NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 i 

Note 1 — Organization and Business Operations

Organization and General

Crown Proptech Acquisitions (the “Company” or “Crown”) was incorporated in the Cayman Islands on September 24, 2020. The Company was formed for the purpose of entering into a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with  i one or more businesses (a “business combination”). The Company is not limited to a particular industry or geographic region for purposes of consummating a business combination. The Company is an early stage and emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.

As of June 30, 2022, the Company had not yet commenced any operations. All activity through June 30, 2022, relates to the Company’s formation and the Initial Public Offering (“IPO”) described below, and since the closing of the IPO, the search for a prospective initial Business Combination. 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 IPO.

Financing

The registration statement for the Company’s IPO was declared effective on February 9, 2021 (the “Effective Date”). On February 11, 2021, the Company consummated the IPO of  i 27,600,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the Class A ordinary shares included in the Units being offered, the “public share”), at $ i 10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $ i 276,000,000, which is discussed in Note 3.

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company consummated the sale of  i 5,013,333 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrant”), at a price of $ i 1.50 per Private Placement Warrant, which is discussed in Note 4.

Trust Account

Following the closing of the IPO on February 11, 2021, an amount of $ i 276,000,000 from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants was placed in a trust account (“Trust Account”) which is invested in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of 185 days or less or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund meeting the conditions of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the trust account that may be released to the Company to pay its tax obligations, the proceeds from the IPO and the sale of the private placement units will not be released from the trust account until the earliest of (a) the completion of the Company’s initial business combination, (b) the redemption of any public shares properly submitted in connection with a shareholder vote to amend the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, and (c) the redemption of the Company’s public shares if the Company is unable to complete the initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of the IPO, subject to applicable law. The proceeds deposited in the trust account could become subject to the claims of the Company’s creditors, if any, which could have priority over the claims of the Company’s public shareholders.

Termination of the Proposed Brivo Transaction

On November 10, 2021, the Company entered into a business combination agreement (as it may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “BCA” or the “Business Combination Agreement”), by and among (i) the Company, (ii) Crown PropTech Merger Sub I Corp, a Delaware corporation and wholly owned direct subsidiary of Crown (“Merger Sub I”), (iii) Crown PropTech Merger Sub II LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of Crown (“Merger Sub II”, and together with Merger Sub I the “Merger Subs”) and (iv) Brivo, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Brivo” and all the parties to the Business Combination Agreement, the “Parties to the Business Combination Agreement”) (the “Business Combination”). The obligation of Brivo to consummate the Business Combination was subject to certain closing conditions, including, but not limited to, the aggregate cash proceeds from Crown’s trust account, together with the proceeds from the sale of the PIPE Notes (as defined below), equaling no less than $ i 75 million (after deducting any amounts paid to Crown shareholders that exercise their redemption rights in connection with the Business Combination) (the “BCA Minimum Cash Condition”).

On May 12, 2022 the Company and the other parties to the Business Combination Agreement entered into a First Amendment (the “First Amendment”) to the Business Combination Agreement. The First Amendment provides for an amendment to the definition of the “Outside Date” in the Business Combination Agreement and changes the date listed therein from July 10, 2022 to August 9, 2022 or such later date as may be mutually agreed by Crown and Brivo.

In connection with the signing of the Business Combination Agreement, the Company entered into subscription agreements (the “Subscription Agreements”) with certain investors (the “PIPE Investors”), pursuant to which the PIPE Investors agreed to subscribe for and, in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination, purchase convertible notes (the “PIPE Notes”), with an aggregate principal amount of $ i 75 million, on the terms and subject to the conditions therein. Pursuant to the terms of the Subscription Agreements, each PIPE Investor had the right to terminate its Subscription Agreement after July 9, 2022, if the closing of the Business Combination had not occurred as of such date or at any date and time as the Business Combination Agreement is validly terminated. In addition, the obligation of the PIPE Investors to consummate the purchase of the PIPE Notes was subject to certain other closing conditions, including Crown having at closing at least $ i 95 million of unrestricted cash and, to the extent a revolving credit facility existed at closing, the unrestricted cash together with the undrawn availability under that facility being at least $ i 115 million (the “SA Minimum Cash Condition” and, together with the BCA Minimum Cash Condition, the “Minimum Cash Conditions”).

Golub Capital LLC and its affiliates (such entity, together with its affiliates, “Golub”), a PIPE Investor, subscribed for PIPE Notes with an aggregate principal amount of $ i 68 million. On July 11, 2022, the Company received a notice of election from Golub, notifying the Company that Golub has elected to terminate Golub’s Subscription Agreement because the Business Combination was not consummated by July 9, 2022.

The Business Combination Agreement may be terminated under certain customary and limited circumstances prior to the closing of the Business Combination, including, but not limited to, subject to certain limited exceptions, by either Crown or Brivo if the Business Combination is not consummated by August 9, 2022. On August 10, 2022 the Company received a notice of election from Brivo, notifying the Company that Brivo has elected to terminate the Business Combination. As a result of such election the Business Combination was immediately terminated. In addition, the rest of the Subscription Agreements were automatically terminated. The Company believes that prior to termination Brivo breached the Business Combination Agreement, and that EMBUIA LLC, an affiliate of Dean M. Drako, the Chairman of the board of directors of Brivo, breached the Stockholder Support Agreement (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement), in each case, including breaching their respective obligations not to take certain actions in connection with a Company Acquisition Proposal (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement). The Company intends to vigorously pursue its remedies.

Table of Contents

The foregoing description of the Business Combination Agreement, the Subscription Agreements is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Business Combination Agreement and the Subscription Agreements, copies of which are included as Exhibits 2.1, 10.2, respectively, to the current report on Form 8-Ks filed with the SEC on November 16, 2021 and Exhibit 2.1 o the current report on Form 8-Ks filed with the SEC on May 13, 2022.

Initial Business Combination

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the IPO, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be generally applied toward consummating a business combination.

The Company’s business combination must be with one or more target businesses that together have a fair market value equal to at least  i 80% of the balance in the Trust Account (as defined below) (net of taxes payable) at the time of the signing an agreement to enter into a business combination. However, the Company will only complete a business combination if the post-business combination company owns or acquires  i 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect a business combination.

The Company will provide its public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their public shares upon the completion of the initial business combination either (i) in connection with a stockholder meeting called to approve the initial business combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek stockholder approval of a proposed initial business combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion. The stockholders will be entitled to redeem their shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then on deposit in the Trust Account (initially $ i 10.00 per share, plus any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its tax obligations).

The Class A ordinary shares subject to redemption is recorded at a redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the IPO, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” In such case, the Company will proceed with a business combination if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $ i 5,000,001 either immediately prior to or upon consummation of a business combination and, if the Company seeks stockholder approval, a majority of the issued and outstanding shares voted are voted in favor of the business combination.

The Company will have  i 24 months from the closing of the IPO (with the ability to extend with stockholder approval) to consummate a business combination (the “Combination Period”). However, if the Company is unable to complete a business combination within the Combination Period, the Company will redeem  i 100% of the outstanding public shares for a pro rata portion of the funds held in the Trust Account, 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, divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, subject to applicable law and as further described in the registration statement, and then seek to dissolve and liquidate.

The Company’s sponsor, officers and directors have agreed to (i) waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares, private placement shares and public shares in connection with the completion of the initial business combination, (ii) waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares and public shares in connection with a stockholder vote to approve an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, and (iii) waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to their Founder Shares and private placement shares if the Company fails to complete the initial business combination within the Combination Period.

Table of Contents

The Company’s sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or similar agreement or business combination agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the trust account to below the lesser of (i) $ 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 $ i 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 the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. However, the Company has not asked its sponsor to reserve for such indemnification obligations, nor has the Company independently verified whether its sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and believe that the Company’s sponsor’s only assets are securities of the Company. Therefore, the Company cannot assure that its sponsor would be able to satisfy those obligations.

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Going Concern

As of June 30, 2022, the Company had cash outside the Trust Account of $ i 4,578 available for working capital needs and working capital deficit of $ i 7,616,812. All remaining cash held in the Trust Account is generally unavailable for the Company’s use, prior to an initial business combination, and is restricted for use either in a Business Combination or to redeem Class A ordinary shares. As of June 30, 2022, none of the amount in the Trust Account was available to be withdrawn as described above.

Through June 30, 2022, the Company’s liquidity needs were satisfied through receipt of $ i 25,000 from the sale of the Founder Shares, the remaining net proceeds from the initial public offering, the sale of Private Placement Warrants, the Promissory Note and the Convertible Note.

The Company has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of it financing and acquisition plans. The Company lacks the financial resources it needs to sustain operations for a reasonable period of time, which is considered to be one year from the issuance date of the financial statements. Although no formal agreement exists, the Sponsor is committed to extend loans as needed (see Note 5). Accordingly, the Company may not be able to obtain additional financing. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital, it may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but not limited to, curtailing operations, suspending the pursuit of a potential merger target, and reducing overhead expenses. The Company cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available to in on commercially acceptable terms, if at all, or that its plans to consummate an initial Business Combination will be successful.

In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board’s 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 above liquidity issues and the mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution, should the Company be unable to complete a Business Combination, raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company has until February 2023 to consummate a Business Combination. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of time within one year after the date that the condensed financial statements are issued. If a Business Combination is not consummated by this date, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after February 2023.

Risks and Uncertainties

In February 2022, the Russian Federation and Belarus commenced a military action with the country of Ukraine. As a result of this action, various nations, including the United States, have instituted economic sanctions against the Russian Federation and Belarus. As of the date of these financial statements, the impact of this action and the related sanctions on the world economy and the effect on these unaudited financial statements are currently not determinable.

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 and search for a target company, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of the unaudited condensed financial statements. The unaudited condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

8

Table of Contents

The Company’s results of operations and ability to complete an initial business combination may be adversely affected by various factors that could cause economic uncertainty and volatility in the financial markets, many of which are beyond the Company’s control. The Company’s business could be impacted by, among other things, downturns in the financial markets or in economic conditions, increases in oil prices, inflation, increases in interest rates, supply chain disruptions, declines in consumer confidence and spending, the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, including resurgences and the emergence of new variants, and geopolitical instability, such as the military conflict in the Ukraine. The Company cannot at this time fully predict the likelihood of one or more of the above events, their duration or magnitude or the extent to which they may negatively impact its business and the Company’s ability to complete an initial business combination.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP. In the opinion of management, the unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair statement of the balances and results for the periods presented. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 is not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected through December 31, 2022.

The Company’s subsidiaries include Crown PropTech Merger Sub I Corp., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned direct subsidiary of Crown (“Merger Sub I”) and Crown PropTech Merger Sub II LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly owned direct subsidiary of Crown (“Merger Sub II”); both of which were formed for the purposes of facilitating a proposed business agreement. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Form 10-K filed by the Company with the SEC on April 12, 2022.

 i 

Emerging Growth Company Status

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (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 auditor 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.

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial 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.

 i 

Use of Estimates

The preparation of these unaudited condensed financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at

 /

Table of Contents

the date of the unaudited condensed financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 i 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

 i 

Investments Held in Trust Account

At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Trust Account had $ i 276,427,886 and $ i 276,013,345 held in marketable securities, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and the three and six months end June 30, 2021, the Company did not withdraw any interest income from the Trust Account to pay its tax obligations.

 / 
 i 

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of a cash account in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Coverage of $ i 250,000.At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company has not experienced losses on this account.

 / 
 i 

Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption

The Company accounts for its Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Class A ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as a liability instrument and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable ordinary shares (including ordinary shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, ordinary shares are classified as shareholders’ equity. The Company’s Class A ordinary shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021,  i  i 27,600,000 /  shares of Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ equity section of the Company’s balance sheet.

As of December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2022, the ordinary shares subject to possible redemption reflected on the condensed balance sheet are reconciled in the following table:

Net Income per Ordinary Shares

The Company has two classes of shares, which are referred to as Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares. Earnings and losses are shared pro rata between the two classes of shares. Private and public warrants to purchase  i 14,213,333 Class A ordinary shares at $ i 11.50 per share were issued on February 11, 2021. No warrants were exercised during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. The calculation of diluted income per ordinary share does not consider the effect of the warrants issued in connection with the (i) IPO, (ii) exercise of over-allotment, and (iii) Private Placement since the exercise of the warrants are contingent upon the

Offering Costs

The Company complies with the requirements of the ASC 340-10-S99-1 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) Topic 5A - “Expenses of Offering”. Offering costs consist principally of professional and registration fees incurred through the balance sheet date that are related to the public offering upon the completion of the IPO. Transaction costs amounted to $ i 16,505,915 consisting of $ i 5,520,000 of underwriting fee, $ i 9,660,000 of deferred underwriting fee, $ i 795,825 of excess fair value of the Anchor Investor shares and $ i 530,090 of other offering costs. Of the total transaction costs $ i 819,794 was charged to non-operating expense in the statement of operations with the rest of the offering costs charged to temporary equity. The transaction costs were allocated based on the relative fair value basis, compared to the total offering proceeds, between the fair value of the warrant liabilities and the Class A ordinary shares.

 / 
 i 

Anchor Investors

The Company complies with SAB Topic 5.A to account for the valuation of the Founder Shares acquired by the Anchor Investors. The Founder Shares purchased by the Anchor Investors represent a capital contribution for the benefit of the Company and are recorded as offering costs and reflected as a reduction in the proceeds from the offering and offering expenses in accordance with ASC 470 and Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5A. As such, upon sale of  i 690,000 Founder Shares to the Anchor Investors the valuation of these shares were recognized as a deferred offering cost and charged to temporary equity and other expenses. At February 11, 2021, the fair value of the Founder Shares to the Anchor Investors in excess of the amount paid was $ i 795,825.

 / 
 i 

Share based Compensation

The Company complies with ASC 718 Compensation — Stock Compensation regarding Founder Shares acquired by directors and independent advisors of the Company at prices below fair value. The acquired shares vested upon granting of the shares (the “Vesting Date”). The Founder Shares owned by the director (1) may not be sold or transferred, until one year after the consummation of a Business Combination, (2) not be entitled to redemption from the funds held in the Trust Account, or any liquidating distributions. The Company has 24 months from the date of the IPO to consummate a Business Combination, and if a Business Combination is not consummated, the Company will liquidate and the shares will become worthless.

11

Table of Contents

The shares were issued in February 2021 (“Grant Date”), and the shares vested immediately. Since the approach in ASC 718 is to determine the fair value without regard to the vesting date, the Company has determined the valuation of the Class B shares as of the Grant Dates. The valuation for the  i 250,000 shares in excess of the amount paid was not material.

 i 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the balance sheet.

 i 

Derivative Warrant Liabilities

The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. The Company evaluates all of its financial instruments, including issued stock purchase warrants and working capital loan options, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives, pursuant to ASC 480 and ASC 815-15. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period.

The Company accounts for its  i 14,213,333 ordinary share warrants issued in connection with its Initial Public Offering ( i 9,200,000) and Private Placement ( i 5,013,333) as derivative warrant liabilities in accordance with ASC 815-40. Accordingly, the Company recognizes the warrant instruments as liabilities at fair value and adjusts the instruments to fair value at each reporting period. The liabilities are subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in the Company’s statement of operations. The fair value of warrants issued by the Company in connection with the Public Offering and Private Placement has been estimated using binomial lattice model at each measurement date.

Working Capital Loans Option

On November 30, 2021, Richard Chera, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and director agreed to loan the Company up to $ i 1,500,000 to be used for a portion of the expenses of the Company. At the option of Richard Chera, the outstanding principle of $ i 450,000 may be converted into that number of warrants (“Conversion Warrants”) equal to the outstanding principle of the note divided by $ i 1.50 ( i 300,000 warrants). The option (“Working Capital Loan Option”) to convert the working capital loans into warrants qualifies as an embedded derivative under ASC 815 and is required to be reported at fair value. At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 the value of the Working Capital Loan Option was $ i  i 0 / .

 / 
 i 

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes,” which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the unaudited condensed financial statements and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in future taxable or deductible amounts, based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

ASC Topic 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the unaudited condensed financial statements 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’s management determined that the Cayman Islands is the Company’s major tax jurisdiction. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were  i  i no /  unrecognized tax benefits and  i  i no /  amounts accrued for interest and penalties. 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 considered to be an exempted Cayman Islands company with no connection to any other taxable jurisdiction and is presently not subject to income taxes or income tax filing requirements in the Cayman Islands or the United States. As such, the Company’s tax provision was zero for the period presented.

Recent Accounting Standards

During August 2020, the 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. The Company adopted ASU 2020-06 on January 1, 2022 and the standard was applied on a full retrospective basis. There was no material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

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

Note 3 — Initial Public Offering

Pursuant to the Initial Public Offering, the Company sold  i 27,600,000 Units, (at a price of $ i 10.00 per Unit. Each Unit consists of  i one share of Class A Ordinary shares, par value $ i 0.0001 per share one-third of one redeemable warrant (“Public Warrant”). Each whole Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase  i one share of Class A Ordinary shares at a price of $ i 11.50 per share.

Note 4 — Private Placement Warrants

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Sponsor and certain funds and accounts managed by subsidiaries of BlackRock, Inc. (collectively, the “Anchor Investor”) purchased an aggregate of  i 5,013,333 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $ i 1.50 per warrant ($ i 7,520,000 in the aggregate), each Private Placement Warrant is exercisable to purchase  i one share of Class A ordinary shares at a price of $ i 11.50 per share. A portion of the purchase price of the Private Placement Warrants was added to the proceeds from the IPO to be held in the Trust Account.

Founder Shares

On October 13, 2020, the Company issued  i 5,750,000 Class B ordinary shares to the Sponsor for an aggregate purchase price of $ i 25,000 (the “Founder Shares”). On February 9, 2021, the Company effected a dividend of  i 0.2 of a share of Class B ordinary shares for each share of Class B ordinary shares, resulting in  i 6,900,000 shares of Class B ordinary shares being issued and outstanding.

On February 11, 2021, the Sponsor transferred  i 690,000 Founder Shares to the Anchor Investors for $ i 2,500. In February 2021 the Sponsor transferred an aggregate of  i 250,000 Founder Shares to four of the Company’s independent directors and two independent advisors. After transferring shares to the Anchor Investors, directors and advisors, the Sponsor owns  i 5,960,000 Founder Shares.

The Sponsor and the Anchor Investor have agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of (i) one year after the completion of a Business Combination or (ii) the date following the completion of a Business Combination on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of the shareholders having the right to exchange their ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the closing price of the Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $ i 12.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any  i 20 trading days within any  i 30-trading day period commencing at least  i 150 days after a Business Combination, the Founder Shares will be released from the lockup.

Promissory Note — Related Party

On October 13, 2020, the Company issued a promissory note (the “Promissory Note”) to the Sponsor, pursuant to which the Company may borrow up to an aggregate principal amount of $ i 300,000. The Promissory Note is non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of (i) December 31, 2021 or (ii) the completion of the IPO. On February 11, 2021, the Company had repaid the Promissory Note in full. After the IPO, no future borrowings are permitted under this Promissory Note.

Administrative Support Agreement

Commencing on the date of the IPO, the Company has agreed to pay the Sponsor a total of $ i 15,000 per month for office space and administrative support services. Upon completion of the initial business combination or the Company’s liquidation, the Company will cease paying these monthly fees.

Working Capital Loans

In order to finance transaction costs in connection with a business combination, the initial shareholders or an affiliate of the initial shareholders or certain of the Company’s directors and officers 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, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $ i 1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into warrants of the post-business combination entity at a price of $ i 1.50 per warrant. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants.

On November 30, 2021, the Company entered into a convertible note with Richard Chera, its Chief Executive Officer and director, pursuant to which the Mr. Chera agreed to loan the Company up to an aggregate principal amount of $ i 1,500,000 (the “Convertible Note”). The Convertible Note is non-interest bearing and due on the earlier of: (i)  i 12 months from the date thereof or (ii) the date on which we consummate a business combination. If the Company does not consummate a business combination, the Company may use a portion of any funds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Convertible Note; however, no proceeds from the Trust Account may be used for such repayment if the Company does not consummate the business combination. Up to $ i 1,500,000 of the Convertible Note may be converted into warrants at a price of $ i 1.50 per warrant at the option of Mr. Chera. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the outstanding balance under the Convertible Note amounted to an aggregate of $ i  i 450,000 / .

Note 6 — Commitments & Contingencies

Registration Rights

The holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and any warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans (and any ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants or warrants issued upon conversion of the Working Capital Loans and upon conversion of the Founder Shares) will be entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement to be signed prior to or on the effective date of the IPO requiring the Company to register such securities for resale. The holders of these securities will be entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of a business combination. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Underwriters Agreement

On February 11, 2021, the Company paid a fixed underwriting discount of $ i 0.20 per Unit, or $ i 5,520,000 in the aggregate. Additionally, a deferred underwriting discount of $ i 0.35 per Unit, or $ i 9,660,000 in the aggregate, will be payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completes an initial business combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement. Of such amount, at the sole discretion of the Company after consultation with the underwriters up to $ i 0.175 per unit, or up to $ i 4,830,000, may be paid to third-party advisors to assist the Company in identifying or consummating an initial Business Combination.

Advisory Service Agreements

The Company has enlisted various entities as capital market advisors to assist in the identification and consummation of an initial Business Combination. Fees for such services are payable only upon consummation of an initial Business Combination by the Company and are payable out of funds allocated as the deferred underwriters’ discount.

Attorney Fees

The Company has incurred business combination related legal fees, none of which are payable until consummation of the proposed Brivo Business Combination. As of June 30, 2022 total fees incurred amounted to approximately $ i 6.2 million. Of the total legal fees,  i 20% or approximately $ i 1.2 million are contingent upon consummation of a business combination. If the Company is unable to complete a business combination within the Combination Period, no funds held in the Trust Account may be used to settle any balance due. The Company continues to incur business combination related legal fees and the ultimate amount of such payments will be quantified at or near the time of closing.

Legal Proceedings

As of the date of this Form 10-Q, and in connection with the Business Combination with Brivo, Crown has received  i two demand letters by purported stockholders of Crown. On January 4, 2022, Crown received a demand letter by a purported stockholder of Crown. The demand letter alleges, among other things, that the Crown board of directors violated certain sections of the Exchange Act by authorizing the filing of a materially incomplete and misleading registration statement with the SEC. The demand letter seeks, among other things, that Crown provide additional disclosures related to the Business Combination. On January 14, 2022, Crown received a demand letter by a purported stockholder of Crown. The demand letter alleges, among other things, that Crown filed a registration statement that omits material information with respect to the Business Combination. The demand letter seeks, among other things, that Crown provide additional disclosures related to the Business Combination. On June 27, 2022, Crown received a demand letter by a purported stockholder of Crown. The demand letter alleges, among other things, that the Registration Statement fails to disclose material information regarding the Brivo Business Combination. The demand letter seeks, among other things, that Crown provide additional disclosures related to the Brivo Business Combination. Crown believes that the claims asserted in these demand letters are without merit and intends to defend vigorously against all claims asserted.

Additional potential plaintiffs may file lawsuits challenging the Business Combination. The outcome of any future litigation is uncertain.

In connection with determining the probability of loss associated with such legal proceedings and whether any potential losses associated therewith are estimable, the Company takes into account what is believed to be all relevant known facts and circumstances, and what is believed to be reasonable assumptions regarding the application of those facts and circumstances to existing agreements, laws and regulations.

Accordingly, the Company can provide no assurance that the outcome of the various legal proceedings that the Company is currently involved in, or will become involved with in the future, will not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the Company’s balance sheet, statement of operations or cash flows.

Note 7 — Shareholders’ Deficit

Preference Shares — The Company is authorized to issue a total of  i  i 1,000,000 /  preference shares at par value of $ i  i 0.0001 /  each. At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were  i  i no /  preference shares issued or outstanding.

Class A Ordinary Shares — The Company is authorized to issue a total of  i  i 200,000,000 /  Class A ordinary shares at par value of $ i  i 0.0001 /  each. At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were  i  i no /  shares issued and outstanding (excluding  i  i 27,600,000 /  shares subject to possible redemption).

Class B Ordinary Shares — The Company is authorized to issue a total of  i  i 20,000,000 /  Class B ordinary shares at par value of $ i  i 0.0001 /  each. At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were  i  i 6,900,000 /  Class B ordinary shares issued or outstanding.

Holders of Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares will vote together as a single class on all other matters submitted to a vote of shareholders, except as required by law; provided that only holders of Class B ordinary shares have the right to vote on the appointment of directors prior to the Company’s initial business combination.

The Class B ordinary shares will automatically convert into Class A ordinary shares concurrently with or immediately following the completion of a business combination on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment. In the case that additional Class A ordinary shares or equity-linked securities are issued or deemed issued in connection with a business combination, the number of Class A ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of all Founder Shares will equal, in the aggregate,  i 20% of the total number of Class A ordinary shares outstanding after such conversion (after giving effect to any redemptions of Class A ordinary shares by public shareholders), including the total number of Class A ordinary shares 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 a business combination, excluding any Class A ordinary shares or equity-linked securities exercisable for or convertible into Class A ordinary shares issued, or to be issued, to any seller in a 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.

Note 8 — Warrants

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

The Company will not be obligated to deliver any Class A ordinary shares pursuant to the exercise of a Public Warrant and will have no obligation to settle such Public Warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the Class A ordinary shares underlying the Public Warrants is then effective and a prospectus relating thereto is current, subject to the Company satisfying its obligations with respect to registration. No Public Warrant will be exercisable and the Company 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 is available.

 /

Table of Contents

The Company has agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than  i 15 business days, after the closing of the Company’s business combination, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement for the registration, under the Securities Act, of the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants. The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the same to become effective and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement, and a current prospectus relating thereto, until the expiration or redemption of the warrants in accordance with the provisions of the warrant agreement. If a registration statement covering the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective by the 60th business day after the closing of a 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 Class A ordinary shares 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, the Company will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, and in the event the Company does not so elect, it will use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available.

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

in whole and not in part;
at a price of $ i 0.01 per warrant;
upon not less than  i 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption;
to each warrant holder; and
if, and only if, the reported closing price of the ordinary shares equals or exceeds $ i 18.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any  i 20 trading days within a  i 30-trading day period ending three business days before we send to the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.

If and when the warrants become redeemable by the Company, the Company may exercise its redemption right even if it is unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws. If the Company calls the Public Warrants for redemption, as described above, its management will have the option to require any holder that wishes to exercise the Public Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis,” as described in the warrant agreement. The exercise price and number of ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a share dividend, extraordinary dividend or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, except as described below, the Public Warrants will not be adjusted for issuances of ordinary shares at a price below its exercise price. Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the Public 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 Public Warrants will not receive any of such funds with respect to their Public Warrants, nor will they receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with respect to such Public Warrants. Accordingly, the Public Warrants may expire worthless.

In addition, if (x) the Company issues additional Class A ordinary shares or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of a business combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $ i 9.20 per Class A ordinary share (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by the Company’s board of directors and, in the case of any such issuance to the Sponsor or its affiliates, without taking into account any Founder Shares held by the Sponsor or such affiliates, as applicable, prior to such issuance) (the “Newly Issued Price”), (y) the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent more than  i 60% of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available for the funding of a business combination, and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of the Class A ordinary shares during the  i 20 trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which the Company consummates a business combination (such price, the “Market Value”) is below $ i 9.20 per share, then the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to  i 115% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, and the $ i 10.00 and $ i 18.00 per share redemption trigger prices will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to  i 100% and  i 180% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, respectively.

Table of Contents

The Private Placement Warrants will be identical to the Public Warrants underlying the Units being sold in the IPO, except that (x) the Private Placement Warrants and the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants will not be transferable, assignable or salable until  i 30 days after the completion of a business combination, subject to certain limited exceptions, (y) the Private Placement Warrants will be exercisable on a cashless basis and be non-redeemable so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees and (z) the Private Placement Warrants and the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants will be entitled to registration rights. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by someone other than the initial purchasers or their 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 9 — Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for sale of an asset or paid for transfer of a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). These tiers include:

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

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

The Company’s permitted investments consist of U.S. Money Market funds. Fair values of these investments are determined by Level 1 inputs utilizing quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets.

Upon inception, the Company’s warrants were based on valuation models utilizing inputs from observable and unobservable markets with less volume and transaction frequency than active markets. The inputs used to determine the fair value of the Warrant liabilities were classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

On March 30, 2021 the Company’s Public Warrants began trading on the New Yock Stock Exchange. Consequently, the Company’s warrant liability for the Public Warrants is based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. The fair value of the Public Warrant liability is classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

The Company’s management believes the Private Warrants are economically equivalent to the Public Warrants. As such, the valuation of the Private Warrants are based on the valuation of the Public Warrants. The fair value of the Private Warrant liability is classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy due to the Company using quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets.

The Company’s Working Capital Loan option was based on a valuation model utilizing inputs from observable and unobservable markets with less volume and transaction frequency than active markets. The inputs used to determine the fair value of the Working Capital Loan option liability were classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Note 10 — Subsequent Events

The Company evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date through the date that the unaudited condensed financial statements were issued. Based upon this review, other than noted below, the Company did not identify any subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the unaudited condensed financial statements other than the matters discussed below:

On July 11, 2022, Crown received a notice of election from Golub, notifying Crown that Golub has elected to terminate Golub’s Subscription Agreement (see Note 1).

On August 10, 2022 the Company received a notice of election from Brivo, notifying the Company that Brivo has elected to terminate the Business Combination. As a result of such election the Business Combination was immediately terminated. In addition, the rest of the Subscription Agreements were automatically terminated.

The Company has borrowed $ i 491,000 under the Convertible Note as of August 19, 2022.

References to the “Company,” “Crown,” “our,” “us” or “we” refer to Crown PropTech Acquisitions. The following discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed financial statements and the notes thereto contained elsewhere in this report. Certain information contained in the discussion and analysis set forth below includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and projections about future events. These forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions about us that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “would” or the negative of such terms or other similar expressions. Such statements include, but are not limited to, possible business combinations and the financing thereof, and related matters, as well as all other statements other than statements of historical fact included in this Form 10-Q. Factors that might cause or contribute to such a discrepancy include, but are not limited to, those described in our other Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filings.

Overview

We are a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on September 24, 2020 for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (a “business combination”). Our sponsor is Crown PropTech Sponsor, LLC, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“sponsor”).

The registration statement for our initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering”) became effective on February 8, 2021. On February 11, 2021, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 27,600,000 units, which included the exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase an additional 3,600,000 units at the Initial Public Offering price to cover over-allotments (the “Units” with respect to the Class A ordinary shares included in the Units being offered, the “Public Shares” with respect to the one-third of one redeemable warrant included in such Units the “Public Warrant”), at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $276.0 million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $15.8 million, inclusive of approximately $9.7 million in deferred underwriting commissions.

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the private placement (“Private Placement”) of 5,013,333 warrants (each, a “Private Placement Warrant” and collectively, the “Private Placement Warrants”), at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant with the sponsor, generating gross proceeds of approximately $7.5 million.

Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement, approximately $276.0 million ($10.00 per Unit) of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and certain of the proceeds of the Private Placement were placed in a trust account (“trust account”), located in the United States with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee, and invested only in United States “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (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 us, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a business combination and (ii) the distribution of the trust account as described below.

Table of Contents

If we have not completed a business combination within 24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering, or February 11, 2023 (the “Combination Period”), 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 and not previously released to us to pay our income taxes, if any (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses) divided by the number of the then-outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Public Shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any); and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining shareholders and the board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii), to our obligations under Cayman Islands 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 our outstanding warrants, which will expire worthless if we fail to consummate a business combination within the Combination Period.

Termination of the Proposed Brivo Transaction

On November 10, 2021, we entered into a business combination agreement (as it may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “BCA” or the “Business Combination Agreement”), by and among (i) us, (ii) Crown PropTech Merger Sub I Corp, a Delaware corporation and wholly owned direct subsidiary of Crown (“Merger Sub I”), (iii) Crown PropTech Merger Sub II LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of Crown (“Merger Sub II”, and together with Merger Sub I the “Merger Subs”) and (iv) Brivo, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Brivo” and all the parties to the Business Combination Agreement, the “Parties to the Business Combination Agreement”) (the “Business Combination”). The obligation of Brivo to consummate the Business Combination was subject to certain closing conditions, including, but not limited to, the aggregate cash proceeds from Crown’s trust account, together with the proceeds from the sale of the PIPE Notes (as defined below), equaling no less than $75 million (after deducting any amounts paid to Crown shareholders that exercise their redemption rights in connection with the Business Combination) (the “BCA Minimum Cash Condition”).

On May 12, 2022 we and the other parties to the Business Combination Agreement entered into a First Amendment (the “First Amendment”) to the Business Combination Agreement. The First Amendment provides for an amendment to the definition of the “Outside Date” in the Business Combination Agreement and changes the date listed therein from July 10, 2022 to August 9, 2022 or such later date as may be mutually agreed by Crown and Brivo.

In connection with the signing of the Business Combination Agreement, we entered into subscription agreements (the “Subscription Agreements”) with certain investors (the “PIPE Investors”), pursuant to which the PIPE Investors agreed to subscribe for and, in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination, purchase convertible notes (the “PIPE Notes”), with an aggregate principal amount of $75 million, on the terms and subject to the conditions therein. Pursuant to the terms of the Subscription Agreements, each PIPE Investor had the right to terminate its Subscription Agreement after July 9, 2022, if the closing of the Business Combination had not occurred as of such date or at any date and time as the Business Combination Agreement is validly terminated. In addition, the obligation of the PIPE Investors to consummate the purchase of the PIPE Notes was subject to certain other closing conditions, including Crown having at closing at least $95 million of unrestricted cash and, to the extent a revolving credit facility existed at closing, the unrestricted cash together with the undrawn availability under that facility being at least $115 million (the “SA Minimum Cash Condition” and, together with the BCA Minimum Cash Condition, the “Minimum Cash Conditions”).

Golub Capital LLC and its affiliates (such entity, together with its affiliates, “Golub”), a PIPE Investor, subscribed for PIPE Notes with an aggregate principal amount of $68 million. On July 11, 2022, we received a notice of election from Golub, notifying us that Golub has elected to terminate Golub’s Subscription Agreement because the Business Combination was not consummated by July 9, 2022.

Table of Contents

The Business Combination Agreement may be terminated under certain customary and limited circumstances prior to the closing of the Business Combination, including, but not limited to, subject to certain limited exceptions, by either Crown or Brivo if the Business Combination is not consummated by August 9, 2022. On August 10, 2022 we received a notice of election from Brivo, notifying us that Brivo has elected to terminate the Business Combination. As a result of such election the Business Combination was immediately terminated. In addition, the rest of the Subscription Agreements were automatically terminated. We believe that prior to termination Brivo breached the Business Combination Agreement, and that EMBUIA LLC, an affiliate of Dean M. Drako, the Chairman of the board of directors of Brivo, breached the Stockholder Support Agreement (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement), in each case, including breaching their respective obligations not to take certain actions in connection with a Company Acquisition Proposal (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement). We intend to vigorously pursue its remedies.

The foregoing description of the Business Combination Agreement, the Subscription Agreements is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Business Combination Agreement and the Subscription Agreements, copies of which are included as Exhibits 2.1, 10.2, respectively, to the current report on Form 8-Ks filed with the SEC on November 16, 2021 and Exhibit 2.1 to the current report on Form 8-Ks filed with the SEC on May 13, 2022.

Results of Operations and Known Trends or Future Events

We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities since inception have been organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for the Initial Public Offering and identifying a target company for our initial business combination. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after completion of our initial business combination. We generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents held in the trust account. We incur expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses.

For the three months ended June 30, 2022, we had a net income of $212,753. We incurred $2,311,262 of operating costs consisting mostly of legal fees, generated income on our trust account for $392,015 and had a change in fair value of warrant liability of $2,132,000.

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, we had a net income of $3,569,242. We incurred $3,525,566 of operating costs consisting mostly of legal fees, generated income on our trust account for $414,541, and had a change in fair value of warrant liability of $6,680,267.

For the three months ended June 30, 2021, we had a net loss of $1,472,297. We incurred $481,236 of operating costs consisting mostly of general and administrative expenses, generated income on our trust account for $3,872 and had a change in fair value of warrant liability of $994,933.

For the six months ended June 30, 2021, we had a net income of $8,138,992. We incurred $607,545 of formation and operating costs consisting mostly of general and administrative expenses, expensed a portion of the offering costs associated with the Initial Public Offering in the amount of $780,268 based on a relative fair value basis, generated income on our trust account for $3,872 and had a change in fair value of warrant liability of $9,522,933.

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Going Concern

On February 11, 2021, we consummated our Initial Public Offering of 27,600,000 Units, at a price of $10.00 per Unit, which included the exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase an additional 3,600,000 Units at the Initial Public Offering price to cover over-allotments. The Units were sold, generating gross proceeds of $276,000,000. Substantially concurrently with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we completed the private sale of 5,013,333 Private Placement Warrants to our sponsor and the Anchor Investor at a purchase price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $7,520,000.

Following the Initial Public Offering, the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, and the underwriters election to fully exercise their over-allotment option, a total of $276,000,000 was placed in the trust account at J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, acting as trustee, and we had $1,919,091 of cash held outside of the trust account, after payment of costs related to the Initial Public Offering, and available for working capital purposes. We incurred $16,505,915 in transaction costs, including $5,520,000 of underwriting fees, $9,660,000 of deferred underwriting fees, $795,825 of excess fair value of the Anchor Investor shares and $530,090 of other offering costs.

Table of Contents

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, cash used in operating activities was $10,229, resulting primarily from the net income of $3,568,242 which was impacted by unrealized gain on change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $6,680,267 and trust dividend income of $414,541 and offset by changes in operating assets and liabilities used $3,515,337 of cash from operating activities.

As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had cash outside the trust account of $4,578 and $14,807 available for working capital needs and working capital deficit of $7,616,812 and $4,091,246, respectively. All remaining cash held in the trust account is generally unavailable for our use, prior to an initial business combination, and is restricted for use either in a business combination or to redeem ordinary shares. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, none of the amount in the trust account was available to be withdrawn as described above.

Through June 30, 2022, our liquidity needs were satisfied through receipt of $25,000 from the sale of the Founder Shares, the remaining net proceeds from the Initial Public Offering, the sale of Private Placement Warrants, the Promissory Note and the Convertible Note (as defined below).

On October 13, 2020, the Company issued a promissory note to the Sponsor, pursuant to which the Company may borrow up to an aggregate principal amount of $300,000 (the “Promissory Note”). The Promissory Note is non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of (i) December 31, 2021 or (ii) the completion of the IPO. On February 11, 2021, the Company had repaid the Promissory Note in full. After the Initial Public Offering, no future borrowings are permitted under this Promissory Note.

On November 30, 2021, we entered into a convertible note with Richard Chera, our Chief Executive Officer and Director, pursuant to which Mr. Chera agreed to loan us up to an aggregate principal amount of $1,500,000 (the “Convertible Note”). The Convertible Note is non-interest bearing and due on the earlier of: (i) 12 months from the date thereof or (ii) the date on which we consummate a business combination. If we do not consummate a business combination, we may use a portion of any funds held outside the trust account to repay the Convertible Note; however, no proceeds from the trust account may be used for such repayment if we do not consummate a business combination. Up to $1,500,000 of the Convertible Note may be converted into warrants at a price of $1.50 per warrant at the option of Mr. Chera. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. As of June 30, 2022, the outstanding balance under the Convertible Note amounted to an aggregate of $450,000.

We have incurred and expects to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of it financing and acquisition plans. We lack the financial resources it needs to sustain operations for a reasonable period of time, which is considered to be one year for the issuance date of the financial statements. Although no formal agreement exists, the Sponsor is committed to extend loans as needed. Accordingly, we may not be able to obtain additional financing. If we are unable to raise additional capital, it may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but not limited to, curtailing operations, suspending the pursuit of a potential merger target, and reducing overhead expenses. We cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available to us on commercially acceptable terms, if at all, or that our plans to consummate an initial Business Combination will be successful.

In connection with our assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board’s Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” we have determined that the mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution, should we be unable to complete a business combination, raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We have until February 2023 to consummate a business combination. If a business combination is not consummated by this date, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution.

Commitments and Contingencies

Registration Rights

The holders of the founder shares, Private Placement Warrants and any warrants that may be issued upon conversion of working capital loans (and any ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants or warrants issued upon conversion of the working capital loans and upon conversion of the founder shares) are entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement signed prior to the effective date of the Initial Public offering requiring the Company to register such securities for resale. The holders of these securities will be entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggyback” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of a business combination. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements. On November 10, 2021 (but effective as of the closing of the Brivo Business Combination), and as part of the Brivo Business Combination, New Brivo, the sponsor, Anchor Investor and certain other stockholders and directors and officers of Crown and Brivo entered into the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement. As part of the termination of the Business Combination the Restated Registration Right Agreement was automatically terminated.

Underwriting Agreement

On February 11, 2021, we paid a fixed underwriting discount of $0.20 per Unit, or $5,520,000 in the aggregate. Additionally, a deferred underwriting discount of $0.35 per Unit, or $9,660,000 in the aggregate, will be payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the trust account solely in the event that the Company completes an initial business combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement. Of such amount, at the sole discretion of the Company after consultation with the underwriters up to $0.175 per unit, or up to $4,830,000, may be paid to third-party advisors to assist us in identifying or consummating an initial Business Combination.

Advisory Service Agreements

We have enlisted various entities as capital market advisors to assist in the identification and consummation of an initial Business Combination. Fees for such services are payable only upon consummation of an initial Business Combination by us and are payable out of funds allocated as the deferred underwriters’ discount.

Administrative Support Agreement

We have an agreement to pay the sponsor or an affiliate thereof a total of up to $15,000 per month for office space, utilities, secretarial and administrative support services provided to members of our management team. As of June 30, 2022, we have not made any payments pursuant to the administrative agreement and do not expect to incur any related expenses in the near future.

Attorney Fees

We have incurred business combination related legal fees. As of June 30, 2022 total fees incurred amounted to $6,248,298 million. Of the total legal fees, 20% or $1,249,660 are contingent upon consummation of a business combination. If we are unable to complete a business combination within the Combination Period, no funds held in the trust account may be used to settle any balance due. We continue to incur business combination related legal fees and the ultimate amount of such payments will be quantified at or near the time of closing.

Table of Contents

Convertible Note

On November 30, 2021, we entered into a convertible note with Richard Chera, our Chief Executive Officer and Director, pursuant to which Mr. Chera agreed to loan us up to an aggregate principal amount of $1,500,000. See Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

Contractual Obligation

We do not have any long-term debt obligations, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations, purchase obligations or long-term liabilities other than described above.

Critical Accounting Policies

This management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our unaudited condensed financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these unaudited condensed financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in our financial statements. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to fair value of financial instruments and accrued expenses. We base our estimates on historical experience, known trends and events and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption

The Company accounts for its Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Class A ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as a liability instrument and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable ordinary shares (including ordinary shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, Class A ordinary shares are classified as stockholders’ equity. The Company’s Class A ordinary shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, as of June 30, 2022, 27,600,000 shares of Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ equity section of the Company’s balance sheet.

Net Loss per Ordinary Shares

We have two classes of shares, which are referred to as Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares. Earnings and losses are shared pro rata between the two classes of shares. The 14,213,333 potential ordinary shares for outstanding warrants to purchase our shares were excluded from diluted earnings per share for the three months ended June 30, 2022 because the warrants are contingently exercisable, and the contingencies have not yet been met. As a result, diluted net income per ordinary share is the same as basic net income per ordinary share for the periods presented.

Anchor Investors

The Company complies with SAB Topic 5.A to account for the valuation of the founder shares acquired by the Anchor Investors. The founder shares purchased by the Anchor Investors represent a capital contribution for the benefit of the Company and are recorded as offering costs and reflected as a reduction in the proceeds from the offering and offering expenses in accordance with ASC 470 and Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5A. As such, upon sale of 690,000 founder shares to the Anchor Investors the valuation of these shares were recognized as a deferred offering cost and charged to temporary equity and other expenses. At February 11, 2021, the fair value of the founder shares to the Anchor Investors in excess of the amount paid was $795,825.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2020, the 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. We adopted ASU 2020-06 on January 1, 2022 and the standard was applied on a full retrospective basis. There was no material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

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

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of June 30, 2022, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K.

JOBS Act

The Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”) contains provisions that, among other things, relax certain reporting requirements for qualifying public companies. We qualify as an “emerging growth company” and under the JOBS Act are allowed to comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements based on the effective date for private (not publicly traded) companies. We are electing to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards, and as a result, we may not comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non-emerging growth companies. As a result, the unaudited condensed financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.

Additionally, we are in the process of evaluating the benefits of relying on the other reduced reporting requirements provided by the JOBS Act. Subject to certain conditions set forth in the JOBS Act, if, as an “emerging growth company,” we choose to rely on such exemptions we may not be required to, among other things, (i) provide an auditor’s attestation report on our system of internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404, (ii) 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, (iii) comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the PCAOB regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (auditor discussion and analysis) and (iv) disclose certain executive compensation related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the CEO’s compensation to median employee compensation. These exemptions will apply for a period of five years following the completion of our Initial Public Offering or until we are no longer an “emerging growth company,” whichever is earlier.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

As of June 30, 2022, we were not subject to any material market or interest rate risk. Following the consummation of our Initial Public Offering, the net proceeds of our Initial Public Offering, including amounts in the trust account, were invested in U.S. government treasury bills, notes or bonds with a maturity of 180 days or less or in certain money market funds that invest solely in U.S. treasuries. Due to the short-term nature of these investments, we do not believe that there will be an associated material exposure to interest rate risk.

We have not engaged in any hedging activities since our inception and we do not expect to engage in any hedging activities with respect to the market risk to which we are exposed.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

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

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We determined that we had initially recorded our public and private warrants as equity instruments instead of as liabilities in our balance sheet as of March 26, 2021, which we filed on Form 8-K on April 1, 2021.

On June 1, 2021, we filed with the SEC Amendment No. 1 on Form 8-K/A to amend and restate our audited balance sheet to reflect the classification of our warrants as a liability, in accordance with the SEC April 12, 2021 statement.

In addition, as part of a subsequent review of our accounting for more complex equity situations, we also changed our accounting methodology for our Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption to be in accordance with guidance in FASB ASC Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Redeemable equity instruments (including equity instruments that feature redemption rights that are either with the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) are classified as temporary equity. Accordingly, we have determined that all of our outstanding Class A ordinary shares should be presented as temporary equity.

On June 1, 2021, management has identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting related to the accounting of complex financial instruments due to the errors related to the classification of our warrants and Class A ordinary shares, as described above. To respond to this material weakness, we have devoted, and plan to continue to devote, significant effort and resources to the remediation and improvement of our internal control over financial reporting. While we have processes to identify and appropriately apply applicable accounting requirements, we plan to enhance our system of evaluating and implementing the accounting standards that apply to our financial statements, including through enhanced analyses by our personnel and third-party professionals with whom we consult regarding complex accounting applications. The elements of our remediation plan can only be accomplished over time, and we can offer no assurance that these initiatives will ultimately have the intended effects.

On December 9, 2021, we filed with the SEC Amendment No. 2 on Form 8-K/A to amend and restate our audited balance sheet to reflect the changes resulting from our determination that all of our outstanding Class A ordinary shares should be presented as temporary equity.

On December 10, 2021, we filed with the SEC Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-Q/A to amend and restate our previously issued financial statements to reflect the changes resulting from our determination to that all of our outstanding Class A ordinary shares should be presented as temporary equity.

Due to the impact of these errors in the classification of our warrants and Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption, we determined that a material weakness exists in our internal control over financial reporting.

As required by Rules 13a-15f and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, Richard Chera, our Chief Executive Officer and principal financial officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2022. Based upon his evaluation, Richard Chera, our Chief Executive Officer and principal financial officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures relating to financial instruments (as defined in Rules 13a-15 (e) and 15d-15 (e) under the Exchange Act) were not effective as of June 30, 2022.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period from April 1, 2022 through June 30, 2022, covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we may be subject to legal proceedings and claims that arise in the search for a potential target business.

As of the date of this Form 10-Q, and in connection with the Brivo Business Combination, we have received two demand letters by purported stockholders of Crown. On January 4, 2022, we received a demand letter by a purported stockholder of Crown. The demand letter alleges, among other things, that our board of directors violated certain sections of the Exchange Act by authorizing the filing of a materially incomplete and misleading registration statement with the SEC. The demand letter seeks, among other things, that we provide additional disclosures related to the Brivo Business Combination. On January 14, 2022, we received a demand letter by a purported stockholder of Crown. The demand letter alleges, among other things, that we filed a registration statement that omits material information with respect to the Brivo Business Combination. The demand letter seeks, among other things, that we provide additional disclosures related to the Brivo Business Combination. On June 27, 2022, we received a demand letter by a purported stockholder of Crown. The demand letter alleges, among other things, that the Registration Statement fails to disclose material information regarding the Brivo Business Combination. The demand letter seeks, among other things, that we provide additional disclosures related to the Brivo Business Combination. We believe that the claims asserted in these demand letters are without merit and intends to defend vigorously against all claims asserted. Given the termination of the Business Combination Agreement, we believe these claims in the demand letters are now moot. On August 10, 2022, we received a notice of election from Brivo, notifying us that Brivo has elected to terminate the Business Combination. As a result of such election the Business Combination was immediately terminated. We believe that prior to termination Brivo breached the Business Combination Agreement, and that EMBUIA LLC, an affiliate of Dean M. Drako, the Chairman of the board of directors of Brivo, breached the Stockholder Support Agreement (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement), in each case, including breaching their respective obligations not to take certain actions in connection with a Company Acquisition Proposal (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement). We intend to vigorously pursue its remedies.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Other than the risk factors below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in the Company's Annual Report on form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, dated April 12, 2022.

On August 10, 2022 the Business Combination Agreement was terminated, and if Crown is not able to complete another business combination by February 11, 2023, as such date may be extended pursuant to the existing governing documents, Crown would cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up and Crown would redeem Crown Class A ordinary shares and liquidate the trust account, in which case the public shareholders may only receive their pro rata share of the funds in the trust account and Crown warrants will expire worthless.

On August 10, 2022 the Business Combination Agreement was terminated and Crown may not be able to timely complete another business combination with a new target. Crown may not be able to complete another business combination, among others, due to, the relatively short period of time left until February 11, 2023, which may not be enough time to find, agree upon and approve a new business combination, the changes in the U.S. and global capital markets conditions, the rapid changes in the U.S. and global economy, including the increasing of inflation rates and interest rates, and the capital and resources Crown spent in order to pursue the Business Combination with Brivo. If Crown is not able to complete a business combination by February 11, 2023, as such date may be extended pursuant to the existing governing documents Crown 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 (less taxes payable and up to $100,000 of interest income to pay dissolution expenses) divided by the number of then-outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining Crown shareholders and the Crown Board, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to Crown’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. In such case, the public shareholders may only receive their pro rata share of the funds in the trust account and Crown warrants will expire worthless.

Mutual Claims by Crown and Brivo related to the circumstances that led to the termination of the Business Combination with Brivo may develop into legal proceedings between the parties which may affect Crown’s ability to pursue or complete another business combination and may cause Crown to incur substantial costs and resources with respect to such claims or legal proceedings8.

On July 5, 2022 Crown issued Brivo a notice that (i) information has come to its attention which indicates that (a) Brivo has breached its obligations under Section 8.05 of the Business Combination Agreement and (b) a Key Brivo Stockholder has breached its obligations under Section 3 of the Stockholder Support Agreement and (ii) Brivo has breached its obligations under Sections 8.01(a) and 8.09(a) of the Business Combination Agreement. Crown demanded that Brivo and the Key Brivo Stockholder comply with all of their respective obligations under the Business Combination Agreement and the Stockholder Support Agreement. On July 6, Brivo responded to Crown’s notice, denied Crown’s claims and gave notice to Crown that Crown has breached its obligations under Section 8.01(a) and 8.09(a) of the Business Combination Agreement. Brivo also claimed that is has not seen any evidence that Crown is able to satisfy the conditions to closing of the Subscription Agreement with Golub and therefore the conditions to closing of the Business Combination Agreement. On July 12, 2022 Crown responded to Brivo’s letter dated July 6, 2022, denied Brivo’s claims and added that Crown has specific and credible information that Brivo and the Key Brivo Stockholder have breached the Business Combination Agreement and the Stockholder Support Agreement, respectively. Such notices were pursuant to the obligations under the Business Combination Agreement. On August 10, 2022, we received a notice of election from Brivo, notifying us that Brivo has elected to terminate the Business Combination. As a result of such election the Business Combination was immediately terminated. We believe that prior to termination Brivo breached the Business Combination Agreement, and that EMBUIA LLC, an affiliate of Dean M. Drako, the Chairman of the board of directors of Brivo, breached the Stockholder Support Agreement (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement), in each case, including breaching their respective obligations not to take certain actions in connection with a Company Acquisition Proposal (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement). We intend to vigorously pursue its remedies. These mutual claims may develop in the future into legal claims and proceedings. Such legal claims and proceeding may affect Crown’s ability to pursue or complete another business combination and could cause Crown to incur substantial costs and resources and therefore Crown may not be able to continue its operation for the full 24-month period after Crown’s Initial Public Offering or divide its limited resources to find and complete another timely business combination with a new target.

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

Unregistered Sales

None.

Use of Proceeds

Of the $283,520,000 in proceeds, we received from our Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, a total of $276,000,000, including $9,660,000 payable to the underwriter for deferred underwriting commissions, was placed in the trust account.

There has been no material change in the planned use of proceeds from such use as described in the Company’s final prospectus (File No. 333-252307), dated February 8, 2021, and filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act on February 10, 2021.

Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities

None.

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures

Not applicable.

Item 5. Other Information

As of the date of this report Crown's Chief Executive Officer is also acting as the principal financial officer.
