Preferred Stock. Any Our Restated Certificate provides that shares of Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series. Our board of directors 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 restrictions thereof, applicable to the shares of each series. Our board of directors 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 our board of directors to issue Preferred Stock without stockholder approval could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change of control or the removal of our management. Public Warrants Each whole Public Warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase one share of our Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as discussed below, at any time commencing on January 20, 2021. The Public Warrants will expire on December 21, 2025, at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. We will not be obligated to deliver any shares of Common Stock pursuant to the exercise of a Public Warrant and will have no obligation to settle such warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the shares of Common Stock underlying the Public Warrants is then effective and a prospectus relating thereto is current, subject to our satisfying our obligations described below with respect to registration. No Public Warrant will be exercisable and we will not be obligated to issue shares of Common Stock upon exercise of a Public Warrant unless Common Stock issuable upon such Public 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 Public Warrants. In the event that the conditions in the two immediately preceding sentences are not satisfied with respect to a Public Warrant, the holder of such Public Warrant will not be entitled to exercise such Public Warrant and such Public Warrant may have no value and expire worthless. In no event will we be required to net cash settle any Public Warrant. In the event that a registration statement is not effective for the exercised Public Warrants, the purchaser of a unit containing such Public Warrant will have paid the full purchase price for the unit solely for the share of Common Stock underlying such unit. We have filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a registration statement for the registration under the Securities Act of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants and will use our best efforts to maintain a current prospectus relating to the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants, until the expiration of the Public Warrants in accordance with the provisions of the warrant agreement (the “Warrant Agreement”), which is filed as an exhibit to our Annual Report on Form 10-K and is incorporated by reference herein. During any period when we will have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, warrantholders may exercise Public 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 Public Warrants on a cashless basis. We may call the Public Warrants for redemption: • in whole and not in part; • at a price of $0.01 per Public Warrant; • upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption to each warrantholder; and • if, and only if, the reported last reported sale price of the Common Stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending three business days before we send the notice of redemption to the warrantholders. If and when the Public Warrants become redeemable by us, we may not exercise our redemption right if the issuance of shares of Class A-1 Preferred Common Stock shall be effected at upon exercise of the Public Warrants is not exempt from registration or qualification under applicable state blue sky laws or we are unable to effect such registration or qualification. We will use our best efforts to register or qualify such shares of Common Stock under the blue sky laws of the state of residence in those states in which the Public Warrants were offered by us in this offering. We have established the last of the redemption criteria 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 satisfied and we issue a notice of redemption of the Public Warrants, each warrantholder will be entitled to exercise its Public Warrants prior to the scheduled redemption date. However, the price of the Common Stock may fall below the $10.00 per share plus18.00 redemption trigger price (as adjusted for stock splits, in each casestock dividends, an amount equal reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) as well as the $11.50 warrant exercise price after the redemption notice is issued. If we call the Public Warrants for redemption as described above, our management will have the option to require any holder that wishes to exercise its warrant to do so on a “cashless basis.” In determining whether to require all dividends (whether or not earned or declared) accrued holders to exercise their Public Warrants on a “cashless basis,” our management will consider, among other factors, our cash position, the number of Public Warrants that are outstanding and unpaid the dilutive effect on such share our stockholders of Class A-1 Preferred Stock to issuing the date fixed for redemption. Notice of any proposed redemption maximum number of shares of Class A-1 Preferred Common Stock shall be given issuable upon the exercise of our Public Warrants. If our management takes advantage of this option, all holders of Public Warrants would pay the exercise price by surrendering their Public Warrants for that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the Public Warrants, multiplied by the Corporation difference between the exercise price of the Public Warrants and the “fair market value” (defined below) by mailing a copy (y) the fair market value. The “fair market value” shall mean the average last reported sale price of such notice no less than 20 the Common Stock for the 10 trading days nor more than 60 days ending on the third trading day prior to the date fixed for such on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of record the Public Warrants. If our management takes advantage of this option, the notice of redemption will contain the information necessary to calculate the number of shares of Common Stock to be received upon exercise of the Public Warrants, including the “fair market value” in such case. Requiring a cashless exercise in this manner will reduce the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued and thereby lessen the dilutive effect of a warrant redemption. We believe this feature is an attractive option to us if we do not need the cash from the exercise of the Public Warrants after the Business Combination. A holder of a Public 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 Public Warrants, 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-1 Preferred Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to be redeemed at their respective addresses appearing such exercise. If the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is increased by a stock dividend payable in shares of Common Stock, or by a split-up of shares of Common Stock or other similar event, then, on the books effective date of the Corporation. Said notice shall specify the shares called for redemptionsuch stock dividend, split-up or similar event, the redemption price and the place at which and date number of shares of Common Stock issuable on which the shares called for redemption will, upon presentation and surrender exercise of the certificates of stock evidencing each Public Warrant will be increased in proportion to such shares, be redeemed and the redemption price therefor paid. In the case of the redemption of less than all increase in the outstanding shares of Class A-1 Preferred Common Stock, such redemption shall . A rights offering to holders of Common Stock entitling holders to purchase shares of Common Stock at a price less than the fair market value will be deemed a stock dividend of full shares selected by lot among all then outstanding Class A-1 Preferred Stock in such manner as may be prescribed by the Board of Directors. From and after the date fixed in any such notice as the date of redemption a number of shares of Class A-1 Preferred Stock, unless default shall be made by Common Stock equal to the Corporation in providing monies at product of (i) the time and place specified for the payment number of the redemption price pursuant to such notice, all dividends on the Class A-1 Preferred Stock thereby called for redemption shall cease to accrue and all rights of the holders thereof as stockholders of the Corporation, except the right to receive the redemption price, shall cease and terminate. All shares of Class A-1 Preferred Common Stock which shall at actually sold in such rights offering (or issuable under any time have been redeemed shall, after other equity securities sold in such redemption, have the status of authorized but unissued shares of Preferred rights offering that are convertible into or exercisable for Common Stock, without designation as to series until such shares are once more designated as part of a particular series by the Board of Directors or an Authorized Board Committee.) and

Limitation on Directors’ Liability and Renunciation of Business Opportunity Delaware law authorizes Delaware corporations to limit or eliminate the personal liability of their directors to them and their stockholders for monetary damages for breach of a director’s fiduciary duty of care. The duty of care requires that, when acting on behalf of the corporation, directors must exercise an informed business judgment based on all material information reasonably available to them. Absent the limitations Delaware law authorizes, directors of Delaware corporations are accountable to those corporations and their stockholders for monetary damages for conduct constituting gross negligence in the exercise of their duty of care. Delaware law enables Delaware corporations to limit available relief to equitable remedies such as injunction or rescission.

Future offerings of debt or senior equity securities may adversely affect the market price of the Series A Preferred Stock. If we decide to issue debt or senior equity securities in the future, it is possible that these securities will be governed by an indenture or other instruments containing covenants restricting our operating flexibility. Additionally, any convertible or exchangeable securities that we issue in the future may have rights, preferences and privileges more favorable than those of the Series A Preferred Stock and may result in dilution to owners of the Series A Preferred Stock. We and, indirectly, our shareholders, will bear the cost of issuing and servicing such securities. Because our decision to issue debt or equity securities in any future offering will depend on market conditions and other factors beyond our control, we cannot predict or estimate the amount, timing or nature of our future offerings. The holders of the Series A Preferred Stock will bear the risk of our future offerings, which may reduce the market price of the Series A Preferred Stock and will dilute the value of their holdings in us. We may not be able to pay cash dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock if we have insufficient cash to make dividend payments. Our ability to pay cash dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock requires us to have either net profits or positive net assets (total assets less total liabilities) over our capital, to be able to pay our debts as they become due in the usual course of business. However, the redemption price Company reserves the right to pay dividends in shares of Company restricted common stock. Our ability to pay dividends may be impaired if any of the risks described in this prospectus, including the documents incorporated by reference herein, were to occur. Also, payment of our dividends depends upon our financial condition, and other factors as our board of directors may deem relevant from time to time. We cannot assure you that our businesses will generate sufficient cash flow from operations or that future borrowings will be available to us in an amount sufficient to enable us to make distributions on our common stock, if any, and preferred stock, including the Series A Preferred Stock to pay our indebtedness or to fund our other liquidity needs. The market for our Series A Preferred Stock may not provide investors with adequate liquidity.

However, the trading market for the Series A Preferred Stock may not be maintained and may not provide investors with adequate liquidity.

We cannot predict the extent to which investor interest in our Company will maintain the trading market in our Series A Preferred Stock, or how liquid that market will be. If an active market is not maintained, investors may have difficulty selling shares of our Series A Preferred Stock We may issue additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock and date additional series of preferred stock that rank on which parity with or above the Series A Preferred Stock as to dividend rights, rights upon liquidation or voting rights. We are allowed to issue additional shares called for redemption willof Series A Preferred Stock and additional series of preferred stock that would rank equal to the Series A Preferred Stock as to dividend payments and rights upon our liquidation, upon presentation and surrender dissolution or winding up of our affairs pursuant to our certificate of incorporation, including the certificate of designations relating to the Series A Preferred Stock without any vote of the certificates of stock evidencing such shares, be redeemed and the redemption price therefor paid.

Upon the affirmative vote of less than all the holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding shares of Class A-1 Series A Preferred Stock (voting together as a class with all other series of parity preferred stock we may issue upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable), we are allowed to issue additional series of preferred stock that would rank above the Series A Preferred Stock as to dividend payments and rights upon our liquidation, dissolution or the winding up of our affairs pursuant to our certificate of incorporation and the certificate of designations relating to the Series A Preferred Stock, such redemption shall be . The issuance of full additional shares selected by lot among all then outstanding Class A-1 of Series A Preferred Stock and additional series of preferred stock could have the effect of reducing the amounts available to the Series A Preferred Stock upon our liquidation or dissolution or the winding up of our affairs. It also may reduce dividend payments on the Series A Preferred Stock if we do not have sufficient funds to pay dividends on all Series A Preferred Stock outstanding and other classes or series of stock with equal priority with respect to dividends. Also, although holders of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to limited voting rights, as described in such manner this prospectus under “Description of the Series A Preferred Stock—Voting Rights,” with respect to the circumstances under which the holders of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to vote, the Series A Preferred Stock votes separately as a class along with all other series of our preferred stock that we may issue upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable.

All shares of Class A-1 Series A Preferred Stock which shall at any time have been redeemed shallto expect a higher dividend yield (and higher interest rates would likely increase our borrowing costs and potentially decrease funds available for dividend payments). Thus, after such redemption, have higher market interest rates could cause the status market price of authorized but unissued shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, without designation as Stock to series until such shares are once more designated as part of a particular series by the Board of Directors or an Authorized Board Committeematerially decrease.

We have no current plans to issue any shares of Preferred Stockpreferred stock. Anti-Takeover Effects of Our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation and Our Amended and Restated Bylaws Provisions of our amended and restated articles of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws may delay or discourage transactions involving an actual or potential change of control or change in our management, without designation including transactions in which shareholders might otherwise receive a premium for their shares, or transactions that our shareholders might otherwise deem to be in their best interests. Therefore, these provisions could adversely affect the price of our common stock. Among other things, our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws: • divide our board of directors into three classes with staggered three-year terms; • provide that a special meeting of shareholders may be called only by a majority of our board of directors, the chairman of our board of directors, the chief executive officer or the president; • establish advance notice procedures with respect to shareholder proposals to be brought before a shareholder meeting and the nomination of candidates for election as directors, other than nominations made by or at the direction of the board of directors or a committee of the board of director; • provide that shareholders may only act at a duly organized meeting; and • provide that members of our board of directors may be removed from office by our shareholders only for cause by the affirmative vote of 75% of the total voting power of all shares entitled to series vote generally in the election of directors. Our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation also provide that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, a state or federal court located within the County of Philadelphia in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania will be the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of our company, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any of our directors, officers or other employees or our shareholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the PBCL, or (iv) any action asserting a claim peculiar to the relationships among or between our company and our officers, directors and shareholders. The exclusive forum provision described above is intended to apply to the fullest extent permitted by law, including to actions arising under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act. However, the enforceability of exclusive forum provisions in the governing documents of other companies has been challenged in legal proceedings, and it is possible that a court could find our forum selection provision to be inapplicable or unenforceable with respect to actions arising under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act. Even if it is accepted that our exclusive forum provision applies to actions arising under the Securities Act, shareholders will not be deemed to have waived our compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. Anti-Takeover Provisions under Pennsylvania Law Provisions of the PBCL applicable to us provide, among other things, that: • we may not engage in a business combination with an “interested shareholder,” generally defined as a holder of 20% of a corporation’s voting stock, during the five-year period after the interested shareholder became such except under certain specified circumstances; • holders of our common stock may object to a “control transaction” involving us (a control transaction is defined as the acquisition by a person or group of persons acting in concert of at least 20% of the outstanding voting stock of a corporation), and demand that they be paid a cash payment for the “fair value” of their shares from the “controlling person or group”; • holders of “control shares” will not be entitled to voting rights with respect to any shares in excess of specified thresholds, including 20% voting control, until the voting rights associated with such shares are once more designated as part restored by the affirmative vote of a particular series majority of disinterested shares and the outstanding voting shares of the Company; and • any “profit,” as defined, realized by any person or group who is or was a “controlling person or group” with respect to us from the Board disposition of Directors any equity securities of within 18 months after the person or group became a “controlling person or group” shall belong to and be recoverable by us. Pennsylvania-chartered corporations may exempt themselves from these and other anti-takeover provisions. Our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation do not provide for exemption from the applicability of these or other anti-takeover provisions in the PBCL. The provisions noted above may have the effect of discouraging a future takeover attempt that is not approved by our board of directors but which individual shareholders may consider to be in their best interests or in which shareholders may receive a substantial premium for their shares over the then current market price. As a result, shareholders who might wish to participate in such a transaction may not have an Authorized Board Committeeopportunity to do so. The provisions may make the removal of our board of directors or management more difficult. Furthermore, such provisions could result in our company being deemed less attractive to a potential acquiror and/or could result in our shareholders receiving a lesser amount of consideration for their shares of our common stock than otherwise could have been available either in the market generally and/or in a takeover.

Anti-Takeover Effects of Delaware Law, Our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws and the Outstanding Notes Some provisions of the CorporationDelaware General Corporation Law, except which we refer to as the right “DGCL,” and our certificate of incorporation, bylaws and outstanding notes, could make the following more difficult: • acquisition of us by means of a tender offer; • acquisition of us by means of a proxy contest or otherwise; or • removal of our incumbent officers and directors.
