as otherwise provided in the Employee Stock Purchase Plan or determined by our board of directors, the Non-423 Component will operate and be administered in the same manner as the 423 Component. Eligible employees will be able to participate in the 423 Component or Non-423 Component of the Employee Stock Purchase Plan. Eligible service providers (who may or may not be eligible employees) will only be able to participate in the Non-423 Component of the Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

Administration

Our board of directors has the power to delegate administration of the Employee Stock Purchase Plan to a committee composed of not fewer than one member of our board of directors. The Employee Stock Purchase Plan will be administered by our board of directors or a committee thereof (“Employee Stock Purchase Plan Administrator”). The Employee Stock Purchase Plan Administrator has the final power to construe and interpret

190

both the Employee Stock Purchase Plan and the rights granted under it. The Employee Stock Purchase Plan Administrator has the power, subject to the provisions of the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, to determine when and how rights to purchase Combined Company Class A Common Stock will be granted, the provisions of each offering of such rights (which need not be identical), and whether any employee or other service provider will be eligible to participate in the Employee Stock Purchase Plan. Whether or not our board of directors has delegated administration of the Employee Stock Purchase Plan to a committee, the board of directors will have the final power to determine all questions of policy and expediency that may arise in the administration of the Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

Stock Subject to Employee Stock Purchase Plan

Subject to adjustments as provided in the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, the maximum number of shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock that may be issued under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan will be equal to 2% of the aggregate number of shares of Combined Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately after the Closing on a fully-diluted and as-converted basis (after giving effect to the VPCC Share Redemptions, if any), plus the number of shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock that are automatically added on the first day of each fiscal year beginning with the 2022 fiscal year and ending on (and including) the first day of the 2032 fiscal year in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) 1% of the shares of Combined Company Common Stock issued and outstanding on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year on a fully-diluted and as-converted basis, (ii) the number of shares of Combined Company Common Stock initially reserved for issuance under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, and (iii) such smaller number of shares of Combined Company Common Stock initially reserved for issuance under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan. If any purchase right granted under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan terminates without having been exercised in full, the shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock not purchased under such purchase right will again become available for issuance under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

Offerings

The Employee Stock Purchase Plan is implemented by offerings of rights to all eligible employees and eligible service providers from time to time. Offerings may comprise one or more purchase periods. The maximum length for an offering under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan is 27 months. The provisions of separate offerings need not be identical. When a participant elects to join an offering, he or she is granted a purchase right to acquire shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock on each purchase date within the offering, each corresponding to the end of a purchase period within such offering. On each purchase date, all payroll deductions collected from the participant during such purchase period are automatically applied to the purchase of Combined Company Class A Common Stock , subject to certain limitations.

Eligibility

Purchase rights may be granted only to our employees, employees of qualifying related corporations or, solely with respect to the Non-423 Component, employees of an affiliate (other than a qualifying related corporation) or eligible service providers. The VPCC Board may provide that employees will not be eligible to be granted purchase rights under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan if, on the offering date, the employee (i) has not completed at least 2 years of service since the employee’s last hire date (or such lesser period as the Employee Stock Purchase Plan Administrator may determine), (ii) customarily works not more than 20 hours per week (or such lesser period as the Employee Stock Purchase Plan Administrator may determine), (iii) customarily works not more than 5 months per calendar year (or such lesser period as the Employee Stock Purchase Plan Administrator may determine), (iv) is a highly compensated employee within the meaning of the Code, or (v) has not satisfied such other criteria as the Employee Stock Purchase Plan Administrator may determine consistent with Section 423 of the Code. Unless otherwise determined by the Employee Stock Purchase Plan Administrator for any offering, an employee will not be eligible to be granted purchase rights unless, on the offering date, the employee customarily works more than 20 hours per week and more than 5 months per calendar year.

191

No employee will be eligible for the grant of any purchase rights if, immediately thereafter, such employee owns stock possessing 5% or more of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of our stock or the stock of any related corporation. An eligible employee may be granted purchase rights only if such purchase rights, together with any other rights granted under all our and any related corporations’ Employee Stock Purchase Plans, do not permit such eligible employee’s rights to purchase stock to accrue in excess of $25,000 worth of stock in any calendar year.

Participation in the Employee Stock Purchase Plan

On each offering date, each eligible employee or eligible service provider, pursuant to an offering made under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, will be granted a purchase right to purchase up to that number of shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock purchasable either with a percentage or with a maximum dollar amount, as designated by the Employee Stock Purchase Plan Administrator; provided however, that in the case of eligible employees, such percentage or maximum dollar amount will in either case not exceed 15% of such employee’s earnings during the period that begins on the offering date (or such later date as the Employee Stock Purchase Plan Administrator determines for a particular offering) and ends on the date stated in the offering, which date will be no later than the end of the offering, unless otherwise provided for in an offering.

Purchase Price

The purchase price of shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock acquired pursuant to purchase rights will be not less than the lesser of (i) 85% of the fair market value of the shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock on the offering date; or (ii) 85% of the fair market value of the shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock on the applicable purchase date (i.e., the last day of the applicable purchase period).

Payment of Purchase Price; Payroll Deductions

The purchase price of the shares is accumulated by payroll deductions over the offering. To the extent permitted in the offering document, a participant may increase, reduce or terminate his or her payroll deductions. All payroll deductions made on behalf of a participant are credited to his or her account under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan and deposited with our general funds. To the extent permitted in the offering document, a participant may make additional payments into such account. If required under applicable laws or if specifically provided in the offering, in addition to or instead of making contributions by payroll deductions, a participant may make contributions through a payment by cash, check, or wire transfer prior to a purchase date, in a manner we direct.

Purchase of Stock

The VPCC Board will establish one or more purchase dates during an offering on which purchase rights granted for that offering will be exercised and shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock will be purchased in accordance with such offering. In connection with each offering, the Employee Stock Purchase Plan Administrator may specify a maximum number of shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock that may be purchased by any participant or all participants. If the aggregate purchase of shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock issuable on exercise of purchase rights granted under the offering would exceed any such maximum aggregate number, then, in the absence of any Board action otherwise, a pro rata (based on each participant’s accumulated contributions) allocation of the shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock available will be made in as nearly a uniform manner as will be practicable and equitable.

Withdrawal

During an offering, a participant may cease making contributions and withdraw from the offering by delivering a withdrawal form. We may impose a deadline before a purchase date for withdrawing. On such withdrawal, such

192

participant’s purchase right in that offering will immediately terminate and we will distribute as soon as practicable to such participant all of his or her accumulated but unused contributions without interest and such participant’s purchase right in that offering will then terminate. A participant’s withdrawal from that offering will have no effect on his or her eligibility to participate in any other offerings under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, but such participant will be required to deliver a new enrollment form to participate in subsequent offerings.

Restart

To the extent more than one purchase period is provided during an offering, the Employee Stock Purchase Plan Administrator will have the discretion to structure such offering so that if the fair market value of a share on the first trading day of a new purchase period within that offering is less than or equal to the fair market value of a share on the offering date for that offering, then (i) that offering will terminate as of the purchase date specified with respect to such purchase period, after giving effect to such purchase on the applicable purchase date, (ii) all contribution amounts not applied to the purchase of shares after giving effect to such purchase on the applicable purchase date will be refunded to the applicable participants and (iii) the participants in such terminated offering will be automatically enrolled in a new offering beginning on the first trading day of such new offering period and purchase period.

Termination of Employment

Purchase rights granted pursuant to any offering under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan will terminate immediately if the participant either (i) is no longer an eligible employee or eligible service provider for any reason or for no reason, or (ii) is otherwise no longer eligible to participate. We shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when participant is no longer actively providing services and the date of the termination of employment or service for purposes of the Employee Stock Purchase Plan. As soon as practicable, we will distribute to such individual all of his or her accumulated but unused contributions without interest.

Leave of Absence

An employee will not be deemed to have terminated employment or failed to remain in the continuous employ of us or of a designated related corporation in the case of sick leave, military leave, or any other leave of absence approved by us; provided that such leave is for a period of not more than three (3) months or reemployment upon the expiration of such leave is guaranteed by contract or statute. We will have sole discretion to determine whether a participant has terminated employment and the effective date on which the participant terminated employment, regardless of any notice period or garden leave required under local law.

Employment Transfers

Unless otherwise determined by the VPCC Board, a participant whose employment transfers or whose employment terminates with an immediate rehire (with no break in service) by or between us and a designated related corporation or between designated related corporations will not be treated as having terminated employment for purposes of participating in the Employee Stock Purchase Plan or an offering; however, if a participant transfers from an offering under the 423 Component to an offering under the Non-423 Component, the exercise of the participant’s purchase right will be qualified under the 423 Component only to the extent such exercise complies with Section 423 of the Code. If a participant transfers from an offering under the Non-423 Component to an offering under the 423 Component, the exercise of the purchase right will remain non-qualified under the Non-423 Component. In the event that a participant’s purchase right is terminated under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, we will distribute as soon as practicable to such individual all of his or her accumulated but unused contributions.

193

Restrictions on Transfer

During a participant’s lifetime, purchase rights will be exercisable only by such participant. Purchase rights are not transferable by a participant, except by will, by the laws of descent and distribution, or, if we so permit, by a beneficiary designation.

Exercise of Purchase Rights

On each purchase date, each participant’s accumulated contributions will be applied to the purchase of shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock, up to the maximum number of shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock permitted by the Employee Stock Purchase Plan and the applicable offering, at the purchase price specified in the offering. Unless otherwise specified in the offering, no fractional shares will be issued and, if any amount of accumulated contributions remains in a participant’s account after the purchase of shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock on the final purchase date in an offering, such remaining amount will roll over to the next offering.

No purchase rights may be exercised to any extent unless and until the shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock to be issued on such exercise under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan are covered by an effective registration statement pursuant to the Securities Act, as amended, and the Employee Stock Purchase Plan is in material compliance with all applicable laws applicable to the Employee Stock Purchase Plan. If, on the purchase date, as delayed to the maximum extent permissible, the shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock are not registered and the Employee Stock Purchase Plan is not in material compliance with all applicable laws, no purchase rights will be exercised and all accumulated but unused contributions will be distributed as soon as practicable to the participants without interest.

Capitalization Adjustments

In the event of a capitalization adjustment, the Employee Stock Purchase Plan Administrator will appropriately and proportionately adjust: (i) the classes and maximum number of securities subject to the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, (ii) the classes and maximum number of securities by which the share reserve is to increase automatically each year pursuant to the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, (iii) the classes and number of securities subject to, and the purchase price applicable to outstanding offerings and purchase rights, and (iv) the classes and number of securities that are the subject of the purchase limits under each ongoing offering.

In the event of a spin-off or similar transaction, the VPCC Board may take actions deemed necessary or appropriate in connection with an ongoing offering and subject to compliance with applicable laws (including the assumption of purchase rights under an ongoing offering by the spun-off company, or shortening an offering and scheduling a new purchase date prior to the closing of such transaction). In the absence of any such action by the VPCC Board, a participant in an ongoing offering whose employer ceases to qualify as a related corporation as of the closing of a spin-off or similar transaction will be treated in the same manner as if the participant had terminated employment.

Dissolution or Liquidation

In the event of our company’s dissolution or liquidation, the Employee Stock Purchase Plan Administrator will shorten any offering then in progress by setting a new purchase date prior to the consummation of such proposed dissolution or liquidation. The VPCC Board will notify each participant in writing, prior to the new purchase date that the purchase date for the participant’s purchase rights has been changed to the new purchase date and that such purchase rights will be automatically exercised on the new purchase date, unless prior to such date the participant has withdrawn from the offering.

Effect of Certain Corporate Transactions

In the event of:

•

a transfer of all or substantially all of our company’s assets;

194

•

a merger, consolidation or other capital reorganization or business combination transaction of our company with or into another corporation, entity or person; or

•

the consummation of a transaction, or series of related transactions, in which any person becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of our then outstanding capital stock;

any surviving corporation or acquiring corporation (or the surviving or acquiring corporation’s parent company) may assume or continue outstanding purchase rights or may substitute similar rights for outstanding purchase rights, or, if any surviving or acquiring corporation (or its parent company) does not assume or continue such purchase rights or does not substitute similar rights for such purchase rights, then the participants’ accumulated contributions will be used to purchase shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock prior to the corporate transaction under the outstanding purchase rights, and the purchase rights will terminate immediately after such purchase. The VPCC Board will notify each participant in writing prior to the new purchase date that the purchase date for the participant’s purchase rights has been changed to the new purchase date and that such purchase rights will be automatically exercised on the new purchase date unless prior to such date the participant has withdrawn from the offering.

Amendment, Termination or Suspension of the Employee Stock Purchase Plan

The VPCC Board may amend the Employee Stock Purchase Plan at any time in any respect the Employee Stock Purchase Plan Administrator deems necessary or advisable. However, except with respect to capitalization adjustments described above, stockholder approval will be required for any amendment of the Employee Stock Purchase Plan for which stockholder approval is required by applicable laws, including any amendment that either (i) increases the number of shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock available for issuance under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, (ii) expands the class of individuals eligible to become participants and receive purchase rights, (iii) materially increases the benefits accruing to participants under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan or reduces the price at which shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock may be purchased under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, (iv) extends the term of the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, or (v) expands the types of awards available for issuance under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, but in each case only to the extent stockholder approval is required by applicable laws.

The VPCC Board may suspend or terminate the Employee Stock Purchase Plan at any time. No purchase rights may be granted under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan while the Employee Stock Purchase Plan is suspended or after it is terminated.

Any benefits, privileges, entitlements, and obligations under any outstanding purchase rights granted before an amendment, suspension, or termination of the Employee Stock Purchase Plan will not be materially impaired by any such amendment, suspension, or termination except (i) with the consent of the person to whom such purchase rights were granted, (ii) as necessary to comply with any laws, listing requirements, or governmental regulations, or (iii) as necessary to obtain or maintain any special tax, listing, or regulatory treatment.

The VPCC Board will be entitled to: (i) permit contributions in excess of the amount designated by a participant in order to adjust for mistakes in our processing of properly completed contribution elections; (ii) establish reasonable waiting and adjustment periods and/or accounting and crediting procedures to ensure that amounts applied toward the purchase of Combined Company Common Stock for each participant properly correspond with amounts withheld from the participant’s contributions; (iii) amend any outstanding purchase rights or clarify any ambiguities regarding the terms of any offering to enable the purchase rights to qualify under and/or comply with Section 423 of the Code; and (iv) establish other limitations or procedures as the VPCC Board determines in its sole discretion advisable that are consistent with the Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

Federal Income Tax Information

The following generally summarizes the U.S. federal income tax consequences that will arise with respect to participation in the Employee Stock Purchase Plan and with respect to the sale of Combined Company Class A

195

Common Stock acquired under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, but it is not a detailed or complete description of all U.S. federal tax laws or regulations that may apply, and does not address any local, state or foreign laws. Therefore, no one should rely on this summary for individual tax compliance, planning or decisions. Participants in the Employee Stock Purchase Plan should consult their own professional tax advisors concerning tax aspects of rights under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan. Nothing in this proxy statement/prospectus is written or intended to be used, and cannot be used, for the purposes of avoiding taxpayer penalties. The discussion below concerning tax deductions that may become available to us under U.S. federal tax law is not intended to imply that we will necessarily obtain a tax benefit or asset from those deductions. Taxation of equity-based payments in other countries is complex, does not generally correspond to federal tax laws, and is not covered by the summary below. This summary also assumes that the 423 Component complies with Section 423 of the Code and is based on the tax laws in effect as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus. Changes to these laws could alter the tax consequences described below.

As described above, the Employee Stock Purchase Plan has a 423 Component and a Non-423 Component. The tax consequences for a U.S. taxpayer will depend on whether he or she participates in the 423 Component or the Non-423 Component.

423 Component

Rights granted under the 423 Component are intended to qualify for favorable federal income tax treatment associated with rights granted under an employee stock purchase plan which qualifies under provisions of Section 423 of the Code. Under this component, a participant will be taxed on amounts withheld for the purchase of Combined Company Class A Common Stock as if such amounts are actually received. Otherwise, no income will be taxable to a participant as a result of the granting or exercise of a purchase right until disposition of the acquired shares. The taxation upon disposition will depend upon the holding period of the acquired shares:

•

If the stock is disposed of more than 2 years after the beginning of the offering and more than one year after the stock is transferred to the participant, then the lesser of (i) the excess of the fair market value of the stock at the time of such disposition over the purchase price, or (ii) the excess of the fair market value of the stock as of the beginning of the offering over the purchase price (determined as of the beginning of the offering) will be treated as ordinary income. Any further gain or any loss will be taxed as a long-term capital gain or loss.

•

If the stock is sold or disposed of before the expiration of either of the holding periods described above, then the excess of the fair market value of the stock on the purchase date over the purchase price will be treated as ordinary income at the time of such disposition. The balance of any gain will be treated as capital gain. Even if the stock is later disposed of for less than its fair market value on the purchase date, the same amount of ordinary income is attributed to the participant, and a capital loss is recognized equal to the difference between the sales price and the fair market value of the stock on such purchase date.

Any compensation income that a participant receives upon sale of the Combined Company Class A Common Stock that he or she purchased under the 423 Component is not subject to withholding for income, Medicare or social security taxes. Any capital gain or loss will be short-term or long-term, depending on how long the stock has been held.

Non-423 Component

Rights granted under the Non-423 Component are not intended to qualify for favorable federal income tax treatment associated with rights granted under an employee stock purchase plan which qualifies under provisions of Section 423 of the Code. Under this component, a participant will have compensation income equal to the value of the Combined Company Class A Common Stock on the day he or she purchases the Combined Company Class A Common Stock , less the purchase price. When a participant sells the Combined Company Class A Common Stock purchased under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, he or she also will have a capital

196

gain or loss equal to the difference between the sales proceeds and the value of the Combined Company Class A Common Stock on the day he or she purchased the stock. Any capital gain or loss will be short-term or long-term, depending on how long the stock has been held.

Any compensation income that a participant receives upon sale of the Combined Company Class A Common Stock that he or she purchased under the Non-423 Component is subject to withholding for income, Medicare and social security taxes, as applicable.

Tax Consequences to Dave

If the participant makes a disqualifying disposition of shares purchased under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, the excess of the fair market value of the shares on the date of purchase over the purchase price will be treated as ordinary income to the participant at the time of such disposition and the Combined Company will be entitled to an income tax deduction for the same amount for the taxable year of the Combined Company in which the disposition occurs, although the income tax deduction may be limited by the deductibility of compensation paid to certain of our officers under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. In no other instance will the Combined Company be allowed a deduction with respect to the participant’s disposition of the purchased shares. Any additional gain (or loss) on the disposition will be a capital gain (or loss) to the participant.

New Plan Benefits

Participation in the Employee Stock Purchase Plan is voluntary and each eligible employee will make his or her own decision whether and to what extent to participate in the Employee Stock Purchase Plan. It is therefore not possible to determine the benefits or amounts that will be received in the future by individual employees or groups of employees under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

Vote Required for Approval

The approval of the Employee Stock Purchase Plan Proposal requires that a majority of the votes cast by holders of outstanding shares of VPCC Common Stock represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting vote “FOR” the Employee Stock Purchase Plan Proposal. If a valid quorum is otherwise established, failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person at the Special Meeting will have no effect on the vote. Abstentions will have no effect on the vote for this proposal.

This proposal is conditioned upon the approval of the other Condition Precedent Proposals. If any of the other Condition Precedent Proposals is not approved, this proposal will have no effect, even if approved by the VPCC Stockholders.

Recommendation of the Board of Directors

THE VPCC BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT ITS STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN PROPOSAL.

197

PROPOSAL NO. 7—THE SHARE ISSUANCE PROPOSAL

APPROVAL OF THE ISSUANCE OF COMMON STOCK CONSIDERATION IN CONNECTION WITH THE BUSINESS COMBINATION AND THE PIPE INVESTMENT

Overview

Assuming the Business Combination Proposal is approved, the consideration payable in connection with the Closing will be paid to Dave Interest Holders pursuant to the Merger Agreement through stock consideration consisting of (i) newly issued shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock valued at $10.00 per share and (ii) newly issued shares of Combined Company Class V Common Stock valued at $10.00. Based on the assumptions set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus, VPCC expects (i) the number of shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock to be issued as consideration to Dave’s Interest Holders to be equal to 267,773,068 in both the no redemption and maximum redemption scenarios (1,200,000 of which would immediately be repurchased by VPCC in the no redemption scenario pursuant to the Repurchase Agreement) and (ii) the number of shares of Combined Company Class V Common Stock to be issued as consideration to Dave’s Interest Holders to be equal to 75,880,593 in both the no redemption and maximum redemption scenarios (4,800,00 of which would immediately be repurchased by VPCC in the no redemption scenario pursuant to the Repurchase Agreement), and expects to assume Rollover Options for 24,557,031 shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock.

VPCC has also entered into Subscription Agreements with the PIPE Investors pursuant to which VPCC will issue and sell to the PIPE Investors 21,000,000 shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $210,000,000, and VPCC may enter into subscription agreements to issue and sell additional shares prior to Closing.

At the Closing, the Combined Company, the Founder Holders and certain Dave Stockholders (including, without limitation, the Written Consent Parties), in each case who will receive Combined Company Common Stock pursuant to the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, will enter into the Investor Rights Agreement in respect of the shares of Combined Company Common Stock held by the Founder Holders and such Dave Stockholders following the Closing. Pursuant to such agreement, among other things, such holders and their permitted transferees will be entitled to certain customary registration rights, including, among other things, demand, shelf and piggy-back rights, subject to cut-back provisions. Pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreement, the Founder Holders and such Dave Stockholders will agree not to sell, transfer, pledge or otherwise dispose of shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock, shares of Combined Company Class V Common Stock or other securities exercisable therefor (as applicable), other than in connection with certain permitted transfers specified in the Investor Rights Agreement, for (i) in respect of the Dave Stockholders, six months following the Closing (the “Dave Stockholders Lock-Up”) or (ii) in respect of the Founder Holders, the earlier of (x) 12 months following the Closing, (y) the date, which is on or after the 150-day anniversary of the Closing Date on which the Combined Company Class A Common Stock achieves a trading price of at least $12.00 (as such trading price may be adjusted for any dividend, subdivision, stock split or similar event, and as determined by reference to the volume-weighted average price achieved for at least 20 trading days within any 30 consecutive trading days) for any 30-trading day period commencing on or after on or after the 150-day anniversary of the Closing, and (z) the date on which the Combined Company completes a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction resulting in all of the stockholders of the Combined Company having the right to exchange their shares of Combined Company Common Stock for cash, securities or other property (the “Founder Holders Lock-Up”).

As contemplated by the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan Proposal and the Employee Stock Purchase Plan Proposal, VPCC intends to reserve a number of shares equal to 10% and 2.0% of the issued and outstanding shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock for issuance under the 2021 Plan and the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, respectively, immediately following the Business Combination (after giving effect to the redemptions).

The terms of the stock consideration in the Business Combination and the PIPE Investment are complex and only briefly summarized above. For further information, please see the full text of the Merger Agreement, which is

198

attached as Annex A hereto, the form of Subscription Agreement, which is attached as Annex G hereto, the form of the Investor Rights Agreement, which is attached as Annex H hereto, the form of the 2021 Plan, which is attached as Annex C hereto and the form of the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, which is attached as Annex D hereto. The discussion herein is qualified in its entirety by reference to such documents.

Why VPCC Needs Stockholder Approval

We are seeking stockholder approval in order to comply with Rule 312.03 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual. As VPCC is currently listed on NYSE, VPCC is required to comply with the NYSE rules even if VPCC is transferring to the Nasdaq upon the consummation of the Business Combination.

Under Rule 312.03(c) of the NYSE Listed Company Manual, stockholder approval is required prior to the issuance of common stock or other securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock, in connection with the acquisition of the stock or assets of another company, if such securities are not issued in a public offering and (i) the common stock has, or will have upon issuance, voting power equal to or in excess of 20% of the voting power outstanding before the issuance of such securities, or (ii) the number of shares of common stock to be issued is or will be equal to or in excess of 20% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding before the issuance of such securities. Collectively, VPCC may issue 20% or more of its outstanding common stock or securities representing 20% or more of the voting power, in each case outstanding before the issuance, pursuant to the issuance of common stock in connection with the Business Combination, the PIPE Investment and any other subscription agreements VPCC may enter into prior to Closing. In addition, VPCC intends to reserve for issuance shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock for potential future issuances of Combined Company Class A Common Stock under the 2021 Plan and the Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

Under Rule 312.03(d) of the NYSE Listed Company Manual, stockholder approval is required where the issuance of securities will result in a change of control. Because the issuances to Dave stockholders in the Business Combination, to the investors in connection with the PIPE Investment and investors in connection with any other subscription agreements VPCC may enter into prior to Closing, in each case as described above, may result in certain of such investors owning more than 20% of VPCC’s common stock outstanding before the issuance, such issuances may be deemed a change of control. Therefore, we are seeking the approval of our stockholders.

Effect of Proposal on Current Stockholders

If the Share Issuance Proposal is adopted and the Business Combination is consummated, it is estimated that up to 288,773,068 shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock could be issued pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement as stock consideration in the Business Combination, which collectively represents approximately 910.4% of the 31,720,748 shares outstanding on the date hereof. Additionally, in connection with the PIPE Investment, VPCC will issue 21,000,000 shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock, and VPCC may enter into subscription agreements to issue and sell additional shares prior to Closing. Based on the assumptions set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus, VPCC also expects to assume Rollover Options for 24,557,031 shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock. VPCC will also reserve a number of shares equal to 10.0% of the issued and outstanding shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock immediately following the Business Combination under the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan Proposal and the Employee Stock Purchase Plan Proposal and an additional 11,444,364 shares in connection with the Public Warrants and the Private Placement Warrants. The issuance of such shares would result in significant dilution to the VPCC Stockholders, and would afford the VPCC Stockholders a smaller percentage interest in the voting power, liquidation value and aggregate book value of VPCC.

Vote Required for Approval

The approval of the Share Issuance Proposal requires that a majority of the votes cast by holders of outstanding shares of VPCC Common Stock represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting

199

vote “FOR” the Share Issuance Proposal. If a valid quorum is otherwise established, failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person at the Special Meeting will have no effect on the vote. Abstentions will have no effect on the vote for this proposal.

Recommendation of the Board of Directors

THE VPCC BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE ISSUANCE OF COMMON STOCK TO BE ISSUED IN CONNECTION WITH THE BUSINESS COMBINATION, THE PIPE INVESTMENT AND ANY OTHER SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENTS VPCC MAY ENTER INTO PRIOR TO CLOSING.

PROPOSAL NO. 8—THE REPURCHASE PROPOSAL

Overview

VPCC is asking its stockholders to adopt the Repurchase Agreement and approve the Repurchase. Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, VPCC, Dave and the Selling Holders (Mr. Wilk and Mr. Beilman), entered into the Repurchase Agreement, pursuant to which, among other things, VPCC has agreed to repurchase a certain number of shares of Combined Company Common Stock from the Selling Holders (including shares of Combined Company Class V Common Stock issued to Mr. Wilk in connection with the Transactions), at a purchase price of $10.00 per share, on the business day immediately following the effective time of the Second Merger (the “Repurchase”). The Repurchase is contingent on the amount of VPCC Available Cash being in excess of $300 million. If VPCC Available Cash exceeds $300 million, the number of shares of Combined Company Common Stock subject to the Repurchase will be equal to the amount by which VPCC Available Cash exceed $300 million (the “Aggregate Repurchase Price”), divided by $10.00 (provided that in no event will the Aggregate Repurchase Price exceed $60 million). 80% of the number of shares of Combined Company Common Stock subject to the Repurchase will be allocated to Mr. Wilk, with Mr. Beilman allocated the remaining 20%. Mr. Wilk is one of Dave’s current directors and is the Chief Executive Officer of Dave, and, Mr. Beilman is the Chief Financial Officer of Dave.

The terms of the Repurchase are complex and only briefly summarized above. For further information, please see the full text of the Repurchase Agreement, which is attached as Annex I hereto. The discussion herein is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Repurchase Agreement.

Why VPCC Needs Stockholder Approval

Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, VPCC has agreed to seek stockholder approval for the entry by VPCC into the Repurchase Agreement and the consummation of the Repurchase, and obtaining such approval is a condition to the consummation of the Business Combination.

Vote Required for Approval

The approval of the Repurchase Proposal requires that a majority of the votes cast by holders of outstanding shares of VPCC Common Stock represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting vote “FOR” the Repurchase Proposal. If a valid quorum is otherwise established, failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person at the Special Meeting will have no effect on the vote. Abstentions will have no effect on the vote for this proposal.

PROPOSAL NO. 9—THE ADJOURNMENT PROPOSAL

Overview

The Adjournment Proposal, if adopted, will allow the VPCC Board to adjourn the Special Meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation of proxies if, based upon the tabulated vote at the time of the Special Meeting, there are not sufficient votes to approve the Condition Precedent Proposals, or holders of VPCC Class A Common Stock have elected to redeem an amount of VPCC Class A Common Stock such that VPCC would have less than $5,000,001 of net tangible assets or the VPCC Minimum Cash Condition would not be satisfied or waived by Dave. In no event will the VPCC Board adjourn the Special Meeting or consummate the Business Combination beyond the date by which it may properly do so under VPCC’s Existing Charter and Delaware law.

Consequences if the Adjournment Proposal is Not Approved

If the Adjournment Proposal is not approved by VPCC’s stockholders, the VPCC Board may not be able to adjourn the Special Meeting to a later date in the event that there are insufficient votes for the approval of the Condition Precedent Proposals, or holders of Class A common stock have elected to redeem an amount of VPCC Class A Common Stock such that VPCC would have less than $5,000,001 of net tangible assets or the VPCC Minimum Cash Condition would not be satisfied or waived by Dave, and may be unable to consummate the Business Combination. If we do not consummate the Business Combination and fail to complete an initial business combination by March 9, 2023 (subject to the requirements of law), we will be required to dissolve and liquidate our Trust Account by returning the then remaining funds in such account to the public stockholders.

Vote Required for Approval

The approval of the Adjournment Proposal requires the majority of the votes cast by the VPCC Stockholders present in person (which would include presence at the virtual Special Meeting) or represented by proxy at the Special Meeting.

If a valid quorum is otherwise established, failure to submit a proxy or to vote in person at the Special Meeting, an abstention from voting or a broker non-vote will have no effect on the Adjournment Proposal.

The Business Combination is not conditioned upon the approval of the Adjournment Proposal. The Adjournment Proposal is not conditioned on any other proposal.

The Initial Stockholders have agreed to vote the Founder shares and any Public Shares owned by them in favor of the Adjournment Proposal (if necessary). See “Certain Agreements Related to the Business Combination — Founder Holder Agreement” for more information.

INFORMATION ABOUT DAVE

Unless the context otherwise requires, all references in this section to the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our” refer to the business of Dave prior to the consummation of the Business Combination.

Company Overview

In the story of David vs. Goliath, the small underdog is able to outsmart and defeat his larger adversary. This is the spirit behind the name “Dave.” We have built an integrated financial services online platform that provides millions of Americans with seamless access to a variety of intuitive financial products at a fraction of the cost and with much higher speed to value than that of the legacy financial services incumbents, such as traditional banks and other financial institutions. Our mission is to create financial opportunity that advances America’s collective potential.

Based on the Company’s observation and analysis of data gathered from its Members, legacy financial institutions charge high fees for financial banking products, which disproportionately burdens tens of millions of Americans who need it most. We see this dynamic playing out with our Members who we believe are on average paying between $300-$400 in overdraft, maintenance and other fees to their existing bank for basic checking services.

According to a report by the Center for Financial Services Innovation (“CFSI”), legacy financial institutions charge approximately $30 billion in fees annually. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (“CFPB”) reports that more than 50 million Americans overdraft multiple times per year. According to the Financial Health Network, by 2023 approximately 45 million Americans will be “financially vulnerable,” 65 million Americans will be unbanked or underbanked and 185 million Americans will fall into the low or volatile income and credit-challenged category. Given these dynamics, our potential Member opportunity is significant. We estimate that our total addressable market consists of between 150 million to 180 million Americans who are in need of financial stability and are either not served or underserved by legacy financial institutions.

Dave offers a suite of innovative financial products aimed at helping our Members improve their financial health. Our budgeting tool helps Members manage their upcoming bills to avoid overspending. To help Members avoid punitive overdraft fees, Dave offers cash advances through its flagship 0% interest ExtraCash product. We also help Members generate extra income for spending or emergencies through our Side Hustle product, where we present Members with supplemental work opportunities. Through Dave Banking, we provide a modern checking account experience with valuable tools for building long-term financial health.

Market research conducted by Dave found that legacy financial institutions commonly require a more extensive banking relationship and days or even weeks of wait times to access their features and services, which can potentially be more onerous in order to obtain premium features (e.g., access to increased interest rates requires direct deposit or higher minimum daily balances). Even new challenger banks often take multiple days or even weeks before allowing members to access certain premium features, according to the same research. In contrast, Members are able to utilize all of Dave’s products individually and instantly, whether or not their banking relationship is with us. As an example, our ExtraCash product allows new Members to access up to $100 to cover an overdraft at their existing bank. We are able to do this by leveraging our proprietary machine learning engine that analyzes a Member’s prior transaction history at their existing bank. This flexible approach to Member choice and speed to value has been a key driver of our growth and best-in-class brand favorability. According to Dave’s market research, 73% rated Dave in the two highest favorable categories compared to other bank innovators.

203

Member base going forward. We believe the value proposition of our platform approach will continue to accelerate as a result of our data-driven perspective of our Members, allowing us to introduce products and services that address their changing life circumstances.

Our Strategy

Americans have been underserved by existing financial products. We take a unique approach to serving our large addressable market with the following strategy:

•

Offering a suite of products that help solve critical Member pain points, driving low acquisition costs.

•

Creating frictionless access to a suite of financial products.

•

Leveraging data to offer ExtraCash at unbeatable prices and speed to value.

•

Focusing on community building with our Member base.

•

Generating a “flywheel” by cross-selling existing Members to new products at no additional Member acquisition costs, resulting in lower consumer pricing.

Offering products to solve critical Member pain points: One in five Americans are either unbanked (no checking account) or underbanked (access to a checking account, but pay significant fees or have limited access to credit). Household financial insecurity is even more pervasive. Today, more than 150 million Americans are financially vulnerable, with 40% unable to afford a one-time $400 emergency expense and nearly 69% of full-time workers are living paycheck-to-paycheck, according to results from the 2020 “Getting Paid in America” survey conducted by the American Payroll Association (APA).

Retail banks—large-scale depository institutions, regional banks, credit unions and other traditional financial institutions—are largely set up to serve Americans who are financially stable. For these Americans, existing financial services offerings largely address their needs; they offer mortgages, savings accounts, credit cards, wealth management and more. To the contrary, low-income or low-balance consumers are discouraged from participating through overdraft fees, minimum account balance fees, minimum credit score requirements and other requirements. Historically, Members have incurred an average of $300-400 per year in fees from their legacy banks.

At Dave, we have built an online platform that offers the following financial products to directly address the financial instability that these Americans face:

Insights: As spending and earning dynamics have become more complex over time, we offer a personal financial management tool to support Members with budgeting, wherever someone banks. These insights help people to manage their income and expenses between paychecks, helping them to spend and save in a smarter way and avoid liquidity jams that may cause them to overdraft.

ExtraCash: Many Americans are often unable to maintain a positive balance between paychecks, driving a reliance on overdraft as an expensive form of credit to put food on the table or gas in their car. Traditional banks charge up to $34 for access to as little as $5 of overdraft, whereas many others in the financial services sector don’t allow for overdraft at all. Dave invented a free overdraft alternative called ExtraCash, which allows Members to advance funds to their account and avoid a fee altogether. Members may receive an advance of up to $100 and Dave Banking Members may receive an advance of up to $200.

Side Hustle: Dave seeks to help Members improve their financial health by presenting new job opportunities to them. Through our partnership with leading employers—including Doordash, Airbnb, Lyft, Rover and more—Members can quickly submit applications and improve their income with flexible employment. Members have generated more than $157 million of new income through applications submitted using Dave’s Side Hustle product since it was launched in 2018.

Dave Banking: Dave offers a full-service digital checking account through our partnership with Evolve Bank and Trust. We do not have overdraft and minimum balance fees, we allow for early paycheck payment and help

204

our Members build credit with their rent and utility payments. Dave Banking Members also have access to Insights and higher ExtraCash limits.

Creating frictionless access to high-impact products: In order to access the financial tools many retail banks offer, consumers are often first required to establish a checking account with that bank. Banks may also require a direct deposit relationship, creating friction to discourage switching banks. Innovators in the consumer banking space have largely retained this model, requiring a primary banking relationship in order to access their tools around financial health.

At Dave, we have seen that this approach is exclusionary and discourages participation in the banking system for tens of millions of Americans. As part of our philosophy of solving critical financial pain points for consumers, we intentionally offer each of our products on a standalone basis, meeting Members where they are and allowing them to engage with Dave on their own terms. Members do not need to have a Dave Banking account to access our Insights, ExtraCash or Side Hustle products. We believe that smart, high-impact products that are easy to access will engender Member loyalty and engagement across multiple products.

Leveraging data to offer high impact products quickly and at advantageous pricing: We offer our high impact ExtraCash and Insights products to Members in a matter of minutes. When a Member connects their existing bank account to Dave, we analyze up to several years of historical spending and income data using our proprietary machine-learning algorithms. To date, we have analyzed more than 30 billion Member transactions. This allows us to offer immediate budgeting insights such as an upcoming utility bill and rapidly approve Members for up to $100 of ExtraCash (up to $200 of ExtraCash for Dave Banking Members). While early wage access and cash advance products have become increasingly common across banking innovators, these products typically depend on multiple direct deposits into a new bank account—often requiring multiple weeks and pay cycles. At Dave, a Member can receive free budgeting advice and much-needed cash in a matter of minutes, without signing up for a new bank account.

This wealth of data, combined with our machine-learning capabilities and underwriting excellence are competitive advantages that will increase with Member scale. We expect to continue to develop these technologies and use them for product expansion in the future.

Focusing on community building with our Members: We take our mission to advance America’s collective potential seriously. That’s why we have developed financial products that address the needs of more than 150 million Americans.

To date, we have helped our Members avoid approximately $1 billion in overdraft fees from their legacy bank relationships through our ExtraCash product. Through our charity program, we have delivered 13 million meals and pledged approximately $7 million to Feeding America and other causes. Members have submitted one million job applications through our Side Hustle product and generated $157 million in income to supplement their income. Dave is consistently recognized as one of the best startup employers in Los Angeles, and was voted #1 in 2020 by Forbes.

Generating a virtual “flywheel”. Our aim is to create the most trusted, integrated financial services platform that will generate a cycle whereby positive Member experiences will lead to more products adopted per Member and enhanced profitability for each additional product at no additional acquisition cost. We refer to this cycle as our “Dave Flywheel”. Ten million Americans have downloaded and registered accounts on the Dave app, and more than five million Americans have connected their existing bank accounts to Dave. We have accomplished this significant Member scale with only $61 million of equity capital raised, reflecting our highly efficient and profitable growth model.

This Member acquisition efficiency is a testament to Dave’s product-market fit and trusted brand. Dave enjoys the highest user impression among competing brands—73% in the two highest favorable categories—with other bank innovators at 45-50% based on Dave’s market research. Our unique ability to offer an immediate short-term solution to near-term financial instability, without requiring a bank account, has proven highly compelling to a

205

broad range of Members. Further, our digitally-native interface and the community impact of our products creates a compelling Member experience that paves the way to offer additional products within our ecosystem. Since the full launch of Dave Banking in December 2020, more than one million of our existing Members have opened a Dave Banking account, significantly broadening their relationship with us. Importantly, this growth has been driven almost entirely organically. To date, these Members have more than doubled their revenue contribution to Dave. This increase in revenue is driven by both new Transaction revenue and also increased engagement with existing products, highlighting the power of our flywheel.

Our Product Platform

Our intuitive and Member-friendly app provides a fast, seamless experience across all of our products. We are committed to delivering a delightful Member experience; we continuously listen to our Members’ feedback and implement improvements on a rapid release cycle. As of June 30, 2021, we had received nearly one million ratings across all app stores, with a 4.8 average on Apple and a 4.6 average on Android.

Dave’s current product platform includes:

Advice and Financial Wellness: “Insights”

We believe that understanding and visibility are core to a Member’s financial health. That’s why we began our product offering with Insights, a tool that helps Members understand their spending and savings habits and learn better financial management.

This automated financial management tool leverages historical bank account data to help Members understand both recurring and commonly occurring charges, helping Members create forward looking budgets and understand potential upcoming pain points. Insights notifies Members when there is a chance of an overdraft, and allows Members to opt into Dave’s ExtraCash feature for up to $100 of additional liquidity (or $200 in the case of Dave Banking Members). We charge a $1 monthly subscription for access to the Insights product.

Overdraft Protection: “ExtraCash”

ExtraCash is our 0% APR advance product that gives Members access to much-needed liquidity to avoid overdraft fees or bridge themselves to their next paycheck. Members do not need a bank account with Dave to access ExtraCash but they do need to have a checking account with another financial institution. No credit check is required and eligibility for ExtraCash is based on the verification of the Member’s checking account and the Member’s identity. Once a Member connects his or her bank account to the Dave app, data regarding the Member’s account is gathered and analyzed. The amount of the advance available to a Member is a function of a proprietary machine-learning algorithm that analyzes historical spending, savings and earnings patterns based on data gathered from the Member’s bank account, among other data points. This process is fully automated unless there are any issues flagged via our Member identification processes. Timing of the repayment of the advance is determined when the advance is made and is based on when the Member will receive his or her next paycheck, which typically ranges from seven to 10 days from when they apply. A Member is limited to one ExtraCash advance per pay period and may only have one advance outstanding at any given time. The maximum term for an ExtraCash advance is 14 days. Dave develops and manages the entire risk management and decisioning process associated with issuing and servicing ExtraCash advances.

There are no fees associated with the delivery of ExtraCash funds to a checking account (typically delivered within two to five business days) via ACH. Should a Member wish to receive their funds on an expedited basis (guaranteed within eight hours, though often significantly faster), there is an optional instant transfer fee. The instant transfer fee ranges from $1.99 to $5.99, depending on the size of the advance taken. Use of this expedited transfer feature is entirely optional. Further, we give Members the option to leave a tip based on what they think is fair when they use ExtraCash if they feel we have provided substantial value to them.

On the agreed upon repayment date, we trigger an automated withdrawal from the Member’s account for the ExtraCash advance amount plus the optional instant transfer fee and optional tip, if a Member opted for those

206

services. Dave manages the entire billing and payments infrastructure associated with the disbursement and repayment of advances.

Job Application Portal: “Side Hustle”

Side Hustle is our streamlined job application portal for Dave Members to find supplemental or temporary work. We focus on “gig economy,” part-time, seasonal, remote and other flexible types of employment opportunities. Members can apply to dozens of jobs in-app using saved information and credentials. A side hustle can be an important part of a Member’s long-term financial health, as it allows Members to quickly address unexpected expenses or cash needs with incremental income.

Demand Deposit Account: “Dave Banking”

Dave Banking is our FDIC-insured digital demand deposit account with zero minimums, premium features, and rewards. Our Dave Banking demand deposit accounts are currently issued by Evolve Bank & Trust (“Evolve”), an Arkansas-based, nationally chartered bank owned by Evolve Bancorp, Inc.

Members can open a Dave Banking account in minutes through the Dave mobile application, add funds to their account and begin spending using a Dave Banking virtual debit card. Dave Banking accounts also include a physical Dave Debit MasterCard that can be used at any of the 37,000 MoneyPass ATM network locations to make no-fee withdrawals at these in-network ATMs.

Dave Banking accounts can be funded with a direct deposit, an external debit card, an external bank account, or mobile check capture. There are no fees for a Dave Banking account, making it accessible for people of all financial situations.

Our Dave Banking account includes some of the best features and rewards in banking, including:

•

Zero account minimums;

•

37,000 MoneyPass ATM network locations to make no-fee withdrawals;

•

Paychecks delivered up to two days earlier than the scheduled payment date with direct deposit into the Dave Banking account, a feature accessible with no additional mandatory fees

•

Access to mobile wallets such as Apple Pay and Google Pay;

•

Access to a free credit-building membership, where Members can build credit based on rent and utility payments made from their account; and

•

Up to $200 in ExtraCash capacity for short-term emergencies.

Dave Banking offers robust security controls such as multi-factor authentication, contactless payment, instant card lock and robust protection against unauthorized purchases if cards are lost or stolen.

Our Dave Banking demand deposit accounts are currently issued by Evolve. Evolve is also the issuer of all Dave Banking debit cards and sponsors access to debit networks for payment transactions, funding transactions and associated settlement of funds under a sponsorship agreement with Dave. Evolve also provides sponsorship and support for ACH and associated funds settlement. Under the agreement between Dave Banking and Evolve, Evolve receives all of the program revenue and transaction fees, and passes them on to Dave, minus any obligations owed to Evolve. Dave pays all payment network fees and other program-specific expenses associated with Dave Banking. These payment network fees are set directly by the various payment networks and based on the transactions processed on their respective network. See “Our Business Model” below for additional information.

Our Business Model

We offer a range of financial products and services through a single platform delivered via a mobile application.

207

Our revenue is primarily broken into the following categories:

•

Service Revenue: in 2020, 99% of revenue, approximately $120.6 million in revenue

•

Insights (subscription fee)

•

ExtraCash (optional instant transfer convenience fees and optional tips)

•

Other (Side Hustle lead)

•

Transaction Revenue: in 2020, 1% of revenue, approximately $1.2 million in revenue

•

Dave Banking (interchange fees, out-of-network ATM fees)

We originate ExtraCash advances directly pursuant to applicable exemptions across various states in the U.S., and we service all the advances that we originate.

ExtraCash advances have historically been funded through balance sheet cash. Beginning in January 2021, subsequent to the formation of Dave OD Funding, a subsidiary of Dave which is consolidated in Dave’s financial statements, ExtraCash advances have been funded through a combination of balance sheet cash and funding available under Dave OD Funding’s credit facility with Victory Park Capital, an affiliate of VPCC. Advances are originated at Dave and transferred to Dave OD Funding for servicing. Cash is transferred back from Dave OD Funding to Dave through the acquisition of newly originated advance receivables and by distributions following the repayment of advances by Members. Proceeds of borrowings under the credit facility are used by Dave OD Funding to purchase advance receivables. The Company, through Dave OD Funding, continues to service all advances that it originates.

In addition, we depend on certain key third-party partners to provide certain of our products and services. Our Dave Banking demand deposit accounts and associated debit cards are currently issued by Evolve. We are party to a Bank Services Agreement with Evolve, which has an initial two-year term ending on July 13, 2022, which automatically renews for successive one-year periods unless either party provides written notice of non-renewal, which may be provided without cause to the other party at least 180 days prior to the end of any such term. In addition, upon the occurrence of certain early termination events, either we or Evolve may terminate the agreement immediately upon written notice to the other party. The Bank Services Agreement does not prohibit Evolve from working with our competitors or from offering competing services, nor does it prevent us from working with other banks to provide similar services. Our partnership with Evolve allows us to provide deposit accounts and debit cards while complying with various federal, state, and other laws. Evolve also sponsors access to debit networks and ACH for payment transactions, funding transactions and associated settlement of funds.

In connection with our arrangements with Evolve, we have also entered into a multi-year service agreement with Galileo Financial Technologies, LLC (f/k/a Galileo Financial Technologies, Inc.) (“Galileo”), a payment processing platform, in which Galileo has agreed to process all of our transactions for our Dave Banking accounts and debit cards, and to handle corresponding payments and adjustments. Galileo also maintains cardholder information, implements certain fraud control processes and procedures, and provides related services in connection with the Dave Banking accounts and debit cards. We pay the greater of actual fees or the minimum monthly fee for these services. Following the initial four-year term, the service agreement renews for successive one-year periods unless either party provides written notice of non-renewal, which may be provided without cause, to the other party at least four months prior to the end of any such term. The occurrence of certain events would provide each party with an early termination right under the agreement.

Our Growth Strategy

We believe we are in the early stages of realizing the full value of our existing platform. We seek to capitalize on the structural advantages inherent in being a digitally native, customer-centric, and built-to-scale platform as we continue capturing market share and economic gains. Our multi-pronged growth strategy is designed to continue building upon the momentum we have generated to date to create even greater value for consumers:

•

Continue penetrating our large addressable market;

208

•

Accelerate cross-sell into Dave Banking;

•

Scale new Dave Banking Members;

•

Deliver new products and features to cross-sell to Members; and

•

Evaluate additional strategic acquisitions.

Continue penetrating our large addressable market: More than 150 million Americans are in need of more financial stability. Approximately 10-15 million Americans are “unbanked”—without access to a checking account. Approximately 20 million of the most vulnerable Americans have access to a checking account, but overdraft their accounts 10-20 times each year. Another 20-25 million incur multiple overdraft fees per year, and are underserved by existing bank relationships. Beyond these populations, another 100 million people or more are living paycheck-to-paycheck, have significant debt or need more from their banking relationship. Framed differently, 40% of Americans are unable to afford a one-time $400 emergency and more than 75% of full-time workers are living paycheck-to-paycheck. Therefore, while we have achieved significant user scale, there remains significant runway for growth in our core product markets.

With the over $350 million in cash raised from the Business Combination (including approximately $210 million in cash held in the Trust Account immediately prior to Closing and an additional $250 million in cash proceeds received at Closing from the PIPE Investment, less, among other things, transaction expenses, redemptions, and cash consideration paid at Closing to the Dave stockholders of up to the lower of (A) the amount (which may be zero) by which the Parent Closing Cash (as defined in the Merger Agreement) exceeds $210,000,000.00 and (B) $60,000,000.00), we will have the ability to substantially increase our marketing spend versus our historical expenditure levels. We believe we have developed a highly efficient Member acquisition approach that will allow us to effectively deploy the expanded marketing spend and drive new Member growth.

Accelerate cross-sell into Dave Banking: The rapid scaling of Dave Banking to date, with more than one million signups since the fourth quarter of 2020, highlights the strong intrinsic demand for the product. To date, these users have come entirely from Dave’s existing Member base, with minimal marketing spend. This user scale reflects a 31% penetration rate of the total Dave connected account population (the population of Members who have connected their external bank account to the Dave app). We believe there remains significant penetration opportunity in the existing Dave Member base. Furthermore, as we continue to help new Members solve challenging pain financial pain points, we believe Dave Banking will be an attractive additional product over time.

Scale Dave Banking adoption and monetization: In addition to penetration of Dave’s existing Member base and cross-selling to existing Members, we will launch our first scaled marketing campaigns targeting the core checking account. We believe this will attract higher-intent bank users, accelerating growth in the Transaction segment. In an effort to attract higher-spending Members within this user population, we plan to offer various incentives and promotions to Members who deposit most or all of their paychecks into a Dave Banking account.

Deliver new products and features: Our product development teams, inclusive of Product Management, Engineering, Design and Data Science, are constantly innovating. We are continually optimizing our current products, while also developing new features and solutions. We build products for our Members that we believe not only impact their daily financial lives, but are also intuitive and easy to use. While at the same time, we design our products to drive value for our business and be technically scalable.

Leveraging both quantitative and qualitative Member data, we seek to solve Member financial challenges and drive greater engagement. We begin by listening to our Members and then flowing through our phases of product development—research and development, prototyping and design, Member validation and Member testing, development and launch—and then ongoing learning and iterating.

In 2021, we are developing several new products and services to continue our mission to better serve our Members. We are focusing on products that have particularly strong Member engagement characteristics. We

209

believe that a scaled, highly engaged Member population will provide a strong setup for monetization through ExtraCash and Dave Banking over time. Examples of new products and services are:

•

Goals-Based Savings (“Goals”): Goals will further Dave’s mission of making financial health easy, accessible and rewarding. Members will have the ability to establish financial goals—for large purchases, rainy day funds or small indulgences. As Goals increases in popularity, we expect that it will encourage Members to check their Dave apps more often, invite friends to the app and improve their own savings habits.

•

Peer-to-Peer Money Transfer (“P2P”): P2P will leverage community to enhance the financial health of Members, while also increasing the frequency and depth of engagement with the Dave app. P2P will allow Members to send money to one another quickly and easily, with commentary and messages. These funds could be used for repayment or bill splitting, but also to help a friend in need.

Evaluate Additional Strategic Acquisitions: We believe acquisitions will be an important tool to accelerate realization of our strategic roadmap going forward. We plan to be intentional in evaluating opportunities to serve larger populations with our leading products, to enhance value-add and engagement with our current Members and to enter new product spaces.

Marketing

Member acquisition relies primarily on paid and organic online advertising and social media. Dave also relies on television (streaming and linear), paid search, organic web traffic and e-mail marketing. Referrals and spend incentives drive incremental acquisition and engagement. Marketing creative content and online ads feature Member-generated content produced and edited by a lean, experienced, in-house team, well-versed in tailoring messages for our target segments.

Product marketing efforts are aimed at increasing Member engagement, through-funnel conversion and, retention at a very low cost.

Competitive Landscape

Consumer financial services is a large, fragmented, and competitive market, and we compete in varying degrees with a range of existing providers of consumer-focused banking, lending, commerce and other financial products. Our competitors are generally large, well-capitalized financial services companies. Some of our current and potential competitors have longer operating histories, particularly with respect to financial products similar to what we offer, significantly greater financial, technical, marketing and other resources, and a larger Member base. These competitors include:

•

Banking Competitors: Traditional banks and credit unions (e.g., Bank of America, Chase, Wells Fargo), new entrants obtaining banking licenses (e.g., Varo Money), and other non-bank digital providers that white-label regulated products, offering banking-related services (e.g., Chime).

•

Lending and Earned Income Advance Competitors: Traditional banks and credit unions, specialty finance and other non-bank providers, offering consumer lending-related or advance products (e.g., Upstart, MoneyLion).

•

Innovators in Consumer Finance: Consumer-oriented commerce enablement platforms (e.g., Affirm, Afterpay), finance-oriented social networks (e.g., CashApp, Venmo), and lending platforms (e.g., OpenLending, LendingClub).

We believe other market participants do not adequately meet the needs of an estimated 150 to 180 million Americans who make up our target market. We believe our ease of access, speed-to-value, data-driven approach and powerful flywheel will allow us to continue to efficiently scale and generate strong returns.

Management

Leadership talent and vision are core priorities at Dave. We have carefully built our team to include experts who will help develop our unique and innovative solutions. Our founding team includes serial entrepreneurs, experienced designers and technology experts. Sourcing from some of the largest and most successful companies in consumer and financial technology, we have hired leaders in People, Product and Commercial. Our Legal and Regulatory functions are led by veterans from high-growth financial services firms. We will continue to focus on building our leadership team as we grow and diversify our business.

Customer Service

Our mission is to deliver a “center of excellence” utilizing the voice of our Members to ensure they have successful interactions with our platform. We are customer centric and devoted to providing transformational experiences. We offer omni channel support guided by Member data and artificial intelligence to augment all of our responses via chatbot, chatting with an agent, contacting us by phone, emailing with us or reaching out via social media. We use seamless tools to give us a 360-degree view of our Members’ journeys with the goal of offering the right resolutions to the right problems. Our 24/7 knowledge center provides best practices to empower Members to employ our tools and services effectively. We also review feedback from Members via Member satisfaction surveys, net promoter score tracking and app ratings to guide process updates and optimize our products. Our approach enables us to resolve a large variety of inquiries with ease, customization and efficiency.

Employees and Culture

Every day, our small but mighty team works together to create financial opportunities for our Members that advance America’s collective potential. It’s this mission and the opportunity to impact the lives of millions of current and future Members that gets us out of bed each day. But, being mission driven alone is not enough to attract great talent. We’ve made significant strides towards setting the foundation to becoming a great place to work.

We know that great people leaders have a multiplying effect on what a business is able to achieve. This insight has led us to invest very early in defining what it means to be a great leader at Dave. Our leaders aspire to create purpose, foster growth, lead through change, communicate with clarity and consistency and prioritize Dave-wide success. We are embedding this definition of leadership into all aspects of the employee experience at Dave to ensure that over time, we’re building the cadre of high performing leaders that inspire their teams to deliver our mission and business results.

Because of our mission, we’ve also invested early on in social impact. At Dave, we define social impact as removing the tension between profit vs. purpose and creating positive business outcomes through positive social outcomes. Our Head of Social works across our team to build the internal and external capacity to scale Dave’s industry leadership as a mission driven brand through innovative partnerships, strategic philanthropy, impact measurement and reporting, and thought leadership. In support of and closely aligned to Dave’s social impact work, we work to ensure diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging are a way of doing business through diagnostics, strategy and goal setting and program development.

Over the last year, we’ve made significant updates to our compensation, benefits and wellness programs. When we decided to go Virtual First, meaning Dave employees can live and work anywhere in the United States (including U.S. territories), excluding Hawaii for the time being, we also decided to have one pay scale that we will apply nationally and will be based on the California labor market. This decision recognizes that regardless of where Dave employees choose to live, their time and effort is of equal value to Dave. Given our mission, we also invested early on in supporting the financial wellness of our own team by not only ensuring we’re paying market competitive compensation but also providing a 401k match and implementing a benefits offering that allows all Dave employees to access to a personal financial advisor.

211

Finally, as a fintech company working to reinvent so many aspects of our legacy financial system, we’re no strangers to the unknown. We acknowledge that building a company and culture that employees can be proud of and recommend to their closest friends is not always linear. As such, we have mechanisms in place, including quarterly engagement pulse surveys, to track how we’re doing so that we can listen, learn and course correct.

As of June 30, 2021, we had approximately 170 employees across all locations. None of our employees are represented by a labor union or covered by a collective bargaining agreement.

Regulatory Environment

We operate in a complex regulatory environment consisting of U.S. federal and state laws that is rapidly evolving. These laws cover most aspects of our business and include laws, regulations, rules and guidance relating to, among other things, consumer finance and protection, privacy and data protection, banking, and payments. For example, with respect to our non-recourse cash advance product, certain state laws may, if applicable, regulate the charges or fees we can assess and how we may obtain repayment from our Members. In addition, other federal and state laws, public policy, and general principles of equity, such as laws prohibiting unfair and deceptive acts or practices, may apply to our activities in banking, non-recourse cash advances, payments, and other areas. These laws and regulations impact our business both directly and indirectly, including by way of our partnership with Evolve, which provides deposit accounts and debit cards to our Members. Ensuring ongoing compliance with these laws and regulations imposes significant burdens on our business operations. See “Risk Factors—We operate in an uncertain regulatory environment and may from time to time be subject to governmental investigations or other inquiries by state, federal and local governmental authorities” and “—Our business is subject to extensive regulation and oversight in a variety of areas, including registration and licensing requirements under federal, state and local laws and regulations.”

In addition, we may become subject to additional legal or regulatory requirements we are not subject to today if laws or regulations change in the jurisdictions in which we operate, or if we were to release new products or services. In addition, the regulatory framework for our products and services is evolving and uncertain and specifically the framework that applies to our non-recourse cash advance business, as federal and state governments and regulators consider the application of existing laws and potential adoption of new laws. The potential for new laws and regulations, as well as ongoing uncertainty regarding the application of existing laws and regulations to our current products and services, may negatively affect our business. This could include the need to modify the way in which we generate revenue from certain business lines, obtain new licenses, or comply with additional laws and regulations in order to conduct our business.

State licensing requirements and regulation

We believe that none of our current business lines require us to obtain any state licenses. However, the application of state licensing requirements (including those applicable to consumer lenders) to our business model is not always clear and state regulators may request or require that we obtain licenses or otherwise comply with additional requirements in the future, which may result in changes to our business practices. In addition, if we are found to have engaged in activities subject to state licensure for which we lack the requisite license, or in activities that are otherwise deemed to be in violation of state lending laws, the relevant state authority may impose fines, impose restrictions on our operations in the relevant state, or seek other remedies for activities conducted in the state.

U.S. federal consumer protection requirements

Here we summarize several of the material federal consumer protection and other laws applicable to our business. Many states have laws and regulations that are similar to the federal laws described, but the degree and nature of such laws and regulations vary from state to state. We must comply with various federal consumer protection regimes, both pursuant to the financial products and services we provide directly and as a service provider to our Evolve.

212

We are subject to regulation by the CFPB, which oversees compliance with and enforces federal consumer financial protection laws. The CFPB directly and significantly influences the regulation of consumer financial products and services, including the products and services we provide. The CFPB has substantial power to regulate such products and services and the banks and non-bank entities that provide them, as well as their respective third-party service providers. This power includes rulemaking authority in enumerated areas of federal law such as truth in lending, credit discrimination, electronic fund transfers and truth in savings. Under Title X of the Dodd-Frank Act, the CFPB also has the authority to pursue enforcement actions against companies that offer or provide consumer financial products or services that engage in unfair, deceptive or abusive acts or practices, commonly referred to as “UDAAPs.” The CFPB may also seek a range of other remedies, including restitution, refunds of money, disgorgement of profits or compensation for unjust enrichment, civil money penalties, rescission of contracts, public notification of the violation, and restrictions on the target’s conduct, activities and functions. Moreover, where a company has violated Title X of the Dodd-Frank Act or CFPB regulations under Title X, the Dodd-Frank Act empowers state attorneys general and state regulators to bring civil actions to enforce such laws and regulations.

Our business activities, either directly or indirectly through our partnership with Evolve, are also subject to applicable requirements under other federal statutes and regulations, including but not limited to:

•

Federal Trade Commission Act. The Federal Trade Commission Act prohibits unfair and deceptive acts and practices in business or commerce and grants the FTC and bank regulators enforcement authority to prevent and redress violations of this prohibition. Whether a particular act or practice violates these laws or the prohibition against UDAAPs enforced by the CFPB frequently involves a highly subjective and/or fact-specific judgment.

•

Truth in Savings Act. The federal Truth in Savings Act (“TISA”) and Regulation DD which implements it require that consumers be provided various disclosures concerning terms and conditions of deposit accounts. They also impose disclosure requirements and restrictions on advertising regarding deposit accounts. TISA and Regulation DD apply to the demand deposit accounts opened by our Members at Evolve.

•

Electronic Fund Transfer Act and NACHA Rules. The federal Electronic Fund Transfer Act (“EFTA”) and Regulation E which implements it provide guidelines and restrictions on the provision of electronic fund transfer services to consumers, and on making an electronic transfer of funds from consumers’ bank accounts. EFTA also limits consumers’ liability for unauthorized electronic fund transfers and requires banks and other financial services companies to comply with certain transaction error resolution procedures. Electronic fund transfers within the scope of EFTA include ACH transfers and debit card transfers. In addition, transfers performed by ACH are subject to specific authorization, timing and notification rules and guidelines administered by the National Automated Clearinghouse Association (“NACHA”). NACHA operating rules further imposes maximum tolerances on the volume of ACH transfers that may be returned as unauthorized or for other reasons. Exceeding those tolerances may result in limitations being imposed on our ability to initiate ACH transactions. Many transfers of funds in connection with the provision and repayment of our non-recourse cash advances are performed by electronic fund transfers, including ACH transfers. We also facilitate the electronic transfer of funds requested by our Members between their deposit accounts with Evolve and their accounts at other financial institutions.

•

Payday, Vehicle Title, and Certain High-Cost Installment Loans Final Rule. In 2017, the CFPB issued a final rule intended to provide various consumer protections with respect to certain short-term credit products. The rule was later stayed by federal district court order in an industry challenge to the rule, and the effective date of many provisions of the rule were separately delayed by the CFPB in June 2019. A section pertaining to underwriting was subsequently rescinded in July 2020. The CFPB may engage in rulemaking in the future to amend the regulation and implement new underwriting and other requirements and restrictions that could negatively impact our business and require us to change our practices should they be deemed to apply to us. However, certain nonrecourse advance products, including ours, are currently excluded from coverage by the rule provided certain consumer contract

213

requirements are met and the advance provider does not engage in certain activities with respect to such products. We must comply with those exclusion-related requirements and restrictions to maintain our exclusion from the substantive portions of the rule.

•

Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (“GLBA”) imposes limitations on financial institutions’ disclosure of nonpublic personal information about a consumer to nonaffiliated third parties. In certain circumstances, GLBA requires financial institutions to limit the use and further disclosure of nonpublic personal information by nonaffiliated third parties to whom they disclose such information, and requires financial institutions to disclose certain privacy policies and practices with respect to information sharing with affiliated and nonaffiliated entities, as well as to safeguard personal Member information.

Given our novel business model and products, and the subjective nature of certain laws and regulations such as the prohibition against UDAAPs, we have been and may in the future become subject to regulatory scrutiny or legal challenge with respect to our compliance with these and other regulatory requirements. Additional or different requirements may also apply to our business in the future as the regulatory framework in which we operate is evolving and uncertain. While we have developed policies and procedures designed to assist in compliance with these laws and regulations, we may not have been, and may not always be, in compliance with these and other laws. No assurance is given that our compliance policies and procedures have been or will be effective or adequate as laws change or are applied to us in a new manner.

Regulation of our bank partnership model

Pursuant to our partnership with Evolve, we offer our Members FDIC-insured, non-interest-bearing deposit accounts and debit cards that Members can use to access their account balances. These deposit accounts and debit cards are provided by Evolve. Under the terms of our agreement with Evolve, as well as the agreements between our Members and Evolve, each Member that chooses to open a deposit account has a deposit account at Evolve and a debit card issued by Evolve. With respect to these deposit accounts and debit cards, we act as the program manager and service provider to Evolve to provide customer support and technology features to Members using their Evolve accounts through our platform.

Evolve is a state-chartered bank chartered in Arkansas and is subject to regulation and supervision by the Federal Reserve and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). Many laws and regulations that apply directly to Evolve indirectly impact us (and our products) as Evolve’s service provider. As such, our partnership with Evolve is subject to the supervision and enforcement authority of the Federal Reserve, Evolve’s primary banking regulator.

Other regulatory requirements

In addition to the requirements described above, we are subject to and work to comply with other state and federal laws and regulations applicable to consumer financial products and services. These laws and regulations may be enforced by various state banking and consumer protection agencies, state attorneys general, the CFPB, and private litigants, among others.

Bank Secrecy Act and Anti-Money Laundering. Given our involvement in payments, banking transactions, and our arrangements with Evolve, we are subject to compliance obligations related to U.S. anti-money laundering (“AML”) laws and regulations. We have developed and currently operate an AML program designed to prevent our products from being used to facilitate money laundering, terrorist financing, and other financial crimes. Our program is also designed to prevent our products from being used to facilitate business in certain countries or territories, or with certain individuals or entities, including those on designated lists promulgated by the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Controls and other U.S. and non-U.S. sanctions authorities. Our AML and sanctions compliance programs include policies, procedures, reporting protocols, and internal controls. Our programs are designed to address these legal and regulatory requirements and to assist in managing risks associated with money laundering and terrorist financing.

214

Privacy and Information Security Laws. We collect, store, use, disclose, and otherwise process a wide variety of information and data, including personally identifiable information (“PII”) that we acquire in connection with our Members’ use of our products and services, for various purposes in our business, including to help ensure the integrity of our services and to provide features and functionality to our Members. This aspect of our business is subject to numerous privacy, cybersecurity, and other laws and regulations in the United States, including the federal GLBA and various state laws such as the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”). Accordingly, we publish our privacy policies and terms of service, which describe our practices concerning the collection, storage, use, disclosure, transmission, processing, and protection of information.

The legal and regulatory framework for privacy and security issues is rapidly evolving, and, although we endeavor to comply with these laws and regulations and our own policies and documentation, we may fail to do so or be alleged to have failed to do so. Any actual or perceived failure to comply with legal and regulatory requirements applicable to us, including those relating to privacy or security, or any failure to protect the information that we collect from our Members from cyberattacks, or any similar actual or perceived failure by our third-party service providers and partners, may result in private litigation, regulatory or governmental investigations, administrative enforcement actions, sanctions, civil and criminal liability, and constraints on our ability to continue to operate, among other things. Please see the section titled “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to Dave’s Business and Industry— Stringent and changing laws and regulations relating to privacy and data protection could result in claims, harm our results of operations, financial condition, and future prospects, or otherwise harm our business”.

Laws Governing Marketing and Member Communications. In addition, there are federal and state laws and regulations on marketing activities conducted over the internet, through email, or by mail or telephone, including the federal Telephone Consumer Protection Act (“TCPA”), the federal Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing Act (“CAN-SPAM Act”), FTC regulations and guidelines that implement, among other things, the FTC’s Do-Not-Call Registry and other requirements in connection with telemarketing activities, and state telemarketing laws. Our marketing activities may subject us to some or all of these laws and regulations.

New Laws and Regulations. Various federal and state regulatory agencies in the United States continue to examine a wide variety of issues that are applicable to us and may impact our business. These issues include consumer protection, cybersecurity, privacy, electronic transfers, state licensing, and the regulation of nonrecourse advances. As we continue to develop and expand, we monitor for additional rules and regulations that may impact our business.

Intellectual Property

Intellectual property and proprietary rights are important to the success of our business. We rely on a combination of patent, copyright, trademark, and trade secret laws in the United States and other jurisdictions, as well as license agreements, confidentiality procedures, non-disclosure agreements, and other contractual protections, to establish and protect our intellectual property and proprietary rights, including our proprietary technology, software, know-how, and brand. However, these laws, agreements, and procedures provide only limited protection. As of June 30, 2021, we own three registered trademarks in the United States and have nine pending trademark applications in various stages of review by the PTO. Although we take steps to protect our intellectual property and proprietary rights, we cannot be certain that the steps we have taken will be sufficient or effective to prevent the unauthorized access, use, copying, or the reverse engineering of our technology and other proprietary information, including by third parties who may use our technology or other proprietary information to develop services that compete with ours. Moreover, others may independently develop technologies or services that are competitive with ours or that infringe on, misappropriate, or otherwise violate our intellectual property and proprietary rights. Policing the unauthorized use of our intellectual property and proprietary rights can be difficult. The enforcement of our intellectual property and proprietary rights also depends on any legal actions we may bring against any such parties being successful, but these actions are costly, time-consuming, and may not be successful, even when our rights have been infringed, misappropriated, or otherwise violated. In

215

addition, aspects of our platform and services include software covered by open source licenses. The terms of various open source licenses have not been interpreted by United States courts, and there is a risk that such licenses could be construed in a manner that imposes unanticipated conditions or restrictions on our services.

Although we rely on intellectual property and proprietary rights, including patents, copyrights, trademarks, and trade secrets, as well as contractual protections, in our business, we also seek to preserve the integrity and confidentiality of our intellectual property and proprietary rights through appropriate technological restrictions, such as physical and electronic security measures. We believe that factors such as the technological and creative skills of our personnel and frequent enhancements to our network are also essential to establishing and maintaining our technology leadership position.

See the section titled “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Dave’s Business and Industry” for a more comprehensive description of risks related to our intellectual property and proprietary rights.

Facilities

We operate out of our headquarters in Los Angeles, California. We maintain approximately 36,000 square feet of general office space in West Hollywood, California pursuant to a multi-year lease, as well as a sublease agreement for approximately 3,500 square feet located in Los Angeles, California. The lease for the West Hollywood property is scheduled to expire in March 2026 and the sublease for the Los Angeles space is scheduled to expire in October 2023.

Legal and Regulatory Proceedings

We may, from time to time, be subject to various claims and legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, including arbitrations, class actions and other litigation. We are also the subject of various actions, inquiries, investigations, and proceedings by regulatory and other governmental agencies. The outcomes of the legal and regulatory matters discussed below are inherently uncertain and some of these matters may result in adverse judgments or awards, including penalties, injunctions or other relief, and could materially and adversely impact our business, financial condition, operating results and cash flows.

State Regulatory Investigations

In August 2019, the New York Department of Financial Services notified us that it and ten other state regulators (collectively, the “States”) were requesting information concerning our non-recourse cash advance product as part of a broader investigation of companies offering nonrecourse advance and early wage access products. The investigation seeks to understand whether such products constitute activity subject to state licensure and consumer credit laws. In April 2020, we received a request for additional information and notice that an additional seven states had joined the broader inquiry. We have responded to all information requests and the States have not further engaged with us or communicated any conclusions or investigative findings.

In August 2021, we entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) with the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation (“CA DFPI”). The MOU requires us to provide the CA DFPI with certain information as requested by the CA DFPI and adhere to certain best practices in connection with our non-recourse cash advance product (including certain disclosures related to us not being licensed by the CA DFPI).

We have received inquiries from the states of Washington (2018) and Kentucky (2020) related to our non-recourse cash advance business and whether our activities are subject to each state’s consumer credit laws. We responded to all requests from these states and have received no further communications from them.

Class Action Lawsuit

On September 16, 2020, a class action lawsuit, Stoffers v. Dave Inc. was filed in Los Angeles Superior Court in connection with the data breach we experienced in June 2020. For more information about the data breach, see

216

the section titled “Risk Factors—Cyberattacks and other security breaches or disruptions suffered by us or third parties upon which we rely could have a materially adverse effect on our business, harm our reputation and expose us to public scrutiny and liability.” Dave is in the process of settling this matter and estimates the settlement to be approximately $3.2 million, which is included with legal settlement expenses, net of insurance reimbursements, within the statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Other Legal Matters

Martinsek v. Dave Inc.

In January 2020, a former employee of the Company, Zachary Martinsek, filed a complaint in the California Superior Court for the County of Los Angeles against the Company and the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, asserting claims for, among other things, breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, conversion, and breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing. The complaint alleges that the Company and the Chief Executive Officer misappropriated approximately 6.8 million shares (as adjusted for a 10:1 forward stock split in November 2020) by rescinding a stock option agreement and a restricted stock purchase agreement between the Company and Mr. Martinsek under which such shares were issued and repurchasing the shares. The Company rescinded the agreements for failure of consideration. The Company and the Chief Executive Officer answered, denying all claims and asserting defenses. Discovery has commenced, but no trial date has been set. The Company is vigorously defending against this claim.

Whalerock v. Dave Inc.

Whalerock Industries Holding Company, LLC (“Whalerock”) filed an unlawful detainer action against the Company on or about August 4, 2020, which was dismissed by Whalerock on March 18, 2021. On or about March 29, 2021, Whalerock initiated new litigation against the Company seeking declaratory relief. The Company and Whalerock entered into a sublease in May 2020 whereby the Company would sublease certain space from Whalerock located in West Hollywood, California. This matter involves a dispute between the Company and Whalerock over when the 18-month sublease commenced. The Company believes the lease commencement date was June 15th, 2021, when the California stay-athome order was lifted and the Company was legally allowed to use the sublease premises. The total rent payments in dispute total approximately $1.8 million. The Company is actively litigating this matter and cannot reasonably estimate the most likely outcome at this time.

217

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OF DAVE

The following discussion and analysis provides information which Dave’s management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of Dave’s results of operations and financial condition. This discussion and analysis should be read together with the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “Summary Historical Consolidated Financial Information of Dave” and the audited and unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes that are included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. This discussion and analysis should also be read together with the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “Information About Dave,” Dave’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and Dave’s audited consolidated financial statements for the two years ended December 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019, included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. In addition to historical financial information, this discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. See the section entitled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.” Actual results and timing of selected events may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those set forth under “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Dave’s Business and Industry” or elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Certain figures, such as interest rates and other percentages, included in this section have been rounded for ease of presentation. Percentage figures included in this section have not in all cases been calculated on the basis of such rounded figures but on the basis of such amounts prior to rounding. For this reason, percentage amounts in this section may vary slightly from those obtained by performing the same calculations using the figures in Dave’s consolidated financial statements or in the associated text. Certain other amounts that appear in this section may similarly not sum due to rounding.

Overview

Legacy financial institutions and new challengers commonly require an onerous banking relationship and weeks of wait times to access their features and services due to payroll direct deposit requirements and the typical length of the pay cycle. In contrast, Members are able to utilize all of Dave’s products individually and instantly, whether or not their banking relationship is with us. As an example, our ExtraCash product allows new Members to access up to $100 to cover an overdraft at their existing bank. We are able to do this by leveraging our proprietary machine learning engine that analyzes a Member’s prior transaction history at their existing bank. This flexible approach to Member choice and speed to value has been a key driver of our growth engine and best-in-class brand favorability.

We have only begun to address the many inequities in financial services, but our progress to date demonstrates the demand for Dave to rewire the financial system for the everyday person. Since inception and through the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, approximately 10 million Members have registered on the Dave app and over five million of them have used at least one of our current products. We have added more than one million new banking relationships over the last 12 months, and we believe that we have a substantial opportunity to grow our Member base going forward. We believe the value proposition of our platform approach will continue to accelerate as a result of our data-driven perspective of our Members, allowing us to introduce products and services that address their changing life circumstances.

Business Combination and Public Company Costs

On June 7, 2021, Dave entered into the Merger Agreement with VPCC, First Merger Sub and Second Merger Sub, pursuant to which (a) First Merger Sub will merge with and into Dave, with Dave surviving the First Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Combined Company, and (b) as soon as practicable, but in any event within three days following the Effective Time and as part of the same overall transaction as the First Merger, Dave (as the surviving entity of the First Merger) will merge with and into Second Merger Sub, with Second Merger Sub surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Combined Company. Dave will be deemed the accounting predecessor and the combined entity will be the successor registrant with the SEC, meaning that Dave’s consolidated financial statements for previous periods will be disclosed in the registrant’s future periodic reports filed with the SEC.

While the legal acquirer in the Merger Agreement is VPCC, for financial accounting and reporting purposes under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"), Dave will be the accounting acquirer and the Business Combination will be accounted for as a “reverse recapitalization.” A reverse recapitalization does not result in a new basis of accounting, and the consolidated financial statements of the combined entity represent the continuation of the consolidated financial statements of Dave in many respects. Under this method of accounting VPCC, Inc. will be treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. For accounting purposes, Dave will be deemed to be the accounting acquirer in the transaction and, consequently, the transaction will be treated as a recapitalization of Dave (i.e., a capital transaction involving the issuance of stock by VPCC for Dave Capital Stock). Accordingly, the consolidated assets, liabilities and results of operations of Dave will become the historical consolidated financial statements of the Combined Company, and VPCC’s assets, liabilities and results of operations will be consolidated with Dave beginning on the acquisition date. Operations prior to the Business Combination will be presented as those of Dave in future reports. The net assets of VPCC will be recognized at historical cost (which is expected to be consistent with carrying value), with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded.

Upon consummation of the Business Combination and the closing of the Private Investment in Public Equity ("PIPE") Investment, the most significant change in Dave’s future reported financial position and results of operations is expected to be an estimated increase in cash and cash equivalents (as compared to Dave’s balance sheet at June 30, 2021) of approximately $176.8 million, assuming the maximum redemption scenario of all Public Shares, or $430.5 million, assuming the no redemption scenario, and, in each case, including $210.0 million in gross proceeds from the PIPE Investment by the PIPE Investors. Total direct and incremental transaction costs of VPCC and Dave are estimated at approximately $35.8 million and will be treated as a reduction of the cash proceeds and deducted from Dave’s additional paid-in capital. In addition, if the VPCC Available Cash exceeds $300 million after the consummation of the Business Combination, the Combined Company will use VPCC Available Cash to purchase up to 4,800,000 Class V Shares and 1,200,000 Class A Shares of the Combined Company held by our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer at $10 per share. See the section entitled “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information.”

As a consequence of the Business Combination, Dave will become the successor to an SEC-registered and NASDAQ-listed company which will require Dave to hire additional personnel and implement procedures and processes to address public company regulatory requirements and customary practices. Dave expects to incur additional annual expenses as a public company for, among other things, directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, director fees and additional internal and external accounting, and legal and administrative resources, including increased audit, compliance and legal fees.

Recent Developments

In January 2021, Dave OD Funding I, LLC, a Delaware LLC and subsidiary of Dave Inc., entered into a $100.0 million Senior Secured Loan Facility with Victory Park Management, LLC, an affiliate of VPCC. The facility has an interest rate of 6.95% annually plus a base rate defined as the greater of three-month LIBOR (as of the last business day of each calendar month) and 2.55%. The facility, which contains multiple tranches, allows Dave to draw on the facility based upon eligible receivables outstanding and qualified cash. Warrants were also issued by Dave in connection with the facility. At June 30, 2021, $23.0 million has been drawn on the facility.

In August 2021, VPCC announced that it has entered into an amendment to the PIPE subscription agreement it previously entered into with Alameda Research Ventures LLC (“Alameda Research”), in connection with the

219

proposed Business Combination with Dave. The amendment calls for a $15 million private placement (PIPE) pre-funding, which will be facilitated through the issuance of a promissory note by Dave to Alameda Research. Dave’s obligations to repay the principal amount of such promissory note would be discharged through the issuance to Alameda Research of 1.5 million shares of VPCC at the Closing of the Business Combination.

Restatement of Consolidated Financial Statements

We have restated our previously issued consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. The determination to restate these financial statements was made by our management after its review of records related to Member advances, net of allowance for unrecoverable advances, in connection with its preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2021. See Note 2—Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus.

COVID-19 Impact

There are many uncertainties regarding the current global pandemic involving a novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”), and Dave continues to closely monitor the impact of the pandemic on all aspects of its business, including how it has and may in the future impact its Members, employees, suppliers, vendors, and business partners. The duration and magnitude of the continuing effects of COVID-19 on Dave’s Members remain uncertain and dependent on various factors, including the continued severity and transmission rate of the virus, new variants of the virus, the nature of and duration for which preventive measures remain in place, the extent and effectiveness of containment and mitigation efforts, including vaccination programs, and the type of stimulus measures and other policy responses that the U.S. government may further adopt.

Beginning in March 2020, Dave’s business and operations were disrupted by the conditions caused by COVID-19, which adversely affected Members’ spending levels and disposable income. Governmental actions such as the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) helped mitigate the effects of COVID-19 on Dave’s Members. In particular, stimulus funds and enhanced unemployment benefits provided under the CARES Act created additional financial support for Dave’s Members; however, the overall economic conditions and increased levels of unemployment may negatively impact the creditworthiness of our Members and could impact the default rate on our Advance business. Dave actively monitors the performance of its Advance portfolio and will continue to assess the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Dave intends to make adjustments to its risk management policies accordingly.

For more information concerning COVID-19, see the section titled “Risk Factors—Our business, financial condition and results of operations have and may continue to be adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic or other similar epidemics or adverse public health developments, including government responses to such events” and “—Our non-recourse cash advances expose us to credit risk of our Members and if our underwriting criteria for making advances is not sufficient to mitigate against this risk, our financial condition and operating results could be adversely affected if a substantial number of our Members fail to repay the cash advance they receive.”

Comparability of Financial Information

Dave’s future results of operations and financial position may not be comparable to historical results as a result of the Business Combination.

Key Factors Affecting Operating Results

Dave’s future operating results and cash flows are dependent upon a number of opportunities, challenges and other factors, including Member growth and activity, product expansion, competition, industry trends and general economic conditions.

Member Growth and Activity

Dave has made significant investments in its platform and is dependent on continued Member growth, as well as our ability to offer new products and services and generate additional revenues from our existing members using

220

such additional products and services. Member growth and activity is critical to our ability to increase our scale, capture market share and earn an attractive return on our technology, product and marketing investments. Growth in Members and Member activity will depend heavily on our ability to continue to offer attractive products and services and the success of our marketing and Member acquisition efforts.

Product Expansion

Dave aims to develop and offer a best-in-class financial services platform with integrated products and services that improve the financial wellbeing of our Members. Dave has invested, and continues to make significant investments heavily in the development, improvement and marketing of its financial products and is dependent on the continued growth in the number of products Dave offers that are utilized by our Members.

Competition

Dave faces competition from several financial services-oriented institutions. In its reportable segment, as well as in potential new lines of business, Dave may compete with more established institutions, some of which have more financial resources. Dave competes at multiple levels, including competition among other financial institutions and lenders in its Advances business, competition for deposits in its Checking Product from traditional banks and digital banking products, competition for subscribers to its financial management tools, and competition with other technology platforms for the enterprise services that Dave provides. Some of Dave’s competitors may at times seek to increase their market share by undercutting pricing terms prevalent in that market, which could adversely affect our market share for any of our products and services or require us to incur higher member acquisition costs.

Key Components of Statements of Operations

Basis of presentation

Currently, Dave conducts business through one operating segment which constitutes a single reportable segment. For more information about Dave’s basis of presentation, refer to Note 1 in the accompanying audited consolidated financial statements of Dave beginning on Page F-44 in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Service based revenue, net

Service based revenue, net primarily consists of optional tips, optional express processing fees and subscriptions charged to Members, net of processor-related costs associated with advance disbursements. Service based revenue, net also consists of lead generation fees from Dave’s Side Hustle advertising partners as well as fees earned related to the Rewards Product for Members who make debit card spending transactions at participating merchants.

Transaction based revenue, net

Transaction based revenue, net consists of interchange and ATM revenues from Dave’s Checking Product, net of ATM-related fees, and are recognized at the point in time the transactions occur, as the performance obligation is satisfied.

Operating expenses

Dave classifies its operating expenses into the following five categories:

Provision for Unrecoverable Advances

The provision for unrecoverable advances primarily consists of an allowance for unrecoverable advances at a level estimated to be adequate to absorb credit losses inherent in the outstanding advances receivable. Dave considers an advance to be impaired when it is probable that it will not be able to recover all amounts due according to its contractual terms. Dave estimates the allowance balance required using loss experience, cash recovery patterns, the nature and volume of the portfolio, economic conditions, and other factors. Increases are created by recording a provision for unrecoverable advances in the statement of operations. Advances are written-off, reducing the allowance, when deemed uncollectible. Subsequent recoveries of Member advances written-off, if any, are recorded as a reduction to the provision for unrecoverable advances expense in the consolidated statements of operations when collected.

221

Processing and Servicing Fees

Processing and servicing fees consist of fees paid to Dave’s processing partners for the recovery of advances, tips, expedited processing fees and subscriptions. These expenses also include fees paid for services to connect Members’ bank accounts to Dave’s application. Except for processing and servicing fees associated with advance disbursements which are recorded against revenue, all other processing and service fees are expensed as incurred.

Advertising and Marketing

Advertising and marketing expenses consist primarily of fees Dave pays to its platform partners. Dave incurs advertising and marketing expenses for online, social media and television advertising and for partnerships and promotional advertising. Advertising and marketing expenses are recognized as incurred and typically deliver a benefit over an extended period of time. All advertising and marketing costs are expensed as incurred.

Compensation and Benefits

Compensation and benefits expenses represent the compensation, inclusive of stock-based compensation and benefits, that Dave provides to our employees and the payments Dave makes to third-party contractors. While Dave has an in-house customer service function, Dave employs third-party contractors to conduct call center operations and handle routine customer service inquiries and support.

Other Operating Expenses

Other operating expenses consist primarily of technology and infrastructure (third-party SaaS), commitments to charity, transaction based costs (program expenses, association fees, processor fees, losses from Member-disputed transactions, and fraud), depreciation and amortization of property and equipment and intangible assets, general and recurring legal fees, rent, certain sales tax related costs, office related expenses, public relations costs, professional service fees, travel and entertainment, and insurance. Costs associated with technology and infrastructure, rent, depreciation and amortization of our property and equipment and intangible assets, professional service fees, travel and entertainment, public relations costs, utilities, office-related expenses and insurance technology and infrastructure (third-party subscriptions), depreciation and amortization of property and equipment and intangible assets, general and recurring legal fees, rent, office-related expenses, public relations costs, professional service fees, travel and entertainment and insurance vary based upon Dave’s investment in infrastructure, business development, risk management and internal controls and are generally not correlated with our operating revenues or other transaction metrics.

Dave expects its operating expenses to increase for the foreseeable future with the growth of its business, and as a result of operating as a public company, including compliance with the rules and regulations of the SEC, legal, audit, additional insurance expenses, investor relations activities and other administrative and professional services.

Other (income) expenses

Other (income) expenses consist of interest income, interest expense, gain on conversion of convertible notes, loss on the derivative liability associated with convertible notes, legal settlement, litigation expenses, derivative asset fair value adjustments, other strategic financing and transactional expenses and warrant liability fair value adjustments.

Provision for income taxes

Provision for income taxes consists of the federal and state corporate income taxes accrued on income resulting from the sale of our services. On March 27, 2020, the CARES Act was signed into law, which among other things, includes certain income tax provisions for corporations; however, these benefits did not impact Dave’s current tax provision.

Provision for unrecoverable advances—The provision for unrecoverable advances totaled approximately $10.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to approximately $6.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase of approximately $4.3 million, or 66%, was primarily attributable to the aging of receivables and increased default volume associated with the increase in advance volume from approximately $442.9 million to approximately $601.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2021, respectively. Despite the increase in Dave’s advance and corresponding default volume, overall default rates increased slightly for the six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020, as Dave experienced strong collections primarily driven by advance underwriting modifications made in response to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in early 2020. For information on the aging of member cash advances and a rollforward of the allowance for unrecoverable advances, refer to the table in Note 3 to the condensed consolidated financial statements of Dave on page F-33 which is incorporated by reference in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Processing and service fees—Processing and servicing fees totaled approximately $10.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to approximately $10.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

223

Advertising and marketing—Advertising and marketing for the six months ended June 30, 2021 increased by approximately $13.9 million or 116%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Compensation and benefits—Compensation and benefits for the six months ended June 30, 2021 increased by approximately $9.9 million or 107%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020. This increase was primarily attributable to the following:

•

an increase in payroll and related costs of approximately $5.2 million, primarily due to hiring and increased headcount throughout the business;

•

an increase in consultants and contractor costs of approximately $2.5 million, primarily due to Dave’s need to supplement recruiting efforts, increase IT security, marketing, and augmenting customer service resources; and

•

an increase in stock-based compensation of approximately $2.2 million, primarily due to an increase of approximately $1.1 million from new stock option grants related to increased headcount to support the growth of the business and an increase of approximately $0.9 million from a stock option modification.

Other operating expenses—Other operating expenses totaled approximately $21.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to approximately $5.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

•

an increase in expenses related to Dave’s Checking Product of approximately $8.4 million, primarily attributable to the growth in Members and the number of transactions processed;

•

an increase in chargeback related expenses of approximately $4.0 million, primarily due to non-recurring fraudulent activity in relation to Dave’s Checking Product;

•

an increase in charitable contribution expenses of approximately $1.2 million, primarily due to increased amounts pledged to charitable meal donations related to increased Members’ tips;

•

an increase in technology and infrastructure expenses of approximately $1.3 million, primarily due to increased spending to support the growth of Dave’s business and development of new products and features; and

•

an increase in depreciation and amortization of $0.5 million, primarily due to equipment purchases for increased headcount and amortization of internally developed software.

Provision for income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2021 decreased by $0.07 million or 94%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020. This decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in 2021 year-to-date pre-tax income relative to 2020 as well as the 2021 nontaxable mark-to-market gain on the derivative asset related to shareholder loans. The decrease was partially offset by an increase in the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets in 2020 relative to a decrease in the valuation allowance in 2020.

Provision for income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2020 decreased by approximately $0.4 million or 73%, compared to the year ended December 31, 2019. This relative decrease was primarily attributable to the pre-tax income in 2019 relative to the pre-tax loss in 2020. The relative decrease was partially offset by the fact that federal and state net operating losses were utilized for the year ended December 31, 2019, while similar loss carryforwards were no longer available for the year ended December 31, 2020. The relative decrease was also partially offset by the significant increase in the valuation allowance for the year ended December 31, 2020, relative to the increase for the year ended December 31, 2019, primarily attributable to increases in the deferred tax assets associated with the allowance for member advances and accrued expenses.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to Dave’s results determined in accordance with GAAP, Dave believes the following non-GAAP measures are useful in evaluating its operational performance. Dave uses the following non-GAAP measures to evaluate its ongoing operations and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. Dave believes that non-GAAP financial information, when taken collectively, may be helpful in assessing its operating performance and are more indicative of our operational performance and facilitate an alternative comparison among fiscal periods. These non-GAAP financial measures are not, and should not be viewed as, substitutes for GAAP reporting measures.

Adjusted EBITDA

“Adjusted EBITDA” is defined as net income/loss adjusted for interest expense (income), provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation and other discretionary items determined by management. Adjusted EBITDA is intended as a supplemental measure of Dave’s performance that is neither required by, nor presented in accordance with, GAAP. Dave believes that the use of Adjusted EBITDA provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing Dave’s financial measures with those of comparable companies, which may present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors. However, you should be aware that when evaluating Adjusted EBITDA Dave may incur future expenses similar to those excluded when calculating these measures. In addition, Dave’s presentation of these measures should not be construed as an inference that its future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. Dave’s computation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures computed by other companies, because all companies may not calculate Adjusted EBITDA in the same fashion.

Because of these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Dave compensates for these limitations by relying primarily on its GAAP results and using Adjusted EBITDA on a supplemental basis. The reconciliation of net loss to Adjusted EBITDA below should be reviewed and no single financial measure should be relied upon to evaluate Dave’s business.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Since inception, Dave has financed its operations primarily from the issuance of preferred stock through its Series A and Series B funding rounds, issuances of convertible notes, and funds from its senior secured credit facility. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, Dave’s cash and marketable securities balances were $22.4 million and $22.7 million, respectively.

As an early-stage company, the expenses Dave has incurred since inception are consistent with Dave’s strategy and approach to capital allocation. Dave expects to incur net losses in accordance with Dave’s operating plan as Dave continues to expand and improve upon its financial platform.

Dave’s ability to access capital when needed is not assured and, if capital is not available to Dave when, and in the amounts needed, Dave could be required to delay, scale back or abandon some or all of Dave’s development programs and other operations, which could materially harm Dave’s business, prospects, financial condition and operating results.

Dave believes that its cash on hand following the consummation of the Business Combination, including the net proceeds of VPCC’s cash in trust (assuming de minimis redemptions by VPCC stockholders) and the proceeds from the PIPE Investment and any alternative financing, should be sufficient to meet its working capital and capital

229

expenditure requirements for a period of at least 18 months from the date of this proxy statement/prospectus and sufficient to fund its operations. Dave may raise additional capital through follow-on public offerings or debt financings. The amount and timing of Dave’s future funding requirements, if any, will depend on many factors, including the pace and results of Dave’s research and development efforts. No assurances can be provided that the Business Combination will be completed or that additional funding will be available at terms acceptable to Dave, if at all. If the Business Combination is not completed and Dave is unable to raise additional capital it may significantly curtail its operations, modify existing strategic plans and/or dispose of certain operations or assets.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

Contractual obligations represent future cash commitments and liabilities under agreements with third parties and exclude contingent liabilities for which Dave cannot reasonably predict future payment. Dave’s contractual obligations result from leases for office space and the principal and interest owed under the credit facility it entered into. Dave also has unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate at December 31, 2020. Dave does not have tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefit will significantly increase or decrease within 12 months of the reporting date. Additionally, the expected timing of payment of the obligations presented below is estimated based on current information.

The following table summarizes Dave’s contractual obligations and other commitments as of December 31, 2020 and the years in which these obligations are due:


	Payments Due By Period
As of December 31, 2020 (in thousands)	Total		Less than 1 year		1-3 Years		3-5 years

In January 2021, Dave OD Funding I, LLC entered into a $100.0 million senior secured loan facility with Victory Park Management, LLC, an affiliate of VPCC. At June 30, 2021, $23.0 million had been drawn on the facility. For more information on the loan facility, see “—Recent Developments.”

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Dave does not have any “off-balance sheet arrangements,” as defined by the SEC regulations.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Dave’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires Dave to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported revenues and expenses incurred during the reporting periods. Dave’s estimates are based on its historical experience and on various other factors that Dave believes are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Dave’s critical accounting estimates and assumptions are evaluated on an ongoing basis including those related to the: (i) realization of tax assets and estimates of tax liabilities; (ii) valuation of equity securities; (iii) fair value of derivatives; (iv) valuation of warrant liabilities; and (v) allowance for unrecoverable advances.

Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Dave believes that the accounting policies discussed below are critical to understanding its historical and future performance, as these policies relate to the more significant areas involving management’s judgments and estimates.

232

While Dave’s significant accounting policies are described in the notes to its audited consolidated financial statements, Dave believes that the following accounting policies require a greater degree of judgment and complexity and are the most critical to understanding its financial condition and historical and future results of operations.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Dave is required to account for certain financial instruments at fair value with changes in fair value reported in earnings, and may elect fair value accounting for certain other financial instruments in accordance with GAAP.

Financial instruments carried at fair value include marketable securities, derivative assets related to loans to stockholders, warrant liability and the derivative liability related to Dave’s convertible notes.

Dave applies the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards (“ASC”) ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, which provides a single authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value and expands on required disclosures about fair value measurement. Fair value represents the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Dave uses the following hierarchy in measuring the fair value of Dave’s assets and liabilities, focusing on the most observable inputs when available:

•

Level 1. Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

•

Level 2. Observable inputs other than Level 1 quoted prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar assets and liabilities, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

•

Level 3. Valuations are based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement of the assets or liabilities. Inputs reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Consideration is given to the risk inherent in the valuation technique and the risk inherent in the inputs to the model.

Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

Derivative Asset

Dave identified a derivative asset related to the call option on loans to stockholders. The derivative asset is carried at estimated fair value on Dave’s consolidated balance sheets. Changes in the estimated fair value of the derivatives are reported as (gain) loss on derivatives in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Dave utilizes the binomial option pricing model to compute the fair value of the derivative asset and to mark to market the fair value of the derivative at each balance sheet date. The binomial option-pricing model considers a range of assumptions related to the fair value of common stock (see below Fair Value of Common Stock for further details), volatility, dividend yield and risk-free interest rate. The binomial option pricing model includes subjective input assumptions that can materially affect the fair value estimates.

Warrant Liability

Dave identified a warrant liability associated with the $100.0 million Senior Secured Loan Facility with Victory Park Management, LLC. The warrant liability is carried on Dave’s consolidated balance sheets as a long-term liability estimated at fair value. Changes in the estimated fair value of the warrant liability are reported as (gain) loss in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Dave utilizes the binomial option-pricing model to compute the fair value and to mark to market the fair value of the warrant liability at each consolidated balance

233

sheet date. The binomial option-pricing model considers a range of assumptions related to the fair value of common stock (see below Fair Value of Common Stock for further details), volatility, dividend yield and risk-free interest rate. The binomial option pricing model includes subjective input assumptions that can materially affect the fair value estimates.

Derivative Liability

Dave identified an embedded derivative related to a convertible feature in the 2018 convertible notes. The embedded derivative is carried on Dave’s consolidated balance sheets as a bifurcated embedded derivative liability estimated at fair value. Changes in the estimated fair value of the derivatives are reported as (gain) loss on derivatives in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Dave determined the fair value of certain embedded derivatives on issued convertible notes using Level 3 inputs, including expected maturity or conversion date, discount rate, and probability. Significant increases or decreases in the inputs would result in different fair value measurements for the embedded feature.

Please refer to Note 3 in the accompanying audited consolidated financial statements of Dave for the year ended December 31, 2020 included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Fair Value of Common Stock

Dave is required to estimate the fair value of the common stock underlying Dave’s share-based awards. The fair value of the common stock underlying Dave’s stock-based awards has been determined, in each case, based on a valuation model as discussed further below, and was approved by Dave’s Board of Directors. Dave’s Board of Directors intends all stock options granted to be exercisable at a price per share not less than the fair value per share of the ordinary share underlying those stock options on the date of grant.

In the absence of a public market for Dave Common Stock, the valuation has been determined using appropriate valuation methodologies in accordance with the guidelines outlined in the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Practice Guide, Valuation of Privately Held Company Equity Securities Issued as Compensation.

Dave considered various objective and subjective factors to determine the fair value of its common stock as of each grant date, including:

•

Historical financial performance;

•

Dave’s business strategy;

•

Industry information, such as external market conditions and trends;

•

Likelihood of achieving a liquidity event, such as an initial public offering, SPAC merger, or strategic sale given prevailing market conditions and the nature and history of Dave’s business;

•

Prices, privileges, powers, preferences and rights of our convertible preferred stock relative to those of Dave Common Stock;

•

Forecasted cash flow projections for Dave’s business;

•

Primary preferred stock financings and secondary common stock transactions of Dave’s equity securities;

•

Lack of marketability/illiquidity of the common stock underlying Dave’s stock-based awards involving securities in a private company; and

•

Macroeconomic conditions.

234

discount rate, and the selected multiples that are applied to Dave’s financial statistics are significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of Dave Common Stock. If Dave had used different assumptions or estimates, the fair value of Dave Common Stock and Dave’s stock-based compensation expense could have been materially different.

During 2019 and 2020, Dave’s estimated fair value of its common stock remained relatively consistent before a potential public listing through a business combination with a special purpose acquisition company was first considered in 2021 (“SPAC Transaction”).

The fair value for Dave’s common stock was estimated to be $0.935 per share as of August 5, 2019 (“August 2019 Valuation”) and $0.981 per share as of August 30, 2020 (“August 2020 Valuation”). In 2021, Dave’s management team first contemplated a SPAC Transaction, which was incorporated in the June 7, 2021 valuation that resulted in a fair value for Dave’s common stock of $8.67 per share (“June 2021 Valuation”).

The August 2019 Valuation and August 2020 Valuations were completed prior to the contemplation of the Business Combination, and at the time of these valuations Dave management did not expect a near-term exit. The August 2019 Valuation was performed at the time of the close of Dave’s Series B-1 and B-2 preferred equity financings (“Series B Financing”). Since no near-term exit was expected, the August 2019 Valuation was performed using the market approach, specifically the subject company transaction method was performed using a single option pricing model (“OPM”) as the allocation method. As a result, the fair value of Dave’s common stock was inferred from the Series B Financing. The August 2020 Valuation was performed using the market approach, specifically the guideline public company method (“GPCM”) and used a single OPM as the allocation methodology. The GPCM was performed by first considering the Series B Financing’s implied revenue multiple from the August 2019 valuation report, and then was adjusted based on changes in the guideline public company’s multiples since the Series B Financing occurred, with consideration for adjustments based on Dave’s comparative operational performance between the periods.

The June 2021 Valuation used the hybrid method, wherein a probability-weighted expected return model (“PWERM”) incorporated an expected near-term SPAC exit scenario as well as an OPM. The OPM was used to model the value of common stock in a delayed exit/stay private scenario. Total equity values for each scenario Dave management identified were estimated as of the measurement date. The delayed exit/stay private scenario total equity value was estimated using the discounted cash flow method under the income approach and the GPCM under the market approach. The total equity value in the SPAC Transaction scenario was determined based on the expected Business Combination pre-money valuation. Dave management’s estimated probability for each scenario occurring were applied to the respective scenario’s indicated common stock value to arrive at the estimated fair value of common stock.

The increase in the fair value of Dave’s common stock between the August 2019 and August 2020 Valuations, and the June 2021 Valuation was predominantly due to Dave’s progress towards completing the Business Combination that was not known or knowable at the earlier valuation dates. As previously discussed, the August 2019 Valuation utilized the Series B financing to determine the value of common stock in a single OPM. The August 2020 Valuation relied upon the GPCM with valuation multiples selected considering the implied multiples at the time of the Series B Financing, with appropriate adjustments to the multiples to account for changes in Dave’s financial and operational performance as well as to reflect changes in the guideline public companies’ multiples and comparative performance, from the close of the Series B financing to the August 2020 valuation date. In early 2021, Dave first contemplated a SPAC Transaction and began taking the necessary steps to prepare for a business combination with VPC Impact Acquisition Holdings III (“VPC”). The necessary steps undertaken to prepare for the Business Combination included meeting with VPC and investment bankers, discussing timing expectations, and negotiating the preliminary letter of intent with VPC. As Dave’s ongoing negotiations related to the Business Combination reflected an increased likelihood of a near-term exit transaction and/or liquidity event, the valuation of Dave’s equity as of the June 2021 Valuation took into consideration the indicated equity value implied by the negotiations as well as the uncertainty inherent in the future key milestones including execution of the Merger Agreement and VPC’s shareholder vote. As a result, the increase in Dave’s common stock fair value between the valuation dates resulted directly from both the increase in the pre-money valuation and acceleration of the timing of an exit, from the Series B Financing to the Business Combination.

235

Allowance for Unrecoverable Advances

Dave maintains an allowance for unrecoverable advances at a level estimated to be adequate to absorb credit losses inherent in the outstanding Member advances. Dave considers an advance to be impaired when it is probable that it will not be able to recover all amounts due according to its contractual terms. Management estimates the allowance balance required using loss experience, cash recovery patterns, the nature and volume of the portfolio, economic conditions, and other factors. Interpretations of past cash recovery patterns and projections of future economic conditions involve a high degree of subjectivity. Increases are created by recording a provision for unrecoverable advances in the consolidated statement of operations. Dave considers advances over 120 days past due or which become uncollectible based on information available to us as impaired. All advances over 120 days past due are deemed uncollectible and subsequently written-off. Subsequent recoveries of Member advances written-off, if any, are recorded as a reduction to the provision for unrecoverable advances expense in the consolidated statements of operations when collected.

Income Taxes

Dave follows ASC 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”), which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the consolidated financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are based on the differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent management concludes it is more-likely-than-not that the asset will not be realized.

In order to determine the Company’s interim provisions for income taxes, the Company uses an estimated annual effective tax rate for the full fiscal year, which is based on expected annual income and statutory tax rates in the various jurisdictions in which the Company operates, adjusted for discrete items recognized during the interim period. Certain significant or unusual items are separately recognized in the quarter during which they occur and can cause the effective tax rate to vary from quarter to quarter.

ASC 740 provides that a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may be recognized when it is more-likely-than-not that the position will be sustained in a court of last resort, based on the technical merits. If more-likely-than-not, the amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon examination, including compromise settlements. For tax positions not meeting the more-likely-than-not threshold, no tax benefit is recorded. Dave has estimated approximately $0.1 million and $0 of uncertain tax positions as of June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The estimated uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2020 were approximately $0.1 million.

Dave’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties accrued on any unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense within the statement of operations. Dave recognized approximately $0.003 million and $0 million of penalties and interest expense as a component of income tax expense during the six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. There was approximately $0.006 million and $0 of accrued interest and penalties as of June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. There was approximately $0.003 million of accrued interest and penalties as of December 31, 2020.

Dave is subject to income tax in jurisdictions in which it operates, including the United States. For U.S. income tax purposes, Dave is taxed as a C-corporation.

Dave recognizes deferred taxes for temporary differences between the basis of assets and liabilities for financial statement and income tax purposes. Dave recorded a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets, net of certain deferred tax liabilities, at June 30, 2021 and 2020, as well as at December 31, 2020. Based upon management’s assessment of all available evidence, Dave has concluded that it is more-likely-than-not that the deferred tax assets, net of certain deferred tax liabilities, will not be realized.

236

For additional information on Dave’s accounting policy on income taxes, see Note 3—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies—Income Taxes and Note 16—Income Taxes in the accompanying audited consolidated financial statements of Dave included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Emerging Growth Company Status

Dave is an “emerging growth company” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and has elected to take advantage of the benefits of the extended transition period for new or revised financial accounting standards. Following the consummation of the Business Combination, the Combined Company expects to remain an emerging growth company and to continue to take advantage of the benefits of the extended transition period, although it may decide to early adopt such new or revised accounting standards to the extent permitted by such standards. The Combined Company expects to use this extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and non-public companies until the earlier of the date the Combined Company (i) is no longer an emerging growth company or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opts out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act. This may make it difficult or impossible to compare the Combined Company financial results with the financial results of another public company that is either not an emerging growth company or is an emerging growth company that has chosen not to take advantage of the extended transition period exemptions because of the potential differences in accounting standards used. See Note 2 of the accompanying audited consolidated financial statements and unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Combined Company included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus for the recent accounting pronouncements adopted and the recent accounting pronouncements not yet adopted for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 and for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

In addition, the Combined Company intends to rely on the other exemptions and reduced reporting requirements provided by the JOBS Act. Subject to certain conditions set forth in the JOBS Act, if, as an emerging growth company, the Combined Company intends to rely on such exemptions, the Combined Company is not required to, among other things: (a) provide an auditor’s attestation report on the Combined Company’s system of internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act; (b) provide all of the compensation disclosure that may be required of non-emerging growth public companies under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act; (c) comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the consolidated financial statements (auditor discussion and analysis); and (d) disclose certain executive compensation-related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the Chief Executive Officer’s compensation to median employee compensation.

The Combined Company will remain an emerging growth company under the JOBS Act until the earliest of (1) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following March 4, 2026, (b) in which the Combined Company has total annual gross revenue of at least $1.07 billion, (c) in which the Combined Company is deemed to be a “large accelerated filer” under the rules of the SEC, which means the market value of our common equity that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the end of the prior fiscal year’s second fiscal quarter; and (2) the date on which the Combined Company has issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the previous three years.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

Refer to Note 3, “Significant Accounting Policies,” of Dave’s audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus for a discussion of the impact of recent accounting pronouncements.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

In connection with the audit of Dave’s consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, material weaknesses in Dave’s internal control over financial reporting were identified. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that

237

there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of Dave’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. For more information concerning the material weaknesses identified, see section titled “Risk Factors— Dave identified material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting, which for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 resulted in a restatement of its financial statements. If Dave is unable to remediate these material weaknesses, or if it identifies additional material weaknesses in the future or otherwise fails to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting, it may not be able to accurately or timely report its financial condition or results of operations, which may adversely affect Dave’s business and share price.”

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Dave is exposed to a variety of market and other risks, including the effects of changes in interest rates and inflation, as well as risks to the availability of funding sources, hazard events and specific asset risks.

Interest Rate Risk

Dave holds cash and cash equivalents for working capital purposes. Dave does not have material exposure to market risk with respect to investments, as any investments Dave enters into are primarily highly liquid investments. As of June 30, 2021, Dave had cash and cash equivalents of $22.4 million, consisting of operating and savings accounts which are not affected by changes in the general level of U.S. interest rates. Furthermore, all of the Convertible Notes issued by Dave accrue interest at a fixed rate.

Dave also has interest rate exposure as a result of its outstanding term loans. As of June 30, 2021, the aggregate outstanding principal amounts of the term loans was $23.0 million. The term loans bear interest at an annual rate equal to 6.95% plus a base rate defined as the greater of three-month LIBOR (as of the last day of each calendar month) and 2.55%. If overall interest rates increase by 100 basis points, our interest expense would not be materially affected.

Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject Dave to credit risk consist of cash, Member advances and deposits. Dave maintains its cash with major financial institutions. At times, cash account balances with any one financial institution may exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance limits ($250 per depositor per institution). Dave believes the financial institutions that hold Dave’s cash are financially sound and, accordingly, minimal credit risk exists with respect to cash. The Member advances are also subject to credit risk. See “Risk Factors—Risk Related to Dave’s Business and Industry—Our non-recourse cash advances expose us to credit risk of our Members and if our underwriting criteria for making advances is not sufficient to mitigate against this risk, our financial condition and operating results could be adversely affected if a substantial number of our Members fail to repay the cash advance they receive.”

Inflation Risk

Dave does not believe that inflation has had, or currently has, a material effect on its business.

CERTAIN DAVE RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PERSON TRANSACTIONS

Policies and Procedures for Related Party Transactions

The Combined Company intends to adopt a new written related party transaction policy to be effective upon the consummation of the Business Combination. The policy will provide that officers, directors, holders of more than 5% of any class of the Combined Company’s voting securities, and any member of the immediate family of and any entity affiliated with any of the foregoing persons, will not be permitted to enter into a related party transaction with the Combined Company without the prior consent of the audit committee, or other independent members of the Combined Company’s board of directors in the event it is inappropriate for the audit committee to review such transaction due to a conflict of interest. Any request for the Combined Company to enter into a transaction with an executive officer, director, nominee to become a director of the Combined Company, significant stockholder, or any of their immediate family members or affiliates, in which the amount involved exceeds the lesser of $120,000 or 1% of the average of the Combined Company’s total assets at year end for the prior two completed fiscal years in the aggregate over the duration of the transaction (without regard to profit or loss), must first be presented to the audit committee for review, consideration, and approval. In approving or rejecting the proposed transactions, the audit committee will take into account all of the relevant facts and circumstances available.

Although Dave has not had a written policy for the review and approval of transactions with related persons, Dave’s board of directors has historically reviewed and approved any transaction where a director or officer had a financial interest, including all of the transactions described below. Prior to approving such a transaction, the material facts as to a director’s or officer’s relationship or interest as to the agreement or transaction were disclosed to Dave’s board of directors. Dave’s board of directors would take this information into account when evaluating the transaction and in determining whether such transaction was fair to the company and in the best interest of all of Dave Stockholders.

Existing Financing Agreement

In January 2021, Dave OD, a wholly owned subsidiary of Dave, entered into the Existing Financing Agreement with Victory Park Management, LLC, an affiliate of VPCC, which provides Dave OD with a $100 million senior secured loan facility. Borrowings under the facility bear interest at 6.95% plus a base rate defined as the greater of three-month LIBOR (as of the last business day of each calendar month) and 2.55%. The facility, which contains multiple tranches, allows Dave OD to draw on the facility based upon eligible receivables outstanding and qualified cash. Warrants were also issued by Dave OD in connection with the facility. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, $30 million has been drawn under the facility.

Promissory Notes and Loan, Pledge and Option Agreements

In connection with early exercises of two option grants, Kyle Beilman, Dave’s Chief Financial Officer, executed two promissory notes for the exercise price in January 2018 and March 2020 in the principal amounts of $34.325 and $981,750, respectively. The notes bear interest at 2.0% and 1.53% and mature on March 12, 2023 and March 3, 2025 (or earlier upon certain specified events), respectively, and are secured by a pledge of certain shares held by Mr. Beilman.

In August 2019, Dave entered into loan, pledge, and option agreements with Jason Wilk, its Chief Executive Officer and Director, and Mr. Beilman in connection with loans by Dave to Mr. Wilk and Mr. Beilman related to the early exercise of stock options. Dave received Non-Recourse Promissory Notes in exchange for these loans and an option which allows Dave to acquire shares held by these stockholders. The notes are collateralized by a pledge of certain shares held by Mr. Wilk and Mr. Beilman. The entire unpaid principal balance of these loans, together with all accrued but unpaid interest, is due and payable upon the earlier of (i) August 12, 2026; (ii) a liquidity event; or (iii) upon the exercise of the call option by Dave. These loans carry a stated interest rate of 1.87%, which is compounded annually. The outstanding balance of the loans, inclusive of interest, was approximately $9.7 million, $9.6 million and $9.4 million as of June 30, 2021, December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Prior to the closing of the Business Combination, Dave will exercise its option to repurchase the shares, each such promissory note will be cancelled in consideration for the repurchase, and the pledged shares will be released.

239

Lease Agreements

In December 2018, Dave and PCJW Properties LLC (“PCJW Properties”) entered into a sublease agreement (the “PCJW Sublease”), and in January 2019, Dave and PCJW Properties entered into a net lease (the “Net Lease”), in each case for commercial office space in Los Angeles, California. Jason Wilk, a Director and Chief Executive Officer of Dave, is a partner at PCJW Properties. Monthly rent under the PCJW Sublease is approximately $5,000, subject to an annual escalation of 4%. The monthly rent under the Net Lease is approximately $19,000, subject to an annual escalation of 5%. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, and the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018, Dave paid approximately $160,000, $305,000, $266,000 and $54,000, respectively under these lease agreements. The Combined Company will assume Dave’s obligations under the Net Lease and PCJW Sublease.

Other Agreements

Right of First Refusal Agreement

In August 2019, Dave entered into a right of first refusal and co-sale agreement (the “ROFR and Co-Sale Agreement”) with certain Dave Stockholders including Jason Wilk. Pursuant to the ROFR and Co-Sale Agreement, certain parties thereto have agreed to grant Dave a right of first refusal on certain transfers of Dave’s equity securities, with other investors party thereto entitled to a secondary right of first refusal and a right of co-sale on transfers by other applicable holders, subject to certain exceptions, each in accordance with the terms thereof. The ROFR and Co-Sale Agreement will be terminated in connection with the closing of the Business Combination.

Voting Agreement

Dave is a party to the Founder Holder Agreement, dated as of June 3, 2021, pursuant to which certain Dave Stockholders, including entities affiliated with Victory Park Management, LLC, which is affiliated with, Brendan Carroll, who will serve as a director of the Combined Company, have agreed to vote their shares of Dave Capital Stock on certain matters, including with respect to the election of directors. This agreement will terminate upon the termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms.

Support Agreements

Jason Wilk, and Kyle Beilman have signed a Support Agreement whereby each has agreed to, among other things, vote in favor of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, in each case, subject to the terms and conditions contemplated by the Support Agreement. For a detailed description of the Support Agreements, see the section entitled “The Business Combination and the Merger Agreement—Certain Agreements Related to the Business Combination—Support Agreements.”

Investor Rights Agreement

At the Closing, the Combined Company, the Founder Holders and certain Dave Stockholders (including, without limitation, Mr. Wilk and Mr. Beilman), in each case who will receive Combined Company Class A Common Stock or Combined Company Class V Common Stock pursuant to the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, will enter into the Investor Rights Agreement in respect of the shares of Combined Company Common Stock held by the Founder Holders and such Dave Stockholders following the Closing. Pursuant to such agreement, among other things, such holders and their permitted transferees will be entitled to certain customary registration rights and will agree to certain lock-up provisions in respect of the shares of Combined Company Common Stock held by them following the Closing. For a detailed description of the Investor Rights Agreement, see the section entitled “The Business Combination and the Merger Agreement—Certain Agreements Related to the Business Combination—Investor Rights Agreement.”

INFORMATION ABOUT VPCC

General

VPCC is a blank check company formed as a Delaware corporation for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. VPCC may pursue an initial business combination target in any industry or geographic region. In March 2021, VPCC closed the IPO for the sale of an aggregate of 25,375,598 Units at a price of $10.00 per Unit, yielding gross proceeds of $253,765,980. Simultaneous with the closing of such offering, VPCC consummated the sale of 5,100,214 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.50 per warrant ($7,650,321 in the aggregate) in a private placement. Following the closing of the IPO, a total of $253,765,980 ($10.00 per Unit) of the net proceeds from the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants was placed in the Trust Account.

Initial Business Combination

NYSE rules require that VPCC must complete one or more business combinations having an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the value of the assets held in the Trust Account (excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on the interest earned on the Trust Account) at the time of VPCC’s signing a definitive agreement in connection with its initial business combination. The VPCC Board will make the determination as to the fair market value of its initial business combination. If the VPCC Board is not able to independently determine the fair market value of its initial business combination, VPCC will obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking firm or another independent entity that commonly renders valuation opinions with respect to the satisfaction of such criteria. While VPCC considers it unlikely that its board of directors will not be able to make an independent determination of the fair market value of its initial business combination, it may be unable to do so if it is less familiar or experienced with the business of a particular target or if there is a significant amount of uncertainty as to the value of a target’s assets or prospects.

Redemption of VPCC Class A Common Stock and Liquidation if no Initial Business Combination

VPCC’s Existing Charter provides that VPCC will have until March 9, 2023 to complete its initial business combination. If VPCC is unable to complete its initial business combination by March 9, 2023, VPCC will: (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten (10) business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to VPCC to pay its taxes (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 remaining VPCC Stockholders and the VPCC Board, dissolve and liquidate, subject in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) above to VPCC’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 VPCC Warrants, which will expire worthless if VPCC fails to complete its initial business combination by March 9, 2023.

The Sponsor and VPCC’s officers and directors have entered into a letter agreement, pursuant to which they have waived their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Founder Shares held by them if VPCC fails to complete its initial business combination by March 9, 2023. However, if the Sponsor or VPCC’s officers or directors acquire Public Shares, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such Public Shares if VPCC fails to complete its initial business combination by such date.

The Sponsor and VPCC’s officers and directors have agreed, pursuant to a written agreement, that they will not propose any amendment to VPCC’s Existing Charter (i) to modify the substance or timing of VPCC’s obligation

241

to allow redemption in connection with VPCC’s initial business combination or to redeem 100% of VPCC’s Public Shares if VPCC does not complete its initial business combination by March 9, 2023 or (ii) with respect to any other provision relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity, unless VPCC provides its Public Stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their shares of VPCC Class A Common Stock upon approval of any such amendment at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to VPCC to pay its taxes divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares. However, VPCC will only redeem its Public Shares so long as (after such redemption) its net tangible assets will be at least $5,000,001 either immediately prior to or upon consummation of VPCC’s initial business combination and after payment of underwriters’ fees and commissions (so that VPCC is not subject to the SEC’s “penny stock” rules). If this optional redemption right is exercised with respect to an excessive number of Public Shares such that VPCC cannot satisfy the net tangible asset requirement (described above), VPCC would not proceed with the amendment or the related redemption of its Public Shares at such time.

VPCC expects that all costs and expenses associated with implementing its plan of dissolution, as well as payments to any creditors, will be funded from amounts remaining out of the $703,038 of proceeds held outside the Trust Account for working capital purposes (as of June 30, 2021), although VPCC cannot assure you that there will be sufficient funds for such purpose. VPCC will depend on sufficient interest being earned on the proceeds held in the Trust Account to pay any tax obligations VPCC may owe. However, if those funds are not sufficient to cover the costs and expenses associated with implementing VPCC’s plan of dissolution, to the extent that there is any interest accrued in the Trust Account not required to pay taxes on interest income earned on the Trust Account balance, VPCC may request the Trustee to release to VPCC an additional amount of up to $100,000 of such accrued interest to pay those costs and expenses.

If VPCC were to expend all of the net proceeds of the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, other than the proceeds deposited in the Trust Account, and without taking into account interest, if any, earned on the Trust Account, the per-share redemption amount received by stockholders upon VPCC’s dissolution would be approximately $10.00. The proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could, however, become subject to the claims of VPCC’s creditors which would have higher priority than the claims of VPCC’s Public Stockholders. VPCC cannot assure you that the actual per-share redemption amount received by stockholders will not be substantially less than $10.00. Under Section 281(b) of the DGCL, VPCC’s plan of dissolution must provide for all claims against VPCC to be paid in full or make provision for payments to be made in full, as applicable, if there are sufficient assets. These claims must be paid or provided for before VPCC makes any distribution of its remaining assets to its stockholders. While VPCC intends to pay such amounts, if any, VPCC cannot assure you that VPCC will have funds sufficient to pay or provide for all creditors’ claims.

Although VPCC has sought and will continue to seek to have all vendors, service providers, prospective target businesses or other entities with which VPCC does business execute agreements with VPCC waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account for the benefit of VPCC Public Stockholders, there is no guarantee that they will execute such agreements or even if they execute such agreements that they would be prevented from bringing claims against the Trust Account including but not limited to fraudulent inducement, breach of fiduciary responsibility or other similar claims, as well as claims challenging the enforceability of the waiver, in each case in order to gain an advantage with respect to a claim against VPCC’s assets, including the funds held in the Trust Account. If any third party refuses to execute an agreement waiving such claims to the monies held in the Trust Account, VPCC’s management will perform an analysis of the alternatives available to it and will only enter into an agreement with a third party that has not executed a waiver if management believes that such third party’s engagement would be significantly more beneficial to VPCC than any alternative. Examples of possible instances where VPCC may engage a third party that refuses to execute a waiver include the engagement of a third party consultant whose particular expertise or skills are believed by management to be significantly superior to those of other consultants that would agree to execute a waiver or in cases where management is unable to find a service provider willing to execute a waiver. VPCC’s independent registered public accounting firm, and the underwriters of the IPO, will not execute agreements with VPCC waiving such claims to the monies held in the Trust Account.

242

In addition, there is no guarantee that such entities will agree to waive any claims they may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations, contracts or agreements with VPCC and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account for any reason. The Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to VPCC if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to VPCC, or a prospective target business with which VPCC has entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or similar agreement or Merger Agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.00 per Public Share and (ii) the actual amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, if less than $10.00 per share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, less taxes payable, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or prospective target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the Trust Account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) nor will it apply to any claims under VPCC’s indemnity of the underwriters of the IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. However, VPCC has not asked the Sponsor to reserve for such indemnification obligations, nor has VPCC independently verified whether the Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and believes that the Sponsor’s only assets are securities of VPCC. Therefore, VPCC cannot assure you that the Sponsor would be able to satisfy those obligations. None of VPCC’s officers or directors will indemnify VPCC for claims by third parties including, without limitation, claims by vendors and prospective target businesses.

In the event that the proceeds in the Trust Account are reduced below (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 value of the trust assets, in each case net of the amount of interest which may be withdrawn to pay taxes, and the Sponsor asserts that it is unable to satisfy its indemnification obligations or that it has no indemnification obligations related to a particular claim, VPCC’s independent directors would determine whether to take legal action against the Sponsor to enforce its indemnification obligations. While VPCC currently expects that its independent directors would take legal action on VPCC’s behalf against the Sponsor to enforce its indemnification obligations to VPCC, it is possible that VPCC’s independent directors in exercising their business judgment may choose not to do so if, for example, the cost of such legal action is deemed by the independent directors to be too high relative to the amount recoverable or if the independent directors determine that a favorable outcome is not likely. VPCC has not asked the Sponsor to reserve for such indemnification obligations and VPCC cannot assure you that the Sponsor would be able to satisfy those obligations. Accordingly, VPCC cannot assure you that due to claims of creditors the actual value of the per-share redemption price will not be less than $10.00 per Public Share.

VPCC seeks to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor has 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 VPCC does business execute agreements with VPCC waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account. The Sponsor will also not be liable as to any claims under VPCC’s indemnity of the underwriters of the IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. VPCC has access to up to approximately $703,038 from the proceeds held outside the Trust Account (as of June 30, 2021) with which to pay any such potential claims (including costs and expenses incurred in connection with VPCC’s liquidation, currently estimated to be no more than approximately $100,000). In the event that VPCC liquidates and it is subsequently determined that the reserve for claims and liabilities is insufficient, stockholders who received funds from its Trust Account could be liable for claims made by creditors.

243

distributions are made to stockholders, any liability of stockholders with respect to a liquidating distribution is limited to the lesser of such stockholder’s pro rata share of the claim or the amount distributed to the stockholder, and any liability of the stockholder would be barred after the third anniversary of the dissolution.

VPCC’s Public Stockholders will be entitled to receive funds from the Trust Account only upon the earlier to occur of: (i) the completion of its initial business combination, (ii) the redemption of any Public Shares properly tendered in connection with a stockholder vote to amend any provisions of VPCC’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation (A) to modify the substance or timing of VPCC’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with its initial business combination or to redeem 100% of VPCC’s Public Shares if VPCC does not complete its initial business combination by March 9, 2023 or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity, and (iii) the redemption of all of VPCC’s Public Shares if VPCC is unable to complete its business combination by March 9, 2023, subject to applicable law. In no other circumstances will a stockholder have any right or interest of any kind to or in the Trust Account. In the event VPCC seeks stockholder approval in connection with its initial business combination, a stockholder’s voting in connection with the initial business combination alone will not result in a stockholder’s redeeming its shares to VPCC for an applicable pro rata share of the Trust Account. Such stockholder must have also exercised its redemption rights as described above. These provisions of VPCC’s Existing Charter, like all provisions of VPCC’s Existing Charter, may be amended with a stockholder vote.

Competition

In identifying, evaluating and selecting a target business for its initial business combination, VPCC has encountered, and may continue to encounter, intense competition from other entities having a business objective similar to VPCC’s, including other blank check companies, private equity groups and leveraged buyout funds, and operating businesses seeking strategic business combinations. Many of these entities are well established and have extensive experience identifying and effecting business combinations directly or through affiliates. Moreover, many of these competitors possess greater financial, technical, human and other resources than VPCC does. VPCC’s ability to acquire larger target businesses is limited by its available financial resources. This inherent limitation gives others an advantage in pursuing the initial business combination of a target business. Furthermore, VPCC’s obligation to pay cash in connection with its Public Stockholders who exercise their redemption rights may reduce the resources available to VPCC for its initial business combination and its outstanding warrants, and the future dilution they potentially represent, may not be viewed favorably by certain target businesses. Either of these factors may place VPCC at a competitive disadvantage in successfully negotiating an initial business combination.

Employees

VPCC currently has three officers. These individuals are not obligated to devote any specific number of hours to VPCC’s matters but they devote as much of their time as they deem necessary and intend to continue doing so, in the exercise of their respective business judgement, to VPCC’s affairs until VPCC has completed its initial business combination. The amount of time they devote in any time period will vary based on whether a target business has been selected for VPCC’s initial business combination and the stage of the initial business combination process VPCC is in. VPCC does not intend to have any full time employees prior to the completion of its initial business combination. VPCC does not have an employment agreement with any member of its management team.

Facilities

VPCC does not own any real estate or other physical properties materially important to VPCC’s operation. VPCC currently maintains its principal executive offices at 150 North Riverside Plaza, Suite 5200, Chicago, Illinois 60606. The cost for this space is included in the $10,000 per-month aggregate fee an affiliate of the Sponsor charges VPCC for general and administrative services. VPCC considers its current office space, combined with the other office space otherwise available to its executive officers, adequate for its current operations.

Legal Proceedings

There are no legal proceedings pending against VPCC.

Overview

VPCC is a blank check company incorporated as a Delaware corporation on January 14, 2021 and formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination) with one or more businesses. VPCC intends to effectuate its initial business combination using cash from the proceeds the IPO and the private placement of the Private Placement Warrants, VPCC shares, debt or a combination of cash, equity and debt.

VPCC expects to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of its acquisition plans. VPCC cannot assure you that its plans to complete a Business Combination will be successful

Results of Operations

VPCC has neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. VPCC’s only activities since inception have been organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for VPCC’s IPO, described below, and, after the IPO, identifying a target company for its initial business combination. VPCC does not expect to generate any operating revenues until after completion of its initial business combination. VPCC generates non-operating income in the form of interest income on marketable securities held in its trust account. VPCC incurs expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses in connection with completing its initial business combination.

For the three months ended June 30, 2021, VPCC had a net loss of $3,478,664, which consists of formation and operational costs of $1,947,996, a change in fair value of warrant liability of $1,539,877, and interest income earned on marketable securities held in trust account of $9,209.

The change in fair value of derivative liability includes a $1,377,059 charge related to the incremental value of the Private Placement Warrants.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

On March 9, 2021, VPCC consummated its IPO of 25,376,598 Units, which included the partial exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option in the amount of 2,876,598 Units, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $253,765,980.

246

gross proceeds of $7,650,321. Transaction costs amounted to $14,386,571, consisting of $5,075,320 of underwriting fees, $8,881,809 of deferred underwriting fees and $429,442 of other offering costs. In addition, cash of $841,232 was held outside of the Trust Account and is available for the payment of offering costs and for working capital purposes. For the period from January 14, 2021 through June 30, 2021, cash used in operating activities was $1,472,520. Net loss of $5,129,070 was affected by interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $12,900, changes in fair value of warrant liability of $2,459,161, transaction costs allocated to warrant liabilities of $600,571, and formation costs paid by Sponsor in exchange for issuance of founder shares of $5,000. Changes in operating assets and liabilities used $1,175,085 of cash for operating activities. As of June 30, 2021, VPCC had marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $253,778,880 consisting of U.S. Treasury Bills with a maturity of 185 days or less. Interest income on the balance in the Trust Account may be used by VPCC to pay taxes. Through June 30, 2021, VPCC has not withdrawn any interest earned from the Trust Account.

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

VPCC intends to use the funds held outside the Trust Account primarily to identify and evaluate target businesses, perform business due diligence on prospective target businesses, travel to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, review corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, and structure, negotiate and complete a Business Combination.

In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of VPCC’s officers and directors or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan VPCC funds as may be required. If VPCC completes a Business Combination, VPCC would repay such loaned amounts. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, VPCC 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 $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into Private Placement Warrants of the post Business Combination entity at a price of $1.50 per warrant at the option of the lender. Such warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. As of June 30, 2021, VPCC had no borrowings under the Working Capital Loans.

VPCC does not believe it will need to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required for operating its business. However, if VPCC’s 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, VPCC may have insufficient funds available to operate its business prior to its Business Combination. Moreover, VPCC may need to obtain additional financing either to complete its Business Combination or because it becomes obligated to redeem a significant number of its Public Shares upon consummation of its Business Combination, in which case VPCC may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such Business Combination.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

VPCC did not have any obligations, assets or liabilities which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of June 30, 2021. VPCC does not participate in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating any off-balance sheet financing arrangements. VPCC has not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt commitments of other entities, or purchased any non-financial assets.

247

Contractual Obligations

VPCC does not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities, other than an agreement to pay an affiliate of the Sponsor a monthly fee of $10,000 for office space, utilities and administrative support services provided to VPCC. VPCC began incurring these fees on March 4, 2021 and will continue to incur these fees monthly until the earlier of the completion of its initial business combination and VPCC’s liquidation.

The underwriters are entitled to a deferred fee of $0.35 per Unit of the gross proceeds from the units sold in the IPO, or $8,881,809 in the aggregate. The deferred commissions will become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that VPCC completes its initial business combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of condensed financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect 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. VPCC has identified the following critical accounting policies:

Warrant Liability

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

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

Class A Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption

VPCC accounts for its Class A common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC 480. Shares of Class A common stock subject to mandatory redemption are classified as a liability instrument and is measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including common stock that features redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within its control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, common stock is classified as stockholders’ equity. VPCC’s Class A common stock features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of its control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, the common stock subject to possible redemption is presented as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ equity section of VPCC’s condensed balance sheet.

Net Loss Per Common Share

VPCC applies the two-class method in calculating earnings per share. Net loss per common share, basic and diluted, for Class A redeemable common stock is calculated by dividing the interest income earned on the Trust

248

Account, net of applicable taxes, by the weighted average number of shares of Class A redeemable common stock outstanding for the period. Net loss per common share, basic and diluted, for Class A and Class B non-redeemable common stock is calculated by dividing net income, less income attributable to Class A redeemable common stock, by the weighted average number of shares of Class A and Class B non-redeemable common stock outstanding for the period presented.

Recent accounting pronouncements

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

In August 2020, 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. VPCC is currently assessing the impact, if any, that ASU 2020-06 would have on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

249

CERTAIN VPCC RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PERSON TRANSACTIONS

On January 19, 2021, VPCC issued an aggregate of 6,468,750 Founder Shares to the Sponsor for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000 in cash, or approximately $0.004 per share. On January 22, 2021, the Sponsor transferred an aggregate of 60,000 Founder Shares to the Current Independent Directors, resulting in the Sponsor holding 6,408,750 Founder Shares. The Founder Shares included an aggregate of up to 843,750 shares that were subject to forfeiture depending on the extent to which the underwriters’ over-allotment option was exercised, so that the number of Founder Shares would equal, on an as-converted basis, approximately 20% of the issued and outstanding shares of VPCC Common Stock after the IPO. In connection with the underwriters’ partial exercise of the over-allotment option and the forfeiture of the remaining over-allotment option, 124,600 Founder Shares were forfeited and 719,150 Founder Shares are no longer subject to forfeiture resulting in an aggregate of 6,344,150 Founder Shares issued and outstanding. If only the minimum number of shares of VPCC Common Stock required to establish a quorum were voted, only 6.25% (an aggregate of 1,586,039 Public Shares) of the Public Shares would need to be voted in favor of the Business Combination Proposal.

The Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 5,100,214 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant, for a purchase price of $7,650,321. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to the Founder Shares, which will expire worthless if VPCC does not consummate a business combination by March 9, 2023.

The Sponsor has agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of its Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of: (A) one year after the completion of a business combination or earlier if, subsequent to a business combination, the closing price of the Combined Company Class A 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 and (B) the date following the completion of a business combination on which VPCC completes a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of the VPCC Stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property.

The Sponsor loaned VPCC $88,142, which was used for a portion of the expenses of the IPO. This loan was repaid upon the closing of the IPO.

VPCC pays the Sponsor a total of $10,000 per month for office space, utilities and administrative support. Upon completion of VPCC’s initial business combination or liquidation, VPCC will cease paying these monthly fees.

Other than the foregoing, no compensation of any kind, including any finder’s fee, reimbursement, consulting fee or monies in respect of any payment of a loan, will be paid by VPCC to the Sponsor or VPCC’s officers, directors or advisors or any affiliate of the Sponsor or VPCC’s officers, directors or advisors prior to, or in connection with any services rendered in order to effectuate, the consummation of an initial business combination (regardless of the type of transaction that it is). However, these individuals will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on VPCC’s behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations. VPCC’s audit committee will review on a quarterly basis all payments that were made to its sponsor, officers, directors, advisors, its affiliates or their affiliates and will determine which expenses and the amount of expenses that will be reimbursed. There is no cap or ceiling on the reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such persons in connection with activities on VPCC’s behalf.

In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial business combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor or certain of VPCC’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan VPCC funds as may be required. If VPCC completes an initial business combination, it would repay such loaned amounts. In the event that the initial business combination does not close, VPCC may use a portion of the working capital to be held outside the Trust Account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from the Trust Account would be used for such repayment. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into

250

Private Placement Warrants, at a price of $1.50 per warrant at the option of the lender, upon consummation of VPCC’s initial business combination. The terms of such loans by VPCC’s officers and directors, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. VPCC does not expect to seek loans from parties other than the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor as VPCC does not believe third parties will be willing to loan such funds and provide a waiver against any and all rights to seek access to funds in the Trust Account.

At the Closing, VPCC, the Founder Holders and certain Dave Stockholders (including, without limitation, the Written Consent Parties), in each case who will receive Combined Company Common Stock pursuant to the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby will enter into the Investor Rights Agreement in respect of the shares of Combined Company Common Stock issued to Sponsor and such Dave Stockholders in connection with the transactions set forth above. Pursuant to such agreement, such holders and their permitted transferees will be entitled to certain customary registration rights, including, among other things, demand, shelf and piggy-back rights, subject to cut-back provisions. Pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreement, the Founder Holders and the Dave Stockholders will be subject to the Founder Holders Lock-Up and the Dave Stockholders Lock-Up.

251

MANAGEMENT AFTER THE BUSINESS COMBINATION

The following sets forth certain information, as of June 30, 2021, concerning the persons who are expected to serve as directors, executive officers of the Combined Company following the consummation of the Business Combination and assuming the election of the nominees at the Special Meeting as set forth in “Proposal No. 4 – The Director Election Proposal.” There are no family relationships among any of our directors or executive officers.


Name	Age		Title
*Executive Officers*
Jason Wilk		36	Chief Executive Officer, President and Director
Kyle Beilman		33	Chief Financial Officer and Secretary
*Non-Employee Directors*
Brendan Carroll		43	Director
Dan Preston		36	Director

Executive Officers

Jason Wilk. Upon the consummation of the Business Combination, Mr. Wilk will serve as Chief Executive Officer of the Combined Company. Mr. Wilk is the co-founder and has served as Chief Executive Officer of Dave since May 2016. Mr. Wilk has over 15 years of experience building digital companies. In April 2010, Mr. Wilk founded WriteyBoard, an international whiteboard and furniture solution for startup companies and small businesses, where he still acts as current advisor. Prior to WriteyBoard, from January 2010 to July 2016, Mr. Wilk founded and served as Chief Executive Officer of AllScreen.TV, a technology platform that enabled large media outlets to syndicate their digital content to over 500 publishers. Mr. Wilk began his career as the founder and Chief Executive Officer of 1DaySports.com, which was acquired in 2008. Mr. Wilk holds a B.B.A. from Loyola Marymount University, College of Business Administration where he studied international business and technology.

We believe that Mr. Wilk is qualified to serve as a member of the board of directors of the Combined Company (the “Combined Company Board”) due to the perspective and experience he brings as Dave’s co-founder and Chief Executive Officer and his executive experience at other technology startup companies.

Kyle Beilman. Upon the consummation of the Business Combination, Mr. Beilman will serve as Chief Financial Officer of the Combined Company. Mr. Beilman has served as Dave’s Chief Financial Officer since January 2021 and previously served as Dave’s Chief Operating Officer from October 2019 to January 2021 and Chief Financial Officer from July 2017 to October 2019. Since January 2021, Mr. Beilman has served as Vice President of Dave OD Funding I, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Dave. Prior to Dave, Mr. Beilman worked in corporate strategy at Red Bull from January 2016 to July 2017. Mr. Beilman began his career in investment banking at Centerview Partners from August 2013 to January 2016 and Moelis & Company from May 2012 to August 2013. Mr. Beilman holds a B.S. from the University of Southern California Marshall School of Business.

Non-Employee Directors

Upon the consummation of the Business Combination, VPCC anticipates that the Combined Company’s business and affairs will initially be under the direction of a [●]-member board of directors. The following director nominees are expected to be independent under Nasdaq listing rules.

Brendan Carroll. Upon the consummation of the Business Combination, Mr. Carroll will serve as a member of the Combined Company Board. Mr. Carroll is a Senior Partner at Victory Park Capital Advisors, LLC (“Victory Park”), which he co-founded in 2007. He is responsible for strategic initiatives and firm operations in addition to sourcing, evaluating and executing investment opportunities. Mr. Carroll also oversees marketing, fundraising, business development and investor relations for the firm. Mr. Carroll has served as member of the board of

252

directors of Victory Park portfolio company, johnnie-O, since 2015, and has served as a member of the board of directors and as the Co-Chief Executive Officer of each of VPC Impact Acquisition Holdings II (Nasdaq: VPCB), a special purpose acquisition company founded by an affiliate of Victory Park, and VPC Impact Acquisition Holdings III, Inc. (NYSE: VPCB), a special purpose acquisition company founded by an affiliate of Victory Park, since January 2021. From 2005 to 2007, Mr. Carroll was a member of the Solutions Group at Magnetar Capital LLC, where he specialized in direct financings to lower middle market companies. He has held various investment banking positions at William Blair and Robertson Stephens, specializing in corporate finance and mergers and acquisitions. Mr. Carroll received a B.A. in government from Georgetown University and an MBA from Harvard Business School. He speaks frequently on debt and private equity investing issues and has served as a guest lecturer and panelist at the University of Chicago’s Booth Global School of Business, Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management and Harvard Business School. Mr. Carroll is a member of the Finance Council of the Archdiocese of Chicago and Loyola Press and previously served on the Board of Regents at Georgetown University. He is also a director on the board of the Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago and is also a member of the board’s Finance Committee.

We believe Mr. Carroll is qualified to serve on the Combined Company Board because of his investment, finance and marketing background and experience in managing strategic initiatives and firm operations of the Sponsor.

Dan Preston. Upon the consummation of the Business Combination, Mr. Preston will serve as a member of the Combined Company Board. Mr. Preston has served as the Chief Executive Officer and Director of Metromile, an automobile insurance company offering usage-based insurance policies, since 2014, where he previously served as Chief Technology Officer since joining in 2013. Prior to joining Metromile, Mr. Preston was the co-founder and Chief Technology Officer of AisleBuyer, a mobile retail innovator that was acquired by Intuit in April 2012. Mr. Preston received a bachelor’s degree in Computer Science from Brandeis University and a master’s degree in Computer Science with a specialization in Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and Computer Vision from Stanford University.

We believe that Mr. Preston is qualified to serve as a member of the Combined Company Board because of his extensive public company management experience and his technology background.

Corporate Governance

Board Composition

The primary responsibilities of the Combined Company Board will be to provide oversight, strategic guidance, counseling and direction to the Combined Company’s management. When considering whether directors and director nominees have the experience, qualifications, attributes and skills, taken as a whole, to enable the Combined Company Board to satisfy its oversight responsibilities effectively in light of its business and structure, the Combined Company Board is expected to focus primarily on each person’s background and experience as reflected in the information discussed in each of the directors’ individual biographies set forth above in order to provide an appropriate mix of experience and skills relevant to the size and nature of its business. If the Proposed Charter is approved, the Combined Company Board will be divided into the following three classes, with members of each class serving staggered three-year terms:

•

Class I, which Dave anticipates will consist of [●] and [●], whose terms will expire at Combined Company’s first annual meeting of stockholders to be held after consummation of the Business Combination;

•

Class II, which Dave anticipates will consist of [●], whose term will expire at the Combined Company’s second annual meeting of stockholders to be held after consummation of the Business Combination; and

•

Class III, which Dave anticipates will consist of [●] and [●], whose terms will expire at the Combined Company’s third annual meeting of stockholders to be held after consummation of the Business Combination.

253

At each annual meeting of stockholders to be held after the initial classification, the successors to directors whose terms then expire will be elected to serve from the time of election and qualification until the third annual meeting following their election and until their successors are duly elected and qualified. This classification of the Combined Company Board may have the effect of delaying or preventing changes in the Combined Company’s control or management. The Combined Company’s directors may be removed for cause by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the Combined Company’s voting stock.

Director Independence

Upon the consummation of the Business Combination, the Combined Company Board is expected to determine that each of the directors on the Combined Company Board other than Jason Wilk will qualify as independent directors, as defined under Nasdaq listing rules, and the Combined Company Board will consist of a majority of “independent directors,” as defined under the rules. In addition, the Combined Company will be subject to the rules of the SEC and Nasdaq relating to the membership, qualifications, and operations of the audit committee, as discussed below.

As a “controlled company” within the meaning of the Nasdaq corporate governance standards, however, the Combined Company may elect not to comply with certain Nasdaq corporate governance requirements, including the requirements that a majority of the board of directors consist of independent directors and that the nominating and governance committee and compensation committee be composed entirely of independent directors. These requirements will not apply to the Combined Company as long as it remains a controlled company.

Board Leadership Structure

The Combined Company Board is expected to determine that it should maintain the flexibility to select the Chairman of the board of directors of the Combined Company and adjust its board leadership structure based on circumstances existing from time to time and based on criteria that are in the Combined Company’s best interests and the best interests of its stockholders, including the composition, skills, diversity and experience of the Combined Company Board and its members, specific challenges faced by the Combined Company or the industry in which it operates and governance efficiency. The Combined Company Board intends to adopt Corporate Governance Guidelines, effective as of the consummation of the Business Combination, which will provide for the appointment of a lead independent director at any time when the chairperson is not independent. [It is expected that [●] will be elected to serve as chairperson of the Combined Company Board and [●] will serve as lead independent director and will be responsible for, among other matters, calling and presiding over each executive session of independent directors and preside at all meetings at which the Chairperson of the Combined Company Board is not present.]

Board Role in Risk Oversight

Upon the consummation of Business Combination, one of the key functions of the Combined Company Board will be informed oversight of Combined Company’s risk management process. It is anticipated that this oversight function will be administered directly through the Combined Company Board as a whole, as well as through various standing committees of the Combined Company Board that address risks inherent in their respective areas of oversight. In particular, the Combined Company Board will be responsible for monitoring and assessing strategic risk exposure and Combined Company’s audit committee will have the responsibility to consider and discuss the Combined Company’s major financial risk exposures and the steps its management will take to monitor and control such exposures, including guidelines and policies to govern the process by which risk assessment and management is undertaken. The audit committee will also monitor compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. The compensation committee will also assess and monitor whether the Combined Company’s compensation plans, policies and programs comply with applicable legal and regulatory requirements. The nominating and corporate governance committee will monitor the effectiveness of Combined Company’s governance guidelines.

254

Controlled Company Exemption

After the completion of the Business Combination, Mr. Wilk will own a majority of the voting power of all outstanding shares of Combined Company Common Stock. As a result, the Combined Company will be a “controlled company” within the meaning of Nasdaq listing rules. Under Nasdaq rules, a company of which more than 50% of the voting power for the election of directors is held by an individual, group or another company is a “controlled company” and may elect not to comply with certain corporate governance standards, including the requirements (1) that a majority of its board of directors consist of independent directors, (2) that its board of directors have a compensation committee that is composed entirely of independent directors with a written charter addressing the committee’s purpose and responsibilities and (3) that director nominees must either be selected, or recommended for the board’s selection, either by independent directors constituting a majority of the board’s independent directors in a vote in which only independent directors participate, or a nominating committee comprised solely of independent directors. For at least some period following the Business Combination, the Combined Company may utilize these exemptions since the board has not yet made a determination with respect to the independence of any directors. Pending such determination, you may not have the same protections afforded to stockholders of companies that are subject to all of these corporate governance requirements. If the Combined Company ceases to be a “controlled company” and its shares continue to be listed on Nasdaq, the Combined Company will be required to comply with these standards and, depending on the board’s independence determination with respect to its then-current directors, the Combined may be required to add additional directors to its board in order to achieve such compliance within the applicable transition periods.

Committees of the Combined Company Board of Directors

Effective as of the consummation of the Business Combination, the Combined Company will have an audit committee, a compensation committee and a nominating and corporate governance committee, each of which will have the composition and responsibilities described below. Members will serve on these committees until their resignation or until otherwise determined by the Combined Company Board. Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act requires that the audit committee of a listed company be comprised solely of independent directors, and the rules of Nasdaq require that the compensation committee of a listed company be comprised solely of independent directors, in each case subject to phase-in rules. Each committee will operate under a charter approved by the Combined Company Board. Following the consummation of the Business Combination, copies of each charter will be posted on the Investor Relations section of the Combined Company website at https:// [●]. The Combined Company website and the information contained on, or that can be accessed through, the Combined Company website is not deemed to be incorporated by reference in, and is not considered part of, this proxy statement /prospectus.

Audit Committee

Following the consummation of the Business Combination, the board of the Combined Company will determine the members and the chairperson of the audit committee, who will each meet the requirements for independence and financial literacy under the current Nasdaq listing standards and SEC rules and regulations, including Rule 10A-3. In addition, it is expected that will qualify as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in applicable SEC rules.

Following the consummation of the Business Combination, the audit committee’s responsibilities will include, among other things:

•

appointing, compensating, retaining, evaluating, terminating and overseeing the Combined Company’s independent registered public accounting firm;

•

reviewing the adequacy of the Combined Company’s system of internal controls and the disclosure regarding such system of internal controls contained in the Combined Company’s periodic filings;

•

pre-approving all audit and permitted non-audit services and related engagement fees and terms for services provided by the Combined Company’s independent auditors;

•

reviewing with the Combined Company’s independent auditors their independence from management;

•

reviewing, recommending and discussing various aspects of the financial statements and reporting of the financial statements with management and the Combined Company’s independent auditors; and

255

•

establishing procedures for the confidential anonymous submission of concerns regarding questionable accounting, internal controls or auditing matters.

Compensation Committee

Following the consummation of the Business Combination, the board of the Combined Company will determine the members and the chairperson of the compensation committee. Each member of the committee will be a non-employee director, as defined in Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

Following the consummation of the Business Combination, the compensation committee will be responsible for, among other things:

•

setting the compensation of the Chief Executive Officer and, in consultation with the Chief Executive Officer, reviewing and approving the compensation of the other executive officers of the Combined Company;

•

reviewing on a periodic basis and making recommendations regarding non-employee director compensation to the Combined Company Board;

•

[reviewing on a periodic basis and discussing with the Chief Executive Officer and the Board regarding the development and succession plans for senior management positions];

•

administering the Combined Company’s cash and equity-based incentive plans that are stockholder-approved and/or where participants include the Combined Company’s executive officers and directors; and

•

providing oversight of and recommending improvements to the Combined Company’s overall compensation and incentive plans and benefit programs.

The charter also provides that the compensation committee may, in its sole discretion, retain or obtain the advice of a compensation consultant, legal counsel or other adviser and will be directly responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the work of any such adviser. However, before engaging or receiving advice from a compensation consultant, external legal counsel or any other adviser, the compensation committee will consider the independence of each such adviser, including the factors required by Nasdaq and the SEC.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

Following the consummation of the Business Combination, the board of the Combined Company will determine the members and the chairperson of the nominating and corporate governance committee. Following the consummation of the Business Combination, the nominating and corporate governance committee will be responsible for, among other things:

•

identifying, evaluating and making recommendations to the Combined Company Board regarding nominees for election to the board of directors and its committees;

•

developing and making recommendations to the Combined Company Board regarding corporate governance guidelines and matters;

•

overseeing the Combined Company’s corporate governance practices;

•

reviewing the Combined Company’s code of business conduct and ethics and approve any amendments or waivers on a periodic basis;

•

overseeing the evaluation and the performance of the Combined Company Board and individual directors; and

•

contributing to succession planning.

256

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

None of the members of the compensation committee is or has been at any time one of Dave’s officers or employees. None of Dave’s executive officers currently serves, or in the past fiscal year has served, as a member of the board of directors or compensation committee (or other board of directors committee performing equivalent functions or, in the absence of any such committee, the entire board of directors) of any entity that has one or more executive officers serving as a member of Dave’s Board or compensation committee.

Code of Ethics

The Combined Company Board will adopt a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that will apply to all of its directors, officers and employees, including the principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions. Upon the consummation of the Business Combination, the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics will be available on the Corporate Governance section of the Combined Company website. In addition, the Combined Company intends to post on the Corporate Governance section of its website all disclosures that are required by law or Nasdaq listing standards any amendments to, or waivers from, any provision of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics. The reference to the Combined Company website address in this proxy statement/prospectus does not include or incorporate by reference the information on our website into this proxy statement prospectus.

Limitation on Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors

The Proposed Charter, which will be effective upon consummation of the Business Combination, limits Combined Company’s directors’ liability to the fullest extent permitted under the DGCL. The DGCL provides that directors of a corporation will not be personally liable for monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary duties as directors, except for liability:

•

for any transaction from which the director derives an improper personal benefit;

•

for any act or omission not in good faith or that involves intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;

•

for any unlawful payment of dividends or redemption of shares; or

•

for any breach of a director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders.

If the DGCL is amended to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the liability of the Combined Company’s directors will be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as so amended.

Delaware law and the Combined Company Amended and Restated Bylaws, which will be effective upon the consummation of the Business Combination, provide that the Combined Company will, in certain situations, indemnify the Combined Company’s directors and officers and may indemnify other employees and other agents, to the fullest extent permitted by law. Any indemnified person is also entitled, subject to certain limitations, to advancement, direct payment, or reimbursement of reasonable expenses (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements) in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding.

In addition, the Combined Company will enter into separate indemnification agreements with the Combined Company’s directors and officers. These agreements, among other things, will require the Combined Company to indemnify its directors and officers for certain expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and settlement amounts incurred by a director or officer in any action or proceeding arising out of their services as one of the Combined Company’s directors or officers or any other company or enterprise to which the person provides services at the Combined Company’s request. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers, or control persons, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

257

These provisions may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against the Combined Company directors for breach of their fiduciary duty. These provisions also may have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against officers and directors, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit the Combined Company and its stockholders. Furthermore, a stockholder’s investment may be adversely affected to the extent the Combined Company pays the costs of settlement and damage awards against officers and directors pursuant to these indemnification provisions.

The Combined Company also plans to maintain a directors’ and officers’ insurance policy pursuant to which the Combined Company’s directors and officers are insured against liability for actions taken in their capacities as directors and officers. We believe that the provisions in the proposed charter, the Combined Company Amended and Restated Bylaws, which will be effective upon the consummation of the Business Combination, the directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and the indemnity agreements are necessary to attract and retain talented and experienced officers and directors.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Throughout this section, unless otherwise noted, “we,” “us,” “our” and similar terms refer to Dave prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, and to the Combined Company and its subsidiaries after the Business Combination.

This section discusses the material components of the executive compensation program for Dave’s named executive officers who appear in the “2020 Summary Compensation Table” below. In 2020, the “named executive officers” and their positions with Dave were as follows:

•

Jason Wilk: Chief Executive Officer

•

Kyle Beilman: Chief Financial Officer

This discussion may contain forward-looking statements that are based on our current plans, considerations, expectations and determinations regarding future compensation programs. Actual compensation programs that we adopt following the completion of the Business Combination may differ materially from the currently planned programs summarized in this discussion.

Summary Compensation Table

The following table sets forth information concerning the compensation of the named executive officers for each of the last two or fewer fiscal years during which such individuals were determined to be named executive officers.


Name and Principal Position	Year		Salary ($)		Bonus ($)⁽²⁾		Option Awards ($)⁽¹⁾		Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation ($)⁽³⁾		All Other Compensation ($)		Total ($)

Option awards are reported at aggregate grant date fair value in the year granted, as determined in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 718. For the assumptions used in valuing these awards for purposes of computing this expense, please see Note 1 of the Dave financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020.

(2)

Actual performance for the 2020 fiscal year was achieved at 61.5% of target performance. In consideration of the challenges posed by COVID-19 during the 2020 fiscal year, the Dave board of directors determined to adjust the annual performance payout for 2020 to 90% achievement of target performance. The amounts in this column represent the difference between the amount each named executive officer earned based on actual performance over the actual annual performance payout for 2020 assuming 90% achievement of target performance.

(3)	Represents the annual performance cash bonus that, in each case, was earned by the named executive officers for the applicable year of service based on actual performance. Actual performance for the 2020 fiscal year was achieved at 61.5% of target performance.

2020 Salaries

In fiscal year 2020, the named executive officers received an annual base salary of $311,538 to compensate them for services rendered to Dave. The base salary payable to each of Mr. Wilk and Mr. Beilman was intended to provide a fixed component of compensation reflecting the executive’s skill set, experience, role and responsibilities.

259

2020 Bonuses

In fiscal year 2020, Mr. Wilk and Mr. Beilman were eligible to earn annual cash bonuses targeted at $150,000 and $75,000, respectively, based on Dave’s achievement of established performance metrics weighted in accordance with the table below.


Metrics	Target Performance			Weighting			Actual Achievement
Non-GAAP Revenue⁽¹⁾	$	170,000,000			50	%		50.5	%
Non-GAAP Gross Margin⁽²⁾		52.5	%		30	%		102.8	%
Banking TPV		175,000,000			20	%		27.2	%

(1)	Non-GAAP revenue was calculated using GAAP service based revenue, adjusted for period-end revenue deferrals and processor costs associated with advance disbursements.

(2)

Non-GAAP gross margin is non-GAAP gross profit divided by non-GAAP revenues. Non-GAAP gross profit was calculated using non-GAAP revenue, less processor costs associated with the disbursement and collection of advances and the provision for unrecoverable advances, calculated using actual unrecovered amounts for historical periods and assumed default amounts for periods where advance recoveries were still anticipated.

Actual performance for the 2020 fiscal year was achieved at 61.5% of target performance. In consideration of the challenges posed by COVID-19 during the 2020 fiscal year, the Dave board of directors determined to adjust the annual performance cash bonus payout for 2020 to 90% achievement of target performance. The actual annual performance cash bonuses awarded to each named executive officer for 2020 performance are set forth above in the Summary Compensation Table in the column titled “Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation.”

2020 Equity Awards

In fiscal year 2020, Mr. Beilman received a stock option to purchase 1,050,000 shares of Dave common stock, which vests monthly over the 48 month-period following the vesting commencement date, subject to his continued employment through each vesting date. On March 3, 2020, Mr. Beilman exercised his stock option to purchase all 1,050,000 shares pursuant to an early exercise feature. The shares received by Mr. Beilman pursuant to the exercise of the then-unvested portion of his stock option remained subject to the same vesting conditions as applied to the stock option prior to exercise.

For additional information regarding a stock option grant made to Mr. Wilk in fiscal year 2021, please see the section below entitled “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control — Wilk 2021 Option Grant” in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Dave 2017 Stock Plan

General. Dave’s board of directors originally adopted, and Dave’s stockholders approved, the Dave 2017 Stock Plan (the “2017 Stock Plan”) in 2017. The 2017 Stock Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options to Dave employees (and employees of any parent or subsidiary of Dave) and for the grant of non-statutory stock options, restricted stock and restricted stock purchase rights to Dave employees, directors and consultants (and employees and consultants of any parent, subsidiary or affiliate of Dave). The 2017 Stock Plan will terminate contingent upon the effectiveness of the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan, at which time the outstanding awards previously granted thereunder will be assumed by VPCC. Following termination of the 2017 Stock Plan, no new awards will be granted under such plan but previously granted awards will continue to be subject to the terms and conditions of the 2017 Stock Plan and the stock award agreements pursuant to which such awards were granted.

Plan Administration. The Dave board of directors has administered the 2017 Stock Plan.

Types of Awards. The 2017 Stock Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, restricted stock and restricted stock purchase rights.

Stock Options. The Dave board of directors has granted stock options under the 2017 Stock Plan. The exercise price per share applicable to such options was equal to at least the fair market value per share of Dave common

260

stock on the date of grant. The term of options granted under the 2017 Stock Plan did not exceed 10 years; provided, however, that any incentive stock option granted to a participant who owned more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of Dave stock, or of certain of Dave’s subsidiary corporations, did not have a term in excess of five years and had an exercise price per share of at least 110% of the fair market value per share of Dave common stock on the grant date. Subject to the provisions of the Dave 2017 Stock Plan, the Dave board of directors determined the remaining terms of the options (e.g., vesting). After the termination of service of an employee, director or consultant, the participant may exercise his or her option, to the extent vested, for the period of time stated in his or her option agreement. Generally, if termination is due to death or disability, the option will remain exercisable for 12 months. In all other cases except for a termination for cause, the option will generally remain exercisable for 90 days following the termination of service. In the event of a termination for cause, the option will immediately terminate. However, in no event may an option be exercised later than the expiration of its term.

Non-transferability of Awards. The 2017 Stock Plan generally does not allow for the transfer of awards or shares acquired pursuant to an award and only the recipient of an option may exercise such an award during his or her lifetime.

Certain Adjustments. In the event of certain corporate events or changes in Dave capitalization, to prevent diminution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits available under the 2017 Stock Plan, the Dave compensation committee will make adjustments to the number of shares reserved for issuance under the 2017 Stock Plan, the exercise prices of and number of shares subject to each outstanding stock option and the purchase prices of and number of shares subject to each other outstanding stock award.

Corporate Transaction. The 2017 Stock Plan provides that in the event of certain significant corporate transactions, including: (i) a transfer of all or substantially all of Dave’s assets, (ii) a merger, consolidation or other capital reorganization or business combination transaction of Dave with or into another corporation, entity or person, or (iii) the consummation of a transaction, or series of related transactions, in which any person becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of Dave’s then outstanding capital stock, each outstanding award will be treated as the Dave compensation committee determines.

Amendment or Termination. Dave’s board of directors may amend or terminate the 2017 Stock Plan at any time, provided such action does not impair the rights of any participant without his or her consent. In addition, stockholder approval must be obtained to the extent necessary and desirable to comply with applicable laws.

Benefits

In 2020, Dave provided benefits to its named executive officers on the same basis as provided to all of its employees, including medical, dental, vision, life and AD&D, and short- and long-term disability insurance, flexible spending accounts, vacation and paid holidays. The named executive officers are also eligible to participate in Dave’s 401(k) plan.

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control

Wilk 2021 Option Grant

On March 3, 2021, Jason Wilk received a stock option grant to purchase 8,458,481 shares of Dave common stock. Subject to the occurrence of a “public listing” or “corporation transaction” (as defined in the Dave 2017 Stock Plan) (the “liquidity requirement”), the option will vest and become exercisable as to a particular tranche of shares set forth in the table below (i) upon the achievement of the corresponding stock price milestone as to

262

such tranche of shares (the “milestone requirement”) and (ii) subject to his continuous employment by Dave or its successor as its Chief Executive Officer, Executive Chair or another C-suite position as an officer of Dave reporting to the board or the then-chief executive officer through the date such stock price milestone is achieved (the “service requirement”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, following a public listing of Dave common stock, no portion of the option may be exercised (even if vested) unless and until the date that the existing stockholders of Dave as of the date of grant are not subject to any lock up restrictions imposed in connection with such public listing and their shares are freely tradable under a registration statement, Rule 144 (without regard to volume limitations) or other exemption from registration.

A milestone requirement will only be deemed satisfied if the Dave board of directors or its delegate certifies that the stock price milestone has been achieved as of a particular date (which certification will be done within 30 days after any stock price milestone has been achieved). The achievement of a stock price milestone will also satisfy the achievement of any unachieved stock price milestone for a lower-numbered tranche. Once a stock price milestone has been achieved, it is forever deemed achieved and it cannot be achieved again.


Milestone Table
Tranche	Stock Price Milestone	Fraction of Total Shares Eligible to Vest
1	Stock Price of $7.26 or more	1/3^rd
2	Stock Price of $10.89 or more	1/12^th
3	Stock Price of $14.52 or more	1/12^th
4	Stock Price of $18.15 or more	1/12^th
5	Stock Price of $21.78 or more	1/12^th
6	Stock Price of $25.41 or more	1/12^th
7	Stock Price of $29.04 or more	1/12^th
8	Stock Price of $32.67 or more	1/12^th
9	Stock Price of $36.30 or more	1/12^th

Mr. Wilk’s stock option provides that if Mr. Wilk’s employment is terminated without cause or Mr. Wilk resigns for “good reason,” the stock option will remain outstanding and exercisable in accordance with its terms until the earlier of (i) the 4-year anniversary of the termination date, (ii) March 2, 2031 or (iii) such earlier date as provided or permitted under the 2017 Stock Plan. Upon a termination of employment for any other reason (other than for cause), the stock option will terminate with respect to unvested shares subject to the stock option 90 days following the termination date (or March 2, 2031 if earlier).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Mr. Wilk’s employment as the Chief Executive Officer, Executive Chair or another C-suite position as an officer of Dave reporting to the Dave board of directors or the then-chief executive officer of Dave (or any successor) is terminated without cause or Mr. Wilk resigns for “good reason,” the service requirement will be deemed satisfied and the stock option (to the extent it is then outstanding and unexercised) will remain outstanding and will vest when and if the liquidity and milestone requirements are met until the earlier to occur of (i) the date that is 2 years following Mr. Wilk’s termination date or (ii) the stock option’s earlier termination. If requested by Dave, Mr. Wilk will execute a general release of claims in connection with Mr. Wilk’s termination.

“Good reason” generally includes the occurrence of the following without Mr. Wilk’s consent: (a) a decrease of more than 20% in Mr. Wilk’s total annual cash compensation (excluding any equity-related or long-term incentive compensation opportunity) other than a reduction applied equally to all executives or (b) a requirement that Mr. Wilk hold a position other than Chief Executive Officer, Executive Chair or another C-suite position as an officer reporting to the Dave board of directors or the then-chief executive officer of Dave.

For purposes of Mr. Wilk’s stock option, a “public listing” occurs when (i) Dave shares (or shares of any successor or parent company thereof) becomes publicly traded on an internationally-recognized stock exchange or (ii) a transfer or conversion of shares is made pursuant to a statutory merger or statutory consolidation of Dave

263

with or into another corporation and the common stock of the surviving corporation or any direct or indirect parent corporation thereof is registered under the Exchange Act or is otherwise publicly traded on an internationally-recognized stock exchange (as determined by the Dave board of directors). The Merger will constitute a “public listing” and a “corporate transaction” for purposes of Mr. Wilk’s stock option.

For purposes of Mr. Wilk’s stock option, “stock price” means as of a specified date: (a) in the event of a corporate transaction, the per share consideration payable to holders of Dave common stock in connection with such corporate transaction based on the gross proceeds payable in such corporation transaction (as may be readjusted to reflect any additional gross proceeds distributed after the consummation of the corporate transaction); or (b) after a public listing, the per share value of Dave’s outstanding shares based on the mean of the closing prices of the shares for the 30 consecutive trading days immediately preceding such date of determination, commencing as of the trading day that is 29 trading days prior to the six month anniversary of the public listing.

Beilman Option Grants and Early Exercises

On January 26, 2018, Kyle Beilman received a stock option grant to purchase 880,140 shares of Dave common stock. The stock option vested 25% on July 24, 2018 and 1/48^th monthly thereafter, subject to Mr. Beilman’s continuous service through each vesting date. On March 12, 2018, Mr. Beilman exercised the stock option pursuant to an early exercise feature. To the extent the stock option was unvested at the time of exercise, shares of Dave common stock issued to Mr. Beilman upon such exercise remain subject to the same vesting conditions as applied to the unvested portion of the stock option prior to the exercise.

On November 14, 2018, Mr. Beilman received a stock option grant to purchase 880,140 shares of Dave common stock. The stock option vests 25% on January 24, 2022 and 1/48^th monthly thereafter, subject to Mr. Beilman’s continuous service through each vesting date. Mr. Beilman’s stock option provides that if Mr. Beilman’s continuous service terminates, the vested portion Mr. Beilman’s option will remain exercisable until the earliest to occur of (i) 90 days following the termination date (10 days if the termination is for cause or 12 months if the termination is due to death or disability) or (ii) November 13, 2028.

On February 4, 2020, Mr. Beilman received a stock option grant to purchase 1,050,000 shares of Dave common stock. The stock option vested 1/48^th on July 27, 2019 and monthly thereafter, subject to Mr. Beilman’s continuous service through each vesting date. If Mr. Beilman’s employment is terminated without cause within 120 days of a change of control, then 50% of the then unvested shares subject to the stock option will immediately vest as of the date of such termination. On March 3, 2020, Mr. Beilman exercised the stock option pursuant to an early exercise feature. To the extent the stock option was unvested at the time of exercise, shares of Dave common stock issued to Mr. Beilman upon such exercise remain subject to the same vesting conditions as applied to the unvested portion of the stock option prior to the exercise.

Executive Compensation Arrangements — Post-Closing Arrangements

2021 Equity Incentive Plan

In connection with the Business Combination, the VPCC Board will adopt the 2021 Plan, subject to shareholder approval, in order to facilitate the grant of equity awards to attract, retain and incentivize employees (including the named executive officers), independent contractors and directors of the Combined Company and its affiliates, which is essential to the Combined Company’s long term success. For additional information about the Equity Incentive Plan, please see the “Proposal No. 5 — Approval of the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan” in this proxy statement/prospectus.

2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan

In connection with the Business Combination, the VPCC Board will adopt the Employee Stock Purchase Agreement, subject to stockholder approval, in order to allow employees of the Combined Company and its

264

affiliates to purchase shares of Combined Company Class A common stock at a discount through payroll deductions and to benefit from stock price appreciation, thus enhancing the alignment of employee and stockholder interests. For additional information about the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, please see the “Proposal No. 6 — Approval of the 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan” in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Post-Closing Employment Agreements

It is anticipated that Mr. Wilk and Mr. Beilman will enter into employment agreements with the Combined Company. The terms and conditions of the employment agreements have not been determined as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus.

Director Compensation

Historically, Dave has neither had a formal compensation policy for its non-employee directors, nor has it had a formal policy of reimbursing expenses incurred by its non-employee directors in connection with their board service. Dave did not provide its non-employee directors who will be non-employee directors of the Combined Company, with any cash, equity or other compensation in 2020.

Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy

In connection with the Business Combination, the Combined Company Board will adopt a new non-employee director compensation policy to govern the Combined Company effective as of the Closing, the terms and conditions of which have not been determined as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus. It is anticipated that the new policy will be designed to attract and retain high quality non-employee directors by providing competitive compensation and align their interests with the interests of stockholders through equity awards.

265

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

The following summary of the material terms of the Combined Company’s securities following the Business Combination is not intended to be a complete summary of the rights and preferences of such securities. The full text of the Proposed Charter is attached as Annex B to this proxy statement/prospectus. We urge you to read the Proposed Charter in its entirety for a complete description of the rights and preferences of the Combined Company’s securities following the Business Combination.

Authorized and Outstanding Stock

The Proposed Charter authorizes the issuance of Combined Company shares of capital stock, each with a par value of $0.0001, consisting of (a) 500,000,000 shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock, (b) 100,000,000 shares of Combined Company Class V Common Stock, and (c) 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock. Following the filing of the Proposed Charter with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and immediately prior to Closing of the Business Combination, each share of Class B common stock outstanding immediately prior to the filing of the Proposed Charter will automatically be converted into one share of Class A common stock of VPCC and concurrently with such conversion, the number of authorized shares of Class B common stock will be reduced to zero.

The outstanding shares of VPCC Common Stock are, and the shares of common stock issuable in connection with the Business Combination and the PIPE Investment will be, duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. As of the record date for the Special Meeting, there were (i) 25,376,598 shares of VPCC Class A Common Stock outstanding, held of record by [●] holders, (ii) 6,344,150 shares of VPCC Class B Common Stock outstanding, held of record by [●] holders, (iii) no shares of preferred stock outstanding, (iv) [●] Public Warrants outstanding, held of record by holders (which amount is inclusive of the number of Public Warrants underlying the Units set forth in clause (vi) below) and (vi) [●] Units outstanding, held of record by [●] holders. Such numbers do not include DTC participants or beneficial owners holding shares through nominee names.

Pursuant to the terms of VPCC’s Existing Charter, issued and outstanding shares of VPCC Class B Common Stock will automatically convert into an equal number of shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock upon the Closing. Our Sponsor, officers and directors waived any adjustment to the exchange ratio upon conversion of the VPCC Class B Common Stock into Combined Company Class A Common Stock pursuant to a letter agreement entered into with VPCC at the time of the IPO.

Combined Company Class A Common Stock and Class V Common Stock

The Proposed Charter provides that the Combined Company Class A Common Stock will have identical rights, powers, preferences and privileges to current VPCC Class A Common Stock. With the exception of voting power, the Combined Company shares of Class V Common Stock shall have the same rights and powers as, rank equally to (including as to dividends and distributions, and upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation), share ratably and be identical in all respects and as to all matters as the Combined Company Class A Common Stock.

Voting Power

Except as otherwise required by law or as otherwise provided in any certificate of designation for any series of preferred stock, under the Existing Charter and the Proposed Charter, the holders of common stock possess or will possess, as applicable, all voting power for the election of directors and all other matters requiring stockholder action and are entitled or will be entitled, as applicable, to one vote per share on matters to be voted on by stockholders. Each holder of Class V Common Stock has the right to ten votes per share of Class V Common Stock held of record by such holder on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders. The holders of shares of Class A Common Stock and Class V Common Stock shall at all times vote together as a single class on all matters (including the election of directors) submitted to a vote of our stockholders; provided, however,

266

that, except as otherwise required by law, holders of shares of Class A Common Stock and Class V Common Stock shall not be entitled to vote on any amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation (including any certificate of designation relating to any series of preferred stock) that relates solely to the terms of one or more outstanding series of preferred stock if the holders of such affected series are entitled, either separately or together as a class with the holders of one or more other such series, to vote thereon pursuant to the Certificate of Incorporation (including any certificate of designation relating to any series of preferred stock).

Dividends

Subject to the rights, if any, of the holders of any outstanding shares of preferred stock, under both the Existing Charter and under the DGCL, holders of common stock will be entitled to receive such dividends and other distributions, if any, as may be declared from time to time by the board of directors of the Combined Company in its discretion out of funds legally available therefor and shall share equally on a per share basis in such dividends and distributions.

Liquidation, Dissolution and Winding Up

In the event of the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, or winding-up of the Combined Company, the holders of common stock will be entitled to receive all the remaining assets of the Combined Company available for distribution to stockholders, ratably in proportion to the number of shares of common stock held by them, after the rights of creditors of the Combined Company and the holders of the preferred stock, if any, have been satisfied.

Preemptive or Other Rights

The holders of Combined Company common stock will not have preemptive or other subscription rights and there will be no sinking fund or redemption provisions applicable to Combined Company common stock.

Conversion

The Class V Common Stock will be convertible into shares of Class A Common Stock on a one-to-one basis at the option of the holders of the Class V Common Stock at any time upon written notice to the Combined Company. In addition, the Class V Common Stock will automatically convert into shares of Class A Common Stock immediately prior to the close of business on the earliest to occur of certain events specified in our Certificate of Incorporation.

Exclusive Forum

The Proposed Charter provides that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, unless the Combined Company otherwise consents in writing, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, in the event that the Court of Chancery does not have jurisdiction, the federal district for the District of Delaware or other state courts of the State of Delaware) shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for any action brought (1) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Combined Company, (2) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by, or any other wrongdoing by, any current or former director, officer, other employee or stockholder of the Company, (3) any action asserting a claim against the Combined Company arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL, the Proposed Charter or the Combined Company Amended and Restated Bylaws, or as to which the DGCL confers jurisdiction on the Court of Chancery, (4) any action to interpret, apply, enforce or determine the validity of any provisions of the Proposed Charter or Combined Company Amended and Restated Bylaws, or (5) any other action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine.

267

stockholders’ ability to obtain a chosen judicial forum for disputes with the Combined Company or its directors, officers, employees, or stockholders. If any other court of competent jurisdiction were to find either exclusive-forum provision in the Proposed Charter to be inapplicable or unenforceable, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving the dispute in other jurisdictions, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, although the Delaware Supreme Court ruled in March 2020 that federal forum selection provisions purporting to require claims under the Securities Act be brought in federal court were “facially valid” under Delaware law, there is uncertainty as to whether other courts will enforce our federal forum selection clause.

Election of Directors

The VPCC Board is currently divided into three classes, Class I, Class II and Class III, with only one class of directors being elected in each year and each class (except for those directors appointed prior to VPCC’s first annual meeting of stockholders) serving a three-year term. Under the Existing Charter, the term of office of the Class I director will expire at the first annual meeting of stockholders. The term of office of the Class II directors will expire at the second annual meeting of stockholders. The term of office of the Class III directors will expire at the third annual meeting of stockholders.

Following the Closing, the structure of the board of directors of the Combined Company will change, as discussed in greater detail in “Proposal No. 4—The Director Election Proposal.” Under the terms of the Proposed Charter, upon the effectiveness thereof, (i) the term of office of the Class I directors will expire at the first annual meeting of stockholders following the effectiveness of the Proposed Charter; (ii) the term of office of the Class II directors will expire at the second annual meeting of stockholders following the effectiveness of the Proposed Charter; and (iii) the term of office of the Class III directors will expire at the third annual meeting of stockholders following the effectiveness of the Proposed Charter.

Under both the Existing Charter and the Proposed Charter, there is no cumulative voting with respect to the election of directors, with the result that directors will be elected by a plurality of the votes cast at a meeting of stockholders by holders of common stock.

Capital Stock Prior to the Business Combination

Pursuant to VPCC’s Existing Charter, VPCC’s authorized capital stock consists of 200,000,000 shares of Class A common stock, $0.0001 par value, 20,000,000 shares of Class B common stock, $0.0001 par value, and 1,000,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock, $0.0001 par value. The following description summarizes the material terms of VPCC’s capital stock. Because it is only a summary, it may not contain all the information that is important to you.

VPCC Units

Each Unit had an offering price of $10.00 at the time of the IPO and consists of one share of Class A common stock and one-fourth of one redeemable warrant. Only whole warrants are exercisable. Each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock. Pursuant to the warrant agreement, a warrantholder may exercise his, her or its warrants only for a whole number of shares of common stock. This means that only a whole warrant may be exercised at any given time by a warrantholder. No fractional warrants will be issued upon separation of the units and only whole warrants will trade.

VPCC Common Stock

Stockholders of record are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters to be voted on by stockholders. Holders of Class A common stock and holders of Class B common stock will vote together as a single class on all matters submitted to a vote of our stockholders except as required by law. Unless specified in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, or as required by applicable provisions of the DGCL or applicable stock exchange rules, the affirmative vote of a majority of our shares of common stock that are voted is required to approve any such matter voted on by our stockholders. Our board of directors is divided into three classes, each of which will generally serve for a term of three years with only one class of directors being elected in each year. There is no cumulative voting

268

with respect to the election of directors, with the result that the holders of more than 50% of the shares voted for the election of directors can elect all of the directors. Our stockholders are entitled to receive ratable dividends when, as and if declared by the board of directors out of funds legally available therefor.

We are providing Public Stockholders with the opportunity to redeem, upon the Closing, their Public Shares for a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the business combination, including interest earned on funds held in the Trust Account (which interest shall be net of taxes payable), by the total number of then outstanding Public Shares, subject to the limitations described herein. The Sponsor and our directors and officers have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to the Founder Shares and any Public Shares they may hold in connection with the consummation of the business combination.

We will consummate the business combination only if a majority of our outstanding shares of common stock are voted in favor of the Business Combination Proposal at the special meeting. However, the participation of the Sponsor, officers and directors, or their affiliates in privately negotiated transactions (as described in this proxy statement), if any, could result in the approval of the business combination even if a majority of the stockholders vote, or indicate their intention to vote, against the business combination.

The Sponsor has agreed to vote its Founder Shares and any Public Shares purchased during or after our IPO in favor of the business combination. As of the date of filing this proxy statement, the Sponsor, directors and officers do not currently hold any public shares. Public stockholders may elect to redeem their Public Shares whether they vote for or against the business combination.

Pursuant to the Existing Charter, if we are unable to consummate a business combination by March 9, 2023, we will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, including interest earned on the funds held in the trust account (which interest shall be net of taxes payable and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining stockholders and our board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject, in each case, to our obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. The Sponsor and our officers and directors have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to the founder shares if we fail to complete our initial business combination March 9, 2023 or any extended period of time that we may have to consummate an initial business combination as a result of an amendment to our current charter. However, if our Initial Stockholders or management team acquire Public Shares in or after this offering, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such Public Shares if we fail to complete our initial business combination by March 9, 2023.

In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of VPCC after our initial business combination, holders of our common stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining available for distribution to them after payment of liabilities and after provision is made for each class of stock, if any, having preference over the common stock.

Our stockholders have no preemptive or other subscription rights. There are no sinking fund provisions applicable to our common stock, except that upon the consummation of our initial business combination, subject to the limitations described herein, we will provide VPCC Stockholders with the opportunity to redeem, upon the Closing, their Public Shares for a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the business combination, including interest earned on funds held in the trust account (which interest shall be net of taxes payable), by the total number of then outstanding Public Shares, subject to the limitations described herein.

VPCC Founder Shares

The Founder Shares are identical to the shares of Class A common stock included in the units, and holders of Founder Shares have the same stockholder rights as Public Stockholders, except that (i) the Founder Shares are

269

subject to certain transfer restrictions, as described in more detail below, (ii) the Founder Shares are entitled to registration rights (iii) VPCC’s Initial Stockholders, Sponsor, officers and directors have entered into a letter agreement with us at the time of IPO, pursuant to which they have agreed (A) to waive their redemption rights with respect to any Founder Shares and any Public Shares held by them in connection with the completion of VPCC’s initial business combination, (B) to waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares and any Public Shares in connection with a stockholder vote to approve an amendment to VPCC’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation to modify the substance or timing of VPCC’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with VPCC’s initial business combination or to redeem 100% of VPCC’s Public Shares if we do not complete VPCC’s initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of the IPO or with respect to any other provision relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity and (C) to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Founder Shares held by them if we fail to complete VPCC’s initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of the IPO, although they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Public Shares they hold if we fail to complete VPCC’s initial business combination within such time period, and (iv) the Founder Shares are automatically convertible into Class A Common Stock concurrently with or immediately following the consummation of our initial business combination on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment as described herein and in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation. VPCC’s sponsor, officers and directors have agreed, if VPCC submits its initial business combination to its Public Stockholders for a vote, pursuant to the letter agreement to vote any Founder Shares held by them and any Public Shares in favor of VPCC’s initial business combination. For more information, please see the section titled “The Business Combination and the Merger Agreement—Certain Agreements Related to the Business Combination—Founder Holder Agreement.”

The Founder Shares will automatically convert into shares of Class A common stock concurrently with or immediately following the consummation of our initial business combination on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like, and subject to further adjustment as provided herein. In the case that additional shares of Class A common stock or equity-linked securities are issued or deemed issued in connection with our initial business combination, the number of shares of Class A common stock issuable upon conversion of all founder shares will equal, in the aggregate, on an as-converted basis, 20% of the total number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding after such conversion (after giving effect to any redemptions of shares of Class A common stock by public stockholders), including the total number of shares of Class A common stock issued, or deemed issued or issuable upon conversion or exercise of any equity-linked securities or rights issued or deemed issued, by the VPCC in connection with or in relation to the consummation of the initial business combination, excluding any shares of Class A common stock or equity-linked securities or rights exercisable for or convertible into shares of Class A common stock issued, or to be issued, to any seller in the initial business combination and any Private Placement Warrants issued to our sponsor, officers or directors upon conversion of working capital loans, provided that such conversion of Founder Shares will never occur on a less than one-for-one basis.

With certain limited exceptions, the Founder Shares are not transferable, assignable or salable (except to VPCC’s officers and directors and other persons or entities affiliated with VPCC’s sponsor, each of whom will be subject to the same transfer restrictions) until the earlier of (A) one year after the completion of VPCC’s initial business combination or earlier if, subsequent to VPCC’s initial business combination, the closing price of VPCC’s Class A 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 VPCC’s initial business combination, and (B) the date on which VPCC completes a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of the VPCC Stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property.

Preferred Shares

Both the Existing Charter and the Proposed Charter provide that shares of preferred stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series. the VPCC Board is authorized to fix the voting rights, if any, designations, powers, preferences, the relative, participating, optional or other special rights and any qualifications, limitations and

270

restrictions thereof, applicable to the shares of each series. the VPCC Board will be able to, without stockholder approval, issue preferred stock with voting and other rights that could adversely affect the voting power and other rights of the holders of the common stock and could have anti-takeover effects. The ability of the VPCC Board to issue preferred stock without stockholder approval could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change of control of us or the removal of existing management. We have no preferred stock outstanding at the date hereof. Although we do not currently intend to issue any shares of preferred stock, we cannot assure you that we will not do so in the future. No shares of preferred stock have been issued or registered.

Dave Assumed Options and Warrants

At the Closing, all outstanding Dave Options (other than Dave Non-Plan Options, which will be cancelled as of the Closing) will be assumed by the Combined Company and automatically converted into options to purchase shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock, respectively. Such assumed stock options will continue to be subject to the terms and conditions of the Dave stock plan, stock option agreement, which governed such securities prior to the Closing.

Subject to the terms of the Merger Agreement, each Rollover Option will cover the number of whole shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share) equal to (i) the number of shares of Dave Capital Stock subject to the applicable Dave Option multiplied by (ii) the Per Share Dave Stock Consideration and rounding the resulting number down to the nearest whole number of shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock. The exercise price for each Rollover Option will equal (i) the per share exercise price of the applicable option divided by (ii) by the Per Share Dave Stock Consideration, and rounding the resulting exercise price up to the nearest whole cent.

At the Closing, all outstanding and unexercised Dave Warrants will be automatically terminated in accordance with the terms of the applicable Dave Warrant and be of no further force or effect as of the Effective Time.

Dave Assumed Restricted Shares

At the Closing, all outstanding and unvested shares of Dave Restricted Stock will be assumed by the Combined Company and automatically converted into the number of restricted shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock equal to (i) the number of shares of Dave Restricted Stock subject to such awards multiplied by (ii) the Per Share Dave Merger Consideration and rounding the resulting number down to the nearest whole number of shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock. Such assumed restricted shares will continue to be subject to the terms and conditions of the Dave stock plan, award agreement, or stock restriction agreement, as applicable, which governed such securities prior to the Closing.

Warrants

VPCC Public Warrants

Each whole warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase one share of VPCC’s Class A Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as discussed below, at any time commencing on the later of 12 months from the closing of the IPO or 30 days after the completion of VPCC’s initial business combination. Pursuant to the warrant agreement, a warrantholder may exercise its warrants only for a whole number of shares of Class A Common Stock. This means that only a whole warrant may be exercised at any given time by a warrantholder. No fractional warrants will be issued upon separation of the units and only whole warrants will trade.

The warrants will expire five years after the completion of VPCC’s initial business combination, at 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

VPCC will not be obligated to deliver any shares of Class A 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

271

respect to the shares of Class A Common Stock underlying the warrants is then effective and a prospectus relating thereto is current, subject to VPCC’s satisfying its obligations described below with respect to registration. No warrant will be exercisable and VPCC will not be obligated to issue shares of Class A Common Stock upon exercise of a warrant unless Class A 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. In the event that the conditions in the two immediately preceding sentences are not satisfied with respect to a warrant, the holder of such warrant will not be entitled to exercise such warrant and such warrant may have no value and expire worthless. In no event will VPCC be required to net cash settle any warrant. In the event that a registration statement is not effective for the exercised warrants, the purchaser of a Unit containing such warrant will have paid the full purchase price for the Unit solely for the share of Class A Common Stock underlying such Unit.

VPCC has not registered the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants. However, VPCC has agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15 business days after the closing of VPCC’s initial business combination, VPCC will use its best efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement covering the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants, to cause such registration statement to become effective and to maintain a current prospectus relating to those shares of Class A common stock until the warrants expire or are redeemed, as specified in the warrant agreement. If a registration statement covering the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective by the 60^th business day after the closing of VPCC’s initial business combination, warrantholders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when VPCC will have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act or another exemption. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a registration statement covering the Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective within a specified period following the consummation of VPCC’s initial business combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when VPCC shall have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a cashless basis pursuant to the exemption provided by Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, provided that such exemption is available. If that exemption, or another exemption, is not available, holders will not be able to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis.

Redemption of warrants when the price per share of Class A common stock equals or exceeds $18.00.

Once the warrants become exercisable, VPCC may redeem the outstanding warrants (except as described herein with respect to the Private Placement 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 given after the warrants become exercisable (the “30-day redemption period”) to each warrantholder; and

•

if, and only if, the reported last sale price of the Class A 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 three business days before VPCC sends the notice of redemption to the warrantholders.

VPCC will not redeem the warrants as described above unless a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the issuance of the Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is then effective and a current prospectus relating to those shares of Class A common stock is available throughout the 30-day redemption period. If and when the warrants become redeemable by us, we may exercise our redemption right even if we are unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws.

VPCC has established the last of the redemption criterion discussed above to prevent a redemption call unless there is at the time of the call a significant premium to the warrant exercise price. If the foregoing conditions are

272

satisfied and VPCC issues a notice of redemption of the warrants, each warrantholder will be entitled to exercise its warrant prior to the scheduled redemption date. However, the price of the Class A common stock may fall below the $18.00 redemption trigger price (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) as well as the $11.50 warrant exercise price after the redemption notice is issued.

Redemption of warrants when the price per share of VPCC Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds $10.00.

Once the warrants become exercisable, VPCC may redeem the outstanding warrants (except as described herein with respect to the Private Placement Warrants):

•

in whole and not in part;

•

at a price of $0.10 per warrant upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption provided that holders will be able to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis prior to redemption and receive that number of shares determined by reference to the table below, based on the redemption date and the “fair market value” (as defined below) of our Class A common stock except as otherwise described below;

•

if, and only if, the closing price of our Class A common stock equals or exceeds $10.00 per Public Share (as adjusted for adjustments to the number of shares issuable upon exercise or the exercise price of a warrant) for any 20 trading days within the 30-trading day period ending three trading days before we send the notice of redemption to the warrant holders; and

•

if the closing price of the Class A common stock for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which we send the notice of redemption to the warrant holders is less than $18.00 per share (as adjusted for adjustments to the number of shares issuable upon exercise or the exercise price of a warrant), the Private Placement Warrants must also be concurrently called for redemption on the same terms as the outstanding Public Warrants, as described above.

273

Beginning on the date the notice of redemption is given until the warrants are redeemed or exercised, holders may elect to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis. The numbers in the table below represent the number of shares of Class A common stock that a warrant holder will receive upon such cashless exercise in connection with a redemption by us pursuant to this redemption feature, based on the “fair market value” of our Class A common stock on the corresponding redemption date (assuming holders elect to exercise their warrants and such warrants are not redeemed for $0.10 per warrant), determined for these purposes based on volume weighted average price of our Class A common stock during the 10 trading days immediately following the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of warrants, and the number of months that the corresponding redemption date precedes the expiration date of the warrants, each as set forth in the table below. We will provide our warrant holders with the final fair market value no later than one business day after the 10-trading day period described above ends. Pursuant to the warrant agreement, references above to Class A common stock shall include a security other than Class A common stock into which the Class A common stock have been converted or exchanged for in the event we are not the surviving company in our initial business combination. The numbers in the table below will not be adjusted when determining the number of shares of Class A common stock to be issued upon exercise of the warrants if we are not the surviving entity following our initial business combination.

The exact fair market value and redemption date may not be set forth in the table above, in which case, if the fair market value is between two values in the table or the redemption date is between two redemption dates in the table, the number of shares of Class A common stock to be issued for each warrant exercised will be determined by a straight-line interpolation between the number of shares set forth for the higher and lower fair market values and the earlier and later redemption dates, as applicable, based on a 365 or 366-day year, as applicable. For example, if the volume weighted average price of our Class A common stock during the 10 trading days immediately following the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of the warrants is $11.00 per share, and at such time there are 57 months until the expiration of the warrants, holders may choose to, in connection with this redemption feature, exercise their warrants for 0.277 Class A common stock for each whole warrant. For an example where the exact fair market value and redemption date are not as set forth in the table above, if the volume weighted average price of our Class common stock during the 10 trading days immediately following the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of the warrants is $13.50 per share, and at such time there are 38 months until the expiration of the warrants, holders may choose to, in connection with this redemption feature, exercise their warrants for 0.298 Class A common stock for each whole warrant. In

274

no event will the warrants be exercisable on a cashless basis in connection with this redemption feature for more than 0.361 shares of Class A common stock per warrant (subject to adjustment). Finally, as reflected in the table above, if the warrants are out of the money and about to expire, they cannot be exercised on a cashless basis in connection with a redemption by us pursuant to this redemption feature, since they will not be exercisable for any shares of Class A common stock.

This redemption feature differs from the typical warrant redemption features used in many other blank check company offerings, which typically only provide for a redemption of warrants for cash (other than the private placement warrants) when the trading price for the Class A common stock exceeds $18.00 per share for a specified period of time. This redemption feature is structured to allow for all of the outstanding warrants to be redeemed when the Class A common stock are trading at or above $10.00 per share, which may be at a time when the trading price of our Class A common stock is below the exercise price of the warrants. We have established this redemption feature to provide us with the flexibility to redeem the warrants without the warrants having to reach the $18.00 per share threshold set forth above under “—Redemption of warrants when the price per share of Class A common stock equals or exceeds $18.00.” Holders choosing to exercise their warrants in connection with a redemption pursuant to this feature will, in effect, receive a number of shares for their warrants based on an option pricing model with a fixed volatility input as of the date of this prospectus. This redemption right provides us with an additional mechanism by which to redeem all of the outstanding warrants, and therefore have certainty as to our capital structure as the warrants would no longer be outstanding and would have been exercised or redeemed and we will be required to pay the applicable redemption price to warrant holders if we choose to exercise this redemption right and it will allow us to quickly proceed with a redemption of the warrants if we determine it is in our best interest to do so. As such, we would redeem the warrants in this manner when we believe it is in our best interest to update our capital structure to remove the warrants and pay the redemption price to the warrant holders.

As stated above, we can redeem the warrants when the Class A common stock are trading at a price starting at $10.00, which is below the exercise price of $11.50, because it will provide certainty with respect to our capital structure and cash position while providing warrant holders with the opportunity to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis for the applicable number of shares. If we choose to redeem the warrants when the Class A common stock are trading at a price below the exercise price of the warrants, this could result in the warrant holders receiving fewer Class A common stock than they would have received if they had chosen to wait to exercise their warrants for Class A common stock if and when such Class A common stock were trading at a price higher than the exercise price of $11.50.

No fractional Class A common stock will be issued upon exercise. If, upon exercise, a holder would be entitled to receive a fractional interest in a share, we will round down to the nearest whole number of the number of Class A common stock to be issued to the holder. If, at the time of redemption, the warrants are exercisable for a security other than the shares of Class A common stock pursuant to the warrant agreement (for instance, if we are not the surviving company in our initial business combination), the warrants may be exercised for such security. At such time as the warrants become exercisable for a security other than the Class A common stock, the Company (or surviving company) will use its commercially reasonable efforts to register under the Securities Act the security issuable upon exercise of the warrants.

A holder of a warrant may notify us in writing in the event it elects to be subject to a requirement that such holder will not have the right to exercise such warrant, to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise, such person (together with such person’s affiliates), to the warrant agent’s actual knowledge, would beneficially own in excess of 4.9% or 9.8% (or such other amount as a holder may specify) of the shares of Class A common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise.

If the number of outstanding shares of Class A common stock is increased by a capitalization or share dividend paid in Class A common stock to all or substantially all holders of Class A common stock, or by a split-up of common stock or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such capitalization or share dividend, split-up or similar event, the number of shares of Class A common stock issuable on exercise of each warrant will be

275

increased in proportion to such increase in the outstanding common stock. A rights offering made to all or substantially all holders of common stock entitling holders to purchase Class A common stock at a price less than the “historical fair market value” (as defined below) will be deemed a share dividend of a number of shares of Class A common stock equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of Class A common stock actually sold in such rights offering (or issuable under any other equity securities sold in such rights offering that are convertible into or exercisable for Class A common stock) and (ii) one minus the quotient of (x) the price per share of Class A common stock paid in such rights offering and (y) the historical fair market value. For these purposes, (i) if the rights offering is for securities convertible into or exercisable for Class A common stock, in determining the price payable for Class A common stock, there will be taken into account any consideration received for such rights, as well as any additional amount payable upon exercise or conversion and (ii) “historical fair market value” means the volume weighted average price of Class A Common stock as reported during the 10 trading day period ending on the trading day prior to the first date on which the Class A common stock trade on the applicable exchange or in the applicable market, regular way, without the right to receive such rights.

In addition, if we, at any time while the warrants are outstanding and unexpired, pay a dividend or make a distribution in cash, securities or other assets to all or substantially all of the holders of the Class A common stock on account of such Class A common stock (or other securities into which the warrants are convertible), other than (a) as described above, (b) any cash dividends or cash distributions which, when combined on a per share basis with all other cash dividends and cash distributions paid on the Class A common stock during the 365-day period ending on the date of declaration of such dividend or distribution does not exceed $0.50 (as adjusted to appropriately reflect any other adjustments and excluding cash dividends or cash distributions that resulted in an adjustment to the exercise price or to the number of shares of Class A common stock issuable on exercise of each warrant) but only with respect to the amount of the aggregate cash dividends or cash distributions equal to or less than $0.50 per share, (c) to satisfy the redemption rights of the holders of Class A common stock in connection with a proposed initial business combination, (d) to satisfy the redemption rights of the holders of Class A common stock in connection with a shareholder vote to amend our amended and restated certificate of incorporation (A) to modify the substance or timing of our obligation to provide holders of our Class A common stock the right to have their shares redeemed in connection with our initial business combination or to redeem 100% of our public shares if we do not complete our initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of this offering or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to the rights of holders of our Class A common stock, or (e) in connection with the redemption of our public shares upon our failure to complete our initial business combination, then the warrant exercise price will be decreased, effective immediately after the effective date of such event, by the amount of cash and/or the fair market value of any securities or other assets paid on each share of Class A common stock in respect of such event.

If the number of outstanding shares of VPCC’s Class A common stock is decreased by a consolidation, combination, reverse stock split or reclassification of shares of Class A common stock or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such consolidation, combination, reverse stock split, reclassification or similar event, the number of shares of Class A common stock issuable on exercise of each warrant will be decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding shares of Class A common stock.

Whenever the number of shares of Class A common stock purchasable upon the exercise of the warrants is adjusted, as described above, the warrant exercise price will be adjusted by multiplying the warrant exercise price immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction (x) the numerator of which will be the number of shares of Class A common stock purchasable upon the exercise of the warrants immediately prior to such adjustment, and (y) the denominator of which will be the number of shares of Class A common stock so purchasable immediately thereafter.

In addition, if (x) we issue additional shares of Class A common stock or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of our initial business combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per share (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by our board of directors and, in the case of any such issuance to our sponsor or its affiliates, without taking into account any founder shares held by our sponsor or such affiliates, as applicable, prior to such issuance) (the

276

“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 our initial business combination on the date of the consummation of our initial business combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of our Class A common stock during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which we consummate our initial business combination (such price, the “Market Value”) is below $9.20 per share, 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, the $18.00 per share redemption trigger price described above under “—Redemption of warrants when the price per share of Class A common stock equals or exceeds $18.00” will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 180% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, and the $10.00 per share redemption trigger price described above under “—Redemption of warrants when the price per share of Class A common stock equals or exceeds $10.00” will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price.

In case of any reclassification or reorganization of the outstanding Class A common stock (other than those described above or that solely affects the par value of such Class A common stock), or in the case of any merger or consolidation of us with or into another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which we are the continuing corporation and that does not result in any reclassification or reorganization of our issued and outstanding Class A common stock), or in the case of any sale or conveyance to another corporation or entity of the assets or other property of us as an entirety or substantially as an entirety in connection with which we are dissolved, the holders of the warrants will thereafter have the right to purchase and receive, upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified in the warrants and in lieu of the Class A common stock immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented thereby, the kind and amount of shares of Class A common stock or other securities or property (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, reorganization, merger or consolidation, or upon a dissolution following any such sale or transfer, that the holder of the warrants would have received if such holder had exercised their warrants immediately prior to such event. If less than 70% of the consideration receivable by the holders of Class A common stock in such a transaction is payable in the form of Class A common stock in the successor entity that is listed for trading on a national securities exchange or is quoted in an established over-the-counter market, or is to be so listed for trading or quoted immediately following such event, and if the registered holder of the warrant properly exercises the warrant within thirty days following public disclosure of such transaction, the warrant exercise price will be reduced as specified in the warrant agreement based on the Black-Scholes Warrant Value (as defined in the warrant agreement) of the warrant. The purpose of such exercise price reduction is to provide additional value to holders of the warrants when an extraordinary transaction occurs during the exercise period of the warrants pursuant to which the holders of the warrants otherwise do not receive the full potential value of the warrants.

The warrants will be issued in registered form under a warrant agreement between Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as warrant agent, and us. The warrant agreement provides that the terms of the warrants may be amended without the consent of any holder for the purpose of (i) curing any ambiguity or to correct any defective provision or mistake, including to conform the provisions of the warrant agreement to the description of the terms of the warrants and the warrant agreement set forth in this prospectus, (ii) adjusting the provisions relating to cash dividends on ordinary shares as contemplated by and in accordance with the warrant agreement or (iii) adding or changing any provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the warrant agreement as the parties to the warrant agreement may deem necessary or desirable and that the parties deem to not adversely affect the rights of the registered holders of the warrants, provided that the approval by the holders of at least 50% of the then-outstanding public warrants is required to make any change that adversely affects the interests of the registered holders of public warrants, and, solely with respect to any amendment to the terms of the private placement warrants, 50% of the then outstanding private placement warrants. You should review a copy of the warrant agreement, which is filed as an exhibit to the registration statement for a complete description of the terms and conditions applicable to the warrants.

The warrants may be exercised upon surrender of the warrant certificate on or prior to the expiration date at the offices of the warrant agent, with the exercise form on the reverse side of the warrant certificate completed and executed as indicated, accompanied by full payment of the exercise price (or on a cashless basis, if applicable),

277

by certified or official bank check payable to us, for the number of warrants being exercised. The warrant holders do not have the rights or privileges of holders of common stock and any voting rights until they exercise their warrants and receive Class A common stock. After the issuance of Class A common stock upon exercise of the warrants, each holder will be entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters to be voted on by stockholders. No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the warrants. If, upon exercise of the warrants, a holder would be entitled to receive a fractional interest in a share, VPCC will, upon exercise, round down to the nearest whole number of shares of Class A common stock to be issued to the warrantholder.

VPCC Private Placement Warrants

Except as described below, the Private Placement Warrants have terms and provisions that are identical to those of the warrants sold as part of the units in the IPO, including as to exercise price, exercisability and exercise period. The Private Placement Warrants (including the Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants) will not be transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of VPCC’s initial business combination (except, among other limited exceptions, to VPCC’s officers and directors and other persons or entities affiliated with VPCC’s sponsor). They will also be exercisable on a cashless basis and will not be redeemable by us so long as they are held by VPCC’s sponsor or its permitted transferees. VPCC’s sponsor or its permitted transferees, have the option to exercise the Private Placement Warrants on a cashless basis. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by holders other than the sponsor or its permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by us and exercisable by the holders on the same basis as the warrants included in the units sold in the IPO.

If holders of the Private Placement Warrants elect to exercise them on a cashless basis, they would surrender their warrants for that number of shares of Class A common stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of Class A common stock underlying the warrants, multiplied by the difference between the exercise price of the warrants and the “fair market value” (defined below) by (y) the fair market value. The “fair market value” shall mean the average reported last sale price of the Class A common stock for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of warrant exercise is sent to the warrant agent. The reason that we have agreed that these warrants will be exercisable on a cashless basis so long as they are held by the sponsor or its permitted transferees is because it is not known at this time whether they will be affiliated with us following an initial business combination. If they remain affiliated with us, their ability to sell VPCC’s securities in the open market will be significantly limited. We expect to have policies in place that prohibit insiders from selling VPCC’s securities except during specific periods of time. Even during such periods of time when insiders will be permitted to sell VPCC’s securities, an insider cannot trade in VPCC’s securities if he or she is in possession of material non-public information. Accordingly, unlike Public Stockholders who could sell the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants freely in the open market, the insiders could be significantly restricted from doing so. As a result, we believe that allowing the holders to exercise such warrants on a cashless basis is appropriate.

In order to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial business combination, VPCC’s sponsor or an affiliate of VPCC’s sponsor or certain of VPCC’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into units, at a price of $10.00 per Unit at the option of the lender, upon consummation of VPCC’s initial business combination. The units would be identical to the private placement units. However, as the units would not be issued until consummation of VPCC’s initial business combination, any warrants underlying such units would not be able to be voted on an amendment to the warrant agreement in connection with such business combination.

VPCC’s sponsor has agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of the Private Placement Warrants (including the Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of any of these warrants) until the date that is 30 days after the date we complete VPCC’s initial business combination, except, among other limited exceptions, transfers made to VPCC’s officers and directors and other persons or entities affiliated with VPCC’s sponsor.

278

Dividends

VPCC has not paid any cash dividends on its common stock to date and does not intend to pay cash dividends prior to the completion of an initial business combination. The payment of cash dividends in the future will be dependent upon VPCC’s revenues and earnings, if any, capital requirements and general financial conditions subsequent to completion of an initial business combination. The payment of any cash dividends subsequent to an initial business combination will be within the discretion of VPCC’s board of directors at such time. If VPCC incurs any indebtedness, VPCC’s ability to declare dividends may be limited by restrictive covenants VPCC may agree to in connection therewith.

Transfer Agent and Warrant Agent

The transfer agent for VPCC’s common stock and warrant agent for VPCC’s warrants is Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company. VPCC has agreed to indemnify Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company in its roles as transfer agent and warrant agent, its agents and each of its stockholders, directors, officers and employees against all claims and losses that may arise out of acts performed or omitted for its activities in that capacity, except for any liability due to any gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of the indemnified person or entity.

Certain Anti-Takeover Provisions of Delaware Law, Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws

Provisions of the DGCL and VPCC’s Existing Charter and bylaws as well as provisions of the Proposed Charter and proposed bylaws could make it more difficult to acquire VPCC (or the Combined Company, as applicable) by means of a tender offer, a proxy contest or otherwise, or to remove incumbent officers and directors. These provisions, summarized below, are intended to discourage coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids and to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of the Combined Company to first negotiate with the board of directors. VPCC believes that the benefits of these provisions outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging certain takeover or acquisition proposals because, among other things, negotiation of these proposals could result in an improvement of their terms and enhance the ability of the VPCC Board (or Combined Company board) to maximize stockholder value. However, these provisions may delay, deter or prevent a merger or acquisition of VPCC or the Combined Company that a stockholder might consider is in its best interest, including those attempts that might result in a premium over the prevailing market price of the VPCC or Combined Company Class A Common Stock , as applicable. The discussion below regarding VPCC is also applicable to the Combined Company and the Combined Company board.

Pursuant to the Existing Charter and the Proposed Charter, VPCC (or the Combined Company, as applicable) is subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the DGCL, which we refer to as “Section 203,” regulating corporate takeovers. Section 203 prevents certain Delaware corporations, under certain circumstances, from engaging in a “business combination” with:

•

A stockholder who owns fifteen percent (15%) or more of VPCC’s outstanding voting stock (otherwise known as an “interested stockholder”);

•

an affiliate of an interested stockholder; or

•

an associate of an interested stockholder, for three years following the date that the stockholder became an interested stockholder.

A “business combination” includes a merger or sale of more than ten percent (10%) of VPCC’s assets.

However, the above provisions of Section 203 do not apply if:

•

the VPCC Board approves the transaction that made the stockholder an “interested stockholder,” prior to the date of the transaction;

279

•

after the completion of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, that stockholder owned at least 85% of VPCC’s voting stock outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, other than statutorily excluded shares of common stock; or

•

on or subsequent to the date of the transaction, the Business Combination is approved by the VPCC Board and authorized at a meeting of VPCC Stockholder, and not by written consent, by an affirmative vote of two-thirds of the outstanding voting stock not owned by the interested stockholder.

In addition, both VPCC’s Existing Charter and the Proposed Charter provide for certain other provisions that may have an anti-takeover effect:

•

a classified board of directors whose members serve staggered three-year terms;

•

a limitation on the ability of, and providing indemnification to, our directors and officers;

•

a requirement that special meetings of our stockholders can be called only by the VPCC Board acting by a written resolution by a majority the Combined Company’s directors then in office), the Chairperson of the Combined Company’s board of directors, the Combined Company’s Chief Executive Officer or our Lead Independent Director;

•

a requirement that our directors may be removed only for cause and by a two-thirds (2/3) vote of the stockholders;

•

a prohibition on stockholder action by written consent;

•

a requirement that vacancies on the VPCC Board may be filled only by a majority of directors then in office or by a sole remaining director (subject to limited exceptions), even though less than a quorum; and

•

a requirement of the approval of the Combined Company board of directors or the holders of at least two-thirds of our outstanding shares of capital stock to amend the Combined Company Amended and Restated Bylaws and certain provisions of the Proposed Charter.

Registration Rights

Listing of Securities

Upon the Closing, VPCC intends to apply to list its publicly traded Combined Company Class A Common Stock and the Public Warrants on Nasdaq under the symbols “DAVE” and “DAVEW” upon the Closing. As a result, our publicly traded units will separate into the component securities upon the Closing and, as a result, will no longer trade as a separate security.

280

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

The following table sets forth information regarding (i) the actual beneficial ownership of VPCC Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock as of August 31, 2021, and (ii) expected beneficial ownership of Combined Company Common Stock immediately following the Closing of the below-listed individuals and/or entities, assuming, alternatively, (x) no VPCC Share Redemptions (i.e., in the no redemption scenario) and (y) all Public Shares are elected to be redeemed by VPCC Stockholders, which would equal the maximum number of VPCC Share Redemptions that could occur without a failure to satisfy the minimum cash condition set forth in the Merger Agreement (i.e., in the maximum redemption scenario):

•

each person who is, or is expected to be, the beneficial owner of more than five percent (5%) of the outstanding shares of VPCC Common Stock or Combined Company Common Stock;

•

each of VPCC’s current executive officers and directors;

•

each person who will become an executive officer or director of the Combined Company upon the Closing; and

•

all current executive officers and directors of VPCC, as a group, and all executive officers and directors of the Combined Company following the Closing, as a group.

Beneficial ownership is determined according to the rules of the SEC, which generally provide that a person has beneficial ownership of a security if he, she or it possesses sole or shared voting or investment power over that security, including options and warrants that are currently exercisable within 60 days. In computing the number of shares beneficially owned by a person and the percentage ownership of that person, shares subject to options and warrants held by that person that are currently exercisable, or will become exercisable within 60 days of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus are deemed outstanding, while such shares are not deemed outstanding for purposes of computing percentage ownership of any other person.

The beneficial ownership of shares of VPCC Common Stock pre-Business Combination is based on 31,720,748 shares of VPCC Common Stock (including 25,376,598 shares of VPCC Class A Common Stock and 6,344,150 Founder Shares) issued and outstanding as of August 31, 2021.

The expected beneficial ownership of shares of Combined Company Common Stock post-Business Combination assuming each of the no redemption scenario and the maximum redemption scenario (a) include the 1,586,037 shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock representing the Founder Holder Earnout Shares, and (b) assume (1) (x) in the case of the no redemption scenario, no Public Shares are elected to be redeemed by VPCC Stockholders and (y) in the case of the maximum redemption scenario, all Public Shares are elected to be redeemed by VPCC Stockholders, (2) the issuance of 21,000,000 shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock to the PIPE Investors in the PIPE Investment, for aggregate gross proceeds of $210,000,000, (3) the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Founder Holder Agreement, on the basis of the assumptions set forth in clause (b) hereof with respect to the PIPE Investment and VPCC Share Redemptions, resulting in the surrender (x) in the case of the no redemption scenario, of no shares of VPCC Class B Common Stock and (y) in the case of the maximum redemption scenario, of 951,622 shares of VPCC Class B Common Stock, (4) that immediately after the Closing, the total number of shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock outstanding will be equal to (x) in the case of the no redemption scenario, approximately 319,293,816 and (y) in the case of the maximum redemption scenario, approximately 294,165,596, (5) that immediately after the Closing, the total number of shares of Combined Company Class V Common Stock outstanding will be equal to (x) in the case of the no redemption scenario, approximately 71,080,593 and (y) in the case of the maximum redemption scenario, approximately 75,880,593, and (6) the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Repurchase Agreement, on the basis of the assumptions set forth in clause (b) hereof with respect to the VPCC Share Redemptions, resulting in the repurchase (x) in the case of the no redemption scenario, of 6,000,000 shares of Combined Company Common Stock pursuant to the Repurchase Agreement immediately following the Closing and (y) in the case of the maximum redemption scenario, of no shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock pursuant to the

281

Repurchase Agreement. In the event that the parties consummate the Business Combination, VPCC estimates the number of shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock potentially issuable as of the Closing as consideration to Dave Interest Holders (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, shares underlying the Rollover Options) to be equal to 267,773,068 (1,200,000 of which would immediately be repurchased by VPCC in the no redemption scenario pursuant to the Repurchase Agreement).

If the actual facts are different from the foregoing assumptions, ownership figures in the Combined Company and the columns under Post-Business Combination in the following table will be different.

The following table does not reflect record of beneficial ownership of any shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of Public Warrants or Private Placement Warrants, as such securities are not exercisable or convertible within 60 days of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of

VPC Impact Acquisition Holdings III, Inc.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of VPC Impact Acquisition Holdings III, Inc. (the “Company”) as of January 22, 2021, and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the period from January 14, 2021 (inception) through January 22, 2021, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of January 22, 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period from January 14, 2021 (inception) through January 22, 2021, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (the “PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

/s/ WithumSmith+Brown, PC

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2021.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1—Description of Organization, Business Operations and Basis of Presentation

VPC Impact Acquisition Holdings III, Inc. (the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated in Delaware on January 22, 2021. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”). The Company is an emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with emerging growth companies.

As of January 22, 2021, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from January 14, 2021 (inception) through January 22, 2021 relates to the Company’s formation and the proposed initial public offering described below. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents from the proceeds derived from the Proposed Public Offering (as defined below). The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.

The Company’s ability to commence operations is contingent upon obtaining adequate financial resources through a proposed public offering (the “Proposed Public Offering”) of 22,500,000 units (each, a “Unit” and collectively, the “Units”) at $10.00 per Unit (or 25,875,000 units if the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised in full), which is discussed in Note 3, and the sale of 4,716,667 warrants (or 5,166,667 warrants if the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised in full) (each, a “Private Placement Warrant” and collectively, the “Private Placement Warrants”), at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant in a private placement to VPC Impact Acquisition Holdings Sponsor III, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”) that will close simultaneously with the Proposed Public Offering (see Note 4).

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Proposed Public Offering and the sale of Private Placement Warrants, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to complete a Business Combination successfully. The Company must complete one or more initial Business Combinations having an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the net assets held in the Trust Account (as defined below) (net of amounts disbursed to management for working capital purposes, if permitted, and excluding the amount of any deferred underwriting commissions) at the time of the agreement to enter into the initial Business Combination. However, the Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the 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”). Upon the closing of the Proposed Public Offering, management has agreed that an amount equal to at least $10.00 per Unit sold in the Proposed Public Offering, including the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants to the Sponsor, will be held in a trust account (“Trust Account”) located in the United States, and invested only in United States “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act having a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account as described below.

The Company will provide the holders (the “Public Stockholders”) of the Company’s outstanding shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, sold in the Proposed Public Offering (the “Public Shares”) 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

F-7

VPC IMPACT ACQUISITION HOLDINGS III, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Public Stockholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then held in the Trust Account (initially anticipated to be $10.00 per Public Share). The per-share amount to be distributed to Public Stockholders who redeem their Public Shares will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting commissions the Company will pay to the underwriters (as discussed in Note 5). There will be no redemption rights upon the completion of a Business Combination with respect to the Company’s warrants. The Public Shares will be recorded at redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the Proposed Public Offering in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” The Company will proceed with a Business Combination if a majority of the shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination. The Company will not redeem the Public Shares in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001. 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 Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”), conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and file tender offer documents with the SEC 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. Additionally, each public stockholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed transaction. If the Company seeks stockholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, the initial stockholders (as defined below) have agreed to vote their Founder Shares (as defined below in Note 4) and any Public Shares purchased during or after the Proposed Public Offering in favor of a Business Combination. In addition, the initial stockholders have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares and Public Shares in connection with the completion of a Business Combination.

The Certificate of Incorporation will provide 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 and directors (the “initial stockholders”) have agreed not to propose an amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with the Company’s initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of the Public Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period (as defined below) or with respect to any other material provisions relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity, unless the Company provides the Public Stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares in conjunction with any such amendment.

If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Proposed Public Offering (the “Combination Period”), the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Public Stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining stockholders and our board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to our obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

F-8

VPC IMPACT ACQUISITION HOLDINGS III, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The initial stockholders have agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to the Founder Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if the initial stockholders acquire Public Shares in or after the Proposed Public Offering, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such Public Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. The underwriters have agreed to waive their rights to the deferred underwriting commission (see Note 5) held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within in 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 residual assets remaining available for distribution (including Trust Account assets) will be only $10.00. In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed to be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party (except for the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm) for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has entered into a letter of intent, confidentiality or other similar agreement or business combination agreement (a “Target”), reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.00 per Public Share and (ii) the actual amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, if less than $10.00 per Public Share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, less taxes payable, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or Target that executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the Trust Account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) not will it apply to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the Proposed Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). 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 (except for the Company’s Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm), prospective target businesses or other entities with which the Company does business, execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC.

The Company does not have sufficient liquidity to meet its anticipated obligations over the next year from the date of issuance of these financial statements. In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” management has determined that the Company has access to funds from the Sponsor and the Sponsor has the financial wherewithal to provide such funds that are sufficient to fund the working capital needs of the Company until the earlier of the consummation of the Proposed Public Offering or one year from the date of issuance of these financial statements.

Emerging Growth Company

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

F-9

VPC IMPACT ACQUISITION HOLDINGS III, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such an election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company that is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company that has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period.

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

Deferred Offering Costs

Deferred offering costs consist of legal, accounting and other costs incurred through the balance sheet date that are directly related to the Proposed Public Offering and that will be charged to stockholders’ equity upon the completion of the Proposed Public Offering. Should the Proposed Public Offering prove to be unsuccessful, these deferred costs, as well as additional expenses to be incurred, will be charged to operations.

Net Loss Per Common Share

Net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, excluding common stock subject to forfeiture. Weighted average shares at January 22, 2021 were reduced for the effect of an aggregate of 843,750 shares of common stock that are subject to forfeiture if the over-allotment option is not exercised in full or in part by the underwriters (see Note 5). At January 22, 2021, the Company did not have any dilutive securities and other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into shares of common stock and then share in the earnings of the Company. As a result, diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss per share for the period presented.

Income Taxes

The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences

attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Deferred tax assets were deemed to be de minimis as of January 22, 2021.

ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for the interest and penalties as of January 22, 2021. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position. The Company is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception.

The provision for income taxes was deemed to be de minimis for the period from January 14, 2021 (inception) through January 22, 2021.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurement,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the balance sheet, primarily due to their short-term nature.

Recent Accounting Standards

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

Note 3—Proposed Public Offering

Pursuant to the Proposed Public Offering, the Company will offer for sale 22,500,000 units (or 25,875,000 Units if the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised in full at a price of $10.00 per Unit. Each Unit will consist of one share of Class A common stock, and one-fourth of one redeemable warrant (each, a “Public Warrant”). Each Public Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment (see Note 6).

Note 4—Related Party Transactions

Founder Shares

On January 19, 2021, the Sponsor paid $25,000 to cover certain offering and formation costs of the Company in consideration for 6,468,750 shares of Class B common stock (the “Founder Shares”). On January 22, 2021, the Sponsor transferred an aggregate of 60,000 Founder Shares to members of the Company’s board of directors, resulting in the Sponsor holding 6,408,750 Founder Shares. The Founder Shares include an aggregate of up to 843,750 shares that are subject to forfeiture depending on the extent to which the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised, so that the number of Founder Shares will equal, on an as-converted basis, approximately 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock after the Proposed Public Offering.

VPC IMPACT ACQUISITION HOLDINGS III, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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

Private Placement Warrants

The Sponsor has agreed to purchase an aggregate of 4,716,667 Private Placement Warrants (or 5,166,667 Private Placement Warrants if the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised in full), at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant ($7,075,000 in the aggregate, or $7,750,000 if the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised in full) in a private placement that will occur simultaneously with the closing of the Proposed Public Offering. Each whole Private Placement Warrant will be exercisable for one whole share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants to the Sponsor will be added to the proceeds from the Proposed Public Offering to be held in the Trust Account. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless.

Promissory Note—Related Party

On January 14, 2021, the Sponsor issued an unsecured promissory note to the Company (the “Promissory Note”), pursuant to which the Company may borrow up to an aggregate principal amount of $300,000. The Promissory Note is non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of December 31, 2021 or the completion of the Proposed Public Offering. As of January 22, 2021, and through the date of filing, the Company has not borrowed any amount under the Note.

Related Party Loans

In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company would repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. Otherwise, the Working Capital Loans would be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. Except for the foregoing, the terms of such Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. The Working Capital Loans would either be repaid upon consummation of a Business Combination or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into warrants of the post Business Combination entity at a price of $1.50 per warrant. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. As of January 22, 2021, the Company had no borrowings under the Working Capital Loans.

Administrative Services Agreement

The Company will enter into an agreement that will provide that, commencing on the date that the Company’s securities are first listed on New York Stock Exchange and continuing until the earlier of the

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Company’s consummation of a Business Combination and the Company’s liquidation, the Company will pay the Sponsor a total of $10,000 per month for office space, utilities, secretarial and administrative support services provided to members of the Company’s management team.

Note 5—Commitments and Contingencies

Registration Rights

The holders of Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans, if any, (and any shares of Class A common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans) will be entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement to be signed prior to the consummation of the Proposed Public Offering. These holders will be entitled to certain demand and “piggyback” registration rights. The registration rights agreement does not contain liquidated damages or other cash settlement provisions resulting from delays in registering the Company’s securities. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Underwriting Agreement

The Company will grant the underwriters a 45-day option from the date of Proposed Public Offering to purchase up to 3,375,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments, if any, at the Proposed Public Offering price, less the underwriting discounts and commissions.

The underwriters will be entitled to an underwriting discount of $0.20 per Unit, or $4,500,000 in the aggregate (or $5,175,000 in the aggregate if the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised in full), payable upon the closing of the Proposed Public Offering. In addition, $0.35 per Unit, or $7,875,000 in the aggregate (or $9,056,250 in the aggregate if the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised in full) will be payable to the underwriters for deferred underwriting commissions. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completes a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

Risks and Uncertainties

Management continues to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the virus could have a negative effect on the Company’s financial position, results of its operations, close of the Proposed Public Offering and/or search for a target company, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of these financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Note 6—Stockholders’ Equity

Preferred Stock—The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share, with such designations, voting and other rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Company’s board of directors. As of January 22, 2021, there were no shares of preferred stock issued or outstanding.

Class A Common Stock—The Company is authorized to issue 200,000,000 shares of Class A common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. As of January 22, 2021, there were no shares of Class A common stock issued or outstanding.

F-13

VPC IMPACT ACQUISITION HOLDINGS III, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Class B Common Stock—The Company is authorized to issue 20,000,000 shares of Class B common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. As of January 22, 2021 there were 6,468,750 shares of Class B common stock issued and outstanding, of which an aggregate of up to 843,750 shares are subject to forfeiture, to the extent that the underwriter’s over-allotment option is not exercised in full or in part, so that the initial stockholders will collectively own 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock after the Proposed Public Offering.

The Class B common stock will automatically convert into Class A common stock concurrently with or immediately following the consummation of the initial Business Combination on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like, and subject to further adjustment as provided herein. In the case that additional shares of Class A common stock or equity-linked securities are issued or deemed issued in connection with the initial Business Combination, the number of shares of Class A common stock issuable upon conversion of all Founder Shares will equal, in the aggregate, on an as-converted basis, 20% of the total number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding after such conversion (after giving effect to any redemptions of shares of Class A common stock by Public Stockholders), including the total number of shares of Class A common stock issued, or deemed issued or issuable upon conversion or exercise of any equity-linked securities or rights issued or deemed issued, by the Company in connection with or in relation to the consummation of the initial Business Combination, excluding any shares of Class A common stock or equity-linked securities or rights exercisable for or convertible into shares of Class A common stock issued, or to be issued, to any seller in the initial Business Combination and any Private Placement Warrants issued to the Sponsor, officers or directors upon conversion of Working Capital Loans, provided that such conversion of Founder Shares will never occur on a less than one-for-one basis.

Warrants—Public Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares. No fractional Public Warrants will be issued upon separation of the Units and only whole Public 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 Proposed Public Offering; provided in each case that the Company has an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants and a current prospectus relating to them is available (or the Company permits holders to exercise their Public Warrants on a cashless basis and such cashless exercise is exempt from registration under the Securities Act).

The Company has agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15 business days after the closing of the initial Business Combination, the Company will use its best efforts to file with the SEC and have an effective registration statement covering the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants and to maintain a current prospectus relating to those shares of Class A common stock until the warrants expire or are redeemed. If a registration statement covering the Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective by the 60th business day after the closing of the initial Business Combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company will have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act or another exemption. Notwithstanding the above, if the Company’s shares of Class A common stock are at the time of any exercise of a warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that they satisfy the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, the Company may, at its option, require holders of Public Warrants who exercise their warrants to do so on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event the Company so elects, it will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, and in the

F-14

VPC IMPACT ACQUISITION HOLDINGS III, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

event the Company does not so elect, it will use its best efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available. The warrants have an exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustments and will expire five years after the completion of a Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

Redemption of warrants when the price per share of Class A common stock equals or exceeds $18.00:

Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding warrants for cash:

•

in whole and not in part;

•

at a price of $0.01 per warrant;

•

upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption; and

•

if, and only if, the closing price of Class A common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.

The Company will not redeem the warrants as described above unless an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is effective and a current prospectus relating to those shares of Class A common stock is available throughout the 30-day redemption period.

Redemption of warrants for when the price per share of Class A common stock equals or exceeds $10.00:

Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding warrants:

•

in whole and not in part;

•

at $0.10 per warrant upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption provided that holders will be able to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis prior to redemption and receive that number of shares determined by reference to an agreed table based on the redemption date and the “fair market value” (as defined below) of the Class A common stock; and

•

if, and only if, the closing price of Class A common stock equals or exceeds $10.00 per Public Share (as adjusted) for any 20 trading days within the 30-trading day period ending three trading days before the Company sends notice of redemption to the warrant holders.

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 Class A 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, except as described below, the warrants will not be adjusted for issuance of Class A 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 shares of Class A common stock or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of the initial Business Combination at an issue price or

F-15

VPC IMPACT ACQUISITION HOLDINGS III, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

effective issue price of less than $9.20 per share of Class A common stock (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by the board of directors and, in the case of any such issuance to the initial stockholders or their affiliates, without taking into account any Founder Shares held by the initial stockholders 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 the initial Business Combination on the date of the consummation of the initial Business Combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of the Class A common stock during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which the Company consummates its initial Business Combination (such price, the “Market Value”) is below $9.20 per share, 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, 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, and the $10.00 per share redemption trigger price will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price.

The Private Placement Warrants will be identical to the Public Warrants, except that the Private Placement Warrants and the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants will not be transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions. Additionally, the Private Placement Warrants will be non-redeemable so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by someone other than the Sponsor or its permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants.

Note 7—Subsequent Events

The Company evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date up to January 29, 2021, the date that the financial statements were available to be issued. Based upon this review, the Company did not identify any subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.

On January 22, 2021, the Sponsor transferred an aggregate of 60,000 Founder Shares to director nominees of the Company’s board of directors, resulting in the Sponsor holding 6,408,750 Founder Shares.

Note 1 Business and Basis of Presentation

Business

Dave Inc. (the “Company” or “Dave”) is a Delaware corporation formed in October 2015 and headquartered in Los Angeles, California. The Company’s business is to provide its members (“Members”) a suite of financial software and services related to personal finance. In December 2020, the Company formed Dave OD Funding I, LLC (“Dave OD”), a Delaware LLC, and wholly owned subsidiary of Dave Inc. All operating activities, revenues earned, and expenses incurred were generated in the United States of America.

On June 7, 2021, the Company announced it has entered into a definitive agreement for a business combination with VPC Impact Acquisition Holdings III, Inc. (NYSE: VPCC) (“VPCC”), a special purpose acquisition company sponsored by Victory Park Capital, which is an affiliate of Victory Park Management, LLC. The business combination will result in Dave becoming a publicly traded company listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the ticker symbol “DAVE”.

The proposed business combination has been unanimously approved by the Boards of Directors of the Company and VPCC, and is subject to approval by VPCC’s stockholders, regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions. The business combination is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2021.

Dave’s Personal Financial Management Service

Dave’s personal financial management service enables Members to monitor their bank account balances to avoid overdraft fees and build budgets to assist in short-term financial planning. When a Member signs up for the Company’s mobile application, Dave connects to the Member’s checking account and then monitors and analyzes the Member’s typical spending and saving behavior. Based on this analysis, Dave identifies upcoming expenses, such as a car or rent payment, and likely future spending based on historical spending habits which enables Members to more effectively manage their finances. The Members are charged a $1 monthly fee for this software monitoring service.

Dave’s Advance Service

Many of Dave’s Members are at risk of having liquidity shortfalls before they receive their next paycheck. To help these Members avoid incurring costly overdraft fees, Dave offers them the ability to obtain a non-recourse cash advance of up to $200 (an “Advance”).

Members need not pay a fee to obtain an Advance, as Members can always obtain Advances via ACH for free, which generally arrive within three business days. However, many Members choose to pay an optional instant transfer fee to obtain the Advance within eight hours. Members may also choose to pay a voluntary tip to compensate the Company for use of its Advance service.

Dave’s Job Portal Service

As an additional tool to help prevent overdrafting and improve cash flow, Dave helps connect Members to open local jobs. Dave’s job portal service, referred to as “Side Hustle,” enables Members to view potential opportunities for supplemental work, primarily in flexible, part-time roles. Side Hustle allows Members to submit applications to a repository of job openings with various partner companies, which include various ride share platforms and food delivery companies. Dave generates referral fees from partner companies for facilitating contacts between them and the application’s Members.

Dave’s Checking Product

Dave offers a free, no minimum, no overdraft-fee mobile checking account to its Members in partnership with a federally insured banking institution. Members can fund their accounts with direct deposit from their payroll or make manual cash and electronic deposits, spend via a debit card, access ATMs and transfer funds between accounts at other banks and to third parties online, all through Dave’s mobile application. Other industry-first features include automated budgeting, advances, access to the Company’s exclusive job board, and the ability to build credit with on-time rent payments.

Basis of Presentation

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and are unaudited.

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all disclosures that are normally included in annual audited financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020, has been derived from the Company’s annual audited consolidated financial statements.

In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial Statements contain all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of its financial position as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, its results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. The unaudited condensed financial statements at December 31, 2020, have been derived from the Company’s annual audited consolidated financial statements, but does not contain all of the footnote disclosures from the Company’s annual audited consolidated financial statements.

Principles of Consolidation

The Company consolidates financial statements of all entities in which the Company has a controlling financial interest, including the accounts of any Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”) in which the Company has a controlling financial interest and for which it is the primary beneficiary. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Variable Interest Entities

The Company is considered the primary beneficiary of Dave OD, as it has the power over the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of Dave OD and has the obligation to absorb expected losses and the right to receive expected benefits that could be significant, in accordance with accounting guidance. As a result, the Company consolidated Dave OD and all intercompany accounts have been eliminated.

Note 2 Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported revenues and expenses incurred during the reporting periods. The Company’s estimates are based on its historical experience and on various other factors that the Company believes are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The Company’s critical accounting estimates and assumptions are evaluated on an ongoing basis including those related to the: (i) allowance for unrecoverable advances; (ii) realization of tax assets and estimates of tax liabilities; (iii) valuation of equity securities; (iv) fair value of derivatives; and (v) valuation of warrant liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Revenue Recognition

Service-Based Revenue, Net:

Service-based revenue, net primarily consists of tips, express processing fees, and subscriptions charged to Members, net of processor costs associated with advance disbursements. Member advances are treated as financial receivables under ASC 310 Receivables (“ASC 310”).

The Company encourages but does not contractually require its Members who receive a cash advance to leave a discretionary tip. The Company treats tips as an adjustment of yield to the advances and are recognized over the average term of advances.

Express processing fees apply when a Member requests an expedited cash advance. At the Member’s election, the Company expedites the funding of advance funds within eight hours, as opposed to the customary three business days, of the advance request. Express fees are nonrefundable loan origination fees and are recognized as revenues over the expected contractual term of the advance.

F-23

Dave Inc.

Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Costs incurred by the Company to fund cash advances are treated as direct loan origination costs. These direct loan origination costs are netted against advance-related income over the expected contractual term of the advance. Direct origination costs recognized as a reduction of advance-related income during the periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, was $1.8 million and $1.6 million, respectively.

The Company accounts for subscriptions in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). Under ASC 606, the Company must identify the contract with a Member, identify the performance obligations in the contract, determine the transaction price, allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies the performance obligations. The Company’s primary sources of revenue are derived from fees earned on advances, and other financial instruments that are not within the scope of ASC 606. The Company has evaluated the nature of its contracts with Members and determined that further disaggregation of revenue from contracts with Members into categories beyond what is presented in the condensed consolidated statements of operations was not necessary. For revenue sources that are within the scope of Topic 606, the Company fully satisfies its performance obligations and recognizes revenue in the period it is earned as services are rendered. Transaction prices are typically fixed, charged on a periodic basis or based on activity. Because performance obligations are satisfied as services are rendered and the transaction prices are fixed, there is little judgment involved in applying ASC 606 that significantly affects the determination of the amount and timing of revenue from contracts with the Company’s Members. Sources of revenue from contracts with Members that are in the scope of ASC 606 include subscription fees, lead generation fees and reward program fees.

Subscription fees of $1 are received on a monthly basis from Members who subscribe to the Company’s application. The Company continually fulfills its obligation to each Member over the subscription term. The series of distinct services represents a single performance obligation that is satisfied over time. The Company recognizes revenue ratably as the Member receives and consumes the benefits of the platform throughout the contract period.

Price concessions granted to Members who have insufficient funds when subscription fees are due are forms of variable consideration under the Company’s contracts with Members. For price concessions, the Company has elected, as an accounting policy, to account for price concessions for the month at the end of the reporting month based on the actual amount of concessions granted as the impact.

Service-based revenue also consists of lead generation fees from the Company’s Side Hustle advertising partners. The Company is entitled to receive these lead generation fees when Members of the application sign up for jobs with the Company’s various partners. Lead generation contracts contain a single performance obligation. Lead generation revenue is recognized at a point in time upon satisfaction and completion of the single performance obligation. The Company also receives cash monthly as part of a rewards program for those Dave debit card Members who choose to spend funds with selected vendors. The cash received by the Company is recorded as unearned revenue and recognized into revenue as the subscription credits are earned by the Members.

Transaction-Based Revenue, Net:

Transaction-based revenue, net primarily consists of interchange and ATM revenues from Dave’s Checking Product, net of ATM-related fees, and are recognized at the point in time the transactions occur, as the performance obligation is satisfied. ATM-related fees recognized as a reduction of transaction-based revenue during the periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, was $0.4 million and $8 thousand, respectively.

Member Advances

Member advances include non-recourse cash advances, fees, and tips net of certain direct origination costs and allowance for unrecoverable advances. Management’s intent is to hold advances until maturity or payoff. Members’ cash advances are treated as financial receivables under ASC 310.

F-24

Dave Inc.

Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Advances to Members are not interest bearing. The Company recognizes these advances at face value and does not use discounting techniques to determine present value of advances due to their short-term average maturity. The consequent discount impact under the imputed interest rate method does not result in a significant impact to the financial statements.

The Company considers advances over 120 days past due or which become uncollectible based on information available to the Company as impaired. All advances over 120 days past due are deemed uncollectible and subsequently written-off. Subsequent recoveries of Member advances written-off, if any, are recorded as a reduction to the provision for unrecoverable advances expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations when collected.

The Company does not provide modifications to advances.

Allowance for Unrecoverable Advances

The Company maintains an allowance for unrecoverable advances at a level estimated to be adequate to absorb credit losses inherent in the outstanding Member advances. The Company considers an advance to be impaired when it is probable that it will not be able to recover all amounts due according to its contractual terms. Management estimates the allowance balance required using loss experience, cash recovery patterns, the nature and volume of the portfolio, economic conditions, and other factors. Interpretations of past cash recovery patterns and projections of future economic conditions involve a high degree of subjectivity. Increases are created by recording a provision for unrecoverable advances in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Internally Developed Software

Internally developed software is capitalized when preliminary development efforts are successfully completed, management has authorized and committed project funding, it is probable that the project will be completed, and the software will be used as intended. Capitalized costs consist of salaries and other compensation costs for employees incurred for time spent on upgrades and enhancements to add functionality to the software and fees paid to third-party consultants who are directly involved in development efforts. These capitalized costs are included on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as intangible assets, net. Other costs are expensed as incurred and included within Other general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Capitalized costs for the six-month period ended June 30, 2021 was approximately $2.3 million.

Amortization of internally developed software commences when the software is ready for its intended use (i.e., after all substantial testing is complete). Internally developed software is amortized over its estimated useful life of 3 years. Amortization expense for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, was approximately $1.2 million and $0.7 million, respectively.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Dave Inc.

Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

price for the asset or pay the lowest price to settle the liability, after considering transaction costs. However, when using the most advantageous market, transaction costs are only considered to determine which market is the most advantageous and these costs are then excluded when applying a fair value measurement. ASC 820 creates a three-level hierarchy to prioritize the inputs used in the valuation techniques to derive fair values. The basis for fair value measurements for each level within the hierarchy is described below, with Level 1 having the highest priority and Level 3 having the lowest.

Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2—Observable inputs other than Level 1 quoted prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar assets and liabilities, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3—Valuations are based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement of the assets or liabilities. Inputs reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Consideration is given to the risk inherent in the valuation technique and the risk inherent in the inputs to the model.

Following are the major categories of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1), significant other observable inputs (Level 2), and significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) (in thousands):


June 30, 2021	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Assets

Derivative asset on loans to stockholders		—		—		457		457

Total assets	$	17,666	$	—	$	457	$	18,123

The Company had no assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

The Company also has financial instruments not measured at fair value. The Company has evaluated cash and cash equivalents, Member advances, net, restricted cash, accounts payable, and accrued expenses, and believes the carrying value approximates the fair value due to the short-term nature of these balances. The fair value of the debt facility, convertible debt and line of credit approximate their carrying values.

Marketable Securities:

F-26

Dave Inc.

Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

fluctuations. The fair value measurements for the securities are based upon the quoted prices of similar items in active markets multiplied by the number of securities owned.

Derivative Asset Related to Loans to Stockholders:

In relation to certain loans to stockholders, the Company purchased call options which grant the Company the right to acquire a fixed number of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.000001 per share (“Common Stock”), held by such stockholders over the exercise period (four years). However, the exercise price per share is not fixed. The approximate $3.273 exercise price per share increases by a nominal amount of approximately $0.005 for each month that lapses from the call option issuance date. As of June 30, 2021, the exercise price per share was approximately $3.392. The Company understands that this variability in the exercise price of the call option is tied to the passage of time, which is not an input to the fair value of the Company’s shares per ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). Therefore, the Company does not believe the call option meets the scope exception under ASC 815. As the scope exception is not met, the call option is accounted for as a derivative instrument. Accordingly, the call option is measured at fair value and presented as a derivative asset on loans to stockholders on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. Interest earned on the non-recourse promissory notes will be reported as interest income and changes in the fair value of the call option will be reported as other income or expense in the period incurred. The call option is measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period with change in fair value recorded in earnings. The fair value of the call option as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, was approximately $24.5 million and $0.5 million, respectively.

A roll-forward of the Level 3 derivative asset on loans to stockholders is as follows (dollars in thousands):


Ending value at December 31, 2019	$	457
Change in fair value during the period		—

Ending value at December 31, 2020		457
Change in fair value during the period		24,042

Ending value at June 30, 2021	$	24,499

The Company used a probability-weighted expected return method (“PWERM”) to weight the indicated call options value determined under the binomial option pricing model to determine the fair value of the call options. The following table presents the assumptions used to value the call options for the period ended June 30, 2021:


Expected volatility		57.0%
Risk-free interest rate		0.0 - 0.2%
Remaining term		0.2 - 1.9 Years

Warrant Liability Related to Debt Facility:

As discussed further in Note 6, in January 2021, the Company issued warrants contemporaneously with a debt facility that met the definition of a derivative under ASC 815. This warrant liability was initially recorded as a liability at fair value, with the offsetting entry recorded as a loan commitment fees asset. The derivative liability was subsequently recorded at fair value at each reporting period, with changes in fair value reflected in earnings. The loss related to the change in fair value of the warrant liability in the six months ended June 30, 2021 was $2.9 million, which is presented within changes in fair value of warrant liability in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Initial fair value at the original issuance date		106
Change in fair value during the period		2,866

The Company used a PWERM to weight the indicated warrant liability value determined under the binomial option pricing model to determine the fair value of the warrant liability. The following table presents the assumptions used to value the warrant liability for the period ended June 30, 2021:


Expected volatility		57.0 - 57.5%
Risk-free interest rate		0.0 - 0.2%
Remaining term		0.2 - 1.9 Years

There were no other assets or liabilities that were required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

Fair Value of Common Stock

The Company is required to estimate the fair value of the Common Stock underlying the Company’s share-based awards. The fair value of the Common Stock underlying the Company’s stock-based awards has been determined, in each case, based on a valuation model as discussed further below, and was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors. The Company’s Board of Directors intends all stock options granted to be exercisable at a price per share not less than the fair value per share of the ordinary share underlying those stock options on the date of grant.

In the absence of a public market for the Common Stock, the valuation of the Common Stock has been determined using a market approach and subject company transaction method. The allocation of equity value was determined using the option pricing method. The valuation was performed in accordance with the guidelines outlined in the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Practice Guide, Valuation of Privately Held Company Equity Securities Issued as Compensation.

The Company considered various objective and subjective factors to determine the fair value of its Common Stock as of each grant date, including:

•

Historical financial performance;

•

The Company’s business strategy;

•

Industry information, such as external market conditions and trends;

•

Lack of marketability of the Common Stock;

•

Likelihood of achieving a liquidity event, such as an initial public offering, special-purpose acquisition company (“SPAC”) merger, or strategic sale given prevailing market conditions and the nature and history of the Company’s business;

•

Prices, privileges, powers, preferences and rights of the Company’s convertible preferred stock relative to those of the Common Stock;

•

Forecasted cash flow projections for the Company;

F-28

Dave Inc.

Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

•

Illiquidity of stock-based awards involving securities in a private company; and

•

Macroeconomic conditions.

The assumptions underlying these valuations represented management’s best estimate, which involved inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment. The probability of a liquidity event and the derived discount rate are significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the Common Stock. If the Company had used different assumptions or estimates, the fair value of the Common Stock and the Company’s stock-based compensation expense could have been materially different.

During 2019 and 2020, the Company’s estimated fair value of its Common Stock remained relatively consistent, fluctuating between $0.935 per share as of August 5, 2019 (“August 2019 Valuation”) and $0.981 per share as of August 30, 2020 (“August 2020 Valuation”). The August 2019 Valuation and August 2020 Valuations utilized the income and market approaches in estimating the fair value.

In 2021, the Company’s management team contemplated a SPAC merger, which was incorporated in a June 7, 2021 valuation that resulted in a fair value for the Company’s Common Stock of $8.67 per share as of June 7, 2021 (“June 2021 Valuation”). The June 2021 Valuation used the hybrid method, wherein a PWERM incorporated an expected near term SPAC exit scenario as well as an option pricing model (“OPM”).

The increase in the fair value of Dave’s common stock between the August 2019 Valuation and August 2020 Valuation, and the June 2021 Valuation was due to the Company’s progress towards completing the SPAC merger that was not known or knowable at the earlier valuation dates.

Loans to Stockholders

In 2019, the Company entered into loan, pledge, and option agreements with various employees, who are also stockholders, to provide those employees cash in exchange for non-recourse promissory notes and call options, which allow the Company to acquire shares held by these stockholders. Following ASC 310, the Company recorded the note as a reduction to shareholders’ equity and will do so until it is repaid, or the associated call option is exercised and the Company reacquires the collateralized shares. Interest earned and accrued on the notes also increases this contra-equity account balance.

Advertising Costs

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense for the six-months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, was approximately $25.9 million and $12.0 million, respectively, and is presented within advertising and marketing in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Income Taxes

The Company follows ASC 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”), which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are based on the differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent management concludes it is more-likely-than-not that the asset will not be realized.

F-29

Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

realized on examination, including compromise settlements. For tax positions not meeting the more-likely-than-not threshold, no tax benefit is recorded. The Company has estimated approximately $0.1 million of uncertain tax positions as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, related to state income taxes.

The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties accrued on any unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense within the statement of operations. The Company recognized approximately $0.003 million of interest expense as a component of income tax expense during the six-months ended June 30, 2021 and the year ended December 31, 2020. There was approximately $0.006 million and $0.003 million of accrued interest as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

Segment Information

The Company determines its operating segments based on how its chief operating decision makers manage operations, make operating decisions and evaluate operating performance. The Company has determined that the Chief Operating Decision Maker, or “CODM”, is a joint role shared by the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Based upon the way the CODM reviews financial information and makes operating decisions and considering that the CODM reviews financial information on a consolidated basis for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance, the service-based and transaction-based operations constitute a single operating segment and one reportable segment.

Net Income Per Share Attributable to Stockholders

The Company has five classes of participating securities (Series A preferred stock, par value $0.000001 per share (“Series A Preferred Shares”), Series B-1 preferred stock, par value $0.000001 per share (“Series B-1 Preferred Shares”), and Series B-2 preferred stock, par value $0.000001 per share (“Series B-2 Preferred Shares”) and, together with the Series A Preferred Shares and the Series B-1 Preferred Shares, (the “Preferred Stock”), unvested RSAs and early exercised stock options) issued and outstanding as of June 30, 2021 and 2020. The Company used the two-class method to compute net income per common share, because it had issued multiple classes of participating securities. The two-class method requires earnings for the period to be allocated between multiple classes of participating securities based upon their respective rights to receive distributed and undistributed earnings. The Company used the two-class method to compute net income per common share. Losses are not attributed to participating securities as holders of Preferred Stock, unvested RSAs, and early exercise stock options are not contractually obligated to share in the Company’s losses.

Basic net income attributable to holders of Common Stock per share is calculated by dividing net income attributable to holders of Common Stock by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding, excluding shares issued in relation to unvested RSAs and vested early exercise options funded by non-recourse notes (refer to Note 11 Related-Party Transactions for further details on the Company’s Loans to Stockholders).

Diluted net income per share attributable to holders of Common Stock adjusts the basic net income per share attributable to stockholders and the weighted-average number of shares outstanding for the potentially dilutive impact of stock options, warrants and restricted stock using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the as-if-converted method.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted:

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”). ASU 2016-13 introduced a new credit loss methodology, the Current Expected Credit Losses (“CECL”) methodology, which requires earlier recognition of credit losses, while also providing additional transparency about credit risk. The CECL methodology utilizes a lifetime “expected credit loss” measurement objective for the recognition of credit losses for loans, held-to maturity debt securities, trade receivables and other receivables measured at amortized cost at the time the financial asset is originated or acquired. Subsequent to the issuance of ASU 2016-13, the FASB issued several additional ASUs to clarify implementation guidance, provide narrow-scope improvements and provide additional disclosure guidance.

Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

November 2019, the FASB issued an amendment making this ASU effective for public companies for the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The Company plans to adopt the standard on January 1, 2023, provided it remains an “emerging growth company” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”), as part of its Simplification Initiative to reduce the cost and complexity in accounting for income taxes. The amendments in ASU 2019-12 remove certain exceptions related to the approach for intra-period tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. ASU 2019-12 also amends other aspects of the guidance to help simplify and promote consistent application of U.S. GAAP. This ASU is effective for public companies for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The Company plans to adopt the standard on January 1, 2022, provided it remains an “emerging growth company” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which provides optional guidance for accounting for contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform, if certain criteria are met. The provisions of this standard are available for election for all companies through December 31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In August 2020, the FASB issued 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): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”). The guidance in ASU 2020-06 simplifies the accounting for convertible debt and convertible preferred stock by removing the requirements to separately present certain conversion features in equity. In addition, the amendments in the ASU 2020-06 also simplify the guidance in ASC Subtopic 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging: Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity, by removing certain criteria that must be satisfied in order to classify a contract as equity, which is expected to decrease the number of freestanding instruments and embedded derivatives accounted for as assets or liabilities. Finally, the amendments revise the guidance on calculating earnings per share, requiring use of the if-converted method for all convertible instruments and rescinding an entity’s ability to rebut the presumption of share settlement for instruments that may be settled in cash or other assets. The amendments in ASU 2020-06 are effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. Early adoption is permitted. The guidance must be adopted as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In May 2021, 1he FASB issued ASU 2021-04, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt-Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40), which addresses issuer’s accounting for certain modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options. The amendment in this update is effective for all companies for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021. The new standard will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2022. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements:

In October 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-10, Codification Improvements (“Codification”). The update provides incremental improvements on various topics in the Codification to provide clarification, correct errors in, and simplification on a variety of topics. Among other things, the guidance includes presentation disclosures for the amount of income tax expense or benefit related to other comprehensive income. The amendments are effective for public entities in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted the standard effective January 1, 2021. The Company has evaluated the effect that the updated standard had on its internal processes, condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures, and has determined that the adoption did not have a significant impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

As of December 31, 2020, the Company had an outstanding balance of $3.9 million, which included $10 thousand of accrued interest. The interest incurred related to this borrowing is included in Interest expense within the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

Note 6 Long-Term Debt, Net

2021 Debt Facility:

In January 2021, Dave OD Funding I, LLC (“Borrower”) entered into a Senior Secured Loan Facility (the “Debt Facility”) with Victory Park Management, LLC (“Agent”), allowing the Borrower to draw up to $100 million from various lenders associated with Victory Park Management, LLC (the “Lenders”). The Debt Facility has an interest rate of 6.95% annually plus a base rate defined as the greater of three-month LIBOR (as of the last business day of each calendar month) and 2.55%. Interest is payable monthly in arrears. The Debt Facility has certain financial covenants, including a requirement to maintain a minimum cash, cash equivalents, or marketable securities balance of $10.0 million and as of June 30, 2021, the Company was in compliance with all covenants. Payments of the loan draws are due at the following dates: (i) within five business days after the date of receipt by the Borrower and the Company (“Credit Party”) or any of their subsidiaries of any net cash proceeds in excess of $250 thousand in the aggregate during any fiscal year from any asset sales (other than certain permitted dispositions), the Borrower shall prepay the loans or remit such net cash proceeds in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of such net cash proceeds; (ii) within five business days after the date of receipt by any Credit Party or any of their subsidiaries, or the Agent as loss payee, of any net cash proceeds from any

destruction or taking, the Borrower shall prepay the loans or remit such net cash proceeds in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of such net cash proceeds; (iii) within three business days after the date of receipt by any Credit Party or any of their subsidiaries of any net cash proceeds from the incurrence of any indebtedness of any Credit Party or any of their subsidiaries (other than with respect to permitted indebtedness), the Borrower shall prepay the loans or remit such net cash proceeds in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of such net cash proceeds; and (iv) if extraordinary receipts are received by any Credit Party in the aggregate amount in any fiscal year in excess of $250 thousand or (b) if an event of default has occurred and is continuing at any time when any extraordinary receipts are received by any Credit Party, then within five business days of the receipt by any Credit Party of any such extraordinary receipts, the Borrower shall prepay the loans or remit such net cash proceeds in an aggregate amount equal to (x) 100% of such extraordinary receipts in excess of $250 thousand in respect of clause (a) above and (y) 100% of such extraordinary receipts in respect of clause (b) above. As of June 30, 2021, the Company has drawn $23.0 million on the Debt Facility and has made no repayments.

Contemporaneously with the execution of the Debt Facility, the Company issued warrants to the Lenders as consideration for entering into the Debt Facility, representing a loan commitment fee. The warrants vest and become exercisable based on the Company’s aggregated draw on the Debt Facility in incremental $10.0 million tranches and terminate upon the earliest to occur of (i) the fifth anniversary of the occurrence of a qualified financing event and (ii) the consummation of a liquidity event. The holders of the warrants have the ability to exercise their right to acquire a number of common shares equal to 0.2% of the fully diluted equity of the Company as of the closing date (“Closing Date”) of the Company’s next equity financing with proceeds of at least $40.0 million (“Qualified Financing Event”) or immediately prior to the consummation of a liquidity event. The exercise price of the warrants is the greater of (i) 80% of the fair market value of each share of Common Stock at the Closing Date and (ii) $3.752050 per share, subject to certain down-round adjustments. The warrants meet the definition of a derivative under ASC 815 and will be accounted for as a liability at fair value and subsequently remeasured to fair value at the end of each reporting period with the changes in fair value recorded in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. The initial offsetting entry to the warrant liability was an asset recorded to reflect the loan commitment fee. The loan commitment fee asset will be amortized to interest expense over the commitment period of four years. The Company estimates the fair value of the warrants at the issuance date to be $0.1 million using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Determining the fair value of these warrants under this model requires subjective assumptions. These estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment. The following table presents the assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the warrants at the issuance date:


Expected volatility		55.0%
Risk-free interest rate		0.1 - 0.2%
Remaining term		0.6 - 2.9 Years

Whalerock v. Dave Inc.

Whalerock Industries Holding Company, LLC (“Whalerock”) filed an unlawful detainer action against the Company on or about August 4, 2020, which was dismissed by Whalerock on March 18, 2021. On or about March 29, 2021, Whalerock initiated new litigation against the Company seeking declaratory relief. The Company and Whalerock entered into a sublease in May 2020 whereby the Company would sublease certain space from Whalerock located in West Hollywood, California. This matter involves a dispute between the Company and Whalerock over when the 18-month sublease commenced. The Company believes the lease commencement date was June 15th, 2021, when the California stay-at-home order was lifted and the Company was legally allowed to use the sublease premises. The total rent payments in dispute total approximately $1.8 million. The Company is actively litigating this matter and cannot reasonably estimate the most likely outcome at this time.

Note 8 Leases

In June 2018, the Company entered into a lease agreement for a single general office space in Los Angeles, California. The initial term of the lease is nine months with a five-year extension option at the discretion of the lessee. Monthly rent is approximately $1 thousand, subject to an annual escalation of 3%.

In November 2018, the Company entered into a sublease agreement with PCJW Properties LLC (“PCJW”), controlled by Company’s founders (including the Company’s current CEO), for general office space next to the aforementioned leased property in Los Angeles, California. The lease term is five years subject to early termination by either party. Under the terms of the sublease, monthly rent is approximately $5 thousand, subject to an annual escalation of 4%.

In January 2019, the Company entered into a lease agreement with PCJW for office space located in Los Angeles, California. The lease term is seven years, beginning January 1, 2019 and ending December 31, 2025. Monthly rent is approximately $19 thousand, subject to an annual escalation of 5%.

In September 2019, the Company entered into a sublease for general office space in West Hollywood, California. The lease term is two years subject to early termination by either party. Under the terms of the lease, monthly rent is approximately $10 thousand, subject to an annual escalation of 3%. In December 2019, the Company entered into a lease amendment to increase the leased office space in exchange for monthly rent of approximately $23 thousand. The amendment also extended the lease term to October 31, 2021, and increased the annual escalation to 3.5%.

In May 2020, the Company entered into a sublease with Whalerock for general office space in West Hollywood, California. Under the terms of the sublease, the lease term is approximately 18-months and the monthly rent is approximately $140 thousand. The Company began utilizing the office space in June 2021.

Recent Legal Matters:

Refer to Note 7 Commitments and Contingencies for further details on the Company’s recent legal matters.

Amendment to the Private Investment in Public Equity Subscription Agreement:

In August 2021, VPCC announced that it has entered into an amendment to the private investment in public equity (“PIPE”) subscription agreement (“PIPE Amendment”) it previously entered into with Alameda Research Ventures LLC (“Alameda Research”) in connection with the proposed business combination with the Company. The PIPE Amendment calls for a $15 million pre-funding, which will be facilitated through the issuance of a promissory note by the Company to Alameda Research. The Company’s obligations to repay the principal amount of such promissory note would be discharged through the issuance to Alameda Research of 1.5 million shares of VPCC at the closing of the business combination.

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through October 5, 2021, the date the condensed consolidated financial statements were available to be issued as approved by management.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Shareholders and the Board of Directors of

Dave Inc. and subsidiary

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Dave Inc. and subsidiary (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the related consolidated statements of operations, convertible preferred stock and stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures to respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements

As discussed in Note 2, the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been restated.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1 Business and Basis of Presentation

Business

Dave Inc. (the “Company” or “Dave”) is a Delaware corporation formed in October 2015 and headquartered in Los Angeles, California. The Company’s business is to provide its members (“Members”) a suite of financial software and services related to personal finance. All operating activities, revenues earned, and expenses incurred were generated in the United States of America.

Dave’s Personal Financial Management Service

Dave’s personal financial management service enables Members to monitor their bank account balances to avoid overdraft fees and build budgets to assist in short-term financial planning. When a Member signs up for the Company’s mobile application, Dave connects to the Member’s checking account and then monitors and analyzes the Member’s typical spending and saving behavior. Based on this analysis, Dave identifies upcoming expenses, such as a car or rent payment, and likely future spending based on historical spending habits, which enables Members to more effectively manage their finances. The Members are charged a $1 monthly fee for this software monitoring service.

Basis of Presentation

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

F-48

Dave Inc.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

On November 11, 2020, the Company effected a ten-for-one stock split to shareholders of record as of November 11, 2020. All shares, stock options, and restricted stock units have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the stock split.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and a variable interest entity (“VIE”).

In accordance with the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810, Consolidation, the Company consolidates any VIE of which the Company is the primary beneficiary. The typical condition for a controlling financial interest ownership is holding a majority of the voting interests of an entity; however, a controlling financial interest may also exist in entities, such as VIEs, through arrangements that do not involve controlling voting interests. ASC 810 requires a variable interest holder to consolidate a VIE if that party has the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company does not consolidate a VIE in which it has a majority ownership interest when it is not considered the primary beneficiary. The Company evaluates its relationships with its VIEs on an ongoing basis to ensure that the Company continues to be the primary beneficiary.

Variable Interest Entity:

On December 9, 2020, the Company formed Dave OD Funding I, LLC, a Delaware LLC, and wholly owned subsidiary of Dave Inc. Dave is considered the primary beneficiary of Dave OD Funding I, LLC and consolidates 100% of the entity. The subsidiary had no activity during 2020.

COVID-19 Impact

There are many uncertainties regarding the current global pandemic involving a novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”), and the Company continues to closely monitor the impact of the pandemic on all aspects of its business, including how it has and may in the future impact its Members, employees, suppliers, vendors, and business partners. The duration and magnitude of the continuing effects of COVID-19 on the Company’s Members remain uncertain and dependent on various factors, including the continued severity and transmission rate of the virus, new variants of the virus, the nature of and duration for which preventative measures remain in place, the extent and effectiveness of containment and mitigation efforts, including vaccination programs, and the type of stimulus measures and other policy responses that the U.S. government may further adopt.

Beginning in March 2020, the Company’s business and operations were disrupted by the conditions caused by COVID-19, which adversely affected Members’ spending levels and disposable income. Governmental actions such as the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) helped mitigate the effects of COVID-19 on the Company’s Members. In particular, stimulus funds and incremental unemployment benefits provided under the CARES Act created additional financial support for the Company’s Members; however, the overall economic conditions potentially increase Members’ credit risk. The Company is concurrently evaluating its policies around the level and extent of Members’ cash advances and corresponding credit risk. The Company expects to continue to assess the evolving impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and intends to make adjustments to its responses accordingly.

Note 2 Restatement of Previously-Issued Financial Statements

In connection with the preparation of the Company’s June 30, 2021 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, management became aware of errors related to Member advances and the Allowance for unrecoverable advances.

F-49

Dave Inc.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

The Company evaluated the materiality of these errors both qualitatively and quantitatively in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 99, Materiality and SAB No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements, and determined the effect of these corrections was material to the consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. Accordingly, the Company has restated the consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 in accordance with ASC 250, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections.

Additionally, the Company identified an error related to Member advances, net of the allowance for unrecoverable advances in 2018, which was corrected through an out of period adjustment in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019. The out of period adjustment decreased Member advances, net of the allowance for unrecoverable advances and increased the Provision for unrecoverable advances by approximately $0.3 million. The Company determined that this error was not material to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018, nor was the impact of the out of period adjustment to correct the error material to the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019.

In addition to the adjustments made to correct the overstatement of Member advances, net of allowance for unrecoverable advances, and the understatement of the Provision for unrecoverable advances, the Company also made related adjustments to Prepaid income taxes, Income taxes payable, Other non-current liabilities and the Provision for income taxes. These adjustments did not affect operating revenues, total cash flows from operating activities, financing activities or investing activities for any period presented. In response to the errors, the Company redesigned its internal controls around the Member advances, net of allowances for unrecoverable advances to detect and prevent future errors.

Note 3 Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported revenues and expenses incurred during the reporting periods. The Company’s estimates are based on its historical experience and on various other factors that the Company believes are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The Company’s critical accounting estimates and assumptions are evaluated on an ongoing basis including those related to the: (i) allowance for unrecoverable advances; (ii) realization of tax assets and estimates of tax liabilities; (iii) valuation of equity securities; and (iv) fair value of the derivative related to the Company’s 2018 convertible notes. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Revenue Recognition

Service Based Revenue, Net:

Service based revenue, net primarily consists of tips, express processing fees, and subscriptions charged to Members, net of processor costs associated with advance disbursements.

Member advances are treated as financial receivables under ASC 310 Receivables (“ASC 310”). Advance-related income is reported net of direct loan origination costs.

F-52

Dave Inc.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Costs incurred by the Company to fund cash advances are treated as direct loan origination costs. These direct loan origination costs are netted against advance-related income over the expected contractual term of the advance. Direct origination costs recognized as a reduction of advance-related income during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, was $3.6 million and $2.1 million, respectively.

The Company accounts for subscriptions in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). Under ASC 606, the Company must identify the contract with a Member, identify the performance obligations in the contract, determine the transaction price, allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies the performance obligations. The Company’s primary sources of revenue are derived from fees earned on advances, and other financial instruments that are not within the scope of ASC 606. The Company has evaluated the nature of its contracts with Members and determined that further disaggregation of revenue from contracts with Members into categories beyond what is presented in the consolidated statements of operations was not necessary. For revenue sources that are within the scope of Topic 606, the Company fully satisfies its performance obligations and recognizes revenue in the period it is earned as services are rendered. Transaction prices are typically fixed, charged on a periodic basis or based on activity. Because performance obligations are satisfied as services are rendered and the transaction prices are fixed, there is little judgment involved in applying ASC 606 that significantly affects the determination of the amount and timing of revenue from contracts with the Company’s Members. Sources of revenue from contracts with Members that are in the scope of ASC 606 include subscription fees, lead generation fees and reward program fees.

Service based revenue also consists of lead generation fees from the Company’s Side Hustle advertising partners. The Company is entitled to receive these lead generation fees when Members of the application sign up for jobs with the Company’s various partners. Lead generation contracts contain a single performance obligation. Lead generation revenue is recognized at a point in time upon satisfaction and completion of the single performance obligation. The Company also receives cash monthly as part of a rewards program for those Dave debit card Members who choose to spend funds with selected vendors. The cash received by the Company is recorded as unearned revenue and recognized into revenue as the subscription credits are earned by the Members.

Transaction Based Revenue, Net:

Transaction based revenue, net primarily consists of interchange and ATM revenues from Dave’s Checking Product and are recognized at the point in time the transactions occur, as the performance obligation is satisfied.

Processing and Servicing Fees

Processor fees consist of fees paid to the Company’s processors for the recovery of advances, tips, processing fees, and subscriptions. These expenses also include fees paid for services to connect Member’s bank accounts to the Company’s application. Aside from processing and service fees associated with advance disbursements, all other processing and service fees are expensed as incurred are expensed as incurred.

F-53

Dave Inc.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company classifies all highly liquid instruments with an original maturity of three months or less as cash equivalents.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash primarily represents cash held at financial institutions that is pledged as collateral for specific accounts that may become overdrawn. At December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company had restricted cash in the amounts of $0.3 million and $0.1 million, respectively.

Marketable Securities

Marketable securities consist of a money market mutual fund. The fair value of marketable securities is determined by quoted prices in active markets and changes in fair value are recorded in other (income) expense in the statement of operations.

Member Advances

Advances to Members are not interest-bearing. The Company recognizes these advances at face value and does not use discounting techniques to determine present value of advances due to their short-term average maturity. The consequent discount impact under the imputed interest rate method does not result in a significant impact to the financial statements.

The Company does not provide modifications to advances.

Allowance for Unrecoverable Advances

Internally Developed Software

F-54

Dave Inc.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

employees incurred for time spent on upgrades and enhancements to add functionality to the software and fees paid to third-party consultants who are directly involved in development efforts. These capitalized costs are included on the consolidated balance sheets as intangible assets, net. Other costs are expensed as incurred and included within Other operating expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.

Property and Equipment, Net

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated over the estimated useful lives ranging from 3 to 7 years using the straight-line method. Maintenance and repair costs are charged to operations as incurred and included within Other operating expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company assesses the impairment of long-lived assets, primarily property and equipment and amortizable intangible assets, whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that carrying amounts of the assets may not be fully recoverable. If the sum of the expected undiscounted future cash flows from an asset is less than the carrying amount of the asset, the Company estimates the fair value of the assets. The Company measures the loss as the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds its fair value calculated using the present value of estimated net future cash flows.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”), provides a single definition of fair value and a common framework for measuring fair value as well as disclosure requirements for fair value measurements used in financial statements. Under ASC 820, fair value is determined based upon the exit price that would be received by a company to sell an asset or paid by a company to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants, exclusive of any transaction costs. Fair value measurements are determined by either the principal market or the most advantageous market. The principal market is the market with the greatest level of activity and volume for the asset or liability. Absent a principal market to measure fair value, the Company uses the most advantageous market, which is the market from which the Company would receive the highest selling price for the asset or pay the lowest price to settle the liability, after considering transaction costs. However, when using the most advantageous market, transaction costs are only considered to determine which market is the most advantageous and these costs are then excluded when applying a fair value measurement. ASC 820 creates a three-level hierarchy to prioritize the inputs used in the valuation techniques to derive fair values. The basis for fair value measurements for each level within the hierarchy is described below, with Level 1 having the highest priority and Level 3 having the lowest.

Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Consideration is given to the risk inherent in the valuation technique and the risk inherent in the inputs to the model.

Following are the major categories of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1), significant other observable inputs (Level 2), and significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) (in thousands):

Derivative asset on loans to stockholders		—		—		457		457

Total assets	$	25,305	$	—	$	457	$	25,762

The Company had no assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis as of December 31, 2020 and 2019.

The Company also has financial instruments not measured at fair value. The Company has evaluated cash and cash equivalents, Member advances, net, restricted cash, accounts payable, and accrued expenses and believes the carrying value approximates the fair value due to the short-term nature of these balances. The fair value of convertible notes payable and line of credit approximate its carrying value.

Marketable Securities:

The Company evaluated the quoted market prices in active markets for its marketable securities and has classified its securities as Level 1. The Company’s investments in marketable securities are exposed to price fluctuations. The fair value measurements for the securities are based upon the quoted prices of similar items in active markets multiplied by the number of securities owned.

Derivatives:

Derivative Liability Related to Convertible Notes

As discussed further in Note 9 Convertible Debt, Net, the Optional Conversion upon a Qualified Financing feature included in the 2018 Convertible Notes was deemed to be, in substance, a put option settleable in a variable number of shares, that met the definition of a derivative under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). This derivative liability was accounted for separately from the 2018 Convertible Notes and was initially recorded as a liability at fair value, with the offsetting entry treated as a reduction to the carrying value of the 2018 Convertible Notes. The derivative liability was subsequently recorded at fair value at each reporting period, with changes in fair value reflected in earnings. The loss related to the change in fair value of the derivative liability in 2019 was $0.5 million (presented within other (income)/expense on the consolidated statement of operations). All 2018 Convertible Notes were converted to Series B-2 preferred stock during 2019.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

A roll-forward of the Level 3 derivative liability is as follows (dollars in thousands):


Opening value at January 1, 2019	$	940
Change in fair value during the period		536
Conversion into Series B-2 preferred stock		(1,476	)

Ending value at December 31, 2019	$	—

The Company used a discounted cash flow valuation technique to determine the fair value of the derivative liability. Unobservable inputs include terms in years, calibrated risk premiums, option adjusted spreads and risk-free rates.


Unobservable Inputs		Range
Term (in years)		0.63 to 1.10
Calibrated risk premium		2.46% to 5.50%
Option adjusted spread		6.62% to 11.04%
Risk-free rate		1.87% to 2.62%

Derivative Asset Related to Loans to Stockholders

In relation to certain loans to stockholders, the Company purchased call options which grant the Company the right to acquire a fixed number of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.000001 per share (“Common Stock”), held by such stockholders over the exercise period (four years). However, the exercise price per share is not fixed. The approximate $3.273 exercise price per share increases by a nominal amount of approximately $0.005 for each month that lapses from the call option issuance date. As of December 31, 2020, the exercise price per share was approximately $3.362. The Company understands that this variability in the exercise price of the call option is tied to the passage of time, which is not an input to the fair value of the Company’s shares per ASC 815. Therefore, the Company does not believe the call option meets the scope exception under ASC 815. As the scope exception is not met, the call option is accounted for as a derivative instrument. Accordingly, the call option is measured at fair value and presented as a derivative asset on loans to stockholders on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Interest earned on the non-recourse promissory notes will be reported as interest income and changes in the fair value of the call option will be reported as other income or expense in the period incurred. The call option is measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period with change in fair value recorded in earnings. The fair value of the call option as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, was approximately $0.5 million.

A roll-forward of the Level 3 derivative asset on loans to stockholders is as follows (dollars in thousands):


Opening value at January 1, 2019	$	—
Initial fair value at the original issuance dates		457
Change in fair value during the period		—

Ending value at December 31, 2019	$	457

Change in fair value during the period		—

Ending value at December 31, 2020	$	457

Dave Inc.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

The Company used a binomial option pricing model to determine the fair value of the call option. The following table presents the assumptions used to value the call options for the year ended December 31 2020:


Expected volatility		61.5%
Risk-free interest rate		0.2%
Remaining term		3.0 Years

There were no other assets or liabilities that were required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2020 and 2019.

Fair Value of Common Stock

The Company considered various objective and subjective factors to determine the fair value of its Common Stock as of each grant date, including:

•

Historical financial performance;

•

The Company’s business strategy;

•

Industry information, such as external market conditions and trends;

•

Lack of marketability of the Common Stock;

•

Prices, privileges, powers, preferences and rights of the Company’s convertible preferred stock relative to those of the Common Stock;

•

Forecasted cash flow projections for the Company;

•

Illiquidity of stock-based awards involving securities in a private company; and

•

Macroeconomic conditions.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Concentration of Risk

Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, principally consist of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, Member cash advances, and accounts receivable. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insured limits were approximately $4.6 million and $5.7 million at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Also, the Company does not believe its marketable securities are exposed to any significant credit risk due to the quality and nature of the securities in which the money is held. Pursuant to the Company’s internal investment policy, investments must be rated A-1/P-1 or better by Standard and Poor’s Rating Service and Moody’s Investors Service at the time of purchase.

No Member individually exceeded 10% or more of the Company’s Member cash advances balances as of December 31, 2020 and 2019.

Convertible Debt

The Company accounts for convertible notes in accordance with ASC Topic 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options. Convertible notes are classified as liabilities measured at amortized cost, net of debt discounts from the allocation of proceeds. Interest expense is recognized using the effective interest method over the expected term of the debt instrument pursuant to ASC Topic 835, Interest.

As discussed further in Note 9 Convertible Debt, Net, the Company issued 2018 convertible promissory notes (“2018 Convertible Notes”) and 2019 convertible promissory notes (“2019 Convertible Notes”) in 2018 and 2019, respectively.

Leases

ASC 842, Leases (“ASC 842”) requires lessees to recognize most leases on the balance sheet with a corresponding right-of-use asset. Right-of-use 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. Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the estimated present value of fixed lease payments over the lease term. Leases are classified as financing or operating which will drive the expense recognition pattern. Lease payments on short-term leases are recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Company leases office space under four separate leases, all of which are considered operating leases. One lease includes the option to renew and the exercise of the renewal option is at the Company’s sole discretion. Options to extend or terminate a lease are considered as part of calculating the lease term to the extent that the option is reasonably certain of exercise. The leases do not include the options to purchase the leased property. The depreciable life of assets and leasehold improvements are limited by the expected lease term. Covenants imposed by the leases include letters of credit required to be obtained by the lessee.

The incremental borrowing rate (“IBR”) represents the rate of interest the Company would expect to pay on a collateralized basis to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments under similar terms. When determinable, the Company uses the rate implicit in the lease to determine the present value of lease payments. As the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Loans to Stockholders

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock Option Awards:

ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”), requires the estimate of the fair value of all share-based payments to employees, including grants of stock options, to be recognized in the statement of operations over the requisite service period. Under ASC 718, employee option grants are generally valued at the grant date and those valuations do not change once they have been established. The fair value of each option award is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model. As allowed by ASC 718, the Company’s estimate of expected volatility is based on its peer company average volatilities, including industry, stage of life cycle, size, and financial leverage. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant valuation. The Company recognizes forfeitures as they occur.

Restricted Stock Awards:

Restricted stock awards (“RSAs”) are valued on the grant date and the fair value of the RSAs is equal to the estimated fair value of the Company’s Common Stock on the grant date. This compensation cost is recognized over the requisite service period. When the requisite service period begins prior to the grant date (because the service inception date occurs prior to the grant date), the Company is required to begin recognizing compensation cost before there is a measurement date (i.e., the grant date). The service inception date is the beginning of the requisite service period. If the service inception date precedes the grant date, accrual of compensation cost for periods before the grant date shall be based on the fair value of the award at the reporting date. In the period in which the grant is approved, cumulative compensation cost is adjusted to reflect the cumulative effect of the compensation cost based on fair value at the grant date rather than the service inception date. The Company recognizes forfeitures as they occur.

RSAs Issued to Non-Employees:

The Company issues shares of restricted stock to consultants for various advisory and consulting related services. The Company recognized this expense, measured as the estimated value of the shares issued, as a component of stock-based compensation expense, presented within compensation and benefits in the consolidated statements of operations.

Advertising Costs

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, was approximately $38.0 million and $22.9 million, respectively, and is presented within advertising and marketing in the consolidated statements of operations.

Income Taxes

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are based on the differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent management concludes it is more-likely-than-not that the asset will not be realized.

ASC 740 provides that a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may be recognized when it is more-likely-than-not that the position will be sustained in a court of last resort, based on the technical merits. If more-likely-than-not, the amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon examination, including compromise settlements. For tax positions not meeting the more-likely-than-not threshold, no tax benefit is recorded. The Company has estimated $0.1 million of uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2020, related to state income taxes. The Company had no unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2019.

The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties accrued on any unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense within the statement of operations.

Segment Information

Net Loss (Income) Per Share Attributable to Stockholders

The Company has five classes of participating securities (Series A preferred stock, par value $0.000001 per share (“Series A Preferred Shares”), Series B-1 preferred stock, par value $0.000001 per share (“Series B-1 Preferred Shares”), and Series B-2 preferred stock, par value $0.000001 per share (“Series B-2 Preferred Shares”) and, together with the Series A Preferred Shares and the Series B-1 Preferred Shares, the “Preferred Stock”), unvested RSAs and early exercised stock options) issued and outstanding as of December 31, 2020 and 2019. The Company used the two-class method to compute net loss (income) per common share, because it had issued multiple classes of participating securities. The two-class method requires losses (earnings) for the period to be allocated between multiple classes of participating securities based upon their respective rights to receive distributed and undistributed losses (earnings). The Company used the two-class method to compute net loss (income) per common share. Losses are not attributed to participating securities as holders of Preferred Stock, unvested RSAs, and early exercise stock options are not contractually obligated to share in the Company’s losses.

Basic net loss (income) attributable to holders of Common Stock per share is calculated by dividing net loss (income) attributable to holders of Common Stock by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding, excluding shares issued in relation to unvested RSAs and vested early exercise options funded by non-recourse notes (refer to Note 15 Related-Party Transactions for further details on the Company’s Loans to Stockholders).

providing additional transparency about credit risk. The CECL methodology utilizes a lifetime “expected credit loss” measurement objective for the recognition of credit losses for loans, held-to maturity debt securities, trade receivables and other receivables measured at amortized cost at the time the financial asset is originated or acquired. Subsequent to the issuance of ASU 2016-13, the FASB issued several additional ASUs to clarify implementation guidance, provide narrow-scope improvements and provide additional disclosure guidance. In November 2019, the FASB issued an amendment making this ASU effective for public companies for the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The Company plans to adopt the standard on January 1, 2023, provided it remains an “emerging growth company” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”), as part of its Simplification Initiative to reduce the cost and complexity in accounting for income taxes. The amendments in ASU 2019-12 remove certain exceptions related to the approach for intra-period tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. ASU 2019-12 also amends other aspects of the guidance to help simplify and promote consistent application of U.S. GAAP. This ASU is effective for public companies for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The Company plans to adopt the standard on January 1, 2022, provided it remains an “emerging growth company” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which provides optional guidance for accounting for contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform, if certain criteria are met. The provisions of this standard are available for election for all companies through December 31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In August 2020, the FASB issued 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): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”). The guidance in ASU 2020-06 simplifies the accounting for convertible debt and convertible preferred stock by removing the requirements to separately present certain conversion features in equity. In addition, the amendments in the ASU 2020-06 also simplify the guidance in ASC Subtopic 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging: Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity, by removing certain criteria that must be satisfied in order to classify a contract as equity, which is expected to decrease the number of freestanding instruments and embedded derivatives accounted for as assets or liabilities. Finally, the amendments revise the guidance on calculating earnings per share, requiring use of the if-converted method for all convertible instruments and rescinding an entity’s ability to rebut the presumption of share settlement for instruments that may be settled in cash or other assets. The amendments in ASU 2020-06 are effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. Early adoption is permitted. The guidance must be adopted as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In October 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-10, Codification Improvements. The update provides incremental improvements on various topics in the Codification to provide clarification, correct errors in, and simplification on a variety of topics. Among other things, the guidance includes presentation disclosures for the amount of income tax expense or benefit related to other comprehensive income. The amendments are effective for public entities in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt-Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40), which addresses issuer’s accounting for certain modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options. The amendment in this update is effective for all companies for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021. The new standard will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2022. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements:

In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480) and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Part 1—Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features (“ASU 2017-11”). Part 1 of ASU 2017-11 addresses the complexity of accounting for certain financial instruments with down round features. Down round features are provisions in certain equity-linked instruments (or embedded features) that result in the strike price being reduced on the basis of the pricing of future equity offerings. Current accounting guidance creates cost and complexity for entities that issue financial instruments (such as convertible instruments) with down round features that require fair value measurement of the entire instrument or conversion option. The Company adopted the standard effective January 1, 2019. The Company has evaluated the effect that the updated standard had on its internal processes, consolidated financial statements and related disclosures, and has determined that the adoption did not have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, which modifies certain disclosure requirements on fair value measurements. The Company adopted the standard effective January 1, 2020. The Company has evaluated the effect that the updated standard had on its internal processes, consolidated financial statements and related disclosures, and has determined that the adoption did not have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Note 9 Convertible Debt, Net

2018 Convertible Notes:

In 2018, the Company issued various convertible promissory notes with an aggregate principal amount of approximately $13.0 million, which were converted or paid in 2019. The interest rate was 8% per annum,

F-66

Dave Inc.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

computed as simple interest and was payable with each installment of principal. The convertible promissory notes had a maturity of 12 months from their respective issuance dates. Issuance costs related to this transaction were not significant.

The related principal and interest were convertible into shares of the Common Stock or a sub-class of Preferred Stock at the holder’s option if a qualified equity transaction were to take place (“2018 Optional Conversion upon a Qualified Financing”). A qualified equity transaction is defined as a financing transaction that raises at least $10.0 million through the issuance of Common Stock or Preferred Stock. The number of conversion shares would be determined based on 80% of the price paid as part of the qualified transaction.

The 2018 Optional Conversion upon a Qualified Financing feature was deemed to be, in substance, a put option settleable in a variable number of shares. This feature was accounted for as a derivative under ASC 815. Therefore, the Company bifurcated the derivative liability from the debt host and allocated value from the proceeds of the 2018 Convertible Notes to record the initial fair value of the derivative liability. This also resulted in a debt discount on the 2018 Convertible Notes that was amortized to interest expense over the contractual period of the notes using the effective interest rate method. The separated derivative liability was subsequently marked-to-estimated fair value each reporting period as presented in Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities of Note 3.

During 2019, upon the completion of a qualified equity transaction, $12.0 million in principal and interest related to the convertible promissory notes issued during 2018 was converted to 3,991,610 Series B-2 Preferred Shares. One of the holders of the 2018 Convertible Notes did not elect to convert; therefore, the holder’s principal and interest totaling $2.2 million was repaid to the holder. The derivative liability was marked-to-estimated fair value immediately prior to the 2018 Convertible Notes extinguishment accounting. The change in the derivative liability’s fair value between January 1, 2019 and August 12, 2019, was a $0.5 million loss which was reported within other expense in the consolidated statements of operations. The gain on conversion of $0.8 million is reported within other (income) expense in the consolidated statements of operations.

2019 Convertible Notes:

In 2019, the Company issued convertible promissory notes in an aggregate principal amount of approximately $0.7 million (the “2019 Convertible Notes”). The interest rate is 1.69% per annum, computed as simple interest and will accrue and be payable with each installment of principal. The 2019 Convertible Notes and accrued interest are due in full upon maturity, which is 36 months (2022) from the respective issuance dates. Issuance costs related to this transaction were not significant.

The 2019 Convertible Notes contained an embedded feature whereby the principal and interest are convertible into shares of the Common Stock or a sub-class of Preferred Stock at the holder’s option if a qualified equity transaction were to take place (“2019 Optional Conversion upon a Qualified Financing”). A qualified equity transaction is defined as a financing transaction that raises at least $40.0 million through the issuance of common or preferred shares. The Company determined that this embedded feature was, in substance, a put option settleable in a variable number of shares. However, it was determined that separate accounting under ASC 815 was not required because the put option was “clearly and closely related” to the host contract, as there was no significant discount or premium upon conversion. Therefore, the 2019 Convertible Notes and their embedded features were recorded as a single debt instrument. Additionally, the 2019 Convertible Notes contained a contingent beneficial conversion feature; however, the accounting for such feature is not recognized until the contingency associated with it is subsequently resolved.

As of December 31, 2020, no conversions of the 2019 Convertible Notes had occurred nor has the contingency associated with the beneficial conversion feature been resolved. The total outstanding principal and accrued interest balance is presented within convertible debt, long-term on the consolidated balance sheets.

Note 13 Convertible Preferred Stock and Stockholders’ Deficit

Convertible Preferred Stock:

Series A Preferred Shares

As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company had 133,216,940 authorized and outstanding Series A Preferred Shares with a par value of $0.000001 per share.

The Company’s Certificate of Incorporation (“Original Certificate”) and convertible preferred stock agreements specify the rights, preferences, and privileges of holders of the Company’s Series A Preferred Shares.

Series A Preferred Shares are entitled to dividends of $0.0113 per share per annum, subject to certain protection adjustments. Dividends are not cumulative and should be payable prior and in preference to any other dividends. No dividend may be declared or paid on any shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock unless at the same time an equivalent dividend is declared or paid on all outstanding Preferred Stock. No dividends have been declared or paid as of either December 31, 2020 or 2019.

Holders of Series A Preferred Shares can convert at their discretion, their Series A Preferred Shares into Common Stock. The conversion rate was set in October 2017 as 1:1. During August 2019, the conversion rate was amended in the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (“Restated Certificate”) by dividing the conversion price of the Series A Preferred Shares ($0.141 per share) by the applicable conversion price ($0.141 per share). Therefore, the conversion rate of 1:1 was not changed as part of the Restated Certificate. The conversion price is subject to adjustments as detailed in the Restated Certificate.

The Company’s Original Certificate stated that the Series A Preferred Shares would automatically convert into Common Stock under certain conditions including an initial public offering of the Company (“Company IPO”) at a price of at least $0.423 per share and gross proceeds of at least $50.0 million. Per the Restated Certificate amended in August 2019, Series A Preferred Shares will automatically convert into Common Stock under certain conditions, including a Company IPO with gross proceeds of at least $75.0 million. Automatic conversion will take place at the conversion rate calculated at the time of the conversion and using the conversion formula described in the preceding paragraph.

The Series A Preferred Shares contain deemed liquidation provisions that allow holders of the Series A Preferred Shares the option to redeem the Series A Preferred Shares for cash or other assets. The stockholders of the Company’s more subordinated equity instruments are not entitled to receive the same form of consideration as holders of the Series A Preferred Shares upon the occurrence of a liquidation event in which the Company does not affect the dissolution of the Company within 90 days after such deemed liquidation event. The preferential, ratable payment is made to preferred stockholders out of available assets determined as the higher of a) $0.141 per Series A Preferred Share, subject to adjustments as stated in the Restated Certificate, and b) amount that would have been payable if all Series A Preferred Shares were converted into Common Stock in accordance with the stated conversion rights. The total liquidation preference of Series A Preferred Shares was $130.7 million at December 31, 2020. The contingent redemption by holders of Series A Preferred Shares upon a deemed liquidation event resulted in mezzanine equity classification (outside of permanent equity) on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.

F-70

Dave Inc.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Series A Preferred Shares are entitled to stockholder voting rights that are equal to the number of Common Stock into which Series A Preferred Shares are convertible. Series A Preferred Shares have special preferred protective voting rights to approve, by majority vote, certain corporate events and changes including merger, consolidation, liquidation, increase in the amount of authorized Preferred Stock or Common Stock shares, and payment of dividends.

The Company determined that none of the embedded features required bifurcation and separate accounting as derivatives under ASC 815. The Company also determined that no beneficial conversion feature existed at the issuance date of the Series A Preferred Shares. However, a contingent beneficial conversion feature existed related to the conversion upon deemed liquidation events and the adjustment to the conversion price for dilution and other events. A contingent beneficial conversion feature is not recognized until the contingency is resolved and the event occurs. There is no current impact to the consolidated financial statements in relation to this contingent beneficial conversion feature as the contingency was not resolved as of December 31, 2020.

Series B-1 Preferred Shares

As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company had 13,326,050 authorized and outstanding Series B-1 Preferred Shares with a par value of $0.000001 per share. During 2019, the Company issued 13,326,050 Series B-1 Preferred Shares.

The Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and convertible preferred stock agreements specify the rights, preferences, and privileges of holders of the Series B-1 Preferred Shares.

Series B-1 Preferred Shares are entitled to dividends of $0.300164 per share per annum, subject to certain protection adjustments. The above dividends are not cumulative and are payable prior and in preference to any other dividends. No dividend may be declared or paid on any shares of Common Stock or convertible Preferred Stock unless at the same time an equivalent dividend is declared or paid on all outstanding convertible Preferred Stock. No dividends have been declared or paid as of December 31, 2020.

Holders of Series B-1 Preferred Shares can convert at their discretion, their Series B-1 Preferred Shares into Common Stock. The conversion rate was set in August 2019 in the Company’s Restated Certificate, by dividing the conversion price of the Series B-1 Preferred Shares ($0.3752050 per share) by the applicable conversion price ($0.3752050 per share). The conversion price is subject to adjustments as detailed in the Restated Certificate. There were no conversions to Common Stock or adjustments to the conversion price during 2019.

Series B-1 Preferred Shares will automatically convert into Common Stock under certain conditions, including a Company IPO with gross proceeds of at least $75.0 million. Automatic conversion will take place at the conversion rate calculated at the time of the conversion and using the conversion formula described in the preceding paragraph.

The Series B-1 Preferred Shares contain deemed liquidation provisions that allow holders of the Series B-1 Preferred Shares the option to redeem the Preferred Stock for cash or other assets. The stockholders of the Company’s more subordinated equity instruments are not entitled to receive the same form of consideration as holders of the Series B-1 Preferred Shares upon the occurrence of a liquidation event in which the Company does not affect the dissolution of the Company within 90 days after such deemed liquidation event. The preferential, ratable payment is made to preferred stockholders out of available assets determined as the higher of a) $3.752050 per Series B-1 Preferred Share, subject to adjustments as stated in the Restated Certificate, and

b) the amount that would have been payable if all Series B-1 Preferred Shares were converted into Common Stock in accordance with the stated conversion rights. The total liquidation preference of the Series B-1 Preferred Shares was $50.0 million at December 31, 2020. The contingent redemption by holders of the Series B-1 Preferred Shares upon a deemed liquidation event resulted in mezzanine equity classification (outside of permanent equity) on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.

Series B-1 Preferred Shares are entitled to stockholder voting rights that equal to the number of Common Stock into which the shares of Series B-1 Preferred Shares are convertible. Series B-1 Preferred Shares have special preferred protective voting rights to approve, by majority vote, certain corporate events and changes including merger, consolidation, liquidation, increase in the amount of authorized Preferred Stock or Common Stock shares, and payment of dividends.

The Company determined that none of the embedded features required bifurcation and separate accounting as derivatives under ASC 815. The Company also determined that no beneficial conversion feature existed at the issuance date of the Series B-1 Preferred Shares. However, a contingent beneficial conversion feature existed related to the conversion upon deemed liquidation events and the adjustment to the conversion price for dilution and other events. A contingent beneficial conversion feature is not recognized until the contingency is resolved and the event occurs. There is no current impact to the consolidated financial statements in relation to this contingent beneficial conversion feature as the contingency was not resolved as of December 31, 2020.

Series B-2 Preferred Shares

As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company had 3,991,610 authorized and outstanding Series B-2 Preferred Shares with a par value of $0.000001 per share. During 2019, the Company issued 3,991,610 shares of Series B-2 Preferred Shares as a result of the 2018 Convertible Notes conversion as discussed further in Note 9 Convertible Debt, Net.

The Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and convertible preferred stock agreements specify the rights, preferences, and privileges of holders of the Company’s Series B-2 Preferred Shares.

Series B-2 Preferred Shares are entitled to dividends of $0.240131 per share per annum, subject to certain protection adjustments. The above dividends are not cumulative and should be payable prior and in preference to any other dividends. No dividend may be declared or paid on any shares of Common Stock or convertible Preferred Stock unless at the same time an equivalent dividend is declared or paid on all outstanding convertible Preferred Stock. No dividends have been declared or paid as of December 31, 2020.

Holders of Series B-2 Preferred Shares can convert at their discretion, their Series B-2 Preferred Shares into Common Stock. The conversion rate was set in August 2019 in the Company’s Restated Certificate, by dividing the conversion price of the Series B-2 Preferred Shares ($0.3001640 per share) by the applicable conversion price ($0.3001640 per share). The conversion price is subject to adjustments as detailed in the Restated Certificate. There were no conversions to Common Stock or adjustments to the conversion price during 2019.

Common Stock:

As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company had 290,000,000 and 285,000,000 authorized shares of Common Stock with a par value $0.000001 per share, respectively. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, there were 103,062,319 and 101,391,560 shares of Common Stock issued, respectively. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, there were 100,223,194 and 99,449,310 shares of Common Stock outstanding, respectively.

The voting, dividend and liquidation rights of the holders of the Common Stock are subject to and qualified by the rights, powers and preferences of the holders of the Preferred Stock. The Company’s Certificate of Incorporation specifies the rights, preferences, and privileges of holders of Common Stock.

Holders of Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share of Common Stock held. Subject to dividend preferences that apply to the Preferred Stock, the holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive dividends out of funds legally available at the times and in the amounts that the Company’s Board of Directors may determine. Upon the Company’s liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, the assets legally available for distribution to the Company’s stockholders would be distributable ratably among the holders of the Company’s Common Stock and any participating convertible Preferred Stock outstanding at that time after payment of liquidation preferences on the outstanding shares of the Preferred Stock and payment of other claims of creditors.

Note 14 Stock-Based Compensation

In 2017, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted the Dave Inc. 2017 Stock Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan authorizes the award of stock options and restricted stock units. Options granted under the Plan generally vest over four years as follows: 25% of option shares vest on the first anniversary of the vesting commencement and 1/48^th of the shares vest monthly over the remaining three years. Options expire 10 years from the date of grant. The Plan provides for the issuance of incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, stock bonuses and rights to purchase restricted stock. The incentive stock options are expected to qualify within the meaning of

F-73

Dave Inc.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Section 422 of the U.S. Tax Code and non-statutory stock options. The total number of shares available for grants under the Plan are 4,849,883 as of December 31, 2020.

Stock Options:

Management has valued stock options at their date of grant utilizing the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value of the underlying shares was estimated by using a number of inputs, including recent arm’s length transactions involving the sale of the Company’s common stock.

The following table presents the weighted-average assumptions used to value options granted during the years ended December 31:


	2020			2019
Expected term		6.0 years			5.9 years
Risk-free interest rate		0.8	%		1.9	%
Expected dividend yield		0.0	%		0.0	%
Expected volatility		57.0	%		48.6	%

Expected term—The expected term represents the period of time that options are expected to be outstanding. As the Company does not have sufficient historical exercise behavior, it determines the expected life assumption using the simplified method, which is an average of the contractual term of the option and its vesting period.

Risk free interest rate—The risk-free interest rate is based on the implied yield available on U.S. Treasury issues with an equivalent term approximating the expected life of the options depending on the date of the grant and expected life of the options.

Expected dividend yield—The Company bases the expected dividend yield assumption on the fact that it has never paid cash dividends and has no present intention to pay cash dividends.

Expected volatility—Due to the Company’s limited operating history and lack of company-specific historical or implied volatility, the expected volatility assumption is based on historical volatilities of a peer group of similar companies whose share prices are publicly available. The Company identified a group of peer companies and considered their historical stock prices. In identifying peer companies, the Company considered the industry, stage of life cycle, size, and financial leverage of such other entities.

Activity with respect to options granted under the Plan is summarized as follows:


	Shares (1)			Weighted- Average Exercise Price (1)		Weighted- Average Remaining Contractual Term (years)		Aggregate Intrinsic Value (in thousands)
Options outstanding, December 31, 2019		12,273,640			$0.38		9.1		$6,775

Options outstanding, December 31, 2020		23,025,382		$	0.74		8.7	$	5,548

Nonvested options, December 31, 2020		17,524,327		$	0.88		9.4	$	1,844

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

The weighted-average grant-date fair-value of the grants was $0.51 and $0.39 for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

The Company recognized approximately $1.5 million and $0.3 million of stock-based compensation expense arising from stock option grants which is recorded as a component of compensation and benefits in the consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. There was approximately $7.1 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options granted under the Plan as of the year ended December 31, 2020. The cost is expected to be recognized over the weighted-average remaining period of 3.2 years.

The Company allowed certain stock option holders to exercise unvested options to purchase shares of common stock. Shares received from such early exercises are subject to repurchase in the event of the optionee’s employment termination, at the original issuance price, until the options are fully vested. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, 866,585 and 841,933 shares of common stock were subject to repurchase at weighted-average prices of $0.80 and $0.04 per share, respectively. As of December 31, 2020, the cash proceeds received for unvested shares of common stock of $88 thousand were recorded within other current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2019, there were no cash proceeds received for unvested shares of common stock. The Company historically has issued non-recourse notes secured by options to fund exercises to certain key employees. During 2020, the Company issued a non-recourse note for $1.0 million, which was secured by a pledge of 1,050,000 shares (see Note 15 Related-Party Transactions for details). The shares pledged are not considered outstanding for accounting purposes whether vested or unvested. As of December 31, 2020, there were 2,839,125 options exercised in exchange for non-recourse notes, of which 2,052,754 options were vested. As of December 31, 2019, there were 1,942,250 options exercised in exchange for non-recourse note, of which 1,195,317 options were vested. The shares issued pursuant to unvested options and both vested and unvested options funded by non-recourse notes have been included in shares issued and outstanding on the consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of convertible preferred stock and stockholders’ deficit as such shares are considered legally outstanding.

Restricted Stock Issued to Employees:

The Company did not issue shares of restricted stock to employees during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company modified RSAs issued to two employees by extending the period over which the Company could exercise its repurchase rights. The modification did not result in any additional stock-based compensation expense recognized for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.

The Company did not recognize any stock-based compensation expense related to restricted stock issued to employees for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. Stock-based compensation expense is presented within compensation and benefits in the consolidated statements of operations.

There was no unrecognized compensation cost related to employee unvested restricted stock as of December 31, 2020.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

The major components of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, consists of the following (dollars in thousands):


	2020			2019
Deferred tax assets:
Allowance for customer advances	$	3,790		$	2,962
Accrued expenses		1,216			—
Accrued compensation		369			—
Lease liability		448			588
Research and development tax credit		457			62
Other		33			148

Total deferred tax assets		6,313			3,760

Deferred tax liabilities:
Property and equipment		(1,380	)		(665	)
Right of use asset		(415	)		(557	)
State taxes		(287	)		(131	)
Prepaid expenses		(164	)		(70	)

Total deferred tax liabilities		(2,246	)		(1,423	)

Total net deferred tax assets before valuation allowance		4,067			2,337
Less: valuation allowance		(4,126	)		(2,374	)

Total net deferred tax liabilties	$	(59	)	$	(37	)

The realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon future sources of taxable income. Available positive and negative evidence is considered in making this determination. Due to a history of losses and uncertainty as to future taxable income, realization of the deferred tax assets is limited to the anticipated reversal of certain deferred tax liabilities. Management determined that there were insufficient federal and state deferred tax liabilities to offset all of the federal and state deferred tax assets at December 31, 2020 and 2019. Therefore, management believes it is more-likely-than-not that the net federal and state deferred assets will not be fully realized and has recorded valuation allowances in the amounts of approximately $4.1 million and $2.4 million, as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

A reconciliation of the Company’s gross unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 is as follows (dollars in thousands):


	2020		2019
Balance at beginning of year	$	—	$	—
Increases to prior positions		107		—
Decreases to prior positions		—		—
Increases for current year positions		7		—

Balance at end of year	$	114	$	—

As of December 31, 2020, the Company had $0.1 million of gross unrecognized tax benefits related to state income taxes. All of the unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2020, would, if recognized, affect the effective tax rate. Although it is possible that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits with respect to the uncertain tax positions will increase or decrease in the next 12 months, the Company does not expect material changes.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

The Company recognized $4 thousand of interest expense as a component of income tax expense during the year ended December 31, 2020. There were no interest or penalties recognized as a component of income tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2019.

On March 27, 2020, the CARES Act was enacted and signed into law. The CARES Act contains certain income tax relief provisions, including a modification to the limitation of business interest expense for tax years beginning in 2019 and 2020. In addition, the CARES Act permits net operating loss (NOL) carryovers and carrybacks to offset 100% of taxable income for taxable years beginning before 2021, and allows NOLs incurred in 2018, 2019 and 2020 to be carried back to each of the five preceding taxable years to generate a refund of previously paid income taxes. The CARES Act also created a program of funding for small business, known as the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”). The Company has not had, nor does it anticipate, any material tax impacts from the CARES Act.

The Company is subject to examination by taxing authorities in the jurisdictions in which it files tax returns, including federal, California, and various other state jurisdictions.

The California statute of limitations remains open for the tax periods December 31, 2016 and thereafter. The statute of limitations for the various other state jurisdictions remains open for the tax period December 31, 2019, the initial filing period in the other jurisdictions.

Note 17 401(k) Savings Plan

The Company maintains a 401(k) savings plan for the benefit of its employees. Employees can defer up to 90% of their compensation subject to fixed annual limits. The Company currently does not make matching contributions to the 401(k) savings plan. All current employees are eligible to participate in the 401(k) savings plan.

Note 18 Subsequent Event

Subsequent events are events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date, but before consolidated financial statements are available to be issued. The Company recognizes in the consolidated financial statements the effects of all subsequent events that provide additional evidence about conditions that existed at the date of the balance sheet, including the estimates inherent in the process of preparing the consolidated financial statements. The Company’s consolidated financial statements do not recognize subsequent events that provide evidence about conditions that did not exist at the date of the balance sheet but arose after the balance sheet date and before consolidated financial statements were available to be issued.

Each person appointed as a director of the Surviving Corporation pursuant to the preceding sentence shall remain in office as a director of the Surviving Corporation until his or her successor is elected and qualified or until his or her earlier death, resignation or removal.

(b) Persons constituting the executive officers of the Company prior to the Effective Time shall continue to be the executive officers of the Surviving Corporation until the earlier of their death, resignation or removal or until their respective successors are duly appointed.

(c) Immediately following the Second Effective Time (i) Parent shall be the managing member of the Surviving Entity and (ii) the executive officers of the Surviving Corporation shall be the executive officers of the Surviving Entity, in each case, as set forth in the operating agreement of the Surviving Entity.

Section 2.6 Effect of the First Merger. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, at the Effective Time, by virtue of the First Merger and without any further action on the part of Parent, First Merger Sub, the Company, any Company Interest Holder or any holder of any of the securities of Parent, the following shall occur:

(a) (i) Each share of New Company Class V Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be cancelled and automatically deemed for all purposes to represent the right to receive, and the holder of such share of New Company Class V Common Stock shall be entitled to receive, the Per Share Company Stock Consideration pursuant to this Section 2.6(a), issuable in Parent Class V Common Stock, in each case, without interest, upon surrender of stock certificates, if applicable, representing all of such Company Stockholder’s New Company Class V Common Stock (each, a “New Company Class V Common Stock Certificate”) and delivery of the other documents required pursuant to Section 2.8, and (ii) each share of Company Stock (other than Excluded Shares, the shares of New Company Class V Common Stock and shares of unvested Company Restricted Stock) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be cancelled and automatically deemed for all purposes to represent the right to receive, and the holder of such share of Company Stock shall be entitled to receive, the Per Share Company Stock Consideration pursuant to this Section 2.6(a), issuable in Parent Class A Common Stock, in each case, without interest, upon surrender of stock certificates, if any, representing all of such Company Stockholder’s Company Stock (each such certificate and each such New Company Class V Common Stock Certificate, a “Certificate”) and delivery of the other documents required pursuant to Section 2.8. As of the Effective Time, each Company Stockholder shall cease to have any other rights in and to the Company, the Surviving Corporation or the Surviving Entity, and each Certificate relating to the ownership of shares of Company Stock (other than Excluded Shares) shall thereafter represent only the right to receive the Per Share Company Stock Consideration.

(b) Each Company Warrant that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time (whether vested or unvested) will automatically terminate in accordance with its terms and be of no further force or effect as of the Effective Time; provided that the foregoing shall not affect the ability of a holder of any Company Warrants to exercise such Company Warrants in connection with the Transactions pursuant to the terms of such Company Warrants.

(c) Each Company Option that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time (whether vested or unvested) shall automatically be assumed by Parent and converted into an option to acquire a


		A-8

number of shares of Parent Class A Common Stock at an adjusted exercise price per share, in each case, as determined under this Section 2.6(c) (each such resulting option, a “Rollover Option”). Each Rollover Option shall be subject to the same terms and conditions as were applicable to such corresponding Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time (including applicable vesting conditions), except to the extent such terms or conditions are rendered inoperative by the Transactions or such other immaterial administrative or ministerial changes as the Parties may determine are appropriate to effectuate the administration of the Rollover Options. Accordingly, effective as of the Effective Time: (i) each such Rollover Option shall be exercisable solely for shares of Parent Class A Common Stock; (ii) the number of shares of Parent Class A Common Stock subject to each Rollover Option shall be determined by multiplying the number of shares of Company Stock subject to the corresponding Company Option by the Per Share Company Stock Consideration and rounding the resulting number down to the nearest whole number of shares of Parent Class A Common Stock (such shares of Parent Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of a Rollover Option, the “Rollover Option Shares”); and (iii) the per share exercise price for the Rollover Option Shares issuable upon exercise of such Rollover Option shall be determined by dividing the per share exercise price for the shares of Company Stock subject to the Company Option, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, by the Per Share Company Stock Consideration, and rounding the resulting exercise price up to the nearest whole cent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the conversions described in this Section 2.6(c) shall occur in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and, in the case of any Company Option to which Section 422 of the Code applies, the exercise price and the number of shares of Parent Class A Common Stock purchasable pursuant to such option shall be determined in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 424(a) of the Code. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall perform such actions as are required under the Company Stock Plans and the awards governing the Company Options in order to effect the treatment of the Company Options described in this Section 2.6(c).

(d) Each Company Non-Plan Option that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be automatically cancelled for no consideration.

(e) Each award of Company Restricted Stock that is outstanding and unvested immediately prior to the Effective Time shall automatically be assumed by Parent and converted into an award of restricted stock with respect to a number of shares of Parent Class A Common Stock (the “Rollover Restricted Stock”) determined by multiplying the number of shares of Company Restricted Stock subject to such award by the Per Share Company Stock Consideration and rounding the resulting number down to the nearest whole number of shares of Parent Class A Common Stock. Each share of Rollover Restricted Stock shall be subject to the same terms and conditions as were applicable to such corresponding share of Company Restricted Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time (including applicable vesting conditions), except to the extent such terms or conditions are rendered inoperative by the Transactions or such other immaterial administrative or ministerial changes as the Parties may determine are appropriate to effectuate the administration of the Rollover Restricted Stock. The Parties intend that the Rollover Restricted Stock payable pursuant to this Section 2.6(e) to the holders of Company Common Stock (but only with respect to their Company Common Stock which was fully vested upon receipt or for which they have filed timely and valid elections under Section 83(b) of the Code) will be treated as received in exchange for the applicable holder’s Company Common Stock, and agree to report for income Tax purposes such payments as consideration for such holder’s Company Common Stock and not as compensation for services. Pursuant to Revenue Ruling 2007-49, the holders of Company Common Stock that receive Rollover Restricted Stock in the First Merger pursuant to this Section 2.6(e) that are subject to vesting arrangements will make a timely and valid election under Section 83(b) of the Code with respect to such Rollover Restricted Stock, in which case, the Parties agree that no compensation will occur when such Rollover Restricted Stock is issued or vests.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no certificates or scrip representing fractional shares of Parent Class A Common Stock or Parent Class V Common Stock shall be issued upon the conversion of Company Interests, as applicable pursuant to this Section 2.6, and such fractional share interests shall not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any other rights of a holder of Parent Class A Common Stock. No payment shall be made with respect to fractional shares of Parent Class A Common Stock or Parent Class V Common Stock, and the number thereof shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number.


		A-9

(g) Each issued and outstanding share of common stock of First Merger Sub shall be converted into and become one (1) validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Surviving Corporation, which shall constitute the only outstanding shares of capital stock or other equity securities of the Surviving Corporation. From and after the Effective Time, all certificates representing the common stock of First Merger Sub shall be deemed for all purposes to represent the number of shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation into which they were converted in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence.

(h) Other than the shares of common stock contemplated by Section 2.6(g), each share of Company Stock held in the Company’s treasury or owned by Parent, First Merger Sub, Second Merger Sub or the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time (together with the Dissenting Shares, the “Excluded Shares”), shall be cancelled and no consideration shall be paid or payable with respect thereto.

(i) The numbers of shares of Parent Class A Common Stock or Parent Class V Common Stock, as applicable, that the holders of Company Interests are entitled to receive as a result of the First Merger and as otherwise contemplated by this Agreement shall be adjusted to reflect appropriately the effect of any stock split, split-up, reverse stock split, stock dividend or distribution (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into Parent Class A Common Stock or Parent Class V Common Stock), extraordinary cash dividend, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other like change with respect to Parent Class A Common Stock or Parent Class V Common Stock occurring on or after the date hereof and prior to the Closing.

(j) Subject to Section 2.6(i), for the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the aggregate consideration to be received by (other otherwise allocable to) the Company Interest Holders in respect of the First Merger pursuant to this Section 2.6 shall be equal to (and in no event shall exceed) the Aggregate Stock Consideration.

Section 2.7 Effect of the Second Merger. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, at the Second Effective Time, by virtue of the Second Merger and without any action on the part of any Party or any Company Interest Holder or the holders of any shares of capital stock of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or Second Merger Sub: (a) each share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Second Effective Time shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist without any conversion thereof or payment therefor; and (b) the membership interest of Second Merger Sub outstanding immediately prior to the Second Effective Time shall be converted into and become the membership interest of the Surviving Entity, which shall constitute one hundred percent (100%) of the outstanding equity of the Surviving Entity. From and after the Second Effective Time, the membership interests of the Second Merger Sub shall be deemed for all purposes to represent the number of membership interests into which they were converted in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence.

Section 2.8 Disbursement of Aggregate Stock Consideration.

(a) Subject to this Section 2.8, promptly following the Effective Time, Parent shall deliver, or cause to be delivered to each Company Interest Holder (other than holders of Excluded Shares, Company Options and unvested Company Restricted Stock) the portion of the Aggregate Stock Consideration payable to such holder in respect of the Company Interests held by such holder in accordance with the terms of Section 2.6 (as reflected in the Company Closing Statement).

(b) Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall appoint a commercial bank or trust company (the “Exchange Agent”) for the purpose of exchanging Certificates, if applicable, and otherwise distributing to each Company Interest Holder (other than holders of Excluded Shares, Company Options and unvested Company Restricted Stock) the portion of the Aggregate Stock Consideration payable to each such Company Interest Holder in accordance with the terms of Section 2.6.


		A-10

(c) At the Effective Time, Parent shall make available to the Exchange Agent the portion of the Aggregate Stock Consideration required pursuant to the Company Closing Statement to fund the payments set forth in Section 2.6(a) and Section 2.6(e). Such equity deposited with the Exchange Agent shall be referred to in this Agreement as the “Exchange Fund”. At the Effective Time, Parent shall deliver irrevocable instructions to the Exchange Agent to deliver such foregoing portion of the Aggregate Stock Consideration out of the Exchange Fund in the manner it is contemplated to be issued or paid pursuant to this Article II.

(d) Within two (2) Business Days of the Registration Statement becoming effective, the Exchange Agent shall mail to each Company Interest Holder (other than holders of Excluded Shares and holders of Company Options and unvested Company Restricted Stock): (i) a letter of transmittal (the “Letter of Transmittal”) in such form and having such other provisions as Parent and the Company may reasonably agree; and (ii) instructions for surrendering Certificates representing Company Stock (or affidavits of loss in lieu of the Certificates as provided in Section 2.8(g)), if applicable, to the Exchange Agent (the “Surrender Documentation”). Subject to the receipt by the Exchange Agent of the completed Letter of Transmittal and the Surrender Documentation, the Exchange Agent will deliver to such Company Interest Holder, on the Closing Date or as promptly as practicable thereafter, the portion of the Aggregate Stock Consideration payable to such holder in respect of the Company Interests held by such Company Interest Holder in accordance with the terms of Section 2.6, less any required Tax withholdings as provided in Section 2.9. All Certificates surrendered by the Company Stockholders shall forthwith be cancelled. Until a Letter of Transmittal and, if applicable, Surrender Documentation, has been received by the Exchange Agent, each Company Interest shall represent after the Effective Time for all purposes only the right to receive the portion of the Aggregate Stock Consideration payable in respect of such Company Interest pursuant to Section 2.6. No interest will be paid or accrued on any amount payable upon due submission of any Letter of Transmittal or, if applicable, Surrender Documentation.

(e) In the event of a transfer of ownership of shares of Company Stock that is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, the Per Share Company Stock Consideration to be delivered upon due surrender of the Certificate may be issued to such transferee if the Certificate formerly representing such shares of Company Stock is presented to the Exchange Agent, accompanied by all documents required to evidence and effect such transfer and to evidence that any applicable stock transfer Taxes have been paid or are not applicable. From and after the Effective Time, there shall be no transfers on the transfer books of the Company of any shares of Company Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, any Certificate is presented to the Surviving Corporation, the Surviving Entity, Parent or the Exchange Agent for transfer, it shall be cancelled and deemed exchanged for (without interest and after giving effect to any required Tax withholdings as provided in Section 2.9) the aggregate Per Share Company Stock Consideration represented by such Certificate, as applicable.

(f) Any portion of the Exchange Fund (including the proceeds of any investments of the Exchange Fund) that remains unclaimed by the holders of Company Interests for one hundred eighty (180) days after the Effective Time shall be delivered to the Surviving Entity. Any Company Interest Holder who has not theretofore complied with this Article II shall thereafter look only to the Surviving Entity for payment of their respective portion of the Aggregate Stock Consideration (after giving effect to any required Tax withholdings as provided in Section 2.9). Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Surviving Corporation, the Surviving Entity, Parent, the Exchange Agent or any other Person shall be liable to any former Company Interest Holder for any amount properly delivered to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws.

(g) In the event any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed: (i) upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed; and (ii) if required by Parent, the posting by such Person of a bond in customary amount and upon such terms as may be required by Parent as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it, the Surviving Corporation or the Surviving Entity with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent will issue the portion of the Aggregate Stock Consideration attributable to such Certificate (after giving effect to any required Tax withholdings as provided in Section 2.9).


		A-11

Section 2.9 Withholding Taxes. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each of Parent, First Merger Sub, Second Merger Sub, the Company, the Surviving Corporation, the Surviving Entity and their respective Affiliates and Representatives shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration or other amounts otherwise deliverable or payable under this Agreement such amounts that any such Persons are required to deduct and withhold under the Code or any other applicable Tax Law. To the extent that Parent, First Merger Sub, Second Merger Sub, the Company, the Surviving Corporation, the Surviving Entity or their respective Affiliates or Representatives withholds such amounts with respect to any Person and pays such withheld amounts to the applicable Governmental Entity, such withheld amounts shall be treated as having been paid to or on behalf of such Person for all purposes. In the case of any such payment payable to employees of the Company or its Affiliates in connection with the Mergers treated as compensation for applicable Tax purposes, the Parties shall cooperate to pay such amounts through the Company’s payroll to facilitate applicable withholding.

Section 2.10 Appraisal Rights.

(a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary and to the extent available under the DGCL, shares of Company Stock that are outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and that are held by Company Stockholders who shall have neither voted in favor of the First Merger nor consented thereto in writing in respect of such Company Stock and who shall have demanded properly in writing appraisal for such Company Stock in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL, and otherwise complied with all of the provisions of the DGCL relevant to the exercise and perfection of appraisal rights (collectively, the “Dissenting Shares”), shall not be converted into, and such Company Stockholders shall have no right to receive, the Per Share Company Stock Consideration that would otherwise be attributable to such Dissenting Shares in accordance with Section 2.6 (as reflected in the Company Closing Statement) unless and until such Company Stockholder fails to perfect or withdraws or otherwise loses his, her or its right to appraisal and payment under the DGCL. Any Company Stockholder who fails to perfect or who effectively withdraws or otherwise loses his, her or its rights to appraisal of such Dissenting Shares under Section 262 of the DGCL (or other applicable Law), shall thereupon be deemed to have been converted into, and to have become exchangeable for, as of the Effective Time, the right to receive the Per Share Company Stock Consideration attributable to such Dissenting Shares in accordance with the terms of the Company’s Charter Documents (as reflected in the Company Closing Statement), without any interest thereon, upon surrender, in the manner provided in Section 2.8, of the Certificate or Certificates that formerly evidenced such Dissenting Shares.

(b) Prior to the Closing, the Company shall give Parent (i) prompt written notice of any demands for appraisal received by the Company and any withdrawals of such demands, and (ii) the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings (including the defense and any settlement thereof) with respect to demands for appraisal under the DGCL. The Company will enforce any contractual waivers that Company Stockholders have granted regarding appraisal rights that apply to the Transactions. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal or offer to settle or settle any such demands.

Section 2.11 Taking of Necessary Action; Further Actions. If, at any time after the Effective Time or the Second Effective Time, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and to vest the Surviving Corporation following the First Merger and the Surviving Entity following the Second Merger with full right, title and possession to all assets, property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company, First Merger Sub and Second Merger Sub, the officers and directors or members, as applicable, (or their designees) of the Company, First Merger Sub and Second Merger Sub are fully authorized in the name of their respective corporations or otherwise to take, and will take, all such lawful and necessary action, so long as such action is not inconsistent with this Agreement.

Section 2.12 Tax Treatment of the Mergers. The Parties intend that, for United States federal income tax purposes, the Mergers constitute an integrated plan described in Rev. Rul. 2001-46, 2001-2 C.B. 321 that qualifies as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations to which each of Parent and the Company are to be parties under Section 368(b) of the Code and the Treasury


		A-12

Regulations (the “Intended Tax Treatment”) and this Agreement is intended to be, and is adopted as, a plan of reorganization for purposes of Sections 354, 361 and the 368 of the Code and within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.368-2(g). None of the Parties knows of any fact or circumstance (without conducting independent inquiry or diligence of the other relevant Parties), or has taken or will take any action, whether before or after the Mergers, if such fact, circumstance or action would be reasonably expected to cause the Mergers, taken together, to fail to qualify for the Intended Tax Treatment. The Mergers, taken together, shall be reported by the Parties for all Tax purposes in accordance with the Intended Tax Treatment, including the filing of the statement required by Treasury Regulations Section 1.368-3, unless otherwise required by a Governmental Entity as a result of (a) a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code or (b) a change in applicable Law after the date of this Agreement. The Parties shall reasonably cooperate with each other and their respective counsel to document and support the Intended Tax Treatment, including providing support letters of the sort customarily provided as the basis for a legal opinion that the Mergers qualify for the Intended Tax Treatment. For the avoidance of doubt, (i) the qualification of the Mergers for the Intended Tax Treatment will not be a condition to Closing; and (ii) nothing in this Section 2.12 shall prevent any Party or its Affiliates or Representatives from settling, or require any of them to litigate, any challenge or other similar proceeding by any Governmental Entity with respect to the Intended Tax Treatment.

ARTICLE III

FOUNDER HOLDER EARNOUT SHARES

Section 3.1 Potential Forfeiture. In accordance with the Founder Holder Agreement, the Founder Holders have agreed that, effective upon the Closing, the Founder Holders will, on a Pro Rata Basis, subject one million five hundred eighty-six thousand thirty-seven (1,586,037) shares of Parent Class A Common Stock owned by the Founder Holders (the “Founder Holder Earnout Shares”) to potential forfeiture if the Triggering Events do not occur during the Earnout Period, with such Founder Holder Earnout Shares vesting (and therefore no longer subject to forfeiture) pursuant to the terms of this Article III. Until the occurrence of the applicable Triggering Event, certificates representing the Founder Holder Earnout Shares shall bear a legend referencing that they are subject to forfeiture pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, and any transfer agent for Parent Class A Common Stock will be given appropriate stop transfer orders that will be applicable until the Founder Holder Earnout Shares are vested; provided, however, that upon the vesting of any Founder Holder Earnout Shares in accordance with the terms herein, Parent shall immediately cause the removal of such legend and direct such transfer agent that such stop transfer orders are no longer applicable. For the avoidance of doubt, each Triggering Event shall only occur once, if at all.

Section 3.2 Vesting. Until the earlier of all of the Founder Holder Earnout Shares having become fully vested or the expiry of the Earnout Period:

(a) sixty percent (60%) of the Founder Holder Earnout Shares (i.e., nine hundred fifty-one thousand six hundred twenty-two (951,622) Founder Holder Earnout Shares) shall immediately become fully vested and no longer subject to forfeiture upon the occurrence of Triggering Event I; and

(b) the remaining Founder Holder Earnout Shares (i.e., six hundred thirty-four thousand four hundred fifteen (634,415) Founder Holder Earnout Shares) shall immediately become fully vested and no longer subject to forfeiture upon the occurrence of Triggering Event II.

Section 3.3 Adjustment. If, and as often as, the outstanding shares of Parent Class A Common Stock are changed into a different number of shares or a different class, by reason of any dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split, combination or exchange, or any similar event after the date hereof, then the number of Founder Holder Earnout Shares to be surrendered or forfeited pursuant to this Article III will in each case be equitably adjusted to reflect such change.

Section 3.4 Dividends and Distributions. To the extent any dividends or other distributions are paid or otherwise made by Parent (including, without limitation, any shares of Parent Common Stock or other equity


		A-13

securities of Parent distributed in connection with a share split, share dividend, or reclassification, or through merger, amalgamation, consolidation, recapitalization or other similar event) during the Earnout Period, and the Founder Holders would have been entitled to such dividends or other distributions in respect of the Founder Holder Earnout Shares if such Founder Holder Earnout Shares were not subject to forfeiture as of the record date for such dividends or other distributions, Parent shall hold such portion of such dividends or other distributions in escrow or a segregated account for the benefit of the Founder Holders, and (i) in the event all or any portion of the Founder Holder Earnout Shares are earned in accordance with Article III, the portion of such dividends or other distributions in respect of the Founder Holder Earnout Shares so earned shall be released to the Founder Holders, on a Pro Rata Basis, at the time the such Founder Holder Earnout Shares are earned in accordance with this Article III or (ii) in the event all or any portion of the Founder Holder Earnout Shares are forfeited in accordance with this Article III, the portion of such dividends or other distributions in respect of the Founder Holder Earnout Shares so forfeited shall be released to Parent and may be otherwise available for distribution to the holders of the other shares of Parent Common Stock.

(b) The financial statements and notes contained or incorporated by reference in the Parent SEC Reports fairly present in all material respects the financial condition and the results of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows of Parent as at the respective dates of, and for the periods referred to, in such financial statements, all in accordance with: (i) GAAP; and (ii) Regulation S-X promulgated under the Securities Act (“Regulation S-X”) or Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Act (“Regulation S-K”) Regulation S-K, as applicable, subject, in the case of interim financial statements, to normal recurring year-end adjustments (the effect of which will not, individually or in the aggregate, be material) and the omission of notes, or the inclusion of limited notes, and other presentation items for normal year-end adjustments to the extent permitted by Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K, as applicable, other than, in each case, as may relate to, arise out of or be in connection with the Warrant Accounting Issue. Parent has no off-balance sheet arrangements that are not disclosed in the Parent SEC Reports. No financial statements other than those of Parent are required by GAAP to be included in the consolidated financial statements of Parent.

(c) There is no liability, debt or obligation (absolute, accrued, contingent or otherwise) of any of the Parent or its Subsidiaries of the nature required to be disclosed or reserved for in a balance sheet prepared in accordance with GAAP, (x) except, in each case, as may relate to, arise out of or be in connection with the Warrant Accounting Issue and (y) except for liabilities, debts and obligations: (a) provided for in, or otherwise reflected or reserved for the financial statements and notes contained or incorporated by reference in the Parent SEC Reports; (b) that have arisen since the date of the most recent balance sheet included in the financial statements and notes contained or incorporated by reference in the Parent SEC Reports in the ordinary course of the operation of business of Parent; (c) incurred in connection with the Transactions; (d) that will be discharged or paid off prior to or at the Closing; or (e) that would not be material to the business of Parent and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

Except as set forth in Parent’s Charter Documents, there is no Contract or Order binding upon Parent, First Merger Sub or Second Merger Sub or to which any of them is a party which has or could reasonably be expected to have the effect of prohibiting or materially impairing any business practice of it, any acquisition of property by it or the conduct of business by it as currently conducted or as currently contemplated to be conducted as of the Closing, other than such effects, individually or in the aggregate, which would not reasonably be expected to be material to Parent. Parent does not own or have a right to acquire, directly or indirectly, any interest or investment (whether equity or debt) in any corporation, partnership, joint venture, business, trust or other entity. Except for this Agreement and the Transactions, neither Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries has any interests, rights, obligations or liabilities with respect to, or is party to, bound by or has its assets or property subject to, in each case whether directly or indirectly, any Contract or transaction which is, or could reasonably be interpreted as constituting, a Business Combination. Except for this Agreement, the Trust Agreement, the Transaction Agreements, and the Contracts set forth on Section 5.10 of the Parent Disclosure Letter, neither Parent, First Merger Sub nor Second Merger Sub are party to any Contract with any other Person that would require payments by Parent, First Merger Sub or Second Merger Sub in excess of


		A-40

twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000) monthly or two hundred fifty thousand dollars ($250,000) in the aggregate.

Section 5.11 Parent Material Contracts. Section 5.11 of the Parent Disclosure Letter sets forth a true, correct and complete list of each “material contract” (as such term is defined in Regulation S-K) to which Parent, First Merger Sub or Second Merger Sub is party, including Contracts by and among Parent, First Merger Sub or Second Merger Sub, on the one hand, and any director, officer, stockholder or Affiliate of such Parties (the “Parent Material Contracts”), other than any such Parent Material Contract that is listed as an exhibit to any Parent SEC Report or listed on Section 5.10 of the Parent Disclosure Letter.

Section 5.12 Parent Listing. The issued and outstanding Parent Units are registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act and listed for trading on The New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the symbol “VPCC.U”. The issued and outstanding shares of Parent Class A Common Stock are registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act and are listed for trading on NYSE under the symbol “VPCC”. The issued and outstanding Parent Warrants are registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act and are listed for trading on NYSE under the symbol “VPCC WS”. Parent has not been notified by NYSE that it does not comply with any NYSE listing rule, which noncompliance is not subject to any compliance extension or ability to remedy, in each case as permitted by the NYSE continued listing rules. There is no action or proceeding pending or, to the Knowledge of Parent, threatened in writing against Parent by NYSE or the SEC with respect to any intention by such entity to deregister the Parent Units, the shares of Parent Class A Common Stock or Parent Warrants or terminate the listing of the Parent Units, the shares of Parent Class A Common Stock or Parent Warrants on NYSE, other than Legal Proceedings where a compliance extension or ability to remedy is available under applicable Law. None of Parent or any of its Affiliates has taken any action in an attempt to intentionally terminate the registration of the Parent Units, the Parent Class A Common Stock or Parent Warrants under the Exchange Act.

Section 5.13 PIPE Investment Amount. Parent has delivered to the Company true, accurate and complete copies of each of the subscription agreements (the “Subscription Agreements”) entered into by Parent with the PIPE Investors, pursuant to which the PIPE Investors have committed to provide equity financing to Parent in the aggregate amount of two hundred ten million dollars ($210,000,000) (the “PIPE Investment Amount”). To Parent’s Knowledge, with respect to each PIPE Investor, the Subscription Agreements are in full force and effect and have not been withdrawn or terminated, or otherwise amended or modified in any respect (it being understood that an assignment of any PIPE Investor’s rights and obligations in accordance with the terms of the applicable Subscription Agreement or any action permitted by Section 7.20 shall not be deemed a violation of the foregoing), and no withdrawal, termination, amendment or modification is contemplated by Parent, except in each case for such assignments of subscription obligations contemplated by or permitted by the Subscription Agreements or permitted by Section 7.20. Each Subscription Agreement is a legal, valid and binding obligation of Parent and, to Parent’s Knowledge, each PIPE Investor, subject to the Remedies Exception. Except as set forth on Section 5.13 of the Parent Disclosure Letter, there are no other agreements, side letters, or arrangements between Parent and any PIPE Investor relating to any Subscription Agreement, that could affect the obligation of the PIPE Investors to contribute to Parent the applicable portion of the PIPE Investment Amount set forth in the Subscription Agreements, and, as of the date hereof, Parent does not know of any facts or circumstances that would reasonably be expected to result in any of the conditions set forth in any Subscription Agreement not being satisfied, or the PIPE Investment Amount not being available to Parent, on the Closing Date. No event has occurred that, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would constitute a default or breach on the part of Parent under any material term or condition of any Subscription Agreement and, as of the date hereof, Parent has no reason to believe that it will be unable to satisfy in all material respects on a timely basis any material term or condition of closing to be satisfied by it contained in any Subscription Agreement. The Subscription Agreements contain all of the conditions precedent (other than the conditions contained in the other Transaction Agreements) to the obligations of the PIPE Investors to contribute to Parent the applicable portion of the PIPE Investment Amount set forth in the Subscription Agreements on the terms therein.

Section 5.14 Trust Account.

(a) As of the date hereof, Parent has two hundred fifty-three million seven hundred seventy-seven thousand eight hundred fifty dollars and forty-three cents ($253,777,850.43) in a trust account (the “Trust Account”), maintained and invested pursuant to that certain Investment Management Trust Agreement (the “Trust Agreement”), effective as of March 4, 2021, by and between Parent and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, a New York corporation (the “Trustee”), for the benefit of the Parent Public Stockholders, with such funds invested in United States government securities or money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act.

(b) The Trust Agreement has not been amended or modified in any material respect and, to the Knowledge of Parent with respect to the Trustee, is valid and in full force and effect and is enforceable in accordance with its terms, except insofar as enforceability may be limited by the Remedies Exception. Parent has performed all material obligations required to be performed by it as of the date hereof under, and complied in all material respects with the terms of the Trust Agreement and is not in breach thereof or default thereunder and there does not exist under the Trust Agreement any event which, with the giving of notice or the lapse of time, would constitute such a material breach or default by Parent or, to the Knowledge of Parent, the Trustee. There are no separate Contracts, side letters or other understandings (whether written or unwritten, express or implied) that would cause the description of the Trust Agreement in the Parent SEC Reports to be inaccurate in any material respect or that would entitle any Person (other than (x) Parent Stockholders who elect to redeem their shares of Parent Class A Common Stock pursuant to Parent’s Charter Documents, including pursuant to the Parent Stockholder Redemptions, (y) the underwriters of Parent’s initial public offering with respect to any deferred underwriting compensation and (z) Parent with respect to income earned on the proceeds in the Trust Account in order to pay Taxes in accordance with Parent’s Charter Documents) to any portion of the proceeds in the Trust Account. Prior to the Closing, none of the funds held in the Trust Account may be released except: (A) to pay income and franchise taxes from any interest income earned in the Trust Account and Tax obligations; (B) in accordance with the Trust Agreement; and (C) to redeem Parent Class A Common Stock in accordance with the provisions of Parent’s Charter Documents. There are no Legal Proceedings pending or, to the Knowledge of Parent, threatened in writing with respect to the Trust Account. As of the Effective Time, the obligations of Parent to dissolve or liquidate pursuant to Parent’s Charter Documents in effect as of immediately prior to the adoption of the Parent A&R Charter and Parent A&R Bylaws shall terminate and, as of the Effective Time, Parent shall have no obligation whatsoever pursuant to Parent’s Charter Documents in effect as of immediately prior to the adoption of the Parent A&R Charter and Parent A&R Bylaws to dissolve and liquidate the assets of Parent by reason of the consummation of the Transactions contemplated hereby. To Knowledge of Parent, as of the date hereof, following the Effective Time, none of the Parent Stockholders shall be entitled to receive any amount from the Trust Account except to the extent such Parent Stockholder is exercising a Parent Stockholder Redemption. As of the date hereof, assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Company contained herein and the compliance by the Company with its obligations hereunder, Parent does have any reason to believe that any of the conditions to the use of funds in the Trust Account will not be satisfied or funds available in the Trust Account will not be available to Parent on the Closing Date.

Section 5.15 Taxes.

(a) All income and other material Tax Returns filed or required to be filed by Parent and its Subsidiaries have been timely filed (taking into account any applicable extensions), and all such Tax Returns are true, correct and complete in all material respects, and accurately reflect all liability for Taxes of Parent and its Subsidiaries for the periods covered thereby.

(e) No deficiency for Taxes has been asserted or assessed in writing by any Governmental Entity against Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, which deficiency has not been paid in full or finally resolved with no payment due. No audit or other Legal Proceeding by any Governmental Entity is currently pending or threatened in writing against Parent or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to Taxes; nor has Parent or any of its Subsidiaries been the subject of any such audit or other Legal Proceeding within the past five (5) years. There are no requests for rulings or determinations in respect of any Tax pending between the Parent or its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and any Governmental Entity, on the other hand.

(k) None of Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries has consented to extend the time in which any Tax may be assessed or collected by any Governmental Entity, which extension is still in effect, and neither Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries has requested, granted, or become the beneficiary of any extension or waiver of any statute of limitations period with respect to Taxes, which period (after giving effect to such extension or waiver) has not yet expired. Parent and its Subsidiaries are not presently contesting any Tax liability before any taxing authority or other Governmental Entity.

(l) Neither Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries has ever had a permanent establishment and has never been subject to income Tax, in a jurisdiction outside the country of its organization.

(b) The Company and Parent shall each use its reasonable best efforts to (i) cause the Registration Statement, when filed with the SEC, to comply in all material respects with all legal requirements applicable thereto, (ii) promptly provide responses to the SEC with respect to all comments received on Merger Materials from the SEC, (iii) cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as practicable after such filing and (iv) keep the Registration Statement effective as long as is necessary to consummate the Transactions contemplated hereby.

Each party shall furnish all information concerning it and its Affiliates to the other party and provide such other assistance as may be reasonably requested by the other party to be included in the Merger Materials and shall otherwise reasonably assist and cooperate with the other party in the preparation of the Merger Materials and the resolution of any comments received from the SEC.

For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Merger Materials” shall mean the Registration Statement, including the prospectus forming a part thereof, the Parent Proxy Statement, and any amendments thereto.

(c) If any information relating to the Company or Parent, or any of their respective Affiliates, directors or officers, should be discovered by the Company or Parent which is required to be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Merger Materials so that such document would not include any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the party which discovers such information shall promptly notify the other party and an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information shall be promptly filed with the SEC and, to the extent required by and in compliance with applicable Law, disseminated to the Parent Stockholders. Parent shall promptly notify the Company of the receipt of any comments from the SEC or the staff of the SEC and of any request by the SEC or the staff of the SEC for amendments or supplements to the Merger Materials or for additional information concerning the Merger Materials or the Mergers and shall, as promptly as practicable after receipt thereof, supply the Company with copies of all written correspondence between it or any of its Representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC or the staff of the SEC, on the other hand, or, if not in writing, a description of such communication, with respect to the Merger Materials or the Mergers. Parent will advise the Company, promptly after Parent receives notice thereof, of the time of effectiveness of the Registration Statement or any supplement or amendment has been filed, of the issuance of a stop order relating thereto or of the suspension of the qualification of the Parent Class A Common Stock issuable in the First Merger, and Parent and the Company will each use its reasonable best efforts to have


		A-55

any such stop order or suspension lifted, reversed or otherwise terminated. No filing of, or amendment or supplement to the Merger Materials, or response to any comments from the SEC or the staff of the SEC relating to the Merger Materials, will be made by Parent without the prior written consent of the Company (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and without providing the Company a reasonable opportunity to review and comment thereon unless pursuant to a telephone call initiated by the SEC. Parent shall be permitted to make all necessary filings with respect to the Transactions under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and applicable blue sky Laws and the rules and regulations thereunder; provided that, prior to Parent making any such filings, the Company shall be given an opportunity to review and provide comments, which comments Parent will consider in good faith.

Section 7.4 Company Stockholder Approval; Company Change in Recommendation.

(a) As promptly as practicable following the date upon which the Registration Statement becomes effective, the Company shall solicit written consents from the Company Stockholders to approve, by the requisite consent of the Company Stockholders under the DGCL and the Company’s Governance Documents, this Agreement, the other Transaction Agreements, the First Merger and the other Transactions (the “Requisite Company Stockholder Approval”)in accordance with Section 228 of the DGCL and the Company’s Governance Documents. In connection therewith, prior to the date upon which the Registration Statement becomes effective, the Company Board shall set a record date for determining the Company Stockholders entitled to provide such written consent in accordance with the Company’s Governance Documents. The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the Written Consent Parties to duly execute and deliver stockholder written consents in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit F (the “Stockholder Written Consent”) in respect of the Company Stock beneficially owned by each such Written Consent Party (which Company Stock represents the Requisite Company Stockholder Approval) within two (2) Business Days of the Registration Statement becoming effective. As promptly as possible following the execution and delivery of the Stockholder Written Consents by the Written Consent Parties to the Company, the Company shall deliver to Parent a copy of such Stockholder Written Consent in accordance with Section 11.1. Promptly (but in any event within two (2) Business Days) following the receipt of the Requisite Company Stockholder Approval via the Stockholder Written Consent, the Company will prepare (subject to the reasonable approval of Parent) and deliver to the Company Stockholders who have not executed and delivered the Stockholder Written Consent the notice required by Section 228(e) of the DGCL and include a description of the appraisal rights of the Company Stockholders available under Section 262 of the DGCL, along with such other information as is required thereunder and pursuant to applicable Law (the “Company Information Statement”). If any Written Consent Party fails to deliver its Stockholder Written Consent to the Company within two (2) Business Days of the Registration Statement becoming effective (a “Written Consent Failure”), Parent shall have the right to terminate this Agreement as set forth in Section 9.1(k).

(b) The Company Information Statement shall include the Company Recommendation. Neither the Company Board nor any committee thereof shall: (i) withdraw, modify, amend or qualify (or propose to withdraw, modify, amend or qualify publicly or to any Company Stockholder) the Company Recommendation, or fail to include the Company Recommendation in the Company Information Statement; (ii) approve, recommend or declare advisable (or publicly propose to do so) any Company Acquisition Proposal or Company Acquisition Transaction; (iii) fail to publicly announce, within three (3) Business Days after a tender offer or exchange offer relating to the equity securities of the Company (other than the Transactions) shall have been commenced by any third party other than Parent and its Affiliates, a statement disclosing that the Company Board recommends rejection of such tender or exchange offer (for the avoidance of doubt, the taking of no position or a neutral position by the Company Board in respect of the acceptance of any such tender offer or exchange offer as of the end of such period shall constitute a failure to publicly announce that the Company Board recommends rejection of such tender or exchange offer); or (iv) if requested by Parent, fail to issue, within three (3) Business Days after a Company Acquisition Proposal (other than any tender offer or exchange offer) is publicly announced, a press release reaffirming the Company Recommendation (it being understood that the Company will have no obligation to make such reaffirmation on more than two separate occasions) (any action described in clauses (i) through (iv) being referred to as a “Company Change in Recommendation”); or (v) cause


		A-56

or permit the Company to enter into any contract, letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement in principle or other understanding contemplating or relating to a Company Acquisition Transaction, or any other action or omission prohibited by Section 7.1.

(c) Notwithstanding any Company Change in Recommendation, unless this Agreement has been earlier validly terminated in accordance with Section 9.1, the Company shall solicit the Requisite Company Stockholder Approval in accordance with Section 7.4(a), including using reasonable best efforts to cause all Company Stockholders to duly execute and deliver the Stockholder Written Consent, and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to relieve the Company of such obligation.

(d) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit the Company, the Company Board or their Representatives from directing any Person (or the Representative of that Person) who makes a Company Acquisition Proposal to the provisions of this Section 7.4; provided, however, that no such communication or statement that would constitute a Company Change in Recommendation shall be permitted.

Section 7.5 Parent Special Meeting; Parent Change in Recommendation.

(a) Parent shall, as promptly as practicable following the date upon which the Registration Statement becomes effective, cause a special meeting of the Parent Stockholders (the “Parent Special Meeting”) to be duly called and held as soon as reasonably practicable for the purpose of obtaining the Requisite Parent Stockholder Approval and Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the Requisite Parent Stockholder Approval at the Parent Special Meeting. In connection therewith, promptly following the date upon which the Registration Statement becomes effective, the Parent Board shall set a record date for determining the Parent Stockholders entitled to vote at the Parent Special Meeting. Parent shall comply with Law and all legal requirements applicable to such meeting, including the DGCL, Parent’s Charter Documents and the Exchange Act, including Regulation 14A and Schedule 14A promulgated thereunder, as applicable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Parent shall be entitled to postpone or adjourn the Parent Special Meeting only: (i) to ensure that any supplement or amendment to the Parent Proxy Statement that the Parent Board has reasonably determined in good faith after consultation with Parent’s outside legal counsel is required by applicable Law is disclosed to the Parent Stockholders and for such supplement or amendment to be promptly disseminated to the Parent Stockholders prior to the Parent Special Meeting; (ii) if, as of the time for which the Parent Special Meeting is originally scheduled (as set forth in the Parent Proxy Statement), there are insufficient shares of Parent Common Stock represented (either in person or by proxy) to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct the business to be conducted at the Parent Special Meeting; or (iii) in order to solicit additional proxies from stockholders for purposes of obtaining the Requisite Parent Stockholder Approval; provided, that (A) in the event of a postponement or adjournment pursuant to clauses (i), (ii), or (iii) above, the Parent Special Meeting shall be reconvened as promptly as practicable and in any event no later than five (5) Business Days after the date that such matters are resolved and (B) in no event shall the Parent Special Meeting be held later than three (3) Business Days prior to the Outside Date without the prior written consent of the Company.

(b) The Parent Proxy Statement shall include the Parent Recommendation. Neither the Parent Board nor any committee thereof shall: (i) withdraw, modify, amend or qualify (or publicly propose to withdraw, modify, amend or qualify) the Parent Recommendation, or fail to include the Parent Recommendation in the Parent Proxy Statement; (ii) approve, recommend or declare advisable (or publicly propose to do so) any Parent Acquisition Proposal; (iii) fail to publicly announce, within ten (10) Business Days after a tender offer or exchange offer relating to the equity securities of Parent (other than the Transactions) shall have been commenced by any third party (and in no event later than one (1) Business Day prior to the date of the Parent Special Meeting, as it may be postponed or adjourned pursuant to Section 7.5(a)), a statement disclosing that the Parent Board recommends rejection of such tender or exchange offer (for the avoidance of doubt, the taking of no position or a neutral position by the Parent Board in respect of the acceptance of any such tender offer or exchange offer as of the end of such period shall constitute a failure to publicly announce that the Parent Board recommends rejection of such tender or exchange offer); (iv) if requested by the Company, fail to issue, within ten (10) Business Days after a Parent Acquisition Proposal (other than any tender offer or exchange offer) is publicly announced (and in no


		A-57

event later than one (1) Business Day prior to the date of the Parent Special Meeting, as it may be postponed or adjourned pursuant to Section 7.5(a)), a press release reaffirming the Parent Recommendation (any action described in clauses (i) through (iv) being referred to as a “Parent Change in Recommendation”); or (v) cause or permit Parent to enter into any contract, letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement in principle or other understanding contemplating or relating to a Parent Acquisition Transaction.

(c) Notwithstanding any Parent Change in Recommendation, unless this Agreement has been earlier validly terminated in accordance with Section 9.1, the Parent Stockholder Matters shall be submitted to the Parent Stockholders at the Parent Special Meeting for the purpose of obtaining the Requisite Parent Stockholder Approval and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to relieve Parent of such obligation.

(d) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit Parent, the Parent Board or their Representatives from (i) taking and disclosing to the Parent Stockholders a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a) or Rule 14d-9 promulgated under the Exchange Act or issuing a “stop, look and listen” statement to the Parent Stockholders pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act pending disclosure of its position thereunder or (ii) directing any Person (or the Representative of that Person) who makes a Parent Acquisition Proposal to the provisions of this Section 7.5; provided, however, that in the case of clause (ii), no such communication or statement that would constitute a Parent Change in Recommendation shall be permitted, made or taken.

Section 7.6 Regulatory Approvals. Within ten (10) Business Days after the date hereof, Parent and the Company shall each prepare and file the notification required of it under the HSR Act in connection with the Transactions and shall promptly and in good faith respond to all information requested of it by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission, U.S. Department of Justice, or any other Governmental Entity in connection with such notification and otherwise cooperate in good faith with each other and such Governmental Entities. Each Party will promptly furnish to the other such information and assistance as the other may reasonably request in connection with its preparation of any filing or submission that is necessary under the HSR Act and will use reasonable best efforts to cause the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting periods as soon as practicable, including by requesting early termination of the HSR waiting period. Neither Parent nor the Company shall, and each shall use reasonable best efforts to cause their respective Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly take any action, including, directly or indirectly, acquiring or investing in any Person or acquiring, leasing or licensing any assets, or agreement to do any of the foregoing, if doing so would reasonably be expected to impose any material delay in the obtaining of, or significantly increase the risk of not obtaining, any required approval under the HSR Act. Each Party will promptly provide the other with copies of all substantive written communications (and memoranda setting forth the substance of all substantive oral communications) between each of them, any of their Subsidiaries and their respective agents, representatives and advisors, on the one hand, and any Governmental Entity, on the other hand, with respect to this Agreement or the Transactions. Without limiting the foregoing, Parent and the Company shall: (i) promptly inform the other of any communication to or from the U.S. Federal Trade Commission, the U.S. Department of Justice or any other Governmental Entity regarding the Transactions; (ii) permit each other to review in advance any proposed substantive written communication to any such Governmental Entity and incorporate reasonable comments thereto; (iii) give the other prompt written notice of the commencement of any Legal Proceeding with respect to such Transactions; (iv) not agree to participate in any substantive meeting or discussion with any such Governmental Entity in respect of any filing, investigation or inquiry concerning this Agreement or the Transactions unless, to the extent reasonably practicable, it consults with the other Party in advance and, to the extent permitted by such Governmental Entity, gives the other Party the opportunity to attend; (v) keep the other reasonably informed as to the status of any such Legal Proceeding; and (vi) promptly furnish each other with copies of all correspondence, filings (except for filings made under the HSR Act) and written communications between such Party and their Subsidiaries and their respective agents, representatives and advisors, on one hand, and any such Governmental Entity, on the other hand, in each case, with respect to this Agreement and the Transactions; provided that materials required to be supplied pursuant to this section may be redacted (1) to remove references concerning the valuation of the Company, (2) as necessary to comply with contractual arrangements, (3) as necessary to comply with applicable Law, and (4) as necessary to address reasonable privilege or confidentiality concerns; provided further, that a Party may reasonably designate any competitively


		A-58

sensitive material provided to another party under this Section 7.6 as “Outside Counsel Only”. Parent, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, shall each pay fifty percent (50%) of any filing fees required by Governmental Entities, including with respect to any registrations, declarations and filings required in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the performance of the obligations hereunder and the consummation of the Transactions, including filing fees in connection with filings under the HSR Act, which fees shall be considered Parent Transaction Costs and Company Transaction Costs, respectively for purposes of this Agreement.

(a) As promptly as practicable after execution of this Agreement, Parent will prepare and file a Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Signing Form 8-K”) pursuant to the Exchange Act to report the execution of this Agreement, the form and substance of which shall be approved in advance in writing by the Company (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(b) Promptly after the execution of this Agreement, Parent and the Company shall also issue a joint press release announcing the execution of this Agreement (the “Signing Press Release”).

(c) At least three (3) days prior to the Closing, the Company shall prepare a draft Current Report on Form 8-K announcing the Closing, together with, or incorporating by reference, the financial statements prepared by the Company and its accountant, and such other information that may be required to be disclosed with respect to the Transactions in any report or form to be filed with the SEC (“Closing Form 8-K”), the form and substance of which shall be approved in advance in writing by Parent (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Prior to the Closing, Parent and the Company shall prepare a mutually agreeable joint press release announcing the consummation of the Transactions hereunder (“Closing Press Release”). Substantially concurrently with the Closing, Parent shall issue the Closing Press Release. Concurrently with the Closing, or as soon as practicable thereafter (but in any event within four (4) Business Days thereafter), Parent shall file the Closing Form 8-K with the SEC. During the Interim Period, in connection with the preparation of the Signing Form 8-K, the Closing Form 8-K, the Signing Press Release, the Closing Press Release, or any other statement, filing, notice, application, report or form (including any amendments or supplements thereto) made or filed by or on behalf of a Party to or with any Governmental Entity (including the SEC) in connection with the Transaction (“Reviewable Documents”), each Party shall, upon request by the other Party, furnish all information concerning it and its Affiliates to the other Party (which information provided shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not materially misleading), and provide such other assistance as may be reasonably requested by the other Party to be included in the Closing Form 8-K or the Closing Press Release and shall otherwise reasonably assist and cooperate with the other Party in the preparation of the Closing Form 8-K and the Closing Press Release and the resolution of any comments received from the SEC with respect thereto.

(e) During the Interim Period, Parent will keep current and timely file all reports required to be filed or furnished with the SEC and otherwise comply in all material respects with its reporting obligations under applicable Laws.

(f) Parent shall, at all times during the Interim Period: (i) take all actions necessary to continue to qualify as an “emerging growth company” within the meaning of the JOBS Act; and (ii) not take any action that would

Section 7.8 Confidentiality; Communications Plan; Access to Information.

(a) Parent and the Company acknowledge that they are parties to the Confidentiality Agreement, the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference and remain in full force and effect. Following Closing, the Confidentiality Agreement shall be superseded in its entirety by the provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, that if for any reason this Agreement is terminated prior to the Closing, the Confidentiality Agreement shall nonetheless continue in full force and effect in accordance with its terms.

Section 7.10 No Parent Securities Transactions. Without Parent’s prior written consent, during the Interim Period, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries or controlled Affiliates shall, directly or indirectly, acquire, offer or propose to acquire, agree to acquire, sell or transfer or offer or propose to sell or transfer, or engage in any other transactions involving the securities of Parent, or encourage any Person to do any of the foregoing.

Section 7.11 No Claim Against Trust Account. For and in consideration of Parent entering into this Agreement, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Company hereby irrevocably waives, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any right, title, interest or claim of any kind it has or may have in the future in or to the Trust Account (and any monies therein) or distributions therefrom, regardless of whether such claim arises as a result of, in connection with or relating in any way to, this Agreement or any proposed or actual business relationship between Parent or its Representatives, on the one hand, and the Company or its Representatives, on the other hand, or any other matter, and regardless of whether such claim arises based on contract, tort, equity or any other theory of legal liability; provided, that (a) nothing herein shall serve to limit or prohibit the Company’s right to pursue a claim against Parent for (i) legal relief against monies or other assets held outside the Trust Account or (ii) specific performance or other equitable relief in connection with the consummation of the Transactions (including a claim for Parent to specifically perform its obligations under this Agreement and cause the disbursement of the balance of the cash remaining in the Trust Account (after giving effect to the Parent Stockholder Redemptions) to the Company in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Trust Agreement) so long as such claim would


		A-61

not affect Parent’s ability to fulfill its obligation to effectuate the Parent Stockholder Redemptions and (b) nothing herein shall serve to limit or prohibit any claims that the Company may have in the future against Parent’s assets or funds that are not held in the Trust Account (including any funds that have been released from the Trust Account (except any such funds released in order to effectuate the Parent Stockholder Redemptions) and any assets that have been purchased or acquired with any such funds) (collectively, including subject to the foregoing limitations set forth in sub-clauses (a) and (b) the “Released Claims”). The Company, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, hereby irrevocably waives any Released Claims that the Company or any of its Affiliates may have against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) now or in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations, Contracts or agreements with Parent or its Representatives and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) for any reason whatsoever (including for an alleged breach of any agreement with Parent or its Affiliates). The Company agrees and acknowledges that such irrevocable waiver is material to this Agreement and specifically relied upon by Parent and its Affiliates to induce Parent to enter into this Agreement, and the Company further intends and understands such waiver to be valid, binding and enforceable against the Company and each of its Affiliates under applicable Law.

Section 7.12 Disclosure of Certain Matters. During the Interim Period, each of Parent, First Merger Sub, Second Merger Sub and the Company will promptly provide the other Parties with prompt written notice of any event, development or condition of which they have Knowledge that: (i) is reasonably likely to cause any of the conditions set forth in Article VIII not to be satisfied or the satisfaction of those conditions to be materially delayed; or (ii) would require any amendment or supplement to the Merger Materials; provided, however, that no such notification or the failure to provide such notification shall, in and of itself, effect any of the representations, warranties, covenants, rights or remedies, or the conditions to the obligations of, the Parties or result, in and of itself, in the failure of a condition set forth in Article VIII; provided, further, that for the avoidance of doubt, any such information actually contained in such foregoing notification may affect the representations, warranties, covenants, rights or remedies, or the conditions to the obligations of, the Parties or result in the failure of a condition set forth in Article VIII), but in any event shall not be deemed to cure or prevent any misrepresentation, inaccuracy, untruth or breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement set forth in this Agreement or any Transaction Agreement or failure to satisfy any condition set forth in Article VIII.

Parent shall take, or cause to be taken, all commercially reasonable actions and do, or cause to be done, all commercially reasonable things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Subscription Agreements on the terms and conditions described therein, including maintaining in effect the Subscription Agreements and using its commercially reasonable efforts to: (i) satisfy in all material respects on a timely basis all conditions and covenants applicable to Parent in the Subscription Agreements and otherwise comply with its obligations thereunder, (ii) in the event that all conditions to the PIPE Investors’ obligations to fund in the Subscription Agreements (other than conditions that Parent or any of its Affiliates exclusively control the satisfaction of and other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing) have been satisfied, consummate transactions contemplated by the Subscription Agreements at or prior to Closing; (iii) deliver any required notices to counterparties to the Subscription Agreements in accordance with the terms of the Subscription Agreements such that the PIPE Investors will be required, in the event that all conditions to the PIPE Investors’ obligations to fund in the Subscription Agreements are satisfied (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing), to fund their obligations at or prior to or concurrently with the Closing; and (iv) without limiting the Company’s rights to enforce such Subscription Agreements pursuant to Section 11.6, enforce its rights under the Subscription Agreements in the event that all conditions to the PIPE Investor’s obligation to fund in the Subscription Agreements (other than conditions that Parent or any of its Affiliates control the satisfaction of and other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing) have been satisfied, to cause the applicable PIPE Investors to pay to (or as directed by) Parent the applicable portion of the PIPE Investment Amount, as applicable, set forth in the Subscription Agreements in accordance with their terms.

(b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Parent shall give the Company prompt written notice: (i) of any material amendment to any Subscription Agreement (other than as a result of any assignments or transfers contemplated therein or otherwise permitted thereby); (ii) of any material breach or default (or any event or circumstance that, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would be reasonably likely to give rise to any material breach or default) by any party to any Subscription Agreement that Parent has Knowledge of; (iii) of the receipt of any written notice or other written communication from any party to any Subscription Agreement with respect to any actual, potential, threatened or claimed expiration, lapse, withdrawal, material breach, material default, termination or repudiation by any party to any Subscription Agreement or any material provisions of any Subscription Agreement; and (iv) if Parent does not expect to receive all or any portion of the PIPE Investment Amount on the terms, in the manner or from the PIPE Investors as contemplated by the Subscription Agreements.

(c) In the event that, during the Interim Period, (i) any portion of the PIPE Investment becomes unavailable on the terms and conditions contemplated in the Subscription Agreements or (ii) the PIPE Investments at any time are less than two hundred ten million dollars ($210,000,000) in the aggregate, Parent and the Company shall (and shall direct their respective financial advisors to) cooperate in good faith and use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to arrange and obtain as promptly as reasonably practicable following the occurrence of such event alternative financing on terms and conditions no less favorable to Parent, in the aggregate, than those contained in the Subscription Agreements (each, a “PIPE Alternative Financing”) from alternative sources (each, a “PIPE Alternative Financing Source”) equal to (x) such portion of the PIPE Investment that becomes unavailable or (y) the amount by which the PIPE Investments at the applicable time are less than two hundred ten million dollars ($210,000,000) in the aggregate (as applicable). If and to the extent a definitive subscription agreement is entered into with respect to Alternative Financing during the Interim Period, and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Section 7.20(a) and Section 7.20(b) shall apply to such Alternative Financing mutatis mutandis.


		A-65

(d) In the event that the amount of the shares of Parent Class A Common Stock redeemed by the Parent Stockholders in connection with the Parent Stockholder Redemptions exceeds twenty percent (20%) of the issued and outstanding shares of Parent Class A Common Stock held by Parent Public Stockholders as of immediately prior the consummation of the Parent Stockholder Redemptions, one or more VPC Affiliates (each VPC Affiliate(s), a “Redemption Alternative Financing Source” and each Redemption Alternative Financing Source and each PIPE Alterative Financing Source, an “Alternative Financing Source”) shall have the right, but not the obligation, to enter into one or more subscription agreements (as applicable) to purchase shares of Parent Class A Common Stock in an amount up to the Redemption Excess Shares Amount, in each case on substantially the same terms and conditions as set forth in the Subscription Agreements, including at a purchase price of ten dollars ($10.00) per share and, for the avoidance of doubt, in all cases consistent with Section 3(o) of each Subscription Agreement (each, a “Redemption Alternative Financing” and each Redemption Alternative Financing and PIPE Alternative Financing, an “Alternative Financing”). If and to the extent a definitive subscription agreement is entered into with respect to Alternative Financing, and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Section 7.20(a) and Section 7.20(b) shall apply to such Alternative Financing mutatis mutandis.

(a) All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration, excise, recording, registration value added and other such similar Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest) that become payable in connection with or by reason of the execution of this Agreement and the Transactions shall be borne and paid by the Company. The Company shall timely file any Tax Return or other document with respect to such Taxes or fees (and Parent shall reasonably cooperate with respect thereto as necessary).

(b) All Tax sharing agreements or similar arrangements with respect to or involving the Company (other than any agreement entered into in the ordinary course of business and not primarily concerning Taxes) shall be terminated prior to the Closing Date and, after the Closing Date, the Company shall not be bound thereby or have any liability thereunder for amounts due in respect of periods ending on or before the Closing Date, and there shall be no continuing obligation after the Closing Date to make any payments under any such agreements or arrangements.


		A-67

At the request of the Company, in its sole discretion, Parent will seek the Warrant Agreement Amendments in forms reasonably acceptable to Parent and the Company; provided, that for the avoidance of doubt, (a) the Parent Warrantholder Proposal shall be considered a Parent Stockholder Matter for purposes of this Agreement but shall not be considered a part of or necessary for the Requisite Parent Stockholder Approval for purposes of this Agreement, (b) the approval of the Parent Warrantholder Proposal or execution of the Warrant Agreement Amendments by or on behalf of the holders of the Parent Warrants shall not be a condition to the Closing hereunder or otherwise affect, in any way, the consummation of the Transactions contemplated hereby, (c) the failure of the Warrant Agreement Amendments to result in the Parent Warrants being classified as equity instruments (rather than liabilities) of Parent from and after the date of such amendments under applicable GAAP accounting standards shall not be deemed or otherwise considered a breach of any provision of this Agreement and (d) Parent shall not be required to pay any amounts to the holders of Parent Warrants in connection with or relating to the Parent Warrantholder Proposal (including as an inducement to approve such Parent Warrantholder Proposal or otherwise). Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, Parent may, with the consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, seek to implement the Warrant Agreement Amendments by seeking the written consent of the holders of the Parent Warrants in accordance with the Warrant Agreement.

1.8 Fixing Date for Determination of Stockholders of Record.

In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, the Board may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board, and which record date shall, unless otherwise required by law, not be more than sixty (60) nor less than ten (10) days before the date of such meeting. If no record date is fixed by the Board, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held. A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board may fix a new record date for determination of stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at the adjourned meeting.

In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights, or entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board may fix, in advance, a record date, which shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board and which shall not be more than sixty (60) days prior to such action. If no such record date is fixed by the Board, then the record date for determining stockholders for any such purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board adopts the resolution relating thereto.

The Secretary shall prepare, at least ten (10) days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting (provided, however, if the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote is less than ten (10) days before the date of the meeting, the list shall reflect the stockholders entitled to vote as of the tenth (10th) day before the meeting date), arranged in alphabetical order and showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. The Corporation shall not be required to include electronic mail addresses or other electronic contact information on such list. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, for a period of at least ten (10) days prior to the meeting, (a) on a reasonably accessible electronic network as permitted by applicable law (provided that the information required to gain access to the list is provided with the notice of the meeting), or (b) during ordinary business hours, at the principal place of business of the Corporation. If the meeting is held at a location where stockholders may attend in person, the list shall also be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present at the meeting. If the meeting is held solely by means of remote communication, then the list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder during the whole time of the meeting on a reasonably accessible electronic network, and the information required to access the list shall be provided with the notice of the meeting. Except as otherwise provided by law, the list shall presumptively determine the identity of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting and the number of shares held by each of them.

1.10.5 Opening and Closing of Polls. The date and time of the opening and the closing of the polls for each matter upon which the stockholders will vote at a meeting shall be announced by the chairperson of the meeting at the meeting. No ballot, proxies or votes, nor any revocations thereof or changes thereto, shall be accepted by the inspectors after the closing of the polls unless the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, upon application by a stockholder, shall determine otherwise.

1.10.6 Determinations. In determining the validity and counting of proxies and ballots, the inspectors shall be limited to an examination of the proxies, any envelopes submitted with those proxies, any information provided in connection with proxies pursuant to Section 211(a)(2)b.(i) of the DGCL, or in accordance with Sections 211(e) or 212(c)(2) of the DGCL, ballots and the regular books and records of the Corporation, except that the inspectors may consider other reliable information for the limited purpose of reconciling proxies and ballots submitted by or on behalf of banks, brokers, their nominees or similar persons which represent more votes than the holder of a proxy is authorized by the record owner to cast or more votes than the stockholder holds of record. If the inspectors consider other reliable information for the limited purpose permitted herein, the inspectors at the time they make their certification of their determinations pursuant to this Section 1.10 shall specify the precise information considered by them, including the person or persons from whom they obtained the information, when the information was obtained, the means by which the information was obtained and the basis for the inspectors’ belief that such information is accurate and reliable.

ARTICLE VI

INDEMNIFICATION

6.1 Indemnification of Officers and Directors.

Each person who was or is made a party to, or is threatened to be made a party to, or is involved in any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, legislative or


		A-128

any other type whatsoever (a “Proceeding”), by reason of the fact that such person (or a person of whom such person is the legal representative), is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or, while serving as a director or officer of the Corporation, is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee, agent or trustee of another corporation, or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans (for purposes of this Article VI, an “Indemnitee”), shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than such law permitted the Corporation to provide prior to such amendment), against all expenses, liability and loss (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes and penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such Indemnitee in connection therewith. Such indemnification shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to be a director or officer of the Corporation and shall inure to the benefit of such Indemnitees’ heirs, executors and administrators. Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to Section 6.5 of these Bylaws, the Corporation shall indemnify any such Indemnitee seeking indemnity in connection with a Proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such Indemnitee only if such Proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board or such indemnification is authorized by an agreement approved by the Board.

6.2 Advance of Expenses.

Except as otherwise provided in a written indemnification contract between the Corporation and an Indemnitee, the Corporation shall pay all expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by an Indemnitee in defending any Proceeding in advance of its final disposition; provided, however, that if the DGCL then so requires, the advancement of such expenses shall be made only upon delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such Indemnitee, to repay such amounts if it shall ultimately be determined that such Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified under this Article VI or otherwise.

6.3 Non-Exclusivity of Rights; Indemnification by Other Persons.

6.3.1 Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The rights conferred on any person in this Article VI shall not be exclusive of any other right that such person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws, agreement, vote or consent of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise. Additionally, nothing in this Article VI shall limit the ability of the Corporation, in its discretion, to indemnify or advance expenses to persons whom the Corporation is not obligated to indemnify or advance expenses pursuant to this Article VI.

6.3.2 Indemnification by Other Persons. Given that certain Jointly Indemnifiable Claims (as defined below) may arise due to the service of the Indemnitee as a director and/or officer of the Corporation or as an officer, director, equityholder, employee, partner, member, investment manager, principal, investor, agents, trustee of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust, investment fund or other enterprise at the request of the Indemnitee-Related Entities (as defined below), the Corporation shall be fully and primarily responsible for the payment to the Indemnitee in respect of indemnification or advancement of expenses in connection with any such Jointly Indemnifiable Claims, pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of this Article VI, irrespective of any right of recovery the Indemnitee may have from the Indemnitee-Related Entities. Under no circumstance shall the Corporation be entitled to any right of subrogation against or contribution by the Indemnitee-Related Entities and no right of advancement, indemnification or recovery the Indemnitee may have from the Indemnitee-Related Entities shall reduce or otherwise alter the rights of the Indemnitee or the obligations of the Corporation under this Article VI. In the event that any of the Indemnitee-Related Entities shall make any payment to the Indemnitee in respect of indemnification or advancement of expenses with respect to any jointly indemnifiable claim, the Indemnitee-Related Entity making such payment shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of the Indemnitee against the Corporation, and the Indemnitee shall execute all papers reasonably required and shall do all things that may be reasonably necessary to secure such rights, including the execution of such documents as may be necessary to enable the Indemnitee-Related Entities effectively to bring suit to enforce such rights. Each of the Indemnitee-Related Entities shall be


		A-129

third-party beneficiaries with respect to this Section 6.3.2, entitled to enforce this Section 6.3.2. For purposes of this Section 6.3.2, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

(a) The term “Indemnitee-Related Entities” means any corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust, investment fund, employee benefit plan or other enterprise (other than the Corporation or any other corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust, investment fund, employee benefit plan or other enterprise for which the Indemnitee has agreed, on behalf of the Corporation or at the Corporation’s request, to serve as a director, officer, employee or agent and which service is covered by the indemnity described herein) from whom an Indemnitee may be entitled to indemnification or advancement of expenses with respect to which, in whole or in part, the Corporation may also have an indemnification or advancement obligation; and

(b) The term “Jointly Indemnifiable Claims” shall be broadly construed and shall include, without limitation, any action, suit or proceeding for which the indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification or advancement of expenses from both the Indemnitee-Related Entities and the Corporation pursuant to applicable law, any agreement, certificate of incorporation, by-laws, partnership agreement, operating agreement, certificate of formation, certificate of limited partnership or comparable organizational documents of the Corporation or the Indemnitee-Related Entities, as applicable.

6.4 Indemnification Contracts.

The Board is authorized to cause the Corporation to enter into indemnification contracts with any director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or any person serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee, agent or trustee of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including employee benefit plans, providing indemnification or advancement rights to such person. Such rights may be greater than those provided in this Article VI.

6.5 Right of Indemnitee to Bring Suit.

The following shall apply to the extent not in conflict with any indemnification contract provided for in Section 6.4 of these Bylaws.

6.5.1 Right to Bring Suit. If a claim under Section 6.1 or 6.2 of these Bylaws is not paid in full by the Corporation within sixty (60) days after a written claim has been received by the Corporation, except in the case of a claim for an advancement of expenses, in which case the applicable period shall be twenty (20) days, the Indemnitee may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim. If successful in whole or in part in any such suit, or in a suit brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the Indemnitee shall be entitled to be paid, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the expense of prosecuting or defending such suit. In any suit brought by the Indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification hereunder (but not in a suit brought by the Indemnitee to enforce a right to an advancement of expenses) it shall be a defense that the Indemnitee has not met any applicable standard of conduct which makes it permissible under the DGCL (or other applicable law) for the Corporation to indemnify the Indemnitee for the amount claimed.

6.5.2 Effect of Determination. Neither the absence of a determination prior to the commencement of such suit that indemnification of the Indemnitee is proper in the circumstances because the Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in applicable law, nor an actual determination that the Indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall create a presumption that the Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct or, in the case of such a suit brought by the Indemnitee, be a defense to such suit.

6.5.3 Burden of Proof. In any suit brought by the Indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification or to an advancement of expenses hereunder, or brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the burden of proving that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified, or to such advancement of expenses, under this Article VI, or otherwise, shall be on the Corporation.


		A-130

6.6 Nature of Rights.

The rights conferred upon Indemnitees in this Article VI shall be contract rights and such rights shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to be a director, officer or trustee and shall inure to the benefit of the Indemnitee’s heirs, executors and administrators. Any amendment, repeal or modification of any provision of this Article VI that adversely affects any right of an Indemnitee or an Indemnitee’s successors shall be prospective only, and shall not adversely affect any right or protection conferred on a person pursuant to this Article VI with respect to any Proceeding involving any occurrence or alleged occurrence of any action or omission to act that took place prior to such amendment, repeal or modification.

6.7 Insurance.

The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the DGCL.

6.8 Contract Rights.

The rights conferred upon Indemnitees in this Article VI shall be contract rights and such rights shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to be a director or officer and shall inure to the benefit of the Indemnitee’s heirs, executors and administrators. Any amendment, alteration or repeal of this Article VI that adversely affects any right of an Indemnitee or its successors shall be prospective only (except to the extent such amendment or change in law permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights to all such parties on a retroactive basis than permitted prior thereto) and shall not limit, eliminate, or impair any such right with respect to any proceeding involving any occurrence or alleged occurrence of any action or omission to act that took place prior to such amendment or repeal.

Without limiting the manner by which notice otherwise may be given effectively to stockholders, any notice to stockholders given by the Corporation under any provision of the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation, or these Bylaws shall be effective if given by a form of electronic transmission consented to by the stockholder to whom the notice is given in accordance with Section 232 of the


		A-131

DGCL. Any such consent shall be revocable by the stockholder by written notice to the Corporation. Any such consent shall be deemed revoked if (a) the Corporation is unable to deliver by electronic transmission two consecutive notices given by the Corporation in accordance with such consent and (b) such inability becomes known to the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Corporation or to the transfer agent, or other person responsible for the giving of notice; provided, however, that the inadvertent failure to treat such inability as a revocation shall not invalidate any meeting or other action. Notice given pursuant to this Section 7.1.2 shall be deemed given: (i) if by facsimile telecommunication, when directed to a number at which the stockholder has consented to receive notice; (ii) if by electronic mail, when directed to an electronic mail address at which the stockholder has consented to receive notice; (iii) if by a posting on an electronic network together with separate notice to the stockholder of such specific posting, upon the later of such posting and the giving of such separate notice; and (iv) if by any other form of electronic transmission, when directed to the stockholder.

7.1.3 Affidavit of Giving Notice. An affidavit of the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary or of the transfer agent or other agent of the Corporation that the notice has been given in writing or by a form of electronic transmission shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein.

7.2 Waiver of Notice.

Whenever notice is required to be given under any provision of the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, a written waiver of notice, signed by the person entitled to notice, or waiver by electronic transmission by such person, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to notice. Attendance of a person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the person attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting at the beginning of the meeting to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the stockholders, directors or members of a committee of directors need be specified in any waiver of notice.

Section 2. Preferred Stock

2.1 The Corporation’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) is authorized, subject to any limitations prescribed by the law of the State of Delaware, by resolution or resolutions adopted from time to time, to provide for the issuance of shares of Preferred Stock in one or more series, and, by filing a certificate of designation pursuant to the applicable law of the State of Delaware (the “Certificate of Designation”), to establish from time to time the number of shares to be included in each such series, to fix the designation, vesting, powers (including voting powers), preferences and relative, participating, optional or other rights (and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof) of the shares of each such series and to increase (but not above the total number of authorized shares of the class) or decrease (but not below the number of shares of such series then outstanding) the number of shares of any such series. The number of authorized shares of Preferred Stock may also be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of all the then-outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote thereon, without a separate vote of the holders of the Preferred Stock or any series thereof, irrespective of the provisions of Section 242(b)(2) of the General Corporation Law, unless a vote of any such holders is required pursuant to the terms of any Certificate of Designation designating a series of Preferred Stock.

2.2 Except as otherwise expressly provided in any Certificate of Designation designating any series of Preferred Stock pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Article IV, (a) any new series of Preferred Stock may be designated, fixed and determined as provided herein by the Board without approval of the holders of Common Stock or the holders of Preferred Stock, or any series thereof, and (b) any such new series may have powers, preferences and rights, including, without limitation, voting rights, dividend rights, liquidation rights, redemption rights and conversion rights, senior to, junior to or pari passu with the rights of the Common Stock, the Preferred Stock or any future class or series of Preferred Stock or Common Stock.

B-3

powers, rank equally (including as to dividends and distributions, and upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation), share ratably and be identical in all respects and as to all matters.

Except as otherwise expressly provided herein or required by applicable law, each holder of Class A Common Stock shall have the right to one (1) vote per share of Class A Common Stock held of record by such holder as of the applicable record date and each holder of Class V Common Stock shall have the right to ten (10) votes per share of Class V Common Stock held of record by such holder as of the applicable record date.

3.3 Shares of Class A Common Stock and Class V Common Stock shall be treated equally, identically and ratably, on a per share basis, with respect to any dividends or distributions as may be declared and paid from time to time by the Board out of any assets of the Corporation legally available therefor; provided, however, that in the event a dividend is paid in the form of shares of Class A Common Stock or Class V Common Stock (or rights to acquire such shares), then holders of Class A Common Stock shall receive shares of Class A Common Stock (or rights to acquire such shares, as the case may be) and holders of Class V Common Stock shall receive shares of Class V Common Stock (or rights to acquire such shares, as the case may be), with holders of shares of Class A Common Stock and Class V Common Stock receiving, on a per share basis, an identical number of shares of Class A Common Stock or Class V Common Stock, as applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board may pay or make a disparate dividend or distribution per share of Class A Common Stock or Class V Common Stock (whether in the amount of such dividend or distribution payable per share, the form in which such dividend or distribution is payable, the timing of the payment, or otherwise) if such disparate dividend or distribution is approved in advance by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of all the then-outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of all the then-outstanding shares of Class V Common Stock, each voting separately as a class.

3.4 Shares of Class A Common Stock or Class V Common Stock may not be subdivided, combined or reclassified unless the shares of the other class are concurrently therewith proportionately subdivided, combined or reclassified in a manner that maintains the same proportionate equity ownership between the holders of the outstanding Class A Common Stock and Class V Common Stock on the record date for such subdivision, combination or reclassification; provided, however, that shares of one such class may be subdivided, combined or reclassified in a different or disproportionate manner if such subdivision, combination or reclassification is approved in advance by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of all the then-outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of all the then-outstanding shares of Class V Common Stock, each voting separately as a class.

3.5 Subject to any preferential or other rights of any holders of Preferred Stock then outstanding, upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, holders of Class A Common Stock and Class V Common Stock will be entitled to receive ratably all assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders unless disparate or different treatment of the shares of each such class with respect to distributions upon any such liquidation, dissolution or winding up is approved in advance by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of all the then-outstanding shares

B-4

of Class A Common Stock and the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of all the then-outstanding shares of Class V Common Stock, each voting separately as a class.

3.6 In the case of any distribution or payment in respect of the shares of Class A Common Stock or Class V Common Stock upon the merger or consolidation of the Corporation with or into any other entity, or in the case of any other transaction having an effect on stockholders substantially similar to that resulting from a merger or consolidation, such distribution or payment shall be made ratably on a per share basis among the holders of the Class A Common Stock and Class V Common Stock as a single class; provided, however, that shares of one such class may receive different or disproportionate distributions or payments in connection with such merger, consolidation or other transaction if (a) the only difference in the per share distribution to the holders of the Class A Common Stock and Class V Common Stock is that any securities distributed to the holder of a share Class V Common Stock have ten (10) times the voting power of any securities distributed to the holder of a share of Class A Common Stock, or (b) such merger, consolidation or other transaction is approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of all the then-outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of all the then-outstanding shares of Class V Common Stock, each voting separately as a class.

ARTICLE V

Section 1. Each share of Class V Common Stock shall be convertible into one (1) fully paid and nonassessable share of Class A Common Stock at the option of the holder thereof at any time upon written notice to the Corporation. Before any holder of Class V Common Stock shall be entitled to convert any of such holder’s shares of such Class V Common Stock into shares of Class A Common Stock, such holder shall deliver an instruction, duly signed and authenticated in accordance with any procedures set forth in the Bylaws or any policies of the Corporation then in effect, at the principal corporate office of the Corporation or of any transfer agent for the Class V Common Stock, and shall give written notice to the Corporation at its principal corporate office of such holder’s election to convert the same and shall state therein the name or names in which the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable on conversion thereof are to be registered on the books of the Corporation. The Corporation shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, register on the Corporation’s books ownership of the number of shares of Class A Common Stock to which such record holder of Class V Common Stock, or to which the nominee or nominees of such record holder, shall be entitled as aforesaid. Such conversion shall be deemed to have occurred immediately prior to the close of business on the date such notice of the election to convert is received by the Corporation or, if the notice of conversion specifies a different future effective time, including a time determined by the happening of a future event, such conversion shall be deemed to have occurred at such time, or on the happening of such event, and the person or persons entitled to receive the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Class A Common Stock as of such time.

Section 2. Automatic and Mandatory Conversion.

2.1 Each share of Class V Common Stock shall automatically, without further action by the Corporation or the holder thereof, be converted into one (1) fully paid and nonassessable share of Class A Common Stock, immediately prior to the close of business on the earlier to occur of: (a) the receipt by the Corporation of a written request for such conversion from the holders of not less than a majority of the Class V Common Stock then outstanding, or, if later, the effective time for conversion specified in such request or (b) the occurrence of a Transfer (as defined below), other than a Permitted Transfer (as defined below), of such share of Class V Common Stock.

B-5

immediately prior to the close of business on the earliest to occur of: (a) the date employment with the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries is terminated for Cause (as defined below), (b) the date the Founder resigns (other than for Good Reason (as defined below)) and no longer providing services in a capacity as an officer, employee or director of the Corporation, (c) the date of the Founder’s death or Incapacity and (d) the date that the number of shares of capital stock of the Corporation, including any shares of capital stock of the Corporation underlying any securities (including restricted stock units, options, or other convertible instruments), whether such securities are vested or unvested, earned or unearned, convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable as of such time or in the future, held by the Founder and his Permitted Transferees is less than 35% of the number of shares of Class V Common Stock held by the Founder and his Permitted Transferees on the Effectiveness Date.

Section 3. Each share of Class V Common Stock held of record by a natural person, or by such person’s Permitted Transferees, shall automatically, without any further action by the Corporation or the holder thereof, convert into one (1) share of Class A Common Stock upon the death or Permanent Disability of such holder.

Section 4. The Corporation may, from time to time, establish such policies and procedures, not in violation of applicable law or this Second Amended and Restated Certificate or the Bylaws, relating to the administration of the conversion of shares of the Class V Common Stock into shares of Class A Common Stock as it may deem necessary or advisable. If the Corporation has reason to believe that a Transfer that is not a Permitted Transfer has occurred, the Corporation may request that the purported transferor furnish affidavits or other evidence to the Corporation as it reasonably deems necessary to determine whether a Transfer that is not a Permitted Transfer has occurred, and if such transferor does not within ten (10) days after the date of such request furnish sufficient (as determined in good faith by the Board) evidence to the Corporation (in the manner provided in the request) to enable the Corporation to determine that no such Transfer has occurred, any such shares of Class V Common Stock, to the extent not previously converted, shall be automatically converted into shares of Class A Common Stock and such conversion shall thereupon be registered on the books and records of the Corporation. In connection with any action of stockholders taken at a meeting, the stock ledger of the Corporation shall be presumptive evidence as to who are the stockholders entitled to vote in person or by proxy at any meeting of stockholders and the classes of shares held by each such stockholder and the number of shares of each class held by such stockholder.

If at any time the number of authorized and unissued shares of Class A Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then-outstanding shares of Class V Common Stock, the Corporation shall promptly take such corporate action as may be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Class A Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purpose, including, without limitation, obtaining the requisite stockholder approval of any necessary amendment to this Second Amended and Restated Certificate. All shares of Class A Common Stock which are so issuable shall, when issued, be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares. The Corporation shall take all such action as may be necessary to ensure that all such shares of Class A Common Stock may be so issued without violation of any applicable law or regulation.

ARTICLE VI

Section 1. The business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of the Board, except as otherwise provided by law. In addition to the powers and authority expressly conferred upon them by statute or by this Second Amended and Restated Certificate or the Bylaws, the directors are hereby empowered to exercise all such powers and do all such acts and things as may be exercised or done by the Corporation.

Section 2. Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock to elect additional directors under specified circumstances, the total number of directors constituting the Whole Board shall be fixed from time to time exclusively by resolution adopted by a majority of the Whole Board. For purposes of this Second Amended and Restated Certificate, the term “Whole Board” shall mean the total number of authorized directors whether or not there exist any vacancies or unfilled seats in previously authorized directorships.

Section 3. Subject to the special rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock to elect directors, the directors shall be divided, with respect to the time for which they severally hold office, into three (3) classes designated as Class I, Class II and Class III, respectively (the “Classified Board”). The Board is authorized to assign members of the Board already in office to such classes of the Classified Board, which assignments shall become effective at the same time the Classified Board becomes effective. Directors shall be assigned to each class in accordance with a resolution or resolutions adopted by the Board, with the number of directors in each class to be divided as nearly equal as reasonably possible. The initial term of office of the Class I directors shall expire at the Corporation’s first annual meeting of stockholders following the Effectiveness Date, the initial term of office of the Class II directors shall expire at the Corporation’s second annual meeting of stockholders following the Effectiveness Date and the initial term of office of the Class III directors shall expire at the Corporation’s third annual meeting of stockholders following the Effectiveness Date. At each annual meeting of stockholders following the Effectiveness Date, directors elected to succeed those directors of the class whose terms then expire shall be elected for a term of office to expire at the third succeeding annual meeting of stockholders after their election. In the event of any increase or decrease in the authorized number of directors (a) each director then serving as such shall nevertheless continue as a director of the class of which the director is a member and (b) the newly created or eliminated directorships resulting from such increase or decrease shall be apportioned by the Board among the three (3) classes of directors so as to ensure that no one class has more than one director more than any other class.

Section 4. Each director shall hold office until the annual meeting at which such director’s term expires and until such director’s successor is elected and qualified, or until such director’s earlier death, resignation, disqualification or removal. Any director may resign at any time upon notice to the Corporation given in writing or by any electronic transmission permitted by the Bylaws. Subject to the special rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock, no director may be removed from the Board except for cause and only by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the voting power of the then-outstanding shares of

B-10

capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors voting together as a single class. In the event of any increase or decrease in the authorized number of directors, (a) each director then serving as such shall nevertheless continue as a director of the class of which the director is a member and (b) the newly created or eliminated directorships resulting from such increase or decrease shall be apportioned by the Board among the classes of directors so as to ensure that no one class has more than one director more than any other class. To the extent possible, consistent with the foregoing rule, any newly created directorships shall be added to those classes whose terms of office are to expire at the latest dates following such allocation, and any newly eliminated directorships shall be subtracted from those classes whose terms of office are to expire at the earliest dates following such allocation, unless otherwise provided from time to time by resolution adopted by the Board. No decrease in the authorized number of directors constituting the Board shall shorten the term of any incumbent director.

Section 5. Subject to the special rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock to elect directors, any vacancy occurring in the Board for any cause, and any newly created directorship resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors, shall, unless (a) the Board determines by resolution that any such vacancies or newly created directorships shall be filled by the stockholders or (b) as otherwise provided by law, be filled only by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then in office, even if less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director, and not by the stockholders. Any director elected in accordance with the preceding sentence shall hold office for a term expiring at the annual meeting of stockholders at which the term of office of the class to which the director has been assigned expires or until such director’s successor shall have been duly elected and qualified, or until such director’s earlier death, resignation, disqualification or removal. No decrease in the authorized number of directors shall shorten the term of any incumbent director.

Section 6. Election of directors need not be by written ballot unless the Bylaws shall so provide. Except as may otherwise be set forth in the resolution or resolutions of the Board providing for the issuance of one or more series of Preferred Stock, and then only with respect to such series of Preferred Stock, cumulative voting in the election of directors is specifically denied.

ARTICLE VII

Section 1. To the fullest extent permitted by law, no director of the Corporation shall be personally liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director. Without limiting the effect of the preceding sentence, if the General Corporation Law is hereafter amended to authorize the further elimination or limitation of the liability of a director, then the liability of a director of the Corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the General Corporation Law, as so amended.

Section 2. Neither any amendment nor repeal of this Article VII, nor the adoption of any provision of this Second Amended and Restated Certificate inconsistent with this Article VII, shall eliminate, reduce or otherwise adversely affect any limitation on the personal liability of a director of the Corporation existing at the time of such amendment, repeal or adoption of such an inconsistent provision.

ARTICLE VIII

The Board is expressly authorized to make, repeal, alter, amend and rescind, in whole or in part, the Bylaws without the assent or vote of the stockholders in any manner not inconsistent with the laws of the State of Delaware or this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation. Any adoption, amendment or repeal of the Bylaws by the Board shall require the approval of a majority of the Whole Board. The stockholders shall also have power to adopt, amend or repeal the Bylaws; provided, however, that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Second Amended and Restated Certificate (including any Certificate of Designation) or any provision of law that might otherwise permit a lesser or no vote, but in addition to any vote of the holders of any class or

B-11

series of stock of the Corporation required by applicable law or by this Second Amended and Restated Certificate (including any Preferred Stock issued pursuant to any Certificate of Designation), the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the voting power of all of the then-outstanding shares of the capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class, shall be required to adopt, amend or repeal any provision of the Bylaws; provided, further, that if at least two-thirds (2/3) of the Whole Board has approved such adoption, amendment or repeal of any provisions of the Bylaws, then only the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the voting power of all of the then-outstanding shares of the capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class, shall be required to adopt, amend or repeal any provision of the Bylaws; provided, further, that any amendment, alteration, change, addition to or repeal of Article VI (Indemnification) of the Bylaws shall, unless otherwise required by law, be prospective only (except to the extent such amendment or change in law permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights to all such parties on a retroactive basis than permitted prior thereto), and shall not in any way diminish or adversely affect any right or protection existing at the time of such repeal or amendment or adoption of such inconsistent provision in respect of any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a “Proceeding”) (regardless of when such Proceeding is first threatened, commenced or completed) arising out of, or related to, any act or omission occurring prior to such repeal or amendment or adoption of such inconsistent provision.

ARTICLE IX

Section 1. Subject to the rights of any series of Preferred Stock then outstanding, any action required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders of the Corporation must be effected at a duly called annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation and may not be effected by any consent in writing by such stockholders.

Section 2. Special meetings of stockholders of the Corporation may be called only by the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer or the Board acting pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the Whole Board, and may not be called by any other person or persons. Only such business shall be considered at a special meeting of stockholders as shall have been stated in the notice for such meeting.

Section 3. Advance notice of stockholder nominations for the election of directors and of business to be brought by stockholders before any meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation shall be given in the manner and to the extent provided in the Bylaws.

ARTICLE X

Unless the Corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, if and only if the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware lacks subject matter jurisdiction, any state court located within the State of Delaware or, if and only if all such state courts lack subject matter jurisdiction, the federal district court for the District of Delaware) shall be the sole and exclusive forum for the following types of actions or proceedings under Delaware statutory or common law: (a) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Corporation; (b) any action or proceeding asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any current or former director, officer or other employee of the Corporation or any stockholder to the Corporation or the Corporation’s stockholders; (c) any action or proceeding asserting a claim against the Corporation or any current or former director, officer or other employee of the Corporation or any stockholder in such stockholder’s capacity as such arising out of or pursuant to any provision of the General Corporation Law, this Second Amended and Restated Certificate or the Bylaws of the Corporation (as each may be amended from time to time); (d) any action or proceeding to interpret, apply, enforce or determine the validity of this Second Amended and Restated Certificate or the Bylaws of the Corporation (including any right, obligation or remedy thereunder); (e) any action or proceeding as to which the

B-12

General Corporation Law confers jurisdiction to the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware; and (f) any action asserting a claim against the Corporation or any director, officer or other employee of the Corporation or any stockholder, governed by the internal affairs doctrine, in all cases to the fullest extent permitted by law and subject to the court’s having personal jurisdiction over the indispensable parties named as defendants. This Article X shall not apply to suits brought to enforce a duty or liability created by the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction.

Unless the Corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the federal district courts of the United States of America shall be the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Any person or entity holding, owning or otherwise acquiring any interest in any security of the Corporation shall be deemed to have notice of and to have consented to the provisions of this Article X.

nondisclosure as a result of his or her relationship with the Company; or (ii) in the case where there is an employment agreement, consulting agreement, change in control agreement or similar agreement in effect between the Company or an Affiliate and the Participant at the time of the grant of the Award that defines “cause” (or words of like import), “cause” as defined under such agreement; provided, however, that with regard to any agreement under which the definition of “cause” only applies on occurrence of a change in control, such definition of “cause” shall not apply until a change in control actually takes place and then only with regard to a termination thereafter. For purposes of clarity, a termination without “Cause” does not include any termination that occurs solely as a result of Participant’s death or Disability. The determination as to whether a Participant’s status as a Service Provider for purposes of the Plan has been terminated for Cause shall be made in good faith by the Company and shall be final and binding on the Participant. The foregoing definition does not in any way limit the Company’s ability (or that of any Affiliate or any successor thereto, as appropriate) to terminate a Participant’s employment or consulting relationship at any time, subject to Applicable Laws.

(h) “Change in Control” except as may otherwise be provided in an Award Agreement or other applicable agreement, means the occurrence of any of the following:

(ii) The consummation of the sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets (other than (x) to a corporation or other entity of which at least a majority of its combined voting power is owned directly or indirectly by the Company, (y) to a corporation or other entity owned directly or indirectly by the shareholders of the Company in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of the Common Stock of the Company or (z) to a continuing or surviving entity described in Section 2(h)(i) in connection with a merger, consolidation or reorganization which does not result in a Change in Control under Section 2(h)(i));

(iii) A change in the effective control of the Company which occurs on the date that a majority of members of the Board is replaced during any twelve (12) month period by Directors whose appointment or election is not endorsed by a majority of the members of the Board prior to the date of the appointment or election; or

(iv) The consummation of any transaction as a result of which any Person becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing at least fifty percent (50%) of the total voting power represented by the Company’s then outstanding voting securities. For purposes of this Section 2(h), the term “Person” shall have the same meaning as when used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act but shall exclude:

(1) a trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit plan of the Company or an Affiliate;

(2) a corporation or other entity owned directly or indirectly by the stockholders of the Company in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of the Common Stock of the Company;

(3) the Company; and

A transaction shall not constitute a Change in Control if its sole purpose is to change the state of the Company’s incorporation or to create a holding company that will be owned in substantially the same

proportions by the persons who held the Company’s securities immediately before such transactions. In addition, if any Person (as defined above) is considered to be in effective control of the Company, the acquisition of additional control of the Company by the same Person will not be considered to cause a Change in Control. If required for compliance with Section 409A of the Code, in no event will a Change in Control be deemed to have occurred if such transaction is not also a “change in the ownership or effective control of” the Company or “a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of” the Company as determined under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(5) (without regard to any alternative definition thereunder).

(i) “Code” means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

(n) “Director” means a member of the Board.

(o) “Disability” means total and permanent disability as defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Code in the case of Incentive Stock Options, and for all other Awards, means as determined by the Social Security Administration or the long-term disability plan maintained by the Company; provided however, that if the Participant resides outside of the United States, “Disability” shall have such meaning as is required by Applicable Laws.

(p) “Effective Date” means [●], 2021.

(q) “Employee” means any person, including Officers and Directors, employed by the Company or any Affiliate of the Company. Neither service as a Director nor payment of a director’s fee by the Company will be sufficient to constitute “employment” by the Company.

(s) “Exchange Program” means a program under which outstanding Awards are amended to provide for a lower exercise price or surrendered or cancelled in exchange for (i) Awards with a lower exercise price, (ii) a different type of Award or awards under a different equity incentive plan, (iii) cash, or (iv) a combination of (i), (ii) and/or (iii). Notwithstanding the preceding, the term Exchange Program does not include (x) any action described in Section 15 or any action taken in connection with a Change in Control transaction nor (y) any transfer or other disposition permitted under Section 14. For the purpose of clarity, each of the actions described in the prior sentence, none of which constitute an Exchange Program, may be undertaken (or authorized) by the Administrator in its sole discretion without approval by the Company’s stockholders.

(ii) If the Common Stock is regularly quoted by a recognized securities dealer but selling prices are not reported, the Fair Market Value of a Share will be the mean between the high bid and low asked prices for the Common Stock on the day of determination, as reported in such source as the Administrator deems reliable; or

(iii) In the absence of an established market for the Common Stock, the Fair Market Value will be determined in good faith by the Administrator in compliance with Applicable Laws and regulations and in a manner that complies with Section 409A of the Code.

3. Stock Subject to the Plan.

(a) Stock Subject to the Plan. Subject to the provisions of Sections 3(b) and 15, the maximum aggregate number of Shares that may be issued under the Plan will not exceed [●]¹ new Shares. The Shares may be authorized, but unissued, or reacquired Common Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to the provisions of Section 15 below, in no event shall the maximum aggregate number of Shares that may be issued under the Plan pursuant to Incentive Stock Options exceed the number set forth in this Section 3(a) plus, to the extent allowable under Section 422 of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder, any Shares that again become available for issuance pursuant to Sections 3(b) and 3(c).

(b) Automatic Share Reserve Increase. The number of Shares available for issuance under the Plan will be increased on the first day of each Fiscal Year beginning with the 2022 Fiscal Year and ending on (and including) the first day of the 2032 Fiscal Year, in each case, in an amount equal to the lessor of (i) 5% of the outstanding Shares on the last day of the immediately preceding Fiscal Year (calculated on a fully-diluted and as-converted basis), (ii) the number of Shares initially reserved for issuance under the Plan pursuant to the first sentence of Section 3(a) above and (iii) such smaller number of Shares determined by the Board.

In addition, any Shares which are retained by the Company upon exercise of an Award or Existing Plan Award in order to satisfy the exercise or purchase price for such Award or Existing Plan Award or any withholding taxes due with respect to such Award or Existing Plan Award shall be treated as not issued and shall continue to be available under the Plan for issuance pursuant to future Awards. Shares issued under the Plan or any Existing Plan Award and later forfeited to the Company due to the failure to vest or repurchased by the Company at the original purchase price paid to the Company for the Shares (including, without limitation, upon forfeiture to or repurchase by the Company in connection with a Participant ceasing to be a Service Provider) shall again be available for future grant under the Plan. To the extent an Award under the Plan or Existing Plan Award is paid out in cash rather than Shares, such cash payment will not result in reducing the number of Shares available for issuance under the Plan.

To be equal to 10% of the aggregate number of shares of Combined Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately after the Closing on a fully-diluted and as-converted basis (after giving effect to the VPCC Share Redemptions, if any), less the aggregate number of shares subject to unvested Rollover Options as of the Closing.

C-6

(d) Assumption or Substitution of Awards by the Company. The Administrator, from time to time, may determine to substitute or assume outstanding awards granted by another company, whether in connection with an acquisition of such other company or otherwise, by either: (a) assuming such award under this Plan or (b) granting an Award under this Plan in substitution of such other company’s award. Such assumption or substitution will be permissible if the holder of the substituted or assumed award would have been eligible to be granted an Award under this Plan if the other company had applied the rules of this Plan to such grant. In the event the Administrator elects to assume an award granted by another company, subject to the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, the purchase price or the exercise price, as the case may be, and the number and nature of Shares issuable upon exercise or settlement of any such Award will be adjusted appropriately. In the event the Administrator elects to grant a new Option in substitution rather than assuming an existing option, such new Option may be granted with a similarly adjusted exercise price. Any awards that are assumed or substituted under this Plan shall not reduce the number of Shares authorized for grant under the Plan or authorized for grant to a Participant in any fiscal year.

4. Administration of the Plan.

(a) Procedure.

(i) Multiple Administrative Bodies. Different Committees with respect to different groups of Service Providers may administer the Plan.

(ii) Rule 16b-3. To the extent desirable to qualify transactions hereunder as exempt under Rule 16b-3, the transactions contemplated hereunder will be structured to satisfy the requirements for exemption under Rule 16b-3.

(iii) Other Administration. Other than as provided above, the Plan will be administered by (A) the Board or (B) a Committee, which committee will be constituted to satisfy Applicable Laws.

(b) Powers of the Administrator. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Administrator will have the authority, in its discretion:

(iii) to determine the number of Shares to be covered by each Award granted hereunder;

(iv) to approve forms of Award Agreements for use under the Plan;

(vi) to institute and determine the terms and conditions of an Exchange Program; provided however, that the Administrator shall not implement an Exchange Program without the approval of the holders of a majority of the Shares that are present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at any annual or special meeting of the Company’s stockholders;

(vii) to construe and interpret the terms of the Plan and Awards granted pursuant to the Plan;

(viii) correct any defect, supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency in this Plan, any Award or any Award Agreement;

C-7

(ix) to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan, including rules and regulations established for the purpose of satisfying non-U.S. Applicable Laws, for qualifying for favorable tax treatment under non-U.S. Applicable Laws or facilitating compliance with non-U.S. Applicable Laws (sub-plans may be created for any of these purposes);

(x) to modify or amend each Award (subject to Section 22 of the Plan), including but not limited to the discretionary authority to extend the post-termination exercisability period of Awards, to accelerate vesting and to extend the maximum term of an Option (subject to Section 6(b) of the Plan regarding Incentive Stock Options);

(xi) adjust Performance Goals to take into account changes in Applicable Laws or in accounting or tax rules, or such other extraordinary, unforeseeable, nonrecurring or infrequently occurring events or circumstances as the Administrator deems necessary or appropriate to avoid windfalls or hardships;

(xii) to allow Participants to satisfy tax withholding obligations in such manner as prescribed in Section 16 of the Plan;

(xiii) to authorize any person to execute on behalf of the Company any instrument required to effect the grant of an Award previously granted by the Administrator;

(xiv) to allow a Participant to defer the receipt of the payment of cash or the delivery of Shares that would otherwise be due to such Participant under an Award; and

(xv) to make all other determinations deemed necessary or advisable for administering the Plan.

(c) Effect of Administrator’s Decision. The Administrator’s decisions, determinations and interpretations will be final and binding on all Participants and any other holders of Awards.

(d) Delegation. To the extent permitted by Applicable Laws, the Board or Committee, in its sole discretion and on such terms and conditions as it may provide, may delegate all or any part of its authority and powers under the Plan to one or more Directors or officers of the Company. To the extent permitted by Applicable Laws, the Board or Committee may delegate to one or more officers of the Company who may be (but are not required to be) Insiders (“Officers”), the authority to do any of the following (i) designate Employees who are not Insiders to be recipients of Awards, (ii) determine the number of Shares to be subject to such Awards granted to such designated Employees, and (iii) take any and all actions on behalf of the Board or Committee other than any actions that affect the amount or form of compensation of Insiders or have material tax, accounting, financial, human resource or legal consequences to the Company or its Affiliates; provided, however, that the Board or Committee resolutions regarding any delegation with respect to (i) and (ii) will specify the total number of Shares that may be subject to the Awards granted by such Officer and that such Officer may not grant an Award to himself or herself. Any Awards will be granted on the form of Award Agreement most recently approved for use by the Board or Committee, unless otherwise provided in the resolutions approving the delegation authority.

(e) Administration of Awards Subject to Performance Goals. The Administrator will, in its sole discretion, determine the Performance Goals, if any, applicable to any Award (including any adjustment(s) thereto that will be applied in determining the achievement of such Performance Goals) on or prior to the Determination Date. The Performance Goals may differ from Participant to Participant and from Award to Award. The Administrator shall determine and approve the extent to which such Performance Goals have been timely achieved and the extent to which the Shares subject to such Award have thereby been earned.

(f) Section 16 of the Exchange Act. Awards granted to Participants who are Insiders must be approved by two or more “non-employee directors” of the Board (as defined in the regulations promulgated under Section 16 of the Exchange Act).

C-8

5. Award Eligibility. Nonstatutory Stock Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units and Stock Bonus Awards may be granted to Service Providers. Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to Employees.

6. Stock Options.

(a) Limitations. Each Option will be designated in the Award Agreement as either an Incentive Stock Option or a Nonstatutory Stock Option. However, notwithstanding such designation, to the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Shares with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by the Participant during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company and any Affiliate) exceeds one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000), such Options will be treated as Nonstatutory Stock Options. For purposes of this Section 6(a), Incentive Stock Options will be taken into account in the order in which they were granted. The Fair Market Value of the Shares will be determined as of the date the Option with respect to such Shares is granted. With respect to the Administrator’s authority in Section 4(b)(x), if, at the time of any such extension, the exercise price per Share of the Option is less than the Fair Market Value of a Share, the extension shall, unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, be limited to the earlier of (1) the maximum term of the Option as set by its original terms, or (2) ten (10) years from the grant date. Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, any extension of the term of an Option pursuant to this Section 6(a) shall comply with Section 409A of the Code to the extent necessary to avoid taxation thereunder.

(b) Term of Option. The term of each Option will be stated in the Award Agreement. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option, the term will be ten (10) years from the date of grant or such shorter term as may be provided in the Award Agreement. Moreover, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to a Participant who, at the time the Incentive Stock Option is granted, owns stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Affiliate, the term of the Incentive Stock Option will be five (5) years from the date of grant or such shorter term as may be provided in the Award Agreement.

(i) Exercise Price. The per share exercise price for the Shares to be issued pursuant to exercise of an Option will be determined by the Administrator, subject to the following:

(1) In the case of an Incentive Stock Option

(A) granted to an Employee who, at the time the Incentive Stock Option is granted, owns stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Affiliate, the per Share exercise price will be no less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant.

(B) granted to any Employee other than an Employee described in paragraph (A) immediately above, the per Share exercise price will be no less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant.

(2) In the case of a Nonstatutory Stock Option, the per Share exercise price will be no less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant.

(3) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Options may be granted with a per Share exercise price of less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant pursuant to a transaction described in, and in a manner consistent with, Section 424(a) of the Code.

(ii) Waiting Period and Exercise Dates. At the time an Option is granted, the Administrator will fix the period within which the Option may be exercised and will determine any conditions that must be satisfied

C-9

before the Option may be exercised. An Option may become exercisable upon completion of a specified period of service with the Company or an Affiliate and/or based on the achievement of Performance Goals during a Performance Period as set out in advance in the Participant’s Award Agreement. If an Option is exercisable based on the satisfaction of Performance Goals, then the Administrator will: (x) determine the nature, length and starting date of any Performance Period for such Option; (y) select the Performance Goals to be used to measure the performance; and (z) determine what additional vesting conditions, if any, should apply.

(iii) Form of Consideration. The Administrator will determine the acceptable form of consideration for exercising an Option, including the method of payment. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option, the Administrator will determine the acceptable form of consideration at the time of grant. Such consideration for both types of Options may consist entirely of: (1) cash; (2) check; (3) promissory note, to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws, (4) other Shares, provided that such Shares have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Shares as to which such Option will be exercised and provided that accepting such Shares will not result in any adverse accounting consequences to the Company, as the Administrator determines in its sole discretion; (5) consideration received by the Company under a broker-assisted (or other) cashless exercise program (whether through a broker or otherwise) implemented by the Company in connection with the Plan; (6) by net exercise; (7) such other consideration and method of payment for the issuance of Shares to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws; or (8) any combination of the foregoing methods of payment.

(d) Exercise of Option.

(i) Procedure for Exercise; Rights as a Stockholder. Any Option granted hereunder will be exercisable according to the terms of the Plan and at such times and under such conditions as determined by the Administrator and set forth in the Award Agreement. An Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a Share.

An Option will be deemed exercised when the Company receives: (i) a notice of exercise (in such form as the Administrator may specify from time to time) from the person entitled to exercise the Option, and (ii) full payment for the Shares with respect to which the Option is exercised (together with full payment of any applicable taxes or other amounts required to be withheld or deducted with respect to the Option). Full payment may consist of any consideration and method of payment authorized by the Administrator and permitted by the Award Agreement and the Plan. Shares issued upon exercise of an Option will be issued in the name of the Participant or, if requested by the Participant, in the name of the Participant and his or her spouse. Until the Shares are issued (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company), no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a stockholder will exist with respect to the Shares subject to an Option, notwithstanding the exercise of the Option. The Company will issue (or cause to be issued) such Shares promptly after the Option is exercised. No adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date the Shares are issued, except as provided in Section 15 of the Plan.

(ii) Termination of Relationship as a Service Provider. If a Participant ceases to be a Service Provider, other than upon the Participant’s termination as the result of the Participant’s death, Disability or Cause, the Participant may exercise his or her Option within such period of time as is specified in the Award Agreement to the extent that the Option is vested on the date of termination (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Award Agreement). In the absence of a specified time in the Award Agreement, the Option will remain exercisable for three (3) months following the Participant’s termination. Unless otherwise provided by the Administrator, if on the date of termination the Participant is not vested as to his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option will revert to the Plan. If after termination the Participant does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified by the Administrator, the Option will terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option will revert to the Plan.

(iii) Disability of Participant. If a Participant ceases to be a Service Provider as a result of the Participant’s Disability, the Participant may exercise his or her Option within such period of time as is specified

C-10

in the Award Agreement to the extent the Option is vested on the date of termination (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Award Agreement). In the absence of a specified time in the Award Agreement, the Option will remain exercisable for twelve (12) months following the Participant’s termination. Unless otherwise provided by the Administrator, if on the date of termination the Participant is not vested as to his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option will revert to the Plan. If after termination the Participant does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified herein, the Option will terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option will revert to the Plan.

(iv) Death of Participant. If a Participant dies while a Service Provider, the Option may be exercised following the Participant’s death within such period of time as is specified in the Award Agreement to the extent that the Option is vested on the date of death (but in no event may the Option be exercised later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Award Agreement), by the Participant’s designated beneficiary, provided such beneficiary has been designated prior to Participant’s death in a form acceptable to the Administrator. If no such beneficiary has been designated by the Participant, then such Option may be exercised by the personal representative of the Participant’s estate or by the person(s) to whom the Option is transferred pursuant to the Participant’s will or in accordance with the laws of descent and distribution. In the absence of a specified time in the Award Agreement, the Option will remain exercisable for twelve (12) months following Participant’s death. Unless otherwise provided by the Administrator, if on the date of termination the Participant is not vested as to his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option will revert to the Plan. If the Option is not so exercised within the time specified herein, the Option will terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option will revert to the Plan.

(v) Termination for Cause. If a Participant ceases to be a Service Provider as a result of being terminated for Cause, any outstanding Option (including any vested portion thereof) held by such Participant shall immediately terminate in its entirety upon the Participant being first notified of his or her termination for Cause and the Participant will be prohibited from exercising his or her Option from and after the date of such termination. All the Participant’s rights under any Option, including the right to exercise the Option, may be suspended pending an investigation of whether Participant will be terminated for Cause.

7. Restricted Stock.

(a) Grant of Restricted Stock. Subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan, the Administrator, at any time and from time to time, may grant Shares of Restricted Stock to Service Providers in such amounts as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, will determine.

(b) Restricted Stock Agreement. Each Award of Restricted Stock will be evidenced by an Award Agreement that will specify the Period of Restriction, the number of Shares granted, and such other terms and conditions as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, will determine. Unless the Administrator determines otherwise, the Company as escrow agent will hold Shares of Restricted Stock until the restrictions on such Shares have lapsed. These restrictions may lapse upon the completion of a specified period of service with the Company or an Affiliate and/or based on the achievement of Performance Goals during a Performance Period as set out in advance in the Participant’s Award Agreement. If the unvested Shares of Restricted Stock are being earned upon the satisfaction of Performance Goals, then the Administrator will: (x) determine the nature, length and starting date of any Performance Period for each unvested Share; (y) select the Performance Goals to be used to measure the performance; and (z) determine what additional vesting conditions, if any, should apply.

(c) Transferability. Except as provided in this Section 7 or the Award Agreement, Shares of Restricted Stock may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated until the end of the applicable Period of Restriction.

(d) Other Restrictions. The Administrator, in its sole discretion, may impose such other restrictions on Shares of Restricted Stock as it may deem advisable or appropriate.

C-11

(e) Removal of Restrictions. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 7, Shares of Restricted Stock covered by each Restricted Stock grant made under the Plan will be released from escrow as soon as practicable after the last day of the Period of Restriction or at such other time as the Administrator may determine. The Administrator, in its discretion, may accelerate the time at which any restrictions will lapse or be removed.

(f) Voting Rights. During the Period of Restriction, Service Providers holding Shares of Restricted Stock granted hereunder may exercise full voting rights with respect to those Shares, unless the Administrator determines otherwise.

(g) Dividends and Other Distributions. During the Period of Restriction, Service Providers holding Shares of Restricted Stock will be entitled to receive all dividends and other distributions paid with respect to such Shares, unless the Administrator provides otherwise. If any such dividends or distributions are paid in Shares, the Shares will be subject to the same restrictions, including, without limitation, restrictions on transferability and forfeitability, as the Shares of Restricted Stock with respect to which they were paid. During the Period of Restriction, such dividends or other distributions shall be subject to the same restrictions and risk of forfeiture as the shares of Restricted Stock with respect to which the dividends accrue and shall not be paid or distributed unless and until such related Shares have vested and been earned.

(h) Return of Restricted Stock to Company. On the date set forth in the Award Agreement, the Restricted Stock for which restrictions have not lapsed will be cancelled and returned as unissued Shares to the Company and again will become available for grant under the Plan.

8. Restricted Stock Units.

(a) Grant. Restricted Stock Units may be granted at any time and from time to time as determined by the Administrator. After the Administrator determines that it will grant Restricted Stock Units under the Plan, it will advise the Participant in an Award Agreement of the terms, conditions, and restrictions (if any) related to the grant, including the number of Restricted Stock Units.

(b) Vesting Criteria and Other Terms. The Administrator will set vesting criteria in its discretion, which, depending on the extent to which the criteria are met, will determine the number of Restricted Stock Units that will be paid out to the Participant. A Restricted Stock Unit Award may vest upon completion of a specified period of service with the Company or an Affiliate and/or based on the achievement of Performance Goals during a Performance Period as set out in advance in the Participant’s Award Agreement. If Restricted Stock Units vest based upon satisfaction of Performance Goals, then the Administrator will: (x) determine the nature, length and starting date of any Performance Period for the Restricted Stock Units; (y) select the Performance Goals to be used to measure the performance; and (z) determine what additional vesting conditions, if any, should apply.

(c) Earning Restricted Stock Units. Upon meeting the applicable vesting criteria, the Participant will be entitled to receive a payout as determined by the Administrator. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time after the grant of Restricted Stock Units, the Administrator, in its sole discretion, may reduce or waive any vesting criteria that must be met to receive a payout.

(d) Dividend Equivalents. The Administrator may, in its sole discretion, award dividend equivalents in connection with the grant of Restricted Stock Units that may be settled in cash, in Shares of equivalent value, or in some combination thereof.

(e) Form and Timing of Payment. Payment of earned Restricted Stock Units will be made upon the date(s) determined by the Administrator and set forth in the Award Agreement. The Administrator, in its sole discretion, may only settle earned Restricted Stock Units in cash, Shares, or a combination of both.

(f) Cancellation. On the date set forth in the Award Agreement, all Shares underlying any unvested, unlapsed unearned Restricted Stock Units will be forfeited to the Company for future issuance.

C-12

9. Stock Appreciation Rights.

(a) Grant of Stock Appreciation Rights. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, a Stock Appreciation Right may be granted to Service Providers at any time and from time to time as will be determined by the Administrator, in its sole discretion.

(b) Number of Shares. The Administrator will have complete discretion to determine the number of Stock Appreciation Rights granted to any Service Provider.

(c) Exercise Price and Other Terms. The per share exercise price for the Shares to be issued pursuant to exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right will be determined by the Administrator and will be no less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant. Otherwise, the Administrator, subject to the provisions of the Plan, will have complete discretion to determine the terms and conditions of Stock Appreciation Rights granted under the Plan.

(d) Stock Appreciation Right Agreement. Each Stock Appreciation Right grant will be evidenced by an Award Agreement that will specify the exercise price, the term of the Stock Appreciation Right, the conditions of exercise, and such other terms and conditions as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, will determine. A Stock Appreciation Right may become exercisable upon completion of a specified period of service with the Company or an Affiliate and/or based on the achievement of Performance Goals during a Performance Period as set out in advance in the Participant’s Award Agreement. If a Stock Appreciation Right is exercisable based on the satisfaction of Performance Goals, then the Administrator will: (x) determine the nature, length and starting date of any Performance Period for such Stock Appreciation Right; (y) select the Performance Goals to be used to measure the performance; and (z) determine what additional vesting conditions, if any, should apply.

(e) Expiration of Stock Appreciation Rights. A Stock Appreciation Right granted under the Plan will expire upon the date determined by the Administrator, in its sole discretion, and set forth in the Award Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the rules of Section 6(b) relating to the maximum term and Section 6(d) relating to exercise also will apply to Stock Appreciation Rights.

(f) Payment of Stock Appreciation Right Amount. Upon exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right, a Participant will be entitled to receive payment from the Company in an amount determined by multiplying:

(i) The difference between the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of exercise over the exercise price; times

(ii) The number of Shares with respect to which the Stock Appreciation Right is exercised.

At the discretion of the Administrator, the payment upon Stock Appreciation Right exercise may be in cash, in Shares of equivalent value, or in some combination thereof.

10. Stock Bonus Awards.

(a) Awards of Stock Bonuses. A Stock Bonus Award is an award of Shares to an eligible person without a purchase price that is not subject to any restrictions. All Stock Bonus Awards may but are not required to be made pursuant to an Award Agreement.

(b) Terms of Stock Bonus Awards. The Administrator will determine the number of Shares to be awarded to the Participant under a Stock Bonus Award.

(c) Form of Payment to Participant. Payment may be made in the form of cash, whole Shares, or a combination thereof, based on the Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to the Stock Bonus Award on the date of payment, as determined in the sole discretion of the Administrator.

C-13

11. Outside Director Limitations. Stock awards granted during a single fiscal year under the Plan or otherwise, taken together with any cash fees paid during such fiscal year for services on the Board, shall not exceed $750,000 in total value for any Outside Director, except with respect to the first year of service in which case any stock awards granted and cash fees paid will not exceed $1,000,000 in total value (calculating the value of any such stock awards, in each case, based on the grant date fair value of such stock awards for financial reporting purposes). Such applicable limit shall include the value of any stock awards that are received in lieu of all or a portion of any annual committee cash retainers or other similar cash based payments. Stock awards granted to an individual while he or she was serving in the capacity as an Employee or while he or she was an Independent Contractor but not an Outside Director will not count for purposes of the limitations set forth in this Section 11.

12. Leaves of Absence/Transfer Between Locations. The Administrator shall have the discretion to determine at any time whether and to what extent the vesting of Awards shall be suspended during any leave of absence; provided, however, that in the absence of such determination, vesting of Awards shall continue during any paid leave and shall be suspended during any unpaid leave (unless otherwise required by Applicable Laws). A Participant will not cease to be an Employee in the case of (i) any leave of absence approved by the Participant’s employer or (ii) transfers between locations of the Company or between the Company or any Affiliate. If an Employee is holding an Incentive Stock Option and such leave exceeds three (3) months then, for purposes of Incentive Stock Option status only, such Employee’s service as an Employee shall be deemed terminated on the first (1^st) day following such three (3) month period and the Incentive Stock Option shall thereafter automatically treated for tax purposes as a Nonstatutory Stock Option in accordance with Applicable Laws, unless reemployment upon the expiration of such leave is guaranteed by contract or statute, or unless provided otherwise pursuant to a written Company policy.

13. Change in Time Commitment. In the event a Participant’s regular level of time commitment in the performance of his or her services for the Company or any Affiliates is reduced (for example, and without limitation, if the Participant is an Employee of the Company and the Employee has a change in status from full-time to part-time or takes an extended leave of absence) after the date of grant of any Award, the Committee or the Administrator, in that party’s sole discretion, may (x) make a corresponding reduction in the number of Shares or cash amount subject to any portion of such Award that is scheduled to vest or become payable after the date of such change in time commitment, and (y) in lieu of or in combination with such a reduction, extend the vesting schedule applicable to such Award (in accordance with Section 409A of the Code, as applicable). In the event of any such reduction, the Participant will have no right with respect to any portion of the Award that is so amended.

14. Transferability of Awards. Unless determined otherwise by the Administrator, an Award may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution and may be exercised, during the lifetime of the Participant, only by the Participant. If the Administrator makes an Award transferable, such Award will contain such additional terms and conditions as the Administrator deems appropriate provided, however, that in no event may any Award be transferred for consideration to a third-party financial institution.

15. Adjustments; Dissolution or Liquidation; Merger or Change in Control.

(a) Adjustments. In the event of a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination, consolidation, recapitalization (including a recapitalization through a large nonrecurring cash dividend) or reclassification of the Shares, subdivision of the Shares, a rights offering, a reorganization, merger, spin-off, split-up, repurchase, or exchange of Common Stock or other securities of the Company or other significant corporate transaction, or other change affecting the Common Stock occurs, the Administrator, in order to prevent dilution, diminution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan, will, in such manner as it may deem equitable, adjust the number, kind and class of securities that may be delivered under the Plan and/or the number, class, kind and price of securities covered by each outstanding Award. Notwithstanding the forgoing, all adjustments under this Section 15 shall be made in a manner that does not result in taxation under Section 409A of the Code.

C-14

(b) Dissolution or Liquidation. In the event of the proposed winding up, dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Administrator will notify each Participant as soon as practicable prior to the effective date of such proposed transaction. To the extent it has not been previously exercised or settled, an Award will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action.

(c) Corporate Transaction. In the event of (i) a transfer of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, (ii) a merger, consolidation or other capital reorganization or business combination transaction of the Company with or into another corporation, entity or person, (iii) the consummation of a transaction, or series of related transactions, in which any “person” (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act) becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the Company’s then outstanding capital stock or (iv) a Change in Control (each, a “Corporate Transaction”), each outstanding Award (vested or unvested) will be treated as the Administrator determines, which determination may be made without the consent of any Participant and need not treat all outstanding Awards (or portion thereof) in an identical manner. Such determination, without the consent of any Participant, may provide (without limitation) for one or more of the following in the event of a Corporate Transaction: (A) the continuation of such outstanding Awards by the Company (if the Company is the surviving corporation); (B) the assumption of such outstanding Awards by the surviving corporation or its parent; (C) the substitution by the surviving corporation or its parent of new options or other equity awards for such Awards; (D) the cancellation of such Awards in exchange for a payment to the Participants equal to the excess of (1) the Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to such Awards as of the closing date of such Corporate Transaction over (2) the exercise price or purchase price paid or to be paid (if any) for the Shares subject to the Awards; provided further, that at the discretion of the Administrator, such payment may be subject to the same conditions that apply to the consideration that will be paid to holders of Shares in connection with the transaction; provided, however, that any payout in connection with a terminated award shall comply with Section 409A of the Code to the extent necessary to avoid taxation thereunder; (E) the full or partial acceleration of exercisability or vesting and accelerated expiration of an outstanding Award and lapse of the Company’s right to repurchase or re-acquire Shares acquired under an Award or lapse of forfeiture rights with respect to Shares acquired under an Award; (F) the opportunity for Participants to exercise their Options prior to the occurrence of the Corporate Transaction and the termination (for no consideration) upon the consummation of such Corporate Transaction of any Options not exercised prior thereto; or (G) the cancellation of outstanding Awards in exchange for no consideration.

(d) Change in Control. An Award may be subject to additional acceleration of vesting and exercisability upon or after a Change in Control as may be provided in the Award Agreement for such Award or as may be provided in any other written agreement between the Company or any Affiliate and the Participant, but in the absence of such provision, no such acceleration will occur.

16. Tax.

(a) Withholding Requirements. Prior to the delivery of any Shares or cash pursuant to an Award (or exercise thereof) or prior to any time the Award or Shares are subject to taxation or other Tax-Related Items, the Company and/or the Participant’s employer will have the power and the right to deduct or withhold, or require a Participant to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy any Tax-Related Items or other items that are required to be withheld or deducted or otherwise applicable with respect to such Award.

(b) Withholding Arrangements. The Administrator, in its sole discretion and pursuant to such procedures as it may specify from time to time, may permit a Participant to satisfy such withholding or deduction obligations or any other Tax-Related Items, in whole or in part by (without limitation) (a) paying cash, (b) electing to have the Company withhold otherwise deliverable cash or Shares, or (c) delivering to the Company already-owned Shares; provided that, unless specifically permitted by the Company, any proceeds derived from a cashless exercise must be an approved broker-assisted cashless exercise or the cash or Shares withheld or delivered must be limited to avoid financial accounting charges under applicable accounting guidance or Shares must have been previously held for the minimum duration required to avoid financial accounting charges under applicable accounting guidance. The Fair Market Value of the Shares to be withheld or

C-15

delivered will be determined based on such methodology that the Company deems to be reasonable and in accordance with Applicable Laws.

(c) Compliance With Section 409A of the Code. Awards will be designed and operated in such a manner that they are either exempt from the application of, or comply with, the requirements of Section 409A of the Code such that the grant, payment, settlement or deferral will not be subject to the additional tax or interest applicable under Section 409A of the Code. The Plan and each Award Agreement under the Plan is intended to meet the requirements of Section 409A of the Code (or an exemption therefrom) and will be construed and interpreted in accordance with such intent, except as otherwise determined in the sole discretion of the Administrator. To the extent that an Award or payment, or the settlement or deferral thereof, is subject to Section 409A of the Code the Award will be granted, paid, settled or deferred in a manner that will meet the requirements of Section 409A of the Code (or an exemption therefrom), such that the grant, payment, settlement or deferral will not be subject to the additional tax or interest applicable under Section 409A of the Code. In no event will the Company be responsible for or reimburse a Participant for any taxes or other penalties incurred as a result of applicable of Section 409A of the Code.

17. No Effect on Employment or Service. Neither the Plan nor any Award will confer upon a Participant any right with respect to continuing the Participant’s relationship as a Service Provider with the Company or any Affiliate, nor will they interfere in any way with the Participant’s right or the Company’s or any Affiliate’s right to terminate such relationship at any time, with or without cause, to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws.

18. Date of Grant. The date of grant of an Award will be, for all purposes, the date on which the Administrator makes the determination granting such Award, or such other later date as is determined by the Administrator. Notice of the determination will be provided to each Participant within a reasonable time after the date of such grant.

19. Corporate Records Control. In the event that the corporate records (e.g., Board consents, resolutions or minutes) documenting the corporate action constituting the grant contain terms (e.g., exercise price, vesting schedule or number of Shares) that are inconsistent with those in the Award Agreement or related grant documents as a result of a clerical error in the papering of the Award Agreement or related grant documents, the corporate records will control and the Participant will have no legally binding right to the incorrect term in the Award Agreement or related grant documents.

20. Clawback/Recovery. The Administrator may specify in an Award Agreement that the Participant’s rights, payments, and/or benefits with respect to an Award will be subject to reduction, cancellation, forfeiture, and/or recoupment upon the occurrence of certain specified events, in addition to any applicable vesting, performance or other conditions and restrictions of an Award. Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary under this Plan, an Award granted under the Plan shall be subject to the Company’s clawback policy as may be established and/or amended from time to time. The Administrator may require a Participant to forfeit or return to and/or reimburse the Company for all or a portion of the Award and/or Shares issued under the Award, any amounts paid under the Award, and any payments or proceeds paid or provided upon disposition of the Shares issued under the Award, pursuant to the terms of such Company policy or as necessary or appropriate to comply with Applicable Laws.

21. Term of Plan. Subject to Section 25 of the Plan, the Plan will become effective as of the Effective Date. The Plan will continue in effect for a term of ten (10) years measured from the earlier of the date the Board approves this Plan or the approval of this Plan by the Company’s stockholders, unless terminated earlier under Section 22 of the Plan.

22. Amendment and Termination of the Plan.

(a) Amendment and Termination. The Administrator may at any time amend, alter, suspend or terminate the Plan.

C-16

(b) Stockholder Approval. The Company will obtain stockholder approval of any Plan amendment to the extent necessary and desirable to comply with Applicable Laws.

(c) Effect of Amendment or Termination. No amendment, alteration, suspension or termination of the Plan will materially impair the rights of any Participant, unless mutually agreed otherwise between the Participant and the Administrator, which agreement must be in writing and signed by the Participant and the Company. Termination of the Plan will not affect the Administrator’s ability to exercise the powers granted to it hereunder with respect to Awards granted under the Plan prior to the date of such termination.

23. Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares.

(a) Legal Compliance. Shares will not be issued pursuant to the exercise or vesting (as applicable) of an Award unless the exercise or vesting of such Award and the issuance and delivery of such Shares will comply with Applicable Laws and will be further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance.

(b) Investment Representations. As a condition to the exercise of an Award, the Company may require the person exercising such Award to represent and warrant at the time of any such exercise that the Shares are being purchased only for investment and without any present intention to sell or distribute such Shares if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such a representation is required.

24. Inability to Obtain Authority. The inability of the Company to obtain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which authority is deemed by the Company’s counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Shares hereunder, will relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such Shares as to which such requisite authority will not have been obtained.

25. Stockholder Approval. The Plan will be subject to approval by the stockholders of the Company within twelve (12) months after the date the Plan is adopted by the Board. Such stockholder approval will be obtained in the manner and to the degree required under Applicable Laws.

26. Governing Law. The Plan and all Awards hereunder shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of California, but without regard to its conflict of law provisions.

DAVE INC.

2021 EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN

1. General; Purpose.

(a) Purpose. The Plan provides a means by which Eligible Employees and/or Eligible Service Providers of either the Company or a Designated Company may be given an opportunity to purchase shares of Common Stock. The Plan permits the Company to grant a series of Purchase Rights to Eligible Employees and/or Eligible Service Providers. The Company, by means of the Plan, seeks to retain and assist its Related Corporations or Affiliates in retaining the services of such Eligible Employees and Eligible Service Providers, to secure and retain the services of new Eligible Employees and Eligible Service Providers and to provide incentives for such persons to exert maximum efforts for the success of the Company and its Related Corporations and Affiliates.

(b) Qualified and Non-Qualified Offerings Permitted. The Plan includes two components: a 423 Component and a Non-423 Component. The Company intends (but makes no undertaking or representation to maintain) the 423 Component to qualify as an Employee Stock Purchase Plan. The provisions of the 423 Component, accordingly, will be construed in a manner that is consistent with the requirements of Section 423 of the Code, including without limitation, to extend and limit Plan participation in a uniform and non-discriminating basis. In addition, this Plan authorizes grants of Purchase Rights under the Non-423 Component that do not meet the requirements of an Employee Stock Purchase Plan. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or determined by the Board, the Non-423 Component will operate and be administered in the same manner as the 423 Component. In addition, the Company may make separate Offerings which vary in terms (provided that such terms are not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan or the requirements of an Employee Stock Purchase Plan, except in each case with respect to a Non-423 Component), and the Company will designate which Designated Company is participating in each separate Offering and if any Eligible Service Providers will be eligible to participate in a separate Offering. Eligible Employees will be able to participate in the 423 Component or Non-423 Component of the Plan. Eligible Service Providers will only be able to participate in the Non-423 Component of the Plan.

2. Administration.

(a) The Board will administer the Plan unless and until the Board delegates administration of the Plan to a Committee or Committees, as provided in Section 2(c).

(b) The Board will have the power, subject to, and within the limitations of, the express provisions of the Plan:

(i) To determine how and when Purchase Rights will be granted and the provisions of each Offering (which need not be identical).

(ii) To designate from time to time which Related Corporations will be eligible to participate in the Plan as Designated 423 Corporations or as Designated Non-423 Corporations, which Affiliates will be eligible to participate in the Plan as Designated Non-423 Corporations, and which Designated Companies will participate in each separate Offering (to the extent that the Company makes separate Offerings).

(iii) To designate from time to time which persons will be elibible to participate in the Non-423 Compnent of the Plan as Eligible Service Providers and which Eligible Service Providers will participate in each separate Offering (to the extent that the Company makes separate Offerings).

Annex D-1

(iv) To construe and interpret the Plan and Purchase Rights, and to establish, amend and revoke rules and regulations for its administration. The Board, in the exercise of this power, may correct any defect, omission or inconsistency in the Plan, in a manner and to the extent it deems necessary or expedient to make the Plan fully effective.

(v) To settle all controversies regarding the Plan and Purchase Rights granted under the Plan.

(vi) To suspend or terminate the Plan at any time as provided in Section 12.

(vii) To amend the Plan at any time as provided in Section 12.

(viii) Generally, to exercise such powers and to perform such acts as it deems necessary or expedient to promote the best interests of the Company, its Related Corporations, and Affiliates and to carry out the intent that the 423 Component be treated as an Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

(ix) To adopt such rules, procedures and sub-plans relating to the operation and administration of the Plan as are necessary or appropriate under Applicable Laws to permit or facilitate participation in the Plan by Employees or Eligible Service Providers who are foreign nationals or employed or providing services or located or otherwise subject to the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States. Without limiting the generality of, but consistent with, the foregoing, the Board specifically is authorized to adopt rules, procedures, and sub-plans, which, for purposes of the Non-423 Component, may be beyond the scope of Section 423 of the Code, regarding, without limitation, eligibility to participate in the Plan, handling and making of Contributions, establishment of bank or trust accounts to hold Contributions, payment of interest, conversion of local currency, obligations to pay payroll tax, determination of beneficiary designation requirements, withholding procedures and handling of share issuances, any of which may vary according to Applicable Laws.

(c) The Board may delegate some or all of the administration of the Plan to a Committee or Committees. If administration is delegated to a Committee, the Committee will have, in connection with the administration of the Plan, the powers theretofore possessed by the Board that have been delegated to the Committee, including the power to delegate to a subcommittee any of the administrative powers the Committee is authorized to exercise (and references in this Plan to the Board will thereafter be to the Committee or subcommittee), subject, however, to such resolutions, not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, as may be adopted from time to time by the Board and Applicable Laws. The Board may retain the authority to concurrently administer the Plan with the Committee and may, at any time, revest in the Board some or all of the powers previously delegated. Whether or not the Board has delegated administration of the Plan to a Committee, the Board will have the final power to determine all questions of policy and expediency that may arise in the administration of the Plan.

(d) All determinations, interpretations and constructions made by the Board in good faith will not be subject to review by any person and will be final, binding and conclusive on all persons.

3. Shares of Common Stock Subject to the Plan.

(a) Number of Shares Available; Automatic Increases. Subject to the provisions of Section 11(a) relating to Capitalization Adjustments, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued under the Plan will not exceed [●]¹ shares of Common Stock, plus the number of shares of Common Stock that are automatically added on the first day of each Fiscal Year beginning with the 2022 Fiscal Year and ending on (and including) the first day of the 2032 Fiscal Year, in each case, in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) 1% of the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the last day of the calendar month prior to the date

¹	To be equal to 2% of the aggregate number of shares of Combined Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately after the Closing on a fully-diluted and as-converted basis (after giving effect to the VPCC Share Redemptions, if any).

of such automatic increase (calculated on a fully-diluted and as-converted basis), and (ii) [●]² shares of Common Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board may act prior to the first day of any fiscal year to provide that there will be no increase in the share reserve for such fiscal year or that the increase in the share reserve for such fiscal year will be a lesser number of shares of Common Stock than would otherwise occur pursuant to the preceding sentence.

(b) Share Recycling. If any Purchase Right granted under the Plan terminates without having been exercised in full, the shares of Common Stock not purchased under such Purchase Right will again become available for issuance under the Plan.

(c) Source of Shares. The stock purchasable under the Plan will be shares of authorized but unissued or reacquired Common Stock, including shares repurchased by the Company on the open market.

4. Grant of Purchase Rights; Offering.

(a) Offerings. The Board may from time to time grant or provide for the grant of Purchase Rights to Eligible Employees and/or Eligible Service Providers under an Offering (consisting of one or more Purchase Periods) on an Offering Date or Offering Dates selected by the Board. Each Offering will be in such form and will contain such terms and conditions as the Board will deem appropriate, and, with respect to the 423 Component, will comply with the requirement of Section 423(b)(5) of the Code that all Employees granted Purchase Rights will have the same rights and privileges. The terms and conditions of an Offering will be incorporated by reference into the Plan and treated as part of the Plan. The provisions of separate Offerings need not be identical, but each Offering will include (through incorporation of the provisions of this Plan by reference in the Offering Document or otherwise) the period during which the Offering will be effective, which period will not exceed 27 months beginning with the Offering Date, and the substance of the provisions contained in Sections 5 through 8, inclusive.

(b) More than One Purchase Right. If a Participant has more than one Purchase Right outstanding under the Plan, unless he or she otherwise indicates in forms delivered to the Company: (i) each form will apply to all of his or her Purchase Rights under the Plan, and (ii) a Purchase Right with a lower exercise price (or an earlier-granted Purchase Right, if different Purchase Rights have identical exercise prices) will be exercised to the fullest possible extent before a Purchase Right with a higher exercise price (or a later-granted Purchase Right if different Purchase Rights have identical exercise prices) will be exercised.

(c) Restart Provision Permitted. The Board will have the discretion to structure an Offering so that if the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the first Trading Day of a new Purchase Period within that Offering is less than or equal to the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the Offering Date for that Offering, then (i) that Offering will terminate immediately as of that first Trading Day, and (ii) the Participants in such terminated Offering will be automatically enrolled in a new Offering beginning on the first Trading Day of such new Offering Period and Purchase Period.

5. Eligibility.

(a) General. Purchase Rights may be granted only to Employees of the Company or, as the Board may designate in accordance with Section 2(b), to Employees of a Related Corporation or, solely with respect to the Non-423 Component, Employees of an Affiliate or Eligible Service Providers.

²	To be equal to 2% of the aggregate number of shares of Combined Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately after the Closing on a fully-diluted and as-converted basis (after giving effect to the VPCC Share Redemptions, if any).

D-3

(b) Grant of Purchase Rights in Ongoing Offering. The Board may provide that Employees will not be eligible to be granted Purchase Rights under the Plan if, on the Offering Date, the Employee (i) has not completed at least two (2) years of service since the Employee’s last hire date (or such lesser period of time as may be determined by the Board in its discretion), (ii) customarily works not more than twenty (20) hours per week (or such lesser period of time as may be determined by the Board in its discretion), (iii) customarily works not more than five (5) months per calendar year (or such lesser period of time as may be determined by the Board in its discretion), (iv) is a highly compensated employee within the meaning of Section 423(b)(4)(D) of the Code, or (v) has not satisfied such other criteria as the Board may determine consistent with Section 423 of the Code. Unless otherwise determined by the Board for any Offering Period, an Employee will not be eligible to be granted Purchase Rights unless, on the Offering Date, the Employee customarily works more than twenty (20) hours per week and more than five (5) months per calendar year.

(c) 5% Stockholders Excluded. No Employee will be eligible for the grant of any Purchase Rights if, immediately after any such Purchase Rights are granted, such Employee owns stock possessing five (5) percent or more of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of stock of the Company or of any Related Corporation. For purposes of this Section 5(c), the rules of Section 424(d) of the Code will apply in determining the stock ownership of any Employee, and stock which such Employee may purchase under all outstanding Purchase Rights and options will be treated as stock owned by such Employee.

(d) $25,000 Limit. As specified by Section 423(b)(8) of the Code, an Eligible Employee may be granted Purchase Rights only if such Purchase Rights, together with any other rights granted under all Employee Stock Purchase Plans of the Company and any Related Corporations, do not permit such Eligible Employee’s rights to purchase stock of the Company or any Related Corporation to accrue at a rate which, when aggregated, exceeds U.S. $25,000 of Fair Market Value of such stock (determined at the time such rights are granted, and which, with respect to the Plan, will be determined as of their respective Offering Dates) for each calendar year in which such rights are outstanding at any time.

(e) Service Requirement. An Eligible Service Provider will not be eligible to be granted Purchase Rights unless the Eligible Service Provider is providing bonafide services to the Company or a Designated Company on the applicable Offering Date.

(f) Non-423 Component Offerings. Notwithstanding anything set forth herein except for Section 5(d) above, the Board may establish additional eligibility requirements, or fewer eligibility requirements, for Employees and/or Eligible Service Providers with respect to Offerings made under the Non-423 Component even if such requirements are not consistent with Section 423 of the Code.

6. Purchase Rights; Purchase Price.

(a) Grant and Maximum Contribution Rate. On each Offering Date, each Eligible Employee or Eligible Service Provider, pursuant to an Offering made under the Plan, will be granted a Purchase Right to purchase up to that number of shares of Common Stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share) purchasable either with a percentage or with a maximum dollar amount, as designated by the Board; provided however, that in the case of Eligible Employees, such percentage or maximum dollar amount will in either case not exceed 15% of such Employee’s earnings (as defined by the Board in each Offering) during the period that begins on the Offering Date (or such later date as the Board determines for a particular Offering) and ends on the date stated in the Offering, which date will be no later than the end of the Offering, unless otherwise provided for in an Offering.

(b) Purchase Dates. The Board will establish one or more Purchase Dates during an Offering on which Purchase Rights granted for that Offering will be exercised and shares of Common Stock will be purchased in accordance with such Offering.

(c) Other Purchase Limitations. In connection with each Offering made under the Plan, the Board may specify (i) a maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be purchased by any Participant on any

D-4

Purchase Date during such Offering, (ii) a maximum aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be purchased by all Participants pursuant to such Offering, and (iii) a maximum aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be purchased by all Participants on any Purchase Date under the Offering. If the aggregate purchase of shares of Common Stock issuable on exercise of Purchase Rights granted under the Offering would exceed any such maximum aggregate number, then, in the absence of any Board action otherwise, a pro rata (based on each Participant’s accumulated Contributions) allocation of the shares of Common Stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share) available will be made in as nearly a uniform manner as will be practicable and equitable.

(d) Purchase Price. The purchase price of shares of Common Stock acquired pursuant to Purchase Rights will be not less than the lesser of:

(i) an amount equal to 85% of the Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock on the Offering Date; or

(ii) an amount equal to 85% of the Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock on the applicable Purchase Date.

7. Participation; Withdrawal; Termination.

(a) Enrollment. An Eligible Employee may elect to authorize payroll deductions as the means of making Contributions by completing and delivering to the Company, within the time specified by the Company, an enrollment form provided by the Company or any third party designated by the Company (each, a “Company Designee”). The enrollment form will specify the amount of Contributions not to exceed the maximum amount specified by the Board. Each Participant’s Contributions will be credited to a bookkeeping account for such Participant under the Plan and will be deposited with the general funds of the Company except where Applicable Laws require that Contributions be deposited with a Company Designee or otherwise be segregated.

(b) Contributions. If permitted in the Offering, a Participant may begin Contributions with the first payroll or payment date occurring on or after the Offering Date (or, in the case of a payroll date or payment date that occurs after the end of the prior Offering but before the Offering Date of the next new Offering, Contributions from such payroll or payment will be included in the new Offering) or on such other date as set forth in the Offering. If permitted in the Offering, a Participant may thereafter reduce (including to zero) or increase his or her Contributions. If required under Applicable Laws or if specifically provided in the Offering, in addition to or instead of making Contributions by payroll deductions, a Participant may make Contributions through a payment by cash, check, or wire transfer prior to a Purchase Date, in a manner directed by the Company or a Company Designee.

(c) Withdrawals. During an Offering, a Participant may cease making Contributions and withdraw from the Offering by delivering to the Company or a Company Designee a withdrawal form provided by the Company. The Company may impose a deadline before a Purchase Date for withdrawing. On such withdrawal, such Participant’s Purchase Right in that Offering will immediately terminate and the Company will distribute as soon as practicable to such Participant all of his or her accumulated but unused Contributions without interest and such Participant’s Purchase Right in that Offering will then terminate. A Participant’s withdrawal from that Offering will have no effect on his or her eligibility to participate in any other Offerings under the Plan, but such Participant will be required to deliver a new enrollment form to participate in subsequent Offerings.

(d) Termination of Eligibility. Purchase Rights granted pursuant to any Offering under the Plan will terminate immediately if the Participant either (i) is no longer an Eligible Employee or Eligible Service Provider for any reason or for no reason, or (ii) is otherwise no longer eligible to participate. The Company shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when Participant is no longer actively providing services and the date of the termination of employment or service for purposes of the Plan. As soon as practicable, the Company will distribute to such individual all of his or her accumulated but unused Contributions without interest.

D-5

(e) Leave of Absence. For purposes of this Section 7, an Employee will not be deemed to have terminated employment or failed to remain in the continuous employ of the Company or of a Designated Company in the case of sick leave, military leave, or any other leave of absence approved by the Company; provided that such leave is for a period of not more than three (3) months or reemployment upon the expiration of such leave is guaranteed by contract or statute. The Company will have sole discretion to determine whether a Participant has terminated employment and the effective date on which the Participant terminated employment, regardless of any notice period or garden leave required under local law.

(f) Employment Transfers. Unless otherwise determined by the Board, a Participant whose employment transfers or whose employment terminates with an immediate rehire (with no break in service) by or between the Company and a Designated Company or between Designated Companies will not be treated as having terminated employment for purposes of participating in the Plan or an Offering; however, if a Participant transfers from an Offering under the 423 Component to an Offering under the Non-423 Component, the exercise of the Participant’s Purchase Right will be qualified under the 423 Component only to the extent such exercise complies with Section 423 of the Code. If a Participant transfers from an Offering under the Non-423 Component to an Offering under the 423 Component, the exercise of the Purchase Right will remain non-qualified under the Non-423 Component. In the event that a Participant’s Purchase Right is terminated under the Plan, the Company will distribute as soon as practicable to such individual all of his or her accumulated but unused Contributions.

(g) No Transfers of Purchase Rights. During a Participant’s lifetime, Purchase Rights will be exercisable only by such Participant. Purchase Rights are not transferable by a Participant, except by will, by the laws of descent and distribution, or, if permitted by the Company, by a beneficiary designation as described in Section 10.

(h) No Interest. Unless otherwise specified in the Offering or required by Applicable Law, the Company will have no obligation to pay interest on Contributions.

8. Exercise of Purchase Rights.

(a) On each Purchase Date, each Participant’s accumulated Contributions will be applied to the purchase of shares of Common Stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share), up to the maximum number of shares of Common Stock permitted by the Plan and the applicable Offering, at the purchase price specified in the Offering. No fractional shares will be issued unless specifically provided for in the Offering.

(b) Unless otherwise provided in the Offering, if any amount of accumulated Contributions remains in a Participant’s account after the purchase of shares of Common Stock on the final Purchase Date in an Offering, then such remaining amount will roll over to the next Offering.

(c) No Purchase Rights may be exercised to any extent unless the shares of Common Stock to be issued on such exercise under the Plan are covered by an effective registration statement pursuant to the Securities Act and the Plan is in material compliance with all Applicable Laws. If on a Purchase Date the shares of Common Stock are not so registered or the Plan is not in such compliance, no Purchase Rights will be exercised on such Purchase Date, and the Purchase Date will be delayed until the shares of Common Stock are subject to such an effective registration statement and the Plan is in material compliance, except that the Purchase Date will in no event be more than three (3) months from the original Purchase Date. If, on the Purchase Date, as delayed to the maximum extent permissible, the shares of Common Stock are not registered and the Plan is not in material compliance with all Applicable Laws, as determined by the Company in its sole discretion, no Purchase Rights will be exercised and all accumulated but unused Contributions will be distributed as soon as practicable to the Participants without interest.

9. Covenants of the Company. The Company will seek to obtain from each U.S. federal or state, foreign or other regulatory commission or agency having jurisdiction over the Plan such authority as may be required to

D-6

grant Purchase Rights and issue and sell shares of Common Stock thereunder unless the Company determines, in its sole discretion, that doing so would cause the Company to incur costs that are unreasonable. If, after commercially reasonable efforts, the Company is unable to obtain the authority that counsel for the Company deems necessary for the grant of Purchase Rights or the lawful issuance and sale of Common Stock under the Plan, and at a commercially reasonable cost, the Company will be relieved from any liability for failure to grant Purchase Rights or to issue and sell Common Stock on exercise of such Purchase Rights.

10. Designation of Beneficiary.

(a) The Company may, but is not obligated to, permit a Participant to submit a form designating a beneficiary who will receive any shares of Common Stock or Contributions from the Participant’s account under the Plan if the Participant dies before such shares or Contributions are delivered to the Participant. The Company may, but is not obligated to, permit the Participant to change such designation of beneficiary. Any such designation or change must be on a form approved by the Company or as approved by the Company for use by a Company Designee.

(b) If a Participant dies, in the absence of a valid beneficiary designation, the Company will deliver any shares of Common Stock and Contributions to the executor or administrator of the estate of the Participant. If no executor or administrator has been appointed (to the knowledge of the Company), the Company, in its sole discretion, may deliver such shares of Common Stock and Contributions, without interest, to the Participant’s spouse, dependents or relatives, or if no spouse, dependent or relative is known to the Company, then to such other person as the Company may designate.

11. Capitalization Adjustments; Dissolution or Liquidation; Corporate Transactions.

(a) Capitalization Adjustment. In the event of a Capitalization Adjustment, the Board will appropriately and proportionately adjust: (i) the class(es) and maximum number of securities subject to the Plan pursuant to Section 3(a), (ii) the class(es) and maximum number of securities by which the share reserve is to increase automatically each year pursuant to Section 3(a), (iii) the class(es) and number of securities subject to, and the purchase price applicable to outstanding Offerings and Purchase Rights, and (iv) the class(es) and number of securities that are the subject of the purchase limits under each ongoing Offering. The Board will make these adjustments, and its determination will be final, binding, and conclusive.

(b) Dissolution or Liquidation. In the event of a dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Board will shorten any Offering then in progress by setting a New Purchase Date prior to the consummation of such proposed dissolution or liquidation. The Board will notify each Participant in writing, prior to the New Purchase Date that the Purchase Date for the Participant’s Purchase Rights has been changed to the New Purchase Date and that such Purchase Rights will be automatically exercised on the New Purchase Date, unless prior to such date the Participant has withdrawn from the Offering as provided in Section 7.

(c) Corporate Transaction. In the event of a Corporate Transaction, then: (i) any surviving corporation or acquiring corporation (or the surviving or acquiring corporation’s parent company) may assume or continue outstanding Purchase Rights or may substitute similar rights (including a right to acquire the same consideration paid to the stockholders in the Corporate Transaction) for outstanding Purchase Rights, or (ii) if any surviving or acquiring corporation (or its parent company) does not assume or continue such Purchase Rights or does not substitute similar rights for such Purchase Rights, then the Participants’ accumulated Contributions will be used to purchase shares of Common Stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share) prior to the Corporate Transaction under the outstanding Purchase Rights (with such actual date to be determined by the Board in its sole discretion), and the Purchase Rights will terminate immediately after such purchase. The Board will notify each Participant in writing, prior to the New Purchase Date that the Purchase Date for the Participant’s Purchase Rights has been changed to the New Purchase Date and that such Purchase Rights will be automatically exercised on the New Purchase Date, unless prior to such date the Participant has withdrawn from the Offering as provided in Section 7.

D-7

(d) Spin-Off. In the event of a spin-off or similar transaction involving the Company, the Board may take actions deemed necessary or appropriate in connection with an ongoing Offering and subject to compliance with Applicable Laws (including the assumption of Purchase Rights under an ongoing Offering by the spun-off company, or shortening an Offering and scheduling a new Purchase Date prior to the closing of such transaction). In the absence of any such action by the Board, a Participant in an ongoing Offering whose employer ceases to qualify as a Related Corporation as of the closing of a spin-off or similar transaction will be treated in the same manner as if the Participant had terminated employment (as provided in Section 7(d)).

12. Amendment, Termination or Suspension of the Plan.

(a) Plan Amendment. The Board may amend the Plan at any time in any respect the Board deems necessary or advisable. However, except as provided in Section 11(a) relating to Capitalization Adjustments, stockholder approval will be required for any amendment of the Plan for which stockholder approval is required by Applicable Laws, including any amendment that either (i) increases the number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Plan, (ii) expands the class of individuals eligible to become Participants and receive Purchase Rights, (iii) materially increases the benefits accruing to Participants under the Plan or reduces the price at which shares of Common Stock may be purchased under the Plan, (iv) extends the term of the Plan, or (v) expands the types of awards available for issuance under the Plan, but in each of (i) through (v) above only to the extent stockholder approval is required by Applicable Laws.

(b) Suspension or Termination. The Board may suspend or terminate the Plan at any time. No Purchase Rights may be granted under the Plan while the Plan is suspended or after it is terminated.

(c) No Impairment of Rights. Any benefits, privileges, entitlements, and obligations under any outstanding Purchase Rights granted before an amendment, suspension, or termination of the Plan will not be materially impaired by any such amendment, suspension, or termination except (i) with the consent of the person to whom such Purchase Rights were granted, (ii) as necessary to comply with any laws, listing requirements, or governmental regulations (including, without limitation, the provisions of Section 423 of the Code and the regulations and other interpretive guidance issued thereunder relating to Employee Stock Purchase Plans) including without limitation any such regulations or other guidance that may be issued or amended after the date the Plan is adopted by the Board, or (iii) as necessary to obtain or maintain any special tax, listing, or regulatory treatment. To be clear, the Board may amend outstanding Purchase Rights without a Participant’s consent if such amendment is necessary to ensure that the Purchase Right or the 423 Component complies with the requirements of Section 423 of the Code.

(d) Corrections and Administrative Procedures. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, the Board will be entitled to: (i) permit Contributions in excess of the amount designated by a Participant in order to adjust for mistakes in the Company’s processing of properly completed Contribution elections; (ii) establish reasonable waiting and adjustment periods and/or accounting and crediting procedures to ensure that amounts applied toward the purchase of Common Stock for each Participant properly correspond with amounts withheld from the Participant’s Contributions; (iii) amend any outstanding Purchase Rights or clarify any ambiguities regarding the terms of any Offering to enable the Purchase Rights to qualify under and/or comply with Section 423 of the Code; and (iv) establish other limitations or procedures as the Board determines in its sole discretion advisable that are consistent with the Plan. The actions of the Board pursuant to this paragraph will not be considered to alter or impair any Purchase Rights granted under an Offering as they are part of the initial terms of each Offering and the Purchase Rights granted under each Offering.

13. Tax Matters.

(a) Section 409A of the Code. Purchase Rights granted under the 423 Component are intended to be exempt from the application of Section 409A of the Code under U.S. Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(5)(ii). Purchase Rights granted under the Non-423 Component to U.S. taxpayers are

D-8

intended to be exempt from the application of Section 409A of the Code under the short-term deferral exception and any ambiguities will be construed and interpreted in accordance with such intent. Subject to Section 13(b) below, Purchase Rights granted to U.S. taxpayers under the Non-423 Component will be subject to such terms and conditions that will permit such Purchase Rights to satisfy the requirements of the short-term deferral exception available under Section 409A of the Code, including the requirement that the shares subject to a Purchase Right be delivered within the short-term deferral period. Subject to Section 13(b) below, in the case of a Participant who would otherwise be subject to Section 409A of the Code, to the extent the Board determines that a Purchase Right or the exercise, payment, settlement, or deferral thereof is subject to Section 409A of the Code, the Purchase Right will be granted, exercised, paid, settled, or deferred in a manner that will comply with Section 409A of the Code, including U.S. Department of Treasury regulations and other interpretive guidance issued thereunder, including, without limitation, any such regulations or other guidance that may be issued after the adoption of the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company will have no liability to a Participant or any other party if the Purchase Right that is intended to be exempt from or compliant with Section 409A of the Code is not so exempt or compliant or for any action taken by the Board with respect thereto.

(b) No Guarantee of Tax Treatment. Although the Company may endeavor to (i) qualify a Purchase Right for special tax treatment under the laws of the United States or jurisdictions outside of the United States, or (ii) avoid adverse tax treatment (e.g., under Section 409A of the Code), the Company makes no representation to that effect and expressly disavows any covenant to maintain special or to avoid unfavorable tax treatment, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Plan, including Section 13(a) above. The Company will be unconstrained in its corporate activities without regard to the potential negative tax impact on Participants under the Plan.

14. Tax Withholding. The Participant will make adequate provision to satisfy the Tax-Related Items withholding obligations, if any, of the Company and/or the applicable Designated Company which arise with respect to Participant’s participation in the Plan or upon the disposition of the shares of the Common Stock. The Company and/or the Designated Company may, but will not be obligated to, withhold from the Participant’s compensation or any other payments due the Participant the amount necessary to meet such withholding obligations, withholding a sufficient whole number of shares of Common Stock issued following exercise having an aggregate value sufficient to pay the Tax-Related Items or withhold from the proceeds of the sale of shares of Common Stock, either through a voluntary sale or a mandatory sale arranged by the Company or any other method of withholding that the Company and/or the Designated Company deems appropriate. The Company and/or the Designated Company will have the right to take such other action as may be necessary in the opinion of the Company or a Designated Company to satisfy withholding and/or reporting obligations for such Tax-Related Items. The Company shall not be required to issue any shares of Common Stock under the Plan until such obligations are satisfied.

15. Effective Date of Plan. The Plan will become effective on the Effective Date. No Purchase Rights will be exercised unless and until the Plan has been approved by the stockholders of the Company, which approval must be within 12 months before or after the date the Plan is adopted (or, if required under Section 12(a) above, amended) by the Board.

16. Miscellaneous Provisions.

(a) Proceeds from the sale of shares of Common Stock pursuant to Purchase Rights will constitute general funds of the Company.

(b) A Participant will not be deemed to be the holder of, or to have any of the rights of a holder with respect to, shares of Common Stock subject to Purchase Rights unless and until the Participant’s shares of Common Stock acquired on exercise of Purchase Rights are recorded in the books of the Company (or its transfer agent).

D-9

(c) The Plan and Offering do not constitute an employment or service contract. Nothing in the Plan or in the Offering will in any way alter the at-will nature of a Participant’s employment, if applicable, or be deemed to create in any way whatsoever any obligation on the part of any Participant to continue his or her employment or service relationship with the Company, a Related Corporation, or an Affiliate, or on the part of the Company, a Related Corporation, or an Affiliate to continue the employment or service of a Participant.

(d) The provisions of the Plan will be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware without resort to that state’s conflicts of laws rules. For purposes of litigating any dispute that may arise directly or indirectly from the Plan or any Offering, the parties hereby submit and consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the State of California and agree that any such litigation shall be conducted only in the courts of California or the federal courts of the United States located in California and no other courts.

(e) If any particular provision of the Plan is found to be invalid or otherwise unenforceable, such provision will not affect the other provisions of the Plan, but the Plan will be construed in all respects as if such invalid provision were omitted.

(f) If any provision of the Plan does not comply with Applicable Laws, such provision will be construed in such a manner as to comply with Applicable Laws.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Reference is made to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of the date hereof (as amended, modified, supplemented or waived from time to time in accordance with its terms, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among VPC Impact Acquisition Holdings III, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), Bear Merger Company I Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct, wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent (“First Merger Sub”), Bear Merger Company II LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a direct, wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent (“Second Merger Sub”, together with First Merger Sub, the “Merger Subs”), and Dave Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), pursuant to which, among other things, (i) First Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company (the “First Merger”), with the Company being the surviving corporation of the First Merger (the “Surviving Corporation”), and (ii) immediately following the First Merger, as part of the same overall transaction as the First Merger, the Surviving Corporation will merge with and into Second Merger Sub (the “Second Merger” and together with the First Merger, the “Mergers”), with Second Merger Sub being the surviving company of the Second Merger (the “Surviving Entity”), and as a result of which the Surviving Entity will become a wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Merger Agreement.

In order to induce Parent, the Merger Subs and the Company to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company, Parent, VPC Impact Acquisition Holdings Sponsor III, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”), Janet Kloppenburg (“Kloppenburg”), Peter Offenhauser (“Offenhauser”), Kurt Summers (“Summers and together with Sponsor, Kloppenburg and Offenhauser, the “Founder Holders”), and, solely for purposes of Section 2 and Section 7, John Martin (“Martin”), Gordon Watson (“Watson”), Carly Altieri (“Altieri”) and Brendan Carroll (“Carroll” and together with Martin, Watson, Altieri and the Founder Holders, the “Insiders”), hereby agree to enter into this Founder Holder Agreement (this “Agreement”), and hereby agree as follows:

Section 1 Representations and Warranties. Sponsor represents and warrants that it holds, as of the date of this Agreement, 6,284,150 issued and outstanding shares of Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Parent (the “Parent Class B Common Stock”). Parent represents and warrants that Sponsor and the Insiders collectively hold all shares of Parent Class B Common issued and outstanding as of the date hereof.

Section 2 Prior Agreement.

(a) Sponsor, the Insiders and Parent are parties to that certain letter agreement, dated March 4, 2021, entered into in connection with the initial public offering of Parent (the “Prior Agreement”). The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Prior Agreement shall survive the consummation of the Transactions in accordance with its terms (except as shall be modified by the terms of this Agreement, the Merger Agreement and the Investor Rights Agreement).

(b) During the Applicable Period (as defined below), Parent shall not, and shall cause Sponsor and the Insiders not to, modify or amend the Prior Agreement.

Section 3 Transaction Support; No Transfer.

(a) Subject to the earlier termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 9, each Founder Holder (solely in its capacity as a holder of Parent Common Stock and/or Parent Warrants, as applicable), agrees, during the period beginning on the date of this Agreement and ending upon the earlier of the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms or the Effective Time (the “Applicable Period”), to cause to be present in person or represented by proxy and to vote or cause to be voted (or express consent or dissent in writing, as applicable), and not to withdraw or rescind such vote or take action (or omit to take any action) to make such vote ineffective, the Parent Common Stock and Parent Warrants, applicable, held by such Founder Holder, in each case as follows:

(i) in favor of the Parent Stockholder Matters, including, without limitation, any proposal to approve and adopt the Merger Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements and approve any other matters necessary for the consummation of the Transactions and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements, including the Mergers;

(ii) against any proposal providing for a Parent Acquisition Transaction or the adoption of an agreement to enter into a Parent Acquisition Transaction; and

(iii) not to redeem any shares of Parent Common Stock owned by it, him or her in connection with such stockholder approval.

(b) During the Applicable Period, each Founder Holder agrees not to (a) transfer any Parent Common Stock (other than pursuant to this Agreement, the Prior Agreement, the Merger Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements) or (b) deposit any shares of Parent Common Stock into a voting trust or enter into a voting agreement or any similar agreement, arrangement or understanding with respect to shares of Parent Common Stock or grant any proxy (except as otherwise provided herein, the Prior Agreement, the Merger Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements), consent or power of attorney with respect thereto (other than pursuant to this Agreement, the Prior Agreement, the Merger Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements); provided, that each Founder Holder may transfer any such shares of Parent Common Stock to any Affiliate if, and only if, the transferee of such shares of Parent Common Stock evidences in a writing reasonably satisfactory to Parent and the Company such transferee’s agreement to be bound by and subject to the terms and provisions hereof to the same effect as the transferring Founder Holder.

Section 4 Forfeiture by Founder Holders.

(a) The Founder Holders agree that, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of each of the conditions to Closing set forth in Sections 8.1 and 8.3 of the Merger Agreement, immediately prior to, and conditioned upon the consummation of, the Closing (including the consummation of, and after giving effect to, (i) any Redemption Alternative Financing and (ii) the Founder Holder Class B Conversion), the Founder Holders shall, if applicable, on a Pro Rata Basis and in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 4(b) through Section 4(d), subject all or a portion of the Founder Holder Contingent Closing Shares to potential forfeiture to Parent, which surrendered Founder Holder Contingent Closing Shares shall be automatically cancelled for no consideration.

(b) The number of Founder Holder Contingent Closing Shares to be forfeited by the Founder Holders (if any) shall be calculated as follows:

(i) if the difference of (x) the aggregate number of shares of Parent Class A Common Stock redeemed by the Parent Public Stockholders in connection with the Parent Stockholder Redemptions, minus (y) the aggregate number of shares of Parent Class A Common Stock purchased in any Redemption Alternative Financing (such positive difference in shares, the “Net Redemption Shares”), is such that the Net Redemption Percentage (as defined below) is less than twenty-one percent (21%) (such foregoing twenty-one percent (21%) threshold percentage, the “Redemption Threshold Percentage”), then none of the Founder Holder Contingent Closing Shares shall be forfeited and the Founder Holder Contingent Closing Shares shall no longer be subject to forfeiture pursuant to this Section 4;

E-3

(ii) if the Net Redemption Percentage equals or exceeds the Redemption Threshold Percentage, but the Net Redemption Percentage is less than or equal to thirty-five percent (35%), then a number of Founder Holder Contingent Closing Shares equal to the product of (x) the Per Percent Forfeiture Amount (as defined below), multiplied by (y) the Excess Forfeiture Percentage Amount (as defined below), shall be automatically forfeited by the Founder Holders (on a Pro Rata Basis in accordance with Section 4(c)), and any Founder Holder Contingent Closing Shares not forfeited and cancelled in accordance with this clause (ii) shall no longer be subject to forfeiture pursuant to this Section 4; and

(iii) if the Net Redemption Percentage equals or exceeds thirty-five percent (35%), then one hundred percent (100%) of the Founder Holder Contingent Closing Shares shall be automatically forfeited by the Founder Holders (on a Pro Rata Basis in accordance with Section 4(c)).

(c) For purposes of this Section 4: (i) “Aggregate Pre-Redemption Parent Public Share Amount” shall mean the total number of issued and outstanding shares of Parent Class A Common Stock held by Parent Public Stockholders as of the date hereof, which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be equal to twenty-five million three hundred seventy-six thousand five hundred ninety-eight (25,376,598) shares of Parent Class A Common Stock; (ii) “Excess Forfeiture Percentage Amount” shall mean a number, rounded down to the nearest whole number,equal to the product of (A) one hundred (100) multiplied by (B) the difference of (x) quotient of (I) the Net Redemption Shares divided by (II) the Aggregate Pre-Redemption Parent Public Share Amount minus (y) two-tenths (0.2); provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the Excess Forfeiture Percentage Amount be less than zero (0) or exceed fifteen (15) and the Excess Forfeiture Percentage Amount shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number (for illustrative purposes only, if the aggregate amount of the Excess Forfeiture Percentage Amount is one and seven tenths (1.7), then the Excess Forfeiture Percentage Amount shall be rounded down to one (1), and if the Excess Forfeiture Percentage Amount is seven tenths (0.7), then the Excess Forfeiture Percentage Amount shall be zero and Section 4(b)(i) shall apply); (iii) “Net Redemption Percentage” shall mean a number, represented as a percentage, equal to the quotient of (A) the Net Redemption Shares divided by (B) the Aggregate Pre-Redemption Parent Public Share Amount; and (iv) “Per Percent Forfeiture Amount” shall mean a number of shares of Parent Class A Common Stock equal to the quotient of (A) the aggregate Founder Holding Contingent Closing Shares, divided by (B) fifteen (15).

(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any Founder Holder Contingent Closing Shares forfeited pursuant to Section 4(b) shall be forfeited among the Founder Holders on a Pro Rata Basis. Any Founder Holder Contingent Closing Shares forfeited pursuant to Section 4(b) shall be cancelled for no consideration and any certificates representing such Founder Holder Contingent Closing Shares so forfeited shall be cancelled; provided, that to the extent any such certificate represents shares in excess of the aggregate of the Founder Holder Contingent Closing Shares forfeited pursuant to Section 4(b), Parent shall reissue such certificate with respect to the shares not so forfeited.

Section 5 Founder Holder Earnout Shares. Effective as of and subject to the Closing, the Founder Holder Earnout Shares shall become subject to potential forfeiture upon the terms set forth in Article III of the Merger Agreement, such that such Founder Holder Earnout Shares shall be forfeited by the Founder Holders (on a Pro Rata Basis) if, and only if, the applicable vesting condition(s) set forth in Article III of the Merger Agreement are not satisfied prior to the expiration of the Earnout Period. If all or any portion of the Founder Holder Earnout Shares vest in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, any restrictive legends that have been placed on such Founder Holder Earnout Shares, other than those, if any, required by applicable Law, the Governance Documents of Parent or any other Transaction Agreement, shall be removed (and Parent hereby agrees to promptly cause the removal of such restrictive legends that have been placed on the applicable portion of such Founder Holder Earnout Shares that have vested in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement), and such vested Founder Holder Earnout Shares shall not thereafter be subject to forfeiture, cancellation or additional vesting. The Founder Holders shall be entitled to vote such Founder Holder Earnout Shares and, as provided in Section 3.4 of the Merger Agreement, receive dividends and other distributions in respect thereof.

Section 6 Anti-Dilution Waiver. Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of each of the conditions to Closing set forth in Sections 8.1 and 8.3 of the Merger Agreement, effective immediately prior to and conditioned upon

E-4

the consummation of the Closing, the Founder Holders each hereby waive any and all rights they have or will have under Section 4.3(b)(ii) of the Parent Charter to receive shares of Parent Class A Common Stock in excess of the number issuable at the Initial Conversion Ratio (as defined in the Parent Charter) upon the conversion of the existing shares of Parent Class B Common Stock held by such Founder Holder in connection with the consummation of the Transactions, and, as a result, the shares of Parent Class B Common Stock shall convert into shares of Parent Class A Common Stock (or such equivalent security) in connection with the Founder Holder Class B Conversion on a one-for-one basis (prior to taking into account any forfeiture pursuant to Section 4 or the consummation of any Redemption Alternative Financing), such that, as a result of such conversion, all outstanding shares of Parent Class B Common Stock shall collectively convert into six million three hundred forty-four thousand one hundred fifty (6,344,150) shares of Parent Class A Common Stock.

Section 7 Lock-Up. Upon and subject to the Closing, each of the Insiders and Parent hereby acknowledge and agree that Article III of the Investor Rights Agreement supersedes Section 7(a) of the Prior Agreement, and all other sections of the Prior Agreement only to the extent such sections relate to Section 7(a) of the Prior Agreement, in all respects, and, upon execution of this Agreement and the Investor Rights Agreement by each of the Founder Holders, the Prior Agreement shall be deemed amended to remove its Section 7(a), and all references related thereto.

Section 8 Parent No Solicitation; Confidentiality; Communications Plan; Access to Information. Sponsor hereby acknowledges that it has read the Merger Agreement and this Agreement and has had the opportunity to consult with its tax and legal advisors with respect thereto. Sponsor shall be bound by and comply with Section 7.2 (Parent No Solicitation) and the second sentence of Section 7.8(b) (Confidentiality; Communications Plan; Access to Information) of the Merger Agreement (and any relevant definitions contained in any such sections) as if Sponsor was an original signatory to the Merger Agreement with respect to such provisions, mutatis mutandis.

Section 9 Termination. This Agreement shall immediately terminate, without any further action by the parties hereto, at such time, if at all, that the Merger Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms.

Section 10 Assignment. No party hereto may assign either this Agreement or any of its rights, interests, or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each of the other parties hereto. Any purported assignment in violation of this Section 10 shall be void and ineffectual and shall not operate to transfer or assign any interest or title to the purported assignee. This Agreement shall be binding on Parent, the Company and the Insiders and their respective successors and assigns.

Section 11 Amendments. No amendment of any provision of this Agreement shall be valid unless the same shall be in writing and signed by all of the parties hereto. No waiver of any provision or condition of this Agreement shall be valid unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the party against which such waiver is to be enforced. No waiver by any party of any default, breach of representation or warranty or breach of covenant hereunder, whether intentional or not, shall be deemed to extend to any other, prior or subsequent default or breach or affect in any way any rights arising by virtue of any other, prior or subsequent such occurrence.

Section 12 Miscellaneous. Section 7.11 (No Claim Against Trust Account), Section 11.1 (Notices), Section 11.2 (Interpretation), Section 11.3 (Counterparts; Electronic Delivery), Section 11.4 (Entire Agreement; Third Party Beneficiaries), Section 11.5 (Severability), Section 11.6 (Other Remedies; Specific Performance); Section 11.7 (Governing Law), Section 11.8 (Consent to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial), Section 11.9 (Rules of Construction) and Section 11.10 (Expenses) of the Merger Agreement are hereby incorporated into this Agreement, mutatis mutandis, as though set out in their entirety in this Section 12.

(i) in favor of any proposal to approve and adopt the Merger Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements and approve any other matters necessary for consummation of the Transactions and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements, including the Mergers and the Recapitalization;

(ii) in favor of any proposal to adjourn a Meeting at which there is a proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements to a later date if there are not sufficient votes to adopt the Merger Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements or if there are not sufficient Company Interests present in person or represented by proxy at such Meeting to constitute a quorum;

(iii) against any proposal providing for a Company Acquisition Transaction or the adoption of an agreement to enter into a Company Acquisition Transaction;

(iv) against any proposal for any amendment or modification of the Company’s current Governance Documents that would change the voting rights of any Company Interests or the number of votes required to approve any proposal, including the vote required to adopt the Merger Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements (provided that this foregoing clause (iv) shall not prevent the approval and adoption of the Recapitalization); and

(v) against any action, transaction or agreement that would (A) result in a breach of any Fundamental Representations of the Company, (B) reasonably be expected to prevent, delay or impair consummation of the Transactions in any material respect or (C) result in any of the conditions set forth in Section 8.1 or Section 8.3 of the Merger Agreement not being fulfilled.

(b) In furtherance of the foregoing, promptly (but in any event within two (2) Business Days) of the Registration Statement becoming effective, the Company Stockholder shall execute and deliver the Stockholder Written Consent in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, and will not thereafter withdraw or rescind such consent or otherwise take action to make such consent ineffective.

(c) The Company Stockholder agrees not to enter into any commitment, agreement, understanding or similar arrangement with any Person to vote or give voting instructions or express consent or dissent in writing in any manner inconsistent with the terms of this Section 1.

F-3

Section 2 Waiver of Certain Rights.

(a) Subject to the earlier termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 3, the Company Stockholder, solely in its capacity as a holder of the Subject Equity Securities, hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to exercise any consent rights (other than consent rights exercised in a manner consistent with Section 1), preemptive rights, rights of first refusal, rights of first offer or similar rights that the Company Stockholder may have under the Governance Documents of the Company (including, without limitation, the Company Investors’ Rights Agreement, the First Refusal and Co-Sale Agreement or the Voting Agreement), in each case that would be triggered by virtue of the consummation of the Transactions (including, without limitation, the Mergers, the Recapitalization or the Repurchase).

Section 3 Termination.

(a) Subject to Section 3(b), this Agreement shall terminate upon the earliest of: (i) the Effective Time; (ii) the termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms; and (iii) the time this Agreement is terminated upon the mutual written agreement of Parent and the Company Stockholder (the earliest such date under clause (i), (ii) and (iii) being referred to herein as the “Termination Date”).

(b) Upon termination of this Agreement, no party hereto shall have any further obligations or liabilities under this Agreement; provided, that the provisions set forth in Section 2, Section 6, Section 7(a), (in each of the foregoing cases, solely in the case of termination under clause (i) of Section 3(a)), Section 7(b), Section 7(c), Section 7(d), Section 7(e), Section 7(f), and Section 8 shall survive the termination of this Agreement; provided, further, that termination of this Agreement shall not relieve any party hereto from any liability for any willful or intentional breach of this Agreement prior to such termination.

(c) The representations and warranties contained in this Agreement and in any certificate or other writing delivered pursuant hereto shall not survive the Closing or the termination of this Agreement.

Section 4 Representations and Warranties of the Company Stockholder.

(a) The Company Stockholder hereby represents and warrants to Parent that the Subject Equity Securities set forth on Schedule 1 attached hereto constitute all of the shares of Company Common Stock, Company Preferred Stock, vested Company Restricted Stock, other Company Interests and other securities and equity interests of the Company (including equity interests convertible, exercisable or exchangeable for, and rights to purchase or acquire, any Company Interests or other securities or equity interests of the Company) held of record or beneficially owned by the Company Stockholder or with respect to which the Company Stockholder has voting power, in each case as of the date hereof. The Company Stockholder is the record holder and beneficial owner of all of its Subject Equity Securities and has, and shall have throughout the Applicable Period (including as of the Effective Time), full voting power and power of disposition with respect to all such Subject Equity Securities, in each case free and clear of any Liens, except for any such Liens that may be imposed pursuant to (i) this Agreement, (ii) any applicable restrictions on transfer under U.S. state or federal securities or “blue sky” Laws, (iii) the Company’s Governance Documents or (iv) as applicable, a Loan, Pledge and Option Agreement (as defined in Schedule 4.3(b) of the Company Disclosure Letter, each of which, for the avoidance of doubt, will terminate in connection with the Closing). No Person has any contractual or other right or obligation to purchase or otherwise acquire any of the Company Stockholder’s Subject Equity Securitas other than pursuant to the Merger Agreement, as set forth in the Company’s Governance Documents or the Company’s purchase rights pursuant to a Loan, Pledge and Option Agreement.

(b) In the event that the Company Stockholder is an individual, the Company Stockholder has full power, right and legal capacity to execute and deliver this Agreement and the Transaction Agreements to which it is a party and to perform his or her obligations hereunder and thereunder and to consummate the Transactions. In the event that the Company Stockholder is a legal entity, (i) the Company Stockholder is a legal entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its formation or organization and has the requisite corporate, limited liability company or other entity power and authority, as applicable, to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder, (ii) the execution, delivery and

F-4

performance by the Company Stockholder of this Agreement and its obligations hereunder have been duly and validly authorized by the Company Stockholder and no other act or proceeding on the part of the Company Stockholder is necessary to authorize the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement, and (iii) this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Company Stockholder and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery by each other party hereto, constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Company Stockholder, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to the Remedies Exception. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will (x) if the Company Stockholder is a legal entity, conflict with or result in any breach of any provision of the Charter Documents of the Company Stockholder, (y) require any filing with, or the obtaining of any material consent or material approval of, any Governmental Entity by the Company Stockholder (other than the filings, notices and reports pursuant to, in compliance with or required to be made under the Exchange Act and other than those set forth as conditions to closing in the Merger Agreement), or (z) with or without notice, lapse of time or both, breach or violate, or terminate (or create a right of termination or acceleration of), or cause a default under, any Contract to which the Company Stockholder is party or violate any Law applicable to the Company Stockholder, except, in the case of the foregoing clauses (y) and (z), for breaches, violations, terminations or accelerations which would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(c) As of the date of this Agreement, except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to prevent, delay or impair the ability of the Company Stockholder to perform its obligations under this Agreement or to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (i) there are no Legal Proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of the Company Stockholder, threatened against the Company Stockholder or any of its Affiliates and (ii) neither the Company Stockholder nor any of its Affiliates is a party to or subject to the provisions of any judgment, order, writ, injunction, decree or award of any Governmental Entity.

(f) No agent, broker, investment banker, finder or other intermediary is or shall be entitled to any fee or commission or reimbursement of expenses from Parent, Merger Subs or the Company or any of their respective Affiliates in respect of this Agreement based upon any arrangement or agreement made by or on behalf of such Company Stockholder.

(g) Except for the representations and warranties made by the Company Stockholder in this Section 4, or as may be set forth in any other Transaction Agreement, neither the Company Stockholder nor any other Person makes any express or implied representation or warranty to Parent in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and the Company Stockholder expressly disclaims any such other representations or warranties.

Equity Securities or any rights to acquire any Company Interests or other securities or equity interests of the Company into a voting trust or enter into a voting agreement or arrangement or grant any proxy or power of attorney with respect thereto that is inconsistent with this Agreement (other than any Contracts set forth on Section 7.18 of the Company Disclosure Letter entered into prior to the date hereof and to be terminated contingent upon and automatically effective as of the Closing in accordance with Section 7(d)), or (iii) commit or agree (whether or not in writing) to any of the actions referred to in the foregoing clause (i) or (ii) of this Section 5 (any action described in clauses (i), (ii), and (iii), a “Transfer”); provided, however, that nothing herein shall prohibit the Company Stockholder from transferring Subject Equity Securities to an Affiliate of such Company Stockholder or, if the Company Stockholder is an individual, to any member of the Company Stockholder’s immediate family or to a trust solely for the benefit of the Company Stockholder or any member of the Company Stockholder’s immediate family; provided, that (x) any such Transfers shall be permitted only if, as a precondition to such Transfer, the transferee agrees in a writing, reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to Parent, to assume all of the obligations of the Company Stockholder under, and to be bound by all of the terms of, this Agreement and (y) any such permitted Transfer shall not relieve the Company Stockholder of its obligations under this Agreement. Any Transfer or action in violation of this Section 5(a) shall be void ab initio. If any involuntary Transfer of any of Subject Equity Securities occurs, the transferee (and all transferees and subsequent transferees of such transferee) shall take and hold such Subject Equity Securities subject to all of the restrictions, liabilities and rights under this Agreement, which shall continue in full force and effect during the Applicable Period. The Company Stockholder shall not request that the Company register any transfer of any certificate or other uncertificated interest representing any Subject Equity Securities made in violation of the restrictions set forth in this Section 5(a) during the Applicable Period.

(b) Until the Termination Date, the Company Stockholder hereby agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions set forth in (i) Section 7.1 (Company No Solicitation), (ii) the second sentence of Section 7.8(b) (Confidentiality; Communications Plan; Access to Information), and (iii) to the extent applicable to any of the foregoing, the remaining provisions of Article XI (General Provisions) of the Merger Agreement (and any relevant definitions used in such Sections) fully and to the same extent as if (x) the Company Stockholder was a party and signatory to such provisions of the Merger Agreement and (y) all references to the “Company” in such sections of the Merger Agreement were deemed references to the Company Stockholder.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary: (i) the Company Stockholder shall not be responsible for the actions of the Company or the Company board of directors (or any committee thereof), or any officers, directors (in their capacity as such), employees and professional advisors of any of the foregoing (the “Company Related Parties”), with respect to any of the matters contemplated by Section 5(b); (ii) the Company Stockholder makes no representations or warranties with respect to the actions of any of the Company Related Parties; and (iii) any breach by the Company of its obligations under Section 7.1 of the Merger Agreement shall not, in and of itself, be considered a breach of Section 5(b) (it being understood for the avoidance of doubt that the Company Stockholder shall remain responsible for any breach by it or its Representatives (other than any such Representative that is a Company Related Party) of Section 5(b)).

Section 6 General Waiver and Release.

(a) Effective as of, and contingent upon, the consummation of the Closing, the Company Stockholder, on behalf of itself and any of its heirs, executors, beneficiaries, administrators, successors, assigns, controlled Affiliates and any other Person or entity claiming by, through or under any of the foregoing (each, a “Releasor”), hereby forever, unconditionally and irrevocably acquits, remises, discharges and releases, effective as of the Closing, the Company and its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, Parent, First Merger Sub, Second Merger Sub, the Surviving Entity, each Parent Released Party and each of their respective Affiliates), each of their respective officers, directors, equityholders, employees, partners, members, investment managers, principals, investors, agents, trustees and Representatives, and each predecessor, successor and assign of any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Releasees”) from any and all claims, disputes, controversies, demands, charges, complaints, causes of action, damages, costs, expenses, obligations, losses, rights, suits, accountings, orders, judgments, obligations, agreements, losses and liabilities of every kind and character whatsoever, whether

F-6

accrued or fixed, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, suspected or unsuspected or determined or determinable, and whether at law or in equity, that any Releasee may have to such Releasor (or that any Releasor may have against any Releasee), in any capacity, whether directly or derivatively through another Person, arising contemporaneously with or prior to the Closing, or arising from any matter concerning the Company, its Subsidiaries, the Merger Agreement, any Transaction Agreement or the Transactions (including, without limitation, the Repurchases or the Recapitalization) (collectively, the “Released Claims”); provided that the foregoing shall not release the Releasees from liabilities and obligations (A) under this Agreement, the Merger Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements, (B) if such Releasor is an employee of the Company, with respect to earned but unpaid wages or other compensation or benefits and rights of any Releasor under any written employment agreements with or benefit plans of the Company in existence as of the date hereof (other than to the extent inconsistent with the terms of the Merger Agreement or any Transaction Agreement) or (C) solely in respect of the Company, Parent and the Surviving Entity, with respect to indemnification, exculpation and/or advancement of expenses (whether pursuant to the Charter Documents of the Company, any insurance policy or any other agreement entered into with the Company) in respect of any Releasor for serving as an officer, director, manager, agent or employee of the Company, in each case existing prior to Closing. Further, the Company Stockholder, on behalf of itself and the Releasors, hereby irrevocably covenants to refrain from, directly or indirectly, asserting any Released Claim, or threatening, commencing, instituting or causing to be commenced, any proceeding of any kind against any Releasee based upon any Released Claim. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company Stockholder, on behalf of itself and each Releasor, understands and agrees that the claims released in this Section 6(a), if and when released, include not only claims presently known but also include all unknown or unanticipated claims, obligations, liabilities, charges, demands, and causes of action of every kind and character that would otherwise come within the scope of the Released Claims.

(b) Effective as of, and contingent upon, the consummation of the Closing, the Company Stockholder, on behalf of itself and each Releasor, knowingly and voluntarily waives and releases any and all rights and benefits he, she or it may not have, or in the future may have, under Section 1542 of the California Civil Code (“Section 1542”) or any analogous state law or federal law, which reads as follows:

“A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR OR RELEASING PARTY DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE AND THAT, IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER, WOULD HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR OR RELEASED PARTY.”

The Company Stockholder, on behalf of itself and each Releasor, understands that Section 1542, or a comparable statute, rule, regulation or order of another jurisdiction, gives such the Company Stockholder the right not to release existing claims of which the Company Stockholder is not aware, unless the Company Stockholder voluntarily chooses to waive this right. Having been so apprised, the Company Stockholder, on behalf of itself and each Releasor, nevertheless hereby voluntarily elects to and does waive the rights described in Section 1542, or such other comparable statute, rule, regulation or order, and elects to assume all risks for claims that exist, existed or may hereafter exist in its favor, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, arising out of or related to claims or other matters purported to be released pursuant to this Section 6, in each case, effective at the Closing. The Company Stockholder, on behalf of itself and each Releasor, acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing waiver is an essential and material term of the release provided pursuant to this Section 6 and that, without such waiver, Parent would not have agreed to the terms of this Agreement.

Section 7 Covenants.

(a) Further Assurances. From time to time and without additional consideration, the Company Stockholder shall execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, such additional transfers, assignments, endorsements, proxies, consents and other instruments, and shall take such further actions as Parent may reasonably request for the purpose of carrying out and furthering the intent of this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, the Company

F-7

Stockholder will execute and deliver (i) a Letter of Transmittal, in a customary form, with respect to all of the Company Stockholder’s Subject Equity Securities, (ii) the Investor Rights Agreement and (iii) any documents, agreements, certificates or other instruments requested by the Company and required to effectuate and/or document the Recapitalization (the “Recapitalization Documents”), in each case promptly following receipt thereof. The Company Stockholder further agrees not to commence or participate in, or facilitate, assist or encourage, and agrees to take all actions necessary to opt out of any class in any class action with respect to, any action or claim, suit, proceeding, cause of action, derivative or otherwise, in law or in equity, in any court or before any Governmental Entity against Parent, First Merger Sub, Second Merger Sub, the Company, Sponsor, the Surviving Entity or any of their respective Affiliates, successors, assigns, directors or officers (a) alleging a breach of any fiduciary duty of any Person at or prior to the Closing (including the consummation of the Repurchase) in connection with the negotiation, execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement, the Merger Agreement or any other Transaction Agreements or the Transactions (including, without limitation, the Mergers, the Per Share Company Stock Consideration, the Recapitalization or the Repurchase), (b) relating to any alleged inadequacy, inaccuracy or calculations of, or otherwise relating to the form of, the Aggregate Stock Consideration or the Per Share Company Stock Consideration or (c) challenging the validity of, or seeking to enjoin or delay the operation of, any provision of this Agreement, the Merger Agreement or the other Transaction Agreements (including any claim seeking to enjoin or delay the consummation of the Mergers, the Recapitalization or the Repurchase).

(b) Repurchases. Without limiting anything in Section 7(a), the Company Stockholder hereby expressly acknowledges and agrees to the Repurchases and the Recapitalization and irrevocably waives and discharges any and all claims and causes of action (whether at law or in equity) that the Company Stockholder may have at any time against Parent, Parent’s Affiliates, the Sponsor, the Company, the Surviving Entity or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates, or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, members, managers, investment managers, partners, agents, investors, principals, representatives, predecessors, successors and assigns with respect to the Repurchases and the Recapitalization, including any and all claims or causes of action that the Repurchases or the Recapitalization may be inconsistent with, or in violation of, the Company’s Governance Documents or applicable Law.

(c) Acknowledgment. THE COMPANY STOCKHOLDER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE COMPANY STOCKHOLDER IS ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT ON THE COMPANY STOCKHOLDER’S OWN FREE WILL AND NOT UNDER ANY DURESS OR UNDUE INFLUENCE. THE COMPANY STOCKHOLDER HAS ENTERED INTO THIS AGREEMENT FREELY AND WITHOUT COERCION, THE COMPANY STOCKHOLDER HAS BEEN ADVISED BY PARENT TO CONSULT WITH COUNSEL OF THE COMPANY STOCKHOLDER’S CHOICE WITH REGARD TO THE EXECUTION OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE COMPANY STOCKHOLDER’S COVENANTS HEREUNDER, THE COMPANY STOCKHOLDER HAS HAD AN ADEQUATE OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT WITH SUCH COUNSEL AND EITHER SO CONSULTED OR FREELY DETERMINED IN THE COMPANY STOCKHOLDER’S OWN DISCRETION NOT TO SO CONSULT WITH SUCH COUNSEL, THE COMPANY STOCKHOLDER UNDERSTANDS THAT PARENT HAS BEEN ADVISED BY COUNSEL, AND THE COMPANY STOCKHOLDER HAS READ THIS AGREEMENT AND THE MERGER AGREEMENT AND FULLY AND COMPLETELY UNDERSTANDS THIS AGREEMENT AND THE MERGER AGREEMENT AND EACH OF THE COMPANY STOCKHOLDER’S REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, COVENANTS AND OTHER AGREEMENTS HEREUNDER AND THEREUNDER. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE INTERPRETED AND CONSTRUED AS HAVING BEEN DRAFTED JOINTLY BY THE COMPANY STOCKHOLDER AND PARENT AND NO PRESUMPTION OR BURDEN OF PROOF SHALL ARISE FAVORING OR DISFAVORING ANY PARTY HERETO BY VIRTUE OF THE AUTHORSHIP OF ANY OR ALL OF THE PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT.

(d) Consent to Terminate Certain Agreements. The Company Stockholder hereby consents to the termination, contingent upon and automatically effective as of the Closing, of all Contracts set forth on Section 7.18 of the Company Disclosure Letter (other than any indemnification agreements between any D&O Indemnified Party and the Company).

F-8

(e) Disclosure. The Company Stockholder hereby authorizes the Company and Parent to publish and disclose in any announcement or disclosure required by the SEC the Company Stockholder’s identity and ownership of the Subject Equity Securities and the nature of the Company Stockholder’s obligations under this Agreement; provided, that prior to any such publication or disclosure the Company and Parent have provided the Company Stockholder with an opportunity to review and comment upon such announcement or disclosure, which comments the Company and Parent will consider in good faith.

(f) No Claims Against Trust Account. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary (including, without limitation, Section 5(b)), Section 7.11 (No Claim Against Trust Account) of the Merger Agreement shall be deemed incorporated into this Agreement by reference, mutatis mutandis. The Company Stockholder hereby agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions set forth in Section 7.11 (No Claim Against Trust Account) of the Merger Agreement, as incorporated herein by reference, fully and to the same extent as if (i) the Company Stockholder was a party and signatory to such provision of the Merger Agreement and (ii) all references to the “Company” in such Section 7.11 (No Claim Against Trust Account) of the Merger Agreement were deemed references to the Company Stockholder.

Section 8 General Provisions.

(a) Amendment; Waiver. This Agreement may not be amended except by a written instrument signed by Parent and the Company Stockholder. No failure or delay on the part of any party to exercise any right, remedy, power or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise of the same or of any other right, remedy, power or privilege, nor shall any waiver of any right, remedy, power or privilege with respect to any occurrence be construed as a waiver of such right, remedy, power or privilege with respect to any other occurrence. No waiver of any provision or default under, nor consent to any exception to, this Agreement shall be effective unless it is in writing and is signed by the party asserted to have granted such waiver or consent and then only to the specific purpose, extent and instance so provided.

(c) Interpretation. Unless the context of this Agreement otherwise clearly requires, (i) references to the plural include the singular, and references to the singular include the plural, (ii) references to one gender include the other gender, (iii) the words “include”, “includes,” “including” and words of similar import do not limit the preceding terms or words and shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation”, (iv) the terms “hereof”, “herein”, “hereunder”, “hereto” and similar terms in this Agreement refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement, (v) the term “or” will not be deemed to be exclusive, (vi) the word “will” shall be construed to have the same meaning and effect as the word “shall”, (vii) the terms “day” and “days” mean and refer to calendar day(s), (viii) the terms “year” and “years” mean and refer to calendar year(s), (ix) references to any statute shall be deemed to refer to such statute and to any rules or regulations promulgated thereunder, (x) references to any person include the successors and permitted assigns of that person, and (xi) references from or through any date mean, unless otherwise specified, from and including such date or through and including such date, respectively. All Section and Schedule references herein are to Sections and Schedules of this Agreement, unless otherwise specified. Each of the parties agrees that it has been represented by independent counsel of its choice during the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and each party hereto and its counsel cooperated in the drafting and preparation of this Agreement and the documents referred to herein and, therefore, waive the application of any Law, regulation, holding or rule of construction providing that ambiguities in an agreement or other document will be construed against the party drafting such agreement or document. The Company Stockholder acknowledges that Orrick, Herington & Sutcliffe LLP is acting as counsel to the Company in connection with the Merger Agreement and the Transactions, and is not acting as counsel to the Company Stockholder.

(d) Section Headings; Defined Terms. The Section headings contained in this Agreement are exclusively for the purpose of reference, are not part of the agreement of the parties and shall not in any way affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. The defined terms contained in this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

(e) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by facsimile or e-mail shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of the Agreement. Minor variations in the form of the signature page, including footers from earlier versions of this Agreement or any such other document, will be disregarded in determining a party’s intent or the effectiveness of such signature.

(f) Entire Agreement; No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement, the Letter of Transmittal executed by the Company Stockholder, the Investor Rights Agreement, the Recapitalization Documents (if any) and the provisions of the Merger Agreement referenced in Section 5 herein to which the Company Stockholder has

F-10

expressly agreed to be bound constitute the entire agreement and understanding among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersedes all other prior agreements, and understandings, whether oral or written, relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, and is not intended to confer upon any Person other than the parties hereto any rights or remedies hereunder; provided, however, that the Releasees are express third party beneficiaries of this Agreement and the Company shall be an express third party beneficiary with respect to Section 5 and Section 7(d) hereof. For the avoidance of doubt, this Agreement does not and shall not affect any prior understandings, agreements or representations with respect to any similar subject matter entered into in connection with or as a result of the Company Stockholder’s direct or indirect ownership of any Company Interests or any provision of services to the Company.

(g) Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of Law or public policy, all other terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party hereto. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties hereto as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

(h) Binding Effect; Assignment. This Agreement and all of the provisions hereof shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Subject to Section 5(a), neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned, directly or indirectly, including by operation of law, by any party hereto without the prior written consent of the other party hereto. Any purported assignment in violation of this Section 8(h) shall be null and void ab initio.

(i) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware (regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of laws thereof) as to all matters (including Legal Proceedings related hereto), including matters of validity, construction, effect, performance and remedies.

(j) Consent to Jurisdiction, Etc. Each party hereto hereby and any Person asserting rights as a third party beneficiary may do so only if he, she or it irrevocably agrees that any Legal Proceeding shall be brought only to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or, if such court declines to exercise jurisdiction, the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware, and each party hereto hereby consents to the jurisdiction of such courts (and of the appropriate appellate courts therefrom) in any such suit, action or proceeding and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding in any such court or that any such suit, action or proceeding that is brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. During the period a Legal Proceeding that is filed in accordance with this Section 8(j) is pending before a court, all actions, suits or proceedings with respect to such Legal Proceeding or any other Legal Proceeding, including any counterclaim, cross-claim or interpleader, shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of such court. Each party hereto and any Person asserting rights as a third party beneficiary may do so only if he, she or it hereby waives, and shall not assert as a defense in any Legal Proceeding, that (a) such party is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the above named courts for any reason, (b) such action, suit or proceeding may not be brought or is not maintainable in such court, (c) such party’s property is exempt or immune from execution, (d) such action, suit or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum, or (e) the venue of such action, suit or proceeding is improper. A final judgment in any action, suit or proceeding described in this Section 8(j) following the expiration of any period permitted for appeal and subject to any stay during appeal shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by applicable Laws. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO AND ANY PERSON ASSERTING RIGHTS AS A THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARY MAY DO SO ONLY IF HE, SHE OR IT IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY ON ANY CLAIMS OR COUNTERCLAIMS ASSERTED IN ANY LEGAL DISPUTE RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS

F-11

CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM RELATING THERETO. IF THE SUBJECT MATTER OF ANY SUCH LEGAL DISPUTE IS ONE IN WHICH THE WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL IS PROHIBITED, NO PARTY HERETO NOR ANY PERSON ASSERTING RIGHTS AS A THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARY SHALL ASSERT IN SUCH LEGAL DISPUTE A NONCOMPULSORY COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. FURTHERMORE, NO PARTY HERETO NOR ANY PERSON ASSERTING RIGHTS AS A THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARY SHALL SEEK TO CONSOLIDATE ANY SUCH LEGAL DISPUTE WITH A SEPARATE ACTION OR OTHER LEGAL PROCEEDING IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL CANNOT BE WAIVED.

(k) Specific Performance. The Company Stockholder agrees that irreparable damage would occur for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy in the event that the Company Stockholder does not perform its obligations under the provisions of this Agreement in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breach such provisions. The Company Stockholder acknowledges and agrees that Parent shall therefore be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, specific performance or other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in any action instituted in any court in the United States or in any state or province having jurisdiction over the parties hereto and the matter in addition to any other remedy to which they may be entitled pursuant hereto, and that such explicit rights of specific enforcement are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and without such rights, Parent would not have entered into this Agreement. The Company Stockholder agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that Parent have an adequate monetary or other remedy at law. The Company Stockholder acknowledges and agrees that if Parent seeks an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement or to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, Parent shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such order or injunction.

(l) No Ownership Interest. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to vest in Parent any direct or indirect ownership or incidence of ownership of or with respect to the Subject Equity Securities of the Company Stockholder. All rights, ownership and economic benefits (but excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any voting rights to the extent described herein) of and relating to the Subject Equity Securities of the Company Stockholder shall remain fully vested in and belong to the Company Stockholder, and Parent shall have no authority to direct the Company Stockholder in the voting or disposition of any of the Subject Equity Securities, except as otherwise provided herein.

(m) Capacity as a Stockholder. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company Stockholder signs this Agreement solely in the Company Stockholder’s capacity as a holder of the Subject Equity Securities, and not in any other capacity (including as an officer or director of the Company) and this Agreement shall not limit or otherwise affect the actions of the Company Stockholder (or any affiliate, employee or designee of the Company Stockholder) in his or her capacity, if applicable, as an officer or director of the Company or any other Person.

EXECUTION VERSION

SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT

This SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT (this “Subscription Agreement”) is entered into on June 7, 2021 by and between VPC Impact Acquisition Holdings III, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the undersigned subscriber (“Subscriber”).

WHEREAS, substantially concurrently with the execution of this Subscription Agreement, the Company is entering into that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger with Dave Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Dave”), and the other parties thereto, providing for a business combination between the Company and Dave (the “Transaction Agreement” and the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreement, the “Transaction”);

WHEREAS, the Company’s shares of Class A Common Stock (as defined below) and warrants are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE” or “Stock Exchange”);

WHEREAS, in connection with the Transaction, Subscriber desires to subscribe for and purchase from the Company immediately prior to the consummation of the Transaction, that number of shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”), set forth on the signature page hereto (the “Subscribed Shares”) for a purchase price of $10.00 per share (the “Per Share Price” and the aggregate of such Per Share Price for all Subscribed Shares being referred to herein as the “Purchase Price”), and the Company desires to issue and sell to Subscriber the Subscribed Shares in consideration of the payment of the Purchase Price by or on behalf of Subscriber to the Company; and

WHEREAS, on or about the date of this Subscription Agreement, and from time to time prior to the closing of the Transaction, the Company is entering into subscription agreements (the “Other Subscription Agreements”) with certain other investors (the “Other Subscribers” and together with Subscriber, the “Subscribers”), pursuant to which such Subscribers have agreed to purchase on the Closing Date (as defined below), inclusive of the Subscribed Shares, an aggregate amount of up to 25,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock, at the Per Share Price.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual representations, warranties and covenants, and subject to the conditions, herein contained, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

Section 1 Subscription. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, at the Closing (as defined below), Subscriber hereby subscribes for and agrees to purchase, and the Company hereby agrees to issue and sell to Subscriber, upon the payment of the Purchase Price, the Subscribed Shares (such subscription and issuance, the “Subscription”).

Section 2 Closing.

(a) The consummation of the Subscription contemplated hereby (the “Closing”) shall occur on the closing date of the Transaction (the “Closing Date”), immediately prior to or substantially concurrently with the consummation of the Transaction.

(b) At least five (5) Business Days before the anticipated Closing Date, the Company shall deliver written notice to Subscriber (the “Closing Notice”) specifying (i) the anticipated Closing Date and (ii) the wire instructions for delivery of the Purchase Price to the Company. No later than two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Subscriber shall deliver the Purchase Price for the Subscribed Shares by wire transfer of United States dollars in immediately available funds to the account specified by the Company in the Closing Notice, such funds to be held in a non-interest bearing account by the Company in escrow until the Closing, and deliver to the Company such information as is reasonably requested in the Closing Notice in order for the Company to issue the Subscribed Shares to Subscriber, including, without limitation, the legal name of the person in whose name the Subscribed Shares are to be issued and a duly completed and executed Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or appropriate Form W-8. At the Closing, upon satisfaction

(or, if applicable, waiver) of the conditions set forth in this Section 2, the Company shall deliver to Subscriber (i) the Subscribed Shares in book entry form, free and clear of any liens or other restrictions (other than those arising under this Subscription Agreement or state or federal securities laws), in the name of Subscriber (or its nominee in accordance with its delivery instructions), and (ii) written notice from the Company or its transfer agent evidencing the issuance to Subscriber of the Subscribed Shares on and as of the Closing Date.

Each book entry for the Subscribed Shares shall contain a legend in the following form:

(c) In the event that the consummation of the Transaction does not occur within three (3) Business Day after the anticipated Closing Date specified in the Closing Notice, the Company shall promptly (but in no event later than four (4) Business Days after the anticipated Closing Date specified in the Closing Notice) return the funds so delivered by Subscriber to the Company by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account specified by Subscriber, and any book entries shall be deemed cancelled. Notwithstanding such return or cancellation, (x) a failure to close on the anticipated Closing Date shall not, by itself, be deemed to be a failure of any of the conditions to Closing set forth in this Section 2 to be satisfied or waived on or prior to the Closing Date, and (y) unless and until this Subscription Agreement is terminated in accordance with Section 6, Subscriber shall remain obligated (A) to redeliver funds to the Company following the Company’s delivery to Subscriber of a new Closing Notice and (B) to consummate the Closing upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in this Section 2.

(i) no suspension of the qualification of the Subscribed Shares for offering or sale or trading on the NYSE (or such other national securities exchange on which the Class A Common Stock is then listed), or initiation or threatening of any proceedings for any of such purposes, shall have occurred;

(ii) all conditions precedent to the closing of the Transaction set forth in the Transaction Agreement, including the approval of the Company’s stockholders, shall have been satisfied (as determined by the parties to the Transaction Agreement) or waived in writing by the person with the authority to make such waiver (other than those conditions which, by their nature, are to be satisfied at the closing of the Transaction pursuant to the Transaction Agreement (including to the extent that any such condition is dependent upon the consummation of the purchase and sale of the Subscribed Shares pursuant to this Subscription Agreement and the Other Subscription Agreements), but subject to the satisfaction (as determined by the parties to the Transaction Agreement) or waiver of such conditions as of the closing of the Transaction) and the Transaction shall have been or will be consummated substantially concurrently with the Closing of the Subscription; and

(iii) no applicable governmental authority (including, but not limited to, financial services or banking authorities) shall have enacted, issued, promulgated, enforced or entered any judgment, order, law, rule or regulation (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) which is then in effect and has the effect of making the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby illegal or otherwise restraining or prohibiting consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

(i) all representations and warranties of Subscriber contained in this Subscription Agreement shall be true and correct at and as of the Closing Date (other than any representation or warranty that expressly relates to a specific date, which representation and warranty shall be so true and correct on the date so specified, with the same force and effect as if they had been made on and as of such date), except, in each case, where the failure of such representations and warranties to be true and correct (whether as of the Closing Date or such earlier date), taken as a whole, does not result in a Subscriber Material Adverse Effect;

(ii) Subscriber shall have performed, satisfied and complied in all material respects with all covenants, agreements and conditions required by this Subscription Agreement to be performed, satisfied or complied with by it at or prior to the Closing, except where the failure of such performance or compliance would not reasonably be expected to prevent, delay, or materially impair the ability of the Subscriber to consummate the Subscription; and

(iii) if required by applicable governmental authorities (including, but not limited to, financial services or banking authorities), rules, regulations, orders, policies or procedures, Subscriber shall have been found suitable by such authorities and there shall be no pending or threatened investigations, reviews or adjudications of Subscriber or its affiliates or their respective employees, directors, officers or owners by any governmental authorities under applicable financial services or banking laws the results of which could reasonably be expected to result in the denial, revocation, limitation or suspension of an applicable license or permit with respect to the Company or Dave or their respective affiliates.

(g) Prior to or at the Closing, Subscriber shall deliver to the Company a duly completed and executed Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or appropriate Form W-8.

Section 3 Company Representations and Warranties. The Company represents and warrants to Subscriber that:

(a) The Company (i) is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation, (ii) has the requisite power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties, to carry on its business as it is now being conducted and to enter into and perform its obligations under this Subscription Agreement, and (iii) is duly licensed or qualified to conduct its business and, if applicable, is in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction (other than its jurisdiction of incorporation) in which the conduct of its business or the ownership of its properties or assets requires such license or qualification, except, with respect to the foregoing clause (iii), where the failure to be in good standing would not reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect. For purposes of this Subscription Agreement, a “Company Material Adverse Effect” means an event, change, development, occurrence, condition or effect with respect to the Company and its subsidiaries, taken together as a whole (on a consolidated basis), that, individually or in the aggregate, has or would reasonably be expected to have, a material adverse effect (i) on the business, financial condition, results of operations or stockholders’ equity of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or (ii) on the validity of the Subscribed Shares or the legal authority or ability of the Company to perform its obligations under this Subscription Agreement, including, without limitation, the ability to consummate the Transactions and the issuance and sale of the Subscribed Shares.

(b) The Subscribed Shares have been duly authorized and, when issued and delivered to Subscriber against full payment therefor in accordance with the terms of this Subscription Agreement, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and will not have been issued in violation of any preemptive rights created under the Company’s organizational documents or the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation or under any agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which the Company is bound.

(c) This Subscription Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company, and assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery of the same by Subscriber, this Subscription Agreement constitutes the valid and legally binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws affecting creditors generally and by the availability of equitable remedies.

(d) Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of Subscriber set forth in Section 4 of this Subscription Agreement, the execution and delivery of this Subscription Agreement, the issuance and sale of the Subscribed Shares and the compliance by the Company with all of the provisions of this Subscription Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein will not conflict with or result in a breach or violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any of the property or assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of (i) any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, lease, license or other agreement or instrument to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is bound or to which any of the property or assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries is subject; (ii) the organizational documents of the Company; or (iii) any statute or any judgment, order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency or body, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over the Company or any of its properties that, in the case of clauses (i) and (iii), would reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect.

(e) Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of Subscriber set forth in Section 4 of this Subscription Agreement, the Company is not required to obtain any consent, waiver, authorization or order of, give any notice to, or make any filing or registration with, any court or other federal, state, local or other governmental authority, self-regulatory organization (including the Stock Exchange) or other person in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of this Subscription Agreement (including, without limitation, the issuance of the Subscribed Shares), other than (i) filings required by applicable state securities laws or applicable governmental authorities (including, without limitation, financial services and banking authorities), (ii) the filing of the Registration Statement pursuant to Section 5 below, (iii) filings

G-5

required by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”), (iv) those required by the Stock Exchange, including with respect to obtaining stockholder approval, (v) those required to consummate the Transaction as provided under the Transaction Agreement, (vi) the filing of notification under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, if applicable and (vii) where the failure to obtain such consent, waiver, authorization or order, to give such notice, or to make such filing or registration would not be reasonably likely to have a Company Material Adverse Effect.

(f) As of their respective dates, (i) all reports required to be filed by the Company with the Commission (the “SEC Reports”) complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder, and (ii) none of the SEC Reports, when filed, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, except that the Company (x) may have improperly accounted for its outstanding warrants as equity instruments and may be required to restate its previously filed financial statements to reflect the classification of its outstanding warrants as liabilities for accounting purposes (together with any deficiencies in disclosure (including, without limitation, with respect to internal control over financial reporting or disclosure controls and procedures) arising from the treatment of such warrants of the Company as equity rather than liabilities, the “Warrant Accounting Issue”) and (y) determined that the Company was unable, without unreasonable effort or expense, to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2021 by the prescribed due date, but instead such filing was made as of May 25, 2021 (the “Q1 2021 Form 10-Q Delayed Filing”). Other than in respect of the Q1 2021 Form 10-Q Delayed Filing, the Company has timely filed all SEC Reports that it is required to file since its initial registration of its Class A Common Stock with the Commission. A copy of each SEC Report is available to the Subscriber via the Commission’s EDGAR system. There are no material outstanding or unresolved comments in comment letters from the staff of the Division of Corporation Finance of the Commission with respect to any of the SEC Reports. The financial statements of the Company included in the SEC Reports comply in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the rules and regulations of the Commission with respect thereto as in effect at the time of filing and fairly present in all material respects the financial position of the Company as of and for the dates thereof and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods then ended (subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal, year-end audit adjustments), except, in each case, as may relate to or arise from the Warrant Accounting Issue and the Q1 2021 Form 10-Q Delayed Filing; provided, that, with respect to (x) information provided by Dave or any of its affiliates for inclusion in any SEC Report or (y) the proxy statement to be filed by the Company with respect to the Transaction or any of its affiliates included in any SEC Report or filed as an exhibit thereto, the representation and warranty in this sentence is made to the Company’s knowledge.

(g) As of the date hereof, the authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 220,000,000 shares of common stock (“Common Stock”), including 200,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock, and 20,000,000 shares of Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class B Common Stock”), and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value of $0.0001 per share (“Preferred Stock”). As of the date hereof: (i) 25,376,598 shares of Class A Common Stock are issued and outstanding, 6,344,150 shares of Class B Common Stock are issued and outstanding and no shares of Preferred Stock are issued and outstanding; (ii) 11,444,364 warrants, each exercisable to purchase one share of Class A Common Stock at $11.50 per share, are issued and outstanding, including 5,100,124 private placement warrants, each exercisable to purchase one share of Class A Common Stock at $11.50 per share (collectively, the “Warrants”); and (iii) no shares of Class A Common Stock were subject to issuance upon exercise of outstanding options. No Warrants are exercisable on or prior to the Closing. All (i) issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock have been duly authorized and validly issued, are fully paid and non-assessable and are not subject to preemptive rights and (ii) outstanding Warrants have been duly authorized and validly issued, are fully paid and are not subject to preemptive rights. As of the date hereof, except for the Company’s subsidiaries formed for purposes of effecting the Transaction, the Company has no subsidiaries and does not own, directly or indirectly, interests or investments (whether equity or debt) in any person,

G-6

whether incorporated or unincorporated. Except (x) as set forth above, (y) working capital loans by the Company’s sponsor (in amounts up to the aggregate amounts contemplated by the SEC Reports), and (z) pursuant to (i) the Other Subscription Agreements, or (ii) the Transaction Agreement (including the exhibits and schedules thereto), there are no outstanding options, warrants or other rights to subscribe for, purchase or acquire from the Company any Common Stock, Preferred Stock or other equity interests in the Company (collectively, “Equity Interests”) or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Equity Interests of the Company. There are no stockholder agreements, voting trusts or other agreements or understandings to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound relating to the voting of any Equity Interests, other than as contemplated by the Transaction Agreement (including the exhibits and schedules thereto) or filed as exhibits to the SEC Reports. There are no outstanding contractual obligations of the Company to provide funds to, or make any investment (in the form of a loan, capital contribution or otherwise) in, any other person or entity, other than in connection with the Transaction. There are no securities or instruments issued by or to which the Company is a party containing anti-dilution or similar provisions that will be triggered by the issuance of (i) the Subscribed Shares or (ii) the shares to be issued pursuant to the Other Subscription Agreements, except in each case for such anti-dilution or similar provisions the application of which has been or will be validly waived on or prior to the Closing Date.

(h) Except for such matters as have not had and would not be reasonably expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect, there is no (i) suit, action, proceeding or arbitration before a governmental authority or arbitrator pending, or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened in writing against the Company or (ii) judgment, decree, injunction, ruling or order of any governmental authority or arbitrator outstanding against the Company.

(i) The Company is in compliance with all applicable laws, except where such non-compliance would not reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect. The Company has not received any written communication from a governmental entity that alleges that the Company is not in compliance with or is in default or violation of any applicable law, except where such non-compliance, default, or violation would not be reasonably likely to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect.

(j) The shares of Class A Common Stock are registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act and are listed for trading on the Stock Exchange under the symbol “VPCC”. There is no suit, action, proceeding or investigation pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened against the Company by the Stock Exchange or the Commission with respect to any intention by such entity to deregister the shares of Class A Common Stock or prohibit or terminate the listing of the shares of Class A Common Stock on the Stock Exchange. The Company has taken no action that is designed to terminate the registration of the shares of Class A Common Stock under the Exchange Act.

(k) Upon consummation of the Transaction, the issued and outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock will continue to be registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act and will be listed for trading on the New York Stock Exchange (or such other national securities exchange on which the Class A Common Stock is listed).

(l) Assuming the accuracy of Subscriber’s representations and warranties set forth in Section 4 of this Subscription Agreement, no registration under the Securities Act is required for the offer and sale of the Subscribed Shares by the Company to Subscriber.

(n) Except for Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (“Citi”) and Jefferies LLC (“Jefferies”), acting as placement agents to the Company (the “Placement Agents”, and each, a “Placement Agent”), no broker or finder is entitled to any brokerage or finder’s fee or commission solely in connection with the sale of the Subscribed Shares to Subscriber.

(o) Other than the Other Subscription Agreements, the Company has not entered into any side letter or similar agreement with any Other Subscriber in connection with any such Other Subscriber’s Other

G-7

Subscription Agreement. The Other Subscription Agreements have not been amended in any material respect following the date of this Subscription Agreement in a manner more favorable to such Other Subscriber thereunder than the terms of this Subscription Agreement, and reflect the same Per Share Price and other terms that are no more favorable to such Other Subscriber thereunder than the terms of this Subscription Agreement, in each case other than terms particular to compliance with any law, regulation or policy specifically applicable to such Other Subscriber or in connection with the taxable status of such Other Subscriber or its affiliates or related funds.

(p) The Company acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Subscribed Shares may be pledged by the Subscriber in connection with a bona fide margin agreement, which shall not be deemed to be a transfer, sale or assignment of the Subscribed Shares hereunder, and the Subscriber effecting a pledge of Subscribed Shares shall not be required to provide the Company with any notice thereof or otherwise make any delivery to the Company pursuant to this Subscription Agreement; provided, that such pledge shall be (i) pursuant to an available exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act or (ii) pursuant to, and in accordance with, a registration statement that is effective under the Securities Act at the time of such pledge, and the Subscriber effecting a pledge of Subscribed Shares shall not be required to provide the Company with any notice thereof.

(q) The Company is not, and immediately after receipt of payment for the Subscribed Shares will not be, an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

(b) This Subscription Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by Subscriber, and assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery of the same by the Company, this Subscription Agreement shall constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of Subscriber, enforceable against Subscriber in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws affecting creditors generally and by the availability of equitable remedies.

(c) The execution and delivery of this Subscription Agreement, the purchase of the Subscribed Shares and the compliance by Subscriber with all of the provisions of this Subscription Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein will not conflict with or result in a breach or violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any of the property or assets of Subscriber pursuant to the terms of (i) any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, lease, license or other agreement or instrument to which Subscriber is a party or by which Subscriber is bound or to which any of the property or assets of Subscriber is subject; (ii) the organizational documents of Subscriber; or (iii) any statute or any judgment, order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency or body, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over Subscriber or any of its properties that, in the case of clauses (i) and (iii), would reasonably be expected to have a Subscriber Material Adverse Effect. For purposes of this Subscription Agreement, a “Subscriber Material Adverse Effect” means an event, change, development, occurrence, condition or effect with respect to Subscriber that would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on Subscriber’s ability to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, including the purchase of the Subscribed Shares, or the availability to the Company of an exemption from registration under the Securities Act with respect to the offer the sale of the Subscribed Shares.

Subscriber is not an entity formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the Subscribed Shares and is an “institutional account” as defined by FINRA Rule 4512(c).

(e) Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that the Subscribed Shares are being offered in a transaction not involving any public offering within the meaning of the Securities Act and that the Subscribed Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act and that the Company is not required to register the Subscribed Shares except as set forth in Section 5 of this Subscription Agreement. Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that the Subscribed Shares may not be offered, resold, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of by Subscriber absent an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, except (i) to the Company or a subsidiary thereof, (ii) pursuant to an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, (including without limitation a private resale pursuant to so called “Section 4(a)1 ¹⁄₂”), or (iii) an ordinary course pledge such as a broker lien over account property generally, and, in each of clauses (i)-(iii), in accordance with any applicable securities laws of the states and other jurisdictions of the United States, and that any certificates or account entries representing the Subscribed Shares shall contain the restrictive legend set forth in Section 2(b).

Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that the Subscribed Shares will not immediately be eligible for offer, resale, transfer, pledge or disposition pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (as amended, “Rule 144”), until at least one year following the filing of certain required information with the Commission after the Closing Date. Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that it has been advised to consult legal counsel prior to making any offer, resale, pledge or transfer of any of the Subscribed Shares.

(f) Subscriber understands and agrees that Subscriber is purchasing the Subscribed Shares directly from the Company. Subscriber further acknowledges that there have not been, and Subscriber hereby agrees that it is not relying on, any statements, representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made to Subscriber by or on behalf of the Company, the Placement Agents, any other party to the Transaction, or any of their respective affiliates or any control persons, officers, directors, employees, partners, agents or representatives of the foregoing or any other person or entity, expressly or by implication, other than those representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the Company set forth in this Subscription Agreement.

Subscriber acknowledges that certain information provided by the

G-9

Company was based on projections, and such projections were prepared based on assumptions and estimates that are inherently uncertain and are subject to a wide variety of significant business, economic and competitive risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the projections. Subscriber further acknowledges that the information provided to Subscriber was preliminary and subject to change, including in the registration statement and the proxy statement that the Company intends to file with the Commission (which will include substantial additional information about the Company and the Transaction and will update and supersede the information previously provided to Subscriber). Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that none of the Placement Agents, nor any affiliate of any Placement Agent has provided Subscriber with any information or advice with respect to the Subscribed Shares nor is such information or advice necessary or desired. Neither Placement Agent nor any of their respective affiliates has prepared any disclosure or offering document in connection with the offer and sale of the Subscribed Shares. None of the Placement Agents or any of their respective affiliates has made or makes any representation as to the Company or the Acquired Companies or the quality or value of the Subscribed Shares and the Placement Agents and any of their respective affiliates may have acquired non-public information with respect to the Company or the Acquired Companies which Subscriber agrees need not be provided to it. In connection with the issuance of the Subscribed Shares to Subscriber, neither Placement Agent nor any of their respective affiliates has acted as a financial advisor or fiduciary to Subscriber. The Subscriber agrees that none of the Placement Agents shall be liable to Subscriber for any action heretofore or hereafter taken or omitted to be taken by any of them in connection with the Subscriber’s purchase of the Subscribed Shares.

(h) Subscriber became aware of this offering of the Subscribed Shares solely by means of direct contact between Subscriber and the Company, Dave or their respective affiliates, or by means of contact from either Placement Agent, and the Subscribed Shares were offered to Subscriber solely by direct contact between Subscriber and the Company, Dave or their respective affiliates. Subscriber did not become aware of this offering of the Subscribed Shares, nor were the Subscribed Shares offered to Subscriber, by any other means. Subscriber acknowledges that the Company represents and warrants that the Subscribed Shares (i) were not offered by any form of general solicitation or general advertising (within the meaning of Regulation D of the Securities Act) and (ii) are not being offered in a manner involving a public offering under, or in a distribution in violation of, the Securities Act, or any state securities laws. Subscriber acknowledges that it is not relying upon, and has not relied upon, any statement, representation or warranty made by any person, firm or corporation (including, without limitation, the Company, Dave, the Placement Agents, any of their respective affiliates or any control persons, officers, directors, employees, agents or representatives of any of the foregoing), other than the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the Company contained in this Subscription Agreement, in making its investment or decision to invest in the Company.

(i) Subscriber acknowledges that it is aware that there are substantial risks incident to the purchase and ownership of the Subscribed Shares. Subscriber has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Subscribed Shares, and Subscriber has had an opportunity to seek, and has sought, such accounting, legal, business and tax advice as Subscriber has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision. Subscriber acknowledges that Subscriber shall be responsible for any of the Subscriber’s tax liabilities that may arise as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement, and that neither the Company, Dave, any Non-Party Affiliate (as defined below) of the Company or Dave, nor any of their respective agents, have provided any tax advice or any other representation or guarantee, whether written or oral, regarding the tax consequences of the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement.

(j) Subscriber has adequately analyzed and fully considered the risks of an investment in the Subscribed Shares and determined that the Subscribed Shares are a suitable investment for Subscriber and that Subscriber is able at this time and in the foreseeable future to bear the economic risk of a total loss of Subscriber’s investment in the Company. Subscriber acknowledges specifically that a possibility of total loss exists.

Subscriber represents that if it is a financial institution subject to the Bank Secrecy Act (31 U.S.C. Section 5311 et seq.), as amended by the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001 and its implementing regulations (collectively, the “BSA/PATRIOT Act”), that Subscriber maintains, either directly or through the use of a third-party administrator, policies and procedures reasonably designed to comply with applicable obligations under the BSA/PATRIOT Act. Subscriber also represents that, to the extent required, it maintains policies and procedures reasonably designed for the screening of its investors against the OFAC sanctions programs, including the OFAC List.

Part 800.401, and no foreign person will have control (as defined in 31 C.F.R. Part 800.208) over the Company from and after the Closing as a result of the purchase and sale of Subscribed Shares hereunder.

(n) If Subscriber is an employee benefit plan that is subject to Title I of the U.S. Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), a plan, an individual retirement account or other arrangement that is subject to section 4975 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or an employee benefit plan that is a governmental plan (as defined in section 3(32) of ERISA), a church plan (as defined in section 3(33) of ERISA), a non-U.S. plan (as described in section 4(b)(4) of ERISA) or other plan that is not subject to the foregoing but may be subject to provisions under any other federal, state, local, non-U.S. or other laws or regulations that are similar to such provisions of ERISA or the Code (collectively, “Similar Laws”), or an entity whose underlying assets are considered to include “plan assets” of any such plan, account or arrangement (each, a “Plan”) for purposes of Section 3(42) of ERISA or comparable provisions of any Similar Laws, Subscriber represents and warrants that (x) neither the Company, nor any of its affiliates (the “Transaction Parties”) has acted as the Plan’s fiduciary, or has been relied on for advice, with respect to its decision to acquire and hold the Subscribed Shares, and none of the Transaction Parties shall at any time be relied upon as the Plan’s fiduciary with respect to any decision to acquire, continue to hold or transfer the Subscribed Shares and (y) Subscriber’s acquisition and holding of the Subscribed Shares shall not constitute or result in a non-exempt “prohibited transaction” under Section 406 of ERISA and/or Section 4975 of the Code (or, in the case of a governmental plan, church plan, non-U.S. Plan or other plan, a violation of Similar Law).

(o) Subscriber does not have, as of the date hereof, and during the 30-day period immediately prior to the date hereof such Subscriber has not entered into, any “put equivalent position” as such term is defined in Rule 16a-1 under the Exchange Act or short sale positions with respect to the securities of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a Subscriber that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such Subscriber’s assets and the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of such Subscriber’s assets, the representation set forth above shall only apply with respect to

G-11

the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Subscribed Shares covered by this Subscription Agreement.

(p) Subscriber at the Closing will have sufficient funds to pay the Purchase Price pursuant to Section 2(a).

(q) No broker or finder has acted on behalf of Subscriber in connection with this Subscription Agreement or the sale of the Subscribed Shares hereunder in such a way as to create any liability on the Company.

(r) Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that no Placement Agent shall have any liability or obligation (including without limitation, for or with respect to any losses, claims, damages, obligations, penalties, judgments, awards, liabilities, costs, expenses or disbursements incurred by the Subscriber, the Company or any other person or entity), whether in contract, tort or otherwise, to the Subscriber, or to any person claiming through the Subscriber, in respect of the Transaction.

(s) Subscriber agrees that, notwithstanding Section 8(i), each Placement Agent may rely upon the representations and warranties made by Subscriber to the Company in this Subscription Agreement.

Section 5 Registration of Subscribed Shares.

(a) The Company agrees that, within thirty (30) calendar days following the Closing Date, the Company will file with the Commission (at the Company’s sole cost and expense) a registration statement registering the resale of the Subscribed Shares (the “Registration Statement”), and the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective no later than the earlier of (i) sixty (60) calendar days following the Closing Date (or ninety (90) calendar days after the Closing Date if the Registration Statement is reviewed by, and receives comments from, the Commission) and (ii) the tenth (10^th) Business Day after the date the Company is notified in writing by the Commission that the Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review (such earlier date, the “Effectiveness Deadline”); provided, further, that if the Effectiveness Deadline falls on a Saturday, Sunday or other day that the Commission is closed for business, the Effectiveness Deadline shall be extended to the next Business Day on which the Commission is open for business. The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide a draft of the Registration Statement to the Subscriber for review at least two (2) Business Days in advance of the date of filing the Registration Statement with the Commission; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the Company be required to delay or postpone the filing of such Registration Statement as a result of or in connection with Subscriber’s review. Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Subscriber, the Subscriber shall not be identified as a statutory underwriter in the Registration Statement unless requested or required by statute, regulation or exchange rules; provided, that if the Commission requests that a Subscriber be identified as a statutory underwriter in the Registration Statement, Subscriber will have the opportunity to withdraw from the Registration Statement upon its prompt written request to the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Commission prevents the Company from including any or all of the shares of Class A Common Stock proposed to be registered under the Registration Statement due to limitations on the use of Rule 415 of the Securities Act for the resale of the shares of Class A Common Stock by the applicable stockholders or otherwise, such Registration Statement shall register for resale such number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to the maximum number of shares of Class A Common Stock as is permitted by the Commission. In such event, the number of shares of Class A Common Stock to be registered for each selling stockholder named in the Registration Statement shall be reduced pro rata among all such selling stockholders and as promptly as practicable after being permitted to register additional shares of Class A Common Stock under Rule 415 under the Securities Act, the Company file a new Registration Statement to register such shares not included in the initial Registration Statement and cause such Registration Statement to become effective as promptly as practicable.

(b) The Company agrees that, except for such times as the Company is permitted hereunder to suspend the use of the prospectus forming part of a Registration Statement, the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to remain effective with respect to

G-12

Subscriber until the earliest of (i) three years from the effective date of the initial Registration Statement filed hereunder, (ii) the date on which all of the Subscribed Shares shall have been sold, or (iii) on the first date on which the Subscriber can sell all of its Subscribed Shares (or shares received in exchange therefor) under Rule 144 of the Securities Act without limitation as to the manner of sale or the amount of such securities that may be sold and without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable). The Subscriber agrees to disclose its beneficial ownership, as determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act, of Subscribed Shares to the Company (or its successor) upon request to assist the Company in making the foregoing determination. The Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to file all reports, and provide all customary and reasonable cooperation, necessary to enable Subscriber to resell the Subscribed Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement (for as long as the Registration Statement shall remain effective pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence) or Rule 144 of the Securities Act (when Rule 144 of the Securities Act becomes available to the Company), as applicable, qualify the Subscribed Shares for listing on the applicable stock exchange on which the Class A Common Stock is then listed, and update or amend the Registration Statement as necessary to include the Subscribed Shares. The Company agrees, for as long as Subscriber holds Subscribed Shares, to file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act so long as the Company remains subject to such requirements and the filing of such reports and other documents is required for the applicable provisions of Rule 144; and furnish to Subscriber so long as it owns Subscribed Shares, promptly upon request, (x) a written statement by the Company, if true, that it has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144(c) or Rule 144(i), as applicable, the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, (y) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company (public availability on the Commission’s EDGAR system (or successor system) being sufficient) and (z) such other information as may be reasonably requested to permit Subscriber to sell such securities pursuant to Rule 144 without registration. If the Subscribed Shares are at any time either eligible to be sold (i) pursuant to an effective Registration Statement or (ii) without volume or manner of sale limitations under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, then, at the Subscriber’s reasonable request, the Company will take such actions necessary, in cooperation with the Company’s transfer agent (including, if required by the Company’s transfer agent, delivering an opinion of the Company’s counsel, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company’s transfer agent), to remove any restrictive legend set forth on such Subscribed Shares so that Subscriber can move the Subscribed Shares to its prime brokerage accounts without restriction. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to, within three (3) Business Days of Subscriber’s reasonable request, (i) cause the removal of the restrictive legends from such Subscribed Shares being sold under the Registration Statement or pursuant to Rule 144 at the time of sale of such Subscribed Shares, and (ii) cause its legal counsel to deliver an opinion, if necessary, to the transfer agent in connection with the instruction under subclause (i) to the effect that the removal of such restrictive legends in such circumstances may be effected under the Securities Act, in each case upon the receipt of customary representations and other documentation, if any, from the Subscriber as reasonably requested by the Company, its counsel or the transfer agent, establishing that restrictive legends are no longer required. The Company shall be responsible for the fees of its transfer agent, its legal counsel and all DTC fees associated with such legend removal.

(c) The Company’s obligations to include the Subscribed Shares in the Registration Statement are contingent upon Subscriber furnishing in writing to the Company such information regarding Subscriber, the securities of the Company held by Subscriber and the intended method of disposition of the Subscribed Shares as shall be reasonably requested by the Company to effect the registration of the Subscribed Shares, and Subscriber shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably request that are customary of a selling stockholder in similar situations, including providing that the Company shall be entitled to postpone and suspend the effectiveness or use of the Registration Statement as permitted hereunder; provided, that in connection with the foregoing, the Subscriber shall not be required to execute any lock-up or similar agreement or otherwise be subject to any contractual restriction on the ability to transfer the Subscribed Shares. In the case of the registration effected by the Company pursuant to this Subscription Agreement, the Company shall, upon reasonable request, inform

G-13

Subscriber as to the status of such registration. Subscriber shall not be entitled to use the Registration Statement for an underwritten offering of Subscribed Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company may delay or postpone filing of such Registration Statement, and from time to time require Subscriber not to sell under the Registration Statement or suspend the use or effectiveness of any such Registration Statement if it determines in good faith that in order for the Registration Statement to not contain a material misstatement or omission, an amendment or supplement thereto would be needed, or if such filing or use could materially affect a bona fide business or financing transaction of the Company or would require premature disclosure of information that could materially adversely affect the Company (each such circumstance, a “Suspension Event”); provided that (w) the Company shall not so delay filing or so suspend the use of the Registration Statement for a period of more than forty five (45) consecutive days or more than two (2) times in any three hundred sixty (360) day period and (x) the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make such Registration Statement available for the sale by Subscriber of such securities as soon as practicable thereafter.

(d) Upon receipt of any written notice from the Company (which notice shall not contain any material non-public information of the Company) of the occurrence of any Suspension Event during the period that the Registration Statement is effective or if as a result of a Suspension Event the Registration Statement or related prospectus contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made (in the case of the prospectus) not misleading, Subscriber agrees that (i) it will immediately discontinue offers and sales of the Subscribed Shares under the Registration Statement (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, sales conducted pursuant to Rule 144) until the Subscriber receives copies of a supplemental or amended prospectus (which the Company agrees to promptly prepare) that corrects the misstatement(s) or omission(s) referred to above and receives notice that any post-effective amendment or supplement has become effective or unless otherwise notified by the Company that it may resume such offers and sales; and (ii) it will maintain the confidentiality of any information included in such written notice delivered by the Company, unless otherwise required by law, subpoena or regulatory request or requirement. If so directed by the Company, the Subscriber will deliver to the Company or, in the Subscriber’s sole discretion destroy, all copies of the prospectus covering the Subscribed Shares in the Subscriber’s possession; provided, however, that this obligation to deliver or destroy all copies of the prospectus covering the Subscribed Shares shall not apply (i) to the extent the Subscriber is required to retain a copy of such prospectus (A) in order to comply with applicable legal, regulatory, self-regulatory or professional requirements or (B) in accordance with a bona fide pre-existing document retention policy or (ii) to copies stored electronically on archival servers as a result of automatic data back-up. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its transfer agent to deliver unlegended shares of Class A Common Stock to a transferee of the Subscriber in connection with any sale of Subscribed Shares with respect to which the Subscriber has entered into a contract for sale prior to the Subscriber’s receipt of the notice of a Suspension Event and for which the Subscriber has not yet settled.

(e) The Company shall, at its expense: (i) advise the Subscriber as promptly as practicable: (A) when a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto has become effective; (B) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for such purpose; (C) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Subscribed Shares included therein for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; and (D) subject to the applicable provisions of this Section 5, of the occurrence of any event that requires the making of any changes in the Registration Statement or prospectus so that, as of such date, the statements therein are not misleading and do not omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Company shall not, when so advising Subscriber of such events, subject Subscriber to any duty of confidentiality or provide Subscriber with any material, nonpublic information regarding the Company other than to the extent that providing notice to Subscriber of the occurrence of the events listed in (A) through (D) above

G-14

constitutes material, nonpublic information regarding the Company; and (ii) use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement as soon as reasonably practicable.

(f) Except for such times as the Company is permitted hereunder to suspend, and has suspended, the use of a prospectus forming part of a Registration Statement as contemplated by this Subscription Agreement, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to as soon as reasonably practicable prepare a post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement or a supplement to the related prospectus, or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to purchasers of the Subscribed Shares included therein, such prospectus will not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(g) The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Subscribed Shares to be listed on each securities exchange or market, if any, on which the Class A Common Stock has been listed.

(h) The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to take all other steps necessary to effect the registration of the Subscribed Shares required hereby.

(i) Indemnification.

(i) The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless Subscriber (to the extent a seller under the Registration Statement), the officers, directors, advisers, agents and employees of Subscriber, each person who controls Subscriber (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and the officers, directors, agents and employees of each such controlling person, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) and expenses (collectively, “Losses”) that arise out of or are based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any prospectus included in the Registration Statement or any form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any prospectus or form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, except to the extent that such untrue statements, alleged untrue statements, omissions or alleged omissions are based upon information regarding Subscriber furnished in writing to the Company by the Subscriber expressly for use therein or that the Subscriber has omitted a material fact from such information. The Company shall notify the Subscriber promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any proceeding arising from or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Section 5 of which the Company is aware. Notwithstanding the forgoing, the Company’s indemnification obligations shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Losses or action if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(ii) Subscriber shall, severally and not jointly with any Other Subscriber, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers, agents and employees, each person who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, agents or employees of such controlling persons, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against all Losses arising out of or based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, any prospectus included in the Registration Statement, or any form of prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any prospectus, or any form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statements, alleged untrue statements, omissions or alleged omissions are based upon information regarding Subscriber furnished in writing to the Company by Subscriber expressly for use

G-15

therein. In no event shall the liability of Subscriber be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by Subscriber upon the sale of the Subscribed Shares giving rise to such indemnification obligation. Notwithstanding the forgoing, Subscriber indemnification obligations shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Losses or action if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of Subscriber (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(iii) Any person or entity entitled to indemnification herein shall (A) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any person’s or entity’s right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (B) unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which cannot be settled in all respects by the payment of money (and such money is so paid by the indemnifying party pursuant to the terms of such settlement) or which settlement includes a statement or admission of fault and culpability on the part of such indemnified party or which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

(iv) The indemnification provided for under this Subscription Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director, employee, agent, affiliate or controlling person or entity of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of securities.

(v) If the indemnification provided under this Section 5 from the indemnifying party is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any Losses referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such Losses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided, however, the liability of Subscriber shall be limited the net proceeds received by such Subscriber from the sale of Subscribed Shares giving rise to such indemnification obligation. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, was made by (or not made by, in the case of an omission), or relates to information supplied by (or not supplied by, in the case of an omission), such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the indemnifying party’s and indemnified party’s relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the Losses referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 5, any legal or other fees, charges or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution pursuant to this Section 5(i)(v) from any person or entity who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

(vi) For purposes of this Section 5, (i) “Subscriber” shall include any person to whom the rights under this Section 5 shall have been duly assigned in accordance with this Agreement and (ii) “Subscribed Shares” shall mean, as of any date of determination, the Subscribed Shares acquired by the

G-16

Subscriber pursuant to this Subscription Agreement and any other equity security issued or issuable with respect to such Subscribed Shares by way of share split, dividend, distribution, recapitalization, merger, exchange, replacement or similar event.

(j) Subscriber hereby agrees that neither it, nor any person or entity acting on its behalf or pursuant to any understanding with the Subscriber, shall, directly or indirectly, engage in any hedging activities or execute any Short Sales with respect to the securities of the Company from the date hereof until the Closing or the earlier termination of this Subscription Agreement in accordance with its terms. “Short Sales” shall include, without limitation, all “short sales” as defined in Rule 200 of Regulation SHO under the Exchange Act and all types of direct and indirect stock pledges (other than pledges in the ordinary course of business as part of prime brokerage arrangements) and forward sale contracts, options, puts, calls, swaps and similar arrangements (including on a total return basis), and sales and other transactions through non-U.S. broker dealers or foreign regulated brokers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the restrictions in this Section 5(j) shall not apply to (i) any sale (including the exercise of any redemption right) of securities of the Company (A) held by the Subscriber, its controlled affiliates or any person or entity acting on behalf of the Subscriber or any of its controlled affiliates prior to the execution of this Subscription Agreement or (B) purchased by the Subscriber, its controlled affiliates or any person or entity acting on behalf of the Subscriber or any of its controlled affiliates in an open market transaction after the execution of this Subscription Agreement, or (ii) ordinary course hedging transactions so long as the sales or borrowings relating to such hedging transactions are not settled with the Subscribed Shares and the number of securities sold in such transactions does not exceed the number of securities owned or subscribed for at the time of such transactions. Further, notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) nothing in this Section 5(j) shall prohibit other entities under common management with Subscriber, or that share an investment advisor with Subscriber, that have no knowledge of this Subscription Agreement or of Subscriber’s Subscription (including Subscriber’s controlled affiliates and/or affiliates) from entering into any Short Sales and (ii) in the case of a Subscriber that is a multi-managed investment bank or vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers or desks manage separate portions of such Subscriber’s assets and the portfolio managers or desks have no knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers or desks managing other portions of Subscriber’s assets, the limitations set forth in the first sentence of this Section 5(j) shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager or desk that made the investment decision to purchase the Subscribed Shares (the “Investing Portfolio Manager”) and other portfolio managers or desks who have direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the Investing Portfolio Manager.

Section 6 Termination. This Subscription Agreement shall terminate and be void and of no further force and effect, and all rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall terminate without any further liability on the part of any party in respect thereof, upon the earlier to occur of (a) such date and time as the Transaction Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, (b) upon the mutual written agreement of the Company and Subscriber to terminate this Subscription Agreement or (c) February 3, 2022, if the Closing has not occurred by such date; provided, that nothing herein will relieve any party from liability for any willful breach hereof prior to the time of termination, and each party will be entitled to any remedies at law or in equity to recover losses, liabilities or damages arising from such breach. The Company shall notify Subscriber of the termination of the Transaction Agreement promptly after the termination thereof.

Section 7 Trust Account Waiver. Subscriber hereby acknowledges that the Company has established a trust account (the “Trust Account”) containing the proceeds of its initial public offering (the “IPO”) and from certain private placements occurring simultaneously with the IPO (including interest accrued from time to time thereon) for the benefit of the Company’s public stockholders and certain other parties (including the underwriters of the IPO). For and in consideration of the Company entering into this Subscription Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Subscriber hereby (i) agrees that it does not now and shall not at any time hereafter have any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any assets held in the Trust Account, and shall not make any claim against the Trust

G-17

Account, regardless of whether such claim arises as a result of, in connection with or relating in any way to this Subscription Agreement or any other matter, and regardless of whether such claim arises based on contract, tort, equity or any other theory of legal liability (any and all such claims are collectively referred to hereafter as the “Released Claims”), (ii) irrevocably waives any Released Claims that it may have against the Trust Account now or in the future, and (iii) will not seek recourse against the Trust Account for any reason whatsoever; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 7 shall be deemed to limit any Subscriber’s right to distributions from the Trust Account in accordance with the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation in respect of shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company acquired by any means other than pursuant to this Subscription Agreement.

Section 8 Miscellaneous.

(a) Any notice, request, claim, demand, waiver, consent, approval or other communication which is required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given (i) when delivered by hand (with written confirmation of receipt), (ii) when received by the addressee if sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier postage prepaid (receipt requested), (iii) on the date sent by email (with confirmation of transmission, and provided, that, unless affirmatively confirmed by the recipient as received, notice is also sent to such party under another method permitted in this Section 8(a) within two (2) Business Days thereafter) if sent during normal business hours of the recipient, and on the next Business Day if sent after normal business hours of the recipient or (iv) on the third (3^rd) Business Day after the date mailed, by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, in each case, addressed to the intended recipient at its address specified on the signature page hereof or to such electronic mail address or address as subsequently modified by written notice given in accordance with this Section 8(a); provided that any notice, request, claim, demand, waiver, consent, approval or other communication given pursuant to clauses (i), (ii) or (iv) shall also be given in the method provided in clause (iii).

(b) The Subscriber acknowledges that the Company and, to the extent set forth in Section 8(n), the Placement Agents and Dave, will rely on the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties contained in this Subscription Agreement. Prior to the Closing, Subscriber agrees to promptly notify the Company if it becomes aware that any of the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties of Subscriber set forth herein are no longer accurate in all material respects. The Company acknowledges that Subscriber, the Placement Agents and others will rely on the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties contained in this Subscription Agreement. Prior to the Closing, the Company agrees to promptly notify the Subscriber and the Placement Agents if it becomes aware that any of the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties of the Company set forth herein are no longer accurate in all material respects.

(c) Each of the Company, the Placement Agents, Dave and the Subscriber is irrevocably authorized to produce this Subscription Agreement or a copy hereof to any interested party in any administrative or legal proceeding or official inquiry with respect to the matters covered hereby.

(d) Subscriber shall pay all of its own expenses in connection with this Subscription Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein.

(e) Neither this Subscription Agreement nor any rights that may accrue to Subscriber hereunder (other than the Subscribed Shares acquired hereunder, if any) may be transferred or assigned. Neither this Subscription Agreement nor any rights that may accrue to the Company hereunder may be transferred or assigned (provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, the Company may transfer the Subscription Agreement and its rights hereunder solely in connection with the consummation of the Transaction and exclusively to another entity under the control of, or under common control with, the Company). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Subscriber may assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Subscription Agreement to one or more of its affiliates, to other investment funds or accounts managed or advised by the investment manager who acts on behalf of Subscriber, or, with the Company’s prior written consent, to another person, provided, in each case that no such assignment shall relieve Subscriber of its obligations hereunder if any such assignee fails to perform such obligations.

G-18

(f) All the agreements, representations and warranties made by each party hereto in this Subscription Agreement shall survive the Closing. For the avoidance of doubt, if for any reason the Closing does not occur prior to the consummation of the Transaction, all representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the parties hereunder shall survive the consummation of the Transaction and remain in full force and effect.

(g) The Company may request from Subscriber such additional information as the Company may deem reasonably necessary to evaluate the eligibility of Subscriber to acquire the Subscribed Shares, and Subscriber shall provide such information as may be reasonably requested, to the extent readily available and to the extent consistent with its internal policies and procedures (except with respect to requests in connection with determining eligibility under applicable laws, rules or regulations (including, without limitation, financial services or banking laws, rules or regulations) and/or requests by applicable governmental authorities, which requests shall be complied with in all respects), and the Company agrees to keep such information confidential, except (i) as necessary to include in any registration statement required to be filed hereunder, (ii) as required by the federal securities law or pursuant to other routine proceedings of regulatory authorities or (iii) to the extent such disclosure is required by law, at the request of the staff of the SEC or regulatory agency or under the regulations of any national securities exchange on which the Company’s securities are listed for trading.

(h) This Subscription Agreement may not be amended or modified except by an instrument in writing, signed by each of the parties hereto. This Subscription Agreement may not be waived except by an instrument in writing, signed by the party against whom enforcement of such waiver is sought.

(i) This Subscription Agreement constitutes the entire agreement, and supersedes all other prior agreements, understandings, representations and warranties, both written and oral, among the parties, with respect to the subject matter hereof. Except as otherwise provided in Section 8(n), this Subscription Agreement shall not confer any rights or remedies upon any person other than the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns.

(j) Except as otherwise provided herein, this Subscription Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives, and permitted assigns, and the agreements, representations, warranties, covenants and acknowledgments contained herein shall be deemed to be made by, and be binding upon, such heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns.

(k) If any provision of this Subscription Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Subscription Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and shall continue in full force and effect.

(l) No failure or delay by the Company or Subscriber in exercising any right, power or remedy under this Subscription Agreement, and no course of dealing between the Company or Subscriber, shall operate as a waiver of any such right, power or remedy of such party. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or remedy under this Subscription Agreement by the Company or Subscriber, nor any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce any such right, power or remedy, shall preclude such party from any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy hereunder.

REGISTRATION RIGHTS

Section 2.1 Shelf Registration.

(a) Filing. Parent shall file, within thirty (30) calendar days after the Closing Date or such other earlier date as is required in accordance with any Subscription Agreements, a Registration Statement for a Shelf Registration on Form S-3 (the “Form S-3 Shelf”), or if Parent is ineligible to use a Form S-3 Shelf, a Registration Statement for a Shelf Registration on Form S-1 (the “Form S-1 Shelf,” and together with the Form S-3 Shelf (and any Subsequent Shelf Registration), the “Shelf”), in each case, covering the resale of all Registrable Securities (determined as of two (2) Business Days prior to such filing) on a delayed or continuous basis. Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Shelf to become effective as soon as practicable after such filing, but in no event later than sixty (60) calendar days (or ninety (90) calendar days if the SEC notifies Parent that it will “review” the Shelf) after the initial filing thereof or such other earlier date as is required in accordance with any Subscription Agreements. The Shelf shall provide for the resale of the Registrable Securities included therein pursuant to any method or combination of methods legally available to, and requested by, any Holder. Parent shall maintain the Shelf in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and shall prepare and file with the SEC such amendments, including post-effective amendments, and supplements as may be necessary to keep such Shelf continuously effective, available for use and in compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act until such time as there are no longer any Registrable Securities. In the event Parent files a Form S-1 Shelf, Parent shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to convert the Form S-1 Shelf (and any Subsequent Shelf Registration) to a Form S-3 Shelf as soon as practicable after Parent is eligible to use Form S-3.

(b) Subsequent Shelf Registration. If any Shelf ceases to be effective under the Securities Act for any reason at any time while there are any Registrable Securities outstanding, Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to as promptly as is reasonably practicable cause such Shelf to again become effective under the Securities Act (including obtaining the prompt withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of such Shelf), and shall use its reasonable best efforts to as promptly as is reasonably practicable amend such Shelf in a manner reasonably expected to result in the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of such Shelf or file an additional Registration Statement as a Shelf Registration (a “Subsequent Shelf Registration”) registering the resale of all outstanding Registrable Securities from time to time, and pursuant to any method or combination of methods legally available to, and requested by, any Holder. If a Subsequent Shelf Registration is filed, Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to (i) cause such Subsequent Shelf Registration to become effective under the Securities Act as promptly as is reasonably practicable after the filing thereof (it being agreed that the Subsequent Shelf Registration shall be an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement if Parent is a Well-Known Seasoned Issuer at the time of such filing) and (ii) keep such Subsequent Shelf Registration continuously effective, available for use and in compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act until such time as there are no longer any Registrable Securities outstanding. Any such Subsequent Shelf Registration shall be on Form S-3 to the extent that Parent is eligible to use such form. Otherwise, such Subsequent Shelf Registration shall be on another appropriate form. In the event that any Holder holds Registrable Securities that are not registered for resale on a delayed or continuous basis, Parent, upon request of a Holder, shall promptly use its reasonable best efforts to cause the resale of such Registrable Securities to be covered by either, at Parent’s option, the Shelf (including by means of a post-effective amendment) or a Subsequent Shelf Registration and cause the same to become effective as soon as practicable after such filing and such Shelf or Subsequent Shelf Registration shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement.

H-11

(c) Requests for Underwritten Shelf Takedowns. At any time and from time to time after the Shelf has been declared effective by the SEC, the Holders may request to sell all or any portion of their Registrable Securities in an underwritten offering that is registered pursuant to the Shelf (each, an “Underwritten Shelf Takedown”); provided that Parent shall only be obligated to effect an Underwritten Shelf Takedown if such offering (i) shall include securities with a total offering price (including piggyback securities and before deduction of underwriting discounts) reasonably expected to exceed, in the aggregate, $10 million (the “Minimum Takedown Threshold”) or (ii) shall be made with respect to all of the Registrable Securities of the Demanding Holder. All requests for Underwritten Shelf Takedowns shall be made by giving written notice to Parent, which shall specify the approximate number of Registrable Securities proposed to be sold in the Underwritten Shelf Takedown and the expected price range (net of underwriting discounts and commissions) of such Underwritten Shelf Takedown. The Holders that requested such Underwritten Shelf Takedown (the “Demanding Holders”) shall have the right to select the Underwriters for such offering (which shall consist of one (1) or more reputable nationally or regionally recognized investment banks), and to agree to the pricing and other terms of such offering; provided that such selection shall be subject to the consent of Parent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in no event shall any Holder or any Transferee thereof request an Underwritten Shelf Takedown during the Lock-Up Period applicable to such Person. There shall be no limit to the number of Underwritten Shelf Takedowns that may be requested by any Holder, subject to the proviso in the first sentence of this Section 2.1(c). For the avoidance of doubt, Underwritten Shelf Takedowns shall include underwritten block trades; provided that other Holders of Registrable Securities shall have to exercise any piggy-back rights, subject in all cases, to Article III (pro rata based on the respective then-ownership of Registrable Securities of each such Holder) on any such block trade no later than twenty four (24) hours following receipt of any written notice regarding such block trade, which notice shall contain a summary of all material terms of such block trade, to the extent then known.

(d) Shelf Takedown Participation. Promptly upon receipt of a Shelf Takedown Request (but in no event more than three (3) Business Days thereafter (or more than twenty-four (24) hours thereafter in connection with an underwritten “block trade”)) for any Underwritten Shelf Takedown, Parent shall deliver a notice (a “Shelf Takedown Notice”) to each other Holder with Registrable Securities covered by the applicable Registration Statement (each, a “Potential Takedown Participant”). The Shelf Takedown Notice shall offer each such Potential Takedown Participant the opportunity, subject to the provisions of Article III, to include in any Underwritten Shelf Takedown such number of Registrable Securities as each such Potential Takedown Participant may request in writing (each a “Requesting Holder”). Parent shall include in the Underwritten Shelf Takedown all such Registrable Securities with respect to which Parent has received written requests for inclusion therein within three (3) Business Days (or within twenty-four (24) hours in connection with an underwritten “block trade”) after the date that the Shelf Takedown Notice has been delivered. Any Requesting Holder’s request to participate in an Underwritten Shelf Takedown shall be binding on the Requesting Holder; provided that each such Requesting Holder that elects to participate may condition its participation on the Underwritten Shelf Takedown being completed within ten (10) Business Days of its acceptance at a price per share (after giving effect to any underwriters’ discounts or commissions) to such Requesting Holder of not less than a percentage of the closing price for the shares on their principal trading market on the Business Day immediately prior to such Requesting Holder’s election to participate, as specified in such Requesting Holder’s request to participate in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown (the “Participation Conditions”). Notwithstanding the delivery of any Shelf Takedown Notice, but subject to the Participation Conditions (to the extent applicable), all determinations as to whether to complete any Underwritten Shelf Takedown and as to the timing, manner, price and other terms of any Underwritten Shelf Takedown contemplated by this Section 2.1(d) shall be determined by the Demanding Holders.

(e) Reduction of Underwritten Shelf Takedowns. If the managing Underwriter or Underwriters in an Underwritten Shelf Takedown, in good faith, advise Parent, the Demanding Holders and the Requesting Holders (if any) in writing that the dollar amount or number of Registrable Securities that the Demanding Holders and the Requesting Holders (if any) desire to sell, taken together with all other shares of Common Stock or other Equity Securities that Parent desires to sell and all other shares of Common Stock or other Equity Securities, if any, that

H-12

have been requested to be sold in such Underwritten Offering pursuant to separate written contractual piggyback registration rights held by any other stockholders, exceeds the maximum dollar amount or maximum number of Equity Securities that can be sold in the Underwritten Offering without adversely affecting the proposed offering price, the timing, the distribution method, or the probability of success of such offering (such maximum dollar amount or maximum number of such securities, as applicable, the “Maximum Number of Securities”), then Parent shall include in such Underwritten Offering, as follows: at all times (i) first, the Registrable Securities of the Demanding Holders and the Requesting Holders (if any) (pro rata based on the respective number of Registrable Securities that each Demanding Holder and Requesting Holder (if any) has requested be included in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown) that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (ii) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause (i), the shares of Common Stock or other Equity Securities that Parent desires to sell, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (iii) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), the shares of Common Stock or other Equity Securities of other Persons that Parent is obligated to include in such Underwritten Offering pursuant to separate written contractual arrangements with such Persons and that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities.

(f) Withdrawal. Any of the Demanding Holders initiating an Underwritten Shelf Takedown shall have the right to withdraw from such Underwritten Shelf Takedown for any or no reason whatsoever upon written notification (a “Withdrawal Notice”) to Parent and the Underwriter or Underwriters (if any) of such Demanding Holder’s intention to withdraw from such Underwritten Shelf Takedown, prior to the public announcement of the Underwritten Shelf Takedown by Parent; provided that a Holder not so withdrawing may elect to have Parent continue an Underwritten Shelf Takedown if the Minimum Takedown Threshold would still be satisfied or if the Underwritten Shelf Takedown would be made with respect to all of the Registrable Securities of such Holder. Following the receipt of any Withdrawal Notice, Parent shall promptly forward such Withdrawal Notice to any other Holders that had elected to participate in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Parent shall be responsible for the Registration Expenses incurred in connection with the Underwritten Shelf Takedown prior to delivery of a Withdrawal Notice under this Section 2.1(f).

(g) Long-Form Demands. Upon the expiration of the Lock-Up Period applicable to such Person, and during such times as no Shelf is effective, each Holder may demand that Parent file a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (or on Form S-3 if available) for the purpose of conducting an Underwritten Offering of any or all of such Holder’s Registrable Securities. Parent shall file such Registration Statement within thirty (30) calendar days of receipt of such demand and use its reasonable best efforts to cause the same to be declared effective within sixty (60) calendar days of filing (or ninety (90) calendar day if the SEC notifies Parent that it will “review” the Shelf). The provisions of Section 2.1(c), Section 2.1(e) and Section 2.1(f) shall apply to this Section 2.1(g) as if a demand under this Section 2.1(g) were an Underwritten Shelf Takedown, provided that in order to withdraw a demand under this Section 2.1(g), such withdrawal must be received by Parent prior to Parent having publicly filed a Registration Statement pursuant to this Section 2.1(g).

Section 2.2 Piggyback Registration.

(a) Piggyback Rights. If Parent or any Holder proposes to conduct a registered offering of, or if Parent proposes to file a Registration Statement under the Securities Act with respect to an offering of, Equity Securities of Parent or securities or other obligations exercisable or exchangeable for, or convertible into Equity Securities of Parent, for its own account or for the account of stockholders of Parent (or by Parent and by the stockholders of Parent including an Underwritten Shelf Takedown pursuant to Section 2.1), other than a Registration Statement (or any registered offering with respect thereto) (i) filed in connection with any employee stock option or other benefit plan, (ii) for an exchange offer or offering of securities solely to Parent’s existing stockholders, (iii) for an offering of debt that is convertible into Equity Securities of Parent, or (iv) for a dividend reinvestment plan, then Parent shall give written notice of such proposed offering to all Holders as soon as practicable but not less than four (4) calendar days before the anticipated filing date of such Registration

H-13

Statement or, in the case of an underwritten offering pursuant to a Shelf Registration, the launch date of such offering, which notice shall (A) describe the amount and type of securities to be included in such offering, the intended method(s) of distribution, and the name of the proposed managing Underwriter or Underwriters, if any and if known, in such offering, and (B) offer to all of the Holders the opportunity to include in such registered offering such number of Registrable Securities as such Holders may request in writing within three (3) calendar days after receipt of such written notice (such registered offering, a “Piggyback Registration”). Parent shall cause such Registrable Securities to be included in such Piggyback Registration and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the managing Underwriter or Underwriters of a proposed Underwritten Offering to permit the Registrable Securities requested by the Holders pursuant to this Section 2.2(a) to be included in a Piggyback Registration on the same terms and conditions as any similar securities of Parent included in such registered offering and to permit the sale or other disposition of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof. The inclusion of any Holder’s Registrable Securities in a Piggyback Registration shall be subject to such Holder’s agreement to abide by the terms of Section 2.6 below.

(b) Reduction of Piggyback Registration. If the managing Underwriter or Underwriters in an Underwritten Offering that is to be a Piggyback Registration (other than an Underwritten Shelf Takedown), in good faith, advises Parent and the Holders participating in the Piggyback Registration in writing that the dollar amount or number of the shares of Common Stock or other Equity Securities that Parent desires to sell, taken together with (i) the shares of Common Stock or other Equity Securities, if any, as to which Registration or a registered offering has been demanded pursuant to separate written contractual arrangements with Persons other than the Holders hereunder and (ii) the shares of Common Stock or other Equity Securities, if any, as to which registration has been requested pursuant to Section 2.2, exceeds the Maximum Number of Securities, then:

(i) If the Registration is initiated and undertaken for Parent’s account, Parent shall include in any such Registration (A) first, the shares of Common Stock or other Equity Securities that Parent desires to sell, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (B) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause (A), the Registrable Securities of Holders exercising their rights to register their Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2.2(a) (pro rata based on the respective number of Registrable Securities that each Holder has requested be included in such Registration), which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and (C) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), the shares of Common Stock or other Equity Securities, if any, as to which Registration has been requested pursuant to written contractual piggyback registration rights of other stockholders of Parent, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; or

(ii) If the Registration is pursuant to a request by Persons other than the Holders, then Parent shall include in any such Registration (A) first, the shares of Common Stock or other Equity Securities, if any, of such requesting Persons, other than the Holders, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (B) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause (A), the Registrable Securities of Holders exercising their rights to register their Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2.2(a) (pro rata based on the respective number of Registrable Securities that each Holder has requested be included in such Registration) which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (C) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), the shares of Common Stock or other Equity Securities that Parent desires to sell, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and (D) fourth, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A), (B) and (C), the shares of Common Stock or other Equity Securities, if any, for the account of other Persons that Parent is obligated to register pursuant to separate written contractual piggyback registration rights of such Persons, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.2(b), in the event a Demanding Holder has submitted notice for a bona fide Underwritten Shelf Takedown and all sales pursuant to such Underwritten Shelf Takedown pursuant to Section 2.1 have not been effected in accordance with the applicable plan of distribution

H-14

or submitted a Withdrawal Notice prior to such time that Parent has given written notice of a Piggyback Registration to all Holders pursuant to Section 2.2, then any reduction in the number of Registrable Securities to be offered in such offering shall be determined in accordance with Section 2.1(e), instead of this Section 2.2(b).

(c) Piggyback Registration Withdrawal. Any Holder shall have the right to withdraw from a Piggyback Registration for any or no reason whatsoever upon written notification to Parent and the Underwriter or Underwriters (if any) of such Holder’s intention to withdraw from such Piggyback Registration prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement filed with the SEC with respect to such Piggyback Registration or, in the case of a Piggyback Registration pursuant to a Shelf Registration, the filing of the applicable “red herring” prospectus or prospectus supplement with respect to such Piggyback Registration used for marketing such transaction. Parent (whether on its own good faith determination or as the result of a request for withdrawal by Persons pursuant to separate written contractual obligations) may withdraw a Registration Statement filed with the SEC in connection with a Piggyback Registration (which, in no circumstance, shall include the Shelf) at any time prior to the effectiveness of such Registration Statement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, Parent shall be responsible for the Registration Expenses incurred in connection with the Piggyback Registration prior to its withdrawal under this Section 2.2(c).

(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Section 2.2 shall not apply (i) for any Holder or Party, prior to the expiration of the Lock-Up Period in respect of such Holder or Party or (ii) to any Shelf Takedown irrespective of whether such Shelf Takedown is an Underwritten Shelf Takedown or not an Underwritten Shelf Takedown.

Section 2.3 Restriction on Transfer. In connection with any Underwritten Offering of Equity Securities of Parent, each Holder that holds more than five percent (5%) of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, agrees that it shall not Transfer (other than a Permitted Transfer) any shares of Common Stock (other than those included in such offering pursuant to this Agreement), without the prior written consent of Parent, during the seven (7) calendar days prior (to the extent notice of such Underwritten Offering has been provided) to and the ninety (90)-day period beginning on the date of pricing of such offering, except in the event the Underwriter managing the offering otherwise agrees by written consent, and further agrees to execute a customary lock-up agreement in favor of the Underwriters to such effect (in each case on substantially the same terms and conditions as all such Holders). Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Holder shall not be subject to this Section 2.3 with respect to an Underwritten Offering unless each Holder that holds at least five percent (5%) of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock and each of Parent’s directors and executive officers have executed a lock-up on terms at least as restrictive with respect to such Underwritten Offering as requested of the Holders.

Section 2.4 General Procedures. In connection with effecting any Registration and/or Shelf Takedown, subject to applicable Law and any regulations promulgated by any securities exchange on which Parent’s Equity Securities are then listed, each as interpreted by Parent with the advice of its counsel, Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts (except as set forth in clause (d) below) to effect such Registration to permit the sale of the Registrable Securities included in such Registration in accordance with the intended plan of distribution thereof, and pursuant thereto Parent shall, as expeditiously as possible:

H-15

(d) prior to any public offering of Registrable Securities, use its best efforts to (i) register or qualify the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement under such securities or “blue sky” Laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as the Holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement (in light of their intended plan of distribution) may request (or provide evidence satisfactory to such Holders that the Registrable Securities are exempt from such registration or qualification) and (ii) take such action necessary to cause such Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by such other Governmental Entities as may be necessary by virtue of the business and operations of Parent and do any and all other acts and things that may be necessary or advisable to enable the Holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities in such jurisdictions; provided, however, that Parent shall not be required to qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify or take any action to which it would be subject to general service of process or taxation in any such jurisdiction where it is not then otherwise so subject;

(h) at least three (3) calendar days prior to the filing of any Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to such Registration Statement or Prospectus or any document that is to be incorporated by reference into such Registration Statement or Prospectus furnish a draft thereof to each Holder of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement, or its counsel, if any (excluding any exhibits thereto and any filing made under the Exchange Act that is to be incorporated by reference therein);

(i) notify the Holders at any time when a Prospectus relating to such Registration Statement is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening of any event as a result of which the Prospectus included in such Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes a Misstatement, and then to correct such Misstatement as set forth in Section 2.7;

(j) permit Representatives of the Holders, the Underwriters, if any, and any attorney, consultant or accountant retained by such Holders or Underwriter to participate, at each such Person’s own expense except to the extent such expenses constitute Registration Expenses, in the preparation of the Registration Statement, and cause Parent’s officers, directors and employees to supply all information reasonably requested by any such Representative, Underwriter, attorney, consultant or accountant in connection with the Registration; provided, however, that such Persons agree to confidentiality arrangements reasonably satisfactory to Parent, prior to the release or disclosure of any such information;

H-16

(k) obtain a “cold comfort” letter, and a bring-down thereof, from Parent’s independent registered public accountants in the event of an Underwritten Offering which the participating Holders may rely on, in customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered by “cold comfort” letters as the managing Underwriter may reasonably request, and reasonably satisfactory to a majority-in-interest of the participating Holders;

(l) on the date the Registrable Securities are delivered for sale pursuant to such Registration, obtain an opinion and negative assurances letter, dated such date, of counsel representing Parent for the purposes of such Registration, addressed to the Holders, the placement agent or sales agent, if any, and the Underwriters, if any, covering such legal matters with respect to the Registration in respect of which such opinion is being given as the Holders, placement agent, sales agent, or Underwriter may reasonably request and as are customarily included in such opinions and negative assurance letters, and reasonably satisfactory to the participating Holders;

(m) in the event of any Underwritten Offering, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form, with the managing Underwriter of such offering;

(n) make available to its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement which satisfies the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder (or any successor rule promulgated thereafter by the SEC);

(o) if an Underwritten Offering involves Registrable Securities with a total offering price (including piggyback securities and before deduction of underwriting discounts) reasonably expected to exceed, in the aggregate, fifty million dollars ($50,000,000), use its commercially reasonable efforts to make available senior executives of Parent to participate in customary “road show” presentations that may be reasonably requested by the Underwriter in such Underwritten Offering; and

(p) otherwise, in good faith, cooperate reasonably with, and take such customary actions as may reasonably be requested, by the Holders, in connection with such Registration.

Section 2.5 Registration Expenses. The Registration Expenses of all Registrations shall be borne by Parent. It is acknowledged by the Holders that the Holders selling any Registrable Securities in an offering shall bear all incremental selling expenses relating to the sale of Registrable Securities (including all reasonable fees and expenses of any legal counsel representing such Holders (to the extent such counsel is not also representing Parent, as determined in accordance with clause (f) of the definition of “Registration Expenses”)), such as Underwriters’ commissions and discounts, brokerage fees, Underwriter marketing costs, in each case pro rata based on the number of Registrable Securities that such Holders have sold in such Registration.

Section 2.6 Requirements for Participating in Underwritten Offerings. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Holder does not provide Parent with its requested Holder Information, Parent may exclude such Holder’s Registrable Securities from the applicable Registration Statement or Prospectus if Parent determines, based on the advice of counsel, that such information is necessary to effect the registration and such Holder continues thereafter to withhold such information. No Person may participate in any Underwritten Offering of Equity Securities of Parent pursuant to a Registration under this Agreement unless such Person (a) agrees to sell such Person’s Registrable Securities on the basis provided in any underwriting and other arrangements approved by Parent in the case of an Underwritten Offering initiated by Parent, and approved by the Demanding Holders in the case of an Underwritten Offering initiated by the Demanding Holders and (b) completes and executes all customary questionnaires, powers of attorney, custody agreements, indemnities, lock-up agreements, underwriting agreements and other customary documents as may be reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements. Subject to the minimum thresholds set forth in Section 2.1(c) and Section 2.4(o), the exclusion of a Holder’s Registrable Securities as a result of this Section 2.6 shall not affect the registration of the other Registrable Securities to be included in such Registration.

Section 2.7 Suspension of Sales; Adverse Disclosure. Upon receipt of written notice from Parent that a Registration Statement or Prospectus contains a Misstatement, each of the Holders shall forthwith discontinue

H-17

disposition of Registrable Securities until it has received copies of a supplemented or amended Prospectus correcting the Misstatement (and Parent hereby covenants to prepare and file such supplement or amendment as soon as practicable after giving such notice), or until it is advised in writing by Parent that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed. If the filing, initial effectiveness or continued use of a Registration Statement in respect of any Registration at any time would require Parent to make an Adverse Disclosure or would require the inclusion in such Registration Statement of financial statements that are unavailable to Parent for reasons beyond Parent’s control, Parent may, upon giving prompt written notice of such action to the Holders, delay the filing or initial effectiveness of, or suspend use of, such Registration Statement for the shortest period of time, but in no event more than ninety (90) days in any twelve (12)-month period, determined in good faith by Parent to be necessary for such purpose. In the event Parent exercises its rights under the preceding sentence, the Holders agree to suspend, immediately upon their receipt of the notice referred to above, their use of the Prospectus relating to such Registration in connection with any sale or offer to sell Registrable Securities. Parent shall immediately notify the Holders of the expiration of any period during which it exercised its rights under this Section 2.7.

Section 2.8 Reporting Obligations. As long as any Holder shall own Registrable Securities, Parent, at all times while it shall be a reporting company under the Exchange Act, covenants to file timely (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by Parent after the Effective Date pursuant to Sections 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and to promptly furnish the Holders with true and complete copies of all such filings; provided that any documents publicly filed or furnished with the SEC pursuant to the Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval System shall be deemed to have been furnished to the Holders pursuant to this Section 2.8.

Section 2.9 Other Obligations. In connection with a Transfer of Registrable Securities exempt from Section 3 of the Securities Act or through any broker-dealer transactions described in the plan of distribution set forth within the Prospectus and pursuant to the Registration Statement of which such Prospectus forms a part, Parent shall, subject to applicable Law, as interpreted by Parent with the advice of counsel, and the receipt of any customary documentation required from the applicable Holders in connection therewith, (a) promptly instruct its transfer agent to remove any restrictive legends applicable to the Registrable Securities being Transferred and (b) cause its legal counsel to deliver the necessary legal opinions, if any, to the transfer agent in connection with the instruction under clause (a). In addition, Parent shall cooperate reasonably with, and take such customary actions as may reasonably be requested by the Holders, in connection with the aforementioned Transfers; provided, however, that Parent shall have no obligation to participate in any “road shows” or assist with the preparation of any offering memoranda or related documentation with respect to any Transfer of Registrable Securities in any transaction that does not constitute an Underwritten Offering.

Section 2.10 Indemnification and Contribution.

(a) Parent agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, its officers, managers, investment managers, directors, trustees, partners, investors, principals, equityholders, predecessors, successors, assigns, beneficiaries, Affiliates, agents and Representatives and each Person who controls such Holder (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against all losses, claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) (or actions in respect thereto) caused by, resulting from, arising out of or based upon (i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or similar document incident to any Registration, qualification, compliance or sale effected pursuant to this Article II or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (ii) any violation or alleged violation by Parent of the Securities Act or any other similar federal or state securities Laws, and will reimburse, as incurred, each such Holder, its officers, managers, investment managers, directors, trustees, partners, investors, principals, equityholders, predecessors, successors, assigns, beneficiaries, Affiliates, agents and Representatives and each Person who controls such Holder (within the meaning of the Securities Act) for any legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action; provided that, Parent will not be

H-18

liable in any such case to the extent that any such claim, damage, loss, liability or expense are caused by or arises out of or is based on any untrue statement or omission made in reliance and in conformity with written information furnished to Parent by or on behalf of such Holder expressly for use therein. Parent shall indemnify the Underwriters, their officers and directors and each Person who controls such Underwriters (within the meaning of the Securities Act) to the same extent as provided in the foregoing sentence with respect to the indemnification of each Holder.

(b) In connection with any Registration Statement in which a Holder of Registrable Securities is participating, such Holder shall furnish to Parent in writing such information and affidavits as Parent reasonably requests for use in connection with any such Registration Statement or Prospectus (the “Holder Information”) and, to the extent permitted by Law, such Holder shall indemnify and hold harmless Parent, its directors, officers, employees, equityholders, Affiliates and agents and each Person who controls Parent (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) (or actions in respect thereof) arising out of, resulting from or based on any untrue statement of material fact contained in the Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or similar document or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or any omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing by or on behalf of such Holder expressly for use therein; provided, however, that the obligation to indemnify shall be several, not joint and several, among such Holders of Registrable Securities, and the liability of each such Holder of Registrable Securities shall be in proportion to and limited to the net proceeds received by such Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. The Holders of Registrable Securities shall indemnify the Underwriters, their officers, directors and each Person who controls such Underwriters (within the meaning of the Securities Act) to the same extent as provided in the foregoing sentence with respect to indemnification of Parent.

(c) Any Person entitled to indemnification under this Section 2.10 shall (i) give prompt written notice, after such Person has actual knowledge thereof, to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which such Person seeks indemnification (provided that the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any Person’s right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not materially prejudiced the indemnifying party in the defense of any such claim or any such litigation) and (ii) permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party (not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and the indemnified party may participate in such defense at the indemnifying party’s expense if representation of such indemnified party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. An indemnifying party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, without the consent of each indemnified party, may only consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that (i) includes as a term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff therein to such indemnified party of an unconditional release from all liability with respect to such claim or litigation and (ii) does not include any recovery (including any statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of such indemnified party) other than monetary damages, and provided, that any sums payable in connection with such settlement are paid in full by the indemnifying party.

(d) The indemnification provided under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, manager, director, Representative or controlling Person of such indemnified party and shall survive the Transfer of securities.

(e) If the indemnification provided in this Section 2.10 from the indemnifying party is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the

H-19

indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, was made by, or relates to information supplied by, such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the indemnifying party’s and indemnified party’s relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action; provided, however, that the liability of any Holder under this Section 2.10(e) shall be limited to the amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder in such offering giving rise to such liability. The amount paid or payable by a Party as a result of the losses or other liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 2.10(a), 2.10(b) and 2.10(c), any legal or other fees, charges or expenses reasonably incurred by such Party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. The Parties agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 2.1(f) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation, which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 2.1(f). No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution pursuant to this Section 2.1(f) from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

Section 2.11 Other Registration Rights. Other than the registration rights set forth in the Original RRA and in the Subscription Agreements, Parent represents and warrants that no Person, other than a Holder of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Agreement, has any right to require Parent to register any securities of Parent for sale or to include such securities of Parent in any Registration Statement filed by Parent for the sale of securities for its own account or for the account of any other Person. Further, each of Parent and each Founder Holder represents and warrants that this Agreement supersedes any other registration rights agreement or agreement (including the Original RRA), other than the Subscription Agreements.

Section 2.12 Rule 144. With a view to making available to the Holders the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, Parent covenants that it will (a) make available at all times information necessary to comply with Rule 144, if such Rule is available with respect to resales of the Registrable Securities under the Securities Act, and (b) take such further action as the Holders may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable them to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (if available with respect to resales of the Registrable Securities), as such rule may be amended from time to time. Upon the request of any Holder, Parent will deliver to such Holder a written statement as to whether Parent has complied with such information requirements, and, if not, the specific reasons for non-compliance.

Section 2.13 Term. Article II shall terminate with respect to any Holder on the date that such Holder no longer holds any Registrable Securities. The provisions of Section 2.10 shall survive any such termination with respect to such Holder.

Section 2.14 Holder Information. Each Holder agrees, if requested in writing by Parent, to represent to Parent the total number of Registrable Securities held by such Holder in order for Parent to make determinations under this Agreement, including for purposes of Section 2.12. Other than the Dave Stockholders and the Founder Holders, a Party who does not hold Registrable Securities as of the Closing Date and who acquires Registrable Securities after the Closing Date will not be a “Holder” until such Party gives Parent a representation in writing of the number of Registrable Securities it holds.

Section 2.15 Termination of Original RRA. Upon the Closing, Parent and each Founder Holder hereby agree that the Original RRA and all of the respective rights and obligations of the parties thereunder are hereby terminated in their entirety and shall be of no further force or effect.

Section 2.16 Distributions.

(a) In the event that the Sponsor distributes all or any of its Registrable Securities to one or more Sponsor Members, the Sponsor Members shall be treated (together with Sponsor, to the extent the Sponsor then

H-20

directly holds any Registrable Securities) as the Sponsor under this Agreement; provided that such Sponsor Members (and, to the extent the Sponsor then directly holds any Registrable Securities, the Sponsor), taken as a whole, shall not be entitled to rights in excess of those conferred on the Sponsor, as if the Sponsor remained a single entity party to this Agreement.

(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, a distribution for purposes of this Section 2.16 may occur prior to the conclusion of any Lock-Up Period applicable to the Sponsor.

Section 2.17 Adjustments. If there are any changes in the shares of Common Stock as a result of stock split, stock dividend, combination or reclassification, or through merger, amalgamation, consolidation, recapitalization or other similar event, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the provisions of this Agreement, as may be required, so that the rights, privileges, duties and obligations under this Agreement shall continue with respect to the shares of Common Stock as so changed.

(a) This Agreement, and any action, suit, dispute, controversy or claim arising out of this Agreement, or the validity, interpretation, breach or termination of this Agreement, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal Laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any Law, rule, provision, procedure or principles (including any conflict of laws principles, Laws, rules, provisions or procedures) which would cause or permit the application of the Laws, rules, provisions, procedures or principles of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.

(b) Each of the Parties irrevocably consents to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware; provided, that if the Court of Chancery of Delaware declines jurisdiction or if subject matter jurisdiction over the matter that is the subject of the Legal Proceeding is vested exclusively in the U.S. federal courts, such Legal Proceeding shall be heard in, and each of the Parties irrevocably consents to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of, the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware; provided, further, that if the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware declines jurisdiction or if subject matter jurisdiction over the matter that is the subject of the Legal Proceeding is vested exclusively in the Delaware state courts, such Legal Proceeding shall be heard in, and each of the Parties irrevocably consents to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of, the Delaware state courts located in Wilmington, Delaware (together with the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware and the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, the “Chosen Courts”) in connection with any matter based upon or arising out of this Agreement. Each Party and any Person asserting rights as a third-party beneficiary may do so only if he, she or it hereby waives, and shall not assert as a defense in any legal dispute, that: (i) such Person is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the Chosen Courts for any reason; (ii) such Legal Proceeding may not be brought or is not maintainable in the Chosen Courts; (iii) such Person’s property is exempt or immune from execution; (iv) such Legal Proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum; or (v) the venue of such Legal Proceeding is improper. Each Party and any Person asserting rights as a third-party

H-26

beneficiary hereby agrees not to commence or prosecute any such action, claim, cause of action or suit other than before the Chosen Courts, nor to make any motion or take any other action seeking or intending to cause the transfer or removal of any such action, claim, cause of action or suit to any court other than the Chosen Courts, whether on the grounds of inconvenient forum or otherwise. Each Party hereby consents to service of process in any such proceeding in any manner permitted by laws of the State of Delaware, and further consents to service of process by nationally recognized overnight courier service guaranteeing overnight delivery, or by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, at its address specified pursuant to Section 4.8, and waives and covenants not to assert or plead any objection which they might otherwise have to such manner of service of process. Notwithstanding the foregoing in this Section 4.9, any Party may commence any action, claim, cause of action or suit in a court other than the Chosen Courts solely for the purpose of enforcing an order or judgment issued by the Chosen Courts.

(c) TO THE EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW WHICH CANNOT BE WAIVED, EACH OF THE PARTIES AND ANY PERSON ASSERTING RIGHTS AS A THIRD-PARTY BENEFICIARY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY ON ANY CLAIMS OR COUNTERCLAIMS ASSERTED IN ANY LEGAL DISPUTE RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING. IF THE SUBJECT MATTER OF ANY SUCH LEGAL DISPUTE IS ONE IN WHICH THE WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL IS PROHIBITED, NO PARTY NOR ANY PERSON ASSERTING RIGHTS AS A THIRD-PARTY BENEFICIARY SHALL ASSERT IN SUCH LEGAL DISPUTE A NONCOMPULSORY COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT. FURTHERMORE, NO PARTY NOR ANY PERSON ASSERTING RIGHTS AS A THIRD-PARTY BENEFICIARY SHALL SEEK TO CONSOLIDATE ANY SUCH LEGAL DISPUTE WITH A SEPARATE ACTION OR OTHER LEGAL PROCEEDING IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL CANNOT BE WAIVED.

Section 4.10 Other Remedies; Specific Performance. Except as otherwise provided herein, any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a Party will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such Party, and the exercise by a Party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy. The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that each Party shall be entitled to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in any court of the United States or any state having jurisdiction and immediate injunctive relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement, without the necessity of proving the inadequacy of money damages as a remedy and without bond or other security being required, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. Each of the Parties hereby acknowledges and agrees that it may be difficult to prove damages with reasonable certainty, that it may be difficult to procure suitable substitute performance, and that injunctive relief and/or specific performance will not cause an undue hardship to the Parties. Each of the Parties hereby further acknowledges that the existence of any other remedy contemplated by this Agreement does not diminish the availability of specific performance of the obligations hereunder or any other injunctive relief. Each Party hereby further agrees that in the event of any action by any other party for specific performance or injunctive relief, it will not assert that a remedy at law or other remedy would be adequate or that specific performance or injunctive relief in respect of such breach or violation should not be available on the grounds that money damages are adequate or any other grounds.

Section 4.11 Subsequent Acquisition of Shares. Each Stockholder agrees that any other Equity Securities of Parent which it shall hereafter acquire by means of a stock split, stock dividend, distribution, exercise of warrants or options, purchase or otherwise (other than in respect of the exercise of any Sponsor Warrants) shall be subject to the provisions of this Agreement to the same extent as if held on the date hereof.

Section 4.12 Headings and Captions; Rules of Construction. The headings, subheadings and captions contained in this Agreement are included for convenience of reference only, and in no way define, limit or describe the scope of this Agreement or the intent of any provision hereof. Each of the Parties agrees that it has been represented by independent counsel of its choice during the negotiation and execution of this Agreement

H-27

and each Party hereto and its counsel cooperated in the drafting and preparation of this Agreement and the documents referred to herein and, therefore, waive the application of any Law, regulation, holding or rule of construction providing that ambiguities in an agreement or other document will be construed against the Party drafting such agreement or document.

Section 4.13 Legends. Each of the Stockholders acknowledges that (i) no Transfer, hypothecation or assignment of any Registrable Securities or other Equity Securities of Parent Beneficially Owned by such Stockholder may be made except in compliance with applicable Securities Laws and (ii) Parent shall (x) place customary restrictive legends on the certificates or book entries representing the Registrable Securities subject to this Agreement and (y) remove such restrictive legends at the time the applicable Transfer and other restrictions contemplated thereby are no longer applicable to the Registrable Securities or other Equity Securities of Parent represented by such certificates or book entries.

This REPURCHASE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of June 7, 2021, by and among VPC Impact Acquisition Holdings III, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), Dave Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) and the Holders (as defined below). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to such terms in the Merger Agreement (as defined below).

WHEREAS, as set forth in that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of the date hereof (as amended, modified, supplemented or waived from time to time in accordance with its terms, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Parent, Bear Merger Company I Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct, wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent (“First Merger Sub”), Bear Merger Company II LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a direct, wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent (“Second Merger Sub”, together with First Merger Sub, the “Merger Subs”), and the Company, among other things, (i) First Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company (the “First Merger”), with the Company being the surviving corporation of the First Merger (the “Surviving Corporation”), and (ii) immediately following the First Merger, as part of the same overall transaction as the First Merger, the Surviving Corporation will merge with and into Second Merger Sub (the “Second Merger” and together with the First Merger, the “Mergers”), with Second Merger Sub being the surviving company of the Second Merger (the “Surviving Entity”), and as a result of which the Surviving Entity will become a wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent;

WHEREAS, the PIPE Investors have entered into Subscription Agreements with Parent, pursuant to which, among other things and on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in such Subscription Agreements, such PIPE Investors have agreed to purchase from Parent shares of Parent’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Parent Class A Common Stock”), for cash in an aggregate purchase price equal to the PIPE Investment Amount, with such purchases to be consummated immediately prior to the Closing under the Merger Agreement; and

WHEREAS, Parent has agreed to use cash in an amount equal to the Aggregate Repurchase Price to repurchase a number of shares, as further described below, of (x) Parent Class A Common Stock from the Selling Company Holders set forth on Schedule I hereto (collectively, the “Class A Common Holders”) and (y) Parent’s Class V common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Parent Class V Common Stock” and together with the Class A Common Stock, the “Parent Common Stock”) from the Selling Company Holders set forth on Schedule I hereto (collectively, the “Class V Common Holders” and together with the Class A Common Holders, the “Holders”), in each case, at a price of $10.00 per share, effective as of, and on, the Business Day following the Second Effective Time (the “Repurchase Closing Date”), in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

1. Repurchase.

(a) In accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, on the Repurchase Closing Date, Parent hereby agrees to purchase from each of the Holders, the number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the product of: (x) (i) the Aggregate Repurchase Price, divided by (ii) $10.00, multiplied by (y) such Holder’s Pro Rata Share, and rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares (such shares, the “Repurchase Shares”), in each case, at a price of $10.00 per Repurchase Share in cash (such repurchases of the Repurchase Shares, collectively, the “Repurchase”).

I-1

(b) For purposes of this Agreement, “Pro Rata Share” shall mean, with respect to each Holder, the percentage of the Aggregate Repurchase Price allocated to such Holder, as set forth next to such Holder’s name on Schedule I hereto.

2. Qualifications. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement:

(a) in no event will Parent be required to fund more than the Aggregate Repurchase Price, in each case, pursuant to Section 1 (it being understood that the Aggregate Purchase Price may be zero);

(b) nothing in this Agreement shall limit or modify the rights or obligations of any party under the Merger Agreement; and

(c) this Agreement will become effective upon, and only upon, the Closing, and if the Closing does not occur or the Merger Agreement is validly terminated for any reason, this Agreement shall automatically terminate without any action by the parties hereto and become null and void, and none of the parties shall have any obligations hereunder; provided that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Section 2(c) and Section 7 (including Section 7(m), but excluding Section 7(i)) shall be effective as of the date hereof, regardless of whether the Closing occurs or the Merger Agreement is validly terminated.

3. Closing.

(a) In accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, the closing of the transactions contemplated by Section 1 (the “Repurchase Closing”) shall take place on the Repurchase Closing Date. At the Repurchase Closing:

(i) Subject to the Aggregate Repurchase Price being greater than $0.00, Parent shall deliver (or cause to be delivered) to each Holder an amount in cash, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by such Holder in writing no later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Repurchase Closing Date, equal to (x) the number of Repurchase Shares to be purchased from such Holder, multiplied by (y) $10.00 (the “Applicable Repurchase Price”); and

(ii) each Holder shall deliver (or cause to be delivered):

(1)

the Repurchase Shares (along with any applicable instruments of transfer, including stock powers and letters of transmittal, as applicable), free and clear of any Lien of any kind or nature whatsoever, in book entry form to Parent or to a custodian designated by Parent prior to the Repurchase Closing;

(2)

a validly executed IRS Form W-9;

(3)

(ii) the Aggregate Repurchase Price is greater than $0.00; and

(iii) (x) with respect to Parent, all representations and warranties of the Holders contained in this Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the date hereof and as of the Repurchase Closing Date (except with respect to such representations and warranties which speak as to an earlier date, which

I-2

representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all material respects at and as of such date, except for changes after the date of this Agreement which are contemplated or expressly permitted by this Agreement or the Merger Agreement), except for, in each case, inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of the Holders which would not preclude the ability of the Holders to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, and consummation of the Repurchase Closing shall constitute a reaffirmation by the Holders of each of the representations, warranties and agreements of the Holders contained in this Agreement as of the Repurchase Closing Date; and (y) with respect to the Holders, all representations and warranties of Parent contained in this Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the date hereof and as of the Repurchase Closing Date (except with respect to such representations and warranties which speak as to an earlier date, which representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all material respects at and as of such date, except for changes after the date of this Agreement which are contemplated or expressly permitted by this Agreement or the Merger Agreement), except for, in each case, inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of Parent which would not preclude the ability of Parent to consummate the Repurchase, and consummation of the Repurchase Closing shall constitute a reaffirmation by Parent of each of the representations, warranties and agreements of Parent contained in this Agreement as of the Repurchase Closing Date.

(c) At the Repurchase Closing, the parties hereto shall execute and deliver such additional documents and take such additional actions as the parties reasonably may deem to be practical and necessary in order to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, on the terms and conditions set forth herein.

4. Withholding. Parent, the Company and, following the Second Effective Time, the Surviving Entity, and each of their respective agents, Affiliates and representatives, shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amount payable pursuant to this Agreement any amounts as may be required to be deducted and withheld from such amounts under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or any other applicable Law (as reasonably determined by Parent, the Company and, following the Second Effective Time, the Surviving Entity, respectively). To the extent that any amounts are so deducted and withheld, such deducted and withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made. In the event that withholding was required, to the extent that such amounts are not so deducted and withheld from any Person, such Person shall indemnify Parent, the Company and, following the Second Effective Time, the Surviving Entity, and each of their respective agents, Affiliates and representatives that was required to perform such withholding, for such amounts, together with any related losses.

5. Parent Representations and Warranties. Parent represents and warrants to the Holders as of the date hereof and as of the Repurchase Closing Date that:

(b) No Conflict. Subject to obtaining the Required Approvals, the execution and delivery by Parent of this Agreement and the consummation by Parent of the Repurchase will not (i) conflict with Parent’s Charter Documents, as in effect at the time of such execution and delivery and the Repurchase, respectively, (ii) violate or conflict with any provision of, or result in the breach of, or default under any applicable Law or governmental order applicable to Parent, or (iii) violate or conflict with any provision of, or result in the breach of, result in the loss of any right or benefit, or cause acceleration, or constitute (with or without due notice or lapse of time or both) a default (or give rise to any right of termination, cancellation or acceleration) under any contract, agreement or instrument (“Contract”) to which Parent is a party or by which Parent may be bound, or terminate

I-3

or result in the termination of any such Contract, except, in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii), to the extent that the occurrence of the foregoing would not have, or would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on the ability of Parent to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement.

(c) No Consents. Subject to obtaining the Required Approvals, and other than the filings and notices contemplated by Sections 7.3, 7.5, 7.6 and 7.7 of the Merger Agreement, no consent, waiver, approval or authorization of, or designation, declaration or filing with, or notification to, any Governmental Entity or other Person is required on the part of Parent with respect to Parent’s execution or delivery of this Agreement or the consummation of the Repurchase.

(d) No Other Representations or Warranties. Parent acknowledges that there have been no representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made to Parent by the Holders, expressly or by implication, other than those representations, warranties, covenants and agreements included in this Agreement or any other Transaction Agreement.

6. Holder Representations and Warranties. Each of the Holders, severally and not jointly, represents and warrants to Parent with respect to such Holder as of the date hereof and as of the Repurchase Closing Date that:

(a) Organization, Authorization and Enforceability.

(i) To the extent that such Holder is not an individual, such Holder is an entity duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the Laws of the jurisdiction in which it is formed, organized or incorporated (as applicable). Such Holder is not the subject of any bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation, reorganization or similar proceeding.

(ii) The execution and delivery by such Holder of this Agreement, the performance by such Holder of its obligations hereunder and the consummation by such Holder of the transactions contemplated hereby, have been duly authorized by all requisite action on the part of such Holder. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by such Holder, and (assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by, and enforceability of this Agreement against, Parent) this Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Holder, enforceable against such Holder in accordance with its terms, subject to the Remedies Exception.

(iii) If (x) such Holder is a natural person, (y) such Holder is married and (z) such Holder’s Repurchase Shares constitute community property or if such Holder otherwise requires spousal or other approval for any provisions of this Agreement to be legal, valid and binding, this Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by, and constitutes the legal, valid and binding agreement of such Holder’s spouse or such other Person, enforceable against such spouse or other Person in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by the Remedies Exception.

(b) No Conflict. The execution and delivery by such Holder of this Agreement, the performance by such Holder of its obligations hereunder and the consummation by such Holder of the transactions contemplated hereby will not (i) conflict with such Holder’s Governance Documents, as in effect at the time of such execution and delivery and the Repurchase, respectively, (ii) violate or conflict with any provision of, or result in the breach of, or default under any applicable Law or governmental order applicable to such Holder, or (iii) violate or conflict with any provision of, or result in the breach of, result in the loss of any right or benefit, or cause acceleration, or constitute (with or without due notice or lapse of time or both) a default (or give rise to any right of termination, cancellation or acceleration) under any Contract to which such Holder is a party or by which such Holder may be bound, or terminate or result in the termination of any such Contract, except, in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii), to the extent that the occurrence of the foregoing would not have, or would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on the ability of such Holder to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement.

I-4

(c) No Consents. No consent, waiver, approval or authorization of, or designation, declaration or filing with, or notification to, any Governmental Entity or other Person is required on the part of such Holder with respect to the execution and delivery by such Holder of this Agreement, the performance by such Holder of its obligations hereunder and the consummation by such Holder of the transactions contemplated hereby.

(d) Ownership of Repurchase Shares. Immediately prior to the Repurchase Closing, such Holder will own, beneficially and of record, and will have valid title to, and the right to transfer to Parent, all of the Repurchase Shares to be sold by such Holder to Parent pursuant to this Agreement, free and clear of any Lien of any kind or nature whatsoever. At the Repurchase Closing, upon delivery of the Repurchase Shares in book entry form to Parent, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, or to a custodian designated by Parent prior to the Repurchase Closing, and payment of the Repurchase Price for such Repurchase Shares, good and valid title to such Repurchase Shares, free and clear of all Liens, will pass to Parent. No Person has any written or oral Contract, agreement, arrangement or understanding or option for, or any right or privilege (whether by Law, preemption or Contract) that is or is capable of becoming a Contract, agreement, arrangement or understanding or option for, the purchase or acquisition from such Holder of any of the Repurchase Shares.

(e) Information. Such Holder acknowledges that it knows that Parent may have material, non-public information regarding Parent and its condition (financial and otherwise), results of operations, businesses, properties, plans and prospects (collectively, “Information”). Such Holder acknowledges that it has been offered and does not wish to receive any of this Information and that such Information might be material to such Holder’s decision to sell the Repurchase Shares or otherwise materially adverse to such Holder’s interests. Accordingly, such Holder acknowledges and agrees that Parent shall not have any obligation to disclose to such Holder any of such Information. Such Holder, either alone or together with its representatives, has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the Repurchase. Such Holder hereby waives and releases, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, any and all claims and causes of action it has or may have against Parent or its Affiliates, or its or their respective controlling persons, officers, directors, employees, Representatives and agents, based upon, relating to or arising out of the Repurchase and the other transactions contemplated hereby, including (without limitation) any claim or cause of action based upon, relating to or arising out of nondisclosure of the Information.

(f) No Other Representations or Warranties. Such Holder acknowledges that there have been no representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made to such Holder by Parent, or its officers or directors, expressly or by implication, other than those representations, warranties, covenants and agreements included in this Agreement or any other Transaction Agreement.

Any proceeding or action based upon, arising out of or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby must be brought in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, to the extent such Court does not have subject matter jurisdiction, the Superior Court of the State of Delaware), or, if it has or can acquire jurisdiction, in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware,and each of the parties irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of each such court in any such proceeding or action, waives any objection it may now or hereafter have to personal jurisdiction, venue or to convenience of forum, agrees that all claims in respect of the proceeding or action shall be heard and determined only in any such court, and agrees not to bring any proceeding or action arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in any other court.

(g) Waiver of Jury Trial.

I-7

(j) Amendment and Modification; Waiver.

No waiver by any party of any of the provisions hereof shall be effective unless explicitly set forth in writing and signed by the party so waiving. No waiver by any party shall operate or be construed as a waiver in respect of any failure, breach or default not expressly identified by such written waiver, whether of a similar or different character, and whether occurring before or after that waiver. No failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege arising from this Agreement shall operate or be construed as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.

(k) Enforcement. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage could occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to specific enforcement of the terms and provisions of this Agreement, in addition to any other remedy to which any party is entitled at law or in equity. In the event that any action shall be brought in equity to enforce the provisions of this Agreement, no party shall allege, and each party hereby waives the defense, that there is an adequate remedy at law, and each party agrees to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection therewith.

(l) Non-Recourse. This Agreement may only be enforced against, and any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby may only be brought against, the entities that are expressly named as parties hereto and any express guarantor of any such party’s obligations hereunder and then only with respect to the specific obligations set forth herein with respect to such party; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not relieve any party for liability with respect to fraud.

(m) No Claims Against Trust Account. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Section 7.11 (No Claim Against Trust Account) of the Merger Agreement shall be deemed incorporated into this Agreement by reference, mutatis mutandis. Each Holder hereby agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions set forth in Section 7.11 (No Claim Against Trust Account) of the Merger Agreement, as incorporated herein by reference, fully and to the same extent as if (i) such Holder was a party and signatory to such provision of the Merger Agreement and (ii) all references to the “Company” in such Section 7.11 (No Claim Against Trust Account) of the Merger Agreement were deemed references to such Holder.

(n) Termination. Other than this Section 7 (including Section 7(m), but excluding Section 7(i)) (which Section 7 (including Section 7(m), but excluding Section 7(i)) shall survive the Repurchase Closing or the earlier termination of this Agreement or the Merger Agreement), this Agreement shall terminate and be void and of no further force and effect and all rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall terminate without any further liability on the part of any party in respect thereof, upon the earliest to occur of (i) such date and time as the Merger Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, (ii) upon the mutual written agreement of each of the parties hereto to terminate this Agreement, or (iii) if any of the conditions to the Repurchase Closing set forth in Section 3(b) of this Agreement are not satisfied or waived, or are not capable of being satisfied, on or prior to the Repurchase Closing and, as a result thereof, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will not be and are not consummated at the Repurchase Closing; provided, that nothing herein shall relieve any party from liability for any willful breach hereof prior to the time of termination.

PART II. INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

Item 20. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

The Registrant’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that its directors, officers, employees and agents are entitled to be indemnified by the Registrant to the fullest extent permitted by Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”). Section 145 of the DGCL concerning indemnification of officers, directors, employees and agents is set forth below.

Section 145. Indemnification of officers, directors, employees and agents; insurance.

(a)

A corporation shall have power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the person’s conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that the person’s conduct was unlawful.

(b)

A corporation shall have power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.

(c)

(1) To the extent that a present or former director or officer of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in subsections (a) and (b) of this section, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such person shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith. For indemnification with respect to any act or omission occurring after December 31, 2020, references to “officer” for purposes of this paragraphs (c)(1) and (2) of this section shall mean only a person who at the time of such act or omission is deemed to have consented to service by the delivery of process to the registered agent of the corporation pursuant to § 3114(b) of Title 10 (for purposes of this sentence only, treating residents of this State as if they were nonresidents to apply § 3114(b) of Title 10 to this sentence).

(2) The corporation may indemnify any other person who is not a present or former director or officer of the corporation against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person to the extent he or she has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action,

II-1

suit or proceeding referred to in subsections (a) and (b) of this section, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein.

(d)

Any indemnification under subsections (a) and (b) of this section (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the present or former director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances because the person has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in subsections (a) and (b) of this section. Such determination shall be made, with respect to a person who is a director or officer at the time of such determination,

(1)

by a majority vote of the directors who are not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, even though less than a quorum, or

(2)

by a committee of such directors designated by majority vote of such directors, even though less than a quorum, or

(3)

if there are no such directors, or if such directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or

(4)

by the stockholders.

(e)

Expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by an officer or director in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation as authorized in this section. Such expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by former officers and directors or other employees and agents may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the corporation deems appropriate.

(f)

The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, the other subsections of this section shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in such person’s official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office. A right to indemnification or to advancement of expenses arising under a provision of the certificate of incorporation or a bylaw shall not be eliminated or impaired by an amendment to such provision after the occurrence of the act or omission that is the subject of the civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding for which indemnification or advancement of expenses is sought, unless the provision in effect at the time of such act or omission explicitly authorizes such elimination or impairment after such action or omission has occurred.

(g)

A corporation shall have power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of such person’s status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under this section.

(i)

For purposes of this section, references to “the corporation” shall include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers, and employees or agents, so that any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under this section with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as such person would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued.

II-2

(j)

For purposes of this section, references to “other enterprises” shall include employee benefit plans; references to “fines” shall include any excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to any employee benefit plan; and references to “serving at the request of the corporation” shall include any service as a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation which imposes duties on, or involves services by, such director, officer, employee or agent with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants or beneficiaries; and a person who acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a manner “not opposed to the best interests of the corporation” as referred to in this section.

(k)

The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this section shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

(l)

The Court of Chancery is hereby vested with exclusive jurisdiction to hear and determine all actions for advancement of expenses or indemnification brought under this section or under any by law, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise. The Court of Chancery may summarily determine a corporation’s obligation to advance expenses (including attorneys’ fees).

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to the Registrant’s directors, officers, and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person in a successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to the court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

In accordance with Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL, the Registrant’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, provides that no director shall be personally liable to the Registrant or any of its stockholders for monetary damages resulting from breaches of their fiduciary duty as directors, except to the extent such limitation on or exemption from liability is not permitted under the DGCL. The effect of this provision on the Registrant’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation is to eliminate the Registrant’s rights and those of the stockholders (through stockholders’ derivative suits on the Registrant’s behalf) to recover monetary damages against a director for breach of the fiduciary duty of care as a director, including breaches resulting from negligent or grossly negligent behavior, except, as restricted by Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL. However, this provision does not limit or eliminate the Registrant’s rights or the rights of any stockholder to seek non-monetary relief, such as an injunction or rescission, in the event of a breach of a director’s duty of care.

If the DGCL is amended to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the liability of directors, then, in accordance with the Registrant’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, the liability of the Registrant’s directors to it or its stockholders will be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL, as so amended. Any repeal or amendment of provisions of the Registrant’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation limiting or eliminating the liability of directors, whether by its stockholders or by changes in law, or the adoption of any other provisions inconsistent therewith, will (unless otherwise required by law) be prospective only, except to the extent such amendment or change in law permits the Registrant to further limit or eliminate the liability of directors on a retroactive basis.

The Registrant’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that it will, to the fullest extent authorized or permitted by applicable law, indemnify its current and former officers and directors, as well as those persons who, while directors or officers of its corporation, are or were serving as directors, officers,

II-3

employees or agents of another entity, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan, in connection with any threatened, pending or completed proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, against all expense, liability and loss (including, without limitation, attorney’s fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes and penalties and amounts paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by any such person in connection with any such proceeding.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a person eligible for indemnification pursuant to the Registrant’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation will be indemnified by the Registrant in connection with a proceeding initiated by such person only if such proceeding was authorized by the Registrant’s board of directors, except for proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification.

The right to indemnification which is conferred by the Registrant’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation is a contract right that includes the right to be paid by the Registrant the expenses incurred in defending or otherwise participating in any proceeding referenced above in advance of its final disposition, provided, however, that if the DGCL requires, an advancement of expenses incurred by the Registrant’s officer or director (solely in the capacity as an officer or director of its corporation) will be made only upon delivery to the Registrant of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such officer or director, to repay all amounts so advanced if it is ultimately determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified for such expenses under the Registrant’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation or otherwise.

The rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses will not be deemed exclusive of any other rights which any person covered by the Registrant’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation may have or hereafter acquire under law, the Registrant’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, the Registrant’s bylaws, an agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise.

Any repeal or amendment of provisions of the Registrant’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation affecting indemnification rights, whether by the Registrant’s stockholders or by changes in law, or the adoption of any other provisions inconsistent therewith, will (unless otherwise required by law) be prospective only, except to the extent such amendment or change in law permits the Registrant to provide broader indemnification rights on a retroactive basis, and will not in any way diminish or adversely affect any right or protection existing at the time of such repeal or amendment or adoption of such inconsistent provision with respect to any act or omission occurring prior to such repeal or amendment or adoption of such inconsistent provision. The Registrant’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation permits it, to the extent and in the manner authorized or permitted by law, to indemnify and to advance expenses to persons other that those specifically covered by the Registrant’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation.

The Registrant’s bylaws include provisions relating to the advancement of expenses and indemnification rights consistent with those set forth in the Registrant’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation. In addition, the Registrant’s bylaws provide for a right of indemnity to bring a suit in the event a claim for indemnification or advancement of expenses is not paid in full by the Registrant within a specified period of time. The Registrant’s bylaws also permit it to purchase and maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect the Registrant and/or any director, officer, employee or agent of the Registrant’s corporation or another entity, trust or other enterprise against any expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Registrant would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the DGCL.

Any repeal or amendment of provisions of the Registrant’s bylaws affecting indemnification rights, whether by the Registrant’s board of directors, stockholders or by changes in applicable law, or the adoption of any other provisions inconsistent therewith, will (unless otherwise required by law) be prospective only, except to the extent such amendment or change in law permits the Registrant to provide broader indemnification rights on a retroactive basis, and will not in any way diminish or adversely affect any right or protection existing thereunder with respect to any act or omission occurring prior to such repeal or amendment or adoption of such inconsistent provision.

II-4

The Registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with each of its officers and directors. These agreements require the Registrant to indemnify these individuals to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law against liabilities that may arise by reason of their service to the Registrant, and to advance expenses incurred as a result of any proceeding against them as to which they could be indemnified.

reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to such information in this Registration Statement.

(2)

That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3)

To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(4)

That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

(5)

That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this Registration Statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

(i)

Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

(ii)

Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

(iii)

The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and (iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

(6)

That, prior to any public reoffering of the securities registered hereunder through use of a prospectus which is a part of this Registration Statement, by any person or party who is deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of Rule 145(c), the Registrant undertakes that such reoffering prospectus will contain the information called for by the applicable registration form with respect to reofferings by persons who may be deemed underwriters, in addition to the information called for by the other items of the applicable form.

(7)

That every prospectus: (i) that is filed pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph, or (ii) that purports to meet the requirements of Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933 and is used in connection with an offering of securities subject to Rule 415, will be filed as a part of an amendment to the registration statement and will not be used until such amendment is effective, and that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

II-7

(8)

To respond to requests for information that is incorporated by reference into the prospectus pursuant to Item 4, 10(b), 11 or 13 of this Form S-4, within one business day of receipt of such request, and to send the incorporated documents by first class mail or other equally prompt means. This includes information contained in documents filed subsequent to the effective date of this Registration Statement through the date of responding to the request.

(9)

To supply by means of a post-effective amendment all information concerning this transaction, and the company being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and included in this Registration Statement when it became effective.

(10)

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
